SYNDUALITY is a Sci-fi Shooter set in a dystopian futuristic world where humans and AI must co-exist and cooperate to survive. The game will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

SYNDUALITY takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called "The Tears of the New Moon" wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the population. Amidst the calamity, humans are forced to build an underground haven named Amasia, where they discover and begin to collaborate with forms of artificial intelligence called Magus.

On the brink of an extraterrestrial invasion, who will take command of humanity? Will you protect Earth from the aliens, ally with them, or serve? From the creators of XCOM 1 and 2's popular Long War mods comes Terra Invicta, an epic grand strategy game launching into Early Access on September 26th. With the unexpected arrival of an extraterrestrial force breaching our Solar System, humanity has fractured. Unable to develop a united response to the impending invasion, rival factions emerge, each with their own philosophies, goals, and desires when it comes to the mysterious interlopers. Players must lead one of these groups and utilize their unique strengths in the struggle for control over Earth's resources as you prepare for the ultimate fight to control the future of humanity. Will you serve your new alien overlords, fight to maintain human supremacy, or instead venture forth into the stars and leave these petty squabbles behind?

Bridging the gap between the familiar terrain of Earth and the far reaches of the Solar System, Terra Invicta elevates the themes of the alien invasion plot and turns everything up to 11. The campaign begins as a terrestrial game of geopolitical chess where players must strategically vie for control of the planet's nations and resources. As faction leaders, players will weigh the benefits and consequences of their actions, but how the upper hand is gained is completely up to them.

Tumultuous times are ahead for the PC and tablet markets according to a new forecast from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker. Global shipments of traditional PCs are forecast to decline 12.8% in 2022 to 305.3 million units while tablet shipments will fall 6.8% to 156.8 million. Inflation, a weakening global economy, and the surge in buying over the past two years are the leading causes for the reduced outlook.

Further contraction is also expected in 2023 as consumer demand has slowed, the education demand has been largely fulfilled, and enterprise demand gets pushed out due to worsening macroeconomic conditions. The combined market for PCs and tablets is forecast to decline 2.6% in 2023 before returning to growth in 2024.

Developer Vile Monarch and publisher Ravenscourt are proud to unveil Floodland, a post-catastrophic survival city builder set in Earth's devastated wetlands, due for release on Nov. 15, 2022. In Floodland, the world's sea levels rise dramatically due to the consequences of man-made climate change, and a resulting chain of catastrophes occurs, plunging humanity into a new dark age. A brand-new teaser released today gives some insight into the events leading up to the catastrophe that set mankind back hundreds - if not thousands - of years.

Floodland is developed by Polish studio Vile Monarch, founded by Kacper Kwiatkowski and Grzegorz Mazur, both of whom worked on This War of Mine, and have a history of taking real-world problems and translating them into a gaming medium. "Grzegorz and I came up with the idea for Floodland when we discussed conventions that are unexplored in games, one of them being a 'mature and realistic post-apocalypse,' with examples in other media such as The Road, Children of Men, or even The Walking Dead. In gaming, The Last of Us would be the closest," said founder Kacper Kwiatkowski. "It felt especially timely and important to use these kinds of stories to let us discuss the challenges of the world nowadays."
