VANCOUVER, June 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Axion Ventures Inc.
("Axion" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: AXV; OTCQX: AXNVF) is
pleased to announce the official delivery of 'Season 1' of Rising
Fire to distribution partner, Tencent. This content payload, officially named
Season 1, represents nearly 6 months of content creation and
technical tuning by Axion's Shanghai HQ on various attributes of
Rising Fire for which details are outlined below. As Tencent uploads and integrates Season 1 onto
their WeGame servers over the next 14 days, users are expected to
be able to play this newest version by the end of June 2019. Axion will make gameplay footage
available in the near future.
"The release of Season 1 of Rising Fire represents a major step
forward for our Company and I am proud of the work that has been
attributed to this newest and largest content payload," stated
Todd Bonner, Chairman and CEO of
Axion. "The scope and size of Season 1 is three times larger than
any update that Axion has produced for Tencent in the past and is the culmination of
almost 6 months of work by our impressive team at our Shanghai HQ.
We look forward to report retention numbers from Season 1 as it is
fully integrated onto the WeGame platform."
Season 1 | Details
Addition of First Person Shooter (FPS) View

views, and vice versa, using a hotkey.

more accurate aiming.
4 New High-Tech Weapons
- Shrink gun

upon hitting the target)

Challenge Mode - these are quests/challenges such as:

monsters while avoiding deadly laser beams.

enemies.
- Ace Guard - players escort and
give protection to a "doctor" character.
- Heatwave Wilderness - players capture monsters.

Ranks - designed to improve player retention

Shooting Range - designed to improve player retention
- Players use the bullets that they collected from the PvE mode
to shoot monsters in the shooting range and acquire rare weapons
(only found in the shooting range).

weapons collected.

The in-game Head-Up Display (HUD) was re-designed for better
player experience.
As Season 1 is fully entrenched on WeGame, the Company expects
that Rising Fire will begin to move to the third and final stage of
dissemination on Tencent's distribution roll-out to 100 million
gamers toward the end of 2019.
