FAR CRY® 5: LOST ON MARS LAUNCHES ON JULY 17

Nick Rye and Hurk Return for an Intergalactic Battle to Save Humankind

Montreal — July 11, 2018 — Yesterday, Ubisoft announced Far Cry® 5: Lost on Mars, the second post-launch adventure, will release July 17 on available platforms.

Lost on Mars can be purchased as part of the season pass for $39.99 or the Gold Edition for $119.99.

Lost on Mars transports the franchise’s insanity from Hope County to the red planet as Nick Rye is teleported to a hostile planet to help his buddy Hurk thwart an alien invasion of Earth. This adventure gives players a new arsenal of alien weaponry, including the Blaster of Disaster, Hellfire and Morphinator, while also introducing a new traversal tool with Space Jets. Humankind’s future is in the hands of the game’s most notorious guns-for-hire. Time to squash some bugs!

In addition, all Far Cry 5 players will have access to new Mars-themed assets in Far Cry Arcade, available now.

Under siege and cut off from the rest of the world, players will join forces with residents of Hope County and form the Resistance.

E3: ARia's Legacy Trailer Released

We spoke about Pixel Crushers ARia's Legacy just before the show, and now we have the official trailer for the upcoming AR escape room game. You can check it out below.

ARia's Legacy is the first mobile escape room game using AR (augmented reality) technology. Instead of displaying objects on a table in front of you, it creates a virtual environment around your physical space that has you walking around your room discovering parts that were never there before.

Their Twitter page also had a bunch of footage of players playing so I recommend checking that out as well. If you're actually at E3 they are at booth 2454.

Run Jump Fail Out Now On Steam

Run Jump Fail is the latest game from Luke O'Connor, who previously released Kapsul Infinite on Steam. In Run Jump Fail is a platformer where you will...fail, a lot:

"Run Jump Fail puts you in control of the hapless HappyMan, and tasks you with guiding him through a whole load of treacherous obstacle courses. You'll fail a lot along the way, but watching HappyMan collapse and flail when he's just run into a wall, or tripped on a ledge, or been hit by a big red spinning thing is a lot of fun.

Seriously, failing is 90% of the fun. So fail away."

You can check out the trailer and screenshots below. But make sure to head over to Steam to pick it up for only $7.99. Of course if you're a Patreon at the $4.00+ level you have a chance at getting a free copy as well.
