TORONTO – Sept. 4, 2018 – Entertainment One’s (eOne) Emmy® Award-winning studio Secret Location, and creator of critically acclaimed VR titles, including Blasters of the Universe and Sleepy Hollow: VR Experience, revealed Transpose today, an all-new puzzle gaming experience coming this fall. Set in a dreamlike universe, Transpose challenges players to record multiple overlapping versions of themselves that need to work together to solve increasingly intricate puzzles. In room-scale VR, players will use their spatial problem-solving skills to manipulate their past actions and the environment with VR’s motion tracking capabilities by recoding players’ movements and playing them back in real time.
With three unique worlds containing over 30 mystifying levels, Transpose features nearly 8 hours of gameplay that challenges players to collect and sacrifice energy to power up a mysterious ancient machine. Transpose is a first-person game designed to fully leverage the experiential aspects of virtual reality by accessing the fourth dimension within the three dimensions of VR.
“VR is all about wonder, and we wanted to encapsulate that in a game that extends our perception of what’s possible in VR through a lengthy and fully-realized experience,” said Ryan Andal, President and Co-Founder at Secret Location. “Transpose’s heavy surrealism is our attempt to, literally and figuratively, completely turn you on your head and transport you into a warped reality you’d never be able to experience otherwise – this is when VR is at its best.”
Transpose will include features such as:
“Echo” Time Loops: Players must solve puzzles by recording their own actions to create multiple instances of themselves, called echoes, and coordinate their echoes from various time loops to sync up and solve puzzles together;
Real-time Motion Capture: Transpose records players’ every action, allowing them to see copies of their characters mimic their actual movements almost immediately after being enacted;
Perspective Shifts: Set in a mesmerizingly surreal world, Transpose allows players to rotate the environment around them to walk on walls and ceilings, experiencing perspective shifts and multifaceted puzzles in ways only possible in VR.
Transpose will be available this fall on PlayStation®VR, HTC VIVE™, Oculus Rift and Steam for $19.99 USD. The game is not yet rated. Transpose will be available in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean. Secret Location produced Transpose with the support of the Canadian Media Fund and Ontario Media Development Corporation.

Showcasing the various characters you will encounter on your journey through the Stolen Lands of Golarian, Pathfinder: Kingmaker’s newest trailer also highlights some of the impressive combat your party will undertake – including eye-popping spells, hard-hitting and terrifying fantastical creatures and gives fans a glimpse at the enormous scale they will encounter when the game launches later this month.
Join our intrepid adventurers as they kick-back a little and discuss their next exciting risk filled quest in the Tavern Trailer:
Pathfinder: Kingmaker will take players on a tour of the dangerous and turbulent Golarian territories well known within Pathfinder fandom. The story will revisit familiar characters and well-known locations of the series’ lore while also treating players to brand new adventures, deadly foes and unforeseen twists and turns. Fans of the original Pathfinder tabletop RPG will experience its epic, heroic universe in an entirely new way with Pathfinder: Kingmaker, while video game fans will discover their favorite genre in a more contemporary light with lush 3D graphics that bring the universe to life.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker will challenge a player’s aptitude as both an adventurer and ruler, as they will be able to claim explored lands and carve their own kingdom from the wilderness. Kingdom founding will go beyond simple stronghold-building to become a true reflection of the hero’s character and choices made throughout the game. Each kingdom will be a living thing shaped by alignment, choices, allies and the hero’s ability to lead his or her people.

August 29, 2018 – Combine an endless procession of nobles claiming “But of course I’m the rightful king!” with brutal edged-weapon warfare, and what do you get? Buckets of Anglo-Saxon claret, that’s what.
Watch history repeating – in glorious technicolor – right here:
Now available for A Total War Saga: THRONES OF BRITANNIA, the Blood, Sweat and Spears pack uncorks the gore with limb-lops, beheadings and artisanal arterial arcs. It’s available to purchase now on Steam, and absolutely free to those who already own the Blood & Burning pack for Total War: ATTILA.
Also live now via auto-update is the Allegiance Update for Thrones of Britannia. This major overhaul updates and rebalances many areas of the game based on player feedback. Introducing greater depth and granularity to politics, improved battle AI and a new system for issuing decrees, the update also heralds the new Allegiance mechanic – a system which simulates the trials facing a faction that expands to capture new territory. For more on the update, check out this video.
The Anglo-Saxon era was truly a brutal one, and not just on the battlefield. Spare a thought for hapless Edmund Ironside, whose brief seven-month tenure as King of England was cut cruelly short on 30th November, 1016. No glorious death in combat for our Edmund however: he was knifed on the privy. What a way to descend from the throne.
