June 6th, 2013 — Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive are pleased to offer you a first video teaser making official Blood Bowl 2, that has been secretly under development for a year at Cyanide Studio! Blood Bowl 2 is the sequel of Blood Bowl, the video game adaptation of Games Workshop’s boardgame that twists American football with a fantasy universe inspired by Warhammer, all in a bloody and explosive cocktail of turn-based strategy. Discover now the very first video of Blood Bowl 2, which will be presented in much more detail over the coming months!

This short video is an introduction to the famous and legendary duo of fan-favorite commentators: Jim Johnson the Vampire, and Bob Bifford the Ogre ex-star player of Blood Bowl! We have already had the pleasure of listening to their corrosively ironic commentaries during the first Blood Bowl video game’s matches, but fans will be delighted to learn that these two colorful characters will make a noteworthy return in Blood Bowl 2, where they will take a particularly important place!

In Blood Bowl 2, Jim & Bob will be with us, flesh and blood, throughout the game. They will be modelled, and animated in their Cabalvision studio that will be the main interface for the game! The whole game will be presented in a Cabalvision theme – the official Blood Bowl TV! – where Jim & Bob will guide players, comment their decisions and will even interview key star players appearing in the huge campaign mode. Of course, they will also grace us with their wild commentaries during the matches!

Hamburg, June 5, 2013. Online games publisher InnoGames debuts the latest projects in its cross-platform gaming approach at E3 in Los Angeles next week. The company plans to unveil a Forge of Empires iPad app, as well smartphone apps (Android and iOS) for Grepolis. Both projects work together with their existing browser counterparts to create a seamless gaming experience – allowing gamers to play with one account on all devices.

InnoGames CEO Hendrik Klindworth is confident that “cross-platform is definitely the future of gaming. It is technically very challenging to offer a perfect gaming experience for desktop browsers, tablets and smartphones at the same time. On the other hand, there is a lot to gain for those who manage to”, he believes. InnoGames has opted for individual technology decisions for each project. The Grepolis apps utilize Adobe Air, while Cocos2D-X is the framework of choice for the iPad version of Forge of Empires. These technologies enable InnoGames to offer an optimal performance and thereby the best gaming experience for users.

The ambitious cross-platform approach is used to expand the player numbers of the original browser-based company further. “Our mobile versions will be able to compete with the best mobile-exclusive games on the market”, Klindworth explains. Before Grepolis and Forge of Empires, InnoGames began this initiative by releasing the classic browser title Tribal Wars on iOS and Android devices. More than 200,000 users per month are using the apps already. The company also has several projects in the works that will be released as cross-platform at launch-time.

InnoGames has developed and published major browser game titles like Forge of Empires, Tribal Wars and The West. With about 100 million registered users, the German company belongs to the biggest developers and publishers of online games.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Forbidden Worlds DLC Released

Oceanic

PLYMOUTH, MI – June 5, 2013 – The popular PC space strategy game, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, from Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment has released its first DLC pack today. “Forbidden Worlds” adds new planet types, planet specialization, technologies, planetary bonuses and additional Steam achievements all for $4.99.

The war between the loyalists and the rebels within the TEC, Advent and Vasari continues within the depths of Trader Space.  Yet, this sector of the galaxy has far more worlds and history than any of the factions are aware. The need to survive forces each to expand into the unknown, discovering worlds of hazard, wealth, risk, and mystery. Most ominously, the Trader factions have been loathe to expand to these worlds due to the dark myths that surround them.

Feature List:

•   Four new planet types to colonize and exploit (Barren, Ferrous, Greenhouse, Oceanic), each created with beautiful high-res textures.

•   New Planet Specialization System:  Dedicate your worlds to either social or industrial output. Devoting your planet to social improvements will increase its population and culture, at the cost of trade income and ship production. Choosing an industrial path will limit your growth and culture, but make your planet a trading and ship building powerhouse.

•   15 new research subjects allow the races to conquer and expand onto the forbidden worlds.

•   Discover 40 new planet bonuses during your exploration of the galaxy, unlocking the dark past of the Sins’ universe.

•   Unlock five new Steam Achievements and display your mastery of forbidden space!

The Forbidden Worlds DLC is available direct, as well as on Steam, GameStop, GamersGate and GameFly.
