AD2460: Browser-based sci-fi MMO now available
Norwegian game developer and publisher Fifth Season AS is proud to announce the release of their new Sci-Fi themed MMO, AD2460. The servers are now ready for action, and the developer is encouraging gamers from across the globe to sign up and register to play.
AD2460 has been in development for the past four years, and gamers can log in from almost any device with an internet browser to play, completely free of any plug-ins or downloads together with up to 100.000 other players in the same universe. Based in beautiful Oslo, Fifth Season has been creating and running online games for more than a decade. The company’s current running-game, ManagerLeague (an online football management game) has been online for over 9 years, and currently provides daily entertainment for over 30.000 active gamers worldwide.
Fifth Season practically invented the sci-fi web-strategy genre when it launched the hugely popular Planetarion in 2001. At its peak the game had almost 180.000 players, an impressive milestone for any web-based game of its time. Similar games in the same genre are for the most part direct descendants of that particular release. With AD2460, the developer has returned to the science fiction genre in the hopes of creating a game that will reinvent many of the established game elements. AD2460 is supported by the Norwegian Film institute and the Norwegian Research Council.
AD2460 is a subscription-based game requiring only a small monthly fee to play, offering everyone equal opportunities and options within the game. With no hidden costs, or costly payments required to stay competitive, AD2460 is bringing the focus of web-games back onto the players, and not their pocket.
AD2460 can be played by signing up and registering here: www.ad2460.com
Age of Wulin: Three Expansions On The Way
WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that the martial arts MMORPG, Age of Wulin will release its third expansion in March 2015, leading the way of an exciting roadmap for 2015.
“Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness“, the first of the three expansions scheduled for the first half of 2015, will be released in English and will deliver exciting new features for the players in early March, including 6 new playable Factions, the introduction of the Weather system and many other changes to look forward to.
The month of March will bring changes in the vast world of Age of Wulin, as the adventurers’ allegiance to their Sect will be put to the test as they will have the opportunity to betray their peers and join one of the 6 Factions. Each of these Factions possesses its own skills, vying with those of the 8 existing Sects and which will surely attract newcomers in their web. Players can pick one of the following Factions:
Golden Needle Shen Family, Beast Villa, Xu Family Village, Rootless Clan, Shifting Flower Palace, Peach Blossom Island. Or they can decide to join another Sect of their own choosing, or become a true vagabond with no affiliation to any of the groups in the Jianghu.
Bringing more realism to the already rich game experience, Age of Wulin will see a 4-stage day and night system, giving different lightning for morning, noon, dusk and night. Additional weather effects will be added, including snow, solar eclipses, storms and more to enjoy.
“We are delighted to announce the latest news on the upcoming expansion, “Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness” for Age of Wulin through our global game portal, WEBZEN.COM.” said Richard Sunmyoung Moon, Head of Global Business at WEBZEN. “Beginning with the first of the three expansions “Chapter 4: Betrayal & Forgiveness” in March 2015, the Age of Wulin team will regularly reveal more features of the latest expansion and in-game events on their website.”

Smite 2015 World Championship Season 2 Preview Interview
DizzyPW interviews Todd Harris about the awesome visual changes coming to SMITE in season 2!
Smite‘s Conquest map will be undergoing a serious overhaul in preparation for the game’s second competitive season.
The 5 versus 5 map which gets used in eSports events as well as by regular players has been reworked with the triple goals of increasing legibility of the play area, improving strategic play when you’re playing or countering different classes of characters, and just generally de-clunking the game.
What this means in real terms is ocean vistas, a volcano dripping lava, reworked neutral minions, changes to how leashing works and so on.
More details about the SMITE giveaway will be provided in MMOHUts’ News Recap next week!
