Two-Week-Long Event Will Be a Perfect Preparation for Next Week’s Ranking System Update

Seoul, Korea, October 30, 2012— Joymax, leading online game developer and publisher known for popular titles Silkroad Online and Digimon Masters, today announced half-priced repairs for all weapons and armor for the next two weeks in the latest free-to-play MMORPG, Knight Age.  This sudden surprise event came into play through none other than player suggestions!  Check out the two week event starting today at http://www.joymax.com/knightage/.

Battles and occasional deaths can be detrimental to a knight’s weapons and armor durability, and the more damage the more it costs to fix.  But costs will be the least of player’s concern with this two week sale event.  Players should seize this rare opportunity to go mad in battles and save some coin, especially if the player wishes to reach number one in the new Ranking System updated next week.

Coming next Tuesday, the new Ranking System ranks top 15 players and every single guild from each server publicly through the official website.  The new system will show weekly PVP rankings, overall PVP rankings and social networking rankings.  The first two categories will rank the players on weekly overall accumulated PVP point and the last category, social networking, ranks players by their social networking level which can be gained by making friends or joining guilds.  In addition, the Ranking System ranks by guilds showing every single rank in every server and its guild level!

With half-priced sale, ranking for the top and floating pumpkin heads for Halloween, there is never a dull moment in Knight Age!  Fans should head to Knight Age Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/officialknightage for all the latest news and events.

Mothhead, a wildly creative interactive art demonstration showing the power of the Unity tools and engine when put in the hands of seasoned artists, was released today on the Unity website. Massive Black, currently developing wild actioner Zombie Playground, worked on the demo as their first interactive project following years as one of the film and games industries most respected and talented art and concept houses.

Based off of legendary sculptor and concept artist Peter Konig’s designs, Mothhead lets players explore two wonderfully creative and aesthetically different environments full of life. Built as an art demo to show the capabilities of Unity in the hands of artists, Mothhead includes very lite gameplay elements (on top of basic exploration) where players will have to bring a moth and its shambling body together to find their way across a chasm and out onto a patio where a friend is trapped and must be freed.

PC and Mac versions of the Mothhead demo can be found at: http://www.unity3d.com/promo/mothhead

“The last couple of weeks of Alpha, since we began allowing public access, have been incredible,” said Sergey Titov, executive producer for The War Z. “We’re extremely happy with the way things are going and the players seem to understand the hurdles of the game being in Alpha and have been really supportive. We will continue to listen to the feedback from our community and use it to add the features and content that will match their expectations and help us to make this game the best it can be.”

The War Z is an online, multiplayer, survival-simulation game set in an open world infested with zombies.  Players are thrust into this post-apocalyptic world five-years after a viral outbreak that ravaged the human population and left, in its wake, a nightmare of epic proportion.  Hordes of undead zombies roam the cities, and the few remaining human beings have devolved into a lawless, nomadic society where the sole objective is to survive at any cost.  Players must use skill and cunning in order to acquire food, weapons and other supplies necessary for survival.  While navigating the vast landscape, they will discover cities teeming with the undead as well as other players that may or may not be friendly.

Players can visit http://www.thewarz.com for more information.  They can also have a chance to win gear and game access by “liking” on Facebook (http://facebook.com/warzmmo) and “following” on Twitter (http://twitter.com/the_war_z).

Following up on our in-depth look at the Hostage Negotiation DLC Pack’s four all-new multiplayer maps that provide more sniping locations, elevated platforms to exercise those Shootdodge™ skills, and plenty of close-quarters for melee friendly combat, we’ve got new details below on this pack’s newest faction plus its two high-powered rifles, three game changing Loadout Items and Burst that may alter the way you allocate that Adrenaline in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer.

NEW WEAPON: THE IA2 ASSAULT RIFLE (WITH ATTACHMENTS) 360-degree render of the new IA2 Assault Rifle, part of the Max Payne 3 Hostage Negotiation DLC Pack.

The IA2 is the latest addition to the Assault Rifle class and provides a serious upgrade to your MD-97L and FAL equipped Loadouts. Durable enough to be used as a baseball bat, and powerful enough to chew through opponents’ body armor, the IA2 is Brazil’s go-to service rifle, providing their military, police and special force divisions with the latest in high-power weapon technology.

NEW WEAPON: THE M24 SNIPER RIFLE (WITH ATTACHMENTS) 360-degree render of the new M24 Sniper Rifle, part of the Max Payne 3 Hostage Negotiation DLC Pack.

Sporting an extreme range of effective firepower, the M24 bolt-action sniper rifle gives you a reliable and accurate weapon that’s designed to consistently hit its intended mark. The standard sniper rifle for military units around the world, the M24 is a dependably sturdy firearm that is lightweight enough to keep your Loadout out of the red.

NEW FACTION: FILHOS DE OGUM

The eighth customizable multiplayer faction and fourth gang to emerge from São Paulo’s dangerous favelas, the Filhos De Ogum will certainly be easy to recognize – with  leg and facial tattoos, extremely unique accessories, and ragged mismatching footwear that looks like it came from a dumpster, the brawlers at the bottom of the Favela’s food chain will definitely make you want to unlock each and every available option.
