Firewall Zero Hour’s Operation: Heartland & Digital Deluxe Edition Bundles Hit PS VR Tomorrow

Hey Guys! Shabs Here, Game Director On Firewall Zero Hour*, The Team-based Multiplayer Shooter Exclusive To Ps Vr. Today, We’re Excited To Unveil The Third Season Of Firewall Zero Hour – Operation: Heartland.

Arriving October 22, Our Latest Operation Finally Brings Our Contractors To The Heartland — The Land Of Red, White, And Blue — The United States Of America! The Trailer Above Will Give You A Taste Of What’s In Store This Season. You Can Never Be Too Prepared, Contractor.

To Recap Last Season, Our Contractors Were Dropped Into The Underworld Of Operation: Dark Web. Players Welcomed A Ton Of New Content Added To The Game, Including Two New Maps (Newsroom And Cargo), Two New Contractors** (Kane And Proxy), Two New Weapons (Z1 Reaper And Sten), And Three New Pieces Of Equipment (Motion Sensor, Instant Smoke, And Concussion Mine). Not Too Mention The Vast Amount Of Cosmetic Rewards, Earned By Players Completing Weekly Missions Throughout The Eight Weeks.

With The Launch Of Operation: Heartland, We Keep The Momentum Going! All Players Can Complete This Season’s Free Missions To Earn Free Cosmetic Rewards, And With An Op Pass ($9.99 Usd), Players Unlock Additional Premium And Bonus Missions Weekly, For Additional Cosmetic Rewards.

Here’s A Full Rundown Of What’s Coming In Operation: Heartland.

New Maps

Operation: Heartland will have two new maps, free for all players, with the first map — Prepper — launching tomorrow. The Prepper map takes place in a doomsday prepper’s bunker network, somewhere on the edge of Arizona, and the edge of society. Keep an eye on the TV screens and conspiracy boards existing in the Prepper bunker. You never know what you might find!

Players will also find themselves immediately in this scene when loading up the game, as the Prepper bunker is the new Main Menu and Lobby environment this season. Later on this season, Operation: Heartland’s mid-season update coming November 26 will introduce another brand new free map to players, called Gauntlet. Gauntlet is a training ground located in the state of Virginia, and will be an instant favorite for fans of Firewall Zero Hour’s Shoothouse map.

New Contractors

This season brings two more Contractors into the fray! The two new Contractors and their Skills are accessible via the Operation: Heartland Op Pass. The first Contractor, available tomorrow, is Bear. An expert hunter and tracker, Bear grew up in the state of North Carolina, and later served his country as a marksman in an elite military division. His Skill of “Hunter” removes the red enemy chevron above his character. Players are sure to be fans of running as Bear, with his expert stealth “Hunter” Skill making him even harder for enemies to detect! Additionally, coming mid-season on November 26 is a second Contractor, Dom. Dom is our first Contractor from France, and his Skill of “Survivalist” will allow players to receive an additional downed state.

New Equipment

Operation: Heartland’s mid-season update will bring a new piece of lethal equipment to your arsenal: the Nerve Gas Mine. Free for all players, the Nerve Gas Mine unlocks at Level 17 and for 7300 Crypto. The Nerve Gas Mine is that perfect mix of both tactical and lethal abilities in one piece of equipment–making it a great choice for both Attackers and Defenders. After placement, the Nerve Gas Mine is activated by enemies who enter its radius. Once triggered, the mine emits a lethal cloud of gas, causing enemies to take damage over time, and eventually be killed if they stay inside the radius too long.

New Weapons

Also coming in Firewall Zero Hour – Operation: Heartland are two new weapons: the TC1 Crossbow and the Classic Reg K8, available upon completion of their corresponding Free Missions.

The TC1 Crossbow is a modern crossbow that shoots bolts, perfect for quieter take downs. The TC1 Crossbow is available Week 1. And coming Week 5 (mid-season) is the Classic Reg K8, an iconic bull-pup design that features a fully-automatic rate of fire. It’s a powerful assault rifle for medium to long distance engagements that packs a punch. Players will use both of these weapons in a variety of new Missions throughout Operation: Heartland.

