Madrid October 13, 2023. Kittengumi: The Sakabato’s Thief is a visual novel that takes us to an alternate Japan (Nyppon) where the protagonists, a cat and a panda who believes he is a cat, will have to find the thief of the sakabato, one of the treasures of the Kittengumi – a group of samurai cats that protects the safety of Nyedo (Edo), to which they belong.

This will be the characters’ first official mission and during this adventure, they will interact with many characters and, depending on the decisions, the story will unfold in different ways, not all of them with a happy ending.

Kittengumi: The Sakabato’s Thief is the first in a collection of visual novels that tell different stories starring the members of this group, That its available now on Playstation Store, Steam and Nintendo Switch in several languages and with ten endings to surprise you.

It is a day like any other in the city of Nyedo, in faraway Nyppon. But at the headquarters of the Kittengumi, a group of samurai who watch over security and justice, a great commotion has arisen. The emblematic Sakabato sword has been stolen. This is a huge disgrace for the samurai clan, who will not hesitate to take to the streets to recover their treasure. Together, the young Ryuudama, the panda bear with feline aspirations Kumaneko, the ninja Azuki and other warriors will have to overcome a thousand challenges to discover the thief.

On the other hand, if we tell you that Kittengumi is a visual novel, it is because there is one thing that has been developed with great care. Indeed: The visual aspect. All the characters and scenes in Kittengumi have been drawn by hand, with the care and delicacy of a kanji calligrapher. In addition, the soundtrack, composed for traditional Japanese instruments, adds a unique atmosphere.

It should be noted, for those who are fans of Japanese culture, that Kittengumi is inspired by the Shinsengumi, a historic special police force of the last shogunate of Japan. This fierce team of samurai has been given the appearance of anthropomorphic cats (or pandas who think they are cats), in the purest manga style, and with winks that will please the most fanatical otaku.

They are relentless, they are brave, they are tough. And, above all, they are cute. Kittengumi: The Sakabato Thief is the starting point of a saga that promises to be memorable.

Featured content:

• Decide how the story progresses and discover the 10 different endings: Your decisions matter and will determine the path that Ryuudama and Kumaneko choose. Will you catch the thief? Will they get out unharmed? Will you meet all the characters?
• All hand-drawn: Our artist has drawn every character, every setting, and every part of the game with great effort, love, and care.
• Story with lore beyond the main game: This game is the premiere of a saga that will bring many adventures. The game is full of characters, references, and lore beyond the main story.
• Follow the story from any unlocked scene: You can pick up the story from the scene selector and try all the variants without having to start from scratch each time.
• Soundtrack with Japanese instruments: The soundtrack is carefully created with period instruments that will accompany you throughout the adventure.

Now available on Steam, Playstation Store and Nintendo eShop

Friday, 13th October 2023 – HEXWORKS, a CI Games studio, has today unleashed the highly-anticipated, dark fantasy action-RPG, Lords of the Fallen, on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox® Series X|S. Harnessing the cutting edge power of Unreal Engine 5 – the first action-RPG to do so – Lords of the Fallen delivers a visceral and immersive adventure, featuring a unique dual-realm mechanic that allows players to seamlessly transition from Axiom, the brutal and unforgiving world of the living, to Umbral, the nightmarish world of the dead. Would-be heroes must journey through these vast and interconnected lands of Mournstead in the holiest of quests to defeat a demon god. 

Cast in the role of a Dark Crusader, one of the devout and ferocious champions of the Church of Orius, players will find themselves facing demonic hordes and catastrophic bosses across both planes of reality. To aid such endeavours, they must harness the ungodly powers of the Umbral Lamp; an object that imbues its bearers with the ability to transcend realms, flay the very souls of enemies, and even manipulate the environment, itself. The lamp also provides its bearer a second chance to overcome defeat; die in the land of the living, and players will rise again in Umbral… where the longer your stay, the more dangerous it becomes.

“We are thrilled that Lords of the Fallen is finally launching,” said Saul Gascon, Head of Studio at HEXWORKS. “The journey of all lampbearers and their epic quest to overcome the demon god Adyr begins! This is the culmination of almost four years of passion, hard work, and determination, as every single individual at HEXWORKS and CI Games has come together from all corners of the globe to deliver a truly boundary-pushing addition to the action-RPG genre. We couldn’t be more delighted for all of you to dive into our immersive universe. In light, we walk!”

Lords of the Fallen key features

• Explore a vast interconnected world: Use the Umbral Lamp to cross between the worlds of the living and dead, reach forgotten places, unearth fabled treasures, and even manipulate the very soul of your foe.
• Challenging fluid tactical combat: Master melee and ranged weapons, and wield powerful magics against Adyr’s demonic hordes.
• Define your own legend: Choose from nine starting character classes and fully customise your warrior for the herculean journey ahead.
• Rise from death: Fall in the world of the living and rise again in the world of the dead. The lamp allows for a second and final chance to return to life, as the nightmarish forces of Umbral descend upon you.
• Unite or fight in online multiplayer: Seamless two-player co-op multiplayer enables players to take on Adyr’s forces together; but beware of heroes invading from other realms.

