STOCKHOLM January 28, 2016. Today Fatshark announced what might be one of the easiest to remember DLC titles around – SCHLUESSELSCHLOSS.
In 2015 Fatshark gave the world the catchy new title Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide. Now Fatshark has decided to add something extra to the game and at the same time introduce what may well be the strangest DLC name ever. SCHLUESSELSCHLOSS is a brand new location for the soon to be released – and totally free – new Vermintide game mode Last Stand.
“The Heroes will face unlimited numbers of Skaven with only one objective in mind – and it’s not to buy the players dinner,” says Fatshark CEO Martin Wahlund. “Last Stand is a new game mode that brings all the rats to the yard in one free level. Hordes of Skaven will try to eliminate the heroes one after the other. How many rounds can you handle?”
The Last Stand DLC will include one free level set in Ubersreik. If you want to venture outside the walls of Ubersreik, pick up the SCHLUESSELSCHLOSS DLC and take it to the woods. Anyone that buys SCHLUESSELSCHLOSS will be able to invite other players that don’t own the DLC to join them against the Skaven hordes.
If you have a hard time remembering SCHLUESSELSCHLOSS, then help Fatshark give SCHLUESSELSCHLOSS a nickname via www.vermintide.com/namenick. The 100 best suggestions will get the map for free.

Oslo, Norway – January 28th, 2016 – “I walk in a land of desperation. A wasteland of the exiled and the outcast. Where the broken strive to build and the weak are crushed while the strong survive.”
These are the words of Conan the Barbarian as he strides across a desert wasteland, skulls and bones crushing beneath is sandaled feet, in the brand new cinematic trailer released today announcing Funcom’s new game ‘CONAN EXILES‘. Available on PC in Early Access this summer, with a full launch on both PC and console to follow, ‘CONAN EXILES‘ challenges players to survive, build and dominate in the brutal world of the greatest fantasy hero of all time: Conan the Barbarian.
“There is no better setting for an open-world survival game than the world of Conan,” said Joel Bylos, creative director at Funcom. “Hyboria is a harsh and unforgiving land where only the strongest can survive while the weak are swiftly cut down. Whether it is hunting animals for food, fighting monsters and other players, or building entire settlements, we want to make sure players feel like they are really fighting to survive and prosper in the most brutal fantasy world ever.”
‘CONAN EXILES’ is first and foremost a multiplayer game that can be enjoyed on both private and public servers, but it will also feature a single-player mode.
You are an exile, one of thousands cast out to fend for themselves in a barbaric wasteland swept in sandstorms and besieged by enemies on every side. Grow crops or hunt animals for food. Harvest resources to build weapons and tools. Build a shelter to survive. Ride across a vast world and explore alone, or band together with other players to build entire settlements and fortified strongholds. Unleash your fury in savage, fast-paced combat and execute bloody and bone-crushing attacks that will see heads rolling and limbs flying. Fight other players to dominate the exiled lands, and even call upon the wrath of the heavens to aid you by sacrificing enemy players on the alters of the gods.
“What Funcom is doing with ‘CONAN EXILES’ is capturing the essence of Conan and his world,” said Fredrik Malmberg, CEO of Conan Properties. “The fight for survival in Conan’s savage world has been chronicled in comics, movies, and novels, and now you too will get to experience the same struggle to achieve domination over the exiled lands.”

Plymouth, MI. – January 27, 2016 – Today, Stardock announced that the first expansion to its popular 4X space strategy game Galactic Civilizations III is in development and will launch next month. Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries will add an all-new campaign, Galactic Bazaars, new races, and the ability to recruit elite units with special abilities and more.
In Mercenaries, players will be able to visit new Intergalactic Bazaars, where they can hire mercenaries to assist in expanding across the galaxy. With over 70 unique mercenary ships and multiple Bazaars to discover on each map, Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries offers hours of unique gameplay.
“Each mercenary sets their own hiring price in terms of money and resource,” said Paul Boyer, Lead Designer of Galactic Civilizations III. “Because there are a finite number of mercenaries, each civilization is competing for their services. When one is hired by one civilization, it is no longer available to the others.”
Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries also includes two new factions: the Arceans and the Torians. The Arceans are an ancient and honorable civilization of warriors and the Torians are an aquatic species seeking to escape the slavery of the Drengin. Both races come with new traits, abilities, and tech trees. The Torians are also the subject of a new campaign available within the expansion.
The campaign for Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries centers on the peaceful Torian race who have long been enslaved and farmed for their meat by the cruel Drengin. To free the Torians, players will need to explore and discover mercenaries, then hire them to aid in escaping from their oppressors. Players will strive to liberate the Torians and help them rebuild their shattered civilization while staying out of reach of the Drengin.
Along with the Mercenaries expansion, Stardock is releasing the v1.6 update to the base game, which is a free update for all Galactic Civilizations III game owners. Improvements include more detailed match results, AI improvements, visual updates and balance improvements.
Galactic Civilizations III: Mercenaries release on February 18, 2016 and will cost $19.99.

January 27, 2016 – Most of the factions in the universe have always perceived Polaris as a lifeless and mundane part of the galaxy. But treasures are usually well hidden, and only the few who are able to see through mysteries and shadows can reach them.
Leading the aggressive Drills, the mystic Magellans or another of the 9 playable races, players will have to quickly learn the cultural codes of the sector if they want to survive in such explosive environment. An ambassador from another empire knocks at your door offering a non-aggression treaty? He’s certainly gaining time because his new battleship prototype is still in the orbital shipyard. Your latest spy report indicates that a specific faction has not found any technologies over the past few years? Keep an eye on them, because they are certainly investing massively in fundamental science research and you may want to have them on your side in a few decades. There is no true friendship among the stars and players are likely to understand this, too late…
This ambitious 4X space strategy game will be available on March 22. DeveloperSoftWarWare is currently putting the finishing touches to Polaris Sector, focusing on the balancing between the factions and the optimization of the game mechanics.