New Legendary Weapon Skin

The Legendary Weapon Skin of Operation: Heartland is Meiko’s ZS — available to Op Pass holders who complete all Free, Premium and Bonus Missions in Operation: Heartland (a total of 24 missions) and redeemed for 250,000 Crypto.

New Cosmetic Rewards

There are over 24 new cosmetic Rewards are available this season. Upon completion of Missions, a variety of different trinkets, face paints, and camo skins can be equipped by players. In addition to Free Mission Rewards, Op Pass holders have access to Premium and Bonus Mission Rewards. This season also marks the first time that different colored lasers for weapons will be available as Rewards!

Free Blood & Truth Trinket

We’re super psyched to have partnered with Sony London Studio on an exclusive Blood & Truth trinket, available for free in-game for all Firewall Zero Hour players starting tomorrow. Customize your weapon in Firewall Zero Hour with the Blood & Truth Poker Chip trinket, and show that you may have spent a bit of time in a certain London casino.

Hack Keys

One of the most popular items in Firewall Zero Hour, Hack Keys, are available as a bundle with this season’s Op Pass (Op Pass + 25 Hack Keys, $29.99 USD), as well as on their own (5 Hack Keys pack, $4.99 USD). Each Hack Key allows you to instantly complete one Operational Mission. You won’t gain XP for Missions completed this way, but you’ll be instantly awarded full Crypto, in addition to the Mission Reward (cosmetics only). Hack Keys are a great option for players who don’t have as much time to play as they would like. Also, if you have any Hack Keys left over from last season (Operation: Dark Web), you can use them on Missions this season (Operation: Heartland).

New Bundles – Firewall Zero Hour Digital Deluxe Edition and Deluxe Pack

We’re excited to announce that, beginning tomorrow, Firewall Zero Hour is getting an exclusive Digital Deluxe Edition and Deluxe Pack on the PS store!

FIFA 20 Gameplay and Volta Football: Your Questions Answered

FIFA 20 Gameplay and Volta Football: Your Questions Answered

An Exhaustive New Interview With The Team Behind Fifa's Intense New Volta Football Mode.

Hello, PlayStation fans! A few weeks ago, we gave you the opportunity to ask your burning questions about EA Sports FIFA 20 and its shiny new game mode: Volta Football. We sat down with Jeff Antwi, Producer for FIFA 20 on Volta, and Shaun Pejic, Gameplay Producer, to ask them some of your questions and more. Read on to find out the details!

Volta Football

Q: What the thought process was behind Volta Football? Why bring back street football?
JA: We’re always looking for community feedback. And one of the most requested features or modes was the ability to play street football — and when would we be bringing it back to FIFA.

It’s something we have been working on for quite some time. And we are really excited to be able to unveil Volta Football this year.

Q: What makes Volta Football unique and interesting?
JA: In general, the newness of it, and the depth of the mode. The fact that it’s built on the foundation of a great gameplay engine. It’s a mode that is accessible to casual players… and at the same time, it has all the depth that FIFA veteran players will expect.

So, we are really excited about the totality and the massive size of the mode. It’s not a little thing. It’s a big part of the game.

Q: Did FIFA Street influence the development of Volta Football? (via Tom Clancy’s da Silva)
JA: I should clarify [this] is not FIFA Street, it’s street football. That’s a key difference. It’s based on authenticity and being culturally relevant, making sure that we are presenting an experience that is fun and authentic.

We were influenced by actual street football legends, we traveled the world, we went to Rio, Amsterdam, London, and all over. We were so inspired by the legends we spoke to, we tried to incorporate them into the experience as well.

We were also inspired by real footballers that grew up playing street football… One of the people we spoke to was Ed van Gills, who in Amsterdam is considered the godfather of street football. He provided us with a lot of insight on what street football is all about and the things we should be looking to do in terms of how to design Volta Football. So, thanks to that influence we were able to develop the mode and a number of features around it.

Q: Is there a big difference between the skills you need for Volta Football as opposed to a regular FIFA match?
JA: In Volta it’s a smaller pitch, you have different elements to deal with, including the wall height, different number of players, and so forth. In terms of navigating the space it’s going to feel different, not to mention the ball is actually different… [and] behaves in a slightly different way because it’s more of a futsal ball which is heavier.

