Graphic Novel Trailer:

“The Four Relics of Rivellon” is the fifth free DLC drop to be added to all versions of Divinity: Original Sin 2 across PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. It is the largest Gift Bag for the game so far, adding brand-new quest lines, stories and enemies. It has been developed in collaboration with Anshar Studios and Fool’s Theory.

Players can set out on a new adventure, featuring new voice recording and narration, as well as dastardly new fights and the Undead Dragon boss. Players will be rewarded for completing these new quests with four armor sets scattered all over Rivellon and imbued with magical properties.

The four sets of armor include:

  • Captain Armor: A set of armor that can dominate the minds of those around it. Each piece also boosts Lucky Charm, Persuasion and Bartering.
  • Vulture Armor: A light set of armor that, when complete, gives the wearer permanent vulture-like wings. Full set enhances range and damage dealt from higher ground.
  • Contamination Armor: An ancient set of armor created from magic thought lost long ago. Each piece offers resistance to poison, and the entire set grants immunity to poison along with a special ability to spawn exploding spores that will damage enemies in combat.
  • Devourer Armor: Said to make its wearer almost invincible. In combat, the armor will mark a certain target in range. Any attacks on this target cannot miss and will deal extra damage.

As ever, the contents of each Gift Bag are accessible via the in-game menu, where players can independently enable or disable each individual feature. These are compatible with all prior Gift Bags (“Beauty Salon” and “Song Of Nature”), and players are free to enable as many or as few as they’d like. Please note that once enabled, these features will roll over to your saves on PC, or vice versa on Switch if you have cloud save transfers enabled. These new features come free and are automatically downloaded to the game.

Players who pre-order New World will secure automatic access to the closed beta when it begins, plus in-game rewards. New World will launch globally for PC on August 25, 2020.

New World is an Open World MMO that pits players against the haunted wilderness of Aeternum, a mysterious island during the twilight of the Age of Exploration.

Massive battles set New World apart, with fortress sieges against other players and supernatural invasions that feature up to 100 players on the battlefield at once. Combat in New World is visceral and skill-based, giving players direct control over their movements and attacks. Aeternum is rife with danger and conflict, but rich in opportunity for soldiers, explorers, artisans and empire-builders. Players can band together to form powerful Companies operating out of fortified strongholds, or play alone and acquire and customize their own homes as they contribute to the growth of the larger community around them. New World provides near-limitless play, with classless character progression, social systems, and rich crafting mechanics.

New World is being developed at Amazon Games’ development studio in Orange County, California, by a team comprised of industry veterans with experience building some of the world’s most beloved multiplayer games, including Destiny, World of Warcraft, and Everquest.

Frostpunk the Board Game Announced

Warsaw, Poland – June 13th, 2020 — Frostpunk, the bestselling survival city-builder game, is officially going unplugged! Frostpunk: The Board Game will provide tough moral choices, challenging and strategic gameplay, emotion-driven narrative, and snow. Lots of snow. The core features of this popular 11 bit studios title will be transported to your table next year!

Frostpunk: The Board Game is coming to fruition thanks to the combined efforts of 11 bit studios and Glass Cannon Unplugged, a new tabletop game studio formed by a group of industry veterans, including Jakub Wiśniewski, creator of the highly acclaimed This War of Mine: The Board Game and Michał Ozon, former COO of board game publisher Phalanx, both accompanied by an independent author Adam Kwapiński, a world-class board game designer who has worked on titles such as Nemesis and Lords of Hellas.

Frostpunk, a BAFTA-nominee that originally launched in 2018, tells a story of a frozen Earth in an alternative XIX century. In Frostpunk: The Board Game, up to four players will take on the role of leaders of a small colony of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world that was hit by a severe ice age. Their duty is to effectively manage both its infrastructure and citizens. The core gameplay will be brutal, challenging, and complex, but easy to learn. The Glass Cannon Unplugged team understands how important emotions and moods are in Frostpunk’s gameplay, and their goal is to integrate this core mechanic into this version of the game. The citizens won’t just be speechless pieces on the board. Society members will issue demands and react accordingly to the current mood, so every decision and action bears consequences.

The players will decide the fate of their people. Will you treat them like another resource? Are you going to be an inspiring builder, a fearless explorer, or a bright scientist? Is your rule going to be a sting of tyranny or an era of law and equality?

Follow social media for more details about Frostpunk: The Board Game and get ready for the start of the game’s campaign on Kickstarter this fall!
