About Heaven’s Vault

Uncover a forgotten past and decipher a lost language in this open-world narrative adventure game.

Join archaeologist Aliya Elasra and her robot sidekick Six as they investigate The Nebula, an ancient network of scattered moons.

Discover lost sites, freely explore ancient ruins and translate inscriptions to reveal the secrets of the Nebula’s past.





  

Decipher an entire hieroglyphic language in a puzzle mechanic with a unique narrative twist: every inscription you find has a meaning, and the translations you choose feed back into story, changing Aliya’s ideas about what she’s found. But be warned – you won’t ever be sure if your translations are correct.

The game has a non-linear design that allows you to approach the story in any order; backed up by inkle’s narrative engine, ink, which remembers every choice you make and every path you follow – and every path you don’t – and feeds that into what happens next.

A diverse cast of characters will react to everything you say, and change their approach depending on how you treat them. Some are kind, some are cautious, and others are out to con you – you have been warned!







Key Features

• Totally unique art style, blending beautiful 3D environments and hand-drawn 2D art.

• Learn and translate the ancient language of the Ancients.

• Interact with a large cast of characters who remember everything you say.

• Journey through an open world where every action counts.

• Sail on the rivers of the Nebula - and into its depths.

• Be a thief, an explorer, a detective, a seeker, a saviour, a rogue...

The ESRB Will Label Games With Loot Boxes And In-Game Transactions
分级机构 ESRB 计划给“微交易”游戏增加标识
转载 - Vgtime（http://www.vgtime.com/topic/944612.jhtml）

　　作为微交易风波的回应，分级机构ESRB计划给包含“游戏内付费”的作品增加一个独特的标识（标签），这个标识将适用于那些持有“用真实货币购买虚拟货品和额外奖励”元素的游戏，包括但不限于等级奖励、皮肤、战利品箱、音乐、虚拟货币、订阅服务、季票，以及额外的增值服务（比如付费清除广告）。

　　该标识将与人们熟悉的ESRB评级标签分开，与此同时ESRB还开启了一项活动，旨在强调家长对于游戏主机的控制。

　　事情可能还是与《星际大战：战场前线 II》引发的一系列事件有关，该作就提供需要额外付费且能开出道具的战利品箱。更要命的是，这些道具甚至会影响虚拟角色的能力。在此之后，与政府有关的博彩委员会就开始权衡——“战利品箱”是否符合国家针对赌博的法律。

　　两周之前，夏威夷的议员们提出了法案，建议对“开箱”游戏进行监管。之后参议员Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.)写信质问ESRB，想要了解它们对于这些游戏的评级策略。ESRB的董事长Patricia Vance表示：“（增加标识）只是第一步，我们将持续关注这个问题，同时将确定是否有其它的措施和方针可以落实，这显然也是玩家社区关心的问题。”

　　不过，几乎所有的3A游戏都包含某种形式的“游戏内付费”，比较常见的就是后续发布的可下载内容，这已经成为游戏的一部分，也有着近十年的历史了。而当问及ESRB的新政策是受到发行商的反对时，Vance简短的回答到：“没有。”

　　微交易并不是一个新鲜事物，正如夏威夷州议员Chris Quinlan此前提到的那样，它们大多与手机游戏有着密切联系。然而，《中土世界：战争之影》、《使命召唤：二战》、《星际大战：战场前线 II》几个大作将这项服务推到了风口浪尖，同时也让Quinlan和一部分人觉得它与赌博相关。

　　ESRB的Vance却表示他很难认同这一点：“我们也曾做过调查，但没有证据可以证明战利品箱对孩子们有特殊影响，或是将其引向赌博的道路。我们仍然相信开箱是一种获得虚拟道具的有趣方式，这些道具大多只是装饰品，它们通常并非必需品。”

　　有趣的是，ESRB在推出这一标识之前对许多家长进行了调查，结果却表明他们之中绝大多数都不知道什么是战利品箱，或并不了解这一物品的真正概念。Vance说到：“我们发现家长更关心孩子们金钱支出，所以最终推出了一个为家长准备的工具，相信这也是一种管控战利品箱的有效方式。”



Statement by the ESRB

You may have noticed that we’ve been a little quiet on the topic of in-game purchases and loot boxes, but we’ve been listening. In fact, we’ve absorbed every tweet, email, Facebook post and singing telegram sent our way, and we’ve been working to develop a sensible approach to let gamers and parents know when a game offers the option to purchase additional content. Starting soon ESRB will begin assigning a brand-new label to physical games: In-Game Purchases. This label, or as we call it interactive element, will appear on boxes (and where those games can be downloaded) for all games that offer the ability to purchase digital goods of premiums with real world currency. This includes features like bonus levels, skins, surprise items (such as item packs, loot boxes, mystery awards), music, virtual coins and other forms of in-game currency, subscriptions, season passes, upgrades (e.g., to disable ads) and more.

