What goes on within huge teams of artists, developers, and managers? What are the ups and downs of game development? What challenges are associated with a new generation of hardware and graphics? Revelations of Ryse is a short series that aims to provide an inside look at the development, teams, and planning of Crytek’s Xbox One release title Ryse: Son of Rome, due November 22^nd.

Fábio M. Da Silva is an FX Artist for Ryse. He has been passionate about videogames for almost his entire life, seeing them as a platform to tell the stories he wanted to tell. Although he learned programming as well, the visual part of games – from animating to modeling – connected more to him. Fábio started at Guerilla Games with Killzone 3 and Killzone Shadow Fall. But being a Far Cry and Roman Empire fan, the chance to work on Ryse: Son of Rome at Crytek was one of a lifetime.

Crytek have announced that their free-to-play shooter Warface will enter an exciting new "Sneak Peek" phase tomorrow. For a chance to join the action players can still register at www.warface.com.

Players will have a wealth of new content to explore when the game update takes place, including new locations, game modes and rewards. The Sneak Peek phase will introduce a spectacular new Chinese setting that takes the fight against Blackwood forces to the Far East. Players will also be able to suit up as female soldiers for the first time, as well as trying their hand at the brand new Destruction mode – a fresh take on classic capture and hold gameplay. Further updates mean Warface will now offer five daily Coop missions instead of three, and allow players to earn greater rewards by setting pre-game challenges. Finally, a new tutorial system will be introduced so that everyone might be able to prepare for battle by undertaking short, class-specific training missions.

Vom 25. - 30. September 2013 ist es wieder soweit, die sechste Warface (closed) Beta-Runde geht an den Start.

Geht auf www.Warface.com, meldet euch an und habt die Chance einer der glücklichen Ausererwählten zu werden.

Wir vom Warface-HQ Team wünschen euch viel Glück und Spass.

Ryse: Son of Rome erhält die USK Einstufung "ab 18 Jahre" und wird somit ungeschnitten in Deutschland auf den Markt kommen.
