You can now pre-order Ashes Of Creation and receive bonuses

Kickstarter funded fantasy MMORPG game, Ashes of Creation is now officially accepting pre-orders via its brand new storefront. Pre-Order Packs start with access to Beta 2, and go up to Alpha 1. , and the higher tiers come with access to both Alpha and Beta test phases, as well as a generous amount of gametime and exclusive cosmetic items.Each month, the pre-order packs will contain new cosmetic items. When you first purchase a pre-order pack, you will get that month’s cosmetic items. Players can purchase cosmetics within the next months’ packs as add-ons, but once a month passes those cosmetics will no longer be available. The earlier you buy-in, the more chances for cosmetic items you’ll have.

Additionally, Kickstarter backers and Summer pledge driver backers will be able to purchase cosmetics as add-ons without having to purchase a pre-order pack. And of course, if you purchase a pre-order pack, you’ll get extra entries into future Alpha test drawings.

“We’re nearing the most exciting time of Ashes of Creation’s development. With the Alpha Zero test right around the corner, and more Alphas and Betas planned throughout 2018,” said Creative Director Steven Sharif. “We’re well on the way towards launching the revolutionary MMORPG of our dreams, and we could not do it without an unbelievably amazing community supporting us”

When it launches, Ashes of Creation will cost the mere price of a monthly subscription to play. No additional purchase of the game client will be necessary. Intrepid Studios will continue to make drawings for Alpha Zero testing phases, so there’s no need to purchase the game to get in. Simply signing up on the site for an account will grant users an entry into the drawings. While Kickstarter and Summer backers will get an additional 15 entries. The only way to guarantee alpha and beta access is to pre-order.

Set in a fallen fantasy world untouched by civilization for thousands of years our players will rebuild, repopulate, and rediscover this uncharted realm. The world of Verra is ever changing with ruins, beasts, and cities that rise and fall. Weaved into a progressive character system where players hold all the power, the fates of creation are yours to command.

Ubisoft announced that all players, including those who do not own the game , can take part in the first 'Open Test' of the new For Honor dedicated servers infrastructure from December 14th at 13:00 UK time (6:30PM IST) to December 18th at 01:00 UK time (6:30AM IST) on all available platforms (Xbox One, PlayStation 4 & PC). The Open Test for dedicated servers is the next step in bringing the new online infrastructure to the game in 2018. Participants will also receive bonus in-game rewards based on their participation and can also be entered in a raffle to receive exclusive For Honor rewards.
For Honor Season 4

The Open Test will take place on a custom test client fully relying on dedicated servers. Participants will be able to use the full roster of heroes in 1v1 Duel, 4v4 Dominion and 4v4 Tribute modes. Those who are interested in participating can pre-load the test client for free on all available platforms starting December 13th at 13:00 UK time. All in-game rewards earned from participation in the Open Test will be granted to the players’ main game accounts after the event, and will carry over for new players who purchase the main game. Full details on the rewards for participating in the Open Test can be found on the For Honor website: www.forhonorgame.com/opentest .


The transition to dedicated servers is an improvement eagerly awaited by fans and a major milestone in Ubisoft’s continued support on For Honor. Since the game’s launch, the development team has made over 30 updates to the game, including the release of six new Heroes, six new maps, new modes, ranked play, additional customisation options and more.

“The team has worked tirelessly on the implementation of dedicated servers, while at the same time reinforcing and improving the current online infrastructure. This has already led to a better online experience for our players,” said Stéphane Cardin, Senior Producer at Ubisoft. “By participating in our Open Test, players will help us deliver the best experience possible at the official launch.”

In For Honor players embody warriors of the three Great Factions – the bold Knights, the brutal Vikings and the deadly Samurai – fighting to the death on intense and believable melee battlefields. The Art of Battle, the game’s innovative combat system that puts players in total control of their warriors, allows them to utilise the unique skills and combat style of each hero to vanquish all enemies who stand in their way.

Payday developer announces GTFO at The Game Awards 2017

The​ ​newly​ ​founded​ ​independent​ ​studio​ ​10​ ​Chambers​ ​Collective​ ​unveiled​ ​the​ ​first​ ​gameplay​ ​footage
from​ ​their​ ​upcoming​ ​4-player​ ​co-op​ ​game​ ​GTFO​ ​-​ ​and​ ​announced​ ​Adam​ ​Gascoine,​ ​known​ ​from​ ​The
Last​ ​of​ ​Us,​ ​as​ ​the​ ​game’s​ ​writer. GTFO will be released 2018 and can already be found on Steam.

10 Chambers Collective is a Swedish development team lead by the brain behind the PAYDAY
franchise, Ulf Andersson. The 2 minute footage shows a game with a thick atmosphere intercut by intense action. The voice over and visuals allude towards an apocalyptic narrative. As you play the game, you get to know more about the character you control.
Later in the trailer, the players are seen accidentally triggering an alarm that quickly attracts a horde
of terrifying monsters showcasing that the game experience ranges from stealthy exploration and
puzzle solving to intense action.

Simon Viklund said that, “GTFO challenges players to communicate and coordinate. The game’s
slogan - ‘work together or die together’ - really says it all: If you merely ‘stay together’ or ‘shoot
together’ you’ll just die in a pretty formation. Working together is imperative. GTFO will put you and
your co-op team to the test.”

Here are a couple of screensshots from the game!
