“The end has come.. and it’s hard to fathom that this award winning series has come to its conclusion.”, said Steve Escalante, founder of Versus Evil. “This trilogy is for those that have been waiting for all three games, now is the time to jump in. We started this adventure with Stoic, nearly five years ago and we couldn’t be more proud of the wonderful partnership we have forged on this amazing series. Congratulations to the Stoic team and their supporters. Together you have all created one of the greatest indie titles of our time.”
Eugen Systems, makers of the Wargame series is pleased to share a first-look for the sequel to Steel Division: Normandy 44, Steel Division 2. Set during Operation Bagration (a gigantic Soviet offensive set in the summer of 1944), Steel Division will let players enjoy massive, frenetic 10v10 multiplayer battles, and hundreds of historically authentic units as well as brand-new, turn-based, single-player ‘Dynamic Strategic Campaigns’. These will offer a replayable experience where players relive history thanks to every detail being realized on a 1:1 scale, from the order of battle down to units, maps, and combat. Each turn will equal a half day, allowing players to plan their strategy and encounters down to the last detail. Steel Division 2 significantly expands on the real-time tactical battles featured in its predecessor, transporting the player to the massive battlefields of the Eastern Front and offering them a chance to command over 600 units fielded by the Red Army and the Axis powers.
“We’ve made a lot of improvements to Steel Division 2 based on direct feedback from our most avid fans of Steel Division: Normandy 44,” explained Alexis Le Dressay, Game Director and Eugen Systems cofounder. “For instance, we know they will love the new single-player Dynamic Strategic Campaigns. But we are planning much more for Steel Division 2. Expect more details about new features and units after Gamescom 2018. The game is a true passion project for us, and we hope players look forward to seeing more as development continues.”
Blossom & Decay is a title in development for both browsers and mobile devices with the goal of creating an emergent narrative in a massive, retro-style MMORPG. They see it as a game world that is constantly shaped by its citizens, and all of the game’s mechanics will serve the idea that the players build and determine everything. This means from respawn points, buildings, cities, networks and quests, even down to laws. The world starts in an empty, vast wilderness with no main quest or ‘Gandalf’ NPCs to guide them. Instead of scripted story-lines, players create their own narratives through a wide set of social mechanics and external pressure from dynamic PvE. Monsters spawn everywhere and drift in higher amounts toward settlements. Monster groups can also be intercepted, diverged and lured. Players must fight as allies to figure out ways to protect their treasures and lands.
There are many levels of play, from being a hermit farmer, being in a mercenary gang, or running a trade clan. The pace will be enhanced by the AI that runs things while players go offline, allowing configuration of their avatar’s tasks and behavior. So you can go from highly involved action combat on PC to asynchronous management of crafting and trade processes with your phone. From active to casual so that time-investment doesn’t become a total advantage. If you enjoy this concept, we encourage you to vote for it on the Square-Enix collective, where it will be promoted for the next ten days. Blossom & Decay can be found here.
“We wanted to develop a title founded on this vision of emergent narrative for years –like a mix that brought together the best of EVE and Ultima, but accessible and playable for a larger user base– and we were astonished how little the topic was addressed in AAA titles. We came from playing pen & paper games and wondered why digital games can not have the same level of “making your own story”? Often, the classic film-like cutscene-narrative as well as the theme park character of large MMOGs seemed to get in the way.”
1C Company has announced that they are working on two new PC titles, both deep and dark tales worth experiencing. The first is the heaven and hell themed, third-person action title, Devil’s Hunt (which will also release on Playstation 4/Xbox One). Devil’s Hunt will see players going to Hell and back again in a battle between Demons and Angels. It’s based on a Polish fantasy novel, “Equilibrium”, and brings to life the battle between light and darkness. It’s up to Desmond to use his fists and claws and must ultimately decide which side of the war he’s on. This is planned for a 2019 release.
The second is a roleplaying game set in the Lovecraft universe, Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones. Stygian is centered around the themes of horror, loss and madness, made famous by H. P. Lovecraft. The upcoming original title developed by Cultic Games offers a mix of rich RPG world building and turn-based tactical combat for PC, Mac, and Linux, represented in an illustrative 2D visual style that manages to be both quaint and terrifying. Players will journey from a doomed Arkham into the depths of the Abyss, creating their own character based on one of eight Archetypes and carve a path through a broken and mysterious world. The game will use a unique Belief System to determine how character sanity is affected by the warped reality they face. It also affects the availability of dialog options, as well as their consequences, in a given situation. Physical combat will be challenging, spellcasting will have dire consequences, and sanity will be strained to the breaking point by unknown abominations. This is also planned to have a release in 2019, and an early demo is now available on Steam.
“Devil’s Hunt and Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones will deliver deep, challenging gameplay and dark, mature themes for PC action and RPG players,” said Nikolay Baryshnikov, VP of 1C Company. “Gamers and media will be able to put these two exciting games through their paces at Gamescom, so please come and see us at the show to experience heavenly gameplay and hellish subject matter!”
