Q.U.B.E. 2
You are Amelia Cross, a stranded archaeologist who has mysteriously awoken among the sand swept ruins of an ancient alien landscape. Together with the distant help of another survivor, you must solve the puzzles of this forgotten world to find a way back home.

A Masterpiece of Fear
Layers of Fear is a first-person psychedelic horror game with a heavy focus on story and exploration. Delve deep into the mind of an insane painter and discover the secret of his madness.

Layers of Fear: Inheritance expands the plot from Layers of Fear and tells the story of the painter’s daughter, who comes back to her childhood home to face her past. Relive her experiences and witness the full scope of the tragedy that has swallowed up the family.

However, we have not capitalized on the potential of our latest two AAA releases. For Ghost Recon Breakpoint, while the game’s quality appeared on track – based on E3, Gamescom, previews and our latest internal playtests –, critical reception and sales during the game’s first weeks were very disappointing. As we have done with past titles, we will continue to support the game and listen to the community in order to deliver the necessary improvements.

At this stage, we have identified three main reasons behind this underperformance:

• First, it is harder to generate interest for a sequel to a Live multiplayer game, when prior iterations benefited from years of optimization. Consequently, we need to make sure there is more time between each iteration of Live games.
• Second, our strategy of introducing gameplay innovations in our games has had a very positive impact on our brands. However, to win over players, these innovations need to be perfectly implemented in order to offer an optimal experience. This has not yet been sufficiently the case with Ghost Recon Breakpoint. While the change of formula has been very well received by some players, with an average daily playtime per player of over three hours, it also has been strongly rejected by a significant portion of the community.
• Finally, Ghost Recon Breakpoint did not come in with enough differentiation factors, which prevented the game’s intrinsic qualities from standing out.

We are tackling these issues head-on and already are implementing significant changes to our production processes. We are confident in our capacity to adapt and evolve, as we have done successfully many times in the past.

When Bloody Harvest begins, Maurice will offer you a repeatable mission that must be completed in order to reach Heck, the spooky setting for Borderlands 3's Bloody Harvest. Maurice kindly asks that you collect a certain amount of Hecktoplasm, an item that drops from slain Haunted enemies. You'll encounter Haunted enemies all over the galaxy during Bloody Harvest; you'll know them by their ghostly green glow. Once you've collected enough Hecktoplasm, Maurice will open a portal to Heck aboard Sanctuary III that will transport you to the creepy domain of Captain Haunt and his undead minions.

Once you've managed to stop shaking in your boots at the sheer spookiness of Heck, you'll have to fight your way through an undead army of Maliwan soldiers who are rising from their graves with ambitions of revenge. You'll also encounter freaky fauna including flying, fire-breathing Rakk-o'-Lanterns and wretched Ratch that've gorged themselves on blood. Deep within the depths of Heck lies Captain Haunt, the bony final boss of Bloody Harvest.

Techland and Valve have teamed up for a homage to the critically acclaimed cooperative first person-shooter, Left 4 Dead 2, by creating a 4 day crossover event within Techland’s huge hit Dying Light.

In this 4 day event commencing October 24, 2019, Zombie slayers will experience an increased number of Virals, waves of attacking hordes, an intensifying fight for survival, along with an increased amount of guns and ammo at your disposal.

Those who complete the challenges will be rewarded with three event exclusive Gold blueprints that will let them craft the following iconic Left 4 Dead 2 weapons (Electric Guitar, Frying Pan, and Golf Club) to use in Dying Light.

The four day event starts on October 24th, and will be available for both PC and console players. After the event concludes the standard blueprints for the Left 4 Dead 2 weapons will be available as a free DLC.

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels enables players to relive the events of the first season of the Netflix series, taking the side of either the Medellin Cartel or the DEA in two distinct campaigns. In 1980’s Colombia El Patrón’s influence is rapidly expanding, with drugs, corruption and crime spreading out from the Colombian town of Medellin. America is now starting to take notice and it is up to the players to choose their side. They can help the Narcos’ drug empire rise to the top under the watchful eye of El Patrón, or topple the growing criminal enterprise alongside Steve Murphy as the DEA.

Based on the hit Netflix series from Gaumont, Narcos: Rise of the Cartels features iconic locations and characters from the show, offering players the chance to step into the criminal underworld alongside characters such as El Mexicano, Murphy, Peña, Primo and more - each with their own unique gameplay abilities and perks to help turn the tide of battle. Players will explore familiar scenery from the show and take a pivotal role in world-altering events that will define and shift the war on drugs. The series’ stylish visuals and immersive storylines provide the perfect backdrop to a vivid strategic experience.

