LOS ANGELES – June 12, 2023 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, announces the launch schedule for its new 2D animation MMO RTS game, GRAND CROSS: AGE OF TITANS. Revealed during the 2023 Netmarble 1st New Games Media Showcase, early access for GRAND CROSS: AGE OF TITANS begins on June 30, 2023 (Android) ahead of its global launch release on August 2023 (iOS, Android, and PC).

GRAND CROSS: AGE OF TITANS (previously named GRAND CROSS W), is developed by Netmarble F&C, makers of the popular RPG game Seven Deadly Sins: GRAND CROSS. This 2D animation MMO RTS game features large-scale, immersive siege wars across land and air. Several game modes will be available for all players to enjoy including Single Player stages, World (Field) and Capturing, Castle War, Server vs. Server War, Story Chapters and Territory Expansion, and Territory Customization. Players can enjoy intense, siege warfare with MMORPG mechanics against other Alliances via Castle War.

“GRAND CROSS: AGE OF TITANS is a project that takes existing strategy games and animation graphics to the next level with distinguished strategic play,” said Min-Suk Kang, PD of Netmarble F&C. “The game offers a variety of unique characters, animation graphics, combat, and innovative massive warfare content.”

Players will lead multiple troop-types to win battles such as Infantry, Archers, Cavalry, and Siege Weapons. Ranged archers and air units add a new strategic component to the game and can turn the tide of the war. A giant battle unit named “Titan” is a distinctive feature that is much more powerful than other units, causing great damage and destruction to enemy formations regardless of terrain.

New PC demo available now via Steam

SEATTLE  — June 10, 2023 — The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales, a gripping narrative adventure from the creators of the indie hit The Final Station, DO MY BEST, and publisher tinyBuild, turns pages on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on Thursday, June 22, 2023, as seen today at the Future Games Show. A new demo is available now on Steam for those who want to join a writer’s journey ahead of launch.

Step into the world of literature, diving into the realms of text to track and steal legendary artifacts such as the Potion of Immortality, Excalibur, and Thor’s mighty hammer. Guide Etienne Quist, a writer-turned-thief with the ability to travel between fiction and reality in hopes of shortening his writer’s block sentencing. Traverse through the worlds of six fantastical books, each with its own rules and challenges. Encounter dangerous enemies, elaborate puzzles, and dozens of quirky characters along the way. Be prepared to persuade, deceive or battle anyone standing in Etienne’s path to redemption. 

Reshape legendary tales and solve puzzles by jumping between the dimensions of reality and hard covers. Form an unlikely bond with a mysterious caged page imprisoned in a lantern, serving as your invaluable partner-in-crime and guide in this daring adventure. Find materials to craft items and tools at workstations like a crowbar to open hatches, or break down scattered junk to replenish ink, a bookwalker’s source of power. Face different enemies like the Ink Eaters, shape shifting entities dwelling in the shadows, the undead hiding behind the walls of a wizard academy, and the writer’s police seeking to censor Etienne in turn-based battles. 

Navigate diverse and scenic landscapes with stunning graphics, immersive gameplay, and an engaging storyline with a deep narrative. Campaign through different settings from a grim medieval prison to a futuristic spaceship and a snow-capped mountain. Swap between first-person and isometric top-down perspectives depending on the environment.

“The Bookwalker is a must-play game for any literature lover who dreams of diving into different worlds and embarking on an immersive adventure,” said Oleg Sergeev, Co-Founder of DO MY BEST. “Like a novel, it develops in a compelling and whimsical story exploring a different and unforgettable gaming experience, with twist–instead of a mere reader, players are active participants of a fluid storyline.”

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales comes to PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store on Thursday, June 22, 2023 for USD $14.99.

SEATTLE – 12 June 2023 – 30XX, the sequel to Batterystaple Games’ mega-roguelite platformer 20XX enjoyed by millions, blasts away enemies and pixels at megaspeed in the latest animated trailer from Half Giant (Cult of the Lamb, Rogue Legacy 2) to reveal a release date of Wednesday, 9 August 2023, for both PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. 

Double jump into the future as robo-heroes Nina and Ace seek to uncover the fate of our fragile world after their thousand-year slumber following 20XX. 

