Remnant: From the Ashes Showcases Ward 13 and the Mysterious Labyrinth

Perfect World Entertainment offers a flyover of more of the world of Remnant: From the Ashes. Today they show off Ward 13, and The Labyrinth. Ward 13 is as close to home as players will have, and will serve as their base of operations. The Labyrinth, however, is a boundless dimension and physical connection between other planes. It is comprised of floating islands which are connected by suspended pathways. This will grant access to worlds severed temporarily from the World Stones, but other mysteries could definitely lurk here.

Players that want to jump into Remnant: From the Ashes early can pre-order the game now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Arc and Steam for guaranteed VIP Preview Access ahead of the game’s launch on August 20. For exclusive character armors, and a bundle of survival materials to gain an edge on the game’s many challenges, pre-orders can be done here.

Desperados III – Closed Beta Announcement

Desperados III is an upcoming real-time tactics title, and it was nominated for “Best Strategy Game” during E3 – though sadly it lost out against John Wick, which is only fair. Players can sign up for this Closed Beta at this link, and it will begin on Tuesday, July 9th. The test will end on July 21st, 2019 as well. THQNordic and Mimimi are looking for 500 participants, who will get to play the game, which is presently entering the final stages of production.  The full game plans on arriving on PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One this year (2019).

“This is not the a “pre order now to play the game before anyone – but we don’t really need you feedback because release is in just two weeks”-closed beta, people might be used to nowadays. We really want to invite the community to play the game while it’s still under construction and share their thoughts and wishes with us. And we want to have the time to react to the players’ input and to optimize the game together.” says Dennis Huszak, Narrative Director at Mimimi Games.

WARSAW to Launch on PC in September 2019

Independent game publisher Gaming Company are working with Pixelated Milk to release a WWII tactical RPG, coming to Steam this September – Warsaw. Warsaw will have players leading the Polish underground resistance against the city’s Nazi oppressors. Recruitment, developing and managing of your fighters is key as you take them into battle in an immersive urban warfare setting.

Warsaw will blend RPG and strategy elements, requiring careful management of resources, as these – ammo, supplies, and people – are all finite resources. They will also need to scout carefully and make sure their hideouts are secure to make sure each of the city’s zones can be liberated. With a beautiful-hand painted art style WARSAW’s character, enemy and environment design is the product of months of research and consultation with historical experts to create fully accurate uniforms, weapons, city layouts down to the stylized font used in the UI.

Features:

  • A mix of tactical RPG with a touch of strategy
  • Team and equipment management
  • A deep system of interlocking skills
  • Flanking, cover, positioning, weapon range and ammo consumption – all need to be taken into account during firefights
  • A fully realized city to traverse
  • Leave the safety of your hideout to scout the streets, collect resources, recruit new members, and engage with enemy assailants
