Farming Simulator 22 to Introduce Beekeeping and Greenhouses

Farming will be as sweet and delicious as ever: Developer and publisher GIANTS Software introduces new beekeeping features to produce honey, and greenhouses to grow juicy strawberries, healthy lettuce and tomatoes in Farming Simulator 22. A new trailer also shines light on the livestock animals, even cuter than before, as well as the new wildlife whirling around through fields and forests.

In combination with the new production chains, farmers can extend their operation significantly through more options and produce way more than just the usual crops. This way of direct and local distribution allows for more complexity, especially in multiplayer mode with multiple farmers working together.

Let’s make some money, with honey!
The irrefutable importance of bees shows itself in Farming Simulator 22 through various effects on the farm: by placing beehives in proximity to canola, potatoes, and sunflowers, the yield of said crops will rise thanks to pollinating. Of course, the bees also do what bees do best: produce a sweet, golden and viscous substance.

Stored on generated pallets, beekeepers (preferably wearing the new protective beekeeping suit) can either sell honey directly or deliver it to the cereal factory, where it’s used among other ingredients to produce a crunchy breakfast product. While the beehives in varying sizes are productive during warm seasons, they will only serve as a place for a buzzing slumber party when it gets cold.

Greenhouses to secure income during winter
With seasonal cycles coming to Farming Simulator 22, virtual farmers need to prepare for winter. While plowing snow and tending to livestock, additional income can be generated by building greenhouses in varying sizes. With plants and trees withered during the cold months, growing strawberries, lettuce and tomatoes will still provide a green sight – as long as fresh water is provided. And the profitability of the farm during winter is guaranteed.

Farming Simulator 22 releases on November 22nd for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Stadia.

Conan Exiles People of the Dragon DLC Gets Official Launch Trailer

Released today on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, People of the Dragon Pack introduces 110 new items ranging from medieval building pieces to weapons, armor and placeables. The newest Conan Exiles DLC is themed around the proud kingdom of Nemedia, Aquilonia’s longtime rival and neighbor to the east.

While Nemedia is perhaps most famed for fostering the leading philosophers and historians in Hyboria, the old kingdom can also boast a powerful army and have held the Aquilonians at bay for millennia. The People of the Dragon Pack allows you to create your own version of a Nemedian stronghold, taking this history into account.

Among the new placeables you will find journals, scrolls and a bookshelf, representing the learned women and men of Nemedia, whereas the new weapons and armor pieces allow you to charge into battle donning the fierce dragon emblem. And as a counterweight to the Roman inspired Aquilonian architecture, Nemedian building pieces have a distinct Germanic touch. Most of the new items are displayed in the brand-new People of the Dragon Pack trailer.

All the new content in People of the Dragon Pack is exclusive to this DLC and adds a host of new visual options but does not give any in-game advantage in power. All the new items have comparable stats to existing items.

Conan Exiles is an open world survival game set in the savage lands of Conan the Barbarian. Launched in full on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation in 2018, it quickly became one of Funcom’s best-selling and fastest-selling games and has since been continually updated with improvements and new content. The game’s first massive expansion, Isle of Siptah, was launched earlier this year, and featured a vast new island to explore.

Endzone – A World Apart: Prosperity Brings Comfort to the Post-Apocalypse

Today, Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Gentlymad Studios announced the launch of Endzone – A World Apart: Prosperity, now available on Steam and GOG. The release is paired with a fresh trailer showcasing the expansion’s new features, as well as some of the luxuries in which the survivors can now partake. Prosperity isn’t just a title — after carving out a home in this ruined world, surviving through toxic rain, sandstorms, and even attacks from their fellow man, settlers can finally enjoy some of the finer things in life…like soap!

