Expedition Zero, an intense survival horror experience, asks who will hunt or be hunted when it ambushes PC via Steam on Thursday, March 24, 2022. Developer Enigmatic Machines and publisher tinyBuild invites survivors turned stalkers to experience the grotesque voyage’s new demo, showcasing new areas and gameplay features, starting Monday, Feb. 21, during Steam Next Fest.

Explore the frozen expanse of rural Siberia as the last person standing from a scientific survey gone awry. Trapped in an abandoned military research zone surrounded by inescapable walls, freezing life-threatening temperatures, biting blizzards, lack of resources, and hunger soon become the least of the researcher’s worries. Far-fetched growls in the dark reveal a gruesome flesh-eating forest monster and other corrupted creatures hungry for blood.

Avoid a horrendous demise at all costs. Establish new safe points for agonizing moments of uneasy rest, oftentimes the difference between life and death. Run away, become prey, or fight back with a potentially mighty mecha-suit. Loot and craft useful devices and modules to upgrade the suit, transforming it into all-powerful armor against the dangers lying in wait.

Get stronger with each passing day while discovering the weaknesses of the wicked beast to face it in a deadly duel. One of these nights, the prey could finally become the hunter, with the right resources and knowledge.

Survey long-abandoned scientific labs, rural dilapidated houses, forsaken churches, and the frightful forest, examining every nook and cranny to uncover the dark truth about a top-secret military operation and the horrific experiments on animals and humans.

A horror-stricken tale of survival against all odds, Expedition Zero is an extreme experience told with stunning cinematic visuals, bringing one’s worst nightmares to life.

“We created a realistic setting for an immersive–and dreadful–experience capable of petrifying even the most seasoned of horror fans,” said Pavel Necas, Lead Designer, Enigmatic Machines. “Expedition Zero combines elements of exploration, sci-fi, survival, and even sandbox, encouraging outside of the box thinking to help our sole survivor break out of the deadly nightmare he has been stuck in for years.”

Expedition Zero arrives on Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store on Thursday, March 24, for USD $19.99 / €16.79. It supports English audio only, with English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) text.

“On behalf of everyone at Torn Banner Studios, I’d like to thank the Chivalry 2 player base,” said Torn Banner Studios CEO & Creative Director Steve Piggott. “We are blown away by the positive reception since launch and Chivalry 2 would not be regarded as one of the best multiplayer games of 2021 without your support.

This is still the beginning and Torn Banner Studios remains committed to continue increasing the size and scope of Chivalry 2 this year.”

Wargaming, publisher and developer of the naval multiplayer free-to-play game World of Warships, has announced the details of its latest update with new ships, an all-new battle type and a long-awaited nation.

New Super Aircraft Carriers

Jet planes on the horizon! Not one, but two new Super Aircraft Carriers are entering World of Warships, celebrating both British and US naval powers. The Eagle hails from the British Navy, which housed some of the most advanced deck-based aircraft of the 1950s, including jet aircraft. The United States has been recreated in the game based on original unfinished plans from 1949, giving players a glimpse of what could have been. Both ships carry two types of squadrons: standard and an all-new tactical squadron. These very fast jet-propelled aircraft can quickly cover substantial distances and carry out lightning-fast attacks against enemy ships.

Dirigible Derby

In the newest update, players can also dive into a brand-new temporary game mode: Dirigible Derby. This will see teams of 12 facing off in a Tier X ship showdown, escorting these iconic airships to their destinations. Based on historic tactical warfare, where important diplomats would be escorted to conduct secret negotiations in neutral territories, players can get a feel for high-stakes missions first-hand. Those who can outrun their opponents and deliver their dirigible first will be victorious.

Pan-Asian Cruisers

The all new Pan-Asian Cruisers will continue their steady course in Early Access, with the Rahmat and Harbin all available for Pan-Asia Tokens while Jinan and the Sejong available for doubloons. Port Dragon has also been updated to celebrate this release, with access to a special combat mission to unlock a unique commemorative flag.

Personal Challenges and the Mediterranean event: Spain enters the fray!

From the launch of Update 0.11.1, players will be able to take part in Personal Challenges, to earn the most XP possible while mixing up different ship types and nations. As a reward of this Mediterranean themed event, players can receive two tier VI ships, the Spanish heavy cruiser Canarias which will be the first of the Spanish ships in game, and the long awaited cruiser Dido from the Royal Navy.
