Shards of War

Shards of War is a sci-fi themed MOBA game by BigPoint. The gameplay focuses more on action with a much more faster pacing than your MOBA game, with faster respawn times, no lanes and shorter matches.

Features:

Twice the action – in half the time: Forget about long lane-phases and jump straight to the action to feel the rush of fast-paced, 20-minute matches.

WASD controls: Play with intuitive direct controls to experience the most intense MOBA battles. WASD let’s you seamlessly control your Sentinel with run and gun action.

Original setting: a dystopian future: On a dystopian, future Earth, the boundaries between realities have fallen and parallel Earths clash for supremacy… and survival.

Improved team-play: Team Levels: There is no I in team. You fight together. You win together. In Shards of War every action accounts for you AND your friends. And this has a direct effect on your entire team.

Dying Light: New Humans Vs. Zombies Mode Revealed

Dying Light

Today Techland released a new gameplay trailer for Dying Light to showcase the asymmetric multiplayer aspect of the game. Featuring a game-changing day & night cycle, unprecedented freedom of movement, and vast open world with 50+ hours of gameplay, Dying Light will also offer a full-fledged co-op multiplayer for up to 4 players – with a twist.

“The game is absolutely huge as it is, but to provide the ultimate zombie survival experience, we added an extra element of unpredictability to our nighttime gameplay” – says Dying Light’s Producer Tymon Smektala. “Online players can face the threat of a possible invasion of their game by the Night Hunter, an extremely powerful, human-controlled zombie mutation. These invasions are an inherent part of Dying Light, available on all platforms for all online players from day one. However for our hardcore fans who pre-order, we’re offering them a bonus – Be the Zombie – which lets you actually take control of the Night Hunter and invade online games of other players.”
