Dreadnought PC Open Beta Gets New Game Mode

HOUSTON and BERLIN – April 26, 2018 – Six Foot and independent developer YAGER have released a new content update for the free Windows PC open beta of Dreadnought, the class-based spaceship action game, introducing a new, objective-based game mode: Conquest. Still in development but available now as a playable preview, Conquest pits two teams against one another, battling to capture and defend control points through careful positioning and dominance around the map.

Dreadnought’s unique spin on this classic game type is territory linking, which encourages higher level strategy for offensive and defensive fleet formations and tactics. Territory in Conquest isn’t fixed – it shifts in real time with the movements of players’ ships, as well as the control points they hold. Ships generate their own areas of influence, but when allies move close to one another or a control point, their territories will link and expand. But links can be severed if an enemy player intersects between linked points, flips a control point, or kills a linked player’s vessel, pushing the tide of battle back and forth with every moment.

Dreadnought puts players in the captain’s chair of massive capital ships on the front lines of competitive team-based battles across a variety of multiplayer game modes. There are more than 50 playable vessels to master, each customizable with an array of weapons, modules, coatings and decals. Five distinct ship classes, specializing in tactical roles like frontline assault, long-range bombardment, strategic support and more, offer captains unique powers to exploit the enemy team’s weaknesses and claim victory.

Dreadnought is in free open beta on Windows PC and will arrive on Steam later this fall. It is also free to download on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. For the latest updates, visit www.dreadnought.com, and follow the game on Facebook, Twitter and Twitch.

Milan, Italy – April 25, 2018 – Milestone is proud to announce MXGP PRO will be available for PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Windows PC®/STEAM on July 10 in the Americas.

MXGP PRO is a brand-new game, designed to satisfy even the most passionate fans who want to live the Motocross experience. Based on community feedback, the title has been revamped using a new method called the “mechanical approach” to deliver a more realistic feel. Players will be able to customize nearly every aspect of their bike, based on real values and metrics.

The crucial knowledge gained from previous titles in the MXGPfranchise has led to this new experience, which enhances racing by refining gameplay. This is what PRO is supposed to mean, a videogame with a new soul and it will feature:

A new Bike Set-Up system, which enables players to customize nearly every aspect of their bike, based on real values and metrics;
A unique physics approach, which grants the player limitless movements with a reworked system of grips, collisions, and in air behaviors;
Even more realistic rider movements, integrated with the bike and affected by the bike’s impact on different terrains.

To make the game experience even more authentic, Milestone signed an exclusive partnership with Tim Gajser, Tony Cairoli, and Gautier Paulin. Thanks to their feedback, MXGP Pro is going to feature a new level of realism. Tim Gajser explained how to have fun whipping, scrubbing, and passing through whoops sections. Tony Cairoli provided his feedback on Start & Braking Precision, including how to take advantage of the Starting Grid and time your brakes. Finally, Gautier Paulin explained how to control the ruts and take corners at top speeds.

“This year we have been able to completely redefine the physics and the entire gameplay experience of MXGP,” said Luca Simonotti, Lead Designer at Milestone. “We started from the analysis of suspension, we compared the pressure with fork extensions as well as single shock-absorbers using the same values of official MXGP athletes’ bikes; the same process has been done with the ECU mapping. Moreover, thanks to the exclusive partnership with official MXGP riders Tim Gajser, Tony Cairoli, and Gautier Paulin we have been able to receive qualitative feedbacks on areas of improvements towards the whole development process. It has been a unique experience for us to be on track with them and we are proud of the results achieved.”

After securing the most powerful bike aligned with their riding style, all players will have access to a never-before seen tool that will help them conquer any circuit in any weather condition. This is why The Compound in MXGP Pro becomes an essential practice area. From flat terrains to the most challenging ones, The Compound is a free space to train and develop your driving skills.

MXGP Pro will be for PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Windows PC®/STEAM on July 10 in the Americas.
