Star Wars Zero Company Details, First Screenshots Emerge From Star Wars Celebration Japan
Star Wars Zero Company Details, First Screenshots Emerge From Star Wars Celebration Japan During this weekend's Star Wars Celebration Japan in Tokyo, the team behind the recently announced Star Wars Zero Company delved deeper into what fans should expect from the upcoming tactics game. Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment, Star Wars Zero Company puts you in control of Hawks, a former Republic officer, in a gritty story starring an original cast set during the waning Clone Wars. As Hawks, you command a ragtag group of mercenaries and bounty hunters from across the galaxy to combat a dangerous, emerging threat. Hawks' appearance and class are fully customizable, and the operatives you recruit come from a wide array of original Star Wars character classes and species, including Clone Troopers, astromechs, Jedi, and more. Your squadmates are also customizable through their appearances, loadouts, and abilities.   While in the field, players engage in turn-based tactics missions. Player choice looks to play a role in shaping the narrative and gameplay. You can also increase the bonds between your squadmates, unlocking powerful combat synergies. Between missions, you can build up your base and leverage your intelligence network of informants to stay on top of your enemies' moves. "Our vision for Star Wars Zero Company is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay," Bit Reactor CEO and creative director Greg Foertsch said in a press release. "It's our aim to deliver a game with an original Star Wars story from the Clone Wars era that has meaningful outcomes from player choices, and a deep turn-based tactical combat with an approachable and cinematic presentation." Star Wars Zero Company comes to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2026.

The Outlast Trials  Preview - A Close Encounter With Season 3’s New Terror, The Jaeger
The Outlast Trials Preview - A Close Encounter With Season 3’s New Terror, The Jaeger Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC Publisher: Red Barrels Developer: Red Barrels Release: March 5, 2024 Rating: Mature The Outlast Trials’ third season arrives on April 22, kicking off Project Relapse and the fallout of Amelia Collier’s failed escape in Season 2. I attended a hands-off preview event hosted by developer Red Barrels to learn more about this new chapter and to witness its signature new baddie, The Jaeger, in action.   Following Amelia’s failed rebellion, she’s been captured and incapacitated by Murkoff. Her unconscious body is suspended above the starting hub, serving as a constant reminder to players that all hope is lost and there’s no escape. Of course, that won’t stop you and your fellow Reagents from trying, but Murkoff has a new terrifying ace up his sleeve: The Jaeger. This powerful, persistent enemy now appears during trials to stalk players. The Jaeger was formerly known as Henrietta Grubbs, a familiar foe transformed into a much bigger threat. I mean that literally; she towers over players with her powerful, muscular frame punctuated by a creepy and intimidating iron mask. Like Jason Voorhees, the Jaeger is slow but extremely powerful and durable. Hitting her with bottles and other projectiles only causes her to flinch slightly. When timed correctly, however, that split second makes the difference between escaping her grasp or suffering one of her clubbing blows. I watched her seize victims, lifting them to her eye level before delivering a rib-shattering gut punch that often downed them in one blow. I watched the Red Barrels team jump into a trial to demonstrate the Jaeger’s impact on the experience. This new story trial, Liquidate the Union, unfolds in a new level called the Suburbs, a faux town populated by unsettling mannequins. As the team works through this section, solving environmental puzzles like locating scattered symbols tied to a pin pad code, the Jaeger begins to stalk them. She’s not the swiftest foe, so she usually targets a single, random player to hunt with what the developer describes as a "Terminator-like" determination. The designer currently targeted attempts to lure the Jaeger away from everyone else as they worked to solve a pin pad puzzle to open a door. While this is a smart strategy, she won’t keep her sights on one victim forever. The Jaeger eventually finds a new quarry, and things quickly devolve into chaos as the developers scramble to avoid her without losing track of the task at hand. It doesn't go smoothly for them, and several drop like flies when they can't escape quickly enough.  Red Barrels also used this encounter to demonstrate the new (and much-requested) nudity filter introduced in Project Relapse. Toggling this feature adds a pixeled effect to the naughty bits of naked characters and bodies, including the largely bare Jaeger. While neat to have, especially for content creators, the visual of a largely blurry Jaeger adds a layer of unintentional comedy to the otherwise tense experience that I can’t decide is good or bad.  The team eventually learns the correct code and opens the door to reveal a union boss strapped to a standing bed on a conveyor track moving backward through the stage. This turns the Trial into an escort mission, as the developers must protect the “payload” while fending off attackers. It’s a chaotic scene I don’t get to see the end of, as the developers stop the demo to avoid spoilers. The Jaeger will be a permanent presence in all trials during the season’s first month, so players will get to know her very well, very quickly. With all of the chaos she wrought, The Jaeger is my favorite addition of several updates coming to Season 3, which also includes a Trial Maker, a new tool-making kit that lets players create custom Trials using unique combinations of Challenges and Variators to share with other players, two new MK-Challenges, a new deluxe catalog, and more. Things may look bleak(er) in the Sinyala Facility, but Season 3 has the potential to be the best chapter for The Outlast Trials yet.

Lost In Random: The Eternal Die Dev Diary Offers Insight Into The Story And Voice Acting
Lost In Random: The Eternal Die Dev Diary Offers Insight Into The Story And Voice Acting We enjoyed 2021’s Lost in Random and have patiently awaited more news on its upcoming follow-up, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die. A new developer diary provides a little more insight into Stormteller Games’ approach to storytelling, the game’s increased emphasis on action, and the voice talent involved. The Eternal Die is something of a sophomore shakeup. Stormteller Games sits at the helm previously occupied by the first game's developer, Zoink, and brings some new ideas while retaining the dice-focused melee action that made the first game a cult favorite.  Narrative director Oskar Hanska discusses how the game isn’t “Lost in Random 2,” hence why it stars a different but familiar protagonist. Queen Aleksandra, who ruled the world of Random in the first game, is the star of this adventure, joined by her die companion, Fortune. The video also touches on The Eternal Die’s more challenging and faster-paced action (this is a roguelite, unlike the last game) and highlights the voice work, such as Aleksandra’s performer Elsie Lovelock, whose previous video game credits include Metaphor: ReFantazio and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake.  Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is scheduled to launch this summer for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC.
