FREMONT, CA – February 2, 2017 – CORSAIR®, a world leader in PC gaming peripherals and enthusiast components, today announced its title sponsorship with BIG, an esports organization based in Berlin, Germany. BIG has been making waves in the Counter-Strike community ever since its inception in January 2017, and has since proven to be one of the best CS:GO teams in the world, achieving multiple top placements and receiving invites to every recent major tournament. BIG burst onto the scene with a top 8 finish at the PGL Major Krakow, before landing two podium finishes at DreamHack Denver and Esports World Convention late in 2017. CORSAIR will be outfitting BIG with performance gaming keyboards, mice, and mouse pads to continue their triumph both in their home country and across the globe.
“Millions of dedicated gamers worldwide compete to get better every day, yet only a few manage to reach the top to play against the best teams and players in the world,” said Daniel Finkler, CEO of BIG. “Ensuring you have the right equipment to compete is essential to keep up with the best. With CORSAIR on our side, we’ve equipped our team with the fastest performance gaming peripherals to give us the edge, and are proud to represent CORSAIR with our professional esports athletes.”
“CS:GO is one of the most demanding games in esports competition, and having top caliber equipment can make the difference between winning and losing,” commented Lauren Premo, Senior Manager of Gaming Marketing at CORSAIR. “That’s why CORSAIR is thrilled to be partnering with BIG. With an amazing roster of some of the top CS:GO players in the world now armed with the very latest CORSAIR gear, we’re looking forward to helping them elevate their game to unstoppable.”
February 2, 2018 – After successfully bringing Blood Bowl, the classic board game by Games Workshop, to Consoles and PC with two faithful adaptations, Cyanide Studio is proud to take on another fan favourite from the Warhammer 40,000 universe with their turn-based tactical game, Space Hulk: Tactics!
Bringing a unique twist to the classic gameplay of the cult board game, engage in bloody battles through an immense Space Hulk – a twisted mass of asteroids, wrecked ships and debris – as either a squad of Terminator Space Marines or the deadly alien Genestealers. Which side will you choose?
Battle through two distinct, narrative-driven campaigns, from the points of view of two different factions: one campaign puts you in control of a Blood Angels squad, which you will customise and upgrade as you progress, while the other puts you in control of the Genestealers for the first time in a Space Hulk game!
Space Hulk: Tactics is based on the rules of the popular board game, given a fresh new spin in the form of the unique Card system. Cards give more ways to customize your squad before a match, and allow you to turn the tides of battle with abilities that trigger game-changing effects when used at the right moment.
Test your skills against other players in the expansive online competitive multiplayer, letting you command a swarm of Genestealers or a custom squad of different unit types from one of four Space Marine Chapters – the Blood Angels, the Space Wolves, the Ultramarines, and the Dark Angels. Multiplayer modes and tools offer a rich and deep online experience, and include an intuitive map creation tool, which gives players everything they need to create original maps with custom objective, and share them with other players to play either online or against the AI, all from within the game!
Space Hulk: Tactics comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in 2018. More information will be unveiled in February at Le What’s Next de Focus press event in Paris.

February 1, 2018 – ‘Episode III: Human After All’ – meet the citizens of Vampyr’s 1918 London, and learn how DONTNOD will make you feel the death of each one you decide to feed on
Join DONTNOD Entertainment in their studio once again, for another look into the Parisian studio’s signature creative process behind their upcoming action-RPG Vampyr. Dontnod Presents Vampyr – Episode III: Human After All introduces more exclusive gameplay footage, while focusing on the citizens of London and how each individual has been hand-crafted to feel as human as possible. This is the penultimate episode of this four-part webseries, produced and realized by the video department of Focus Home Interactive, with the final episode releasing next Thursday.
In Episode III: Human After All, DONTNOD reveals how integral each districts citizens are, both in terms of gameplay and narrative. Players will need to gain XP for Jonathan Reid to evolve new powers and grow stronger, but the most lucrative way to earn this is not through quests or defeating enemies in battle. Instead, the most effective way to get stronger is by killing and feeding on the various citizens living within the game’s four districts. Players are able to increase the XP from each citizen, by curing their illnesses and gaining more insight into their lives and emotions – but the price can be immense.
As explained by Stéphane Beauverger, Vampyr’s narrative director, players will hear the dying thoughts of every citizen they choose to sacrifice. This gives a bittersweet poignancy to every death, as DONTNOD wants players to not consider these citizens as nameless blood bags. In addition, each dead citizen will erode the status of the district they belonged to, with too many resulting in the population evacuating districts and causing them to be overrun by Skals and worse.
DONTNOD Presents Vampyr – Episode III is available to watch today, with the final 5-minute episode released next Thursday. For more information, visit the recently-relaunched Vampyr website.
Vampyr releases Spring 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
