Amsterdam, May 26, 2020 – International publisher MY.GAMES is thrilled to announce Warface: Breakout, a new premium tactical first-person shooter, to launch today on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The Standard Edition of the game is now available to purchase digitally for 19.99 USD.
Breakout brings the classic, competitive FPS experience to consoles with enhanced controls optimized for gamepads. The game features intense multiplayer battles with gunplay-focused combat and an arms store system that allows players to customize their loadout at the start of each round using credits earned throughout the match.
A standalone spin-off within the Warface franchise, Breakout is developed by Allods Team, an internal studio of MY.GAMES. The studio has ported the original Warface to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
“We’ve been constantly developing the Warface franchise by expanding the original game and bringing it to new platforms, including the recent launch on Nintendo Switch. With Breakout, our goal was to introduce console players to this classic, grounded FPS experience with a heavy focus on gunplay and resource management – the kind of experience which was first defined by the legendary Counter-Strike on PC, – said Ivan Pabiarzhyn, Warface franchise lead, MY.GAMES. – The team has put a lot of heart into creating an exciting, simple-yet-challenging shooter where there is only you, your gun, and your teammates on a mission to plant or defuse the bomb.”
Set in a world of tomorrow, Breakout launches with 5 different maps, over 30 weapons with unique recoil patterns and gunplay styles and a wide range of in-game customization options. Breakout features the classic ‘Search and Destroy’ game mode in which two rival teams have to either plant or defuse a bomb. The teams (Wardens and Reapers) of up to 5 players earn credits by defeating opponents and completing mission objectives. Those credits can then be spent on new weapons and tactical equipment at the beginning of each round. The rules are simple, but every match is a unique, heart-pounding battle of tactical wits.

Story:
Saints Row: The Third Remastered gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it. This is your city. These are your rules. Remastered with enhanced graphics, Steelport – the original city of sin – has never looked so good as it drowns in sex, drugs and guns.
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobblehead dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute.
Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and fight against a highly-trained military force by your lonesome in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen.

Crazy Character Customisation – Create the most outlandish characters ever seen, from washed-up celebrities to maskless ninja pirates. Inside every sinner, there is a Saint. Who will you become?
Over The Top Co-op – Fly solo or play online with a homie. Give freefall skydiving a try, landing in your partner’s flaming pickup as you make a desperate run toward a heavily armed Syndicate base. Steelport is always more fun with a friend.
All DLC included – All three expansion mission packs and more than 30 pieces of DLC from the original version.

May 21st, Warsaw, Poland. There was a TV series back in the ’90s starring Peta Wilson, called “Nikita,” that was co-directed by Luc Besson and an obvious spin-off to his famous movie of the same name. One of the main characters there was a typical nerd and IT genius, Seymour Birkhoff. He wasn’t exactly the typical James Bond type, but the world wide web, computers, or security systems, couldn’t keep any secrets from his hacking. As a result, he was the one that often saved agents working in the field, as such, the whole mission.
Modern wars don’t always happen to the accompaniment of bombs falling and tanks’ artillery volleys. Instead, a battles’ fate is quite often determined in dark rooms, illuminated only by the blue light of flickering screens. Behind these screens sit people unfamiliar with guns, but deadly effective when it comes to finding security breaches in IT systems – or better, causing them. This will be your task, among many others, in the now available Cyber Ops.
In Cyber Ops, you’ll get the chance to feel like Birkhoff for a while. And even though the game is not based on the TV series, it will allow you to supervise operations, hack security systems, scan the environment to provide the safest routes for agents working in the field, and be the man in the shadows – the one who really holds all the cards.