We’re also launching a new website ParentalTools.org to help raise awareness of the helpful tools that parents can use to manage the amount of time or money those crafty kids spend playing games. This is the first step of many! We’ll continue to discuss how to further enhance our rating system with publishers, developers, gamers and especially parents, and we’ll continue to make adjustments as the need arises.

Thank you for all your patience on this, and your love for the games we rate.

Funcom Announces Tactical Adventure Game Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden
《科南的流亡》厂商回合制新作《突变元年：伊甸园之路》正式公开 释出首部宣传影片
转载 - 巴哈姆特9https://gnn.gamer.com.tw/4/159624.html)

　　《科南的流亡（暂译，原名：CONAN EXILES）》游戏厂商 FUNCOM 新作《突变元年：伊甸园之路（暂译，原名：Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden）》正式曝光，并同步释出首部宣传影片，游戏预定在今年内登上 PC、Xbox One、PS4 平台。

　　FUNCOM 日前公开倒数网站，今日也正式揭晓由 Bearded Ladies 开发的新作面纱。 《突变元年：伊甸园之路》是款结合《XCOM》系列回合制类型玩法的策略冒险游戏，玩家要随着故事探索、躲藏并运用策略击败敌人。

　　世界会终结，只是时间上的问题。 本作中以极端气候变化、全球经济危机、致命的流感以及新旧大国紧张局面日益增长的地球为舞台背景。 核子武器在 1945 年第一次用于军事冲突上，随着巨大蘑菇状烟雾（Mushroom clouds）升起，人类消失了，突变体登场。 而游戏中，玩家要操控这些突变物种，如手持奴弓且会说话的鸭子 Dux、拥有严重情绪问题的猪 Bormin 等，在充满荒废城市的后人类（post-human）地球探索并找到能拯救自己的伊甸乐园。

　　PC、Xbox One、PS4《突变元年：伊甸园之路》预定 2018 年内上市。





Funcom And The Bearded Ladies Announces New Game For Pc, Xbox & PS4

Of course the world ends, it was just a question of time. Extreme climate change, global economic crisis, a lethal pandemic, and increasing tension between old and new superpowers. For the first time since 1945 nuclear weapons were used in armed conflict. Mushroom clouds rose from east to west before the dust settled. The humans are gone. The Mutants are here.

Funcom, the independent games developer and publisher, and Bearded Ladies, a Sweden-based game development studio that includes former ‘Hitman’ designers and Ulf Andersson the designer of ‘PAYDAY’, today announced a brand-new game called ‘Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden’. Proudly standing out as a tactical adventure game, it combines the tactical turn-based combat of ‘XCOM’ with real-time exploration and stealth gameplay, wrapping it all up in a deep storyline set on a post-human Earth.







The game, which is being developed by Bearded Ladies and published by Funcom, is set to release in 2018 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Players must take control of a team of unlikely heroes, such as Dux (a crossbow-wielding, walking, talking duck) and Bormin (a boar with serious anger issues), and help them navigate a post-human Earth with its abandoned cities, crumbling highways, and mutated monsters on every corner. The ultimate goal: save yourselves by finding the legendary Eden.

“It’s an unusual label for a game, but tactical adventure really fits the bill, no duck pun intended,” says Executive Producer Ulf Andersson at Bearded Ladies. Andersson is also known for being the designer of the 2011 megahit ‘PAYDAY’. “Our goal is to blend the deep and tactical combat of ‘XCOM’ with a branching storyline that unfolds as you explore overgrown forests and abandoned cities with your team of Mutants. Mixing that with real-time stealth gameplay gives you a unique way to approach or avoid combat situations you encounter while exploring."







For more video material, screenshots, and more information about ‘Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden’, please visit the official website that launched today on mutantyearzero.com.

Funcom will be showing off the first ever live gameplay at GDC 2018 in San Francisco in March. Demos will be held behind closed doors at the Moscone Center showfloor.

‘Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden’ is powered by the Unreal Engine and will be available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 in 2018. The game is based on the classic ‘Mutant’ IP that has spawned several popular pen and paper role-playing games since the 1980s, including the current ‘Mutant: Year Zero’ from Free League and Modiphius Entertainment. The IP is owned by the Cabinet Group and the interactive rights are controlled by Heroic Signatures, a company owned by both Cabinet Group and Funcom.

