Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and BioWare announced today that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is now available for PlayStation®5 (also enhanced for PS5 Pro), Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam (Steam Deck Verified), EA app and Epic Games Store. This bold, heroic adventure is built to deliver on what the series is best known for: rich storytelling, fantasy worldbuilding, companions & fellowship, and a world where you matter. The next installment in BioWare’s beloved franchise has captivated critics worldwide, with outlets such as IGN and GamesRadar+ proclaiming it “deserves its place in the RPG pantheon” and is “A true return to RPG form for BioWare” in their 9/10 and 4.5/5 reviews.

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Solas, the Dread Wolf, wants to tear down the Veil that separates Thedas from the world of demons, restoring his people’s immortality and glory – even at the cost of countless lives. But his ritual goes awry, and his worst fears are realized, as two of his most ancient and powerful adversaries are released. Players will step into the role of Rook, a fully-customizable protagonist who must rise up and unite their companions to stop these two powerful deities on a journey that will span across Thedas’ bustling cities, lush tropics, boreal forests, fettered swamps and deepest depths.

“On behalf of everyone at BioWare, I want to thank you for joining us on our latest adventure,” said Gary McKay, Vice President/General Manager, BioWare; Executive Producer, Dragon Age: The Veilguard. “After years of careful planning, countless hours of expert work, and innumerable design decisions, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is ready. We are so proud of this achievement and excited to see its impact on our worldwide community of fans, without whom none of this would be possible. We hope you have just as much fun in your own Rook adventure as we did creating it.”

Dragon Age: The Veilguard offers 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio support, uncapped PC frame rates and a suite of Ray Tracing features. Additionally, you’ll be able to accelerate performance with DLSS 3, make gameplay even more responsive with Reflex, and enhance image quality and immersion with ray-traced reflections and ambient occlusion. Dragon Age: The Veilguard will also be available to play in “Ultimate” quality via NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and specifically enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro. Additionally, this will be the first EA title to offer HDR10+ GAMING functionality that delivers outstanding high dynamic range performance automatically when enabled on PCs with compatible NVIDIA graphic cards and HDR10+ GAMING certified displays.

The title builds upon the pillars the iconic series is best known for, delivering a bold and heroic adventure guided by rich storytelling, fluid and strategic combat, companions and fellowship, and choices that matter. Key experiential elements include:

Fellowship: Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s brand new companions come alive with some of the most compelling individual storylines in Dragon Age history. Expansive and dynamic stories navigate love, loss and complex choices that will affect your relationships and the fate of each member of the Veilguard. New companions like the Veil Jumper Bellara, the necromancer Emmrich, and the private detective Neve, come from iconic factions in Dragon Age lore, possessing individual skill trees and specialized gear for advanced team progression. You’ll see familiar faces, too, such as the archer Lace Harding who returns to the series as a full time companion.
Choice and Consequences: Dragon Age: The Veilguard builds on the series’ deep role-playing roots, providing extraordinary storytelling and worldbuilding, deep personalities for each companion, meaningful choices and impactful cinematic moments. The bonds you create and the relationships you forge will be affected by your choices made throughout your journey.
A Crafted Experience: As a character-driven RPG, Dragon Age: The Veilguard delivers a crafted experience that pays homage to BioWare’s history of storytelling. The Lighthouse provides a central place where you can rest, learn more about the world through conversations, while the Crossroads allows you to traverse to separate explorable regions of the world with your companions. You’ll experience more of Thedas than ever before as your story unfolds across meticulously crafted biomes and beautiful regions including Rivain, Weisshaupt, Arlathan, Minrathous, the Deep Roads and more, each inviting you to delve deeper into the narrative and uncover the mysteries of the land.
Fluid, Customizable Combat: Immersive combat blends fluid moment-to-moment controls with tactical decision-making. Players can fully customize their experience to fit their playstyle with diverse skill trees among three different classes – Warrior, Mage and Rogue – each with unique abilities and specializations. Choose two companions to join you on your quests and unleash powerful team combos that can change the tide of any battle. Make strategic choices and direct your allies to fight, heal or stay out of the fray with the newly-added ability wheel.
Be the Leader You Want To Be: Dragon Age: The Veilguard features a robust character creation system that allows you to be the leader you want to be with a vast range of customization. BioWare has created the most comprehensive character creator in Dragon Age yet to make this story truly your own.

Two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer and GRAMMY® Award winner Lorne Balfe co-composed the Official Soundtrack (OST) for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which officially releases on November 1st via Lakeshore Records.

