Todd Harris, COO of Hi-Rez Studios stated, “SIEGE has always been a great opportunity for Hi-Rez to both share what it has learned and also benefit from the experiences of others. We have always enjoyed presenting our games locally, and receiving feedback from the community here.”

President of the GGDA Andrew Greenberg said, “Hi-Rez Studios has been generating a great deal of excitement, both in the South and internationally. Its recent Tribes: Ascend game has garnered accolades all over the globe, and its upcoming release of SMITE has become one of the most anticipated titles of the year.”

SIEGE is an interesting amalgation of features leading figures from various regions of the gaming industry, including artists, programmers, designers, investors, writers, teachers and business executives, as everyone unites to share their experiences. It is currently scheduled for October 4th to 7th at the Marriott Atlanta NW.

In the new expansion, titled ‘Siege Expansion Pack’, a downtrodden Drake is drawn back into the world of mercenaries and fortune hunting. He is led to a Himalayan valley, where he engages in a lethal game of cat and mouse with a war criminal.

The gameplay itself is essentially similar to the original Siege DLC, but with 2 new multiplayer maps, 6 new skins, and 11 new trophies.

The Highrise

Towering over the streets of Nepal, The Highrise is a map with plenty of opportunities for players to get the high ground on their opponents. Set on a series of destroyed and under-construction buildings, players need to be on their toes as there are many different jump locations and paths around the map. Players should also watch out for the incoming airstrikes, as they can clear the rooftops in seconds.

The Museum

Set at dusk amongst the courtyards and display cases at the site of Drake and Flynn’s heist, The Museum provides players with a mix of intense gameplay covering traversing across rooftops, dodging gunfire through twisting corridors, and close quarters fighting. Players need to watch their backs as there are numerous flank routes in all parts of this circular map.  Players should also learn the secret climbing routes that will allow them to get the drop on their opponents.
