Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy – CPA Orientation Trailer

NIS America has released a new trailer for the dungeon crawler RPG, Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy, arriving exclusively for PlayStation Vita on June 9th.

This new trailer will introduce you to basics of forming your squad. Vice-captain of the Xth Squad Kaito Saeki will be supporting your squad during your missions and explains how to effectively form a synergized squad. Blood Codes contain the genome of history’s greatest heroes that determine the role of each member, and each member can only use one blood code at a time. Experiment with different Blood Code combinations and be mindful of how long you dive into the Abyss – the longer you stay, the more aggressive the Variants will become.

GOG Galaxy Beta Available to Public

For the past few months, GOG Galaxy – the DRM-free online gaming platform – has been in the closed alpha stages of testing with the help of thousands of gamers. Today, it’s ready to expand into an open beta test.

GOG Galaxy features one-click installation and auto-updates for its library of over 1000 titles, but it also stays true to GOG.com values: it’s all optional. Automatic updating can be disabled for any game; but if you leave it on and a patch breaks something, GOG Galaxy will offer its rollback feature to restore a previous version of the game. Gamers can also download a standalone, DRM-free backup copy of every game, so keeping purchases safe is easier than ever.

GOG Galaxy offers friends list, game time tracking, achievements, and chat. Gamers can now talk to each other, connect with their group of friends, and see what their friends are playing. GOG Galaxy is also an online multiplayer & matchmaking solution that, in select titles, includes cross-play: platform-independent multiplayer between gamers on GOG.com and Steam.

All gamers are invited to join the gamer-friendly platform. Open beta signups are live now at www.gog.com/galaxy.