[REDACTED] Launch Trailer

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Striking Distance Studios and KRAFTON, Inc. are proud to unleash [REDACTED] onto the world today. This isn’t just another sci-fi roguelike—this is a no-holds-barred, action-packed, punk rock dungeon crawl set in the brutal halls of Black Iron Prison, the state-of-the-art penitentiary from The Callisto Protocol. Available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Steam, and Epic Games Store, [REDACTED] throws you into the chaos where death isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning.

The goal: make it to the last escape pod alive. But it won’t be a cakewalk as you survive hordes of infected inmates, dodge security systems that want you dead, and outsmart rival survivors who are gunning for you. You’re not some overpowered hero — you’re a security guard just trying to make it out alive. But with an arsenal of deadly weapons, suits, upgrades, and wild experiments at your disposal, you might just stand a chance… or you’ll die trying (again).

FIGHT, DIE, ADAPT: Each death is a learning experience. Starting fresh each run, build up your loadout with powerful experiments, weapon schematics, and buffs to battle through Black Iron. When you die (and you will die), use your hard-earned loot to purchase new permanent weapons, suits, and skills. Get stronger, experiment with your strategy, and get out!
FIGHT YOUR LAST CORPSE: When you die, you leave more than a coverall-clad carcass behind. Defeat the reanimated corpse of the last guard to succumb to the prison’s dangers to earn a powerful experiment. But beware, it’s not going to be an easy fight. The semi-alive guard has the same loadout they had when they met their untimely end and a few extra tricks up its sleeve to keep things spicy.
ROUT YOUR RIVALS: You are not the only person to survive the initial outbreak or willing to use a bit of violence to get to the last escape pod. Some prisoners – and even your correctional service colleagues – are just as eager to escape. They will make escaping harder by attacking you remotely or challenging you to a one-on-one duel. Race them, attack them back remotely, and fight them to the death to make it out alive.
DO OR DIE: Let’s say you made the perfect build, battled through all the bosses, ran through rivals, killed your corpse, and are now standing in front of that last escape pod. Sure, you could leave it all behind for the sweet taste of freedom. Or you can risk it all for one last hardcore do-or-die run back through the prison! Fail and you lose everything. But if you succeed, you’ll unlock new powerful permanent gear!
FUTURE PUNK: Immerse yourself in a world dripping with attitude, where vibrant, graphic-novel visuals and a 180bpm arcade-punk soundtrack by Mutato Muzika set the pace for relentless action. The game’s sharp, irreverent style injects a unique energy into every moment of [REDACTED]’s sci-fi chaos.

CORSAIR^® (Nasdaq: CRSR) is excited to infuse its MGX magnetic switch technology into a competitive tenkeyless form-factor with the all-new K70 PRO TKL keyboard. Replete with sought-after features such as FlashTap and Rapid Trigger, the K70 PRO TKL is ready to dominate the competitive gaming scene.

The K70 PRO TKL debuts all-new CORSAIR MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switches that harness Hall-effect sensors for ultra-fast magnetic activation. The K70 PRO TKL features Rapid Trigger, which accelerates actions by registering and resetting keys instantly, outpacing even the best mechanical switches. Combined with the ability to customize actuation distance from an ultra-sensitive 0.1mm to a deep 4.0mm*, the K70 PRO TKL adapts to every playstyle.

The K70 PRO TKL also offers FlashTap as an option. A brand new SOCD system that enables users to perform esports-grade character movement, FlashTap revolutionizes in-game movement, with modes that prioritize the first or last key pressed. Used in conjunction with Rapid Trigger, FlashTap makes rapid-strafing and move-mirroring in games faster than ever before.

Users can instantly switch from casual to pro with Game Mode. In one button, settings optimize, easily mispressed keys lock, RGB lighting turns static, and Rapid Trigger activates for instant input registration.

When milliseconds matter, CORSAIR AXON hyper-processing technology keeps the K70 PRO TKL from losing time to input lag or delay, putting those critical moments back into players’ hands for match-deciding moves. The wired-only K70 PRO TKL boasts 8,000Hz hyper-polling to register keypresses in just one eighth of a millisecond.

CORSAIR continues to innovate by bringing its best-in-class multi-sensory experience to the K70 PRO TKL. Subtle enough for distraction-free gaming, pre-lubricated MGX Hyperdrive switches have a sturdy double-rail structure that makes every keypress consistent and wobble-free. Two layers of premium sound-dampening foam reduce unwanted noise for softened acoustics that are extra rich and satisfying.

