Explore your environments, fight monsters, solve puzzles, and uncover the uneasy truth of Derceto Manor…

Deep in the 1920’s south, Emily Hartwood’s uncle has gone missing. Together with private investigator Edward Carnby, she embarks on a journey to Derceto Manor, a home for the mentally ill where something is lurking. You’ll encounter strange residents, nightmarish realms, dangerous monsters, and ultimately uncover the plot of rising evil. At the intersection of reality, mystery, and insanity, an adventure awaits that will change your core beliefs. Who can you trust, what will you believe, and what will you do next?

Alone in the Dark is developed by Pieces Interactive in Sweden and will be coming to PC, Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation®5.

Build a thriving colony, fend off extraterrestrial enemies, and explore the interstellar unknown

COLUMBUS, Ga. — 3 August, 2023 — Farworld Pioneers, the open-world sci-fi sandbox from former Rimworld and Starbound developers at Igloosoft in partnership with publisher tinyBuild, lands on PlayStation 4|5 on Tuesday, 15 August, 2023.

Starting with nothing but a pickaxe, your NPC best friend, and whatever survived the crash landing, build a shelter and survive the first night before confronting longer-term dangers. Create a farm before you run out of canned food, and craft a smelter and a worktable to turn the abundant ores around into useful weaponry and tools. But most importantly, recruit other survivors, assign them jobs, manage their needs, and watch a makeshift shelter grow into a thriving colony.

The world is dangerous, and not just from alien creatures – enemy raiders will come for the rich resources. Fight them off in retro side-scrolling action gameplay with a twist: physics affects everything from character movement to bullet trajectories and how grenades ricochet. Progress down the tech tree, explore further into alien biomes, and delve deeper into the bowels of the planet to unlock the knowledge and means to build miniguns, laser weaponry, and even more destructive tools.

Explorers must conquer the planet to unlock the blueprint for spaceship construction, and finally take their colony to the stars. New biomes on other planets filled with new enemies, new resources, and new adventures await. Do it all alone, or on servers with up to 32 players. Play peacefully, or assign different factions to battle it out in PvP on the harsh alien landscape.

“We want players to play however they want,” said Rho Watson, Founder and Creative Director of Igloosoft. “We’re drawing from our experience working on games like Rimworld, Starbound, and Gnomoria to build the ultimate sandbox experience. And we’re very excited to welcome Playstation players into our community!”Farworld Pioneers launches on PlayStation 4|5 on Tuesday, 15 August, 2023, for USD $14.99. It is already available on PC and Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. It supports English, Portuguese (Brazil), French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese languages.

Time your hits properly and get lost in a bangin’ soundtrack across PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch Aug. 23

Boulder, Colo. (Aug. 3, 2023) – It’s time to take to the stars and correct the mistakes of your peers – the pixel-art JRPG Virgo Versus The Zodiac is bringing its precision-timed combat and gorgeous style to PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch platforms on Aug. 23. Pre-order the game on your platform of choice today for $19.99: https://serenityforge.com/games/virgo-versus-the-zodiac 

Today’s news was accompanied by a gorgeous animated trailer showcasing the journey you’ll take as the Dreadful Queen… no, that’s what the heretics call you… the journey you’ll take as the Holy Queen, Virgo, to right the wrongs across the galaxy. Oh, and the alpacas you’ll ride on throughout:

Virgo’s quest to restore the cosmos is a righteous one. The Holy Queen is going to bring back the Golden Age of the Zodiac Realms, a period of peace and balance. Some might call her quest unforgiving, and even twisted, but those heretics don’t know what they’re talking about. Virgo’s worldview is correct, and anyone who stands in her way to stop her is a villain. She is definitely the hero of this story.

Virgo Versus The Zodiac utilizes precision timing combat elements to add an additional layer of skill to its turn-based gameplay. Learn your enemies, counter their attacks and time your holy strikes correctly to smash through their defenses. Virgo Versus The Zodiac forgoes random encounters, instead opting for bespoke, unforgiving battles designed specifically for your quest. This journey through the Zodiac Realms will take you to an array of diverse locations full of people and items to interact with, including the other Zodiacs themselves. Explore well, though, as depending on your interactions, the fate of the cosmos could change drastically. Oh, there’s also a shoot ’em up mode if you’re in the mood. Just in case.
