Today, Ubisoft announced Rengoku, a new limited-time event for Rainbow Six ® Siege, available tomorrow, April 26, until May 17. Rengoku introduces a new control area game mode with unique Kiba loadouts and fast respawn, creating a fast-paced and action-packed event.
Set in Japan, Rengoku unveils a temple in the sky and a fight for eternity, where Operators are Samurai warriors possessed by spirits fighting for the honor of the gods in a revisited Skyscraper map. In the 5v5 control mode, players must stay near altars for five seconds unopposed to score control points or steal control points from the opposing team – the first team to reach 300 points wins the match. Every two minutes, the control points will change location.
Operators will wield a one-hit kill explosive Kiba on top of shotguns and pistols. Fuze, Osa, Rook, and Thunderbird can choose between a Fire or Poison Kiba, while Twitch, Capitão, Zofia, Kapkan, Bandit, and Maestro can choose between the Flashback or Knockback Kiba to unleash the ultimate chaos.
This event brings with it the Rengoku Collection, which contains uniforms, headgear, weapon skins and Operator Card Portraits for the Rengoku competitors. Rengoku also introduces the Battlefield Spirit Bundle which includes a signature weapon skin, a universal attachment skin, charm and background. The Rengoku Collection packs can be obtained by completing the special Event Challenges, or by purchasing them for 300 R6 Credits, or 12500 Renown each. The individual Bundles may also be bought directly for 1680 R6 Credits each.
Team17 and Sengi Games have today launched alchemy sandbox adventure game The Serpent Rogue on PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S. As the mysterious, plague-masked protagonist, The Warden, players must explore the world, craft, and utilize crucial potions to cleanse the world of the malevolent corruption known as the Serpent Rogue, and restore balance to the lands surrounding Mount Morbus.
Alchemy is one of the key ingredients in The Serpent Rogue’s gameplay and mastering it will be pivotal to The Warden’s success. Collect and research ingredients to unveil their uses, experiment with different mixtures to craft unique potions, and use concoctions in a variety of ways to progress through an everchanging world.
The Serpent Rogue allows players to tackle challenges in a myriad of ways: adversaries can be defeated directly through head-to-head open combat, perfectly timed alchemic potions, or by befriending and taming local beasts. Each step on The Warden’s journey is fraught with challenges and decisions, the echoes of which can be felt across the wider world. For instance, leaving food lying around will attract vermin and cause havoc, while bodies left unburied will lure fearsome ghouls, so tread carefully.
The Serpent Rogue key features
Sandbox roguelike: Explore the mysterious world of The Serpent Rogue; locations and items are randomised by storms that sweep the land
Permutations aplenty: Utilise the magic and crafting of alchemy to create new tactics and overcome the many threats and situations created by the corruption of the Serpent Rogue
Cause and effect: The Warden’s actions have consequences that can be used to their advantage; but will they become the hero of the tale… or the villain?

Publisher Thermite Games announced today its upcoming survival simulator title Nobody – The Turnaround arrives on PC via Steam this Fall. With over one million downloads from its February debut demo at Steam Next Fest, Nobody is set in a familiar modern society. Take the role of a blue collar “nobody” that is trying to make ends meet and navigate difficult choices in grimy alleyways and low-rent hostels. Utilize the resources at hand, develop job skills for self-improvement, and make challenging decisions that impact the characters you encounter every day. Players must make the most of every opportunity in their struggle to make a name for themselves in society and turn their status of nobody into somebody.
“Nobody – The Turnaround is one of the most fascinating games we’ve worked on,” states Sean Li, owner and founder of Thermite Games. “We want to introduce players to unique indie games that deliver beautiful and intriguing experiences. The positive response from our demo debut at Steam Next Fest makes us believe Nobody – The Turnaround will truly reimagine the survival genre.”
Nobody – The Turnaround authentically represents working class dilemmas and the harsh yet fulfilling struggle of daily urban life with visually striking detail. From financial, mental and physical health problems to issues with work and mediocre living situations, Nobody depicts an all-too familiar yet fascinating story of the common man. Do you save money by skipping a meal and risk hunger affecting stamina at your new job? Do you spend time collecting recyclable bottles for extra pocket change or steal scooter parts for risky quick cash gains? As players fight to survive and make a name for themselves, they will work hard to create a satisfying career path, develop stronger relationships and find security among society.
Nobody – The Turnaround is coming to Steam this Fall.
World of Tanks is more than just pure steel and firepower; it’s about tactics and strategy, and the latest event takes this up a gear! Players can master the Art of Strategy from today until early May.
