From the developers of the award-winning Arise: A Simple Story, explore a surrealistic, post-human world to give life on Earth a second chance

December 9, 2022 – Private Division and Piccolo Studio announced After Us during The Game Awards. This riveting exploration adventure game will launch in Spring 2023 for PC on Steam, and on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Play as Gaia, the Spirit of Life, to bring hope to a broken planet in a surrealistic, post-human journey. Traverse stunning environments to save the souls of extinct animals and harness Gaia’s powers to fight the dangers that plague an inhospitable Earth. 

After Us features Piccolo Studio’s signature style of delivering impactful storytelling and combines it with compelling exploration and adventure. Gaia must jump, glide, dash, wallride, and swim to evade deadly obstacles and enemies. As the embodiment of life, she has the power to help restore and reconstitute the planet. By emitting bursts of light, Gaia sparks new plant growth revealing new paths for traversal.

“After Us is a game about legacy and hope,” said Alexis Corominas, Game Director at Piccolo Studio. “We set out to craft a powerful game experience that blends poignant narrative with creative game design and unique mechanics. We look forward to seeing everyone’s reactions to the game when it releases next Spring.”  

After Us prominently displays a fantastic world wrought by the destructive actions of an unbridled society, experienced by the player across ten different biomes. Players learn the final fates of various majestic creatures, such as the last whale harpooned, the final eagle caged, or the last deer hunted down, before resurrecting their spirits to return life to the world. Each new environment presents new challenges for Gaia and tells the stories of these animal’s final moments before their climactic moment of rebirth.

“A core pillar of Private Division is empowering studios to achieve their creative vision, and it’s exciting to see Piccolo Studio build upon their previous success with Arise, in this new and ambitious game,” said Michael Worosz, Chief Strategy Officer, Take-Two Interactive, and Head of Private Division. “After Us beautifully blends an artistic, abstract world, thrilling gameplay, and a powerful, universal narrative into an unforgettable experience that we are proud to publish from Private Division.”

After Us is planned to release for PC on Steam, and on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in Spring 2023 during Take-Two’s Fiscal Year 2024 for AU $44.95. After Us is not yet rated by the ESRB.

Motion Twin & Evil Empire Pay Tribute to KONAMI’s Historic Franchise in New Dead Cells x Castlevania Crossover DLC, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, Coming Early 2023

Castlevania is back, baby! The inspiration that started it all comes to Dead Cells in the game’s most ambitious expansion to date

Bordeaux, France (Dec. 8, 2022) – Just revealed on The Game Awards, fans are invited to embark on an incredible and unprecedented collaborative crossover adventure between Dead Cells and Castlevania in an epic brand-new mashup DLC for the genre-defining roguelike. Honoring the franchise that inspired the very beginnings of Dead Cells, players will be able to explore Dracula’s castle (and more) along with all of its delightful evil within. Joined by Castlevania’s Richter Belmont and Alucard and chock full of incredible and surprising new crossover content, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania is the biggest DLC for Dead Cells to date, launching early next year on PC and Consoles.

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.

Ben Laulan, co-founder of Evil Empire and COO said, “Like so many millions of players around the world, we are huge fans of Castlevania and remember vividly what playing it for the first time felt like. It opened up a world of possibilities and potential for so many games to come, including Dead Cells. The original inspiration – the roots of Dead Cells – was born from a shared passion for the Castlevania franchise. We are so excited to bring this DLC to fans of Dead Cells and Castlevania early next year. It means so much to us to be bringing this to fans of both franchises.” 

The coming DLC unfolds a 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. Packed with new loot, creative-but-deadly new weapons, loads of enemies begging for a stake through the heart and more, this is the largest and most ambitious DLC for Dead Cells yet. 

Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania introduces a jaw-dropping 14 iconic weapons and items from one of gaming’s most venerable franchises to assist you in your undead-slaying needs in Dead Cells, including Castlevania favorites the Vampire Killer, the Cross and, of course, the Holy Water. Tweaked from original renditions in the Castlevania franchise, the Dead Cells versions of these weapons will reflect the fast-paced, frantic style of combat that players have come to love, hate and love to hate.

The real piece de resistance in the upcoming Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania are two entirely new biomes, one of them being the iconic Dracula’s Castle. Packed with deadly werewolves, haunted armors and food stuffed into the walls, players will attempt to defeat terrifying and dangerous creatures that comprise Dracula’s army and bop along to an alternative soundtrack of 51 original Castlevania tunes, as well as 12 truly iconic tracks that have been reimagined in the style of Dead Cells. 

But uncovering the secrets of Dracula’s castle and yet-to-be-revealed biomes won’t be a walk in the park. Three epic boss fights await in the haunted corridors of the estate, including battles with Death and Dracula himself. If these battles can be survived, you’ll need to prepare yourself for Dead Cells’ most epic and ambitious boss battle yet. 

With skill, luck, hard work and a determination for extinguishing the undead, you may just be able to survive the night. Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania launches early next year and stay tuned for more reveals in early 2023 for this incredible crossover.

Ensure no NPC has a silent night with free festive items arriving in Goat Simulator 3

Embrace caprine chaos this holiday season. Deck the halls with a Lights Machine Gun, wrap NPC’s into presents, start snowball fights and more!

Sydney, Australia: December 9^th, 2022 – Coffee Stain North, Coffee Stain Publishing and PLAION are pleased to share poetic season’s greetings as they release their first content update for Goat Simulator 3, AKA “The Mandatory Holiday Update”.

Launched last month on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation and PC (exclusively on Epic), players can now take to the streets of San Angora with nine new items designed to forcibly spread some holiday ‘cheer’.

Watch the latest trailer here

Revealing the new items, arriving in-game today, Santiago Ferrero, Creative Director at Coffee Stain North said:

“‘Twas the night before Christmas (or actually a couple weeks prior) and the state of San Angora was a little bit dire. The city was in ruins, the peace had been shaken – all by some goats with chaotic determination.

“In town the four goats stood when all of a sudden, ridiculously festive things started to happen. Upon one’s back a sleigh with sacks magically appeared, turning props and people into presents – how weird!

“Out of the sky and just like that, snow started falling on one goat as they put on a red Santa hat.  Equipped with a cannon which shot Christmas lights a-twinkling, each building, tree and hall were decked with wires a-blinking.

“A goat disguised as an elf from head to hoof, threw snowballs which turned into snowmen on each and every roof. Wearing Christmas jumpers, Swedish crowns and even a Menorah on their head, the festive foursome were ready to paint the town red.

“Continuing their mayhem the goats took to the road, the people could only hope they wouldn’t visit their abode. With flying snowballs, presents and buildings glistening with light, thanks to the goats of San Angora there would be no silent night.”

For those looking for a non-lyrical (aka Baa-h Humbug) lowdown of what’s coming to Goat Simulator 3, players can look forward to getting their hooves on: 

• Santa Hat – Create your own personal flurry. A passive ability which makes snow fall only around the player.
• Elf Hat – Give goats the power to throw snowballs! Build snowmen by throwing multiple snowballs on the ground.
• Elf Tunic and Elf shoes – Complete the look of Santa’s bestest helper.
• Sack & Sleigh – Launch festive paper to wrap props and NPCs into presents.
• Lights Machine Gun – Deck the halls by placing Christmas lights (almost) anywhere.
• Lucia Crown – Celebrate the holiday season the Swedish way!
• Christmas Sweater – Because even goats need at least one ugly Christmas jumper.
• Menorah Horns – Happy Hanukkah!

For more information on all things Goat, head to the official Goat Simulator 3 website.

Goat Simulator 3 is available right now on PC via the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

In the first of a development-focused mini-series, follow the game’s creators as they explore New Caledonia and uncover the real-world inspirations that helped shape the game’s vibrant world.

