Satisfactory Update 3 Trailer and Steam Early Access Details

SKÖVDE, Sweden – Feb 11th, 2020: Coffee Stain Studios is pleased to reveal that Satisfactory, the otherworldly first-person factory building sim will launch on Steam Early Access as they release their biggest update yet. Update 3 launches today and sees pipes introduced to the game, the single most requested feature from the Satisfactory community since its launch on the Epic Games Store last year. As well as making Pioneer pipe dreams a reality, Update 3 introduces a new Resource Sink, ensuring production never stops by eating excess inventory in exchange for coupons to spend on your factory, Hypertubes – a new (pipe-like) method of transportation, and a new starting area in the remade Dune Desert, only for the most adventurous and brave space explorers. Update 3 is the most significant to launch yet, and sees a host of improvements, balances and new systems as Satisfactory hurtles towards full commercial launch.

The highly anticipated introduction of pipes to Satisfactory adds a completely new layer of complexity for budding factory architects with the addition of fluids. Pioneers can now command the flow of Fluid Oil resources and harness the power of the Water Extractor whilst tinkering with Pipes & Flow Indicators, Pipe Pumps, Fluid Tanks for Trains and command their very own Oil Refinery. The introduction of the Resource Sink means production never halts as it consumes excess inventory, and gives coupons in return to be spent on your factory on exciting new constructs such as glass walls and floors. FICSIT Inc. have also continued to conquer new ground, giving Pioneers a brand new starting area to explore and exploit in the redesigned Dune Desert, a vast arid biome designed to test even the most experienced explorers. As well as the new features added to Satisfactory, Update 3 has also made Pioneers more agile than ever before, with the addition of the character Crouch & Slide.

Update 3 completely revamps Satisfactory with a total rebalance of the game, an endless list of technical fixes, balancing improvements and optimisations to every aspect of the factory sim. Alongside bug fixes, texture improvements, a host of new models and the beginnings of a dynamic wind system, the Jump Pads now affect creatures and physical objects too, for lots of satisfying bouncy chaos.

“Pipes are, unfortunately, the star of this show. I have been meme-tormenting our community for over 1.5 years while doing everything I can to stave off the inclusion of pipes.” said Jace Varlet, Community Manager, Coffee Stain Studios. “I resorted to blackmail, conspiracy, and anonymous threats within the company but alas, pipes managed to claw its way into an otherwise perfect video game. All I wanted was to be happy. Community 1 – Jace 0.”

Satisfactory is available now on the Epic Games Store, and will be launching on Steam Early Access soon.

Metro Exodus Sam’s Story DLC Out Now

LARKSPUR, Calif. (Feb 11, 2020) – Deep Silver and 4A Games are thrilled to announce that Sam’s Story, the second major story DLC for Metro Exodus is out now while also confirming that Metro Exodus will return to Steam on February 15.

Sam’s Story follows former U.S. Marine Sam – a Spartan Ranger who has worked under Colonel Miller since the nuclear war devastated Moscow and followed Artyom in search of a world outside of the Metro. Sam had long dreamed of returning to his homeland and perhaps even finding his father alive. The prospect seemed impossible in the darkened tunnels of the Metro but when the Spartans discovered that Moscow was not the only city left alive after the war, holding out hope didn’t feel so foolish anymore.

Sam, determined to find a way back to the USA, departed from the Aurora to make his way through Vladivostok’s tsunami ravaged harbours, ruined industrial buildings, and crumbling residential districts. However, to complete his journey, Sam will discover that he needs every tactic he has learned so far to survive, as his surroundings prove to be far trickier than expected.

In this expansive ‘sandbox survival’ level, players will experience another gripping story line featuring new characters, weapons and mutant variants, in a huge, non-linear environment that offers roughly five hours of all-new single player gameplay.

Watch the Sam’s Story launch trailer here:

Sam’s Story is available to purchase on Xbox One, PlayStation®4, PC and Stadia for $16.99 – links are available at https://www.metrothegame.com/buynow. It is included in the Metro Exodus Expansion Pass, which also entitles holders to the acclaimed DLC, The Two Colonels, which was released in August 2019.

War Room Announcement Trailer

February 6th, Łódź, Poland. Send units to villages occupied by enemy forces. Attack terrorist bases and hideouts. Manage your troops and equipment using a strategic map and follow battles thanks to a view from a military drone. Complete story missions, but also ensure the safety of your bases and popularity of your actions in each sector through side objectives. However, be careful not to get distracted. Achieve your military goals with special consideration for the humanitarian side of the conflict.

To keep up with all the news and updates from the main base, add the game to your wishlist on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1175880/War_Room/).

War Room is a real-time strategy game in which you manage military units spread across the territory of the Province. Resources at your disposal are limited, and you have to skillfully manage them in order to accomplish each mission. Deploy units to locations where you suspect enemy presence, but think carefully when you decide on their size – assign your forces suitable to the task at hand or you might end up with too few troops ready to fight when you really need them. Take over territory, deploy drones and observe the situation in specific locations in real time. And finally, take control of each of the nine sectors.

Your actions will be evaluated, and good results will be rewarded with additional troops and vehicles, giving you the ability to perform larger and more complex operations.

WAR ROOM MAIN FEATURES:

  • A huge (1000 sq. km) 3D map based on a real map of Afghanistan. Operate within nine sectors, with one command center each. Attack enemy bases and hideouts, push enemies out of civilian settlements, deny them control of any territory.
  • Many hours of exciting gameplay in a single campaign. Begin in one of the sectors where the main base (MOB) is located. Start as a new commander and take over one of the most challenging combat zones of this War. Search and destroy enemies in the first sector and then continue further, gaining ground until the entire province is under your control.
  • Non-linear events. Your patrols and humanitarian missions will encounter multiple scenarios that will depend on the sector security level and population stance toward your troops. Each action you take will have further consequences. There is no single path to success. Determine which areas you wish to focus on and how to guide your forces to dominance over the enemy.
  • Two play perspectives: satellite (management) and drone (tactical). The game is divided into two layers – tactical and strategic. Use the satellite view to manage your forces and equipment. Deploy drones and observe what is happening in real time.
  • Territory control is the main goal of the game. Conduct military operations from the ground and air, eliminate terrorists, clear IEDs from roads, and support your troops with powerful air assets. Experience missions based on real-life operations and events. Take care of the base’s security and increase the popularity of your actions in the sector through the side missions.
  • Patrolling and ‘Hearts & Minds.’ Ensure safety in the sectors you control and win the trust of the local population. Send your forces on regular patrols to project force, search and destroy enemies, protect the construction of civilian infrastructure, provide protection for local elections, or deliver humanitarian supplies to locals.
  • Wide range of units and military vehicles. Execute your actions with a wide range of resources at your disposal. MRAPs of various types and sizes, specialized mine disposal vehicles, main battle tanks, and a wide selection of air units. All possible choices reflect the available arsenal for the Afghan conflict.

Inspired by true events. The provinces and characters in the game are fictional, but most missions and operations in the game are based on real events.
