A castle appears through the mist…

Bordeaux, France (Jan. 18, 2023) – Deadly werewolves, haunted armors and food stuffed into the walls – oh my. The unprecedented collaborative crossover adventure Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania from Motion Twin and Evil Empire will be available for fans dreadfully soon across PC and consoles, but for now fans can sink their teeth into a fresh teaser trailer channeling the classic Castlevania games today for the anticipated DLC. Wishlist on Steam here https://store.steampowered.com/app/2101430/Dead_Cells_Return_to_Castlevania/

Today’s trailer sets the stage for what’s to come when Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania launches: glimpse the haunted hallways of Dracula’s castle and the other spooky areas you’ll explore, alongside formidable enemies fans know and love from Castlevania:

Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania is the biggest DLC for Dead Cells to date and a labor of love from Motion Twin and Evil Empire. With two new biomes to explore, 14 iconic weapons – including Castlevania favorites such as the Vampire Killer, Throwing Axe and Holy Water – and a host of incredibly undead, dead and mostly dead enemies to dispose of along the way. Each throwback weapon featured in the game has been tweaked to reflect the fast-paced, frantic style of combat of Dead Cells, but using them successfully won’t be a walk in the…dark. 

Featuring insanely tough battles with Dracula and even Death himself, the DLC unfolds an intriguing new storyline in which The Beheaded is approached by Richter Belmont following the appearance of a strange, malevolent castle. Drawn by the promise of new loot more so than an ethical sense of duty, players will need to harness their utmost undead fighting skills to defeat the evil within. An alternative soundtrack accompanies the fight, providing 51 original Castlevania tunes as well as 12 truly iconic tracks that have been reimagined in the style of Dead Cells. 

Announced last month at The Game Awards, this unparalleled collaboration sees Motion Twin and Evil Empire going back to their roots, paying tribute to the franchise that inspired the very beginnings of Dead Cells.

Rise a trusty lantern to illuminate miles of vibrant and enchanting passageways while clutching a well-seasoned ax generously gifted by a semi-hostile dwarf.

“Colossal Cave is a game with a long history, and as we got deeper into the project we realized that our Sierra heritage as well as the game’s history were a powerful combination,” says Ken Williams, Founder and CEO, Cygnus Entertainment. “When we began this project we received overwhelming support from every direction because of what this game ment to an entire generation. We’ve had the fortune to watch kids and adults alike enjoying the game just as we did all those years ago, and we can’t wait to bring it to all of our fans today!”

Take in the magnificent sights, culture and stirring melodies bringing this spring’s most heartfelt and charming adventure to life

LONDON (Jan. 19, 2023) – Developer Awaceb and publisher Kepler Interactive today begin a new gameplay series touring the delightful island world of Tchia, a tropical adventure inspired by Awaceb’s firsthand knowledge of the Pacific island of New Caledonia.

Join Game Director Phil Crifo for a dive into Tchia’s richly realized world in the gameplay series’ first featurette: 

The video ventures out with the young heroine, Tchia, for a glimpse at the game’s awe-inspiring fictional world, prime for exploration and curiosity. Tchia’s trip includes visits with lively and memorable locals as she takes a break from the sandy shores and cliff sides to chat, practice tunes with her ukelele and partake in her island’s traditions. Awaceb’s small, nine-person team draws inspiration for Tchia’s world from the childhood friendship of its co-founders, who grew up together in New Caledonia. Awaceb has used the co-founders’ love for their homeland as a guiding light while creating Tchia, building a comprehensive tribute to the island and its people reflected across the game’s iconography, cultural traditions, fauna, voicework and themes.

Tchia is an open-world sandbox that invites players to jump into the adventure of a lifetime. Players can explore the ocean depths or become one with nature, with the game’s unique soul-jumping mechanic allowing them to take control of over 30 animals and hundreds of objects, turning the environment into the ultimate tool.

Not everything is calm and relaxing however. The island Tchia calls home has been invaded by strange fabric creatures called the Maano, who, under the orders of the archipelago’s evil ruler, have abducted her father. Players will have to use everything at their disposal to take them out. In between the action, players can rest, take a break and jam with a fully playable ukulele.

Tchia is set to release in Spring 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. For more information, visit https://www.awaceb.com/tchia.

The update brings animal taming, dogs, a new survivor, and more to planet survival sim

Cambridge, UK – 17 January 2023. Frontier Foundry, the games label of Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV), and developer Haemimont Games announced today the second major content update for Stranded: Alien Dawn. The Tame and Train Update brings a range of new features to all players on Tuesday 24th January as part of ongoing development. Stranded: Alien Dawn is available to play in early access now on PC via Steam for a suggested retail price of £24.99/$29.99/€29.99.

