FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE FRANCHISE HISTORY SKYLANDERS UNLEASHES TWO NEW ELEMENTS

New Light and Dark Element Trap Master Skylanders to be included in special
Elemental Quest Packs launching this festive season

Never-Before-Seen Elemental Zones and Villains now can be accessed and captured in
Skylanders Trap Team

 For the first time since the launch of the Skylanders® franchise, two entirely new elements – Light and Dark – will be unleashed in the world of Skylands, announced Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI). Two new Trap Masters - Knight Mare and Knight Light, will hit store shelves nationwide this festive season, via special Light and Dark Elemental Quest Packs, ushering in new adventures in the lore of Skylanders® Trap Team. Each Elemental Quest Pack contains a Trap Master, a special Trap capable of capturing either Light or Dark villains, as well as a location piece that unlocks a special level in the game. The Light and Dark Elemental Quest Packs will be available at all major retailers nationwide.


Portal Masters will have the opportunity to explore new levels within the Skylanders Trap Team universe, where they will find never-before-seen villains to capture and environments to explore. Amongst these villains are Luminous and Nightshade, who belong to the Doom Raiders - the elite members of Kaos’ army of Skylands’ most notorious bad guys.

“It’s amazing to see how deeply engrossed and fascinated our fans have been with the Skylanders franchise,” said John Coyne, vice president of Consumer Marketing at Activision Publishing, Inc. “By unveiling new Light and Dark elements and heroes to theSkylanders universe, our fans around the world will have new ways of exploring all the magic, excitement and fun of Skylands.”


The introduction of Light and Dark elements reveals additional backstory of the Skylanders universe for fans to explore.  Long ago, Knight Light and Knight Mare were both protectors of Skylands until being sealed off in other realms. Now that they have joined the Trap Masters, Knight Light wields his TraptaniumTM Blade and Knight Mare unleashes her deadly Traptanium Lance to bring down evil everywhere!

Skylanders Trap Team is playable with more than 175 unique toys from all previous games – Skylanders® SWAP Force, Skylanders® Giants and Skylanders® Spyro’s Adventure. Every character is able to defeat and trap villains using Traptanium Traps, providing fans more ways to enjoy their collections. The game is available on the following platforms: Nintendo's Wii™ system and Nintendo's Wii U™ system; Xbox One and Xbox 360 games and entertainment systems from Microsoft; and PlayStation® 3 and PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment systems from Sony. A different adventure is also available on the Nintendo 3DShand-held system. Additionally, the complete Skylanders Trap Team experience is available on Kindle Fire and Android tablets, as well as a variety of iPads®, including iPad® (3rd  Generation), iPad® (4th Generation), iPad Air™, iPad Air™ 2, iPad mini™,  iPad mini™ 2 and iPad mini™ 3.

CD Projekt RED and BANDAI NAMCO Games reveal new assets which present one of the key characters in the epic role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Ciri.


Alone in a world set out to kill the weak, Geralt of Rivia, a wandering monster slayer, is embarking on a journey that will redefine everything. Ciri, the ashen-haired girl from an ancient prophecy, is a descendant in a long lost elven blood lineage. The girl is a living and highly volatile weapon capable of both destroying and healing the fragile world she currently inhabits. Emotionally connected to Geralt, the girl is pursued by the titular Wild Hunt, a cavalcade of ghastly riders capable of unspeakable destruction, and by the mighty Empire of Nilfgaard, the most powerful political entity in the entire world. Every choice the player makes will resonate with dire consequences. The world is yours to explore and Ciri is somewhere out there, fighting her own demons.


With such a deep and developed plot, CD Projekt RED decided that introducing another character and telling parts of the story from her perspective would greatly benefit the overall experience. Adding Ciri as a playable character unlocks quite a few narrative possibilities for the player. Ciri is present in the game to offer a unique and different perspective on the story plot, and not to become an alternative story line to Geralt. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is about Geralt and his exploration of the open world, his fight against the Hunt, and finding Ciri herself. Aside from extraordinaire swordplay, she has quite a few unique skills up her sleeves that will gradually unlock throughout the game. She’s fast and agile, she can blink (as seen in the Elder Blood trailer), but -- most importantly -- there’s something dormant in her, a mythical power, but more about that later.

OCULUS RIFT SUPPORT GOES LIVE FOR CODEMASTERS®’ MINIATURE MOTOR RACER TOYBOX TURBOS!

DIVE INTO A STUNNING 3D WORLD OF TOYS WITH THE OCULUS RIFT VIRTUAL REALITY PLATFORM AND TOYBOX TURBOS

Codemasters® has announced that arcade table-top racer Toybox Turbos for Windows PC from Steam will be updated today with free support for the Oculus Rift virtual reality platform. Playing with the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 (DK2) virtual reality headset will fully immerse players in Toybox Turbos’ beautifully crafted environments and gives gamers a brand new way to experience the game’s charmingly chaotic racing in 18 nostalgic childhood locations.


“Virtual reality is something we’ve been super excited about since the Oculus Rift platform was first announced,” said Chris Gray, senior producer. “With Toybox Turbos we had a fantastic opportunity to do something a bit different, something unexpected. The game really changes when you play in virtual reality. Looking down from above on these intricate and beautifully detailed tracks, seeing all the interactive elements like toy trains circling the table-tops... it makes you feel like a child again, playing with toy cars on your bedroom floor. It’s a real wow moment.”

The Windows PC edition of Toybox Turbos will update automatically via Steam to offer players two ways to enjoy an incredibly immersive 3D experience in the game. The first is a chase camera that puts players right in the heart of the action as they use power-ups, take shortcuts and make jumps. The second is a third-person view of the world from above that gives the gamer a childlike sense of playing with toys as they look down on action coming alive on each lovingly-crafted table-top race track. Players can enjoy 3D gaming in Toybox Turbos in both single-player and in the game’s online multiplayer mode.


With gameplay that captures that ‘just-one-more-go’ spirit of Codemasters’ fondly remembered miniature racing titles of the ‘90s, Toybox Turbos delivers quick-fire rounds, accessible gameplay and 35 fun vehicles to play with, ranging from London taxis and police cars to milk floats, golf carts, diggers and more! Toybox Turbos features a series of cups to win in the game’s single-player mode, plus both online racing and single-screen local multiplayer gaming for up to four-players.

Gamers can find out more about Toybox Turbos by speeding over to www.toyboxturbos.com and www.facebook.com/toyboxturbos or by following the team at www.twitter.com/toyboxturbos/.
