Digital Extremes launched a major new update to its top downloaded Free-to-Play console hit Warframe® today.  The Tubemen of Regor Update for Xbox One and the PlayStation® 4 System includes a completely upgraded performance experience, with vastly improved framerate, that now supports squads of up to EIGHT Tenno in Trials, a newly introduced game mode to combat old enemies, form new alliances and bring balance to the Solar System in an even bigger Co-op experience.
 
In addition to across the board performance improvements, the Tubemen of Regor Update gives console players a variety of new gameplay, weapons, customizations and more.  Read on for a list of the major highlights to the Update. For the full list of additions, visit warframe.com.
 
Major highlights of the update include:
 
UPGRADED PERFORMANCE — The latest update brings noticeable improvements to frame rate across the entire game. Players will see impressive gains on both the Xbox One and PS4™ whether they’re playing solo or the newly added 8-player Trials.
 
8-PLAYER TRIALS — The Law of Retribution is the first 8-player Trial mission available in Warframe.  The new mission type takes all the skill and cooperation that veteran Tenno have accumulated and puts it to the ultimate test.  Players must band together to pursue Grineer mad man, Councilor Vay Hek to defeat him and his reign against the Tenno once and for all.
 
TWO NEW EVENTS — Upcoming events extending the depth of gameplay over time.
Operation False Profit: Stop Corpus boss Nef Anyo and his new Bursa assault robots before they become a mortal threat to Tenno everywhere! This Operation is on now on both consoles and runs until June 11 at 2 p.m. EDT for PS4 Players and June 12 at 5 p.m. EDT for Xbox One players.
 
Operation Tubemen of Regor: Tenno have the opportunity to strike at the heart of Tyl Regor’s secret cloning labs, but this opportunity comes with a difficult choice. Help Nef Anyo? Or, help Alad V? Available to both PS4 and Xbox One players from June 17 at 2 p.m. EDT to June 25 at 2 p.m. EDT.

NEW WEAPONS:                                                                                                                      

BOLTACE – An intimidating Tonfa set designed to match the design of the Boltor. DAIKYU – It takes great strength to draw back, but provides added power and range.
ATOMOS – This particle cannon generates condensed beams of super-heated plasma designed to melt rock to ore, and enemies to molten slag.

DAIKYU: Daikyu takes great strength to draw back, but provides added power and range to every shot.

TONKOR: Hurl mayhem and destruction at the enemy with the Tonkor! Grenades from this Grineer launcher explode on impact. Use their blasts to propel yourself to new heights!
 
CONCLAVES EXPANSION:                                                                                                           
NEW GAME MODES: Players can work with fellow Tenno to shut down the enemy team in Team Annihilation, capturing Oro dropped from each player kill to earn points toward victory, or work against seven other Tenno in a deathmatch free-for-all in Annihilation.
NEW MODS: New PvP Augment Mods are available for Valkyr Hysteria, Ember Fireblast and Oberon Reckoning.
NEW MAPS: Canyon Settlement, Freight Line, Navigation Array and Docking Bay have been added to the Conclave Map rotation.
 
NEW TRIALS: Nightmare Trials are even more challenging encounters than the Law of Retribution Trials and are designed for experienced groups of Tenno. Harder hitting enemies, new traps and tweaks to each of the existing encounters in the Trials of Vay Hek push a squad’s coordination to the limit.
 
NEW CUSTOMIZATIONS:
CAGGRO SUGATRA – Expressing the martial finesse and skill of its master, the Strekk Sugatra is based on a Grineer design.
ADVENTUS ARROW SKIN COLLECTION – A collection of unique arrow skins compatible with any bow. Includes the Cattaril, Sylus and Meer Arrow Skins. Each Skin is also available separately for purchase.

Age of Wulin: New Expansion for June

Age of Wulin: New Expansion for June News Header

WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, announces that the martial arts MMORPG Age of Wulin will release a new expansion on June 16th, named Chapter 6: Blood & Flowers.

 

Following Heaven’s Ascent, Chapter 6: Blood & Flowers brings many exciting features and challenges for the Age of Wulin community with Lingxiao City, a new player battleground, the Flower Prince competition, the Partner System and a new instance to discover: Island of Delight.
 

The icy gates of Lingxiao City open with Chapter 6, as players take charge of the defence or siege of Lingxiao City. Players will be attributed a faction at random, between Snow Mountain Sanctuary, Valley of Frozen Souls or Blood Sabre Clan, and will either fight off fierce invaders or become a defender of Lingxiao City itself.

 

The Shifting Flower Palace is one of the most secretive Factions, versed in the martial arts with ruthless warrior maidens, seeking revenge against the men who wronged them until now. Once a month, the Shifting Flower Palace will open the doors of this restricted Faction to male characters for the supreme title of Flower Prince, but not without setting conditions. The top ranked players in several categories, if they accept the invitation, will be bidding and fighting to become the new Prince of the Palace. Access to the Shifting Flower Palace and the title won’t be the only rewards, as the Flower Prince will receive also the Ancient Skill Set of this Faction to cultivate and a special outfit to parade in.
 

The Jianghu is a dangerous world and Chapter 6: Blood & Flowers will bring a new feature enhancing the social aspect of the game: the Partner System. Characters can build loyalty and befriend other characters choosing to do so. This new ally can be summoned during battles and allows players to learn from their own Combat and Internal skills among the options.

 
A new instance is introduced in Chapter 6: Blood & Flowers, the Island of Delight which follows the events of the Silver Hook Sword Boat from the previous expansion. Only the seasoned players can enter this instance to challenge the Hell King and unravel the illicit activities taking place on the Island of Delight.

 

More information about “Chapter 6: Blood & Flowers” will be revealed on the Age of Wulin website: http://en.wulin.webzen.com.

Old School RuneScape goes Hardcore as part of Summer Special

Old School RuneScape goes Hardcore  as part of Summer Special News Header

Jagex Games Studio – creators and custodians of the fantasy MMORPG, RuneScape – have let out a rallying cry for applications to Old School RuneScape’s debut competitive tournament. Players can now register their interest in the contest, which runs 24th – 26th July and has a total cash prize pot of $10,000.
 

The tournament will incorporate three different game modes: King of the Hill, First to X kills, and Last Team Standing. Eight teams of five players will battle across the three-day competition, which will be hosted in the Clan Wars area of Old School RuneScape. Teams will be selected based on their eSports pedigree and game skill, with the whole epic confrontation tournament broadcast online.
 
The competition is the highlight of a packed summer and autumn for Old School RuneScape, which will also see the launch of two new slayer bosses – the Abyssal Sire and Cerberus – as well as a fresh player vs. player (PvP) mode: Deadman. This latest mode offers new and existing players the opportunity to experience a hardcore version of the game, where all areas of Gielinor are PvP-enabled, and players risk large amounts of in-game wealth and experience.

 

“This summer, we can’t wait to adapt Old School RuneScape for the eSports community and watch teams battle their way to victory in this inaugural $10,000 competitive tournament,” said Mathew Kemp, product manager on the game. “We’re also looking forward to seeing how players tackle the unrelenting challenge of Deadman Mode later in the summer, as well as seeing how they shape up against the two new slayer boss monsters.”
 
The Old School RuneScape tournament, Deadman Mode and slayer monsters are all part of a wider summer spectacular across the RuneScape family, which started with this week’s arrival of Tuska – the World Eater – in the main game.
