DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS delivers an overwhelming sense of realism on every battlefield, with the largest number of soldiers in the series’ history to date.

The protagonist of this title takes to the battlefield alongside the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, wiping out swarms of enemies with swords, fists and various other weapons. Travelling across the world map as they embark on their epic journey, players can suppress rebellions or choose to rescue government forces during “Missions”, overcome “Skirmishes”, and visit various locations where they will be able to buy weapons. Throughout their quest, players will also encounter a variety of characters familiar to the DYNASTY WARRIORS franchise such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Depending on the bond forged, these characters can become travelling companions, or an enemy as players dive into the most aggressive 1 vs. 1,000 combat in series history!

Streamers React to Permafrost Demo

While the gaming world looks with anticipation to the coming Steam Next Fest starting later in the month, there is still the chance to play one of the hottest demos on Steam. During the October edition of the demo event, the survival adventure Permafrost from development team SpaceRocket Games and publisher Toplitz Productions collected a ‘very positive’ rating from the Steam users for the trial version, which garnered more than 300.000 downloads so far.

Experience the fascination of Permafrost for yourself, when you brave bone-chilling temperatures in arctic-like conditions caused by a world-changing event that resulted in the almost complete extinction of the human race.

Grab your friends and enter the world of Permafrost with up to four players in cooperative multiplayer or take on the hostile environment all by yourself, just accompanied by your dog as a trusted companion.

Exploration, resourcefulness and the sheer will to survive will help you when you construct intricate shelters, cultivate crops to stave off hunger, and harness the power of technology to fend off threats both human and environmental. Be wary of the sub-zero temperatures and the effect they can have on your character’s capabilities, as you fight challenging conditions, hunt elusive prey and utilize salvaged machinery to craft the tools you need to combat the relentless winter.

But don’t wait too long. The closer we get to Permafrost’s release date set for later this year, the higher the chances that access to the demo will be discontinued.

Get ready to experience a modern post-apocalyptic setting, combining intricate resource management with deep survival mechanics, before it is too late.
