A NEW LEGEND APPEARS: CRYPTO

Cool, calm, and collected, Crypto deploys a specialized surveillance drone to stay in the fight and out of the spotlight.

NEW MAP: WORLD’S EDGE
After multiple suspicious setbacks during the reconstruction of Kings Canyon, the Syndicate has decided to move the Games to the cliffside mining city known as World's Edge on nearby Talos. Legends can explore towering skyscrapers "frozen" by a chemical explosion, then catch a train to ice-covered hills, while avoiding deadly pits of molten lava if they want to be crowned Champion in this new arena.

WHERE IS KINGS CANYON?
For the start of Season 3 World’s Edge will be the only playable map across both regular and ranked matches. As the season progresses we’ll be looking at data, sentiment, and feedback to help us determine the best way to bring Kings Canyon back into the mix.

NEW WEAPON: CHARGE RIFLE
This energy rifle/sniper takes a second to warm up and will do minor damage to players if you keep a bead on them before delivering a mighty blow to whomever is on the receiving end of it. The Charge Rifle is part of the standard loot pool and can be found all over the map.

Of course, a lot of the stuff you can buy in Breakpoint is your standard throwaway stuff – cosmetic gear, weapon skins, ect. – although it’s all pretty expensive. A single plain grey hoodie or vest may cost you $5 or $6, with the game encouraging you to pony up for bundles that may cost over $10 (click images for full resolution).

But the nickel and diming goes well beyond the cosmetic goodies. The game lets you directly buy vehicles, weapons, upgrades for those weapons, skill points used to unlock character perks, and bundles of crafting materials. As of now, Ubisoft is selling bundles of 60 skill points for around $20.

Just being able to buy more or less everything in the game not enough for you? You can also purchase boosters that will let you level up in the Battle Reward system quicker.

Starting today, the next five weeks will all have their very own theme in Borderlands 3, encouraging different in-game activities to maximize your rewards. As of now, Boss Week is live, which will be active until October 8, 2019 at 8:59 AM PDT when the following week’s theme begins. During Boss Week, some bosses will have an increased chance to drop a unique Legendary item. Here’s a full breakdown of Legendary loot drops by boss:

• Mouthpiece has an increased chance to drop Gatling Gun
• KillaVolt has an increased chance to drop Brainstormer
• Gigamind has an increased chance to drop Nagata
• Katagawa Ball has an increased chance to drop Rectifier
• Katagawa has an increased chance to drop Legendary class mods (all Vault Hunters)
• Rampager has an increased chance to drop Kill-o’-the-Wisp
• Warden has an increased chance to drop Echo
• GenIVIV has an increased chance to drop Ten Gallon
• Aurelia has an increased chance to drop Creeping Death
• Graveward has an increased chance to drop Ear Maggot
• Pain and Terror have an increased chance to drop Legendary class mods (all Vault Hunters)
• Troy has an increased chance to drop Nova Berner
• Tyreen has an increased chance to drop Bitch

If you’re looking to expand your collection of unique Legendary loot, make sure to drop in on all those bosses and make them wish they had never messed with you and your Vault Hunter pals. Keep in mind that this is just the beginning of the Borderlands Anniversary Celebration, and while we’re saving some surprises for later, we thought we’d give you an early look at the calendar:

Week 1 (October 1-7): Bonus Boss Loot!

Week 2 (October 8-14): Rare Spawn Hunt!

Week 3 (October 15-21): Show Me the Eridium!

Week 4 (October 22-28): Mayhem on Twitch!

Week 5 (October 29 – November 4): It’s a secret…

The most epic family reunion on the planet is just a month away! BlizzCon® 2019 kicks off on November 1, when the Blizzard community around the world will come together in person, in-game, and online for two days of games, esports, cosplay, contests, fellowship, and fun. Everyone’s invited to join the celebration from home, with more of this year’s main stage content available to watch live online for free than ever before—but anyone who wants to take their BlizzCon home experience to the next level can order the BlizzCon 2019 Virtual Ticket, available to purchase now in the Blizzard Shop.

The BlizzCon 2019 Virtual Ticket ($49.99) comes with a collection of commemorative extras to help players get into the convention spirit in-game, including items for World of Warcraft®, Overwatch®, Hearthstone®, StarCraft® II, Heroes of the Storm®, and Diablo® III, plus more to-be-revealed surprises. The Virtual Ticket also unlocks access to in-depth, comprehensive live coverage of the show, including the BlizzCon All-Access Channel, the Community Night contests on Friday, the closing festivities (featuring to-be-announced musical performances), and three stages’ worth of developer panels that take players further inside their favorite games.

