Miscreated

Miscreated is a 3D survival MMORPG developed by Entrada Interactive LLC and is available for purchase on Steam Early Access for PC. In Miscreated a world-wide war has monumentally decreased the human population due to nuclear warfare and the spreading of radiation sickness. A company created a vaccine to cure the radiation sickness, but it ended up reacting poorly with the sickness and resulted in the mutation of those who were vaccinated. Now your priorities have switched from helping the war effort to merely fighting for survival in a lawless world of mutated creatures and other survivors; some friendly, some not so much.

Features:

Full Day Cycle: Miscreated’s world implements a 24 hour day/night cycle that is determined based on the server you are connected to.

Permanent Death: Death in Miscreated is permanent, resulting in the loss of all of your items. You and other players will be able to pick up your lost items at the place where you were killed.

Open World PvP: Players can fight against each other at anytime, anywhere. Remember that survival is your number one priority, so you will have to make sure that your friends can be trusted with your life.

Resource Management: Both food and water levels will affect a player’s efficiency. These levels will need to be carefully managed and kept high if players want to function at maximum performance.

Today Hi-Rez Studios revealed the first details for the SMITE World Championship presented by Xbox One (SWC), which will close out Season 2 of the action MOBA and eSports sensation SMITE.

 

From Jan. 7 to Jan. 10, 2016, teams from North America, Europe, Brazil, Latin America, China, and, for the first time, Oceania (including Australia and New Zealand) will compete for the grand prize and the title of SMITE World Champions at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, Ga. The 2016 SWC will feature two thrilling tournaments: the SMITE PC World Championship and the SMITE Xbox One Invitational.

 

“The 2015 SMITE World Championship made SMITE an instant leader in competitive gaming entertainment,” said Todd Harris, co-founder and COO of Hi-Rez Studios. “This year, in collaboration with Microsoft, we are excited to debut the SMITE Xbox One Invitational which marks the arrival of MOBA eSports on console.”

 

Hi-Rez Studios recently revealed it will cap the SMITE PC World Championship prize pool at $1 million in an effort to distribute winnings to a greater share of SMITE players at events throughout the season. The company plans to award well over $2 million in crowd-sourced prizes across the span of this Season, thanks in part to community initiatives like the SMITE 2015 Season Ticket and individual team-branded Treasure Chests.

 

The SMITE Xbox One Invitational will bring together four top teams from SMITE’s emerging new Xbox One competitive scene, competing for a total prize pool of $150,000.

 

Harris will be speaking about SMITE and eSports as a guest speaker at the Develop Conference in Brighton, England on July 14, where he will provide additional information on the 2016 SWC.