Fans of tactical turn-based games will experience an exhilarating new take on the genre, with units on both sides moving one after the other or multiple times within one turn and the opportunity to counteract by taking direct control of the units at critical moments. Players will be able to form their own team from a variety of class-specific roles, upgrade their skills and join leading characters on the path to dominance. Players must plan their moves wisely as each action will have lasting consequences.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is an epic re-imagining of one of the most celebrated and iconic first-person action franchises in video game history. The game features three modes of play: an action-packed Multiplayer mode, a tactical and cooperative Special Ops mode, and a single-player Campaign, all wrapped into one entertainment experience. Like many blockbuster films, the game features exceptional cinematic design and it is rated for mature audiences.

The Campaign mode takes players through an immersive narrative that at times requires them to exercise thought, skill, and judgment to navigate some of the issues and challenges of warfare in the modern age. The Campaign is a fictional story that does not represent real-world events.

The main online component of Modern Warfare offers a variety of incredibly fun and competitive modes with loads of customization options. Go up against fellow Tier One Operators in the ultimate online playground!

Enter the world of Special Ops: dynamic experiences where four-player strike-teams work together to stop a new global threat that thrives within the sprawling city of Verdansk, and its surrounding environments.

Modern Warfare also features crossplay and cross progression for the first time in franchise history, allowing players to compete with their friends regardless of what platform they have.

Using a new engine, developer Infinity Ward brings a new level of authenticity through the photoreal, lifelike visuals to give players an immersive experience.

The Battlefield series goes back to its roots in a never-before-seen portrayal of World War 2. Take on physical, all-out multiplayer with your squad in modes like the vast Grand Operations and the cooperative Combined Arms, or witness human drama set against global combat in the single player War Stories. As you fight in epic, unexpected locations across the globe, enjoy the richest and most immersive Battlefield yet. Now also includes Firestorm – Battle Royale, reimagined for Battlefield.

Ubisoft said the cheat makers — including the site owner, called J.V.L. in the lawsuit, as he’s a minor — have violated copyright, are “trafficking in circumvention devices,” and encouraged Rainbow Six Siege players to breach the game’s terms of use and code of conduct.

MizuSoft calls itself “a leading cheat provider focused on providing powerful but user-friendly software.” On its website, MizuSoft also says it has a “clean detection record” and is “deadset on keeping cheat undetected” as a way to keep player’s accounts from being banned. The website has one product for sale, the “Budget Edition Rainbow Six Siege Cheat,” which is sold as a subscription — around $13 per day or $77 per month.

According to the lawsuit, MizuSoft is funneling the money earned through a payment processor linked to a web design firm called Simply San Webdesign, a company purportedly owned and operated by J.V.L.’s mother. Ubisoft said she’s “responsible for collecting, processing, and transmitting” payments made from the cheating software.

Ubisoft said MizuSoft’s cheats have been downloaded and used by Rainbow Six Siege players “thousands of times,” earning the website thousands of dollars each month. The company has reportedly spent “enormous sums of money (and vast amounts of time) attempting to remediate the damage” caused by the software.

After months of training to minimize false positives, we have enabled Minerva’s automation. This began in late August, resulting in her making warning and ban decisions without manual intervention.

If you want to know more about how Minerva’s chat model work, you can read this case study by Jigsaw.

To share some insights with you, in the last few months over 200,000,000 chat messages were analyzed and 7,000,000 messages were marked as toxic.
In her first month and half of activity, Minerva issued 90,000 warnings and 20,000 bans for verbal abuse and spam. Toxic messages reduced from 2,280,769 in August to 1,821,723 in September, marking a 20.13% decrease.

Overall, fewer unique players are sending toxic messages. In August, 247,243 unique players sent at least one message that was flagged as toxic. This decreased to 227,676 unique players in September, decreasing by about 8%.

In order to improve your overall experience, we have decided to refocus our efforts on addressing key issues and bugs. Since the launch of the September Update, we've been taking a deeper look at our internal development roadmap, the way in which we utilise public betas, and the content of our next updates.

