Rotterdam, The Netherlands – December 6, 2018 – SOEDESCO has revealed the first gameplay trailer for Truck Driver, the trucking experience that’s on its way to PlayStation®4 and PS4 Pro, as well as the family of Xbox One devices including Xbox One X. In this trailer, players can get a first glance at the different features that Truck Driver has to offer. Two important aspects highlighted are the variation of clients and cargo in Truck Driver, and the focus on career progress in the game.
Meet new people
Truck Driver is all about meeting different people that could really use the services of a trucker to achieve their goals. One of these people is lumberyard owner Sven, who has a hard time letting people into his life. By successfully completing transport jobs for Sven, his trust can be earned, resulting in new jobs with different sorts of cargo. Helping him with his transport needs will visibly make his company grow bigger and bigger.
Career progress
In addition to earning respect, completing jobs also results in more money for the player. Drivers can use this money to revamp their trucks with tons of different parts, customizing the look and performance of their truck to better help clients such as Sven. By taking on jobs from Sven and other local business owners, Truck Drivers can also unlock lots of skills, passives and rewards. These unlockables result in useful enhancements such as improved tire durability or the possibility to drive longer without having to rest. In sum, Truck Driver offers everything drivers need to take the road to success!

London, England – December 5, 2018 – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and Two Point Studios™ are delighted to announce (and release!) the ‘Two Point Hospital™ – Bigfoot’ DLC today, available for £6.99 on Steam. Let’s join Two Point County News Network anchor Trent Darby, as he breaks the news in the latest trailer: https://youtu.be/DSV0KR6pCMM
In the Two Point Hospital – Bigfoot DLC you’ll take on a range of new administrative challenges in Two Point County’s namesake Pointy Mountains, where you’ll find three new hospitals, three new treatment rooms, a collection of new wintery items and furnishings, 34 new region-specific illnesses (including 9 visual illnesses), as well as new challenges, features and a new, very hairy, VIP…
Local celebri-yeti Bartholomew F. Yeti, the otherwise reclusive furball, has been petitioning for better healthcare in the Pointy Mountains, home to the most frequently forgotten people in all of Two Point County. Mr Yeti will need your help, curing new illnesses such as Cold Shoulder, Bard Flu, and Aurora Snorealis at the Pointy Mountains’ three new hospitals. There’s a medical facility at the Underlook Hotel, a ski resort with more lawsuits than guests; the remote and dilapidated Swelbard Research Institute; and the chance to turn an aristocratic family’s spare, and extremely grand, lodging into a hospital for the surrounding community in Roquefort Castle.
In Two Point Hospital, budding administrators will need to be creative and demonstrate their ability to build, cure and improve in even the hardest and oddest circumstances. Design your hospitals, research unusual illnesses, manage and train often-quirky staff, and try to defeat the fierce healthcare competition of Two Point County.
Two Point Hospital is available on Steam and from SEGA approved digital retailers.

Killing Floor 2 is developed and published by Tripwire Interactive and is published at retail by Deep Silver and Iceberg Interactive for the Xbox One, Xbox One X, PlayStation®4 Pro, PlayStation®4, and PC. This title has been rated M by the ESRB, PEGI 18, USK 18.

Now a two-day event as of Mech_Con 2018, attendees are treated to a full schedule of live presentations, developer Q&As, and hands-on demo opportunities for the latest MechWarrior titles, as well as front-row seats for the final matches of the 2018 MechWarrior Online World Championships.
