Play as the flour golem Loaf, the hero the world kneads

Montreal, Canada, December 15th, 2022 – Hey Buddies! Fresh out the oven, we’ve received word that indie developer WildArts has partnered with Dear Villagers on its upcoming RPG Born of Bread. Coming to PC in Summer 2023, Born of Bread is a home-cooked retro throwback to classic cartoony RPGs full of fun characters and charming stories for children and adults alike.

To bake Born of Bread, you’ll need the following ingredients: 

• One flour golem who possesses a never-ending childlike wonder and a set of odd abilities 
• A wonderful world ripe with mysteries
• An eclectic cast of fleshed-out characters
• A wacky storyline
• A pinch of light puzzles
• Turn-based battles with a dash of real-time minigames
• Bright, colorful 2.5D graphics
• Side-missions (add to taste)
• A captive audience granting you bonuses in battle

To start with, you’ll want your flour golem, Loaf. Put him in a mystical land where he can mingle with his friends and local folk. Although he may not look like much, Loaf might be the hero this land kneads!

Stir in a story of beings from another age causing havoc across the land. And with their mischief comes a great threat to everyone!

Mold an eclectic cast of endearing characters, 2.5D illustrated setting, environmental puzzles, and unique turn-based /real-time hybrid battles. Be sure you know what your enemy is weak or resistant against, as it will take brains and reflexes to thwart Born of Bread’s throngs of foes.

Ensure that each battle in Born of Bread is live-streamed.​ If the player’s actions entertain the audience enough, they’ll be rewarded with bonuses. Additionally, permanent viewers can offer further objectives to complete for even more rewards.

Piece of cake! Now leave in the oven until Summer 2023, and the result should look like this:

“Born of Bread is a love letter to family friendly RPGs of yore,” said WildArts Lead Designer and Programmer Nicolas Lamarche. “Inspired by titles like Paper Mario and Undertale, Born of Bread creates an enchanting world of endearing characters, whimsical storylines, and clever combat mechanics to make for a rousing nostalgia-tinged adventure. We wanted Born of Bread to tackle heavy topics, such as character growth and the meaning of kinship, while remaining consistently joyful and funny.”

“They don’t make ‘em like they used to when it comes to innocent, endearing RPGs. At least that’s what I thought before I saw Born of Bread,” said Guillaume Jamet, Head of Publishing for Dear Villagers. “From the first time we saw it we knew WildArts was onto something here, creating such an appealing art style and story. When we saw it had the gameplay chops to support that we were instantly hooked!”

The smash-hit sandbox heist game continues to grow with five new heists and a new location, free for all players

MALMÖ, Sweden – Dec. 15, 2022 – Tuxedo Labs has released the new “Art Vandals” campaign expansion for Teardown, the voxel-based sandbox heist game on Steam. This major content update launches today with five new heist missions and a new location, free for all Teardown players.

In “Art Vandals,” players take on the role of Freya Woo – the daughter of Gordon Woo, who features in the original Teardown campaign. You’ll visit the picturesque fishing town of Tilläggaryd and its modern art museum with new missions focused on getting revenge against artist Kerstin Stråbäck. Steal her awards, escape with her art and destroy what you need to, all while using powerful new tools like the Paperboy Gun and Jackhammer.

“Art Vandals” is available through the all-new Expansions section in the Play menu, as well as through the in-game mod menu to help introduce players to Teardown’s powerful modding systems. Anyone can begin “Art Vandals” without playing the original story, but this challenging campaign is best undertaken by Teardown veterans with a bit of heisting experience under their belts.

Plan the perfect heists with realistic physics in the fully destructible, voxel-simulated world of Teardown! Use a range of tools to manipulate environments to your advantage in the most creative ways you can imagine: bring down walls with vehicles, create shortcuts with explosives, stack objects to reach higher places and much more. Run, jump, drive and slingshot in a full story campaign featuring 40 missions, test your skills in experimental challenges, create your own no-pressure experiences with unlimited resources in Sandbox mode, and discover unique designs from the community with Steam Workshop mod support. Just don’t get caught!

Resident Evil Village VR Mode Launches with PlayStation VR2 on Feb. 22, 2023 as Free DLC

London (December 15, 2022) Enter the world of survival horror once again with the Resident Evil™ Village VR Mode. This immersive new mode will be available alongside the launch of PlayStation®VR2 on Feb. 22, 2023 as free DLC for all PlayStation®5 owners of either Resident Evil Village or Resident Evil™ Village Gold Edition.

The VR Mode supports the entire campaign and lifts the award-winning experience to new heights. A deeper and more captivating adventure awaits with PlayStation VR2, as Ethan Winters’ journey takes full advantage of the headset’s advanced features. VR Mode utilizes the 4K HDR display, eye tracking, and 3D audio to make Resident Evil Village more realistic and intense than ever. Soak in the village’s richly detailed atmosphere in virtual reality, including the ornate chambers of Castle Dimitrescu, and prepare to feel truly dwarfed by the larger-than-life characters and creatures that lurk within.

