NO TRICKS, ALL TREATS: LORDS OF THE FALLEN BRINGS HALLOWEEN TO MOURNSTEAD WITH A NEW SEASONAL EVENT & FULL CROSSPLAY FUNCTIONALITY

Sydney, Australia – Thursday, 27th October 2023 – HEXWORKS, a CI Games studio, has kicked off the spooky season with a free, time-limited Halloween event for Lords of the Fallen. Available now and running until 2^nd November, the game’s world of Mournstead has been decorated with seasonal cosmetics. Players can also pursue a new questline to attain the Pumpskin Mask, a horrifying helm inspired by the iconic jack-o’-lantern.

The event coincides with the all-platform release of a significant update – The Pumpkin Patch – that brings a series of new gameplay mechanics developed following ongoing community feedback.

The Pumpkin Patch update includes:

• Revamped New Game Plus (NG+) – A new tiered NG+ system introduces Vestiges to the game mode; each higher level of NG+ removes more Vestiges from the game, increasing player difficulty.
• Full crossplay – Players can now experience full crossplay functionality between all PC and console platforms. This follows the introduction of crossplay between Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation®5 players for the first time earlier this week.
• Reduced enemy density – A reduction of the enemy density in areas observed as being most challenging for players.
• Performance & stability – Further performance and stability fixes across all platforms.

HEXWORKS is also inviting players to submit in-game photos created using Lords of the Fallen’s unique 3D Photo Mode to be considered for display in one of the most prominent and well-known public spaces in the world: Times Square, New York City. The screenshot, which must encapsulate the player’s experience of Lords of the Fallen – whether that’s an epic adventure, a harrowing crusade, or a white-knuckle expedition through the nightmarish realm of the dead – will feature on the NASDAQ® Building for two weeks from 26th November.

VANCOUVER – 27 October, 2023 – Fish Game, a cozy aquarium simulator developed by A Shell in the Pit Games (with audio credits in Untitled Goose Game, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, Rogue Legacy and more), along with Creative Ink and development partner Smarter Every Day,makes a splash on PC via Steam Early Access today.

Dive into the de-fin-itive home aquarium simulator handcrafted by fish enthusiasts for fish enthusiasts, while remaining accessible to all sim fans. Get your feet wet right away with an intuitive tank creation interface to create and populate simple fish tanks, intricate aquascapes, and everything in between.

Sculpt substrate to form sandy peaks and valleys, place an array of plant life, and drop in hardscape materials such as rocks, driftwood, and statues to design dreamlike aquariums. Beyond building, you must also balance and maintain your growing collection of life and the–perhaps-unexpectedly–complex relationships therein.

Fish Game focuses on chill vibes, surprisingly in-depth fish behavior, and curating tanks to taste. All fish, plants, and tank elements exist in an economy-free system that encourages organic creativity. Simply visit a store, grab what you like, and add it to your tank. No cash, no stress.

Name and tame dozens of friendly (and not-so-friendly) fish species with their own personalities and needs, from harmless guppies to preying piranhas. Keep an eye on the hunger, health, and stress levels of sea creatures to create an underwater utopia, tweaking to meet their shifting needs as fish grow. Witness dynamic relationships evolve between fishy friends and foes based on their surroundings and tankmates.

Fish Game was built from the tank up to be the most robust, enjoyable home aquarium game ever made. Adjust the complexity to your comfort level — vibe with “Passive Mode” for a simplified aquatic experience, or get granular by tweaking every aspect of the ecosystem. Nurture a happy biosphere and make sure marine life doesn’t go belly-up by managing multiple forms of maintenance.

Scrub the tank squeaky clean for improved light levels, then hand-trim thriving greenery before plant growth encroaches on swim space. Keep an eye on algae levels, oxygen, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and (further into Early Access) pH balance and temperature, all of which can affect fish and plant health. Running out of room? Create multiple tanks anywhere from 10 to 1000+ gallons, each with its own aesthetic and occupants.

Capture every fin-tastic moment in stills and videos in Photo Mode, and turn TVs into full-sized fish tanks with Big Picture Mode. With a blend of calming music and gill-geous backgrounds, create highly detailed aquariums in a relaxing adventure where the world is your oyster.

“I’ve always wanted to create a game that captures the feeling of fishkeeping that isn’t just a ‘live decoration,’” said creator Gordon McGladdery, “These animals have personalities and hierarchies, interesting behaviours and individualism. They are complex and fascinating systems. You get to know your pets and care about them.”

Fish Game swims onto PC Via Steam Early Access today. Follow A Shell in the Pit Games on Steam, Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok for more updates!

Knights of Borria and Marvelous Europe today revealed the Ultra Mega Demo 2.0 for Leximan is now available to play as part of Steam Scream: The Revenge running October 26 to November 2.

In Leximan, you’re lucky enough to be enrolled in the world’s most exclusive magic school: Academy Elementinia. Unfortunately, this is a world in which magic is a bit embarrassing… Still, you alone have the ability to use Leximancy, a hitherto unimaginable power driven by something as fascinating as it is enchanting: language. Years ago you caused THINGS to happen, and ever since then you’ve been banished to the school basement with the other failures — I mean ‘learners’ – but your life as a humble basement-wizard is abruptly interrupted as Academy Elementinia is attacked by someone with a baffling agenda and a huge set of fireballs. Now it’s time to become the outcast that saves the school. Or if you don’t vibe with heroics, at least cause some more THINGS to happen.

Embark on a brilliant adventure, using words and incompetence to solve bizarre problems and unravel a surprisingly wholesome story about embracing and empowering the real you while you bother a chaotic cast of characters, from potion witches and sweaty musclemancers, to a bombastic policewoman and a pyromancer who’s just fed up, to be honest. There are also hat goblins – give hats to the hat goblins, please and thank you.

Leximan is set to launch on Windows PC via Steam in 2024. This title is not yet rated.
