One HELL-A of a good deal…

Feb 23, 2024: Dead Island 2 is now out on Xbox Game Pass!

Developed by Dambuster Studios – and published by PLAION on the Deep Silver label – this visceral action RPG will see you battling zombies in a hellish rendition of Los Angeles (or HELL-A, as we like to call it).

The city’s in quarantine – thanks to a deadly virus – and it’s down to the somehow immune slayers to embark on an epic pulp journey across a plethora of well-known locations such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach and Santa Monica to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and who or what they are turned into, meeting a crazy cast of characters in the process.

Prepare to slay a multitude of distinct zombie types, each with their own mutations, attacks and LA-themed variations.

Thanks to Dambuster’s F.L.E.S.H. (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids) system – which makes dismemberment gloriously gory – killing zombies has never been so spectacular.

And armed with a wide range of weapons, mods and skills to craft and equip, players can personalise their characters in the style they see fit.

Fight for freedom as a self-aware mech droid and liberate fellow imprisoned robotic companions. Foil the plans of the dastardly AWC, an organization of politicians, scientists, engineers, and secret agents, all aiming to rid robots of sentience and enslave them. Traverse the massive AWC Labs across four dystopian maps and bring down the corrupt corporation.

Build powerful mecha with a highly customizable transformation system. Choose from over 100 weapons from flaming chainsaws to 130mm naval artillery, and select core component mods to tweak firing rate, heat dissipation, armor, and more. Manufacture an unstoppable metal beast to crush opposing mechanical foes and eight distinct bosses with unparalleled power.

Combine a catalog of diverse equipment to fit each mech user’s preferred playstyle. Charge through enemies with high-energy blades for close combat, fire cannons in devastating turret form for ranged attacks, or swiftly dodge around the map while wielding laser cannons with splash damage. Experience hours of replayability with a dynamic modification system and discover synergistic builds, making each playthrough fresh.

“Metal Mind merges randomization and customization together into a distinct roguelite mecha experience,” said Joash Zhou, Founder of WHIRLLAXY LIMITED. “Mecha lovers across the Nintendo Switch and Epic Games Store platforms will find a lot to love in our game!”

Co-op Roguelite Card Game Azoove Tests Two Travelers on Steam March 14

Demo available now; Nintendo Switch version planned with full release in 2025

SEATTLE – Feb. 22, 2024 – Azoove, the co-op roguelite card game about surviving a journey through cursed desert dunes from developer Timeless Toucan, cooperatively shuffles cards and consequential conversations on Windows, Mac, and Linux (compatible with Steam Deck) via Steam Early Access Thursday, March 14, 2024.

Play a demo now on Steam with a Nintendo Switch launch set to arrive alongside version 1.0 on Steam in 2025.

Return the book to the library together, or face damnation. Collaborate with a partner in online co-op on a trek to end a calamitous curse, managing health, resources and mental composure. Face new disasters each day, and luck of the draw may not be in the pair’s favor, but new Opportunities and intelligent collaboration will save the day. 

Start each day with a hand of numbered cards that grant Action Points. Choose which Opportunity cards to share and play, but beware, as the adventurers cannot communicate with each other – and like the tabletop games that inspired Azoove, this rule should be followed. Make insightful deductions and intuit which Opportunities to share.

Each of the four heroes boasts unique Hero Powers converting leftover Action Points into helpful boons. Call upon Sage’s ability to conjure rations, Oriana’s powerful meditation that can add crucial action points, Rin’s group healing, and Auri’s ability to reduce despair. Use Action Points wisely, as they do not carry over to the next day.

Play through multiple difficulties with a friend, or practice with an AI partner. Earn points from each playthrough, building up a deck to help with future runs, with multiple difficulty levels available for replay value. 

“Each run players face different challenges, especially as the difficulty ramps up. It is fascinating to see how plays and moments emerge when two players are vying for survival” said Daniel Milo, founder of Timeless Toucan. “We’re eagerly awaiting the chance to observe how people respond to social situations where hard calls must be made with imperfect information – it really leads to some interesting storylines.”

Azoove launches on Thursday, March 14, 2024 for Windows, Mac, and Linux (with Steam Deck compatibility) via Steam, with a demo available now, and Nintendo Switch version planned with full release. For more information, join Azoove’s Discord, follow Timeless Toucan on Twitter and visit the game’s official website.