The event consists of two formats which feature Tier X vehicles exclusively: 1v1 and 1v7. The 1v1 RTS-style format will see two Strategists engaged in a battle of wits for supremacy on the battlefield using the squads of 7 vehicles at their command. The 1v7 format pits 7 Tankers against a single Strategist and their 7 vehicles that await orders. The 1v1 mode is available from today, allowing players to familiarize themselves with it and its nuances before taking on the 1v7 one, which arrives on April 25th. And no matter which side a player lands on, Strategist or Tanker, the path to victory is the same: destroy all enemy vehicles or capture the base.
The two roles are different from each other: Those playing the Strategist role will command a squad of seven AI-controlled Tier X vehicles, that operate independently, as the Strategist sets stances and issues appropriate commands throughout the battle. They will also be able to set routes for their vehicles as they watch over the battlefield in a “bird’s-eye” view. Unlike the Tankers, the Strategist has auxiliary defenses in fixed positions that act as independent combat units. At any time during the course of battle, the Strategist can also take control of any one of the 7 vehicles in their squad and command them individually.
Both sides will only have a minute pre-battle to decide their tactics and set themselves up for victory. This 60-second period will play a massive part in the outcome of the battle. The Strategist can use this time to deploy their vehicles and set up their defenses, while the Tankers will assign roles that fit their vehicles and contemplate which avenues should be their key routes. Players who take part in the Art of Strategy event will have access to two daily missions for both roles (four in total). By completing daily missions, they’ll get closer to customization element rewards that include styles, inscriptions, decals, badges and 5 unique fully-trained crew members, all of which come with Brothers in Arms as a zero perk and enough crew XP to immediately learn another perk or skill of the player’s choice, as well as medals for winning battles.

Milestone and Dorna Sports S.L. are proud to announce that MotoGP™22, the newest chapter of the celebrated two-wheel racing simulation game, is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ and Steam.
MotoGP™22 enriches the heritage of the video game franchise and the sport itself, adding a one-of-a-kind game mode. The NINE Season 2009 is a fascinating way to re-live one of the most incredible seasons in MotoGP™ history. A nostalgic and emotional docu-film narrated by Mark Neale, director of some of the best MotoGP™ documentaries, with more than 50 minutes of original footage from the 2009 Season mixed with real gameplay, creates a total-immersive motor simulation experience. Players will find themselves in the boots of legendary riders such as Rossi, Pedrosa, Stoner and Lorenzo, facing breath-takingly difficult challenges to replicate historical moments.
NINE Season 2009 replicates all the 17 grand prix of the season, divided in chapters with over 39 challenges in total.
The 2022 edition also adds new dedicated features for both newcomers and core gamers: the enhanced Tutorial and the MotoGP™ Academy. Thanks to these two new tailor-made modes players have the chance to master their knowledge of two wheels or learn the basics to start their escalation to the pro-level.
The Tutorial features a series of dedicated gameplay sessions, helping newcomers to understand the basics of the game through specific challenges focused on electronics, tire consumption, brake temperature and core differences between the three main categories.
The MotoGP™ Academy teaches you how to improve your riding style to be unbeatable on every track, uncovering the secrets to face all the curves and the hardest trajectories.
Additionally, the Riding Analysis System helps riders through in-game pop-up messages that appear at the end of the race suggesting how to adjust the difficulty level based on skills and performances. The game can recommend activating some help or suggest playing specific tutorials designed to fill gaps in terms of gameplay knowledge and attitudes.
The Managerial Career is back and allows players to decide whether to create a new team or join a real one. The game mode also features the possibility to go in-depth in the strategy’s details, using development points and allocating R&D staff to reach the top along with working on the Bike Development through enhancing aspects such as Engine, Frame, Aerodynamics and Electronics. The path could start from the bottom, creating a Junior Team in Moto2™ or Moto3™ categories, selecting a sponsor and hiring a Team Manager, Technical Director and at least one rider.
MotoGP™22 reaches a moto realism never seen before. A true next-generation experience that reduces the boundaries between videogames and reality.
A level of realism never seen before: new face animations, improved 3D characters and pits
Ride Height Device: players will be able to manually manage the locking mechanism of the RHD and control the compression of the bike’s suspensions
Enhanced tracks: surfaces have been improved to have a better rideability
Improved Suspension system: refined for a better feeling when passing over curbs
Tire deformation: a more realistic tire behavior making the experience even closer to reality
And for the first time ever in the series, MotoGP™22 features the highly anticipated 2-player local split-screen*, online multiplayer* and cross-play through consoles of the same family.
MotoGP™22 is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5**, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S**, Nintendo Switch and Steam.
