Men of War II Launch Date Trailer

Fulqrum Publishing and Ukrainian studio Best Way are excited to announce that their highly anticipated RTS title Men of War II releases on May 15, 2024 on PC. A date long-term fans may appreciate, as this marks the 10th anniversary since the full release of Men of War: Assault Squad 2.

Following a number of public playtests last year, the team at Best Way opted to spend extra development time to incorporate feedback from the community. The fans will be able to enjoy the fruits of this extra labor at launch, as the game has received numerous technical improvements and bug fixes, as well as balancing and various upgrades to audio-visual quality since the last Open Beta.

Men of War II will launch with three playable nations – the Soviets, Americans and the Third Reich – each with their own narrative campaign, as well as two further Historical campaigns, a dynamic Conquest campaign and a skirmish-like Raid mode. All of the single-player content can also be played in co-op with up to five players, and the game offers extensive PvP and PvE multiplayer options, including ranked match-making for all three battle setups (Battalions, Combined Arms and Classic Mode).

The new chapter in the evolution of the top-rated RTS franchise provides a World War II real-time strategy experience like never before with an unprecedented number of units with different specialisations to command, unyielding attention to historical fidelity, advanced enemy AI, new levels of visual and audio excellence; and with a plethora of customisable gameplay options and modes for single-player as well as PvP and co-op multiplayer, Men of War II appeals to both the hardcore RTS aficionado and the more casual fan alike.

Men of War II will be available for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and other digital stores on May 15, 2024, retailing for $44.99 USD / £37.99 GBP / €44.99 EUR.

SQUAD Update 7.3 Brings New Improvements

Today, Offworld has launched Update 7.3 for its 50v50 military FPS Squad, introducing a host of improvements to resolve prevalent technical issues and further refine previously redesigned UI and gameplay. The functionality of the Skip Faction option of the Map and Faction voting system has now been optimized, while the Team Select page has been updated to reflect the aesthetic of the new user interface. Gun sway misalignment has been drastically reduced for all iron sights on rifles, pistols, automatic rifles, machine guns, and submachine guns: movement no longer creates as drastic of a gun sway effect as before, allowing for smooth, unobstructed sightlines. Update 7.3 also introduces a new weapon skins pack, a new emotes pack, and a collection of other quality-of-life improvements. The release notes can be read in their entirety on the game’s official website.

To mark the release of Update 7.3, Offworld has made Squad available on Steam at a special 60% off discount—the highest in the game’s history—on offer until April 22nd. Players can choose to bundle the discounted game with the official soundtrack or its WWII FPS spinoff Squad 44.

Squad is a 100-player combined-arms first-person shooter emphasizing combat realism through communication and team play, emphasizing strong squad cohesion mechanics and larger-scale coordination, tactics, and planning.

No Rest for the Wicked Launch Trailer

Private Division, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Moon Studios are proud to announce that No Rest for the Wicked is now available on PC (via Steam) Early Access for an introductory price of $35.99* on Steam and the Private Division Store.

Once purchased on Steam, No Rest for the Wicked is also playable by streaming the game via the NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming service (separate membership and sign-up required) — giving gamers instant access to GeForce PC performance on compatible PCs, Macs, SHIELD TVs, Android and iOS devices or Chromebooks without any downloads. Learn more about NVIDIA GeForce NOW here.

No Rest for the Wicked is a mature, precision Action Role-Playing Game (ARPG). The game features brutal combat, a richly detailed world, item crafting, and a customization system that enables your character to create unique equipment and housing with the help of your collection of artisans. No Rest for the Wicked features a deep plot supported by a rich cast of characters, all wrapped up in Moon’s signature visual style that is as beautiful as an oil painting. The game is Moon’s bold foray into the genre after successfully launching two critically acclaimed, multiple award-winning games – Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

No Rest for the Wicked’s launch trailer unveils the unique, painterly world of the game, where precise strikes and deadly moves drench the intricate game world in crimson hues, inviting players into a thrilling ARPG experience like no other. Check out Wicked’s Early Access Launch Trailer here.

