Gaijin Entertainment and Artstorm studio are pleased to announce that the open beta testing of the PC version of Modern Warships has already started. The game’s official website has been launched, and the Gaijin.Net store has started selling unique premium pioneer kits for players who will join Modern Warships’ large-scale naval battles at the very start of the OBT.

Modern Warships is an arcade online action game that lets the players experience authentic-looking modern naval battles. Reconnaissance planes rush forward to detect the enemy from afar, cruisers launch volleys of guided missiles and try to overwhelm enemy missile defense systems, submarines cautiously sneak up on surface ships, and jet fighters provide air cover for the allied fleet.

Modern Warships is a cross-platform game, so users on PC, iOS and Android versions will be able to play together.

“Mobile Modern Warships players will be able to use their existing Artstorm account to log in to the PC version while retaining their progress, while users of other Gaijin Entertainment games will be able to log in to the new game using their familiar Gaijin.Net account”, – explains Pavel Shestakov, the lead developer of the PC version.

Modern Warships features hundreds of vehicles and weapon systems: destroyers, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers, jet fighters, strike aircraft, bombers, helicopters, drones and submarines, as well as guns, torpedo launchers, missile launchers, missile and air defense systems. All of which are based on existing and future military hardware, prototypes and modernization concept projects. Almost all vehicles in the game can be researched and unlocked for free, plus players can additionally purchase some rare models and cosmetic items.

To celebrate the launch of the OBT, four unique packs are temporarily available in the Gaijin.Net store from now until the end of September: concepts of advanced missile destroyers from China (“CN DDG-203 Kylin”), Russia (“Project 2145”) and France (FS Swordship) and a real monster called JS Yamato Aegis – a modernization concept of the legendary Japanese battleship with the installation of modern air defense systems and hypersonic missiles. Each ship comes with a limited edition captain portrait, available only at the start of the OBT, along with a themed skin.

You can read more about Modern Warships and download the game client on the official website.

Hunt: Showdown Tide of Corruption On Now

Today Hunt: Showdown launches its “Tide of Corruption” live event, which brings game-changing new features to the bayou and offers players the chance to earn a huge range of rewards, including two new Legendary Hunters, weapons, equipment, and an explosive new consumable, the Fire Beetle. The “Tide of Corruption” event begins on PC today and runs through November 29. The event will be live on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the coming days.

Players will enjoy a brand-new story that continues right where “Tide of Shadows” left off, and can pledge their Hunters to new pacts which each feature a set of unique traits to equip. As fans rack up Event Points they can also take on the new Wildcard Condition, Dark Inferno, which sets areas of the bayou on fire in night maps.

“We are thrilled to launch our biggest and best live event yet,” said Scott Lussier, Design Director for Hunt: Showdown. “Players will take on a new set of challenges as we bring back the popular Inferno Wildcard Condition from the Devil’s Moon live event, this time setting areas of the map on fire at night. The new Fire Beetle consumable allows players to rain fire on their enemies from above and trigger chain explosions throughout the bayou, and the new story takes players deeper into the world and eerie atmosphere of Hunt: Showdown. We can’t wait to see how players change up their game strategies with the new challenges and features.”

Features for the “Tide of Corruption” live event include:

  • Dark Inferno: When Dark Inferno is active during the live event, areas of the bayou are set ablaze, and players may need to reconsider their strategy. Hunters could adjust their routes to avoid the fire or choose to use the flames to conceal their position and surprise their enemies. This new Wildcard Condition will occur during select days throughout the event.
  • The New Fire Beetle: The new Fire Beetle consumable is an evolution of the other Beetles available in the game, which give Hunters a view from above so they can find and track their prey. The Fire Beetle offers these same benefits but can also be triggered to explode into a ball of flames, damaging nearby Hunters and monsters and igniting flammable objects in the vicinity.
  • Pacts: Tide of Corruption introduces three new pacts for players to pledge their allegiance to: the Demented Pact, Death Pact, and Infernal Pact. Each pact gives fans the opportunity to use a set of pact-specific traits which offer new ways to achieve their goals. As players progress through the event, unlocked lore will reveal more about the nature and motivations of each group. Each pact will also offer the chance to earn unique rewards.
  • Rewards: The new Battle Pass offers both free and premium pathways to unlock different tiers of rewards through the live event. Rewards include two new Legendary Hunters, Burnt Marshall and The Butcher’s Cleaver, a new Baseball Bat melee weapon, and a variety of other new weapons and equipment, including the Vetterli 71 Karabiner Cyclone, the Derringer Pennyshot, and the Bornheim No. 3 Silencer. Weapon Charms and Blood Bond Prizes are available as well in the most challenging and rewarding live event in Hunt: Showdown history.

Hunt: Showdown is out now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Players can find out more about the latest live event and the game itself by visiting www.huntshowdown.com.

Cream Productions — a prominent entertainment production company — is delighted to announce an October 18, 2023, release date for the VR survival game Survivorman VR: The Descent on Meta Quest 2, and the upcoming Meta Quest 3. Featuring survival legend Les Stroud, Survivorman VR: The Descent is a gripping reality-based survival simulator set in the Canadian Arctic that tests the mettle of would-be survivalists, forcing them to use their hard-earned skills, quick thinking, and creativity to battle the elements and save their own lives.

Produced by the creative team behind the hit TV series Survivorman, Survivorman VR: The Descent is a first-person adventure simulator that gives players a simple challenge: survive a helicopter crash in the Arctic mountains and make their way to safety. Tasked with braving the wilderness and freezing temperatures, players engage in a raw test of endurance, smarts, and skill, all while working under the watchful eye of Les Stroud himself. As they descend down the cliff face, survivalists learn to navigate icy ravines, treacherous rivers, and daring rock faces as they find their way to safety. With direct expertise from Les Stroud in the making of the game, the challenges experienced in Survivorman VR: The Descent are rooted in authentic survival.

A true survivalist in every sense of the word, Les Stroud, who pioneered the survival television genre with his hit TV show Survivorman, is considered a teacher and mentor, above all. After decades of educating viewers on how to scrape together a shelter and make fire from essentially nothing, he’s bringing survival lessons to players in the most immersive form of audio-visual simulation: virtual reality.