Co-op horror game The Blackout Club announced for PS4, Xbox One, and PC
前《生化奇兵》开发人新工作室恐怖新作《停电俱乐部》公开

　　曾经制作过《生化奇兵2》、《生化奇兵 无限》与《耻辱》的制作组Question于今天公布了其新作《The Blackout Club》。从宣传片来看，本作是一款第一人称的RPG游戏。

　　本作的故事发生在一个小镇中，有一个由十多岁的年轻人组成的团体。他们自身都曾有过短时失去意识的遭遇，所以组成了一个团体，但这些事情他们并未向周边的大人们提起过。即使在他们中的密友失踪也绝口不提，而是由他们的团体开始了独自调查。根据他们的调查发现，他们自己所住的镇的地下“住着秘密犯罪的大人们”，并有着“散发敌意的地下世界”。

　　本作中的角色造型可以进行修改，并拥有“各自能力与所有武器的种类不同”的设定。在调查大人们犯罪的证明以及收集证据的时候需要设置陷阱等，这时就需要团队的成员们发挥不同的能力并担当不同的角色了。在完成了一个个任务之后，玩家也会进行升级，并可以入手“今后可以使用的新能力”。

　　本作预定将于明年，也就是2019年初发售，平台目前暂定有PC、Xbox One与PS4.



Question, a team of industry veterans including the creative director and lead writer of BioShock 2, the senior gameplay programmer of Dishonored, and the lead effects artist for BioShock Infinite, has announced The Blackout Club, a cooperative horror game coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in Q1 2019.

Here is an overview of the game, via Question:

Set in a small town with a monstrous secret, The Blackout Club follows a group of teens who band together after learning they’ve all been temporarily losing consciousness – waking up in strange places with no memory of what they have done. Recently, one of their closest friends vanished entirely. When none of their parents, teachers, or even the police are willing to believe them, the friends launch an investigation. Together they will discover a maze of tunnels – a hostile underworld filled with hypnotic music and populated by a clandestine group of adults – all beneath their seemingly idyllic suburbs.

To save their community and themselves, the teens will need to capture the conspiracy on camera and prove its existence to the world. Up to four players will sneak out of their homes and go on surveillance missions filled with procedurally-generated elements including variable objectives, enemy encounters, loot drops, and more. Every night will be a different adventure as the team seeks out additional clues and explores new parts of their neighborhood and its ominous underbelly. The club must trust no one as they get closer to finding out what happened to their missing friend – and the cause of their uncontrollable blackouts.

Surviving the dangers of night will require intelligence, improvisation, and skill. Sleepwalking adults that could be their neighbors or relatives now seek to drag them underground. Players must create and coordinate diversions and use other tactics to break the enemy’s vice-like grip. The last player left standing must avoid attracting the attention of an even more dangerous entity – one that pursues its prey relentlessly – one that can’t be seen with open eyes…

Player characters will be customizable with a variety of powers and equipment loadouts. Every member of the group will play a distinct role and utilize devices like drones or deployable traps to outwit their foes and gather evidence of their crimes. When the mission is complete, players will head back to the hideout, where they can level up and acquire new abilities for use on future outings.

The Blackout Club will be the second title developed by Question. Its first game, The Magic Circle, launched for PC in July 2015, followed by PlayStation 4 in April 2016 and Xbox One in June 2016.

PC/PS4《帝托之剑》预定 4 月 24 日问世。



The Swords of Ditto Rise to the Challenge on April 24

The delightful heroes at developer onebitbeyond and teeny tiny game label Devolver Digital have announced their vibrant action RPG The Swords of Ditto will launch April 24 on PlayStation 4 and PC.

The Swords of Ditto creates a series of unique, compact adventures for a new hero every 100 years in a seemingly never-ending struggle against the evil Mormo. Players will awaken as one of the chosen adventurers and wield the legendary sword of the land through a dangerous and ever changing overworld, diabolical dungeons, secret lairs, and ascend Mormo’s tower to face off with the evil witch herself. Retrieve powerful new toys, slap on perk stickers, and complete side quests to fill out your inventory as each new run is different from the last. The only constant is the sword itself, as experience and power gained for the sword in each adventure carries over to the hero’s successor. Take down Mormo and the world is a happier, brighter place, but failure puts Ditto and its poor citizens into a dark, crumbling version of their world. Make this journey alone or invite a fellow champion for local cooperative play on both PlayStation 4 and PC.

The Swords of Ditto developer onebitbeyond was created by former creative director at Curve Studios Jonathan ‘Bidds’ Biddle and boasts a roster of top game development veterans thrilled to work on their first project together. Based out of London, onebitbeyond have been working on The Swords of Ditto since late 2015 and will be demoing the game at PAX East 2018 in April.

The Swords of Ditto arrives on PlayStation 4 and PC April 24. Excited adventurers can follow the game’s progress and latest news as theswordsofditto.com or @onebitbeyond on Twitter.
