Moscow – April 28, 2020 | Population Zero launches on Steam May 5th, and developer Enplex Games has a special treat to mark the occasion. ‘Gravity’ lays the groundwork for the life of the player as they try to survive the harsh wilds of the planet Kepler. With a stirring original song ‘Movement’ by indie pop artist Naadia, this cinematic launch trailer hints at the mystery which awaits players on May 5th.

Additionally, Enplex Games recently released a developer blog that highlights a few of the different game modes in Population Zero. Both PVE and PVP servers will be available, ensuring that those who wish to explore Kepler without fear of other players can do so freely. The first time you start a 7-day cycle you will join the Standard PvE mode. PVP modes are unlocked via account progression after the first few hours of life on Kepler.

The very first session in Population Zero starts in an instanced training dungeon, the Drop Zone, where you will get the hang of movement, platforming, and combat by going through several simple tasks. Then, if you so choose, you can brave the harsher, more free-for-all lifestyle of PVP.

With launch just mere days away, players can wishlist Population Zero, and the game will be $29.99 USD at launch with an additional 17% discount for the first week. Additional packages come with additional cosmetic perks to help players stand out from the crowd of survivors on Kepler.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif – April 28, 2020 – Today, Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of live service games, and Gunfire Games announced Swamps of Corsus, a new premium DLC for Remnant: From the Ashes, is now available on PC (Steam) for $9.99, along with a bundle including the Remnant: From the Ashes base game and Swamps of Corsus DLC for $44.99. From April 28 to May 3, the bundle will be available for 40% off the retail price as part of Steam Midweek Madness. The new DLC and DLC bundle will be coming to Xbox One and PlayStation®4 on June 4. In the latest DLC for Remnant: From the Ashes, players navigate a more deadly version of the world of Corsus, inhabited by the Cult of Iskal, and also take on the toughest challenge yet: the brand-new, rogue-like “Survival Mode.”

In the revamped Corsus zone exclusively in Adventure mode, the hive mind Cult of Iskal has claimed the swamps for themselves, proving to be as lethal and dangerous as the Root, the evil force plaguing Earth. All hope is not lost for players, however, as a lone holdout remains, out of reach of the Iskal’s grasp. To change the future of Corsus, players must confront the Queen and stop the Iskal once and for all or choose to help her complete the Iskal’s plan. Exploring Corsus in Adventure Mode gives players the chance to earn unique rewards- including three powerful weapons – by overcoming various challenges in the form of deadly overworld enemies, four side dungeons and two epic bosses, like the menacing Barbed Terror. Along with the swarm of new content in the Swamps of Corsus, the DLC includes a new rogue-like test of will in “Survival Mode.” This intense mode thrusts players into a completely randomized permadeath experience that challenges them to progress as far as they can in one life. In the new mode, players start with nothing but a Repeater Pistol, a few consumables and a handful of scrap. Players travel randomly through corrupted World Stones to various biomes and fight for survival against hordes of enemies that get stronger with each stage, in hopes of finding epic rewards, such as new armor, and new weapons – like the Hero’s Sword that unleashes a powerful wave attack.

Below is a detailed list of features for Swamps of Corsus:

  • New Mode – Survival: Players fight for their lives as they begin their journey with nothing but a pistol, some scrap and the skin on their back in this new rogue-like game mode! Those brave enough will travel randomly through corrupted World Stones to different biomes, scrap-up gear, fight insanely-difficult bosses and test their endurance.
  • The Iskal Rise – The swamps of Corsus swarm with new content! Players will discover a plethora of new content in Corsus, including a new zone, new bosses, new stories, new events, new quests, and more.
  • Lock & Load – Adventurers will collect new items, new armor, new weapons, new mods and new traits.
  • Armor Skins – By defeating bosses in Survival Mode, or the Hard and Nightmare difficulties in Campaign and Adventure Mode, players earn Glowing Shards which can be used to purchase alternate armor skins for every piece of armor available in the game.

Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival action shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you set out alone or alongside up to two other players to face down hordes of deadly enemies and epic bosses, and try to carve a foothold, rebuild, and then retake what was lost.

