Higround Unveils Limited Edition Custom Keyboards

Higround is a studio that is rewriting the narrative for a new generation of gamers. Founded by gamers Kha Lu and Rustin Sotoodeh, Higround aims to broaden the scope and capture a rapidly growing, yet underrepresented side of gaming culture: a zeitgeist of creativity, sophistication, and self-expression – the end goal is to become the of . The term “HYPEGEEK,” an increasingly popular label for a community created by the convergence of video games, fashion, sports, and music and Higround has designed a world for them.

The idea for an elevated gaming accessory brand came from the co-founders’ experience in college, where they were first able to identify a particular type of person in the world of gamers, which they would later dub the HYPEGEEK. A HYPEGEEK is a style-forward and culturally-diverse person who also games, or vice versa. Once they defined it, Lu and Sotoodeh realized this type of gamer was everywhere around them, but not being reflected in the greater culture – yet.
After early success with the launch of E-Coliseum, a gaming company Lu and h started in college to serve as “the world’s first esports gym,” the team began consulting with large brands like Nike and adidas to help them appeal to this emerging demographic. Soon, they recognized an opportunity to create space for and interact with an audience of their own. Thus, Higround was born.

“After having several discussions with the gaming community, we really saw things in a different light. We realized the majority of the products on the market didn’t represent this audience we were so fond of. They’re covered in dripping fashion, but their gaming hardware is basic black or white. We asked ourselves, ‘How can we innovate?’” Lu said. Through modifiable keyboards, graphic keycaps, and accessories, the Higround team embarked on a mission to take gaming to places it had never been before.

Today, Higround is an integral part of overall gaming culture and how it will be defined for years to come. The brand has collaborated with Attack on Titan, Beats by Dre, 100 Thieves, and more on exclusive drops that have all sold in minutes. Through their collaborations with prominent names in fashion, music, and sports and their dedication to improving and innovating the world of HYPEGEEKs, Higround is taking gaming peripherals places it’s never been before.

Click me to make big!

“We’re very happy with what we have accomplished with the Dying Light franchise so far. Moreover, our journey with Dying Light 2 Stay Human has only just begun as we plan to support this game for at least 5 years, with its scope and size matching, if not exceeding, what we have provided our community with during post-launch support for its predecessor. At the same time, our ambition is to introduce a brand new IP that is vastly different from what we have been doing for the past several years. We want to create a fully next-gen experience. A new fantasy epic set in a sprawling open world, fueled by the skills and experience we have gained as a team over the years, infused with new ideas, passion, and creativity. While we cannot share more details about this project now, we’re all truly invested in it and looking forward to showing it to gamers when the time is right.” – said Paweł Marchewka, CEO at Techland

All open positions at Techland, including for the teams working on the unannounced fantasy epic and Dying Light 2 Stay Human, are available here.

Truly remarkable talent is already hard at work on Techland’s new IP, including:

  • Karolina Stachyra – Narrative Director who previously worked with CD Projekt Red on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, plus its DLCs
  • Arkadiusz Borowik – Narrative Lead who previously worked with CD Projekt Red on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, plus its DLCs

In just the last few months, said team has been strengthened by:

  • Mario Maltezos – Creative Director who previously worked with companies like Ubisoft (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time), Warner Bros. (Mad Max), and Microsoft

Bohemai Interactive Unveils Road to Arma 4 with Arma Reforger

Today, Bohemia Interactive invites Arma fans to experience the future of the series with a work-in-progress version of their next release, Arma Reforger. Simultaneously, the Czech-based game company officially confirms the development of the highly anticipated Arma 4 in a new cinematic video recounting the franchise’s most significant milestones.

Arma Reforger, available now on PC (Early Access) and Xbox Series X/S (Game Preview), will showcase the studio’s progress on their new Enfusion engine and offer a glimpse of things to come. Functioning as a creative platform, Arma Reforger will provide multiple tools and services for users to modify and adjust the experience.

As a standalone installment, Arma Reforger serves a platform for players to enjoy the new capabilities of Enfusion as well as to provide valuable feedback for the ongoing development of Arma 4. Besides this, Arma Reforger hopes to empower Bohemia Interactive’s dedicated community of modders with an exciting new suite of integrated, in-house Enfusion tools.