Choose between a classic roguelite mode or the perma-death-free Mega Mode in either single-player or local/online co-op. Both experiences are equipped with ten randomly generated levels filled with nostalgic chiptunes, behemoth bosses, and thematic technological terrors. Customize 30XX’s difficulty for a tailored experience; tune down challenges with a robust Assist Mode or crank up custom Entropy Condition difficulty options to show off demonstrate mastery.

Upgrade Ace’s laser sword or Nina’s buster cannon with Techniques and Augments hidden throughout each stage or by saving up enough scrap from defeated foes to spend at shops. Close the distance between Ace and enemies with the Dolomite Link grapplewhip or channel his energy to transform his blade into the crushing Lara energy hammer. Smackdown robo-baddies using Nina’s Scatterblast for a widespread attack, or take out aerial enemies with the Vertibeam.

Stylishly sever opponents as Ace, who benefits from staying in the thick of battle and juggling multiple Techniques at once. Creatively combine Nina’s buster upgrades to unleash devastating hybrid attacks. Fuse special Boss Powers together to discover incredible new destructive potential, further empowering loadouts on the way to challenging 30XX’s fearsome Guardians and uncovering secrets.

Turn the platformer adrenaline dial up to eleven in Maker Mode, from the mind behind the Mega Man Maker fan project, and design hand-made section pieces or entire levels to share with the community. Create cleverly complex jumping puzzles, combine genres with an intricate Metroidvania stage full of ability gates, or assemble a ghastly gauntlet of automatons barring the exit. Engage with robust level discovery tools to easily find your favorite kinds of custom levels.

“The past two years of Early Access have flown by for the team, and we can’t wait to see the community’s reaction to the wild action and dark mystery of our full release,” said Batterystaple Games founder, Chris King. “We’re endlessly thankful to our Early Access community for helping us make 30XX into a game the team’s really proud of. When we enter v1.0 on PC and get to bring the action to Nintendo Switch this August, we look forward to watching our community dash towards all of 30XX’s Nier Automata-inspired hidden secret endings!”

30XX downloads onto Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on Wednesday, 9 August 2023 for $19.99 USD with English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified) language support. 30XX’s original soundtrack is also available to purchase for $9.99 USD.

Adorable feline adventure coming soon to Steam and Nintendo Switch

MADRID, SPAIN – 10 June 2023 – Everdeep Aurora, the lonely, desolate, yet hope-filled 2D adventure developed by Nautilus Games and published by Ysbryd Games, was revealed at today’s Wholesome Direct showcase, unveiling a nostalgic underground world. The Everdeep awaits on Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2024.

As an apocalyptic meteor shower ravages the world, civilization has no choice but to continue underground, separating a little cat named Shell from her mother. Forge a new path into the Earth as Shell, drilling through procedurally-generated tile-based rocks and creating platforming opportunities on the kitty’s downward journey in hopes of reuniting with her family. Learn how life has fared under the surface by navigating temples, underground lakes, abandoned ruins, and suspicious science labs while befriending the eccentric subterrestrial denizens occupying them.

Encounter more than 20 charming underground denizens, forming bonds along the journey. The horned ram Remulus offers to upgrade Shell’s trusty drill, Aster cultivates botanical gifts in her hidden garden, and Ribbert leads the way to refuge. Hum to the tune of each character’s distinct musical theme while recovering collectibles, ores, and fulfilling side quests to foster their friendship. As Shell continues downward, the distant sounds of their secluded melodies may be the only motivation to keep her going… 

With its nostalgia-inducing retro graphics and sound design, limited color palette, and square interface, Everdeep Aurora evokes a vintage aesthetic straight from beloved Nintendo Entertainment System pixel-painted titles. Nautilus Games goes a step beyond to accentuate the game’s artistry, including beautiful visual effects like color-grading transitions and whimsically-animated scenes.

“Everdeep Aurora mixes elements from games and movies of our childhood while exploring issues of isolation and bearing the burdens of past decisions,” said Mikel Ojea, co-founder of Nautilus Games. “We were inspired by many classic titles with dark touches like Castlevania, Undertale, The Goonies, and Lost, and created an entirely non-violent game. There is no combat or any enemies to fight in Everdeep Aurora – instead, we focused on exploration, both of the physical Everdeep, and of the emotions we wanted to evoke from players, aiming for a memorable and stirring gameplay experience.”

Everdeep Aurora is coming to Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2024. For more information about Everdeep Aurora, please visit the official website, join the community on Twitter and search #EverdeepAurora on social media.