Here is a summary of our plans:

• From now and into next year (2020), the updates will focus almost exclusively on addressing recent and longstanding issues, including those reported in the Issue Tracker, ultimately making the game better.
• We are expecting to have a series of these updates, which will be rolled out (approximately) every three to four months.
• Each update will also include a public beta that will run prior to the update's release, with a dedicated time to address major issues that appear.
• The first of these updates will have its public beta in December, with an expectation that the launch will be early in 2020.

As a result of our updated plans, we have made the difficult decision to defer the release of Fleet Carriers. We are now planning for Fleet Carriers to be released in an update in the second quarter of 2020, rather than in December 2019 as previously stated. This will grant us additional time to refine the feature as well as focusing time on addressing existing reported issues. It will also ensure the state of the game is in a better position to introduce Fleet Carriers, that will provide Commanders even more opportunities to interact with the Milky Way. We understand that this delay will be disappointing for some players, but do know that this decision is one that we do not take lightly, and is made with the best interests of the community and game at heart.

Ultimately, we are confident that this will improve the Elite Dangerous experience for all our players.

Yes, you read that correctly. Later this year, all versions of Rocket League on all platforms will include the first three DLC Packs at no additional cost.

Following an update before the end of the year, everything included in the Supersonic Fury, Revenge of the Battle-Cars, and Chaos Run DLC Packs will be automatically available for all Rocket League owners. In other words, all owners of Rocket League will also have access to Dominus, Takumi, Scarab, Zippy, Ripper, and Grog.

As a result, those three DLCs will no longer be available for sale starting today. Rocket League Game of the Year Edition has also been removed from storefronts because it included those three DLCs. Players who purchased any of those DLCs on October 1, 2019 or afterwards will be eligible for a refund through your first-party platform. We'll announce the exact date for when you can expect to see this content added to the base game soon.

Having volunteered for a study conducted by the mysterious Veritas Industries, you find yourself waking up in a small cell with no memory of what happened the day before. It's up to you to break out, explore the sinister facility and solve the path to your freedom - and hope to make sense of it all along the way.

The trailer showcases not only the dark story behind the variety of puzzles filling the halls of Veritas, but also the innovative Glitch Camera - a device that harks back to classic mystery titles where pen-and-paper note taking was needed. Instead, players can take a photo at any time and scrawl their puzzle-solving thoughts straight onto them.

- Triumph over the land, take charge of the fate of China! Conquer territories and fly your colors!
The game’s map showcases the territory captured and the thrill of expansion using a simplified color system. Everything from war to diplomatic affairs will be geared toward managing and gathering land as players attempt to spread their strategies at will across the vast China map.

- More uniquely personified officers to lead to reunite the empire!
Greater individuality among characters will also be on display, with officers from the Three Kingdoms like Liu Bei and Guan Yu asserting themselves at various situations in order to fully immerse players into the game’s rich history.

- Rulers with different convictions and tactics bring about myriad gameplay!
With organisations now determined through each ruler’s ideals, different game experiences are now possible via different rulers. Even within the same faction, different policies now bring with them different strategies for expansion, making the wise use of various officers a cornerstone of advanced gameplay.

Crossroads Inn is a real-time management sim with role-playing games elements. The game consists of two unique modes offering totally different experiences.

In Sandbox mode gamers will focus solely on managing their business and economy – to build their very own tavern, hire and oversee staff, manage the supply chains and create new dish recipes. In Campaign mode, micromanagement is just a prelude to a rich story as the kingdom is in turmoil and a shift of power is expected. Your Inn will soon attract the attention of important political and military figures, who are desperately trying to hold on to the reins of power. Gamers will become part of a large-scale drama full of political intrigues, vivid characters, treacherous NPC’s and dangerous quests inspired by RPG games – You will even have a damsel in distress to save!

A list of features includes:

Vortex Attack EX has been designed to play against friends - lore is secondary. Beating the game or beating each others' hi-scores in local / worldwide leaderboards is what the game is all about.

Playing with friends is a delight! Many an evening will be spent together, trying to beat the game, unlocking new ships (19 different unlocks) and 16 visual styles. There is a lot of replayability through varying characteristics for different ships and different visual styles - the game can change dramatically! Picking the right ship for your skill level and then matching it to your friends' in coop modes will keep you testing choices for a long time.

Fight the enemy swarms on your own or alongside one or two friends and destroy the vortices! The space is full of enemy ships!

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. They form a group of companions, unlock cards and abilities, build their deck and join one of two factions in a war that is ravaging the planet Krenus.

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.