This week has also seen the release of the Lords of the Fallen official soundtrack, in partnership with Laced Records. Available on music streaming platforms now, the launch of the 36-track album precedes the upcoming pre-order and release of a limited-edition triple LP set. The soundtrack, written by award-winning composers Cris Velasco (Bloodborne, Resident Evill VII: Biohazard) and Knut Avenstroup Haugen (Lords of the Fallen 2014, Conon Exiles) was recorded with the 80-piece Budapest Scoring Orchestra and Choir, together with soprano Eurielle, contralto Jess Dandy, and principal cellist of the London Symphony Orchestra, David Cohen.

Hunt Ghosts with the New Albany Brigham – Earn a Special Livery, Get 2X Rewards in Grisly New Halloween Deathmatches, and More

With darkness taking hold and supernatural sightings rising, a vintage transport also storms forth into GTA Online this week. The Albany Brigham (Muscle) blends classic style with a seasonally appropriate vibe.

The Albany Brigham is now available to purchase from Southern San Andreas Super Autos, and on display at The Vinewood Car Club where it is free to claim for GTA+ Members through November 8.

The Hunt is On
Local paranormal investigators, Ghosts Exposed, need your help uncovering evidence of apparitions haunting the citizens of Southern San Andreas. Seek out these spirits, snap photos of them with your iFruit’s camera, and send your grainy photographic proof to the team for GTA$ and RP.

Don’t get too close — the spooky may become spooked themselves and disappear into the night.

Get the Ghosts Exposed Livery

After successfully photographing the final lost soul, determined hunters will receive the Ghosts Exposed livery for the new Albany Brigham.

New Halloween Deathmatches

Compete in a trio of new Halloween Deathmatches that tap into the season’s morbid and macabre atmosphere and are all paying out 2X GTA$ and RP during their inaugural week, stacking up to a juicy 4X multiplier for GTA+ Members.

Drop Dead: The dead are rising, and they’re only after one thing — the living. In this Team Deathmatch, the living fight for survival against the dead. To win, all they must do is outlast the attack. If they die, they join the dead to continue the hunt until there’s no soul left alive. The dead have no blips, move swiftly, can climb and regenerate their health faster, so keep your wits about you.

Suck It Up: Go head-to-head in this gruesome Deathmatch where dealing damage keeps you on your feet. That’s right, drain the life from your enemies and add it to your own. Just like your toxic ex used to do. Lives are limited and your own health drains over time, so you better pick your victim fast.

Damned and Lost: Welcome to the Free-for-All Deathmatch of your nightmares. A maze full of opponents with no blips while they’re on the move. Face your fears around every corner until you’re the last one standing.

Beware of Possessed Animals

Troubling news reports indicate a spike in sightings of possessed creatures attacking innocent bystanders. Weazel News and local administrators are warning residents to approach these entities with extreme caution, as they’re known to morph into more menacing forms when approached or provoked.

Halloween Freemode Events

Don’t let your guard down for a split-second, as the spine-chilling incidents spill out into Freemode this week and beyond. Wide-eyed strangers are ranting and rambling about UFOs in the sky, while Business Battles require stealing spaceship parts out from under the FIB’s nose at Fort Zancudo. There are also apparently phantom cars trailing their every move and, in the case of one aggressive Cerberus, ramming them off the road by force.

Halloween Masks

Don frightful disguises to maximize the fear factor this week: collect the Green Vintage Witch Mask by simply playing GTA Online anytime this week, complete a Bunker Sell Mission to get your claws on the Orange Vintage Werewolf Mask, and complete a Bunker Steal Supplies Mission to receive the Light Green Vintage Vampire Mask.

Double Rewards on Bunker Sell Missions

Once you’ve successfully gathered supplies and converted them into stock, offload them in Bunker Sell Missions to earn 2X GTA$ and RP through October 18.

Haven’t taken your operations underground yet? You’re missing out — luckily Bunkers, plus their Upgrades and Modifications, are all 30% off this week.

New Halloween Props

Become a master of puppets with new features added to the GTA Online Job Creator, including a new Halloween weather option and several sinister new props like pumpkins and Jack-o’-lanterns — to build out your horror set.

Bonuses on Halloween Modes

Get into the grisly spirit of the season by jumping into the action in Halloween-themed modes, including Triple Rewards on Slasher and 2X GTA$ and RP on Judgement Day (which means 4X for GTA+ Members), and the Halloween Bunker Series.
