2K and Firaxis Games today revealed that Queen Victoria will lead England in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, launching on Oct 21st for Windows PC.
Queen Victoria leads England in Civilization VI
Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India and Defender of the Faith, Queen Victoria was heiress presumptive at a tender young age. Less than a month after her 18th birthday, her uncle, King William IV passed away, and Victoria became Queen.
She would go on to reign over the British Empire for 63 eventful years, a span of time that saw the Monarch greatly expand its international holdings through military conquest. Her reign is more commonly known as the Victorian era, a period of great cultural, industrial, political, scientific and military change within the United Kingdom, where national conviction and refined sensibilities of morality became the chief ideals of its citizens.
Unique District: Royal Navy Dockyard
The first shipbuilding dockyard, which dates back to 1496 AD, was located in Portsmouth, a town on the southern coast of England. At the height of its power, the British Empire owned the most advanced and intimidating naval force on Earth. The British Navy held a series of facilities around the world where commissioned ships could be docked, refitted, repaired and overhauled for battle.
Unique Unit: Redcoat
The famous (or infamous, depending on which side you stood) Redcoats, British infantrymen dressed in garish red ensembles, were Britain’s stalwart fighting force throughout the majority of its reign as a world superpower. Redcoats were shipped off to do battle for the Monarch in far off lands such as America, Zululand, India, Egypt and more. Even though the loud uniforms made these individuals easy targets for their foes, the rationale was that blood stains were disheartening to the men and so the red clothing would hide this. It did not, as blood does in fact show on red clothing as a black stain.
Unique Unit: Sea Dog
From 1560 to 1605 AD, Queen Elizabeth I gave permission to her “Sea Dogs,” a force of privateers – armored ships owned and officered by private individuals – to attack the ships and colonies of other nations, even if England was not officially at war with them. These “Sea Dogs” were little more than glorified pirates and many spent their lives raiding towns and other ships across the Caribbean.

June 24, 2016 – As we near the July 4th opening of “The Walking Dead” attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood, we’re excited to share another behind-the-scenes video featuring Greg Nicotero, executive producer and director of AMC’s hit-show “The Walking Dead.”
Universal Studios Hollywood recruited Executive Producer and Director of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” and actors who portray Walkers on the hit television series to lead “Walker Boot Camp” as the theme park continues its preparation for the July 4th opening of its all-new permanent daytime attraction, inspired by AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”
Nicotero and “real” walkers lead the “Walker Boot Camp” as they put a cast of actors through the rigors of how to be a walker– move like a walker, stalk prey like a walker, walk like a walker and remain in character like a walker. Every walker nuance was exposed from proper body posture to the juxtaposition of predator versus prey.
“The Walking Dead” attraction will be a real-life interpretation of AMC’s award-winning television series. To elevate its authenticity, Universal Studios Hollywood is partnering with “The Walking Dead’s” creative team, including visionary executive producer and director, Greg Nicotero and his special effects company, KNB Efx. Nicotero’s team, responsible for masterfully creating the show’s realistic decaying walkers, will construct prosthetics, utilize original molds and painstakingly apply paint and detailing to the attraction walkers.

June 23rd, Łódź, Poland. — It’s been just over a year since Out of Reach, an open-world MMO survival game from the Polish Space Boat Studios, debuted on Steam Early Access. Within that time the game has received 30 updates, over 1,000 user reviews (the majority of which are mostly positive), and countless “let’s play” videos on YouTube. The developers have managed to build a solid and constantly growing community that not only clearly enjoys playing the role of a castaway trying to survive on a desert island, but that is also helping to build the game by translating it into many languages, testing new features, and suggesting changes.
Not to disappoint the dedicated fan base, which just recently awarded the developers the Digital Dragons Indie Showcase Community Award, the team continues to listen to gamers’ feedback and is developing the game around it to make sure the final version of Out of Reach will meet all their expectations. To showcase everything that has been done with the game in the past year, Space Boat Studios has just released a brand new gameplay trailer that you can watch HERE.
Out of Reach is currently available on Steam Early Access (http://store.steampowered.com/app/327090/) where you can get a single copy of the game for 14.99 EUR or a four-pack to enjoy with your friends for 45.99 EUR.
Those who say that a combination of thunder storms and sea rocks is the worst thing that can happen to sailors clearly haven’t had to deal with any of that. The real deal starts the morning after, when one wakes up on the beach wounded, wet, and hungry with no tools, shelter, or clothes. All that is left is an unfriendly environment, wild animals, and the will to survive – Anonymous Sailor.
Out of Reach is an open-world MMORPG focused on survival, exploration, and crafting. You’ll begin your journey as a castaway on one of the archipelago’s islands with worn-out shorts and sand in your mouth. What happens next is totally up to you. You can decide to stay, build a home, and make nature your servant, or try to escape by boat to other, more friendly islands with different weather and environmental conditions. Whatever you do, be aware that in order to survive in the wild, you’ll need to explore the plains, deserts, caves, and rainforests looking for food, shelter, and fire. More than once you’ll be forced to face wild animals as well as the islands’ inhabitants, who will not always be friendly.

Do it running, swimming, or sailing in interactive steamer-like boats. Stay alone or cooperate with dozens of other players. Fly around and attack your opponent’s bases from gliders.
