Star Child
Playful and GameTrust premiered an all-new experience for Star Child at the Tribeca Film Festival’s Immersive Arcade, which features engaging VR and AR exhibits from some of the world’s top creators. The exclusive hands-on Star Child Demo offers the first new playable experience for the futuristic adventure since it debuted at E3 last year.
Scroll just a bit for the trailer!
Star Child is the story of Spectra, a deep space repair technician on a mission to aid an intergalactic facility. Spectra and her partner, King, find themselves in a race against a dangerous entity – a hostile, overwhelming force that threatens to destroy everything. The demo debuting today features Spectra’s first major task in bringing the Meridian Facility back online – with unexpected results.
Star Child Demo
You will be transported to a stunning world through a cinematic lens where narrative and gameplay are seamlessly integrated. Further enhancing the story’s impact are the lack of onscreen displays or other UI elements, as well as a simple, intuitive control scheme. This frees up players of all experience levels to focus on interacting with the Meridian Facility, exploring the unfamiliar alien world, and solving intricate challenges.
Playful Corp Founder and CEO Paul Bettner said, “We are drawn to the possibilities new technologies provide in reaching new audiences, creating a stronger connection between them and our characters. Our team is building a unique narrative and story approach for Star Child, and we hope this allows players to truly explore this world in their own way.”
Check out the Star Child Demo in the Immersive Arcade at Tribeca Film Festival now through Sunday, April 29. This teaser trailer offers a glimpse at the new demo, and additional information and screenshots can be found here.

Atlantis
The legendary vanishing continent Atlantis, has resurfaced in Uncharted Waters Online! Appearing for the first time on the new Maris server relaunched through Papaya Play, Atlantis brings with it several benefits for Captains capable of reaching its shores, including:
-
Players can conduct ‘Ancient Technology Research’ in exchange for rewards with their home nation.
-
Players can commune with gods from classical mythology at Temples and receive unique powerful temporary ‘Blessings’.
-
A hidden dungeon can be accessed through the Temple of Poseidon, granting special rewards to players brave enough to enter.
Before Captains can take advantage of all the benefits Atlantis provides, they must first complete a number of prerequisite steps and construct a Solar Barge vessel capable of sailing there (see the link below).
True to its namesake, the ‘vanishing continent’ won’t be available in Uncharted Waters Online for long! Players should make the most of its return while they can, before it disappears beneath the waves once more.

Warframe New Game Mode
DIGITAL EXTREMES DOUBLES DOWN
LONDON, ONTARIO
April 18, 2018 – Independent Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes is debuting the first Warframe of 2018, Khora, in tandem with Sanctuary Onslaught, a completely new team-based, survival-style game mode in the Beasts of the Sanctuary update this week for the PC version of Warframe®. Beasts of the Sanctuary arriving on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this May.
Khora is a versatile dynamo of offensive and defensive power with a unique arsenal of attacks. The stylistically armor-clad Khora wields a snake-like metallic whip that strikes from a distance and commands a metallic Kavat (cat pet) that quickly engulfs enemies in a whole lot of pain. The new Sanctuary Onslaught mode, where Khora can be found, enables solo players, or a squad of up to four, to quickly dash through timed portals while blasting waves of increasingly powerful enemies. Both Khora and Sanctuary Onslaught together offer fresh new ways for Tenno to harness Warframe’s cooperative chaos, and both are free with the Beasts of the Sanctuary.
The 35th Warframe, Khora offers both deadly offensive attacks and team-oriented defensive tactics featuring four distinguished Abilities:
- Whipclaw: Send enemies reeling with a deafening whipcrack.
- Ensnare: Bind a hapless target in living metal, entangling others who stray too close. Disperse the trap with a crack of the whip.
- Venari: Summon a ferocious, gleaming Kavat. Use again to cycle between Attack, Protect, and Heal postures.
- Strangledome: Weave a dome of living chain that ensnares and strangles any enemy within, and any foolish enough to approach.
New weapons and items available for Khora include the Dartgun, Quill Spear, Tenno Revolver Rifle, Zaw Parts, Quill Syandana, and Quill Alt Helmet.
Having debuted during the bi-monthly DevStreams this March, Sanctuary Onslaught is ready for action! This new cooperative and competitive mode challenges players to work together to survive endless waves of Warframe enemies standing in their way of escaping through the next portal. Players must quickly slay enemies en masse while proceeding through uniquely crafted environments to random portals to escape – and then do it all again, all against the clock!
Join us in-person on Saturday, July 7, 2018 for the third annual TennoCon! Meet fans from across the world in London, Ontario, Canada, for the biggest, best Warframe event of the year. Tickets are nearly sold out but are still available at Warframe.com/tennocon. For those unable to attend, viewers can tune into twitch.tv/warframe to watch one of the biggest reveals of the year coming to Warframe during TennoLive starting at 3 pm PST/ 6 pm EST on Saturday, July 7.
A portion of the proceeds from TennoCon go to this year’s community partner, Canada Learning Code, which sees teaching digital skills to women, girls, people with disabilities, indigenous youth, and newcomers as key to improving society through empowerment, development and success.

Eve Online Into The Abyss
EVE Online: Into the Abyss
Into The Abyss: This expansion pushes the limits of your EVE experience with new enemies, gameplay and visuals.
15 April 2018 – Reykjavik, Iceland
At the EVE Fanfest, CCP announced ‘Into the Abyss,’ the newest expansion for EVE Online, their deep and uniquely player-driven spaceship MMO game. Launching in May 2018, EVE Online: Into the Abyss is delivered as a free update to all players, both for those with subscriptions and those playing for free.
EVE Online: Into the Abyss injects ground-breaking, transformative gameplay into EVE Online and presents a new adventure for players, inviting you to explore dangerous uncharted territory with strange new inhabitants and potentially vast rewards. This content will be just as unfamiliar to veteran EVE players as it is to novice players entering the game today.
‘Into the Abyss’ adds exploration and survival gameplay in the form of Abyssal Deadspace, a brand new hostile environment filled with hazardous environmental effects and mysterious adversaries, the Triglavian Collective. Players can enter pockets of Abyssal Deadspace from almost anywhere in New Eden. On entry, players fight and explore their way through a series of unpredictable encounters. You use your skills to take on growing risks in the hope of coming out the other side with high value cargo.
Players search for the new mutaplasmids, only found in Abyssal Deadspace. Mutaplasmids can be combined with existing modules to transform them into Abyssal modules, potentially increasing their power vastly or breaking them beyond repair. However, the challenges that players confront become more difficult the deeper they venture into Abyssal Deadspace… and failure means death. Faced with increasing danger from perilous encounters; do you continue and risk your spaceship in the hope of finding greater riches, or make your way home to exploit your rewards?
15 Years of EVE ONLINE!
Celebrating its 15th anniversary in May, EVE Online is the world’s most renowned videogame sandbox, with a rich history of compelling stories, battles, triumph as well as defeat.

“At CCP, our mission is to build together with our players a true virtual world, with real relationships and real emotions and consequently, real stories,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CCP’s Chief Executive Officer. “With EVE Online remaining strong and vibrant after 15 years, there are great strides towards realizing that ambition. Nevertheless, I truly feel that our best work is ahead of us and that EVE’s amazing single-shard sandbox design will continue to dazzle, amaze and eventually outlive us all.”
This is the most exciting time to join EVE Online. New, unexplored space has just been discovered that all players can reach. What is beyond? And who are the Triglavians?
