Lornsword Winter Chronicle Coming to Steam’s Early Access in May


The brainchild of ex-Creative Assembly developers, looking to bring their own flair to the action-strategy genre, Lornsword Winter Chronicle comes to Steam Early Access on May 30th. The title will also be coming to Playstation 4 and Xbox One, in late 2019. Lornsword Winter Chronicle will feature drop-in/drop-out cooperative that lets players team up with an ally for melee and ranged combat against enemy factions. It also intends on bringing resource management to the action-strategy genre. Lornsword Winter Chronicle is presented in a 3D top-down perspective, and players will be judged by the decisions they make on the battlefield, commanding soldiers and units directly. They’ll also build settlements, capture mines, farms, and search for artifacts in beautiful environments.

Lornsword Winter Chronicle builds on the foundation of classic real time strategy gameplay with an engaging narrative and detailed graphics, but with a more direct and action based control system. Players will need to make some hard and fast choices about sustaining and growing their armies.

The game aims to put a big emphasis on the player experience with a focus on the control system which Tower Five feels is the primary coalition between the game and the player. Tower Five aims to fully integrate a seamless control system by way of a controller with all the intuitive classical actions of an RTS without the need for a mouse.

“We’re very excited about bringing Lornsword Winter Chronicle to Early Access at the end of May,” said Renaud Charpentier, Game Director at Tower Five. “Action strategy games have been in our blood for many years, so we’re excited to deliver our own take on it that encapsulates that collective experience and expertise.”

GRIP: Combat Racing Releases Massive ‘AirBlades’ Update

GRIP: Combat Racing is releasing a massive new update today that will shake the foundations of the futuristic anti-grav race, with a whole new vehicle class. The AirBlade is a new vehicle type and unites two genres from the 90s into one place. Anti-Grave Racers known as “AirBlades” are powered by an Element 115 anti-gravity engine. Like their rolling counterparts, they can also flip over and continue racing.

So instead of rolling, they hover, much as you’d see in F-Zero. AirBlades are available on all original tracks that launched with GRIP, and the new levels that are set out in space, and on top of that, they’re free! This update also adds further features for GRIP: Combat Racing, making it feel like two games in one. Racers can now choose how and where they drive, and it’s sure to make the pulse-pounding speed feel even more intense.

“I’m pretty sure if WipeOut and Rollcage hooked up, this is the baby they’d pop out.’ said Leo Zullo, Managing Director of Wired Productions. “It’s beyond exciting to finally be able to reveal AirBlades, as we see it as a true game-changer and industry first. GRIP: Combat Racing is a fantastic game and, thanks to the mighty talented team at Caged Element with their visionary idea and commitment, gamers are now able to experience an even more truly amazing and unique experience that helps to redefine the racing genre.”