“No Rest for the Wicked has been a wild ride for all of us at Moon Studios, and we’re stoked to finally share it with the world through our Early Access launch,” said Thomas Mahler, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Moon Studios. “As hardcore Action RPG fans ourselves, this project is super-close to our hearts. We’re all about pushing the genre’s limits and giving players an unforgettable experience like no other. We’re not just making another Action RPG with No Rest for the Wicked. We’re aiming to redefine the genre and create something truly unique and unforgettable. We’re pushing the boundaries and challenging ourselves to deliver an experience like no other.”

With No Rest for the Wicked’s precision-based battle system, Moon is redefining the art of combat. In No Rest for the Wicked, combat is animation-driven, direct, and tactile, empowering skilled players to execute visceral strikes and lethal manoeuvres. This innovative system promises players a deeply gratifying gameplay experience, distinguishing itself from conventional isometric ARPGs by emphasising skill and timing over simple ‘button-mashing’.

Moreover, combat serves as the catalyst for players to shape their unique class identities. Each weapon boasts its own distinctive move set and can be tailored further with runes, upgrades, and more. Players are not constrained by rigid class structures but are instead offered the freedom to define characters from a rich assortment of gear, enhancements, modifiers, and special abilities.

“Over the past six years, we’ve poured our hearts and souls into creating a next level ARPG experience, one that we hope will push the genre forward,” said Gennadiy Korol, Co-Founder, Technology, and Production Director at Moon Studios. “The Early Access launch of No Rest for the Wicked is a monumental achievement for our team and it marks a new chapter in our company’s history on the road towards 1.0. We thrive on seeing everyone’s reactions and we are committed to this project for the long run. Our team will be meticulously studying and reviewing player feedback as we continue to expand, refine, and perfect the game.”

The painterly art direction and visceral combat of No Rest for the Wicked are elevated by a mature, dark narrative. Set in the year 841, the kingdom faces a crucial moment with the passing of King Harol Bolein, sparking a catastrophic conflict as the peaceful transition of power descends into chaos. Amidst this political turmoil, a deadly plague resurfaces on the remote island of Sacra, corrupting both the land and its denizens. Players are thrust into the fray, wielding their weapons against grotesque beasts and the invading forces of the kingdom, navigating a turbulent atmosphere where every direction pulls them deeper into the maelstrom of chaos.

“What Moon Studios has accomplished with the Early Access launch of No Rest for the Wicked is truly remarkable, showcasing artistic and technical excellence,” said Paul Berry, Lead Producer for No Rest of the Wicked. “Private Division is delighted to collaborate with the exceptionally talented team at Moon Studios to further innovate the ARPG genre and embark on this game’s exciting journey.”

No Rest for the Wicked is poised for significant content expansions leading up to its 1.0 release. The game’s first update will introduce an innovative multiplayer experience, allowing players to team up together and compete against one another in PvP combat. The game’s second update will introduce a major expansion to the game’s world, featuring new enemies and storylines, with much more new content to follow thereafter. Stay tuned as No Rest for the Wicked continues to expand with exciting updates on the horizon.

No Rest for the Wicked is in development and launches in Early Access on Steam today, April 18, 2024. A full release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC is planned for some time after Early Access. No Rest for the Wicked is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

DJI Unveils Power Series Power Stations

DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and innovative camera technology, today introduces the Power 1000 & Power 500, portable power stations. Drawing on over a decade’s worth of battery research and development, the two devices can be fully charged in just 70 minutes, fast charge DJI drone batteries and meet the power demands of common household appliances.

“Over the past several years we’ve seen travelers and content creators around the world increasingly turn to DJI drones and handheld cameras, to capture and share their experiences. These users have a demand for fast charging, worry-free, sustainable power consumption and today we’re glad we can address this with the new DJI portable power stations.” said Christina Zhang, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at DJI.

“Whether consumer, professional, enterprise or agricultural, DJI has a long history in battery research and development. Batteries are paramount to the user experience with battery life and charging efficiency, central to user needs. We hope that the DJI Power series can further improve the outdoor experience by eliminating power consumption anxiety and, in the home, by being on hand as a home backup to tackle power outage issues.”

Two Sizes to Power Your World

The DJI Power 1000 has a battery capacity of 1024 Wh and weighs 13kg with the smaller, compact DJI Power 500 at 512 Wh and weighing 7.3kg; they can provide maximum power outputs of 2200W1 and 1000W1 respectively. Both units can be fully charged in just 70 minutes1 or, if you’re in a rush to get out, charged to 80% in just 50 minutes1.

