Deadly with a scalpel, and marking enemies for death, this fiendish fox debut is one to remember

XD Games, Shanghai — April 26, 2023 |  With Flash Party’s ninth season, The Wheel of Destiny, well underway, developer XD Games is debuting their latest playable hero to join the colourful roster: Foxx! Now available to unlock in-game, this scalpel-wielding fighter is a fierce assaulter capable of delivering devastating attacks at close range with one or two tricks hidden up his spectral sleeve.

Foxx is a great pick for Flash Party fans who favour close-quarters action over anything else! The 22nd hero in Flash Party utilises the unique combos his scalpels can provide, Foxx is able to deliver massive amounts of damage to his foes. Firstly, his blue scalpel is used to perform a neutral attack, which applies a ‘Soul Mark’ to his enemies. Using his red scalpel, Foxx is able to unleash lethal follow-up attacks and even detonate the ‘Soul Mark’ to create an extra explosion. A lethal two-pronged, or rather scalpelled, attack that will see players gain a vital edge against their opponents in battle.

Check out a sneak-peak of Foxx in the video below:

But it doesn’t stop there! After equipping Colourful Stickers, Foxx’s skills will gain even stronger combo abilities, and his giant hand (did we mention he has an enormous spectral hand?) will be empowered further, helping him seize the initiative — and other players — on the battlefield. Perfect for grabs, counter attacks or just getting in close to deliver the final blow, Foxx’s hands-on approach will take Flash Party by storm.

The scalpel is his weapon of victory, the spectral hand his ultimate support and the unquenchable soul fire under Foxx’s eye patch will ignite cheers and applause throughout the Flash Party.

New Legendary Skin for Alice: The Little Gardener Coming Soon!

It’s not just Foxx who is a welcome addition to Flash Party. As the weather warms up, Alice has put on her gardener’s outfit and is raring and ready to go to the most popular outdoor destination in Metropolis to plant flowers – or, play in the mud!

A new series of skins: Vernal Ode, including the Legendary Alice skin: The Little Gardener and the new hero Foxx skin: Primavera Painter, will also be launched in-game today so make sure to check them out!

Dallas, TX – April 24, 2023 – Vexlands, the open-world crafting adventure developed by Emberheart Games and published by Apogee Entertainment, sets off to build a homestead on Steam for PC, GOG and the Epic Games Store in early 2024.

Forge a safe haven in the midst of a long cursed worldscape, and embark on a journey to discover the source of the surroundings’ ill fate. In this peculiar, all but vacant landscape, discover remnants of the past that tell tales of the disappearance of humanity. Explore and expand into the unknown while on the hunt for food sources and relics, and craft items to increase chances of survival.

Gather resources in exchange for precious coins, and spend hard-earned money to unlock nearby territories. Each parcel purchase is a gamble and permanently introduces good or bad elements into the ecosystem. Fruitful new areas can add positives to the world like raw materials, food sources, and new dungeons, while unlucky land grabs unleash dangerous enemies and enact natural disasters with surprising effects on the surroundings.

Every playthrough offers a one-of-a-kind experience thanks to a procedurally generated world with dynamic weather. Pray for light rain to water crops, but fear storms capable of flooding farm grounds. Meteor strikes and lightning can crush buildings, but yield rare materials in the wreckage. And don’t forget to make it home before dark for a strategic advantage against the monsters lurking at night. 

Outfit a thriving home base with supplies and defensive structures, and rest between quests into the unknown across five biomes. Harvest trees and foliage to provide tools and sustenance, and build crafting stations to upgrade gear. Discover local livestock and herd them homeward to create ongoing food sources, and construct buildings to speed up resource production and efficiency. Collect multi-purpose herbs that can be used for cooking up stamina-building meals or as part of alchemy recipes for potions to increase health, speed and defense.

Slash, dash and magic blast enemies to smithereens during jaunts into new territory, and prioritize a plethora of abilities with extensive skill trees. Focus on farming, production and storage upgrades to craft the perfect homestead, and level up adventuring skills to make quick work of enemies during skirmishes and dastardly dungeon crawls. 

“Vexlands shines in its customizability. Each playthrough is a new experience that lends itself to different playstyles,” says Scott Miller, Founder of Apogee Entertainment. “Between a beautiful procedurally generated world, a completely custom progression system and a pinch of coziness, a unique adventure awaits for every player and every playthrough.” 

Vexlands is now in development, headed to Steam for PC, GOG and the Epic Games Store in 2024. For more information, please connect with the official Emberheart Games website, as well as the legendary publisher Apogee Entertainment on their official website, Twitter, Discord, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

As a developer, Apogee would innovate and inspire in equal measure, creating treasured characters and franchises like Duke Nukem, Max Payne, Shadow Warrior, and Prey en route to earning over a billion dollars.

The new Apogee Entertainment, with founder Scott Miller and longtime partner Terry Nagy at the helm, will empower today’s incredibly talented indie developers, paving the way for their global success with innovative ideas, cutting-edge marketing, and the same fearlessness that changed the industry.

Emberheart Games

The lead developer on Vexlands is Primoz Vovk of Emberheart Games, whose previous work includes recent remasters of past Apogee hits from the 90’s, like Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, and Monster Bash. Vexlands is an all-new IP and collaboration between Apogee and Emberheart on an IP owned by Apogee.

First ever collaboration between Popeye and World of Warships to feature in-game commanders and exclusive items, while raising awareness for World Ocean Month in June

AUSTIN, TX (April 24, 2023) — Wargaming, the publisher and developer of the leading naval multiplayer World of Warships, has today announced an official partnership with pop-culture icon Popeye the Sailor Man in a special collaboration recognizing World Ocean Month. This collaboration will take place in tandem with a charity partnership, to be announced ahead of the content becoming available to purchase. Taking place every June, World Ocean Month is an annual celebration of our ocean and a platform to raise awareness of the work needed to maintain the Earth’s greatest ecosystem.

The Popeye Charity Bundle will include in-game commanders Popeye and Bluto, including bespoke voiceovers, two flags, and a unique camouflage for the Tier VII USS Colorado.

Popeye, the iconic, spinach-eating sailor, and clean ocean advocate, is owned by King Features Syndicate, a unit of Hearst and home to some of the world’s most popular entertainment characters. A longtime advocate for ocean conservation, in 2020, Popeye announced his representation of The SeaCleaners, an organization that focuses on long-term and worldwide preservation of the ocean, joining its fight against plastic pollution and raising awareness of its ocean conservation efforts. This partnership with Wargaming continues Popeye’s commitment to sustainability and ocean conservation.

It feels even more special knowing we are making a contribution to raising awareness about the ocean preservation while bringing joy to our players,” commented Marko Valentic, Global Business Development and Communications Director at Wargaming.

“As one of the world’s most recognizable pop-culture sailors, we could not think of a better gaming partner for Popeye than World of Warships,” said Jarred Goro, vice president, licensing, North America, King Features. “We are thrilled that World of Warships passion for ocean conversation matches our own and we look forward to bringing this in-game collaboration to fans around the world.”

About Popeye
Sailor. Tough guy. Hero. Legend. That’s Popeye. He’s an underdog with bulging forearms, a mean uppercut and a love of canned spinach; he is unassuming, unsophisticated and undeterred by a challenge. From the minute he walked into the comic strip “Thimble Theatre” and muttered his famous “Ja think I’m a cowboy?” line, Popeye the Sailor Man captured the hearts of millions of fans around the globe. As the star of his own comics strips and animated content on the big screen and small, Popeye became quickly ingrained in American culture and today remains one of the most recognizable pop culture icons in the world.
