Ultimate Robot Fighting Now Available
Reliance Games, a global mobile games publisher and creator with over 50M downloads across such successful hits as Real Steel and Real Steel World Robot Boxing, today ushers in the future of arena entertainment with the launch of Ultimate Robot Fighting for iOS and Android devices. This single-player action game brings 3v3-style gladiatorial brawling to smartphones and tablets with intuitive gesture controls and powerful HD visuals.
In an age where automatons are made to battle one another for sport, human pilots have proved unable to compete against the sentient AIs that have evolved to rule the ring – until now. As the one person who can end the reign of the machines, Ultimate Robot Fighting gives you control of 45 cybernetic characters, each built to deliver combo-fueled destruction from a multitude of distinct combat styles. A mighty range of upgrades allow you to harden your bot for victory acrossover 250 clashes, including boss encounters.
Manish Agarwal, CEO – Reliance Entertainment Digital said, “Ultimate Robot Fighting brings forth pulsating 3v3 robot tag-team action to entertain players with a wide array of superlative robots, sensational special moves and distinctive fighting styles. The game’s experience has been designed so players can choose characters which fit their identity and reveal who the ultimate champion is in the battle with the sentient AIs.”
Ultimate Robot Fighting features nine environments inspired by real-world settings, a dynamic day and night cycle, and rewarding achievements for sending opponents to the junkyard. These showdowns smash through mobile displays with high-resolution 3D graphics, cel-shaded art design and detailed lighting and particle effects.
Ultimate Robot Fighting is now available to download for free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, as well as Android devices via Google Play.

Defiance – Holidays Arrive in new Paradise Solstice Celebration!
Ark hunters,
Winter can be a trying time for the denizens of the New Frontier. The daily struggle for food and water is complicated by the dangers of exposure. The frontier has a cold, unforgiving heart, and winter lets that frigidity pour out. This is why the people of Paradise still celebrate the old Solstice traditions of feasts, fun, and warm fires. Who could protest such joviality?
The Volge.
If you wanted to know, Volge hate fun. If you think you’ve seen an angry Volge, wait until you’ve seen a Volge covered in snow. Cranky.
We figured if the Volge were dead-set on crashing our Solstice celebrations, we’d just have to make them a part of it – along with a new line of Radiant Solstice weapons that use radiation damage to cut through those hardened Volge hides and dive right to their hearts. (Don’t worry, their hearts won’t be growing three sizes larger. Their hearts will stop. I assure you. If the irradiated bullets don’t finish the job, then the Saturnalia synergy will. It’s like a party and every bullet is invited.)
In addition to the Celebration’s Solstice Strike arkfalls, festive outfits, and heaps of seasonal loot, Ara Shondu is offering a special bounty for ark hunters who are ready to face the Volge now through Jan. 5. Stop enough Volge attacks, and you’ll be invited to Shondu’s Consulate to collect a gift of epic Radiant Solstice weapons.
If you collect five of these gifts in a single week, you can return to the Consulate and collect a special present containing one of twelve named legendary weapons – and yes, you may notice a pattern…
Paradise Solstice Celebration Legendary Weapons
- DC-1 Partridge
- DC-2 Turtle Dove
- DC-3 French Hen
- DC-4 Calling Bird
- DC-5 Golden Ring
- DC-6 Laying Goose
- DC-7 Swimming Swam
- DC-8 Milking Maid
- DC-9 Dancing Lady
- DC-10 Leaping Lord
- DC-11 Piper
- DC-12 Drummer
If you’re more interested in the peaceful side of this year’s celebration, the Tarr Family is sponsoring a scavenger hunt of a sort. Nine unusual reindeer have been spotted across the New Frontier, and the Tarrs will pay good money to anyone who can track them all down.
So, my good ark hunters, the call has gone out. Find Dancer. Find Prancer. And, above all, find the elusive Rudolph with his nose so bright….
Duration: December 17, 2014 to January 5, 2015.

