HOUSTON – Oct. 15, 2018 – Six Foot has announced that Dreadnought, the free-to-play tactical shooter featuring massive capital ships, has officially launched* on Steam for Windows PC today. Titled Command the Colossal, this launch update to the game includes a new visual look with new UI enhancements, as well as support for two additional languages: Russian and simplified Chinese. PC players can link their Dreadnought and Steam accounts to continue playing with their existing achievements.
“One of our top priorities is bringing all our players new and unique experiences throughout the year. These latest technical advancements allow us to ensure new game content and updates for players everywhere at a higher pace than ever before,” said Six Foot COO Christian Svensson.
To celebrate today’s launch, Six Foot has released a new animated lore trailer featuring many of Dreadnought’s spaceships and ship manufacturers, as well as a new spotlight on the devastating conflict at the heart of the game.
Dreadnought is all about team-based spaceship action in 8v8 matches across exotic locations around our solar system. Command your fleet of over 70 customizable vessels from five specialized classes, unlocking more advanced ships, modules and more as you fight for fame, riches and glory. Battle with friends and players around the world in competitive modes like Team Deathmatch, Onslaught – in which players battle both the enemy team’s ships and neutral AI vessels – and Conquest, where players capture, link and hold territory through strategic maneuvering.
Dreadnought is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB. For the latest updates, follow Dreadnought on Facebook, Twitter and Twitch.
*A post-release update will add Havoc mode and the ability to play custom matches to the Steam version of Dreadnought. Six Foot will have additional information about this update after launch.
October 15, 2018 – The final chapter in the Beyond season, and the largest Elite Dangerous update of the year, arrives in 2018 with new, significant additions to exploration, mining, multiplayer and more. Elite Dangerous: Beyond – Chapter Four provides all-new features and upgrades for every Commander, all completely free to every Elite Dangerous and Elite Dangerous: Horizons player on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Beginning October 23, a staged beta for Beyond – Chapter Four will be available to all PC Elite Dangerous and Elite Dangerous: Horizons owners. Over the course of the beta, players can get hands-on with all key aspects of the update, including:
Exploration
A new Analysis Mode, with the improved Exploration Discovery Scanner and Detailed Discovery Scanner, is a game-changing, brand new way for all Commanders to explore the galaxy. After an initial scan of the system, players will then be able to tune their scanners to find stellar bodies and other phenomena. Unidentified Signal Sources and conflict zones will also appear, allowing players to easily track down interesting or important things within the system. Not only is this new system a more realistic, satisfying and engaging exploration experience, but also provides players with the freedom to make more informed decisions on where to look next, and be ultimately better rewarded for time spent exploring. Commanders will now have probes that can be arced onto planetary surfaces, and planetary rings, to map them in detail, locate points of interest and leave their mark on the galaxy in a new way.
Mining
Asteroid belts and planetary rings are about to get very busy. New tools and mechanics will provide a fresh, exciting and lucrative mining experience for all Elite Dangerous Commanders. Using new exploration mechanics, miners can investigate rings to locate the best spots to start their mining sessions. With the right amount of skill and expertise, Commanders can create an awesome asteroid detonation before sweeping up the spoils.
Squadrons
Squadrons is a new way of uniting like-minded Commanders in Elite Dangerous. Players will be able to take part in Community Goals together and compete for top spots, and bragging rights, in weekly leaderboards. New communication tools such as in-game chat channels and a new web portal, give players the freedom to manage their Squadron and collectively blaze their trail across the galaxy.
More
There’s a number of additional improvements coming to Elite Dangerous, including visual improvements, background simulation updates, and (yet to be revealed) new ships and cockpit interface changes.
Prior to the introduction of the beta, Frontier will be hosting a number of deep-dive livestreams with developer guests, showcasing each key facet of Beyond – Chapter Four.

October 15, 2018 – With the haunting season in full swing, mobile sensation World of Tanks Blitz is pulling out all the stops with seasonal treats – and a few tricks as well. World of Tanks Blitz is happy to present Mad Games, a limited-time Halloween event, created in collaboration with Mad Max: Fury Road’s Principle Vehicle Designer and Concept Artist Peter Pound.
Pound has created two new tanks which will only be unlockable for the duration of the event – the Tier V Scavenger and the Tier VII Gravedigger. In order to obtain the Scavenger tank, players need to earn 50 victories in battle, while the Gravedigger will require them to complete a set of battle missions. These two tanks are part of the Artists’ Signature Series that began with legendary Gundam designer Kunio Okawara’s tank, the O-47.
“Working together with the World of Tanks Blitz team, I was able to create some unique designs and given creative freedom,” said Pound. “With Mad Max: Fury Road, I was focused on car designs but the challenge here was taking tanks and making them even more heavy metal! I enjoy a challenge and it was a cool experience. Now I hope everyone enjoys the hard work put into these steel beasts.”
Alongside these two unlockable powerhouses, Mad Games will feature an exclusive game mode in a brand new post-apocalyptic map. This mode will bring sandstorms to World of Tanks Blitz for the very first time alongside other powerful abilities like invisibility, shields and armor restoring – adding some ghoulish new abilities in honor of Halloween.
To set the mood for this year’s festivities, World of Tanks Blitz created a post-apocalyptic garage, added holiday flair to maps and even added some unique tank customization options that are sure to spook even the most battle-hardened veterans. Famous tanks from past Halloween events, including 2015’s Tankenstein and 2016’s Dracula and Helsing, will also be available during Mad Games.
Players can take part in Mad Games exclusively from October 17 – November 12. They won’t want to miss it!
World of Tanks Blitz is a free-to-play mobile MMO action game built specifically for tablets and smartphones. Inspired by the PC version of World of Tanks, World of Tanks: Blitz delivers all of the action, teamwork and strategic gameplay the series is known for, all in a portable and instantly accessible experience.