“Today’s top players demand not only the fastest gaming gear available, but also a keyboard that fits their setup and enhances their play,” said Thi La, President and COO at CORSAIR. “The K70 PRO TKL combines proprietary hardware with powerful iCUE software, which serves as the nucleus for all our products. Competitive gamers now have the ability to customize and control their gaming experience in a way only CORSAIR can provide.”

Speed goes by many names: Hall effect switches, Rapid Trigger, 8,000Hz hyper-polling, FlashTap… But we call it the K70 PRO TKL.

*The recommended range for accuracy is 0.4-3.6mm.

Availability, Warranty, and Pricing

The CORSAIR K70 PRO TKL gaming keyboard is available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized online retailers and distributors.

K70 PRO TKL is backed by a 2-year warranty, alongside the CORSAIR worldwide customer service and technical support network.

Leading gaming accessories maker Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR) today unveiled another groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind controller, the Turtle Beach® Stealth™ Pivot. This new, premium smart controller works both wirelessly and in wired mode for Windows 10/11 PCs, and is Designed for Xbox and compatible with Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One as an advanced wired controller. The Stealth Pivot also features Bluetooth® 5.2 to connect with compatible Android devices and smart TVs. The Stealth Pivot’s standout feature is the unique, rotating thumbstick and button control modules that deliver simple, precise, and enhanced gameplay for any game type. One layout provides traditional PC & Xbox gamepad controls, and the modules can be easily rotated and locked back into place to produce a stick and button layout more suitable for fighting games. The Stealth Pivot is crafted from premium materials, including built-in Hall Effect sensors in the rotating control modules, and gamers can also explore an impressive and extensive list of customization options.

The Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot controller launches November 26, 2024, and is available for pre-order at www.turtlebeach.com and participating retailers worldwide for $129.99/£119.99/€129.99 MSRP.

“Turtle Beach’s Stealth Pivot delivers a new level of innovation in controllers by giving gamers the ability to play more of their favorite games using one controller,” said Cris Keirn, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “The Stealth Pivot’s unique rotating modules that switch between traditional, fighting game, FPS, and MMO button and stick layouts is an industry-first, and its premium design and compatibility with PC, Xbox and via Bluetooth make it a great controller for playing more games on more platforms.”

The Stealth Pivot Wireless Smart Controller is designed for revolutionary gameplay. The Stealth Pivot’s rotating button and stick modules quickly switch between core button layouts including FPS, action, and racing games on one side, and revolved layouts for fighting and retro games on the other side. Gamers can play wirelessly and lag-free on PC using the 2.4GHz wireless transmitter, as well as in wired mode for PC and on Xbox consoles using the included USB cable. Gamers can also connect to compatible Android devices and smart TVs via Bluetooth 5.2.

Contactless Hall Effect AntiDrift™ thumbsticks allow the Stealth Pivot to provide high-resolution, smooth control without drift, while adjustable trigger stops can be modified on-the-fly to suit the game being played – shorter hair trigger locks for faster FPS games or set to full travel for precise throttle and brake control when playing racing games. There are also four mappable microswitch buttons and up to five onboard profiles, allowing gamers to set the Stealth Pivot to their exact preferences per game.

For split-second in-game adjustments, the Stealth Pivot has a Quick-Slide Adjustment Switch located at its center. This switch has a return-to-center toggle and customizable RGB lighting, all of which can be mapped to a variety of functions. The Stealth Pivot’s D-pad can also be set to classic digital input, or analog thumbstick response and tuned for fast actuation and reset, which is ideal for dishing out critical combos or completing complicated platform jumps. Turtle Beach’s Pro-Aim™ Focus Mode, which tunes thumbstick sensitivity for enhanced long-range accuracy, is also available as a preset for any of the four mappable buttons.

Dual rumble motors in the Stealth Pivot’s handles and triggers provide immersive vibration feedback and are fully adjustable via the Connected Command Display. A long-lasting 20-hour wireless battery life keeps PC gamers locked in the action, and the included USB cable supports play-and-charge capability when battery life runs out. The USB cable is required for use with Xbox consoles. And no Turtle Beach controller would be complete without offering the ability to connect any wired 3.5mm headset to get a suite of critical Turtle Beach gaming audio features, including EQ presets, Superhuman Hearing®, game and chat volume mix, and more.