RIFT – Where in the Planes is Grandfather Frost?
It’s time to deck the halls, stoke the fire, and … WAIT, where is Grandfather Frost?!
Fae Yule has returned to RIFT with a ton of new presents in tow, but our jolly master of ceremonies is nowhere to be found. Now through Jan. 7 you can launch Minions on a series of missions to find the absent bogling while you collect new seasonal loot, battle the Golden Devourer world boss, and spread holiday cheer throughout the planes!
New Quests & World Boss
Fae Yule is catching on in the Plane of Water, with new holiday quests appearing at Ghar Station Mem, Ghar Station Rosh, and Port Scuddra. Stock up on Unique Snowflakes as you help the Ghar dream up presents, settle the score between Treants and a winter werewolf, and help the greedy Captain Jake Skyeling retrieve his booty. Then head to the Dendrome for a showdown with the season’s deadliest Grinch, the new Golden Devourer raid boss!
New Minions
Frost may be missing, but all-new holiday Minions are here to save the day. Unwrap a Fae Yule Minion Pack from the in-game store to enlist the help of Nightbringer, Atrophinius, Yulogon, and more. Rumor has it their new Fae Yule Minion Adventures can lead the way to Frost (and even unlock him as your own!).
Pets, Portraits, Weapons, And More
Take time out from the mead-fueled merriments to browse the host of new Pets, Planar Essences, festive Dimension Items, and Costume Weapons debuting this year. Scoop them up for Snowflakes or Credits, check out our new event cloak and (animated!) Player Portrait, or get a Fae Yule Supply Crate for a chance at a 2014 signature Merry Mink mount!
PLUS Classic Fae Yule
Dive into familiar Fae Yule adventures from Freemarch, Silverwood, and Scarwood Reach to Cape Jule, Pelladane, and Ashora. Each zone features a village to build and decorate in the spirit of the season. Completing each village will unlock a special vendor and reveal gifts that the Fae have stolen and strewn about the zone. Collect the Fae’s treasures to complete classic artifact sets!
A Very Merry Whitefall Steppes
Battle in an extra-wintery Whitefall Steppes where one person is “gifted” with a special Yuletide form. Stock your base with presents to win, but don’t be caught holding the Fae Yule Cake.
And Bonus Rewards!
This year we’re adding extra rewards for completing level 65 Expert Dungeons, as well as a special Weekly Quest called Faelight Sparkle. Finish various Faelight activities to collect a Raid 1 item every week during Fae Yule!
Duration: December 11, 2014 to January 7, 2015.

Shards of War: Bigpoint introduces new Sentinel Bastion
Bigpoint reveals today the thirteenth playable character in the science fiction oriented MOBA game, Shards of War. Bastion, the first melee based Sentinel, is an unstoppable juggernaut focusing on space control, initiation and the ability to sustain heavy damage to stay in the heat of battle.
Bastion – Mammoth of Melee
Not a Sentinel of many words, Bastion lets its massive body do the talking. It expresses itself by either hitting out in a cone in front with its Primary Attack, or by slamming the ground around with itself with the Seismic Punch, damaging and slowing all enemies in reach.
An array of disabling and sustaining abilities keeps it in the fight longer than other Sentinels. It should be approached with caution as, using its Concussive Blast, it can knock enemies into walls leaving them stunned and damaged.
Enemies should also fear its rapid entrance onto a crowded battlefield with its split-second Impact Crater skill, whilst the Steel Maelstrom ability allows it to spin at extreme speeds dealing damage and healing itself at the same time.
In short – Bastion is a specialist in terrain control.
”Warning! Convergence imminent.”
Barely avoiding the destruction of its home, Bastion made it to the Prime Shard heavily damaged. It’s only thanks to Gemini that its severely damaged chassis was returned to functionality.
Whereas its speech center remains scrambled, its weapon systems do not. This leaves more than enough options to thunder out a simple message to the armies of the Black Sun when its words cannot: there are always more battles, and more enemies to come.

Armored Warfare: Premium Commander Available for Holidays
Obsidian Entertainment and publisher My.com are ringing in the holiday spirit by giving away a brand new, premium commander to all players who log in to their Armored Warfare account or sign up for beta access before January 18th, 2015.
Each commander in Armored Warfare has a completely unique set of skills and characteristics and are an incredibly important part of a player’s chance at victory in Armored Warfare. This is also true for the unique commander that will be gifted to players, Anthony Diaz.
Anthony was a military career man that worked his way up from humble beginnings as a Private.