Q: Is the gameplay in Volta Football closer to futsal than to Stadium football?
JA: Yes, I would say that’s pretty accurate. And what’s really cool is that we actually have futsal as a separate experience within Volta, such as 3v3, 4v4, 5v5, keepers, no keepers and then we have futsal with the rules that come with it. So, it’s penalty kicks, free kicks, and that experience is probably closer to 11v11 gameplay in FIFA.

But in general, futsal is kind of the base of all of it in terms of how the players are moving around, quick passing, the pace of it being really back and forth and fun. And then when you add walls there is constant fun and action.

Q: Will Volta Football include a Career Mode and Online Mode? (via @Soulrocketzero)
JA: With Volta, [we] developed a Volta Tour Mode which is a PvE experience. It’s an offline experience where you are playing against user-generated squads, and the world is populated by everybody who’s playing the game. So, you are competing against everyone else in the community.

And then we have a PvP experience which is similar to Seasons. You’re playing, you’re getting promoted, you’re facing allocation, you’re playing through up to 10 divisions.

And that’s what we have in the online experience [for Volta] at kick-off. But we also have some other modes we will get to later…

Q: Will all the teams be available in Volta? (via Armando Toledo Sepúlveda)
JA: All of the licensed teams and licensed players that we have access to [for FIFA 20] are available in our kick-off experience, so it’s nice because you can be playing 3v3, 4v4, 5v5 in all the environments that are available to you and you will also be able to bring your favorite team and player into an environment where you wouldn’t normally see them.

Q: For Volta, will you be able to play mixed teams, such as men vs women, using your personalized characters?
JA: Yeah, that’s one of the massive innovations for us. One of the things we are really excited about is being able to have male and female players on the teams, playing in the same pitch at the same time. For example, if you create a character in your likeness and your friend creates a character in their likeness, you can play on the same team at the same time [or] compete against each other. That’s one of the biggest innovations for us, Volta as a mode being diverse and fully inclusive as well.

FIFA 20

Q: At a broader level, what are the biggest gameplay improvements planned for FIFA 20?
SP: The biggest foundation for the gameplay improvements is that we listened to all the community feedback. We brought in a lot of people, professional FIFA players as well as game changers and casual players. So, listening to all of this feedback has produced a set of features for FIFA 20 that addresses a lot of the feedback that we’ve been getting.

Q: Was there a specific piece of fan feedback that really resonated with you guys for FIFA 20?
SP: Yes, there are quite a few actually. AI defending… we wanted to bring back manual defending a little bit. The feedback was that the AI players did too much work for you in FIFA 19, they were helping you out too much. So, we worked a lot on the AI to kind of slow the game down if you want to play that way and give you more time. It incorporates more manual defending so it’s up to the defender user to use their skill to try and counter that aspect of the game.

JA: And on the flip side of that, the work that was done in straight dribbling to create more dynamic one-on-one situations. Volta also benefited from that work because it’s a shared engine.

Q: Are you planning any additions to in-game tactics?
SP: We’re adding extra player instructions in FIFA 20, so you’ll have more options for your team. [For example], your defensive midfielder has the option to drop into the center-back position. And then, the center-backs go wide — so now he can be that pivot guy and try to play diagonal balls. That’s just one I can tell you about, but we have more new tactics this year.

I can also speak to a few other gameplay features we haven’t touched upon yet, like how free kicks and penalty kicks are completely new compared to FIFA 19. So, the new approach this year is actually based off of Lionel Messi. We watched videos of him having this accuracy with the ball where he can spin it any way he wants.

Now, you can press shoot and there is a different aiming mechanic. With the right stick, you can adjust the spin you would like to add — top spin, side spin, or you can even try to get the knuckleball effect for free kicks.

[We also now] have the ability to add the timing shot mechanic to free kicks and penalty kicks too. So, I think that’s a really cool new feature that gives more depth to the gameplay.

