October 18, 2018 – Call of Cthulhu, the official videogame adaptation of Chaosium’s pen-and-paper RPG, has gone Gold, ready for its release on October 30th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Today, dive into the Preview to Madness Trailer for a taste of the press’ first impressions, joined by a dose of Lovecraftian madness.

With Call of Cthulhu releasing in under two weeks, members of the press have already gotten their hands on the early hours of Detective Pierce’s haunting investigation. Today’s trailer explores praise for the game’s distinctly Lovecraftian atmosphere, mesmerizing audio and visual design, as well as the RPG-investigation mechanics that allow players to discover clues, draw conclusions, question locals, and survive the island’s cosmic horrors.

In Call of Cthulhu, nothing is as it seems. Terrible creatures, conspiracies and cults await on Darkwater Island, lining the path to the horrifying truth behind the island. Pierce’s mind will suffer – solving the case will bring him to brink of insanity, to a place where death may appear the most favorable outcome. The player’s senses will be challenged to the point of questioning whether everything and everyone is real or illusory. Creeping shadows hide lurking figures… and all the while, the Great Dreamer prepares for his awakening.

Call of Cthulhu releases for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on October 30. Digital and retail pre-orders are available on PC and consoles.

October 17, 2018 – It’s time to get spooky — Update 0.7.10, AKA, “The Halloween Update” for World of Warships is available today. The Port looks…slightly different; evil forces have gone nautical, so it’s up to players to save the seas from this omnipresent danger.

Operation “Saving Transylvania” is available from today, with operation “Sunray in the Darkness” to follow next week. The former sees players accompanying and escorting the ship Transylvania to safety from the Forces of Darkness and taking down the most sinister seafaring ship, the Rasputin! Following on the theme of banishing threatening forces from our naval world, “Sunray in the Darkness” sees all Commanders teaming up to destroy a sinister portal that’s allowing evil into our world. Work together to protect the magical security towers, as they power up and close down the portal!

Two weeks later a third mission “Terror of the Deep” will unlock — bringing with it one of the most requested and anticipated features in World of Warships history: submarines.

Need more ghoulish fun? The Halloween update also adds a new line of nine British and Royal Navy destroyers that are ready to join your fleet, and if that’s not enough, the game has added a new commander — real-world Hockey great, Alexander Ovechkin!

The hockey legend will be available for US and Soviet vessels but also have two special variants: one will be focused on the Halloween event and the other is the first dual-nation commander in World of Warships, meaning he can freely swap between US and Soviet ships.

Helsinki, Finland / Vienna, Austria, October 17, 2018: THQ Nordic and Bugbear Entertainment hereby announce that the release of Wreckfest on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One series devices (including Xbox One X) will be delayed. The release of the game will therefore be postponed from November 20, 2018 to 2019.

Anti-bullshit quote: “Wreckfest for consoles will only be released as soon as we love playing it. After the fantastic release on PC, the benchmark for the console release is much higher. At this moment, the team needs more time to polish the multiplayer part, as well as the overall performance on the game to bring it up to par with the experience on PC. We are sorry for keeping fans waiting longer because of this. However, we already have compensation in the form of further vehicles, including a special crazy vehicle, in the works for consoles. ” – says Roger Joswig, Senior Producer at THQ Nordic.
