New York, NY – July 17th, 2014 – Marvel is excited to announce that beginning in November 2014, the title of Captain America will be passed to Sam Wilson, The Falcon, in the pages of All-New Captain America #1 by series writer Rick Remender (Captain America, Uncanny Avengers) and series artist Stuart Immonen (All-New X-Men).
Announced on “The Colbert Report” by Joe Quesada, “Sam Wilson…The Falcon, is the new Captain America.”
Addressing how Sam Wilson will follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, Steve Rogers, Remender says, “Sam wants to lead by example. To help people see their own selfishness and to turn it around. To build better communities, to never forget the little guy.” Remender continues, “Sam follows his heart and his belief in what the American dream means and how it belongs to everyone.”
The question remains: what happens with the original Captain America, Steve Rogers? Executive Editor Tom Brevoort says, “Steve’s spirit is as willing as ever, but his body is no longer up to the task of being Captain America. So he’ll employ his skills as the new Cap’s remote strategic advisor, running Cap’s missions from his headquarters in Avengers Mansion and providing Sam with technical support and field information from a distance. He’ll also tutor Sam in how to throw the shield, a skill that’s deceptively difficult for the new Cap to master. So Steve will continue to be a vital part of the series moving ahead.”
For more details on All-New Captain America, visit Marvel.com for their interview with Rick Remender and Tom Brevoort.
All-New Captain America #1 will be available this November in all local comic book retailers and available in the Marvel Digital Comics Store.

Hamburg, 17/07/2014 – Today, gamigo AG and Ubisoft announced the signing of a new partnership agreement. This partnership will include the integration of Ubisoft’s online games in the gamigo portal gamigo.com, as well as the marketing of these games by gamigo AG.
Ubisoft’s multiplayer online games are close to getting integrated directly into gamigo.com, allowing registered gamigo users to play these titles for free. Revenue will be generated via the sale of digital items in the game. The proceeds will then be distributed among Ubisoft and gamigo. This cooperative effort will begin with the titles “Anno Online” and “The Settlers Online” from Blue Byte, an Ubisoft studio.
“We very much look forward to working together with gamigo in future. This partnership is an entirely new model, for which we have high expectations,” says Geoffroy Sardin, Sales and marketing VP at Ubisoft. “Thanks to the great selection and wide array of choices in the marketing of online games, as well as the substantial number of potential customers in this sector, gamigo AG is an ideal partner for us.”
Simultaneously the games portal gamigo.com will also be unveiling a renewed, modern and clear layout. In addition, all registered users can — as may all new users — also look forward to considerably improved and in some cases entirely new functions. gamigo is already working closely with numerous publishers and developers to successfully integrate their games into its games portal. These include Shanda Games (Dragon Nest), Changyou (General War), Studio100 (Vicky Online) and Whitemoon (Taern – Blut. Tod. Vergeltung.), Infernum (Dragon’s Prophet) and now Ubisoft as well.
In 2014, gamigo will continue to steadily expand its comprehensive portfolio with outstanding multiplayer online games. The focus here is primarily on the target group of core and light core gamers from 16 to 40 years of age.
With its new user-friendly design and simple navigation, the new portal at www.gamigo.com is always worth a visit.
