Superhero Action Game UNDEFEATED: Genesis Saves the Day on PC, Console with Help of Chorus Worldwide

Publisher of Coffee Talk, A Space for the Unbound helps bring sequel to hit student project with more than 1.8m downloads to the masses

OSAKA, Japan – Aug. 31, 2023 – UNDEFEATED: Genesis, the superhero action game formerly known as UNRESTRICTED from developer Indie-us Games, reveals its true identity and unveils a powerful ally today at The MIX Next. Chorus Worldwide, the publisher of the Coffee Talk series and A Space for the Unbound, will publish the game on PC with a console version in development for a 2026 release. 

Attendees at this year’s Tokyo Game Show (Sept. 21-24) can go hands-on and get a taste of this unmatched power fantasy at the Indie Game Area in Hall 9, booth AT.

UNDEFEATED: Genesis serves as the followup and origin story to UNDEFEATED, a 2019 superhero game developed by three students, and downloaded by more than 1.8 million champions of justice. Now going professional at Indie-us Games, Genesis will serve as the first title in a trilogy of Unreal Engine 5 games paying homage to superheroes while telling an expansive story.

Go from everyday college student to a heroic force for good when a meteor strike transports you to another planet where gargantuan mutants wreak havoc. Awaken on this strange new world with incredible abilities far beyond humanity’s potential. Vow to wield these powers for good and unravel the myriad mysteries of these new surroundings. Why were you transported here? How did this once-thriving civilization collapse 500 years ago? How will you get home?

Fly around a vast world under the canopy of collapsed skyscrapers and overgrown cityscapes decorated by magical, floating debris. Defeat colossal aliens hell-bent on destruction. Grow ever stronger with genes obtained from fallen foes to attain powers like laser beams, freezing blasts, and massive shocks to forge a mighty, customizable hero. 

“As we talked to Indie-us Games and they offered us the opportunity to publish UNDEFEATED: Genesis, we felt like we had unlocked superpowers ourselves,” said Shintaro Kanaoya, founder and CEO of Chorus Worldwide. “This game might not be like other Chorus titles you’ve played, but it’s part of our commitment to bring great games with original visions to the world, no matter the genre.”

“The reception to the original UNDEFEATED blew us away and affirmed our aspirations of making the superhero games of our dreams,” said Yuma Shinohara, Game Director at Indie-us Games. “While we have a long road ahead, we’re honored to work alongside Chorus Worldwide. We hope to see you at the Tokyo Game Show!”

UNDEFEATED: Genesis will be available on PC with a console version also in development for a 2026 release. To learn more about UNDEFEATED: Genesis, wishlist the game on Steam, visit the official site, and follow Indie-us Games and Chorus Worldwide on Twitter.

Overcome language barriers, make consequential choices and forge enduring relationships in this gut-wrenching RPG

Boulder, Colo. (Aug. 31, 2023) – Serenity Forge and This I Dreamt today announced that Long Gone Days, the gripping narrative-driven RPG set in a war-torn version of our world, is headed for release on Oct. 10 across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch for $24.99. Today’s news was unveiled alongside a new trailer showcasing the game’s gorgeous pixel art and the first-person combat system players will encounter as they step into the shoes of Rourke, whose entire worldview is shattered when he enters a war he has trained for his entire life:

Rourke’s life was always predetermined. As a child of The Core, he was chosen from birth to be a sniper. Just like that, training for this role became his world. But on his first mission, he realizes that the war he’s been training for his entire life isn’t what it seems, and everything changes. Rourke never anticipated being called a deserter, but there has to be a way to stop this war and end the bloodshed: https://serenityforge.com/games/long-gone-days

In Long Gone Days, embark on a journey where you will grapple with numerous real-world complexities, including an intricate web of language barriers. Every encounter becomes a pivotal moment, as the ripples of your choices extend to shape the fates of those around you. Can you rise above these formidable barriers, forging connections that transcend linguistic confines, or will the unforgiving grasp of warfare shatter the fragile bonds you endeavor to build? The answers lie in your hands, as you navigate a narrative that delves deep into the essence of shared humanity.

Unfortunately, peace is elusive in Long Gone Days, and Rourke’s expertise as a sniper frequently comes into play. Spot and take down targets from afar or engage up-close in strategic, turn-based combat where specific parts of an enemy’s body can be targeted. Rourke’s shots will change the world and plot of Long Gone Days. 

Explore diverse cities, meet grounded, realistic characters and make choices that will change lives when Long Gone Days launches on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch on Oct. 10.

A.K.I. becomes the 20^th playable character following Rashid’s release in July.

The “A.K.I. Arrives!” Fighting Pass also goes live for a limited time starting at 08:00 BST/09:00 CEST on September 1 so players can gear up for their favorite new character with A.K.I.-themed items and cosmetics.

To watch the A.K.I. gameplay trailer, please visit YouTube, and for the latest assets and information on Street Fighter 6, visit the official Street Fighter 6 website.

Speaking of deadly moves, check some of them out below…if you dare:

• Serpent Lash: From a distance, A.K.I. sends her nails flying forward like a chain, poisoning enemies she hits. When she strikes an opponent who is already poisoned, a Toxic Blossom will trigger an explosion and open enemies up to follow-up attacks.
• Nightshade Pulse: A.K.I. sends a bubble forward that also poisons enemies it hits. She can strike the bubble with Nightshade Chaser to pop it in advance, increasing its area of effect.
• Orchid Spring: A.K.I. places a puddle of poison in front of her which will affect opponents who step inside it.
• Sinister Slide: Slither across the screen to avoid threats while stalking forward and perform follow-up moves like Venomous Fang, Heel Strike, or Entrapment.
• Claws of Ya Zi: A.K.I.’s Level 3 Super Art pierces various pressure points on an opponent’s body and injects a poison that dangerously detonates from within.

A.K.I. and her elegant Outfit 2 will be available for owners of the Year 1 Character Pass, Deluxe Edition, or Ultimate Edition on Sept. 27. Get a taste of her poison for an hour with a Rental Fighter ticket, which can be obtained via the Fighting Pass.