Q: Will FIFA 20 appeal to newcomers and veterans alike?
JA: Absolutely! As an example… skill moves haven’t necessarily been the easiest thing. So, we wanted to simplify that.

We created the simplified Skill move mechanic, which is by holding [L2 and R2] in the controller you gain access to a whole suit of skill moves and it’s just based on the direction that the player is moving. And if you don’t want to do that, we have all of the right stick skill moves that we’ve had traditionally in FIFA.

And we added a R3 mechanic in which by pressing that button you lift your ball into the air and that’s what we call simplified flick-ups, there are all kinds of skillful things that you can do with that mechanic as well.

FIFA 20 is out worldwide on September 27, 2019.

How to Survive in Remnant: From the Ashes, out August 20

How to Survive in Remnant: From the Ashes, out August 20

Get Good Or Die Trying.

The Many Worlds Of Remnant: From The Ashes Are Harsh And Unforgiving. As One Of The Final Living Remnants Of A Beaten Down Humanity Struggling For Survival, You Will Die. A Lot. In Order To Stand Up For Mankind And Overcome The Otherworldly Creatures That Threaten The Future Of The Human Race, You’ll Need To Git Gud.

Offensive Maneuvers

You Know What They Say: The Best Offense Is A Good Offense. Bringing The Hurt To Your Adversaries Is As Simple As The Pull Of A Trigger. Swap Between Your Long Gun For Powerful, Longer-range Attacks Or Your Hand Gun For Quicker, Closer Range Damage. If You Find Yourself In A Bind Or If Your Ammo Reserves Are Running Low, A Strong Swing Of Your Melee Weapon May Be The Only Thing That Keeps You In The Land Of The Living.

Every Move You Make

While Making Your Way Through The Hazardous Worlds Of Remnant, Know That Each Step May Be Your Last. Your Every Movement Must Be Deliberate. Despite Their Ferocity, Enemies Will Telegraph Their Attacks, Giving Survivors With A Well-honed Dodge Instinct A Chance To Avoid Almost Anything Thrown Their Way. Dodging And Sprinting Both Consume Stamina, So Timing These Actions Is Crucial. Well-timed Dodges May Be The Difference Between Life And Death.

A Little Help From Your Friends

Though Going It Alone Is A More Than Viable Strategy, One Of The Most Valuable Assets A Survivor Has Is Their Friends. If You Need Support In Your Struggle For Survival, Recruit Up To Two Friends And Head Out Together. Although Outside Assistance May Prove Invaluable, Be Forewarned: The Game’s Difficulty Does Scale Based On Party Size. Survivors Looking To Team Up Can Host A Public Game, Invite Their Friends, Or Let The Game Matchmake You With Other Players. Remember, All Loot Drops In Remnant Are Instanced, So Whatever Is Picked Up By One Player Will Be Gained By The Whole Team. Except For Ammo. Hoard That For Yourself.

Progress Makes Perfect

In Remnant: From The Ashes True Growth Comes Mostly In The Form Of Gear. As You Explore The Game’s Varied Worlds, You Will Discover New Weapons, Armor And Accessories. Your Weapons And Armor Can Be Upgraded To Make You More Powerful. Epic Boss Weapons And Supernatural Weapon Mods Can Also Be Crafted From Materials You Pick Up Along The Way. Beyond These Tools Of The Trade, Survivors Will Unlock Various Passive Traits To Augment Their Arsenal. Completing Quests And Killing Enemies Will Help You Level Up Giving You Points To Allocate Towards The Traits Of Your Choice.

No Two Journeys the Same

From The Moment Players Set Foot Into The Devastated Streets Of Ruined Earth, Up To The Final Showdown With Humanity’s Otherworldly Oppressors, Each Survivor’s Playthrough Will Be Uniquely Their Own. Creating A Character, Re-rolling A World, Or Joining Another Survivor’s Game Dynamically Constructs An Adventure From A Large Pool Of Possible Permutations. This Dynamic Generation Means Loot, Enemy Spawns, Map Layouts, Bosses And Secrets Are Unique To Each Experience.

Discover The Hidden Mysteries Of Remnant: From The Ashes On August 20. Pre-order Now To Get Early Access Starting August 16.
