AN AMBITIOUS LINE-UP
The NACON game catalogue contains a diverse
selection of titles for all types of gamers, including fans of
racing sims, RPGs, roguelikes, deck-builders and much more. NACON
Connect raised the curtain on a number of future exciting
projects.
Fans of the World of Darkness got their first
look at some gameplay of Werewolf: The Apocalypse -
Earthblood. Combat in this brawler centres on the
character's werewolf form: players must unleash their supernatural
rage to confront world-threatening evil in the form of the
petroleum corporation Endron. The game will be available on
February the 4th, 2021 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series
X.
Vampire: The Masquerade -
Swansong was also featured with a dark and enthralling
cinematic trailer that set the scene for this promising Narrative
RPG from Big Bad Wolf.
For fans of Action RPGs, there was also good
news with the announcement of Steelrising, the new
project from the development studio Spiders. Jehanne Rousseau and
her team place you in the heart of an alternate Paris during the
French Revolution, where the automaton army of King Louis XVI is
terrorising and suppressing the
French people. Aegis, the main character, will
fight against this reign of terror to try and change the course of
History.
The Racing category was particularly well
represented at the conference with two very ambitious projects
revealed.
RiMS Racing is a game in
development at RaceWard Studio, a Milan-based team of experts that
have been developing motorcycle racing games for 20 years. This
simulation is based on a unique and innovative concept that makes
bike mechanics a core element of the game experience. Fans will
love the bike behaviour, which has benefited from the work done by
KT Racing on its proprietary game engine.
It's confirmed: a new game in the Test Drive
Unlimited franchise is in development at KT Racing. Test
Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is the new ambitious project
from Alain Jarniou and his team. Leveraging their experience making
motorsports simulations such as the WRC series, KT Racing and NACON
are offering their new vision of the franchise. Test Drive
Unlimited Solar Crown retains the DNA of the series, which
is based on a love of beautiful cars and the joy of driving around
a luxurious island world recreated at 1:1 scale. Players will
compete against each other in the Solar Crown, a competition with
mysterious stakes, to elevate their character's status within the
community.
A new genre is being added to NACON's catalogue:
roguelike games.
Rogue Lords, developed by
Cyanide and Leikir, takes place in a Baroque and Gothic 17th
century New England. You play as the devil, who has returned to
earth to fight the forces of good. Its unique art direction will
appeal to fans of Tim Burton's work.
Roguebook is a roguelike
deck-builder developed by the Belgian studio Abrakam, creators of
the game Faeria. With support from the renowned creator of Magic:
The Gathering, Richard Garfield, who adds his expertise as the
game's co-designer, Roguebook features innovative game mechanics
and a world that fans of the genre will love.
Brand-new gameplay for WRC 9
and Tennis World Tour 2, both of which release in
September, was also shown. Warhammer Chaosbane,
developed by Eko Software, ended the conference by announcing that
the game will soon be available on next gen consoles.
PERIPHERALS – PRESTIGIOUS NEW
COLLABORATIONS
In just a few years, NACON peripherals have
already won over gamers across the world. After the
acquisition of RIG in March, an industry-leading
headset brand for PC and console gamers, the director of
the peripherals department, Yannick
Allaert, today announced a prestigious new
collaboration during NACON Connect.
Having already sold over 3 million officially
licensed PlayStation®4 controllers, NACON is immensely proud to
announce they have entered into a licensing agreement with
Microsoft to create and distribute official accessories designed
for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.
Finally, to continue to support gamers in all
their experiences, NACON is pleased to announce that the
development of cloud gaming and the imminent arrival of 5G
will provide many new technological opportunities for the brand.
After discussions with various telecommunications operators,
including Orange in France, NACON will soon be
offering dedicated accessories for smartphone
gaming.
