Koei Tecmo today has revealed more information to us at StG on the character relationships and original storyline of developer Omega Force’s latest one-versus-thousands action title and celebration of everything Koei Tecmo, Warriors All-Stars. The game is headed to the PlayStation 4 on the 1st September 2017. An action-packed new trailer (above) for the Tamaki Clan features Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Wang Yunaji and Zhou Cang from Dynasty Warriors, Oka, Tokitsugu and Horo from Toukiden, Sophie and Plachta from Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Book, Opoona from Opoona, and princess Tamaki.

Summoned from a diverse range of worlds and time periods to save a mysterious land at the brink of destruction, the champions of Warriors All-Stars find themselves in the middle of a clash for control. When a magical power source dries up after the king’s passing, princess Tamaki performs a ritual to summon saviours in times of dire need, but her power spirals out of control and scatters them across the domain.

As the legend foretells that the land’s liberator will be crowned its new ruler, Tamaki sets out at once to seek the new arrivals and restore peace to the kingdom. However, so do her rivals Setsuna and Shiki – descendants of the royal family who also vie for the throne. Uncertain of their fate, the champions are split into three separate groups with no choice but to duke it out for dominance.

Within this volatile setting, the player must choose their allies carefully. By engaging in Key Battles and taking on Free Scenarios, players will gain access to their faction’s roster of warriors and craft their dream team. Character choices will affect the course and conclusion of the game, as their friendships are key to how the game’s story unfolds, which is further enhanced with the addition of the all-new Bond system. Relationships between characters can improve by fighting alongside one another and spending time together in the Barracks.

The closer the Bond, the stronger the abilities unlocked to gain an upper hand on the battlefield.

Get your alliances ready now for this coming September!

Grab your board and take to the mountains! Video game publisher Maximum Games, in partnership with developer HB Studios, has today announced that its snowboarding game, Mark McMorris Infinite Air, is available now on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam platforms.

Infinite Air is the first open-world, physics-based snowboarding video game built in close collaboration with top pro-snowboarder, Mark McMorris. With dedication to recreating the authenticity and excitement of the snowboarding experience, Infinite Air features an all-star lineup of six highly talented pro-snowboarders available to play in-game, including X Games Gold medalists Silje Norendal, Torstein Horgmo, Danny Davis, along with notable pro-snowboarders, Ulrik Badertscher and Craig McMorris.

“Being part of the creation of Infinite Air has been a dream come true! As a kid growing up, I always looked up to athletes who were able to create their own video games and today I get to inspire the next generation,” said Mark McMorris. “I’m extremely proud of what we came up with and thankful for all of the hard work put in by everyone involved. I couldn’t be more excited to share Infinite Air with everyone and can’t wait for you all to experience a different type of snowboarding game!”

In Infinite Air, players will be able to use their imagination to carve out their own unique tracks in pristine powdery courses. Offering over 100 square miles of vast backcountry terrain across massive procedurally generated mountains, the options are near endless and guarantee that no course will ever be the same. Not even the high alpine snowy mountain tops are out of reach as the helicopter will allow players to land in any location offered in the game.

“Infinite Air is a fantastic game for sports fans looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush,” said Christina Seelye, CEO of Maximum Games. “Our game delivers the most authentic snowboarding experience, and offers an amazing roster of pro-boarders, led by X Games legend, Mark McMorris, and we’re excited for gamers everywhere to get their hands on it.”

Building upon HB Studios’ signature content creation system used in the highly successful title, The Golf Club, Infinite Air has incorporated the World Editor feature where players can custom build, ride and share tracks in their own style, or compete against friends and their respective courses from all around the world!

Mark McMorris Infinite Air is available now in Australia & New Zealand on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
