Extreme radioactive sunlight and environmental hazards, ziplines, wingsuits, climbing gear, creatures like the Rock Drake and Lantern Pug, and more await in these vast caves.

 

Aberration will be available as a standalone expansion pack ($19.99) and as part of the ARK: Explorer’s Edition (Season Pass). “Aberration” will be the second Expansion Pack for ARK: Survival Evolved, joining the desert-themed Scorched Earth map in continuing to shed light onto the vast mysteries of ARK! It will release worldwide December 12th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam.

Aberration Expansion Pack Features:

Tame New Creatures
The intense radiation of Aberration has led to incredible genetic mutations, resulting in new creatures with amazing abilities! Clamber up walls & glide through the air on the back of a camouflaging chameleon-like ‘Rock Drake’, keep the dark at bay with a friendly ‘Lantern Pug’, or grab and toss multiple creatures simultaneously with a massive ‘Cave Crustacean’, or — if you are talented enough to tame one — command the vile ‘Reaper Queen’ to impregnate your foes with a horrifying reproductive chest-burster!

Learn advanced engrams to dominate the harsh environment, protect yourself with hazmat outfits, charge lanterns, explosive rounds, batteries, glowsticks, railguns and much more. Thrive by gathering new resources, using fishing baskets, gas collectors, fortify your home within the caverns using cliff structures, and much more!

Conquer New Challenges
With the maintenance systems of this new ARK malfunctioning, earthquakes, radiation exposure, gas leaks, and Element chambers are among the many hazards that survivors will learn to grapple with Aberration’s varied biomes, both aboveground and below the surface. Among Aberration’s greatest challenges is the hierarchy of ‘Nameless’: unrelenting, Element-infused monstrosities, requiring constant vigilance to defend against! And in the deepest depths of Aberration, their terrifying master awaits… will you be among the survivors powerful enough to face it?

Since its launch into Steam’s early access program in June 2015, over 12 Million survivors have been stranded on the ARK island, wandering into an incredible land to discover how to tame, train, ride, and breed the 100+ dinosaurs and primeval creatures roaming the land.

ARK: Survival Evolved is rated PEGI 16 (Realistic looking violence).

Berättelser som tar dig utanför din bekvämlighetszon

October 5, 2017

Documentaries Around the World kommer att finnas tillgänglig via Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Sony och Microsoft från och med den 9 oktober.

Från övervakning och dataskydd till den underbara reproduktionsverden, vi visar berättelser som väcker din nyfikenhet och uppmärksamhet.

Denna månads Walk This Way-kollektion fokuserar på genuina berättelser med samlingen Documentaries Around the World, som böjar visas i Skandinavien från och med 9 oktober. 

Till att börja med, en dokumentär som manar till handling. ”Democracy” tar upp frågan om hur digitalisering har förändrat samhället. Medan data har kommit att bli “den nya oljan”, håller dataskydd på att bli den nya “föroreningskontrollen”. Denna kreativa dokumentär ger förbluffande inblickar i lagstiftningsmiljön på EU-nivå. En fängslande berättelse om hur en grupp politiker försöker skydda dagens samhälle mot effekterna av Big Data och massövervakning, med insikter från politiker, aktivister och till och med kontroversiella Edward Snowden.  Visas i Sverige och Danmark.

”Future Baby” är minst lika kontroversiell. En film om framtiden för mänsklig reproduktion och om vad som just nu händer mitt framför våra ögon. Undersökningen tar oss med runt om i världen, till patienter och forskare, äggdonatorer och surrogatmödrar, till laboratorier och kliniker. Förhoppningar och önskemål från framtida föräldrar sammanflätas med forskning om hur man optimerar det mänskliga genomet, med allt snabbare framsteg. Hur långt vill vi gå? Kommer att visas i Norge, Sverige och Danmark.

Tillgänglighet: Premiär på VOD Nationwide måndag 9 oktober på iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Sony och Microsoft.
Språk: Filmen kommer att visas i sin originalversion med svenska, danska och norska undertexter.
Mer information om Walk This Way inklusive fullständig katalog finns på: walkthisway.cineuropa.org
Bilder, ytterligare material och visningslänkar tillgängliga på begäran.

Meet COZMO: The Robot With A Brain And Even Bigger Personality

September 29, 2017

Cozmo is available in major retailers in Sweden from today!


Cozmo, the critically acclaimed U.S. hit from consumer robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) experts, Anki, is available in Sweden today. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of Ph.D. roboticists, world-class animators, and renowned game developers, Cozmo is one of the most sophisticated consumer robots available today.

Charming but with a mischievous side, Cozmo is a real-life robot like you have only seen in films. A boisterous, robotic sidekick with an extraordinary level of intelligence and emotional interaction, Cozmo refuses to sit tight and wait for fun: he is ready to play. The more Cozmo gets to know his human friends the more skilled he becomes, as new abilities and upgrades are unlocked.  

Boris Sofman, CEO and co-founder, Anki: “We’re bringing together robotics, artificial intelligence, game design, and film-like features to create a robot that people can form a physical and emotional bond with, just like a pet. Cozmo not only represents a significant engineering milestone, but is also a physical manifestation of the types of robots we’ve come to love in our favourite films.”


