TALLINN, ESTONIA – 5 APRIL, 2023 – Ultra, a complete PC video gaming platform created by AAA games industry talent from companies like Ubisoft, Wargaming, Playstation and Nintendo, today proudly announces the launch of Ultra Games, a true next generation PC games store created to challenge the status quo in game distribution. 

The Ultra Games store will be accessible globally from the 25th April 2023 at 16:00 UTC and can be downloaded here for PC, with launch titles including – among many others – Lords of the Fallen, The Walking Dead Definitive Series, WRC7, the Syberia series, and the Beholder series. Ultra Games has been rigorously beta tested with a passionate community of more than 1,000 gamers worldwide.

Ultra Games aims to solve existing challenges in PC gaming with a more contemporary and intuitive approach to discoverability and community management for games of all sizes, while offering a fairer revenue split for developers and publishers. Encompassing a modern storefront, curated library and powerful launcher, Ultra Games offers an extensive and growing catalogue from leading publishers and developers including Nacon, Plug In Digital, Skybound, Microids, Graffiti Games, and Fulqrum, while tech partners include AMD and Ubisoft.

For PC gamers, Ultra Games will offer a number of pioneering features such as opportunities to resell games from their digital library with the permission of the developer, and a referral system that gives players a percentage of their friends’ game purchases. Game developers and publishers can choose whether or not to activate these blockchain-enabled features for their titles, and set parameters that work for both their business and their community. Their goal is to bring gamers and developers closer together in vibrant communities, by opening direct channels of communication between both camps. Key initiatives include feedback and community management features, and events such as competitive tournaments on the Ultra Arena platform. 

Nicolas Gilot, Co-CEO at Ultra, commented:

“The PC gaming distribution market is running out of steam and ripe for disruption. Yes, the leading legacy platforms have been incredibly successful to date, but we believe there’s much room for improvement for gamers, devs and pubs. We explicitly engineered Ultra Games to address critical issues such as high fees for developers and lack of real, flexible game ownership for players. This is still only the beginning for us but, by addressing these issues, we want to help create more meaningful, more transparent relationships between communities. I can’t wait to see this vision start to come to fruition after five years of development and listening to the needs of developers and players.”

Yves Bléhaut, SVP, Strategic Partnerships at Microids, added: 

“We are delighted to be a part of the Ultra Games launch, offering our cherished titles to an enthusiastic gaming community. The Ultra Games store provides a distinctive opportunity for fans to explore and experience our games, and we can’t wait to witness what the future holds in partnership with Ultra.”

New Combat Options Arrive for Two-Player Teams and Single Players Alike in the Biggest Addition Yet for One of the Most Celebrated Modern Tributes to Classic Action Adventures

QUEBEC CITY (April 5, 2023) – Developer Berzerk Studio (Just Shapes & Beats) today announced with publisher The Arcade Crew that Infernax: Deux or Die, the free multiplayer update adding a new playable fighter, simultaneous co-operative play, and warrior-swapping combat for solo players in the goriest successor to classic action adventure games, is now available to owners of the original Infernax on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Infernax: Deux or Die is also playable on PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.

The update arrives with a new launch trailer spotlighting the added intensity an extra fighter brings to Infernax: Deux or Die’s sidescrolling sparrings with hell’s most fiendish beasts. Get a blood-splattered look at Infernax: Deux or Die’s elevated melee combat in new gameplay of both co-operative and single player, character-swapping action: 

Infernax: Deux or Die features:

• A Formidable New Fighter: Cervul the Squire joins the demon-bashing fray with deadly proficiency in axe throwing and tool-assisted combat along with buff-granting abilities
• Powerfully Vile Attacks: Should Cervul be led down Infernax: Deux or Die’s darker morality path, an explosive alternate moveset will completely overhaul his playstyle
• Dual Warrior Combat: Two players can dispatch hell’s grisliest terrors in simultaneous local co-op, while solo players can tag between controlling either fighter
• A Fully Rebalanced Quest: A fully rebalanced adventure offers a distinct playthrough of Infernax’s entire campaign, tailored to accommodate a second playable hero (or villain)
• Co-Op Gun Mode: The beloved Contra-style homage now packs enough ammo for two – trade in a mace and axe for some serious firepower in this pitch-perfect throwback accessed via gaming’s greatest secret code

Launched to rave critical reviews, the “enchanting” 8-bit-inspired Infernax was one of early 2022’s highest rated indie darlings, clocking a mid-80s Metacritic score across all platforms and 1,200+ “Very Positive” reviews on Steam. Infernax’s gory central quest stars the knight and Duke of the land Alcedor, who returns from a brutal battle to find his home overrun by ravenous beasts from the underworld. Armed with his trusty mace and a thirst for justice, Alcedor must shoulder the fate of his world as he bashes unholy forces into pixelated pulp, earns powerful abilities and upgrades, uncovers the secrets of his land, and shapes his legacy through moral conundrums. 

Infernax: Deux or Die follows 2022’s debut of The Stranger, Infernax’s previous free content update which added a playable character inspired by classic horror pop culture. The Stranger wields a distinct arsenal of their own, turning beasts into a bloody gore with a devastating shotgun and an arsenal of blunt objects – all while donning a retro hockey mask, of course.

Hunt down the latest updates on Infernax by visiting https://www.infernax.com/, grab the game on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/374190/Infernax/) and pretty much anywhere the sun shines upon. For more news from @berzerkstudio, they can be found on Twitter and TikTok.