Feline Arena Fighter “Nyaaaanvy” Pounces onto PC and Switch Today

TOKYO – Feb 22, 2024 – Nyaaaanvy, the physics-based 3D catplatform fighter starring kitten combatants from publisher Phoenixx and developer Team DigitalMind, launches on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch today.

Fight as cute catlike creatures called “Nyanvy” as they wiggle and smack each other off ludicrous stages in physics-based combat. Engage in paw-to-paw battles to wear opponents down – the more damage they take, the farther they fly – then fling these fiendish furballs offstage. Remain the last cat standing across a variety of absurd arenas.

Pounce at enemies on top of a moving bus, across moving conveyor belts, or bouncing around in an old-school jungle gym. Deftly maneuver around obstacles while scooping up items, including randomly-appearing tuna cans for health and power boosts.

String together the perfect combo with directional attacks, knocking foes into obstacles to whisk them away. Unleash side-to-side attacks, launch enemies upward, or jump then strike for a powerful downward pounce. Practice combos before the catfight by warming up in the pre-game training area to hone movement and offensive skills ahead of time.

Create a ferocious fighter and climb the ranks of arcade mode, or fight endless waves of kitties in survival mode. Face off against a clutter of friends in 4-player local multiplayer, and up the ante in both six-playter skirmishes and one-on-one rating matches in online mode.

Curate the coolest cat on the block with a plethora of appearance options including fur color choices, body patterns, eye colors, and whisker types. Then, add the purr-fect  touch of pizzazz with accessories like bows, mustaches, top hats, eye patches and more.

“Today is National Cat Day in Japan, and we wanted to celebrate it by releasing Nyaaaanvy!” said RRR, member of Team DigitalMind. “Just like cats, physics-based fighters are known for their unpredictability, so we look forward to both surprising and delighting players with Nyaaaanvy.”

Nyaaaanvy is out now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch with language options in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. For more information, follow Phoenixx on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition

Techland refreshes its flagship game with a massive Firearms Update, including free Bloody Ties DLC for the ultimate zombie experience

Wrocław, Poland – 22 Feb. 2024 – It has been two years since Techland’s zombie extravaganza welcomed the first players in the post-apocalyptic city of Villedor. The game is constantly getting improved and refined, in line with the studio’s promise of 5 years of post-release support. With a dozen updates released that significantly upgrade the gameplay experience, the latest one brings the long-awaited firearms feature. Techland invites players to dive into the refreshed gameplay to see what’s changed – and what’s terrifyingly familiar.

The new Reloaded Edition offers the ultimate zombie experience to those who dabbled with Dying Light in the past and newcomers alike. It includes all previous updates, including the most recent Firearms Update, plus Bloody Ties DLC. The current owners of the Standard Edition will get upgraded for free.

The Firearms Update is the biggest content update the game has seen so far. The possibility of being able to shoot enemies has been much-requested by the community, and adds a brand new dimension to the beloved zombie game. It is important to note that firearms are an enhancement rather than a complete change of genre – they open new possibilities without altering the game’s DNA.

There are also many other excellent additions included in the update, such as co-op survivor missions, board quests, and various notable visual enhancements. The narrative itself gets enriched with the return of some scene-stealing characters from the first Dying Light game. 

PC players will have the great opportunity to experience Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition in all its glory during the Free Weekend on Steam, between today, 22 Feb. and Monday, 26 Feb. The game’s progression will carry over for those who choose to purchase the game at a later date. Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Reloaded Edition will also be available for 50% off on PC and consoles.

On top of all that, the community will be able to celebrate the Dying Light 2 Stay Human Second Anniversary event. Lasting from today, 22 Feb. at 3 am PT / 6 am ET / 11 am GMT, until Thursday, 7 March at 3 am PT / 6 am ET / 11 am GMT, the festivities will be marked by a series of special Bounties available via the Pilgrim Outpost as well as other in-game surprises. Watch the trailer to see the full scope of what’s in store.

To help us create unforgettable experiences for all Dying Light 2 Stay Human players, we invite them to join the conversation on Discord, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube – we’ll be waiting!
