August 28, 2018 – Focus Home Interactive and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. veterans at Vostok Games are excited to launch Battle Royale FPS Fear the Wolves into Steam Early Access. Fear the Wolves has already seen tens of thousands of players battling across Chernobyl during the beta period, which has allowed the team to roll out multiple updates and improvements in preparation for the Early Access launch. The focus for the last few weeks has been on ironing out the performance and bug fixes, but stay tuned for a content roadmap in the near future which will give insight on the exciting (and game-changing) new features still to come!

The game introduces intense player-versus-environment elements to the Battle Royale formula, including deadly radiation hazards, roaming mutant wolves, dynamic weather and a unique endgame extraction system, all within the atmospheric environments of a decaying Chernobyl:

To secure the top spot out of 100, players must worry about more than just survival. While it’s possible to win a game through simply being the last alive, the helicopter extraction adds a whole new dimension to endgame strategy. In the final stages, all remaining players will be alerted to the arrival of the helicopter, which will hover over a fixed area before dropping a rope – and there’s only room for one. Will you rush to be the first to attempt an escape in the hope no one else is there yet? How will you deal with the oncoming assault of not only players, but mutant wolves, anomalies and radiation? How will your squad ensure a teammate survives the intense haul up to the chopper? We’ve seen an incredible range of creative strategies for this endgame, and we can’t wait to see what players come up with over the coming months.

Enter the battle for Chernobyl, as Fear the Wolves is available now on Steam Early Access. The launch of the full game is planned for 2019, including a release on consoles.

Join us for a developer livestream at 19.00 CEST/18.00 BST/ 13.00 EDT / 10 PDT for a Q&A session and giveaways along with live gameplay on Focus Home Interactive Channels.

August 27, 2018 – CD PROJEKT RED, creators of The Witcher and GWENT, are proud to present the first gameplay recording of their upcoming open world RPG — Cyberpunk 2077.

“What we’re releasing today was recorded from a game deep in development.” — says Adam Badowski, Cyberpunk 2077 Game Director and CD PROJEKT RED Head of Studio. “Since many of the assets and mechanics in the current version of Cyberpunk 2077 are most likely to be modified, we initially decided to show this gameplay only to media. Elements like gunplay (both in terms of visuals and how RPG stats influence it), netrunning, car physics, or the game’s UI — everything’s pretty much still in the playtest phase and we felt uneasy about publicly committing to any particular design. Animation glitches, work-in-progress character facial expressions, early versions of locations — all this made us hesitant to release what you’re about to see.”

“However, we are also well aware that many of you want to see what the media saw.” — adds Badowski. “Although this is probably not the same game you’ll see on your screen when we launch, we still decided to share this 48-minute video with you. This is how Cyberpunk 2077 looks today. Let us know what you think!”

NICOSIA, CYPRUS (AUGUST 23, 2018) — The first trailer for World of Warships: Legends, the naval warfare console game developed by Wargaming St Petersburg, has dropped at gamescom 2018. Besides offering a huge collection of historically accurate warships, the game provides a custom-tailored experience for the console audience.

“Legends has been built with console gamers in mind and to fit their needs. Much like we did with World of Tanks: Mercenaries, we’ve looked at how console and PC truly differ in play styles and preferences and tailored the experience with that in mind. Battles are more action-packed and take place between smaller teams, controls are reworked, and much more,” said Victor Kislyi, Founder and CEO of Wargaming. “This is far more than a port of the PC version, it’s a whole new game — right down to overhauling the graphics engine — which makes everything bigger and brighter on consoles.”

World of Warships: Legends features a variety of different commanders, each with their own playstyle and perks. It’s important players not only level the commanders up to make their fleet more effective, but also build a collection of these heroes so they can be used on several different ships with varying playstyles.

Along with overall gameplay changes to offer console gamers a custom experience, the graphics engine for World of Warships: Legends has been significantly reworked to make the most of console hardware and provide stunning visuals for Xbox One, Xbox One X, PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®4 Pro.

World of Warships: Legends provides action-packed, fast-paced 9v9 naval battles. Players take command of history’s most iconic warships, all of which are recreated in accurate detail, and rip apart the biggest man-made sea monsters. The game is scheduled to release in 2019.
