From May 13 through May 23rd Steam players can participate in the Anniversary Giveaway, have fun during in-game activities and get the free DLC with the Cromwell B; which is an absolute iconic British Tier VI tank.

Are you ready to party and play matches with 160 million other players?

Since the launch on Steam, millions of regular PC players were, for the first time, able to join via Steam and be able to play side by side and against each other via cross-play. All players can master five different vehicle types with 11 different nations and over 600 vehicles, explore unique maps based on fields and cities from all across the world and perfect their skills in different game modes that will challenge their teamwork or individual tactics.

Thanks to its loyal fanbase of tankers, the game has also won 4 Golden Joystick awards and two Guinness World Records for the most players simultaneously logged on to an MMO server.

Get a Free DLC with the Cromwell B!

There can be no birthday party without birthday presents and that is why Wargaming decided that everyone who is joining the festivities via Steam is getting a free Tier VI British Cromwell tank.

The famous British Cromwell tank is super fun to play with because of its decent speed, manoeuvrability and rapid reload time.

The Cromwell gives players various styles to play and provides its part for a flawless victory!

Starting from May 13th at 19:00h Central European Summer Time the DLC “Lightweight Fighter Pack” will receive a 100% discount on Steam worth €17.99.

Following the long-awaited and delayed movie release Top Gun Maverick, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020′s Top Gun expansion will be published. The add-on DLC will be free.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020′s free Top Gun expansion will be published. The expansion was announced a year ago and was originally scheduled to be launched in November 2021, however that date was later pushed back. On Twitter, Microsoft confirms the Top Gun: Maverick expansion’s release date. Fighter jets from the film are included in the free DLC. Although the developer Asobo has not revealed which aircraft will be featured in the expansion, it is known that players will be able to fly in Tom Cruise’s fighter plane. An earlier trailer also indicates the inclusion of an American aircraft carrier for landing and takeoff.

The release date is slightly earlier than that of the film of the same name, which is scheduled for May 27. Microsoft had stated that the release of the Flight Simulator extension and the film would take place around the same time. However, no official and precise release date had been set.

sniper-elite-5Rebellion, one of the world’s most successful video games developers and publishers, has today released a new trailer for Sniper Elite 5 which showcases the game’s features and game modes, including the first glimpse of multiplayer and Invasion Mode. With all footage captured in game, the new Features Trailer is available to view HERE.

The game’s expansive campaign is set in France in 1944 and centres around the events of D-Day. Elite marksman Karl Fairburne uncovers a Nazi plot called Operation Kraken that could turn the tide of the war back in their favour. Working in the shadows behind enemy lines, Karl has to use all the skills at his disposal to destroy Operation Kraken and the mastermind behind it Abelard Möller. The full Campaign is playable in two player online co-op allowing players to team up as they fight the Axis force and track down Möller.

However, human players can also try to thwart Karl’s progress as the new Invasion Mode allows an opposing player to join your game as an Axis Sniper tasked with hunting Karl down and taking him out. The invading player can make us of AI Axis soldiers to help them find Karl’s location, creating a high stakes game of cat and mouse. Meanwhile Karl can utilise phones placed within the level to gather intel on the invader and their location. Invasion Mode can be toggled on/off in the game menu.

Multiplayer is not restricted to the campaign as a suite of tense multiplayer combat modes are also available. Complete with all format crossplay, Sniper Elite 5’s multiplayer features four core game modes each with a host of customisation options allowing players to create their own matches.

The Sniper Elite franchise has always been recognised for its advance gun physics and this have been elevated even further for Sniper Elite 5. With weaponry painstaking recreated from real world reference to ensure maximum authenticity, the guns in Sniper Elite 5 contain a meticulous level of detail and all have their own unique feel and characteristics to the player.

The series defining Kill Cam has also been elevated. Clinical kills with pistols and SMG will now trigger the Kill Cam in addition to rifle and takedown kills. Bullets will ricochet off bone, causing increased devastation which is shown to the player in even more gory detail than ever before.

Weapon customisation has also been greatly enhanced with players now able to change a weapon’s stock, magazines, receiver, barrel, scopes and iron sights as well as its materials. This allows every player to create a suite of weapons that perfectly suit their individual playstyle as well as the mission that they are undertaking. Customisation options are unlocked in the game by discovering workbenches that are hidden within the maps. At these benches players can then customise their loadout meaning that they can adapt their playstyle and approach on the fly without having to restart a mission.

New traversal mechanics have unlocked even more playstyle options. The routes you take can define if you are stealthy and stay in the shadows or go loud and take the fight to the enemies head on. The ability to climb vines for example allows Karl to reach new areas of the map giving him sneaky routes, great vantage points and access to secret locations further adding to each mission’s replayability.

Sniper Elite 5 will launch globally on Thursday, May 26th 2022 on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4 & 5, Epic, Steam and Windows Store.
