New Vibrant Map, New Grotesque Ghost Type, New Cosmetics, and More.

WHAT: Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, a 4v1 hunt or haunt action-packed video game from the asymmetrical multiplayer experts at IllFonic, is set to release the game’s third DLC on August 1, 2023. This FREE DLC accompanies a previous base game purchase, which is rated E10+ and available on PC/Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One for $19.99. You read that correctly, starting August 1, 2023, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed digital versions will drop to the scary good price of $19.99.

DLC #3 is loaded with exciting content. The new map will be beloved by live music fans and clubgoers alike. The map contains a delightful blend of open areas, minor verticality, and connecting hallways. Who knows what’s lurking behind each turn… could it be our new Ghost type – the Watcher, a grotesque and elusive little creature. Look closely and Ghostbusters fans might just recognize the “Bug-Eyed” ghosts that are well known from the franchise. Not to mention, there are cool new threads and some great quality of life updates. See below for the details. 

DLC Highlights:

– New Map – The New Motion Club – The New Motion Club is a pillar of the New York underground music scene. From Baxter Hills to Trance Ratton, countless now well-known alternative acts have gotten their start here. After a change in ownership, the venue was expanded to include a two-thousand square foot street level dance hall with the original basement stage reimagined as a comedy club. More space led to bigger bands, with many considering the New Motion Club to be a necessary stop on an artist’s path to stardom. What new ownership didn’t account for though, was a recent spike in paranormal activity. Are these ghostly parasites drawn to the energy of such a vibrant place, or are they just fans of “the scene” like everyone else? Either way, it’s bad for business, but good for busting.

– New Ghost Type – Watcher – Our studies have unequivocally concluded that this ghost type is a particularly grotesque and elusive little creature. It’s safe to assume that before you ever notice a Watcher, it’s certainly already noticed you, courtesy of its giant external eye attached via a disgusting semi-corporeal tendon. A Watcher is known for sending its occult oculus hurtling toward intended scare targets and then either recoiling it back to its socket OR pulling its torso to the eye itself, phasing through anything that stands between them. So yes, it’s a quite hideous sight all around.

– New Buster Cosmetics – Including Ghostbusters (2016) film Cosmetics and Gear Shells! 

– Numerous Quality of Life updates to improve player’s gameplay experiences.

July 31, 2023 (Pittsburgh, PA) Mega Cat Studios, in partnership with Sasha Darko, is thrilled to announce the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for Sacred Line II, an innovative graphic adventure novel game for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis platform.

Set as both a sequel and a prequel to the captivating Sacred Line Genesis, this game offers an extraordinary blend of mystery, exploration, and text-based dice combat in a larger-than-life narrative environment that is approximately 2-3 times the size of its predecessor.

Sacred Line II chronicles the harrowing journey of Sarah, a young girl with a troubled past who, after a fatal encounter with a religious cult, is mysteriously brought back from the brink of death. Set against the backdrop of an alternate 1999 where Yugoslavia still exists, players will help Sarah navigate her surreal world to prevent its imminent downfall.

In Sacred Line II, players can anticipate high-quality 3D graphics optimized for CRT TV, a feature that sets a new standard for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis platform. The immersive all-digital audio soundtrack heightens the gameplay experience, and the unique setting, engrossing story, and varied environments will captivate players from beginning to end.

Sacred Line II stands out with its innovative text-based dice fighting system, which is a new addition to the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis platform. With multiple possible endings and a convenient checkpoint system to ensure that death is never the end, this game offers immense replayability. For those who wish to delve deeper into the narrative, an in-game encyclopedia is available to provide insights into the characters and their intriguing world.

“Sacred Line II is a unique post-apocalyptic adventure that will transport you into an alternate-reality world ruled by demons that were summoned by an ancient cult.” said developer Sasha Darko.”It’s more than a horror game, it incorporates a complex story that also explores mature themes, such as human trafficking and proxy wars. It’s very different from everything else on the system, and I hope you’ll like it.”

Mega Cat Studios and Sasha Darko are proud to bring this unique title to Kickstarter, where they hope to connect with an engaged community of backers who are as excited about the potential of Sacred Line II as they are. With a selection of enticing rewards and stretch goals, they are looking forward to offering players an adventure that’s well worth the wait.

Coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later this year

DALLAS — 31 July 2023 — Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, the definitive release of the cult classic FPS by original developer and publisher Apogee Entertainment, the maniacal minds at New Blood Interactive, and the gaming treasure hunters at Nightdive Studios, launches on Steam for PC and GOG today. Ludicrous Edition will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and both Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility later this year.

Thanks to Nightdive Studios’ proprietary KEX engine, players can hop into a time machine and experience the genre-defining ‘90s masterpiece that started an FPS revolution, built straight from the original source code.

“Rise of the Triad was ahead of its time. It was a trailblazer and a game of many firsts – the first dually wielded pistols, first capture the flag mode, and first shooter where you could look up and down!” says said Scott Miller, founder of Apogee Entertainment and original project manager of Rise of the Triad circa 1995. “It’s been an honor to revitalize a game I worked on nearly 30 years ago, and it would not have been possible without our friends at New Blood and Nightdive Studios. We can’t wait to bring it to consoles later this year.”  

