People. Technology. Under threat. From dinosaurs. Exoprimal's launch is nearly here. On behalf of Aibius World News and Aibius PR, we'd like to share details about the game's launch this Friday and juicy new updates on what to expect in the weeks beyond! Sink your teeth into details about new Alpha variant Exosuits that change how each suit plays, start planning your strategies for the intense Savage Gauntlet PvE mode, and learn about new options to switch between a PvP or PvE-focused experience in Dino Survival. Plus, monstrous crossover content is coming to the game in a future update!

Set in a near-future world, vortexes can open at any time in any place and dump hundreds or even thousands of dinosaurs out. Thanks to breakthroughs from Aibius Corporation, humanity has been able to fight back using the power of Exosuits, powered armor that can withstand these blasts from the past. In the game's main mode, Dino Survival, you'll be thrust into a never-ending war game run by the next-generation artificial intelligence, Leviathan, who will put squads to the test with ever-evolving missions in a race against an opposing team. At its core, Exoprimal is all about working together with your five-person squad to suit up, adapt, and survive against both dinosaurs and, on occasion, other Exofighters.

EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, unveils its latest product, the EK-Quantum Torque Rotary STC-10/16 - Black. Meticulously crafted with precision, these premium soft-tube compression fittings are specifically engineered to accommodate a wide range of flexible tubing types, including PVC, EPDM, Norprene, silicone, and other compatible options. What separates these new fittings is that they feature a rotary joint on the threaded side, enabling you to attach the fitting to the tube, securely fasten the compression ring, and then install the entire assembly into a G1/4" port inside your PC. This exceptional feature makes the installation process easier and more user-friendly. The new EK-Quantum Torque Rotary STC fitting supports the 10/16 mm (ID/OD) soft tubing.

Secure Connection
The fitting's locking ring compresses the tubing wall beneath it, ensuring that the flexible tube remains securely attached to the fitting's barb without the risk of being pulled off. The grooves on the exterior of the fitting facilitate easier hand tightening. The compression ring features EK Quantum's signature cutouts, allowing the colored aesthetic ring to be prominently displayed. For further customization, interchangeable aesthetic color rings can be added, making these fittings a perfect match for EK-Quantum series products.

After our long acclaimed transparent back cases, we couldn't resist and we released the transparent front case plus a new transparent back plate with new ventilation and cooling features. Now you can fully customize your Steam Deck and embrace the retro-gaming style. But that's not all, along with the Transparent Front Plate a new version of our Transparent Back Plates will all be on sale too, starting today!

THE LONG AWAITED TRANSPARENT FRONT PLATE
This highly anticipated front cover will be released in three colors (crystal, brown, and purple) finally allowing you to own a fully transparent Steam Deck. This item will come with a full complimentary tool kit and an installation guide. Before exposing the guts of your Steam Deck, keep in mind that the installation process (around 3 to 5 hours long) is trickier than the one for the back cover and that you should consider seeking help from a professional - or proceed by yourself at your own discretion.

On June 6, a new plane of Hell will open, giving way to endless hours of demon-slaying fun in Diablo IV. The team saw this as an opportunity to improve the accessibility offerings within the game, and they took careful steps to ensure that every new feature added would break down barriers that kept players from playing—a flame that guided them all through development.

OUR GUIDING FLAME
"The only limitation to adventuring in Sanctuary should be interest, not capability," said lead accessibility designer Drew McCrory when the team began ideating on the game's potential accessibility features. Starting with the bedrock laid forth in Diablo II: Resurrected, the team began to construct accessibility features that struck a balance between being useful for players with disabilities while being careful not to mar gameplay for others. From there, the team continued to smooth out the rough edges of the features in their incubation tank until they provided additional usability without altering the core gameplay loop. What they were left with were accessibility options that empower as many players as possible.

While accessibility is an important topic year-round, May is always special as we celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day and recognize the strides made by the accessibility community and the games industry to make gaming more inclusive. At Sony Interactive Entertainment, we are committed to furthering that mission, so today we're excited to share new details and images of the Access controller for the PS5 console.

