In this period of time, for example, the currently 212,815 founders from 164 countries played over 2.8 million hours, harvested almost 512 million resources, erected 178,477 buildings and farmed 13.1 million carrots. The tragic aspect: 124,179 deceased player characters in PvP mode stand against 850,811 killed rabbits. It seems the players are truly ready for the official start of the game on July 17, 2017.

What is Albion Online?
Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG from Sandbox Interactive, set in the medieval fantasy world of Albion. Whether playing a hardened fighter, a farmer, a merchant or a master craftsman, in the player-driven world every single weapon and every single building is created by the players. Thanks to a “you are what you wear” system free of typical class restrictions, a skilled archer can instantly become a powerful mage, and the players define their own role within the game world. PvE, PvP or the battle guild vs guild, every action in the game has a meaning … as well as consequences. PvP battles in the danger zones of the game world are a “winner takes all” affair. Albion Online is the first PC game to enable the exact same experience on tablets.
Albion Online is currently in its final beta phase. The official release is scheduled for July 17, 2017.
Journey seven years into the past to quell an uprising on the streets of King’s Row. A group of omnic separatists known as Null Sector has overwhelmed the area, and you must defeat the robots to liberate the city. You’ll need to suit up with your friends and join forces as Tracer, Torbjörn, Reinhardt, and Mercy in a brand-new cooperative brawl. It’s Tracer’s very first mission, and the future depends on you.
You’ll be able to unlock pieces of the past during this ultimate recall, as all in-game Loot Boxes have been replaced with Uprising Loot Boxes, containing mementos from the earlier eras of Overwatch. And once you’ve unlocked an Overwatch Uprising item, it will be yours forever.
Check out the blog post for additional information on Overwatch Uprising, and hear more from Jeff Kaplan in our latest Developer Update video. For details on all the updates the event brings to the game, including a change to the Eichenwalde map, see the full patch notes.
This latest update introduces Tethered to a whole new PC audience, featuring two new control methods, a dusk and dawn checkpoint style save system and adds divine slow-motion and fast-forward features, allowing you to play at your own pace. You can also elect to skip the tutorial and dive straight into the game.
“It didn’t feel right that players who weren’t ready to leap into the realms of VR couldn’t experience the magical worlds of Tethered, so we rebuilt the game to support a more traditional style of PC play”, said Scott Kirkland, Managing Director of Secret Sorcery. “By removing the requirement for a VR headset, we’re fulfilling the promise that we made to ourselves and fans in terms of opening up Tethered to more players. Now all PC gamers can enjoy this wonderful sky-borne island world that we’ve so lovingly created”.
Become a Spirit Guardian in Tethered, caring for the adorable and industrious Peeps. Their beautiful island paradise has descended into chaos, ransacked nightly by a plague of wicked creatures. By gathering an ancient and mystical life force known as Spirit Energy and helping the Peeps build up their settlement and resources in preparation for nightfall, you can restore balance and banish the wicked blight once and for all! Tethered features 13 exquisitely crafted levels, a competitive leaderboard (which contrasts your godly prowess with that of your friends) and a superb G.A.N.G. award nominated interactive score.
Tethered is available for PC, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive via Steam for £18.99. $24.99, €22.99.
