Après être sorti au printemps sur Mac et PC, voici que l’adaptation réussie d’un classique des jeux de plateau Games Workshop va faire ses premiers pas sur la tablette tactile d’Apple. Les terminators et les aliens de Space Hulk y seront ainsi disponibles à compter du 5 décembre prochain, pour la modique somme de 9,99 $. Notez que les parties seront compatibles multiplateformes (PC / iOS) et qu’une version pour le système d’exploitation Android est potentiellement prévue par la suite. Pour plus d’informations sur le jeu voyez notre article Space Hulk : dans l’espace, personne ne vous entend prier ainsi que le site www.spacehulk-game.com.
Dans un registre différent mais néanmoins tout aussi tactique, Fortress Metz, la nouvelle extension de Battle Academy vient pour sa part d’arriver tout juste sur iPad. Et bien sûr aussi sur PC, vous pouvez d’ailleurs vous procurer cette extension dans notre boutique partenaire. Au menu de cet add-on, la troisième armée américaine et ses combats en Lorraine en 1944, soit 10 missions jouables en solo et 4 à deux joueurs, compatibilité multiplateforme inclue. Par la même occasion sachez que Battle Academy a été patché en version 2.5 (cf. ce changelog). Quant au futur Battle Academy 2, sur le thème en théorie du front de l’est, le jeu est toujours en développement et on n’en sait guère plus pour l’instant. Pour plus d’infos sur Fortress Metz voyez par exemple nos tests de Battle Academy – Operation Husky et Battle Academy : Blitzkrieg France.
Communiqués
Copenhagen, Denmark – November 26th, 2013 – Danish development studio Full Control today revealed that the first Warhammer 40,000 based title will be available on iPad on December 5th. S pace Hulk, the 3D digital adaption of the best-selling board game will launch on the App Store for iPad this December priced at $9.99. Featuring cross-platform play between iPad, PC and Mac, the iPad release follows the successful PC and Mac launch earlier in summer 2013.
“We are excited to unleash Space Hulk, to a new generation of tablet players”, said Thomas Hentschel Lund, CEO of Full Control. “With single player turn based action, intense cross platform multiplayer battles, Space Hulk is destined to become a cult classic”.
Space Hulk is a 3D digital turn based strategy game that recreates the classic claustrophobic board game experience for single player and multiplayer. Set in the isolated corridors and tomb-like chambers of an ancient vessel lost in the graveyard of space, players lead a small army of fearless Space Marine Terminators to battle in a ferocious fight for survival against hordes of predatory alien Genestealers. Based on the « Sin of Damnation » campaign from the 3rd edition board game, Space Hulk includes a robust 12-mission single-player campaign.
Developed by Full Control, Space Hulk will be available on the App Store for iOS on December 5th, 2013. For more information about Space Hulk, please visit: http://www.spacehulk-game.com/

Epsom, UK – November 27, 2013 – One of the most critically-acclaimed tactical wargames, Battle Academy, adds a new recruit to its ranks: Fortress Metz.
Metz, located in Lorraine, has for centuries been an historic garrison town. After its annexation to Germany following the Battle of France in 1940, it became a stronghold for the Third Reich and a major target for the Allied forces. Following the Normandy landings, the U.S. Third Army under the command of General George S. Patton attacked the city fortifications and, after four months of fighting, broke through and freed Metz from occupation in late 1944.
With new Panzer Brigades and units like the Hummel, Sdkfz 234/1 armored cars and more, Fortress Metz is a must-have expansion for any wargamer interested in reliving those days!
The game is available for PC, Mac and iPad as an in-app purchase.
We are also releasing the v2.5 patch for Battle Academy which includes new units, objects, tiles from the Fortress Metz campaign, memory optimization, AI and multiplayer stability improvements, bug fixes and much more!
You can download the patch here. iPad users can get the update via iTunes. A full change list can be found here.

Fortress Metz is an add-on for Battle Academy and requires Battle Academy to play!