It's been one year and eight months since we participated in Early Access. During this time the game went through many changes, and if you would like to check out the first version of the game, you can download it from the Test Version Build when we fully release the game.

Back then, it's started like a small scale game, which mixed FPS and elements of Grand Strategy, Real Time Strategy, and RPG, with little features and simple graphics. Very soon after release, many media and players start to describe this game as a mix of Mount and Blade, Arma and Jagged Alliance. Then this game started to grow and become more and more unique with more complex systems, lore, and in-depth gameplay mechanics added to the game.

Now the game becomes more like an actual guerrilla warfare simulator, where you need to train civilians to become experienced fighters, equip them with whatever you can get, and fight together for the victory.

Main features:

• One of the most unique features is that you are not only commanding your squads on the strategy map, but also go to fight with them in the first person mode. The player needs to act as both a commander and a soldier to fight a non-stop intense battle.
• Conquering and managing towns in order to finance your war machine.
• In-depth trading system with the option of designing your own trading routes and protecting your trading convoys from enemy ambushes.
• Companions who can act as hero soldiers or as generals who help defend, attack, and manage cities.
• Ability to join other factions' combat or call reinforcement from allies to assist your battle.
• Immersive game lore which can be discovered through dialogues with NPCs.
• Full modding support: Our game supports full modding. We have designed a set of easy-to-learn modding tools for modders to mod the game. The tools will be available after full release. Possible mods of this game can be world war mods, sci-fi mods, etc.

Albedon Wars combines the depth of a strategic card game with the immersive enjoyment of a multiplayer role-playing game. Form a group of companions, unlock cards and abilities, build your deck and join one of two factions in a war that is ravaging the planet Krenus.

Set in a hostile unpredictable world, two ancient rival races are locked in a never-ending struggle for supremacy.

Each player assumes the role of a hero commanding a troop that has to tackle formidable opponents, complete exciting quests, and conquer enemy territories.

A world in continuous evolution, a vast number of collectible cards, a huge range of possible strategies, and a multitude of unlockable abilities, make Albedon Wars an exhilarating, one-of-a-kind game experience.

What will you do?

• Explore: Explore the vast universe of Albedon Wars. Cities, neighbourhoods, shops are there for you to investigate for the greater good of your faction.
• Collect Card: Increase your collection of cards by exploring hidden dungeons and defeating enemies. Every zone has unique cards to discover and collect!
• Collect Units: The more you travel the more people you will meet. Convince them to join you to make for a powerful (yet balanced) group. Strategize!
• Collect Resources: Gather precious resources for your faction while your travel. Albedonite is running low and citizens rely on you! Participate in a common goal!
• Strategic Fight: Fight for the control of valuable and strategic zones on the world map.
• Tactical Fight: Learn a completely new Card Game where enemy destruction is paired with zone control for the ultimate tactical challenge.

In Six Temples, players choose 1 of 10 heroes per match, compete in robust procedurally-generated maps, and fight for territory among 36 players by capturing six of the map’s temples.

The title brings engaging melee combat, jaw-dropping magic abilities, incredible and diverse battle characters, competitive timed matches, and environmental destruction all in robust procedurally-generated arenas. The game’s Private Beta is slated to open sometime in October, and interested players can sign up by going to www.sixtemples.com for a chance to play.

“With Six Temples, we drew inspiration from the greatest fantasy titles and wove it into a new kind of multiplayer game with large-scale territory control mechanics,” said Dan Fry, the game’s creator and founder of Camel Cup Graphics. “With a healthy variety of heroes and consistently fresh maps, this is a competitive, yet balanced multiplayer game with tons of replayability.”

For the Private Beta, Six Temples offers players:

• Three valiant heroes to choose from: The Barbarian, The Wizard, and The Mercenary
• One full-sized dynamic map, Acropolis (tropical, semi-arid ), and a training mode, The Lookout (an arena map floating in the sky)
• Competitive conquests in large-scale battles with three teams of 12 players
• Temples, Shrines, and magical Artifacts hidden in the landscape for teams to locate and capture to expand their territory
• Engaging melee and physics-based combat where you can experience real-time simulation on a mythic scale

The game is the brainchild of Alan Flores, a 20-year game industry veteran who was the lead designer on Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero Metallica, Band Hero, Tony Hawk's Project 8, Tony Hawk's Underground 2, Sports Champions 2, and more.

