Experience a heartfelt tale of loss and personal growth in this lane-based beat-’em-up featuring an all-star hero cast of badass cheerleaders

Cincinnati, Ohio (March 7, 2023) – Ra Ra Boom makes its official debut today as Cincinnati-based Gylee Games released the game’s official announcement trailer ahead of its first showcase at this year’s upcoming Game Developer Conference in San Francisco. Ra Ra Boom is an eye-catching, distinctive fast-paced four-player co-op beat ‘em up driven by a meaningful and emotional coming-of-age narrative about a group of ninja cheerleaders from space in a fight to save the rest of humanity on Earth. 

Check out the reveal trailer for Ra Ra Boom here:

In today’s reveal trailer, meet the team and watch them launch into action. Each member of Ra Ra Boom’s diverse cast of playable characters – Aris, Saida, Ren and Vee – sports their own weapons and abilities, giving players four different, unique takes on combat. Play fast and loose as Aris with her scythe or bring the pain as Vee, who wields a shield and machine gun. Any way you play, you and your teammates will be dismantling the robotic opposition.  

Building on the game’s core frenetic beat ’em up 2D action co-op gameplay, Ra Ra Boom incorporates huge boss battles and ranged attacks to create diverse gameplay within the traditional beat ‘em up genre. Each of the ninja cheerleaders will sport upgradable combos for both melee and ranged attacks featuring light, heavy and special attacks to keep each fight fresh and fierce. 

Ra Ra Boom also augments traditional beat ’em up gameplay with its unique integrated lane system. Integrating horizontal lanes naturally into the hand-drawn environments, you’ll be able to tell which enemy you’re targeting with a flurry of furious blows – whether in melee range or attacking from a distance using ranged attacks. With the ability to quickly switch between lanes, you can strategically target multiple opponents, racking up massive combos any true beat-’em-up fan can enjoy.

Ra Ra Boom features four playable, relatable characters all processing grief in their own way after the death of their friend and leader at the nefarious hands of Zoi, humanity’s biggest and most dangerous AI. After this rogue AI tried to destroy humanity 20 years ago, some humans managed to escape – but they didn’t get far. Now Zoi is back to finish what it started, and four teenage ninja cheerleaders who have only known life on a spaceship are the only ones capable of stopping the complete destruction of humanity off Earth.

Sporting an all-star, hand-drawn cast, each character will undergo their own character arcs which will tackle relatable topics such as mental health, friendship, trust, imposter syndrome and more. Cinematic cutscenes will assist in driving this narrative through the game, weaving each character together through the ups and downs of their quest for revenge and their mission to save the world. 

The game’s initial 10 levels introduce a variety of robot enemies and bosses ready for a challenge. Players will have to hone their skills if they are going to save humanity from the evil clutches of the AI. 

The journey back to Earth begins this Fall.

London, UK – 7th March 2023. Showcasing the FMV game – interactive film as the convergence of Film and Video Games; The Gallery will screen in various cinemas during the London Games Festival as an official side event from 29th March to 7th April.

Details of venues, dates, screening times and how to buy tickets can be found here.

Two Decades. Two identities. It’s going to take everything you’ve got to survive the night. 

The Gallery has been created to engage both film fans and gamers with its blend of high production values, stellar cast and a nuanced script depicting the film’s two time periods – 1981 and 2021 – both of which are of considerable political, social and cultural significance in UK history.

The cinema version lasts around 140 minutes with a screening of both time periods or 70 minutes with a screening of one time period.

The cinema screening takes place with a Facilitator “playing” The Gallery on a lap-top. As the audience enters, they are given “Glowsticks” which they use to vote for their choices. The Facilitator pauses the film for 2-3 seconds at each decision point. The majority choice of the audience as indicated by the “Glowsticks” prevails and the film continues.