Drawing on the success of Bohemia Interactive’s debut game Arma: Cold War Assault, Arma Reforger returns players to the island of Everon and a familiar fictional 1980’s setting. The terrain itself, part of the fictitious Malden Islands archipelago, has been reimagined and faithfully recreated, with added improvements, such as lakes, ponds, and flowing rivers; each a popular feature request, made possible through Enfusion. The terrain, spanning an impressive 164 km2 area containing 51 km2 of landmass, offers players a stunning environment to discover, replete with dense forests, low-rolling hills, mountains, patchwork fields, and idyllic towns, inspired by the former state of Czechoslovakia and embellished with some necessary overtures towards the nation’s historic French heritage and maritime flavor.

In terms of playable content, Arma Reforger comes with two multiplayer game modes. The first of these is Conflict— a team versus team deployment, where players are compelled to work together in order to capture strategic positions from the enemy. By base-building and completing tasks, combatants can earn battlefield promotions and rise up through the ranks. There are two factions to choose from, American or Soviet, and each comes with its own era-authentic weapons, vehicles, and equipment. There is also a smaller independent force, with unique apparel that community veterans will quickly recognize from the first game in the company’s mil-sim legacy.

The second game mode is a real-time scenario editor, known as Game Master. In this dynamic sandbox, one or more curators take on the role of Game Master, creating responsive combat encounters for other players. Designed with both newcomers and long-standing Arma gamers in mind, this fast-paced, mod-compatible mission-maker ensures playthroughs are different every time.

In addition to all this, Arma Reforger is launching with access to an exclusive, in-game platform for sharing user content, named Workshop. Here, mods generated by PC users can be published for everyone to enjoy, including those playing on console. Furthermore, Bohemia Interactive is supporting the game’s release with Workbench; a software package that provides the community with the very same tools used for development. Any user, with a fair knowledge of C# scripting, should be able to add custom AI behaviors, audio and visual assets, or even completely new gameplay mechanics. Artists too can import their creations using intuitive, streamlined workflows. Essentially, imaginative players will be able to explore Enfusion to its limits and receive a crash course in Arma 4 modding, well ahead of schedule.

Main features of Arma Reforger are:
  • Game Modes
    Take to the battlefield in one of Arma Reforger‘s two multiplayer game modes. Select a side and fight for the island of Everon in Conflict, or edit scenarios in Game Master and manage events as they unfold, guiding players through the chaos of war
  • Multiplatform
    Experience authentic combat on both Xbox and PC, for the first time in the Arma series. Modded content is no longer exclusive to PC players and can be downloaded by console owners from the content creation repository on the Workshop.
  • Multiplayer
    Join other players in the Conflict game mode and fight for the island of Everon across a massive open-world terrain, or create your own scenario as a Game Master in Arma Reforger‘s real-time editor.
  • Reforging Arma
    Arma Reforger is a versatile platform for player exploration — powered by the all-new Enfusion engine. Every aspect of the game can be modded using Workbench, a suite of in-house development tools, designed specifically for the Arma community.
  • Workshop
    Expand the game with original modded content or make and share your own! The Workshop is Bohemia Interactive’s own integrated, repository service, meaning console players can also enjoy add-ons created by PC users.
  • Workbench
    Thanks to the Enfusion engine, you can mod Arma Reforger using the exact same tools used to make it. Introduce new mechanics, assets, and more. The only limit is your technical abilities and imagination. Reshape the game and share your own creative vision!

At present, Arma Reforger has no official v1.0 release date, although it will leave Early Access/Game Preview once it’s considered complete. Bohemia Interactive is also pledging continued support for the title, even as their teams shift their focus and resources towards Arma 4.

Explore Bohemia Interactive’s web pages that present the past, present, and future of Arma. ArmaPlatform congregates all the Arma titles, easy access to the games themselves, and information. Arma Reforger website addresses the latest installment in the Arma series. Arma 4 website will outline the upcoming title in the future.
