Moscow – Aug. 20, 2019 – Deep Silver and 4A Games announced today that The Two Colonels, the first piece of story DLC for Metro Exodus, is out now and available on Xbox One, PlayStation® 4 and PC.
The Two Colonels DLC is set a year before the events of Metro Exodus and follows the journey of Colonel Khlebnikov during the last days of life in Novosibirsk. This is the same path that Colonel Miller will retrace a year later.
SPOILER WARNING: if you have not yet completed the Metro Exodus campaign, the below contains many, many spoilers.
Just below the surface of the dead city of Novosibirsk, Colonel Khlebnikov makes his way home to reunite with his son, Kirill, for New Year’s Eve.
But all is not well with the people of Novosibirsk: the slime is further consuming the tunnels, mutant attacks are on the rise and the precious ‘green stuff’ that protects the people from radiation poisoning is rapidly depleting. In order to secure the survival of any of their people, those in charge may need to take drastic measures …
The Two Colonels DLC delivers classic Metro gameplay, exploring the claustrophobic environments of Novosibirsk with all the hair-raising tension players expect from the Metro series.
This story also features a brand-new weapon to fight the slime and worms of the tunnels – the deadly flamethrower. Like the Tikhar, it needs to be pumped up to maintain its power, but can really light up a room … and a mutant or two. See it in action in our brand new trailer to celebrate the launch of The Two Colonels here: https://youtu.be/ShmRKvoHfXA
The Two Colonels is available to buy now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. It is included in the Metro Exodus Expansion Pass which also entitles holders to our second DLC, Sam’s Story, set for release in early 2020.

Lesquin, France, August 20, 2019 – More has been unveiled today about Overpass™, the new off-road simulation developed by Zordix Racing and published by Bigben. A new video highlights the game’s unique and innovative concept, which fans of motorsports and extreme driving will love.
At the controls of 25 buggies and quads from big-name manufacturers (Arctic Cat, Yamaha, Polaris and Suzuki), players will need to negotiate scree slopes, steep inclines and various obstacles on extreme off-road and technically challenging tracks.
With 40 routes in varied terrain and environments, a new challenge can be found in each race. Whether it involves hillclimbing or rock-crawling, the aim is to complete the race in the best time possible.
The realistic and technical level design, combined with the advanced physics engine, makes for an even greater challenge: mud, sand, rocks, natural and man-made obstacles… every type of terrain offers a unique test. Players must choose the vehicle best suited to the selected track, adapt their driving style and understand that speed is not always the answer. From expert control of acceleration, wise use of the transmission and differentials, and knowing when to shift from two- to four-wheel drive, there are many options to master on the road to off-road victory.
There are multiple game modes in Overpass™ : Career, Quick Race, Local Multiplayer (split screen and hotseat) and Online Multiplayer with up to eight players.
Overpass™ is coming to PlayStation®4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch™ in February 2020.

PARIS, France – August 19th, 2019 – What if you could rewrite the entire narrative of human history? How would you change the course of Humankind? These are the questions at the center of our newest, wildly ambitious historical turn-based strategy title Humankind, where you’ll be leading your people from the Neolithic era to the modern age, combining cultures as you progress through the eras to create your own unique civilization.
Humankind for us is truly a labor of love. As explained by our chief creative officer, Romain de Waubert: “Amplitude Studios was founded with the intention of creating this game, all the games we’ve created up until now have been leading up to this moment. We are so excited to finally be able to share with the community what has been at the heart of Amplitude since day one.”
Here’s what you can expect the day you launch your first game of Humankind:
One million civilizations– Create your own unique civilization by combining 60 different historical cultures from across the heritage of humanity. Begin as Ancient Egypt, then evolve into the Romans, the Khmers, or perhaps the Vikings—the choice is up to you. Each culture brings its own special gameplay layer, leading to near-endless outcomes.
More than history, it’s your story – Face real historical events and figures, make great scientific discoveries, and visit the wonders of the world. Shape your people’s beliefs and confront other players. Every decision you make adds a flourish to your story.
In the eyes of posterity– The journey matters more than destination. Fame is a new and unifying victory condition. Every great deed you accomplish, every moral choice you make, every battle won will build your fame and leave a lasting impact on the world. The player with the most fame will win the game.
A tactical world – Show off your tactical skills by mastering terrain elevation, city-building, full tactical battles and warfare. Choose the high ground for your city, and it will be harder to siege. Deploy your archers in the woods to avoid stampeding horsemen. Call upon your allies to help you in times of need and transform an epic battle into a full-scale multiplayer world war!
Humankind will release in 2020. A first look will be available to all Gamescom attendees at the SEGA area of the Deep Silver booth in Hall 9.1, Stand C-015-C-020. Stop by and catch a first glimpse of the future of the historical strategy genre.
For those who can’t make it, more information is of course available on the Humankind website as well as on the Steam page. Follow us on all social media at the handle @humankindgame. For more information about SEGA Europe, visit www.sega.co.uk.

RENTON, WA – August 19, 2019 – The world of Eberron offers an industrial take on fantasy storytelling with trains powered by lightning, airships docking above cities lit by magical streetlamps and manufactured humanoids walking among the elves and humans of the land. Eberron: Rising from the Last War is a 320-page book detailing the war-torn continent of Khorvaire, along with a wealth of features for D&D fans to incorporate into their characters’ adventures. It also introduces the artificer, the first new class made available for D&D since the release of the Player’s Handbook. Look for Eberron: Rising from the Last War everywhere on November 19, with a special alternate cover only available through game stores.
“Fans have been clamoring for more Eberron ever since we digitally released the Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron last year on the Dungeon Master’s Guild,” said Nathan Stewart, Vice President of the D&D franchise at Wizards of the Coast. “Eberron: Rising from the Last War is the culmination of hundreds of playtests and player feedback sessions, and we think fans looking for something new will enjoy adventuring through a world with magically powered trains, airships, and mechanical beings.”
In addition to the artificer class—which fuses technology and magic—players will also be able to customize their characters with four new races and twelve magical dragonmark tattoos. A new game element called group patrons also provides parties with shared background features, helping to define adventurers’ roles in the post-war world.
Dungeon Masters can also expect to find a new cache of tools in Eberron: Rising from the Last War, including an overview of the continent of Khorvaire, a gazetteer of the towering city of Sharn, maps of lightning-powered trains and industrial workshops, plus tons of adventure hooks and details on designing adventures set after the Last War.
Coinciding with the release of Eberron: Rising of the Last War on November 19, the D&D Adventurers League will release a new season of stories called The Oracle of War. Across twenty episodes, players will discover an incredible treasure in the magically devasted Mournland, an artifact they swiftly discover is desired by every faction in Khorvaire. Fans can find out about organized play campaigns in D&D Adventurers League at dndadventurersleague.org.
