Wiesbaden, May 23, 2018 – He’s back: Leisure Suit Larry will finally be back with his new adventure on PC and Mac starting in Fall 2018 – with questionable pickup lines and good old fashioned Point & Click entertainment.
In his new, completely hand-drawn adventure Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry, Larry moves straight from the 80s into the 21st century. In times of #metoo and online dating via smartphone, Larry has to find his way around.
Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry is developed by the German studio CrazyBunch from Hamburg and will be released in Fall 2018 for PC and Mac – and can now be pre-ordered on Steam! Pre-orderers can already enjoy a 15% discount on Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry digital soundtrack and an exclusive digital artbook!
Hey ladies, I’m back in business! My new adventure, Leisure Suit Larry – Wet dreams don’t dry, takes me – whatever the route or twist of fate – from the end of the ’80s directly to the 21st Century and wow, how the world has changed! While my view of the world and women from way back in the 1980s collides with modern reality harder than the breasts of a lusciously stacked blonde jogging along a beach, I’m all set to date my way across the modern world!
In a “point & click” adventure I’d call typical for the genre we mutually experience how I fall head-over-heels in love with Faith, the hot-to-trot assistant to the boss at Prune, a technology enterprise successful worldwide. Since even dating is done digitally nowadays, the first thing I have to do is to work on my score at Timber, the totally hip, can’t-get-anywhere-without-it dating app where I date women, satisfy their needs, and accordingly pick up points for my Timber profile. And whenever I get a chance in between, always briefly check out a few new bikini pix at Instacrap – the 21st century is gnarly smill!
Features:
Leisure Suit Larry is coming in the 21st century – and no, there’s no word missing here
Explore a lovingly designed, non-linear game world set in modern times with over 30 handdrawn venues
Use “Timber”, the ingame app, along with an innovative dating mechanism to date women, consequently improve your score at Timber, and ultimately clear the way to get to Faith, the women of your dreams
Solve true-blue puzzles and interact with over 30 handdrawn characters

ATLANTIC CITY — May 20, 2018 — Today, Ubisoft® announced the full details for Operation Para Bellum, one of the largest content updates yet for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Siege. Operation Para Bellum introduces two new defending operators, Alibi and Maestro, alongside an all new map, Villa, set in the Italian countryside. Year Three Season Two also brings a breath of innovation, including a new intel gadget, operator speed adjustments, various other gameplay improvements, and the all new Pick & Ban setting. A feature that evolves the way players engage with multiplayer. Operation Par Bellum will be available in June 2018.
In Operation Para Bellum, two Italian G.I.S. Operators join Rainbow as the unit raids a luxurious Tuscan villa, Rainbow Six Siege’s 20th map. The land belongs to the Vinciguerra, a dangerous crime family known for their smuggling activities. The house is their retreat, where they lead a lavish lifestyle and collect rare art pieces. Players will catch Villa in a snapshot in time: Vinciguerras are burning documents and transporting their holdings before the big raid. But they’ve got wind of Operation Para Bellum and fled, leaving everything in disarray with vital information ready for the taking.
New operator, Alibi, is an undercover infiltration specialists in the Italian Gruppo di Intervento Speciale (G.I.S.) unit. She is a cunning adversary with a gift for infiltrating dense networks of organized crime. Alibi is notable for her deployable Hologram, a mechanism that makes it difficult for enemies to positively identify her from her incredibly realistic projections.
New Operator, Maestro, is another member of the Italian, Gruppo di Intervento Speciale (G.I.S.) and participated in joint operations in Iraq, earning a facial scar from a roadside IED. Maestro is notable for his remote access turret, which is also bulletproof, capable of seeing through smoke, and able to fire low powered-laser beams.
Operation Para Bellum will also introduce the Pick & Ban system. This feature provides an extra layer of strategy between teams, as each side tries to counter their opponents’ picks during the banning phase. Players can even anticipate a thrilling twist at the last moment, when teams swap Operators for the unexpected 6th Pick.
Additionally game updates include:
Deloyable Bullet Proof Cameras
New Counter Defuser Animation
Dropshotting Adjustments
Weapon Sight Misalignment Adjustments
New Observation Tool Management
Operator Speed Adjustments
Echo Buff
Clubhouse Map Buff
The Test Server for Operation Para Bellum will go live on May 22.
