"Company") (TSX VENTURE: AXV; OTCQX: AXNVF) is pleased to announce

game, "Fighter Royale: Last Ace Flying," ("Fighter Royale") on

Todd Bonner, CEO of Axion,
stated, "Fighter Royale represents the depth of Axion's video game
portfolio as it allows us to capture revenue from a range of titles
across many genres. As a trained pilot, I have played many flight
simulator games and Fighter Royale does a great job at combining an
intuitive flight experience without the need for an in-depth
understanding of flight mechanics, with a fast-paced aerial combat
experience in a theatre filled with other pilots. With our flagship
game, Rising Fire, progressing successfully through open beta on
WeGame with Tencent, it is a
benefit for our Company to capitalise on broader growth
through our entire portfolio."
Key Features
Flight Simulator Combat + Battle Royale Genre
Fighter Royale is unique in that it couples a flight simulator
game with the popular battle royale genre set within a WWII
timeframe. The game pits you against 99 other players in aerial
battles to compete for supremacy in an expansive 50km world filled
with opportunities to upgrade your plane and weapons. As the game
progresses, the air combat space steadily shrinks, forcing players
into closer proximity and resulting in unpredictable and acrobatic
1 on 1 dog fights, with one final pilot emerging as the
champion.
WWII Fighter Planes Battle Over South Pacific Island
Chain
The setting is a South-Pacific themed chain of islands, filled
with volcanoes, narrow canyons, steep cliffs, military
installations, and an armada at sea gunning for you if you decide
to fly too far away from combat. The shrinking combat area also
ensures that players cannot simply avoid conflict, so that the
final victor is rewarded for skills in action engagement.
Advanced Artificial Intelligence
Fighter Royale uses artificial intelligence ("AI") technology to
create non-player characters which intelligently mimic the playing
behavior of human players. The AI-controlled non-player characters
also vary in their behavior to create a balanced play-space.
