Nintendo Switch joins the clutch later this year

BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky – March 9, 2023 – YOLKED – The Egg Game, the sadistic yet eggs-hilarating platforming adventure developed by HardBoiled Studios and published by Hitcents, scrambles its way out of Early Access to version 1.0 on Windows PC and macOS via Steam with a host of new content on Thursday, April 6, 2023. Nintendo Switch players will join the eggs-citing mayhem later in 2023.

Awake as a failed eggs-periment in the lab of a mad scientist assembling an army of mutant eggs for a nefarious plan. Escape an impending demise and explore every peril-filled room of his not-so-ordinary home including the lab, attic, kitchen, and garden. Join hundreds of soon-to-be chicks on an egg-lectrifying adventure soon to leave Early Access with new features, collectibles, a never-before-seen level, and the long-awaited ending reveal. 

Grab, swing, and climb through physics-based levels as a bouncing two-armed egg. Leap out of the way from obstacles including ketchup, spatulas, darts, and scissors, carefully plotting every move, as everyday household items aren’t the only threat. Watch out for bombs and fire torches, and don’t assume anyone is a friend, as bees, spiders, and piranhas are all looking forward to an egg take down.

Unlock more than 80+ cosmetic skins including Devil, Pineapple, Football, and Cactus costumes by completing achievements and exploring every nook and cranny of each rage-inducing environment. Master controls to escape the narrowest crack, test speedrunning skills, and climb the leaderboards to become the fastest egg in the world. Uncover the secrets behind the scientist’s plans, your creation, and why he’s so keen on cracking you once and for all.

“YOLKED started as a fun class project when we were college students,” said Hazel Wong, Game Developer and Co-Founder, HardBoiled Studios. “Back then, our only goal was to win first place since none of us had any game development experience, so it’s unbelievable to think we’re now published on Steam and soon to be on Nintendo. It’s been three years since we first started on this journey, and cannot wait to see where else it will take us!”

YOLKED -The Egg Game eggs-its Steam Early Access for a full release on Windows PC on Thursday, April 6, 2023, for $6.99 USD. It will support English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese languages.

• The only licensed Supercross videogame featuring official riders and tracks from the 2022 season is now available
• Find the rider in you under the coaching of the “King of Supercross” Jeremy McGrath
• Explore the Supercross Park and challenge your friends in the brand-new Rhythm Attack

Sydney, Australia / PALMETTO, Fla., (March 10, 2023) – Milestone and Feld Motor Sports, Inc. are pleased to announce the release of Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6. The only licensed Supercross videogame featuring official riders and tracks from the 2022 season is now available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam for Windows PC®. The PlayStation version supports Free Upgrade from PS4 to PS5, while the Xbox version features Smart Delivery.

With 8 different game modes, the new chapter of the historic franchise promises to deliver the true spirit of Supercross, bringing together the love for competition and the desire to freely enjoy dirt bikes. Racing legend Jeremy McGrath will mentor riders throughout their journey into the world of Supercross: from initial tutorials and challenges in the Supercross Academy to customised quests and trainings, the “King of Supercross” will guide both newcomers and returning players to master a newly renovated gameplay that is both realistic and rewarding. Regardless of their initial skill level, players will find a number of new tools and settings that allow complete customisation of riding aids (e.g. auto steering, auto brakes, auto throttle, etc.), and bike set-up options. Finding the right setting on the bike will be crucial to reach the top in the career mode, climbing the ladder from the first races in the 250SX Class to fighting for the 450SX Class championship title.

Riding is a lifestyle and just like in real life, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6 players can decide to enjoy their bikes beyond racing. The new Supercross Park is the perfect place to relax and chill alone or with friends; a massive free-roaming environment with five different areas containing huge jumps, original tracks, and so much to explore away from the pressure of competition. Riders will enjoy going full throttle down the Peak as well as launching themselves into exhilarating stunts at the Airport while darting through hangars and abandoned aircrafts; the most curious might try to dig into the secrets of the Quarry, while at the Stadium everyone will feel like the champion of the arena. Free-roaming aside, in the fifth area – inspired by the real-life FanFest – players can recover from injuries through the dedicated challenges of the Rider Shape System ortakeon special missions from Jeremy McGrath to improve their skills.

Also, a brand-new game mode to be played in split-screen will spice up the fun with friends: the Rhythm Attack consists of quick 1v1 shootout races on a straight section. No turns, no second chances: riders will compete in a single-elimination tournament until the champion is crowned.

Two new additions will enrich the online experience: for the first time, full console cross-play enables online matchmaking across every console system, while a new ranking system will constantly track online accomplishments.

Finally, after the success of past editions, the helmet and track editors are back. Choosing from a wide range of design options, players can express their style and share their creations with the online community, also cross-platform.  

Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 6 is now available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Steam for Windows PC®.

Long-Awaited Revival of a Japanese Horror Classic Finally Makes its way to the West!

BURLINGAME, Calif. – March 9, 2023 – Today, KOEI TECMO America is excited to announce that their remastered classic, FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, is now available digitally for the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam®. The original game, released exclusively in Japan in 2008 for the Nintendo Wii®, has been one of KOEI TECMO’s most requested remasters for over a decade, and this marks the first time FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is available to play, not only in North America, but across multiple consoles and PC.

FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse takes place a decade after five girls mysteriously disappeared at a moonlight festival on Rogetsu Isle, an island in southern Japan. While all of the girls were eventually rescued, their memories were lost, with only the faint remembrance of a single melody and a seemingly possessed masked woman dancing in the moonlight. Now, ten years later, with still no memory of the events surrounding their disappearances, two of the five girls have died, and the remaining three teenagers — Ruka Minazuki, Misaki Aso and Madoka Tsukimori — head back to the eerie island to solve the mystery of their friends’ deaths, while also unlocking the mystery of the memories left behind. 

As the girls explore the western-style mansions and abandoned hospitals on Rogetsu Isle, they will rely on the moonlight and a faint flashlight to search for clues. The story progresses by discovering relics like old newspaper articles and notes that help the girls unravel the island’s secret past. While exploring, the girls will also be confronted by a series of spirits. They will need to use a Fatal Frame franchise classic, the Camera Obscura, to repel vengeful ghosts, sealing away their power by photographing them. Throughout the game, the girls will need to equip stronger lenses and change out different films in order to capture the most powerful spirits, while also using the camera to capture “things that cannot be seen” to help them find the evidence they need to remember their haunting past. Later in the game, players will also be able to use the Spirit Torch – an exceptional device that uses moonlight stored in a spirit stone to subdue spirits.

The remastered game also features an all-new Photo Mode, along with new and altered costumes, and enhanced graphics including the improved rendering of shadows and light, delivering a more immersive and frightening experience. In addition, in-game movies and character models have been brushed-up to deliver a story that shines, both narratively and aesthetically as the three remaining girls attempt to rediscover their past before becoming victims once again. 

Alongside the standard version of the game, KOEI TECMO America also released a special FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Digital Deluxe Edition.Available digitally, this unique edition of the game includes the Rogetsu Isle Dinner Party Costume Set, and a digital art book (original soundtrack included).

In addition, anyone who purchases the digital copy of the game by March 22, 2023 will have the ability to download the early purchase bonus: Ruka Exclusive Costume “Marie Rose Outfit” from the Dead or Alive series. There is also a special save bonus costume for fans who have already played FATAL FRAME: Maiden of Black Water. Play FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse on the same device that has saved data from FATAL FRAME: Maiden of Black Water saved to receive the Save Data Bonus, the “Camera Obscura Hat”.