With over 350,000 units sold on Steam and GOG and 4,000 positive Steam reviews, Assemble and Gentlymad Studios are proud to release this highly anticipated expansion. With new freedoms come new challenges, as players now not only have to tend to a resident’s needs but also their wants. The new generation isn’t simply content with surviving, they want to thrive. Adding to the game’s realism, this expansion will have players strategize in different and demanding ways, planning out community decisions with more than just survival in mind. Citizens will want their Town Center upgraded into a proper City Hall and ultimately, the residents will eventually request the construction of a long-lasting building as a shining example of all the progression and accomplishments: The Beacon.

With the Prosperity expansion bringing fresh luxuries like beer, cake, coffee, and soap, players might forget that the previous threats haven’t just disappeared. Along with the comfort items, the expansion also brings new resources like sand, concrete, metal, and cement for upgraded building construction. Utilize the new supplies to protect the community from the still present threats of toxic rain, violent sandstorms, savage raiders, and the ever-looming threat of radiation. Though, once the outpost has been fortified, they’ll be free to put up their feet with a nice cup of coffee — they’ve earned it.

Brook Unveils Two New Pokemon Go Auto Catch Devices

Gaming accessory brand Brook today announced the official release of the next iterations of their wildly popular Pocket Series of wearables – the Auto Catch Reviver Plus and the Auto Catch Reviver Dia Plus. Popular with Pokémon Go players around the world, both new models of the Auto Catch Reviver come packed with community-requested and game supporting features designed to make every trainer successful. Both models are now available at retailers worldwide at the MSRP of $60 and $67, respectively.

Listening directly to Pokémon trainers around the world, the new and improved Auto Catch Reviver units come packed with handy features designed to make every Pokémon collection session a breeze. One major issue trainers had with previous models was that there was no warning if their wearable was disconnecting from the game, often resulting in missing rare Pokémon or items from special events. The new Disconnection Reminder feature will now alert players with haptic vibration to alert them that the device is about to disconnect from the game and prompt them to take action. The Auto Catch Reviver Plus and Dia Plus will also feature a battery capacity display on-screen, which was absent in earlier models, so that no trainer will have to struggle with battery levels during their collecting sessions.

To manage both function and settings, each unit will come pre-installed with Brook’s exclusive Pocket Center app. Using the app, trainers can manage their auto-catch features, offline push notifications (Android only), and, most importantly, automatic firmware updates. All future products in the Pocket Series line of wearables will also ship with Pocket Center pre-installed.

For the fashion forward trainer, Brook has also released the stylish Pocket Auto Catch Reviver Case, an exclusive leather case designed specifically for the Reviver and Revier Dia line. Besides offering additional protection from the elements, the case also adds an extra degree of portability and can be clipped to a backpack or belt.

Since the launch of the first Pocket Series Auto Catch in 2017, more than 350,000 trainers have taken their game to the next level with Brook’s Pocket series. The core features of the line is to allow players to automatically catch Pokémon and collect items while playing Pokémon Go. Various models with differing functionality appeal to trainers of all levels, as well as providing both fun and practical features such as waterproofing, shock and drop resistance, different color schemes, and even a color screen on the high-end Pocket Series Auto Catch Watchic model.

Coming to Steam VR and Quest in 2022, Green Hell VR is a survival simulation virtual reality game set in the beautiful Amazon rainforest that follows a touching story rooted in modern reality.

Using ingenious gameplay mechanics and advanced VR object physics such as crafting items with your hands, manipulating tree sticks as you would in real life, tossing them to the ground to make a fire, and cook your meal. Green Hell VR will bring you the most realistic experience of what it’s like to survive in the jungle. You can go fishing and hunting with your bow, scavenging for healing plants and water, crafting DIY tools using the ancestral knowledge of the indigenous tribes to protect yourself from the environment.

You are Jake Higgins, a famous anthropologist, who is thrown deep into the emerald and impenetrable Amazonian rain forest. The green hell. Surrounded by predators with only your trusty smartwatch, backpack, and the survival guide you grabbed just before leaving home, you will follow the familiar voice of a loved one through this endless and inhospitable jungle, unveiling bit by bit how you got there in the first place.