Founded by two childhood friends from New Caledonia, Awaceb is a small, 9-person Montreal-based studio creating a big adventure. Tchia takes inspiration from all aspects of New Caledonian culture, from folklore and traditions to landscapes filled with recreations of iconic landmarks, biomes and local fauna. Though set in a fantastical world, Tchia is a true love letter to the team’s hometown with a unique soundtrack and cast of characters brought to life by local talent. 

Check out the part one of the series, Our Journey, here:

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 in Tchia. The island Tchia, the game’s heroine, 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.

In February 2023, newly added Williams classic The Addams Family joins a killer lineup of more than 70 tables and amazing new features from the world’s foremost developer of digital pinball, as Pinball FX enters full release on Epic Games Store as well

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Dec. 8, 2022 – Now celebrating 15 years as the worldwide leader in videogame pinball, Zen Studios has announced that its all-new Pinball FX will debut on consoles in February 2023, complete with advanced features and more than 70 tables at launch – including the Pinball FX series’ digital debut of the bestselling physical table of all time, Williams™ Pinball: The Addams Family. This console release includes Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, with Nintendo Switch coming later in 2023. Also in February, Pinball FX graduates from early access to full release on the Epic Games Store, where player feedback has helped Zen refine its new long-term digital pinball platform since March.

Zen also announced it will continue to bolster the early access library with the December 15 releases of Peanuts Snoopy Pinball and the DreamWorks Animated Pinball Collection (Trolls, How to Train Your Dragon and Kung-Fu Panda) for the Epic Games Store.

Pinball FX evolves the world’s leading digital pinball brand with stellar original tables as well as many based on entertainment’s biggest brands, allowing players to customize their own 3D dream game room – the Pin Hall – full of collectibles and rewards unlocked by playing the game. Pinball simulation is now powered by Unreal Engine and features Pro Physics, 4K HDR visuals, and ray tracing. In the months and years following Pinball FX’s initial release, players can expect exciting new features – most notably Pinball Royale, a frantically exciting multiplayer action mode incorporating battle royale-style gameplay.

Meanwhile, The Addams Family introduces the 1992 bestselling physical pinball machine ever released to the Pinball FX family for the first time ever. Like all other Williams tables brought home thanks to Zen, this includes both a perfect simulation and – switchable at the touch of a button – an enhanced version complete with 3D character models and dazzling visual effects only possible in a video game.

Early access at the Epic Games Store has influenced Pinball FX in several ways, including these notable changes that will take effect across all platforms with the console launch in February: 

• Tables will be purchased in multi-table packs from first-party stores rather than through the purchase of individual tables using in-game currency, as has been used throughout early access. Pinball Pass – which enables unlimited access to almost every table via monthly subscription – will continue to use the in-game currency system.
• Major Pinball FX game features including Tournaments, Seasonal Events, Pro Mode, Friends Score Chase and Leaderboards will be cross-platform enabled.
• Pinball Pass is going cross-commerce! Access your Pinball Pass subscription on any platform that supports Pinball Pass.

Pinball FX New Content Release Details:

• Williams™ Pinball: The Addams Family will be released for Pinball FX on Xbox, PlayStation and the Epic Game Store in February 2023 for $9.99, and free to download for Pinball Pass subscribers.
• DreamWorks Animated Pinball Collection featuring Trolls, How to Train Your Dragon, and Kung-Fu Panda will release for Pinball FX early access on Dec. 15, 2022, for $14.99, and free to download for Pinball Pass subscribers. These tables are currently available in Zen Pinball Party on Apple Arcade.
• Peanuts Snoopy Pinball will release for Pinball FX early access on Dec. 15, 2022, for 60 in-game tickets, and free to download for Pinball Pass subscribers. This table is currently available for Zen Pinball Party on Apple Arcade.