Early access players can now take their survival strategies even further with the ability to tame, train, and breed a vibrant array of alien wildlife, as well as the introduction of three new dog species. By researching Animal Taming, survivors can unlock the ability to tame animals, but beware; some species may prove hostile if not pacified correctly. Survivors will then be able to name, heal, train, play, lead, and slaughter their animals, with players able to use the new ‘Ranch’ activity to control taming and training priorities.

Taming wildlife will prove fruitful for any base, with plenty of resulting resources, and some creatures even able to be trained for combat against threats. Keeping tamed animals happy and comfortable is crucial for success – ensuring they are fed daily and housed safely is vital. Survivors can also receive boosts to relaxation and happiness as they play and bond with tamed animals.

Alongside animal-taming mechanics, players can now select Hugo Delano, a new survivor, for their group as part of the update. Hugo’s colourful past as a zookeeper makes him a worthwhile addition, with his ability to train almost any creature and his adept farming skills sure to prove useful for survival.

The Tame and Train Update also introduces a range of additional resources, recipes, and animal statues, as well as five new Steam achievements, which survivors can gain by proving their animal husbandry skills.

Prospective survivalists can look forward to further updates and enhancements in the coming months, with plenty of exciting content on the horizon. Stranded: Alien Dawn is available now on PC via Steam for a suggested retail price of £24.99/$29.99/€29.99.

Players will meet several new students and visit a deserted island resort in the latest event story

Highlights:

• Pre-Registration for the “Business Trip! Momoyodou” event story will be available until Monday, Jan. 31, with several incentives for participating.
• Players can take a vacation in new event story “Abydos Resort Restoration Task Force” following the update on Tuesday, Jan. 31.
• Three new students, Wakamo (Swimsuit), Nonomi (Swimsuit) and Ayane (Swimsuit) arrive in the story.
• January – March update roadmap is revealed in the official community page.

SEOUL – Jan. 19, 2023 – Nexon’s Blue Archiveis gearing up for its upcoming event story “Business Trip! Momoyodou” with pre-registration open now until Jan. 30. Players who pre-register for the event by filling out a Beach Shack Employment contract on the Blue Archive official website can look forward to receiving several rewards including 1,200 Pyroxene following the update on Jan. 31.

Pre-Registration Rewards

The gifts for pre-registering go beyond the 1,200 Pyroxene, as players can also receive additional rewards depending on the number of participants. In addition to Pyroxene, players can receive 10 Advanced Tech Note Choice Tickets and 10 Advanced Tactical Training BD Choice Tickets. There’s even a chance to be one of 500,000 participants to receive 10 Free Recruitment Tickets.

Event-Story: Abydos Resort Restoration Task Force

Blue Archive fans can also play a new event-story, “Abydos Resort Restoration Task Force,” following the Jan. 31 update. This story may take place on vacation, but travelers will put relaxation aside as they face off against Wakamo and the Helmet Gang at a deserted island resort. That’s not all to look forward to, however, as New World Raid content “Allied Operation” will be introduced for the first time.

New Students

Along with the update comes three brand-new, unique students for players to meet:

• Wakamo (Swimsuit) – Wakamo may have been suspended from the Hyakkiyako Allied Academy, but that isn’t stopping her. She is a Piercing-type Striker whose EX Skill, “Caledon Flower Divination,” inflicts the Stun effect and deals damage proportional to her ATK. It deals damage to the enemy a total of six times and applies an additional Stun effect with the last attack.
• Nonomi (Swimsuit) – Hailing from Abydos Academy, Nonomi is an Explosive-type Striker who can deal damage proportional to her ATK to a single enemy. Her EX Skill, “Time to Cool Off!,” ignores the delays between normal attacks up to a certain number of times.
• Ayane (Swimsuit) – Players can also get the Piercing-type Special student Ayane (Swimsuit) through the event. Acting as Tactical Support, her EX Skill allows her to appear in battle mounted on a Water Cloud. On the Water Cloud, Wakamo can activate Missile Rain every 12 seconds to deal damage proportional to her ATK to a single enemy while ignoring a portion of their DEF.

Beach Shack Special

Nexon also is commemorating this update with a Beach Shack Special. A Ball minigame will be available to players until Feb. 5, and they can visit the minigame page and try to pick the right cup to win rewards, including 600 Pyroxene and 10 Advanced Tech Notes Choice Tickets.

Convenience Updates

There will also be various convenience updates, such as a feature to fix skills at the start of the battle, a Friend System, a skip feature for the Tactical Challenge content, and a Formation preset.

January – March Roadmap

The “Business Trip! Momoyodou” event story isn’t the only thing to get excited about, as Nexon unveiled the roadmap for Blue Archive updates through March. The second half of the main story, “Eden Treaty Vol. 3 Chapter 4: Kyrie of the Forgotten Gods,” and the event story “After-School Sweets Club: A Sweet Secret and Shootout” are forthcoming. Additionally, charming new students such as Hoshino (Swimsuit), Saori, and Kazusa will be introduced.
