October 2, 2018 – Hardcore Action RPG The Surge gets brand new content today with the new expansionThe Good, the Bad, and the Augmented, out today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Warren will need to contend with not only the mad doctor’s nefarious traps and allies, but his jeering taunts and endless jibes as well, as he dives ever deeper into the Old West challenges presented in the DLC. See the new gear, unique Challengers, and brutal executions in the epic Launch Trailer, released today.
Enter the bowels of the CREO facility and explore an old and abandoned Quality Assurance lab created to push CREO’s tech to the limit. Warren will face Dr. Rischboter’s deadly test chambers that, for some reason, feel torn straightout of a twisted Wild West TV show!
Cowboys, American Indians and Mexican bandits populate this atypical scenery – but whether they are accomplices of the mad doctor, or unfortunate victims of his madness, none has been spared by the ‘Surge’, and all will fight to the death. There’s a new Sheriff in town… and he’s got his hands full.
Fight through the mad doctor’s training rooms and try modifying them yourself for increased rewards by combining up to 4 of the 16 insane modifiers available. At the end of each stage, fight against distinct Challengers, powerful opponents forged from the training scenarios who are equipped with 30 unique new equipment pieces – armors, weapons, and implants – that you can take for yourself!

Once your masterpiece is complete it can be uploaded online and shared. We’ve created specific forums for players to talk about their creations, creating threads for everything from asking for advice to providing a space for narrative to link a selection of maps that they’ve made. Maps can be found easily in-game through various search and filter tools, including for map creators.

LONDON (September 27, 2018) – SQUARE ENIX® is thrilled to announce that Life is Strange™ 2, the next entry in the critically-acclaimed and award-winning franchise from DONTNOD Entertainment, is now available.
The first entry in the all-new five-episode season of Life is Strange 2, is out now on XBOX ONE®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
Discover a story of two brothers, 16-year old Sean and 9-year old Daniel Diaz, who have to flee their home in suburban Seattle after a tragic event that changes their lives forever. Further complicating matters is the manifestation of an exciting new power that has wide implications on Sean and Daniel and the relationship between them. Things may never be the same again.
The story of Life is Strange 2 takes place over the course of a year, as Sean and Daniel try to make their way from Seattle to their fathers’ home town of Puerto Lobos, Mexico.
Life on the road is difficult and there are many shades of grey; there is never a truly ‘correct choice’, there is only your choice. Daniel is watching your every move, and he is learning from your actions, so consider your decisions carefully!
The key aspect of Life is Strange 2 is this role model dynamic between the brothers. The decisions you make in Episode 1 will have far-reaching consequences and will influence the relationship with Sean’s little brother Daniel over the course of the 5-episode season.
“We are incredibly happy to finally share this new Life is Strange story of brotherhood and coming of age with the world,” said Raoul Barbet and Michel Koch – Co-Creative Directors of Life is Strange. “We hope fans will embrace our new story and characters with the same passion they showed for the first season.”

“Life is Strange is a franchise that is near and dear to our hearts here at Square Enix External Studios, and we are very proud to share the first Episode of Life is Strange 2 with players all over the world,” said Jon Brooke – VP of Brand Marketing at Square Enix External Studios. “It’s an exciting first step into a brand new season of Life is Strange, and a great new entry in the vast interconnected Life is Strange Universe we are building.”
(SAN FRANCISCO) – Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, announced the Razer Nari Ultimate wireless gaming headset with Razer HyperSense, advanced haptic technology that delivers an added dimension of touch to gaming, movie and music experiences.
Razer HyperSense was developed together with Lofelt™, a German engineering firm that specializes in creating haptic technologies for immersive, natural, lifelike experiences.
“Lofelt is committed to raising the standard for haptic feedback to match the high-quality audio and video we’re used to in today’s devices.” said Daniel Büttner, chief executive officer at Lofelt. “Teaming up with Razer is an incredible opportunity for us to demonstrate the value of the cutting-edge technology we developed. I’m thrilled we are at the forefront of realizing the true potential of advanced haptics and can’t wait for gamers to level up their gameplay with the Razer Nari Ultimate featuring Lofelt’s haptic technology.”
Razer HyperSense utilizes haptic drivers that generate multidimensional haptic feedback, enhancing positional awareness with stereo capabilities. The technology works across all formats of gaming, music and movies without specific integration by converting audio signals into tactile feedback in real time.
The Nari Ultimate was also engineered with innovative comfort technology that includes an auto-adjusting headband for a fuss-free fit, swiveling ear cups to fit every head shape, and cooling gel ear cushions that keep gamers feeling cooler for longer periods of time compared to traditional memory foam ear cups. The cooling gel ear cushions feature hidden indented eyewear channels for a more comfortable fit with eyewear, as well.
The Razer Nari Ultimate also utilizes THX Spatial Audio which was introduced with the Kraken Tournament Edition. This feature creates realistic depth and immersion by simulating 360-degree sound with pinpoint accuracy for greater awareness during gameplay. The headset has game/chat balance, and it works in both wired and wireless mode for added compatibility across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.
Razer Co-Founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan said: “Razer consistently creates products with innovative technology to give gamers the best gaming experience possible. With the Razer Nari Ultimate, we are championing a whole new way for gamers to feel their games through Razer HyperSense.”
The Razer Nari is available in three versions: Razer Nari Ultimate, Nari, and Nari Essential. The Razer Nari Ultimate described above delivers the most gaming audio value for gamers at $199.99. The Razer Nari at $149 omits Razer HyperSense while mirroring the Razer Nari Ultimate in comfort, sound technology and all other features.