In Drums of War, you hit the drums to the beat of the music to walk. Go “offbeat” … and your orc will veer off to one side! You can also bang on the side drums to turn – allowing for full 360 degrees of movement. But wait: There’s more! Your drums are also a powerful arsenal. The two center drums fire off deadly cannonballs – and you can also use the stick to throw fireballs. Take the fight to the dwarves, destroy their villages, and reclaim the right to once again call yourself “King of the Mountain.”

“After a repeat viewing of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, inspiration struck. Wouldn’t it be an amazing experience to storm through a battlefield as a giant troll drummer pounding on drums and laying waste to everything in your path?” says Alan Flores, lead game designer and founder, Grind Core Games. “The only problem was: How does one get the feeling of actually beating drums without a drum kit? Fast-forward to a few years later – and the idea wouldn’t go away no matter what I tried. By then, the new generation of VR headsets suddenly became commercially viable – and the rest, as they say, is history!”

Drums of War features an original score by Gabe Castro – composer of the indie hit The Forest and featured in Blasters of the Universe, HBO’s Vice Principals, and Portlandia. The game also includes ear-blasting tracks from popular metal bands Warbringer and Exmortus.

KEY FEATURES

• Enjoy full 360 degrees of freedom in both movement and combat.
• Experience visceral music rhythm gameplay in VR!

GamesIndustry.biz - Excessive crunch is bad for business.
"But the question management should be asking themselves is not: 'How do we meet this deadline?' Rather, it should be: 'Is this deadline achievable under normal working conditions?' And that question should be asked in a much earlier phase of the development.

The topic of crunch has come up in different roundtable discussions between different companies as well. From senior employees and management we sometimes hear about "passionate employees" as the reason for the overtime, shifting the blame for the crunch on the individual employee. Our survey shows the opposite -- 60% of respondents credited crunch to bad planning and pressure from management. Only 4% credited it to collegial culture."

“We applaud any member who stands up for workplace fairness and the integrity of their creative work. It is a courageous decision to act in the best interests of one’s fellow SAG-AFTRA members and this honors all working people.

The misguided decision by Gearbox to deny their performers the opportunity to have fair union wages, a safe workplace and the possibility of health care coverage for their families, is unfortunate.

We attempted to sign Gearbox to a union agreement. They refused and disengaged from those talks.

We look forward to hearing from any Gearbox performer who is interested in the many protections a union agreement offers actors.”

Troy is an exceptional talent and we were disappointed that he declined to partner on Borderlands 3 after being offered the part. We wish him the best and hope he knows the offer to collaborate with him still stands. Gearbox is a Texas company and is bound by Texas law – which means that a person cannot be denied employment because of membership or non-membership in a labor union or other labor organization. As a talent-owned and talent-led organization, Gearbox enthusiastically works to ensure our pay and working conditions meet or exceed union standards. We also believe strongly in hiring local voice actors whenever we can which is why we’re thrilled Troy’s career really took off after working with us.

Rabbids Coding is a game created to be a fun and engaging educational experience, giving people the tools to get excited about learning to code. Players are tasked with cleaning up a spaceship that has been overrun by the Rabbids, which can be achieved by either providing simple instructions to a Rabbid wearing a mind-control device, or by dropping sausages in their line of sight. The game doesn't require any previous knowledge of coding at all; instructions are simple and can be dragged from a menu, placed in order, and tested with the play button. Didn't get the results you were expecting? Don't worry, just see where it went wrong, move some things around, and try again!

Rabbids Coding has been created to allow you to play with the concepts of coding, without constant supervision or instruction from a teacher. It gives you the independence to learn at your own pace, whatever your age. Your goal in each level is to provide the simplest instructions possible to get the task done. Once you've proven yourself in the basics, a sandbox environment becomes available, allowing you to explore and play with the instructions to see what you can do.

There’s something spooky in the woods... And it needs your help!

Your walk home takes an other-worldly turn as you become lost in a dark, mysterious forest. Join a mystical battle to protect the supernatural inhabitants from those who are trying to level their home for profit. Team up with 30 ghostly companions – each one lending its unique magical ability to help you on your way. Explore beautifully realized environments in this spine-tingling scrolling action adventure brimming with surprises and original character designs. Working together, everyone has a ghost of a chance to safely make it home.