Be Back up in the Air in Around 30 Minutes

With the help of separately-sold charging cables, DJI drone users can fast charge selected DJI drone batteries with the DJI Power SDC super-fast charge function; and be up in the air within approximately 30 minutes (from 10% to 95%). Using just three drone batteries and a DJI Power portable power station, creators can enjoy a full day of flight and content capture, without power concerns getting in the way of creativity.

Power Socket, Solar or Car; the Choice is Yours

When it comes to recharging the portable power stations, users can choose the best method that works for them. Whether that’s out on the road or at home, the most appropriate recharging method can be selected from:

Screen Shot 2024-04-17 at 10.37.44 PM

Safety as Standard

From the body structure and cell chemistry to the system software, safety comes first at all times.

Quiet and Functional

During recharging, the Power 1000 is quieter than most household refrigerators at 23 dB1. Even in environments with little noise, there is very minimal noise disturbance.

Both devices support the fast charge protocol (Power 1000: PD 3.1, Power 500: PD 3.0), ensuring efficient power output and the Power 500’s dual 100W USB-C two-way ports1 can provide separate power supplies to two devices such as cameras, phones and laptops. For those looking for even more power, the Power 1000’s two 140W USB-C output ports1 can fast charge popular, powerful computers.

Paradox Interactive Launches Fast-Paced Sci-Fi Strategy Game Nexus 5X on PC

Paradox Interactive and Whatboy Games have today launched the fast-paced sci-fi strategy game Nexus 5X for PC via Steam. Combining the competitive social strategy of tabletop games with the tactical complexity of the 4X genre, Nexus 5X offers a sci-fi strategy experience that’s playable from start to finish in around 60 minutes, making Nexus 5X the world’s first 5X game: Explore, Exploit, Expand, Exterminate, EXPRESS!

Nexus 5X takes the core pillars of the 4X genre – deep strategy, tense diplomatic drama, and epic military encounters – and distills them into a fast-paced competitive format that is perfect for short-run sessions, allowing groups of up to eight players to complete a full playthrough together in around an hour.

“We’re creating an entirely new extension to the 4X genre with Nexus 5X. By reducing the play-time down to about one hour, we are opening the door to multiplayer in the 4X genre in a way that has never fitted neatly in the 4X space,” said Dax Ginn, Studio Director at Whatboy Games. “4X games are well known for predominantly being time-demanding single-player experiences, whereas Nexus 5X still delivers all of the strategic depth of the genre but in a time-frame that allows gamers to play together on an equal footing.”

Following a successful release onto Steam Early Access on Dec. 12, 2023, as Stellaris Nexus, Nexus 5X launches with Very Positive Steam reviews, a new name and eleven distinct factions, each offering their own unique strengths and play styles as players attempt to conquer the throne-world of Nexus and emerge victorious as the new Galactic Emperor.

Nexus 5X features:

  • An Hour of Power: Nothing beats the thrill of a deep strategy board game session with friends, and with Nexus 5X, players can play not just one, but multiple sessions during a game night, where “One More Turn” becomes “One More Game!”
  • Social Strategy: Choose from unique factions and leaders and play alone or in turn-based multiplayer for 2-8 players. Play with friends or brave the Nexus online in skill-based matchmaking. Form unlikely alliances, execute bitter betrayals, or quietly plot from the shadows to ascend victorious to the Galactic Throne, all in around 60 minutes.
  • Diplomacy or “Diplomacy”: Starting from the safe haven of their home world, players can rapidly expand their reach across the galaxy to explore and occupy new systems, eventually taking control of the throne-world of Nexus. Military conflict and diplomatic dealings are available as players expand and explore, but so is the power struggle that plays out in the Galactic Council, as rival empires exert their influence to cast votes in favor of new titles and resolutions, aiming to empower their faction or advance their immediate strategic objectives.
  • Unique Factions & Leaders: For role-players who want to immerse themselves in the lore-rich Stellaris universe, or for ‘by-the-numbers’ strategists, Nexus 5X lets you select from factions and leaders that alter the approach of each match, offering a range of play styles and ways to gain the upper-hand over opponents.

Nexus 5X is available now for PC on Steam, priced at $14.99 / £12.99 / €14.99. Join the Nexus 5X Discord for the latest news and community discussion about the game.
