RuneScape’s Elder God Wars: The TzekHaar Front Trailer

War in RuneScape’s world of Gielinor heats up to a new level today with the launch of The TzekHaar Front, providing players with the most challenging boss yet along with powerful rewards in the final epic battlefront in the living game’s year-long Elder God Wars story arc.

The TzekHaar Front sees PC and mobile players joining arms to battle against Elder God Fuls’ powerful army The TzekHaar, a new race of deadly and menacing creatures. Those that prevail against these minions are then faced with the ultimate Elder God Wars combat test so far – General TzKal-Zuk. The pure combat challenge is fought in multiple waves and has adjustable difficulty allowing those who want an extra challenge for better drops.

Defeating the forces of Ful unlocks RuneScape’s best in slot cape; tier 95 TzKal-Zuk’s 2H sword; new magic ability; a boss pet & skin; and a Ful God book. In addition, lucrative drops from the creatures before you enter the battle arena.

The Elder God Wars battlefront began in July and received great acclaim and popularity from the RuneScape community, it’s also seen an impressive slaughter of over 27million boss kills committed. The previous three battlefronts included The Nodon Front with an epic showdown against the Kerapac boss, The Glacor Front featuring RuneScape’s first ever fully customisable encounter boss, followed by The Croesus Front showcasing RuneScape’s first ever skilling boss, a difficult battle which required strategy and teamwork.

The TzekHaar Front is now live in RuneScape on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play across all platforms.

Toy Soldiers HD Gets An Official Launch Trailer

Toy Soldiers HD is now digitally available on Xbox One (playable on Xbox Series X I S), Steam, and PlayStation 4 (playable on PS5). Our Nintendo Switch version is close to release but needs additional polish. Our small team pushed hard to achieve a simultaneous release on all platforms. We apologize to Nintendo fans, we assure you that we are getting very close and will have a release date soon.

In the meantime, we are very excited to release Toy Soldiers HD on PS, Xbox, and Steam platforms. Toy Soldiers HD is the digital embodiment of our childhood imagination mixed with strategy and military action. WWI era toy soldiers and military vehicles locked in strategic combat filled with authentic sights and sounds.

Toy Soldiers HD is a diorama of military action set in a child’s bedroom, a library, lounge, and more. At your command are toy army soldiers, tanks, biplanes, bombers, machine guns, mortars, fixed upgradeable emplacements to defend your base from waves of increasingly challenging attacks. These ingredients make Toy Soldiers HD a lot of fun to play.

Like many strategy games, you carefully build your defenses and plot your offensive moves, but one of the things that makes Toy Soldiers HD unique is the ability to instantly pop in and out of the battlefield from both third-person top-down strategic perspective and first-person POV shooter perspective in both single and multiplayer. Watch the battle play out as you build, upgrade, and repair your defenses or jump feet first into it and wage war against your opponent. Don’t worry, when you go full first-person POV, AI takes over your units.

Authentic sights and sounds of WWI create an immersive experience. Toy Soldiers HD will include never-before played content, enhanced HD graphics (hence the name), and improved camera and sound. All previously released DLC will be included in the campaign flow.

Alongside the game, a new trailer was released, wherein the game’s narrator–the Curator–welcomes players back to the Anthology and teases some of the horrific discoveries and life-or-death situations players will encounter.

The story follows the five members of the cast as they are compelled to team up with their enemies from the world above to survive the monsters from the world below.

The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of stand-alone, branching cinematic horror games designed to present a new terrifying experience on a regular basis. Each game will feature a brand-new story, setting, and new cast of characters. Experience moments of tension and terror alone in single player mode, with your friends through two player online shared story, or with up to five players in the couch-friendly movie night mode. The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is the third game in the The Dark Pictures Anthology series which features stand-alone, cinematic branching horror games where the decisions players make determine the story they experience.

“The Dark Pictures Anthology has immersed players in a bone-chilling narrative adventure brimming with suspense,” said Kristeen Laut, Brand Manager at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “With House of Ashes the next horrifically heart-pounding tale in The Dark Pictures Anthology we can’t wait for players to experience the latest story and invite them to get together with their loved ones to experience all the frights together either on the couch and through online co-op.”
