Kitchener, Ontario — Feb. 16, 2023 — Mayhem in Single Valley, the fast-paced puzzle- loaded action adventure from developer Fluxscopic and publisher tinyBuild, repels zombie hordes Thursday, March 2, 2023, on PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Guide Jack, an aspiring artist accepted into the college of his dreams. As he prepares to leave his hometown for art school, a terrible truck collision spills toxic sludge into the local water supply, transforming Jack’s neighbors and the surrounding wildlife of Single Valley into mindless zombies. With his neighborhood irradiated and the undead running rampant, Jack has no choise but to put his college plans on hold: this rising freshman now rises to save the world. 

Search Single Valley and determine how to stop the apocalypse. Solve puzzles and locate collectibles while dodging, luring, and stunning mutated enemies. Evade blood-thirsty bunnies, contaminated cats, and barbaric bears. Loot new materials to use as equipment and set up distractions to create paths through hordes of the undead. Learn the best ways to avoid conflict like tossing carrots to distract critters or firing nuts and bolts from a slingshot to daze the infected. 

Explore a beautiful pixelated world populated with 2D characters placed on a 3D modeled canvas, using shadows to enhance the atmosphere. A retro-inspired original soundtrack combined with 8-bit sound effects pays homage to the classic days of gaming, serenading survivors with a comforting sense of nostalgia.

“Paying homage to some of our favorite old-school titles with a more modernized design sensibility has been a rewarding experience, but nothing has been more fulfilling than receiving praise and gratitude from our passionate community saving Single Valley on PC,” said Brian Cullen, Founder at Fluxcopic. “We’re thrilled to expand onto consoles and eagerly await seeing new survivalists respond to the quirky characters of Single Valley.”

Mayhem in Single Valley will launch Thursday March 2, 2023, on PlayStation 5|4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, for $14.99 USD, and is currently available on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GoG. Language support includes English, French, Italian, German, Spanish – Spain, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.

DiscoverSeason 2 of DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS, and all its new content and characters, available now.

DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS season 2 includes a new Raider, one new map, as well as additional transpheres and customization possibilities. New Survivor Skins are also available, and you can now play as Yajirobe, Chi-Chi and King Furry. 

Season 2 also comes with a new Dragon Tier, with rewards upon playing and unlocking ranks including King Furry skin.

Get to play Vegeta, The Saiyan Prince, as the new Raider roaming the Temporal Seams of season 2!

• First Form: Saibaman

At the beginning of the match, you are playing a Saibaman. There are multiple of them around the map, and you can switch control between them. If the Saibaman’s HP reaches 0 or if some time passes, even if the evolution energy is not maxed out, the Saibaman will evolve automatically. The third way to evolve is by grabbing a survivor and using the skill “self-destruct.”

• Second form: Nappa

Nappa can increase its evolution energy by finishing off civilians and injuring Survivors. When Nappa fills up the evolution energy or if he is defeated by Survivors, Vegeta takes over as your next form.

• Third form: Vegeta

Vegeta has two ways to transform into the Great Ape. The first is to create a Power Ball: this is an active skill of Vegeta that creates a makeshift full moon needed to transform into a Great Ape. The second way is to gather all 7 Dragon Balls, then ask Shenron to “show you the full moon” which triggers the Great Ape transformation.

Both Nappa and Vegeta own a Scouter that highlights Survivors around them within a certain range. Nappa can plant a Saibaman in the ground that will ambush approaching Survivors. On the other side, Vegeta can use his skill “Call Nappa” to search Survivors. This skill is available to Vegeta only if Nappa evolved without being defeated by Survivors.

New transpheres introduced in Season 2 of DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS include:

• Goku (Super Saiyan)’s active skill: Instant transmission. This skill allows you to concentrate and focus on where your allies are. You can then reach your allies instantly.
• Gohan (Teen)(Super Saiyan)’s passive Skill: Ki control. This new skill reduces how long the Ki effect (blue aura) lasts when caught by the Raider while hiding.

Get to see Vegeta’s power unleashed in this new trailer:

Vegeta, Yajirobe and Chi-Chi are available in the in-game shop, as well as a “Raider and Survivor Skin Set” combining the three characters!

Besides those new characters, additional customization items are added in the in-game shop. Finally, a new map, “Rocky Field”, is added as a free update.

The game is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, and compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The Most Ambitious Digital Pinball Platform in Videogame History Kicks Off with 86 Tables at Release (Introducing The Addams Family!), Exciting New Features and the Promise of Continuous Expansion

SAN FRANCISCO – Feb. 16, 2023 – With today’s release of Pinball FX, a new era of digital pinball from Zen Studios has finally arrived. Including a day-one, ever-expanding lineup of 86 tables, plus an impressive suite of new features, the revolutionary pinball platform is now available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, also graduating from early access to full official release on the Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch version arrives this spring. The free download includes Wild West Rampage at no cost, and trial modes exist for all tables.

Fans of the Pinball FX franchise have long appreciated its healthy mix of original and licensed tables, each brought to life with gameplay and special effects impossible on a physical table. A Pinball Pass subscription ($14.99 per month) allows unlimited access to over 70 of the 86 launch tables, or they can be purchased in multipacks such as Star Wars™ Pinball Collection 1 (10 tables), Marvel Pinball Collection 1 (11 tables), Universal Classics Pinball (3 tables) or Gearbox® Pinball (3 tables).

All returning tables from previous editions have been fully remastered in Unreal Engine, with ray-tracing-enhanced, 4K-HDR visuals, as well as upgraded Pro Physics. Not lacking in fresh downloadable content, Pinball FX also introduces three brand-new releases: Borderlands®: Vault Hunter Pinball, Brothers in Arms®: Win the War Pinball and The Addams Family (itself including never-before-seen enhanced play, as with all Williams classics).

At the same time, console players can get their hands on more than 15 tables for the first time which Pinball FX early access players have already been able to enjoy, such as Star Wars Pinball: The Mandalorian, World War Z Pinball, DreamWorks Pinball, five Zen Originals, plus Williams classics World Cup Soccer and The Machine: Bride of Pin-Bot. Zen will release new tables regularly, many involving exciting new licensed IPs – most immediately, Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla vs. Kong.

Beyond the tables themselves, the hub area invites players to fully customize the “Pin Hall” trophy room of their dreams, with items earned from personal pinball achievements. Players can also engage with specialized tournaments and events there created both by themselves and Zen.

Accessible via the Pin Hall later this year, Pinball Royale mode combines classic pinball with player-elimination gameplay for a fresh take on battle royale. It also exemplifies Zen’s commitment to adding new features, gameplay and especially tables on a regular basis for the foreseeable future.

“I think it’s fair to say that this is the biggest single day in the history of Zen Studios – and maybe even digital pinball itself,” said Mel Kirk, Chief Operating Officer at Zen Studios. “The future has never been brighter for Pinball FX as a franchise, and we cannot wait to show you some of the other great stuff we have in store for the future.”
