MARIO + RABBIDS SPARKS OF HOPE: RAYMAN IN THE PHANTOM SHOW LAUNCHES ON AUGUST 30

Rayman is back in the third DLC for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.

Sydney, Australia – August 2, 2023 – Today Ubisoft® announced that Mario + Rabbids® Sparks of Hope: Rayman in the Phantom Show will release on August 30. In the final DLC for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Rayman will team up with Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach as they meet again with the Phantom!

In this brand-new adventure, separate from the main game’s story line, players will control Rayman, Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario as they discover the dramatic Space Opera Network, an uncanny TV studio full of props and easter eggs. This place is run by the Phantom, a previous antagonist from Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, returning as a studio director beyond reproach. With the TV studio’s ratings lower than ever, he needs the help of true stars to help him return to his former glory.

Rayman and his friends will explore brand new vertical levels on a variety of TV studio sets, as Rayman uses his haircopter ability to jump and take Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario with him. During battles, players will have tons of new tactical possibilities by leveraging the full power of Rayman’s arsenal, from his plunger blaster to his aerial traversal abilities, all coming straight from Rayman history.

The walk down memory lane won’t stop there, as David Gasman reprises his role as the limbless hero, and Christophe Heral joins Grant Kirkhope to compose the DLC Original Soundtrack.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope: Rayman in the Phantom Show can be bought standalone for AU$22.95 or as part of the Season Pass and Gold Edition. For more information about this edition, please visit https://www.mariorabbids.com/buypyt .

Livestream Manipulative Media to Control an Empire in “The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily” Next Year

JAPAN – August 1, 2023 –The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily, the crowd-controlling turn-based strategy game produced by One or Eight (LOST EPIC), WSS playground (Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth-), and Alliance Arts, broadcasts a 2024 release window on PC via Steam.

The King has been murdered, but who committed the heinous crime? False accusations paint villainess Scarlet as the perpetrator, and the Empire sentences her to death. Narrowly avoiding the guillotine, Scarlet travels back in time to before her execution where she comes across a mysterious girl named Lily, a master of media and livestreaming.

Together with Lily, Scarlet harnesses the power of livestreaming in an era without the internet to lead a revolution and take revenge on the Empire. Combine Scarlet’s wit with Lily’s expertise to manipulate imperial forces with deceptive information and sway public opinion in Scarlet’s favor.

Leverage the power of the media to outsmart the enemy. Steal the Empire’s only aerial warship to spread fake news from above, and influence imperial ground troops with distractions to increase the odds of victory. Orchestrate uncertainty amongst generals to cut off supply chains, and concoct diversions to direct enemies away from key strike points, then confront imperial battalions at their weakest moment.

Bolster Scarlet’s ranks with prisoners of war, swayed by propaganda to join the cause. Converse with apprehended comrades, each with their own distinct story, to build trust and bolster the morale of friendly forces. Foster deep bonds through conversation to unlock stat-boosting abilities, and build up Scarlet’s rebellion from a small nuisance to legions of unstoppable forces strong enough to topple the entire Empire. 

The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily is ultimately a story about mass media. If we can so easily sway public opinion in a world before the Internet, where will the power of media technology go?” says Daichi Saito, CEO of WSS Playground. “We look forward to seeing how players exercise what could be called excessive press power.”

The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily is coming to PC in 2024 with language options in English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. For more information, Visit the Alliance Arts official website, follow Alliance Arts on Twitter and YouTube.

GHOSTBUSTERS: SPIRITS UNLEASHED LAUNCHES THIRD FREE DLC ON August 1, 2023

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.

MEGA CAT STUDIOS AND SASHA DARKO ANNOUNCE SACRED LINE II, AN ENTHRALLING ADVENTURE GAME FOR SEGA MEGA DRIVE / GENESIS

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.