“At Anki, we are setting a new standard for the types of emotional experiences people can expect from consumer robotics products. We’re excited to see people in Sweden welcome Cozmo into their homes so they can see for themselves what’s possible in consumer robotics today.” added Sofman.  

Life with Cozmo
The free-to-download Cozmo app, which runs on compatible iOS, Android and Kindle Fire devices, comes packed with interactive content and constantly introduces new ways to play. Cozmo even brings his own toys to the game — three interactive Power Cubes that he is willing to share… when he feels like it. So, whether he is playing with his Cubes or challenging his human friend to one of his many games, he is always ready for action. What’s more, free software updates provide new abilities to keep the relationship between Cozmo and his human friend fresh all year round.

Hundreds of Emotions. A Few Tricks Up His Sleeves
Cozmo’s emotions are not random. His lively personality, driven by powerful AI., is brought to life with complex facial expressions, a host of emotions and his own emotive language. His vision system and sophisticated facial recognition software allow him to constantly scan his environment and recognise people. His eyes even light up when he sees a familiar face. Cozmo also comes with his own dynamic soundtrack that matches his mood and corresponds with the in-app games and activities, elevating playtime to a uniquely cinematic experience.

Coding Bought to Life
Cozmo’s big brain and even bigger personality are operated by wildly sophisticated robotic and AI systems. Code Lab gives you unprecedented access to his core functionality. Simply drag and drop a few blocks and see Cozmo act out your creation. With Code Lab, there are no limits to what you can create.

Decidedly Durable and Simply Secure
Cozmo comes with one base charger and three interactive Power Cubes as standard. He’s drop-tested and built to last. His 300+ parts are meticulously engineered to keep him alive for a long time to come. Cozmo is also as safe as he is strong. A local device-to-device connection means there’s no data stored in the cloud for others to access.

Customise your Cozmo
Cozmo’s colourful treads (Kr 199,99) come in a range of colours that can be changed to suit his many moods. See how he looks in Osmosis Blue, Luminous Lime, New Dawn Yellow and Crimson Flame. Or get crazy and try a combination. Cozmo’s carrying case (Kr 399,99) keeps Cozmo and all his accessories safe on your next adventure. Durable and cozy, it’s custom molded compartments hold 3 Power Cubes, 1 Charger, and 1 Cozmo robot. A sealed pocket stores other items you might need while on the go. Cozmo Collector’s Edition – the same robot, but in a sleek new Liquid Metal finish  Cozmo and Cozmo Collector’s Edition are available for Kr 2.499,99

Champions Crowned in $400K Crusaders of Light Raid Competition

September 14, 2017

In a neck-in-neck race to the finish, one team of 40 Crusaders has successfully completed the fastest Fort Desolation dungeon raid to win cash grand prize


NetEase’s (NASDAQ: NTES) Crusaders of Light $400K Fastest Dungeon Raid Competition came to an exciting conclusion this weekend as Team Ascension completed the Fort Desolation Dungeon in Heroic Mode in 3 minutes and 25.73 seconds (3’25.73”) to emerge victorious and claim the $400,000 team grand prize — $10,000 for each eligible team member.* 

Led by Team Leader “Helpmeplox” from Oceanside, Calif., the winning team of 40 Crusaders completed its fastest dungeon raid in the competition’s final minutes, after 136 attempts. In the end, the top three teams were neck and neck, with less than half a second separating the first and second place teams, and the third place team trailing just six seconds behind. 

The Fastest Dungeon Raid Competition was held July 13 through September 10 to celebrate the launch of Crusaders of Light, NetEase’s fully-fledged mobile MMORPG. Available now on iOS, Android, and PC via Facebook Gameroom, Crusaders of Light brings MMO fans all the online RPG action they could want across platforms, meaning players can continue questing in the fantasy realm of Milura with the same character, whether on the go on a mobile device or at home on PC. 

The Leader of the victorious team notes that: “Teamwork is important in any good MMO, and this win was the definition of a team effort. Our entire server put aside our differences and disputes, and remained objective in our decisions to win the competition. With 40 people trying to bring down the dungeon, we could not have won unless we came together and operated as one team — and that’s the honest truth. The fact that so many other awesome teams were posting such fast times made us fight that much harder.” 

• 13,467 players attempted Fort Desolation in Heroic Mode

• 451 40-person teams competed

• 17 guilds across 9 different servers worldwide made it onto the leaderboard

• First Place Team: 

• Guild Ascension

• Time 03.25.7344

• Second Place Team: 

• Guild Immortals

• Server Fertile Gorge (US-East Coast)

• Time: 03:26.1073

• Third Place Team: 

• Guild Levelz

• Server Blazing Plains (Europe)

• Time 03:32:4233


Check out Crusaders of Light today to experience a gorgeous 3D fantasy world, deep skill and crafting customizations, a plethora of challenging dungeons, and, for the first time ever on mobile, 40-person raids — available now as a free download. Additional content updates are expected to hit Crusaders of Light this fall.