The hit indie roguelike’s celebratory DLC brings fans back to Castlevania for a revamped tribute experience

Bordeaux, France (March 6, 2023) – The latest Dead Cells adventure from Motion Twin and Evil Empire has finally arrived: explore the world that inspired the hit indie roguelike in a world-shattering collaboration today with Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania. The ambitious DLC, which adds numerous new weapons, enemies and three deadly bosses – all in a bombastic and unprecedented Castlevania mashup – is available today for $9.99 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and the Nintendo Switch: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2101430/Dead_Cells_Return_to_Castlevania/

Take your first steps into Dracula’s Castle:

Today’s incredible launch trailer does not hold back: proudly showcasing the variety and attention to detail that the Evil Empire devs put into the stunning gothic environments of Dracula’s Castle. Each corridor, bridge and balcony from Castlevania has been painstakingly recreated in the gorgeous signature art style of Dead Cells. Play as 20 (…yes, 20!) iconic characters in Return to Castlevania, including Castlevania legends Richter Belmont and Alucard, and wield 14 brand-new weapons as you take on Dracula, Medusa and Death himself. Return to Castlevania is a massive love letter to the franchise that inspired Dead Cells, and hosts the most insane boss fight yet – catch a glimpse of what awaits when you finally meet Dracula Beast Form in a no-holds-barred, all-out, batshit boss fight. Best of luck. 

But don’t fret: that sweet, sweet loot will help unlock new abilities to take on the various new challenges waiting for you. And of course, no Dead Cells DLC would be complete without the addition of a new pet: today’s trailer also introduces Maria Renard’s cat, which can be found …somewhere… in the castle ready to shred your foes to death with her surprisingly powerful claws. With this power at your fingertips (or hanging out on your shoulder), the minions of Dracula will be dead before you can say “wall meat.” And yes, you can pet the cat.

Revealing the many secrets hidden in Dracula’s Castle requires luck, skill and patience – keep your eyes peeled for the many Castlevania easter eggs that lie in wait. Extra secrets are hidden in the Castle, including the massive nostalgia bomb of Richter Mode: stashed away in the gloomy halls, this unlockable mode will let players relive their experience in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, complete with a moveset inspired by the title that includes all of Richter’s original, iconic attacks. 

Finally, behind all of that content is a soundtrack of 51 original Castlevania songs that can be played anywhere in the game, plus 12 of the most famous tracks re-made in the style of Dead Cells for the DLC levels. 

The largest and most ambitious DLC to date for the 8mm+ selling roguelite, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania hosts the ultimate culmination of challenges, detail and surprises spanning the entirety of Dead Cells’ development, and it is available to fans around the world today from developers Evil Empire and Motion Twin.

“Gore Magala” has invaded the world of “Street Fighter™: Duel”! Wycademy invites all fighters to participate in the mission and assist Ken in the crusade against the Gore Magala.

New Fighter Gore Magala Ken joins the fight!

“Gore Magala Ken” is a fighter who is capable of inflicting both single-target and AOE damage. He is of the Infernal King Faction, which grants your team a buff according to the number of fighters belonging to the Infernal king faction in your team.

Gore Magala Ken proves himself a very aggressive fighter; his fighter type is Balanced, and with a fighting style of Savage which gives him + 25 ATK. According to your team composition, he can be a primary or secondary damage dealer.

He could also be strong in the PvP perspective as his supercombo “Tetsuzanko” can deal massive single-target damage. Gore Magala Ken will be a fine addition to the team with solid combos, as his abilities automatically stack with other fighters when they are combing.

The hunt is on! Challenge Gore Magala and win exclusive rewards

“Wycademy Assist” will supply food to fighters and receive a certain buff before challenging Gore Magala, similarly in the “Monster Hunter” series, in which hunters consume food from the Felyne Bistro/Canteen before their mission. During the “Gore Magala Hunt”, it is recommended to select deploy Gore Magala Ken for the hunting event to receive a damage buff for your team.

Players will challenge Gore Magala’s three body parts (wings, claws, and head) to receive different rewards corresponding to its body part depending on the damage dealt, which can be used for exchanging rewards such as avatar frame: Gore Magala, valuable fighters, and Arcade Coins from the “Wycademy Supplies”. 

When challenging Gore Magala, there will be preferences toward fighters factions. For instance, fighters from the specific Faction can deal more and take less damage when challenging the corresponding body part. The Gore Magala also possesses a normal state and rage state, meaning players who like to challenge themselves can go ahead and fight the wyvern in its rage state. There will also be another event-Shadaloo Invasion. Participate in this event to claim rewards such as “Monster Bone” and “Wyvern Tear”. Wyvern Tear is essential for unlocking Gore Magala Ken.