Beyond stepping into the world of Resident Evil Village with the PlayStation VR2 headset, players will get to grips with their surroundings in new ways with the PlayStation VR2 Sense™ controllers. These represent Ethan’s famously resilient hands and allow intuitive actions to be performed in-game. Players can hold up their arms to guard against enemies that get too close for comfort.

Formerly Titled The Tower -To the Bottom-; physical edition announced

TOKYO – Dec. 15, 2022 – Arcana of Paradise -The Tower-, the real-time roguelike deckbuilding adventure developed by Tasto Alpha and published by SHUEISHA GAMES, draws a game-changing hand with a new name (previously christened The Tower -To the Bottom-), a new release date set for Thursday, April 20, 2023, on Steam for PC and Nintendo Switch, as well as a Japan-Asia exclusive physical edition and collector’s edition now available for pre-order.

Developer Tasto Alpha, featuring Lollipop Chainsaw director Tom Ikeda, worked with SHUEISHA GAMES on the name change to help increase visibility and properly represent the tarot elements. Additionally, the creators will beef up the launch content with Ranked Leader Boards, which will be available at release. 

Embark on a topsy-turvy tarot-inspired journey featuring character design by Masaoki Shindo, the artist behind the hit manga in Weekly Shonen Jump, RuriDragon. Guide a group of brave children trapped atop the tower as they make the perilous journey to the bottom in search of sustenance. Featuring a total of 20 playable children, each with their own starting cards, stacking the deck in their favor. In each run, players will be able to form a party of two to delve into the Tower.

Choose wisely, as real-time battles call for split-second decisions. Execute attack cards with haste to string together powerful combos, and play defensive cards at the perfect moment to put enemies in a daze. Re-deal new cards instantly if dealt a lousy hand, and watch for cards that can flip with surprising positive and negative effects. Pick from hundreds of possible pairings, as each child earns new traits and upgrades after every successful run.

Fight for survival against the tower’s inhabitants that grow in peculiarity after every descent, and collect new battle cards after each skirmish. The spoils of victory create a conundrum – will the heroes reward fellow tower mates with nourishing loaves of bread or build out the deck on this run to aid the arduous trek into the belly of the beast?

“Pushing the release date was necessary to ensure that Arcana of Paradise -The Tower- lives up to the expectations of our fans and partners,” says Masami Yamamoto, Executive Officer, and Executive Producer at SHUEISHA GAMES. “Tasto Alpha, and we know this will make for a better game, and we look forward to everyone’s journey to the bottom of the tower beginning this April.” 

Arcana of Paradise -The Tower- releases on Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC on Thursday, April 20, 2023, for $19.99 with support for English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese text. A demo is now available in English and Japanese on Steam.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Dec. 15, 2022 – Broken Lines, the narrative-driven tactical RPG set in the darkest hours of WWII from developer PortaPlay and publisher Blowfish Studios, escapes enemy territory and seeks salvation on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One today.

Watch the brand-new trailer right here.

Crash-land behind enemy lines in an alternate-history World War II and lead a small, rag-tag squad of soldiers through a perilous and mysterious land. In these trying times, each serviceman has their own set of morals and ideals that are challenged while experiencing the war. Keep the band of brothers together as they progress across hostile territory in search of rescue or escape.

Sneak past platoons of opposing troops or engage in firefights against combative foes. Decisions made in battle impact the story’s non-linear plot and lead the band of misfits down an array of treacherous paths. Strategically guide troops into optimal positions to gain tactical superiority in grid-less, turn-based combat. 

Plan each turn by giving move orders, scout advantageous locations, use cover, revive fallen soldiers and manually aim special weapons, then watch as the plan plays out in real time. Utilize abilities and distinct character skills, like suppressive fire or aimed penetrating shots for higher accuracy and damage, all while keeping spirits, morale and health high.

Explore painterly landscapes inspired by the rural Romanian countryside, capitalizing on the bevy of creative opportunities the terrain allows. March through thick, atmospheric fog, invading the space of abandoned factories, haunting cemeteries, and hostile military camps across eastern Europe. Collect precious loot to replenish resources and buy weapons, and attempt escape with minimal casualties, all set to a regionally-inspired atmospheric soundtrack.

“We are passionate gamers who aim to raise the bar in regard to mature themes and topics in our favorite medium, and Broken Lines embodies this spirit perfectly,” said Hans von Knut Skovfoged, Creative Director, PortaPlay. “Expanding to Xbox and PlayStation allows us to broaden our reach to new audiences so they can experience our distinct take on the beloved strategy genre.”

Broken Lines is available for $14.99 USD/€ 12,99. It supports English, French, German, Russian, Spanish – Spain, Polish, Korean and Simplified Chinese.
