The captivating RPG adventure is now available on Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus to subscribers

QUEBEC CITY (Aug. 29, 2023) – Developer Sabotage Studio’s followup title to the best debut title of 2018, platformer The Messenger, the retro-RPG Sea of Stars launches today on PC and consoles for $34.99. The turn-based RPG debuts to astonishing praise from game critics around the world as it becomes available today for free on Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1244090/Sea_of_Stars/). 

An ambitious undertaking that harkens to RPG classics, the story unfolds with two Children of the Solstice at its center, youths Valere and Zale, as they face their fated duty to become Solstice Warriors. They wield the lone force capable of defeating the monstrous creations of an evil alchemist known as The Fleshmancer. The pair’s grand journey follows their mastery of Sun and Moon powers, referred to as Eclipse Magic, as they learn to combine their strengths to master powerful spells and abilities across a visually stunning backdrop full of peril and wonder to explore. 

Fans eagerly anticipating the launch of the game were delighted to meet a new character revealed in last week’s launch trailer: Seraï, a deadly assassin with the ability to carve portals with her razor-sharp daggers and surprise enemies when they least expect it. And of course, there is the good old Garl, the lovable warrior cook with a heart as big as his smile. Each of these dynamic characters plays an intricate role in the lives of Valere and Zale on their journey as fate unfolds in this mystical, magical world…

Sea of Stars has received a wildly positive reception from game critics around the world, having already earned more than 20 perfect review scores and a 90 aggregated score on Metacritic. Praised as a masterful modernization of the golden era of classic RPGs with distinct combat mechanics, an engrossing world prime for exploration, and a story full of heart led by a memorable cast, Sea of Stars has been hailed as a spectacular reimagining and elevation of the turn-based RPG genre’s greatest strengths.

Sea of Stars is the second game from Canadian studio Sabotage and takes place in the same universe long before the events of The Messenger, the award-winning studio debut. Today’s launch culminates four years of development for Sabotage, which grew substantially after the success of The Messenger in order to produce Sea of Stars, a more ambitious project in scope and scale. During its successful Kickstarter reveal in the early Spring of 2020, the studio announced that legendary composer Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger) would join composer Eric W. Brown on Sea of Stars to produce a rousing original soundtrack. Today, fans can finally immerse themselves in the epic tale of the Children of the Solstice. iam8bit will be releasing exclusive Sea of Stars physical editions on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2024. 

Sea of Stars features:

• Active Turn-Based Combat: Pressing the action button in sync with battle animations strengthens a hero’s attacks and reduces incoming damage during defense. Along with interactive timed attacks, combat features boosting and a strategic “locks” system, providing options for leveraging different damage types in order to hinder enemies while they are preparing powerful attacks or spells, all in an immersive take on the RPG genre; no random encounters, transitions to separate battlefields, or grinding.

• Unshackled Traversal: Swim, climb, vault, jump off or scale ledges while seamlessly traversing through the world with a navigation system based on platformer expertise that breaks free from classic, bound-to-the-ground tileset movement.

• A Story Rich Adventure: Meet dozens of original characters and progress memorable narrative arcs throughout a captivating journey. Sometimes epic, sometimes silly, and other times emotional, Sea of Stars explores classic themes of adventure and friendship with heart, while also being chock-full of the unexpected twists and events you’d expect from a Sabotage Studio production.

• All Fun, No Tedium: Enjoy experimenting in combat without fear of hitting a wall requiring grinding or farming for unique items; in Sea of Stars, defeat calls for a change in battle plans, not hours of repetition to better the odds in a rematch.

• A World You Can Touch: There are many ways to hang out in the world of Sea of Stars if you feel inclined to change the pace during your adventures. Sailing, cooking, fishing, stopping by a tavern to listen to a song, or playing the beloved tabletop game known as “Wheels” … every system has been designed to deliver a journey that pays tribute to retro classics, while rethinking conventional elements to offer a smooth and refreshingly modernized experience.

• Radiant Lighting: Dynamic lighting effects pair with a world-influencing day/night cycle to make every area feel truly alive, pushing the traditional visual limits of classically stylized 2D pixel art games – the only way to properly tell the story of heroes conjuring the powers of the Sun and the Moon.

Special TGS livestream to be shown on 21^st September 2023 with additional gameplay details!

Hertfordshire, 29^th August 2023 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force, alongside collaborators TYPE-MOON and Aniplex Inc., revealed a new trailer for the upcoming action RPG, Fate/Samurai Remnant. In this intense trailer, players are introduced to life in the streets of Edo, getting a glimpse into the deeper aspects of the storyline accompanied by the game’s main theme, “Zanya Gensou feat. LICCA / Spiral Ladder”. Fate/Samurai Remnant is currently in development for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, and PC Windows via Steam®, and will be available on 29^th September 2023.

Explore the streets of Edo in Fate/Samurai Remnant – Third trailer on YouTube

Throughout the Fate franchise, pairs of Masters and heroic spirits – also known as Servants – have been fighting across history in a series of Holy Grail Wars, with the winning duo receiving an ancient artifact that grants wishes. Fate/Samurai Remnant continues the series’ epic Holy Grail War in Edo Period Japan as players control young samurai Miyamoto Iori alongside his Servant Saber. Here, a battle between seven pairs of Masters and Servants is about to begin as the “Waxing Moon Ritual” unfolds in the shadows.