New details and product images
First revealed at CES this year as "Project Leonardo," the Access controller for PS5 is an all-new, highly-customizable accessibility controller kit designed to help many players with disabilities play games more easily, more comfortably, and for longer periods. Developed in collaboration with accessibility experts, the Access controller will include a wide array of swappable button and stick caps so players can freely create different layouts that work for their unique strength, range of motion, and physical needs.

An evolution of the original Holy Panda, our Holy Panda X is a fully engineered mechanical switch with unrivaled consistency and authentic-yet-refined tactile feel. Now, we're making it available in hand-lubed packs for peerless performance right out of the box. Meticulously applying Krytox GPL105 on the springs and sides of each housing and stem, we've lent a hand in making the Holy Panda X even holier.

This is just the final step in a long journey, one that started when we departed from the original Holy Panda production process (disassembling two switches and combining their parts), working closely with Gateron and a few familiar faces to recreate the Holy Panda experience through a fully engineered product. With carefully selected components, the Holy Panda X feels incredibly similar to its predecessor, but with greatly reduced stem wobble and improved consistency across the board. Among tactile offerings, it's nothing short of a treasure—and you can only find it here, now hand-lubed for the first time.

Over the last few months, we have communicated details about customization, Endgame offerings, moment-to-moment gameplay, and given players a first-hand taste of Sanctuary through Act I during our Early Access and Open Beta Weekends. But what about the post-launch experience, and how do we plan to increase the heat? We'll answer this question by explaining our approach to Seasons, Season Journeys, Battle Pass, and the Shop, and how they work in unison to enhance and diversify the robust campaign and Endgame offerings available to players at launch. There was also a Diablo IV Developer Update Livestream today (see below) that further expands on the aforementioned areas—give it a watch after reading this blog.

Stoking the Flames of Hell: Seasons
Seasons are quarterly releases that will add additional gameplay features, questlines (with new and old faces alike), Battle Passes, Legendary Items, class balance changes, quality-of-life improvements, and much more. Seasons will introduce fresh concepts and ideas into the world of Sanctuary, for all wanderers to enjoy while simultaneously iterating upon your baseline experience. Above all, we want Seasons to be celebratory moments; something to look forward to and enjoy with your friends and other members of the Diablo community. Season 1 will begin in mid to late July, and to embark on this next chapter, you must first complete the Campaign. Because of this, we recommend you begin your pursuit of Lilith in advance so you can jump into the first Season as soon as it becomes available.

Bite Back! Introducing Redfall Limited Edition Controllers with Xbox Design Lab: "If I have to be stuck on an island full of vampires, I'm glad it's with y'all." As you explore the thrilling world of Redfall, we are excited to bring you the newest additions to Xbox Design Lab with Redfall Limited Edition Designs inspired by the game's characters. Choose from one of five inspired designs, each with its own curated color scheme to match. Take your pick from the four playable heroes, Layla Ellison - The Telekinetic Threat; Remi De La Rosa - The Ingenious Ingeniera; Devinder Crousley - The Verified Cryptid Hunter; or Jacob Boyer - The Deadeye with an Undead Eye. And for those who prefer to embrace the darkness, the fifth design, Bite Back, offers a vampire-inspired look complete with red fangs and side caps highlighting the town of Redfall before and after the vampire invasion.

Each design highlights key aspects of each character and the game. Devinder's top case mimics rust and steel from his many adventures hunting cryptids, while Jacob's silver case is detailed with his hex pattern blue cloak and sniper scope markings. Layla's bombastic two-tone black and purple top case is accented with white accents bursting with personality, and Remi's top case shows off her robotics background with the same orange color as her drone, Bribón. You can also choose from one of four unique Redfall battery door engravings, offering a nod to different aspects of the game.

Customization is a cornerstone of Diablo IV. From how your character looks, to the Skills they wield, to the appearance of their Gear and Mount, Diablo IV empowers players with a level of agency never previously offered in a Diablo game. The decision of what type of wanderer you want to play in the world of Sanctuary begins at the Class selection screen and follows you into the Endgame. It's up to YOU to decide how your character will grow and evolve as they pursue Lilith.

Watch the latest Inside the Game developer video on player choice and continue reading for more insight into the customization available to players. Plus, learn how you can play Diablo IV from May 12-14 during Server Slam. Over the course of our Inside the Game video series, we'll sit down with our resident Diablo IV experts -members of the development team - to walk you through elements of the game.
