FC Manager: New World Cup Content Available

FC Manager

Leading game publisher Redbana Corporation updates FC Manager this June 30th in celebration of the FIFA World Cup. The free-to-play football management PC game has unlocked two features of the game and launched two world cup-related events.

Managers may now invest in facilities, structures that provide increased benefits in gameplay as they are updated. Upgrade the stadium to increase the number of spectators and profit for each match or put your money on the Youth Academy to increase the quality of youth recruits. Another unlocked option is to upgrade the Training facility to increase effectiveness and decrease the cost of training players.

The new update introduces 36 new Team Colours. Team Colours are additional benefits, like +1 to all starters’ stats once the prerequisites are met. These bonuses and more are available with each unique Team Colour.

In addition to the new content, there are two new events in place until the end of the FIFA World Cup: the Guess Who Wins event, where players must guess the winners of the day’s games to accumulate points for consumption at the points shop and Shout Out!, where managers can shout out encouraging messages to their favorite teams to win $100 FIFA Gift Certificates.

WildStar

Carbine Studios has been rolling out additional details about WildStar’s first “Ultra Drop” – The Strain, continuing today with the announcement of the housing and customization updates that will be coming to the game.

In The Strain, players will get the chance to turn their house into a horrifyingly elegant pad by adding items like bathtubs with claws, giant infected optical nerves, postulant purple barbs and more assorted grossness. In addition, a couple new housing plugs will be available including a Strainmaw mat for your unwelcomed guests and a Phage Form Lab. All of these additions give players a crazy amount of options to truly customize their house and the chance to earn more rest XP when logging out. Carbine is continually proving that WildStar provides the most robust housing customization tools in the genre.

If your character isn’t ghoulish enough, upgrade your wardrobe with some rot couture by collecting each piece of a new ravenous Strain costume. New Strain dyes are also available as well as the sickest hoverboard ever, literally.

Entropy Online

Entropy Online is a sandbox, sci-fi MMORPG focused on ship combat, PVP, and economic competition. Players advance in an open system, free of quest restrictions, and largely focus on the acclimation of wealth and territory in an open world.

Features:

Open Progression: Players are free to pursue all manner of activities within an open game world. Mining, crafting, and trading are large parts of the game’s draw, with ship combat being entirely optional.

Fast-paced Action: Unlike most ship-based sci-fi games, Entropy Online features manual control of ships. The ships are on a smaller scale, but players have total control of their flight, with gameplay more akin to a flight simulator than a point and click RPG.

Complex Cartels: Cartels, which are Entropy Online’s guild system, are capable of not only building star bases, but are also intended to be able to claim large territories in space, and hold them against encroaching enemies.

Deep Crafting: Crafting is intended to be a cornerstone of the game’s economy. No two players will make a single item alike, with multiple crafts resulting in new ways to refine a personal approach. Becoming a manufacturing conglomerate is quite possible in Entropy Online.