Playing as Iori, players will explore the town of Edo and experience a variety of activities, such as wandering the streets in the company of various Servants, shopping at the mysterious store “Babyloni-ya”, or visiting famous places scattered throughout Edo. Accompanied by Saber, who is particularly keen to discover life in Edo, Iori will be able to complete a variety of side quests to earn money and much-needed materials. He will also be called upon to arbitrate fights.

As Edo is divided into several districts, players can move from one to another using the world map, which will show them where to go to progress through the story of the Waxing Moon Ritual. Saber will also mark places of interest on the map. Some Rogue Servants may suggest sub-quests called “Digressions”. As they progress through the different Digressions, players will bond with Rogue Servants who will accompany Iori.

By taking part in the Ritual, Iori will have to prepare himself to face powerful opponents in fearsome battles with the help of Saber and other Rogue Servants. To maximize their chances, players can upgrade not only Iori’s skill tree, but also those of Saber and other Rogue Servants, unlocking various skills and abilities that they can equip. In addition to his skill tree, Iori can use materials with his sword mountings to strengthen its abilities and replace the skills attached to it. Players will also be able to fill in Saber’s “Memento Ring” as they strengthen the bond between Servant and Master by exploring the town of Edo and progressing through the story. Once they reach a certain level on the “Memento Ring”, players can increase their chances of using Link Strikes in battle or unlock new skills in Saber’s tree.

In Fate/Samurai Remnant combat, players have three different gauges to watch out for if they want to triumph over even the most formidable opponents: the “Affinity Gauge”, the “Substitution Gauge”, and the “Hidden Sword Gauge”. The first gauge is required to use the powerful “Affinity Technique” action and order their Servant to perform a specific attack. This gauge fills up during combat in response to Iori’s attacks, but can also fill up during exploration when players carry out various activities such as interacting with Saber’s points of interest. By consuming the second gauge, the “Substitution Gauge”, players can temporarily and directly control the Servant accompanying Iori. Finally, the last gauge tells players when they can unleash Iori’s special technique, which changes according to the number of swords used in combat.

During Tokyo Game Show 2023, a special livestream* will be held on 21^st September 2023 from 14:00 BST (22:00 JST). Broadcast on KOEI TECMO Japan’s official YouTube channel, this special livestream will not only provide more information about the game, but will also showcase gameplay using characters that have never been played before. Special guests include Kengo Kawanishi (Iori Miyamoto), Hibiku Yamamura (Saber), and Tomoaki Maeno (Zheng Chenggong).

Fate/Samurai Remnant is now available for pre-order in both Standard and Digital Deluxe editions. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the base game, a digital artbook and soundtrack, the Fate/Samurai Remnant Season Pass that includes three DLC sets**, and the Season Pass Bonus item “Hallowed Relic Sword Mountings”.

All players who digitally pre-order the Standard or Deluxe Edition by 28^th September 2023 will receive the “Phantasmal Dress ‘Miyamoto Musashi’” digital pre-order bonus.

Additionally, a special TREASURE BOX version of Fate/Samurai Remnant is available for pre-orders exclusively through the KOEI TECMO Europe Online Store. The TREASURE BOX includes the stunning Fate/Samurai Remnant material (art book), a B2 sized cloth poster, original soundtrack CD, Command Spell stickers, bonus costume DLC (set of two costumes), the Official Short Story Translation book, and a collectible box.

* An English interpretation stream will be available on the official Tokyo Game Show channels. ** These DLC items are scheduled to be available after the release of the main game.

Unto the breach, with a fire-breathing potion, or unto the beach, with something long, bubbly and well-chilled?

Sydney, Australia – 29^th August 2023: Sidle on up to the bar and prepare to knock back some spicy potions, because it’s time for the 6^th installment in the ENDLESS™ Dungeon Hero Reveal series! 

ENDLESS Dungeon is a squad-based, tactical action rogue-lite with a twist of tower defense and it’s releasing on PC and Consoles on the 19^th of October. You’ll be assembling a squad of heroes and making your way through a dark and menacing abandoned space station, dying-and-retrying along the way.

Which is where Fassie comes in, the station’s resident mixologist, and a great tech and crowd control hero to have on your team. Let’s take a closer look!

Watch the new reveal trailer online below

A DRAKKEN WITH A PASSION FOR FASHION(-ING) DRINKS

Fassonandu (or Fassie for short) is a Drakken, a species once native to the planet Auriga. The Endless found them fascinating enough to distribute their DNA for manipulation across dozens of labs in dozens of systems, and as a result there are little pockets of Drakken all over the place.

Most, like Fassie’s family, are happy to manage the peace and prosperity of their little corner of the cosmos. Fassie, however, dreams of bigger–and older–things.

That drive had him crossing the galaxy in search of components for potions and elixirs; these days, refined but ambitious, he seeks the specs of legendary mixologists, and a legendary beverage.

SKILLS

Fassie is both support and attack — With his skillset, he can bring out the best of his teammates while dealing considerable damage to the enemy.

• Stay Classy (Passive Skill) – Wit is increased for each monster in the same room (up to a cap)
• Shot! (Special Skill) – Throws a drink at a targeted hero whose Fire rate and Attack Damage are increased depending on the number of monsters in the room (up to a cap)
• Bar Fight (Ultimate Skill) – Nearby monsters fight each other while efficiency of nearby Heroes increases

So, will you be choosing Fassie to be a part of your squad?

PRE-ORDERS AVAILABLE NOW, CLOSED BETA STARTS ON THE 7^TH OF SEPTEMBER

ENDLESS Dungeon is available for pre-order on PC and consoles by visiting our store. The game will be released on the 19^th of October.