Remnant: From the Ashes is available digitally for $39.99 on PC (Arc and Steam), Xbox One and PlayStation®4. The physical version is also available now at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, among other retailers for PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for $39.99.

Mars Horizon Announcement Trailer

LONDON (April 23, 2020) — Rocket enthusiasts at developer Auroch Digital and space tourists at publisher The Irregular Corporation (PC Building Simulator, Balsa Model Flight Simulator) announced that the upcoming space agency management game, Mars Horizon, will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch later this year with a beta planned for April 27th on Steam.

A new trailer released today shows off several elements of the game play – including what can go wrong if you don’t succeed. Plan and build your mission control offices across brightly lit and easy to use tiles, harness design, upgrades and mission strategies via the game’s elegant user interface and achieve the ultimate goal of planting your flag on Mars:

In Mars Horizon you take control of a major space agency, launching from the dawn of the space age in the 1950s, all the way through to landing humans on Mars in the near future. Guide your agency through the space race and write your alternate history of space exploration: any of the agencies can be the first to land on the Moon if you make the right choices.

Step into the shoes of a mission control flight director, manage the mission, and face the challenges as you plan your agency’s journey to the stars. In Mars Horizon, you’ll need to manage your agency’s resources and solve strategic challenges in turn-based missions in order to succeed. But beware: space is a very unforgiving environment.

These are the critical moment-to-moment decisions of mission control; do you spend power to fix a malfunctioning antenna or save it in case of an oxygen leak? Perhaps risking that extra three months of mission planning could have avoided this issue?

Manage the numerous challenges faced then and now:

● Play as a variety of real space agencies or create your own and everything that goes with it: build your base with launch pads, research labs, astronaut training facilities, and of course, rockets
● Construct your own custom launch vehicles from hundreds of combinations, and improve their reliability over launches and missions.
● Plan missions and manage challenges: launch satellites and crewed spacecraft to explore the Solar System and create solutions to unforeseen problems that arise. Mars Horizon brings you all the excitement of real scenarios of space exploration and makes it accessible
● Solve the various challenges of turn-based missions to earn scientific advancement and public support – the more support you gain, the larger your budget will become
● Explore an extensive tech tree and either compete or collaborate with other agencies to plot your roadmap to Mars
● Created using input from actual space agencies, Mars Horizon distils a passion for space exploration, international cooperation, and the goal of making humanity a multi-planetary species!

You’re in charge of every element of the journey into space: success rides on your decisions.

Having made waves on PSVR in 2018, The Persistence offers players an intentionally savage take on survival-horror that integrates an innovative rogue-like design into the genre, with its release on console and PC marking the first time it’s hit the 4K flat screen and Firesprite’s debut on both Nintendo and Microsoft platforms.

“When we made the move to bring The Persistence to new platforms, our key focus was to ensure that the particularly brutal nature of gameplay made the leap to non-VR,” says Graeme Ankers, MD and founder of Firesprite Games. “As a result, The Persistence keeps players on edge from beginning to end, and with a procedurally generated environment forming around them, no two playthroughs are ever identical, meaning you will never find safety in the same spot.”

In addition, players who pre-purchase The Persistence on Nintendo Switch (between Thursday, April 23rd and Wednesday, May 20th) and Xbox One (between Thursday, April 30th and Wednesday, May 20th) will receive a 10 percent discount.

Games Publisher Perp Games will publish physical editions across retail on the three console platforms. The release will be as near as possible to the digital release taking into account the effect of COVID 19 on global retail.

The Persistence features: –

  • A brutal take on the survival-horror genre that integrates rogue-like design elements to give the action an extra edge
  • Procedurally generated stages that change with each playthrough, creating a labyrinth-like experience that adds to the tension
  • Live, die, repeat. Play as dozens of different clones on board the ship, each one with the potential to be stronger than the last
  • Tailored controls. enhanced environments and post-processing effects for PC, PS4 and Xbox One deliver a heightened fidelity of horror for fans of the genre
  • Atmospheric, cutting-edge visuals in docked, handheld or tabletop modes for the Nintendo Switch platform
