10/07/2016 - Armored Warfare Opens Public Test ServerARMORED WARFARE PREVIEWS UNIQUE PVP/PVE HYBRID Beginning Today – All Players
May Try Out Global Operations on a Public Test Server
Amsterdam, The Netherlands – October
7, 2016 - Developer Obsidian Entertainment and global publisher My.com are proud to announce that Global Operations,
the revolutionary PvP and PvE hybrid game mode in Armored Warfare, is now open for testing on a Public Test Server.
The recently
announced Armored Warfare: Global Operations is a truly unique game mode for tank genre games. Being
a mix of PvP and PvE, and having a set of gameplay innovations, the new mode makes PvP more spectacular and action focused
– exactly what the true modern battlefield should be in the game.
Watch the new Armored Warfare:

To test Armored Warfare:
Global Operations on PTS, players should download a special Public Test Server Client and follow instructions HERE: aw.my.com/us/news/general/introducing-global-operations-ptsPlease note that the Public Test Server will only become accessible
on October 6 at 8 AM PDT.
The first of the new maps to be introduced in Armored Warfare:
Global Operations is the open desert map called “Desert Crossing.” This map is bigger than any other map so far
in Armored Warfare and features many interactive elements. Bombers flying overhead, AI-control turrets
shooting at teams, and surveillance drones will change the face of warfare in the game for good. Two mercenary forces and
their local allies are clashing over a massive dry dock with an aircraft carrier in “Desert Crossing.” The battles
in Global Operations are time limited and feature up to 15 vs 15 player teams. Each team starts with a pool of points. Destroying
Enemy or AI controlled vehicles and capturing control zones will reduce the enemies’ point count. If the team manages
reduce this point score to zero, they secure victory!
Players can also capture special “Wildcard” objectives
that give them the ability to call in military asset from their HQ, which will tip the balance of the battle in their favor.
The first map contains the following “wildcards:” - : static AI-controlled object firing Anti-Tank guided missiles at enemy forces
- an unmanned aerial asset that can fly above a zone and spot the enemy teams movements with ease.
- A powerful B2 bombing run attack that flies in from off the map to wreak havoc
amongst enemy lines!
- to allow resupply of ammo without needing
to respawn.
These represent just what will be available
during the first release. The system is flexible enough that many new “wildcards” could be created and will make
the battlefields truly feel like theatres of modern war.
Armored Warfare is a free-to-play
massively multiplayer online tactical military game that puts the player into the world of modern warfare. In Armored
Warfare, players get a chance to try the most powerful tools of destruction invented by mankind –
from modern main battle tanks to scouts and wheeled vehicles. Using modern defense systems like anti-missile protection and
smoke grenades, along with various types of armor and ammunition, players can jump into fast paced battles both in PvP mode
and a vast amount of PvE missions.

10/04/2016 - CCP Games Announces Gunjack 2: End of Shift exclusively for Google's Daydream PlatformCCP Games Announces Gunjack
2: End of Shift exclusively for Google's Daydream Platform Sequel to best-selling VR game available November 2016
4 October 2016 –
London, UK – CCP Games today announced Gunjack 2: End of Shift, the sequel to the critically acclaimed
and best-selling VR shooter Gunjack, which is currently available for Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR
platforms. Gunjack 2: End of Shift is created exclusively for Google's Daydream mobile VR platform and will be released
in November 2016.
Gunjack 2 is developed by CCP's Shanghai studio which has quickly become world renowned
as a leader in the creation of quality mobile VR experiences.
"We are extremely excited for the Daydream platform
and what it means for VR" said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP. "Collaborating with Google and developing
Gunjack 2 for their VR platform has been an amazing experience. We started a new chapter for CCP a year ago with
the launch of our first VR title, and now the upcoming release of its sequel on the Daydream platform bears testament to our
commitment to VR in gaming and entertainment."
Gunjack 2: End of Shift seamlessly incorporates the
Daydream controller as players use it to aim and shoot down swarms of enemies, strategically deploy their special weapons,
and activate their energy shields to survive the most dangerous situations. The game will also include daily generated missions,
ensuring endless replayability.
Presence and storytelling are also core to the new title and Gunjack 2: End
of Shift leverages cinematic cut-scenes and voice acting to makes players feel, more than ever, fully immersed and engaged
in the action and narrative of the game.
"Gunjack 2's core gameplay is all about destroying masses
of enemies, and Google's Daydream controller allows us to make that experience even more natural and fun," said Jean-Charles
Gaudechon, executive producer of Gunjack 2: End of Shift. "In Gunjack 2, we're pushing the limits of
what a mobile VR game can be."
In Gunjack 2: End of Shift players are transported to a heavy-duty
mining rig in the Outer Ring of the EVE universe. Part ship and part station, the vast Kubera platform is home, far from the
eyes and comforts of civilization.
Everyone fights in New Eden. Some fight for power. Others for money. But out
here, on the fringes of space, most fight simply to see another day. As a turret operator charged with destroying waves of
attackers, players stand united with their crew mates in defense of the rig.
These are not soldiers, but survivors,
the scourge of would-be plunderers. With a formidable arsenal at their disposal, players will live the life of a Gunjack
and protect the Kubera, its precious cargo and their crew, from bandits trying to blow the rig apart!
