Siege of Centauri Receives September Release Date

Siege of Centauri Beta 3

Stardock announced that on September 12th, 2019, Siege of Centauri will officially release. Set in the Ashes of the Singularity universe, players will take on the role of a defender of Earth’s first Proxima Centauri colony. The intense tower defense action will go on through increasingly difficult scenarios, in their mission to defend the colony at all costs. Important decisions will be left to the player on how to best set up their defenses on each map. Siege of Centauri is presently in Early Access on Steam for 14.99.

Derek Paxton, the lead designer had this to say:

“With tens of thousands of enemy machines pouring toward your base, we wanted to give players a very new experience of what it means to defend themselves against overwhelming odds. In addition, we’ve incorporated several strategic elements into the genre, including defending resources and deploying rapid response teams to battle. Our goal was to provide players with difficult choices about which areas to defend and which areas to let go, leading to greater strategic depth.”

Deadly Premonition 2

Rising Star Games and TOYBOX are proud to reveal the most requested Rising Star Games sequel: Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise. Scheduled to release on the Nintendo Switch in 2020, TOYBOX are bringing back the original Scriptwriter/Director Swery, and Producer Tomio Kanazawa. Art Direction will be done by Shuhou Imai, with music composed by Satoshi Okubo. The distinct Deadly Premonition style will definitely be upheld with this sequel.

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is an open-world game set in the small town of Le Carré. Your story starts in Boston, where it turns out FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan will have to revisit the case he thought was solved in 2005. You will be solving various murders and crimes while jumping between 2005 and 2019 in true Deadly Premonition fashion.

Swery himself spoke up about the sequel:

“Roughly 10 years have passed since the original was released in 2010. Now, a miracle has happened, and I have a chance to reunite with my best friend –  something I never thought would be possible.

I’m working hard day and night while also looking back on the past to make sure this becomes something that doesn’t change no matter how much time passes, while also adapting to and interlocking with the current era – a game that encompasses all. Please get yourself a cup of coffee and wait for it to be completed!”

Endless Space 2 Begins Pre-Orders for ‘Awakening’ Expansion

Amplitude Studios revealed the next exciting expansion for Endless Space 2: Awakening, and have begun taking pre-orders. A once vast galactic empire has fallen into decline, and it’s up to you to restore it to its former glory. The next expansion for Endless Space 2 will feature a new faction, the Nakalim. This technologically advanced society’s mission is to acquire powerful relics and reconquer ancient territories.

They have a heavily defended exploration fleet, an affinity for Influence, and a special relationship with the Academy. They can also negotiate with the galaxy’s most famous heretic, Isyander, if you’re bold enough. The expansion can be pre-ordered for 12.99 on Steam, and it will release on September 12th, 2019.

Features of “Awakening”:

  • Nakalim – This new major faction has a large technology headstart, but with weaker science, depends on discovering lost Relics to learn new technologies. Their relationship with the Academy allows them to gain control over other systems through the Influence of their temples.
    • Four new Heroes – The Nakalim are explorers, warriors, and believers. Use these heroes to master exploration and for developing systems and diplomatic influence.
    • New fleet – Re-discover and take control of your ancient territories with heavily defended exploration-oriented fleets.
  • Minor Faction – Xirmisala – Dust-sensitive philosophers whose skills were defined by the community via a Games2Gether vote.
  • Academy empire – If you had one question for Isyander, what would it be? Finally, the Academy becomes an empire with the ability to manage star systems, fleets, & colonize new worlds. Contribute to their expansion, and you will be duly rewarded with special Academy roles that will give you special powers & bonuses, as well as access to the Academy’s own fleet of impressive ships.
