Pre-Season Will Begin with Full Bundesliga Roster in United Eleven
Today, Nexon Europe has announced that the Pre-Season for United Eleven will have the confirmed addition of the entire Bundesliga license to fill up the official roster and add to the many names and faces from the FIFPro selection that are already on offer.
United Eleven is fronted by none other than one of the greatest managers of all time, Carlo Ancelotti, and is inviting fans and managers-in-training everywhere to put their skills to the test in the most sophisticated browser-based simulation game around. With the full Bundesliga license, alongside FIFPro, players can create a team using Bundesliga clubs and logos, and build a squad mixing top players such as Manuel Neuer, Julian Draxler, and Philipp Lahm alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Steven Gerrard.
Mixing players from Bundesliga and FIFPro licenses will require delicate decision-making, especially in regards to constructing stronger team chemistry, both on and off the pitch. Establish your own style of management by altering tactics and formations during the match to drive your hand-picked squad onwards to victory. All this is available for free on your browser, with mobile functionality for when you need to make important decisions on the go.
The Pre-Season of United Eleven, which refers to the beta testing period before the official launch, will start on 15th May, and all are welcome to join the game’s kick-off. The game will be officially launched early June.
“We’re delighted to have the Bundesliga license confirmed, adding to what is now an enormous selection of the world’s top players to recruit from,” said Kenny Chang, CEO of Nexon Europe. “We’re demonstrating the best of the European football scene and through the extensive gameplay options, representing what our main promoter Carlo Ancelotti believes is crucial to success; ‘to react with the personality and character of all.’”

Elsword’s Henrir Dungeon Grows Fangs with new Challenges!
Today KOG Games, publisher of the hit free-to-play action MMORPG, Elsword, lets the baddest of the bad run rampant in the new Elsword update: Henir’s Time and Space!
The typical crescendo known as the boss encounter is an MMORPG staple. You and your faithful group of goody-goodies discover who is or what’s truly behind the big evil scheme that has defiled the good will of the townsfolk, and then you and your buddies band together and bring the big boss monster to justice. You’ve seen these boss monsters in the final stage of every Dungeon, and for the most part, you’ve survived… intact. Well, not this time.
Back with a vengeance, the big bad bosses of Elrios have teamed up to bring you the most challenging, exclusive Dungeon experience in all of Elsword. These baddies go absolutely berserk in back-to-back bouts, leading up to and including the all-new Sander themed Boss encounters.
And that’s not all! Each and every Dungeon run has been ramped up to give dungeon crawling heroes bigger and better rewards for their Dungeon runs. Players have the opportunity to receive rewards for different Henir’s Time and Space Dungeon challenge modes. Players will receive special rewards for one Challenge Mode and three Normal Mode Dungeon instances per day. However, there’s still no limit to the number of times players can enter the Dungeon and receive rewards as they would with regular dungeons.
To add to new Challenge rewards, players can acquire the new Time and Space Aura Gemstone quest from the NPC Glave. Upon successful completion of the quest, players can receive 45,000 ED as well as the Time and Space Aura Gemstone. These Gemstones are used for crafting awesome high-level equipment unique to the Henir’s Time and Space Dungeon.
Think you got what it takes to truly up your game!? Then the new, Exclusive Solo Ranking system is just for you. In order to earn some wicked Time and Space equipment and titles, complete the Dungeon as quickly as you can to earn these cool new items and watch your name go up in lights on the brand new Hero Category Ranking Board.
For those who aren’t as inclined to face the chaos and anarchy of this evil dungeon head-on, there will be fun, in-game Glave themed items in the shop.
Whether you want to tackle the biggest and baddest Dungeon in Elsword with your buddies and share the wealth, or be the hero you’ve always wanted to be and reap all the riches for yourself, answer the challenge of Glave, and enter the halls of Henir’s Time and Space Dungeon!

Astro Lords: Oort Cloud Coming to North America and Europe from BISBOG
The BISBOG Group, an international publisher of online and mobile games, today announced a licensing partnership with Cyprus-based Tartezal Holidings to publish Astro Lords: Oort Cloud for English, German and French language territories. Developed by Aratog Studios, Astro Lords is a free-to-play science fiction, massively multiplayer online game running on Unity 3D.
Astro Lords is the first MMORTS to combine three major game genres in a consistent world: construction management, arcade-style shooting, and strategic raid warfare. Balancing these different genres in one single, cohesive experience was no easy feat – developer Aratog had a full-time team of twenty who spent three years to complete work on this game.
Astro Lords is both a browser and a client game that offers MMO fans a deep and diverse gaming experience. Players manage and grow their asteroid base, their generals board spaceships to shoot and destroy enemy spaceships and bosses, and they raid other asteroids to loot or capture them.
With its focus on delivering high-quality, fun and free games to massively multiplayer audiences, BISBOG sought out the relationship with Tartezal to grow its current offering. Astro Lords is tentatively slated to begin North American and European closed beta testing (CBT) on June 10th, open beta testing (OBT) on June 17th and official launch on July 1st. Beta testers will receive special rewards at launch, like extra in-game currency and other high-priced virtual items.