When Cultists target Los Angeles for destruction, only the High-Risk United Nations Task-Force (codenamed H.U.N.T.) can end their reign of terror. Gear up and load out as one of five elite operatives, each with their own attributes, and infiltrate the cult monastery to stop their nefarious plans. Dive deep into ROTT lore with 5 full campaign modes and expansion packs, new cutscenes, and explore never-before-seen content from previously-lost beta builds. 

Run and gun through labyrinthine levels and splatter LUDICROUS GIBS across the island with over-the-top weapons. Double the fun with the gaming world’s first-ever dual-wield pistol setup, or blast the iconic Drunk Missile and watch rockets trail off with a mind of their own. Mix things up with magical weapons like the legendary Excalibat, and delete foes in the blinkof an eye with the Hand of God. 

Crank up the intensity with 11-player online multiplayer “COMM-BAT” featuring 10 unique maps. Team up and fight for power in the innovative Capture the Triad mode – the first-ever “capture the flag” mode in video game history. Or take it old school and jump into classic Normal and Team normal game modes. 

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is available now on Steam and GOG for $19.99 USD and releases on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One along with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility later this year. Language interface options include English, French, Italian, German and Spanish (Spain).

To Celebrate the Launch of Pre-orders, KOEI TECMO Unleashes their Second Electrifying Trailer

BURLINGAME, Calif. – July 31, 2023 – Today, KOEI TECMO America and developer Omega Force, alongside collaborators TYPE-MOON and Aniplex Inc., unveiled the second heart-racing trailer to their upcoming action RPG, Fate/Samurai Remnant. The trailer reveals the identity and motivations of the new Servants who will be joining the fight in the latest Holy Grail War. Fate/Samurai Remnant is currently in development for Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and Windows PC via Steam®, and will be available in North America Sept. 29, 2023.

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.

Adding to the chaos of the Waxing Moon Ritual will be the inclusion of Servants “Archer” and “Assassin” from other participating teams in battle. A Servant of the Archer class, Archer is loyal, courageous, and fierce. He shows respect to his Master, Zheng Chenggong, and freely maneuvers his bow and arrow throughout combat. Also seen throughout the new trailer is Assassin. A Servant of the Assassin class, he is a phantom in gray with long arms and legs that flex like whips. Assassin is said to be able to summon and manipulate serpents as his subordinates!

Fate/Samurai Remnant will also feature a number of Rogue Servants throughout the game. These highly powerful warriors do not have Masters, and if you are able to form a bond with them, you will not only be able to temporarily borrow their powers, but some of them can even accompany you in battle! And while a few of these Rogue Servants have made appearances in past Fate series titles, like Rogue Lancer, Fate/Samurai Remnant alsointroduces all new Rogue Servants to the Fate universe, like Rogue Rider!

Rogue Servants include:

• Rogue Lancer (true name Cú Chulainn): Wields a crimson spear longer than he is, as if it were a part of himself. He has a belligerent personality and seeks out challenging battles.
• Rogue Archer (true name Arjuna): A fighter clad in a white robe who wields a bow covered with blue flames. He is pure, always respectful, and behaves in a fair and honest manner.
• Rogue Rider (true name Tamamo Aria): Captivates men with her dainty appearance and somewhat frivolous speech and behavior. Instead of riding on something, riding on someone seems to be her preferred form of transportation.
• Rogue Saber: An armored warrior who rides a gray horse and wields a large sword. He is in pursuit of an enemy called the Evil Ogre, whom he seeks to destroy.
• Rogue Berserker: A long-haired fighter who boasts a muscular body. Being summoned as a Berserker, he has lost all sense of rationality. For whatever reason, he accompanies Takao Dayu.

In addition, Fate/Samurai Remnant introduces the “Spirit Font Conflict”, an all-new gameplay element that features a competition between enemies for “spirit fonts” scattered throughout Edo. The players aim to acquire the spiritual fonts — that are ultimately the enemy’s strongholds — by making a mutually determined number of movements on a gridded map. When a spiritual font is acquired, a path passes through the ley line that connects it to one’s own base, temporarily boosting Iori’s abilities. Rogue Servants with a bond will be able to be moved as a separate unit to cooperate in the acquisition of spirit fonts. There are also Rogue Servants who will lend their assistance only in the “Spirit Font Conflict”.

Further helping boost Iori’s abilities will be his magecraft workshop located in town. This is where Iori can learn new skills that will be useful as he fights his way through the Waxing Moon Ritual. By strengthening the workshop, you can acquire skills such as the ability to have Rogue Servants accompany you in battle. There is even a sword maintenance minigame to be played in the workshop, with samurai who take care of their swords accordingly being rewarded with bonus effects in battle!

Fate/Samurai Remnant will be available in both Standard and Digital Deluxe editions, with both versions now available for pre-order. The Digital Deluxe Edition features the base game, a digital artbook and soundtrack, the Fate/Samurai Remnant Season Pass that includes three DLC sets, and the Season Pass Bonus: Hallowed Relic Sword Mountings.

Fans who pre-order the game digitally or at select retail stores by Sept. 28, 2023 will also receive Miyamoto Musashi’s special costume, “Phantasmal Dress”. 

Additionally, a special TREASURE BOX version of Fate/Samurai Remnant is currently available for pre-order. Sold exclusively through the NISA 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.
