Now through March 29, Prospectors can drop into deadly storms to earn new weapons, gear and cosmetics before Season 3 begins

BERLIN – March 15, 2023 – The Cycle: Frontier’s third season arrives March 29, but before then, Prospectors can take on the unique challenges of the new “Storm Divers” in-game event, beginning today on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Strange occurrences are taking place on Fortuna III, as the frequency of storms on Crescent Falls and Tharis Island have tripled. Desperate to uncover the cause of these events, the factions propose dropping Prospectors directly into the storm to investigate.

Players who opt-in to become Storm Divers will get specialized gear to help them survive the tempest, including a night vision helmet, storm-protecting armor, and helpful mods and consumables. Prospectors also have the chance to craft any factional weapon normally locked behind reputation requirements, including legendary weapons and most of the epic and exotic gear, thanks to alien meteor cores and fragments that can only be found on event maps. This streamlined access to late-game equipment offers players the opportunity to experiment with various weapons and gear they may not have had before.

Key Event Details:

• Become a Storm Diver: Players can opt-in by playing on the Crescent Falls and Tharis Island maps, where they will spawn during the storm and receive special gear from factions.
• Drop with Specialized Gear: Prospectors can access special equipment like a night vision helmet and storm-protecting armor to help them navigate the dangerous conditions.
• Storms in Overdrive: Storms occur three times more frequently than before. Meteors will crash down throughout the storm, providing dangerous opportunities for great rewards.
• Accelerated Economy: Prospectors can accumulate wealth and favor more rapidly, accessing high-end gear with meteor fragments from the storm.
• Event Quests with Cosmetic Rewards: Each faction has a specific event questline, with a special weapon coating available as a reward. Players can collect up to three cosmetic rewards.
• The Howler Is Coming: Keep your eyes peeled for Howler nest locations on both maps, which you’ll be learning more about when Season 3 kicks off later this month…

SHODAN Will Deal With You All…

Sydney, Australia – 15^th March 2023: The wait is (almost) over. The PC edition of System Shock – the fully fledged remake of the ground-breaking original from 1994 – will go on sale on Tuesday, 30^th May 2023 (Wednesday 31^st May AEDT).

We had hoped to bring the game to market by the end of March, but that turned out to be just beyond our reach; we are, after all, merely human (unlike Shodan!).

The System Shock remake combines the cult gameplay of the iconic original game with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface and all-new sounds and music. From never-before-seen enemies and quality of life gameplay tweaks to a revamped hacking system and visceral new combat options featuring a brutal dismemberment system, the System Shock remake welcomes players new and old back to Citadel Station and the arms of the delightfully villainous SHODAN.

Players use a combination of stealth, cunning and futuristic weaponry to make their way through Citadel Station’s all-new areas; players will encounter traps, puzzles and secrets in their quest to try and save Earth from destruction.

The PC edition of System Shock is available to pre-order via Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store – and includes a free copy of the upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for all early buyers. The newly released Steam Next Fest playable demo can be found on the respective storefronts.

Console editions of System Shock will release on PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X in due course.

The next installment of the Pixel Pulps Anthology expands beyond the world of Mothmen 1966

VANCOUVER, Canada — March 14, 2023 — Varney Lake, the second visual novel in a series inspired by mid-20th century pulp fiction and ‘80s home computer graphics from developer LCB Game Studio and publisher Chorus Worldwide, will merge mysteries and monsters on Friday, April 28, 2023 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Paranormal investigator Lou Hill can’t stop thinking about a mind-blowing case dating from the Summer of 1954. Help Lou retrace the steps of three kids’ summer vacation from decades ago, and collectively come to the truth behind their supposed encounter with a vampire. But Jimmy, and Christine, now in their 40s, may have murky memories of the time…and what really happened to Doug?

Recall the trio’s story via choice-based gameplay and explore the multiple roads of a branching interactive fiction without friction. Solve accessible, brain-tickling puzzles while learning more about the paranormal investigator himself in a dual-timeline story inspired by books with choices and branching narratives from the past. Decipher details between generations to finally close the book on a case left open for nearly 30 years.

Created by novelist Nico Saraintaris and artist Fernando Martinez Ruppel, Varney Lake follows its predecessor Mothmen 1966 as the second installment of the Pixel Pulps anthology.

“We love how differently Varney Lake approaches horror compared to Mothmen 1966,” said Shintaro Kanaoya, founder and CEO of Chorus Worldwide. “The first Pixel Pulp installment hid its cryptic truths in the dark surrounding woods — Varney Lake hides them in plain sight. We’re so excited for you to see the same macabre Pixel Pulps intrigue presented in a whole new light.”

Varney Lake will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on Friday, April 28, 2023 for $9.99 / €7.99 / £8.49 with support for English, Spanish, German, French, and Japanese languages.

SHERMAN OAKS, Cali. – March 14, 2023 – Hell of an Office, the satanic speedrunning first-person platformer from developer 43 Studios and publisher Joystick Ventures, jumps through hoops to escape an infernal workplace and onto Steam Early Access for PC today.

Many corporations create toxic work environments, but that’s nothing compared to the CEO that is the literal devil. And if stakes weren’t high enough, a quickly rising floor of lava surrounding flammable walls of paperwork puts the “dead” in deadline. Storm into 40 office-based levels throughout the Ten Circles of Hell with the help of an ability granting stapler from the office mascot, Mr. Stapley. Rocket jump, air dash, and fire flaming staples to chase the frantic dream of escaping the HellO Corporation.

Avoid spike-covered walls, blistering lazer beams, and infinitely-spinning saw blades, among other dangerous obstacles made to keep all employees from clocking out. Create customized routes through levels thanks to versatile and addictive level design in the ever long chase for Diamond Rank times, top spots on the leaderboards, and of course, bragging rights.

Hell of an Office starts its first day of devilish work in Steam Early Access on Windows PCs today for $9.99 USD with English language support. For more information on Hell of an Office, please visit the official website, follow the game on Twitter and TikTok, and join the community in Discord.
