Warhammer: Chaosbane Reveals New Gameplay Trailer

Warhammer: Chaosbane is an upcoming hack ‘n’ slash Warhammer title, where players dive deep into the Old World, at the heart of the Great War against Chaos. Each class in the game will have unique skills and playstyles, and whether players cooperate online or locally, synergy and teamwork will be key to wiping out the Chaos threat and saving the Empire of Man. Chaosbane is also the first ARPG to take place in Warhammer Fantasy, players will embody either a human, high elf, wood elf, or a dwarf, and discover several iconic locations such as the cursed city of Praag, or the city of Nuln, which was the capital of the Empire at the time in which the Chaosbane story is set. No release date was given but is scheduled out in 2019 for consoles and PC.

Long before the reign of our glorious Karl Franz, the bloodthirsty tribes of the North united and invaded the Empire of Man. The Great War Against Chaos raged on, up until Magnus the Pious rallied the citizens of Nuln, resisted the enemy and defeated the Chaos leader, known as ‘The Everchosen’, scattering the invaders in the process. But the forces of Chaos have crawled back from the shadows to strike at the Empire. Unless something is done, the Empire of Man will again descend into darkness and turmoil.”

DOA 6 new characters

Koei Tecmo recently announced that Dead or Alive 6, the latest entry in the popular fighting series is arriving on February 15th, 2019. To coincide with that, they announced several fan-favorite characters that will be returning to the series. The first announced was Ayane. Ordered to hunt down her half-sister, Kasumi, Ayane’s Mugen Tenshin Hajinmon style of Ninjutsu is as fierce as it gets. The “Killer Kunoichi” is joined by is the Swedish martial-artist Marie Rose. The “Wicked Lil’ Servant” has a Russian Military style and uses a series of tricky moves to outmaneuver her opponents, taking them down.

Next up is the “Super-Secret Fighter Chick” known as Honoka. This 18-year-old fan of professional wrestling and martial arts movies invented her own fighting style known as Honoka Fu. While in her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, she is imbued with unbelievable strength.  The last character to join is former professional assassin, Bayman. Known as “The Man Who Overcame Death,” Bayman stands inside the ring with the same kind of coldhearted professionalism that made him such a successful mercenary thanks to his devastatingly-dangerous skills in Combat Sambo. They also debuted in Tokyo the new “LOST PARADISE” stage, where players will contend with massive eggs, Pteradons and a mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex.
