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.

Join the Awaceb team on a journey through New Caledonia

LONDON (Dec. 8, 2022) – Fight those winter blues and dip your toes into the upcoming tropical adventure, Tchia. 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.

Williams Pinball: The Addams Family Table Trailer:

Pinball FX Console Trailer:

The Pinball Show:

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.

Become the director of your own Kung-Fu movie with new replay editor, new cheats and modifiers rolling out

PARIS (Dec. 8, 2022) – One of the year’s most successful games, Sifu, rolled out its anticipated Fall update today across PC, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch platforms bringing fans the ability to become the director of their own Kung-Fu movie with the addition of the replay editor, new cheats, modifiers, outfits and much more. 

Record your best moves with Sifu’s new replay editor, a complete set of recording tools that allows fans the ability to create cinematic replays from within the game. Place the camera wherever you want, change its parameters, set up camera movements, add effects, slow down or speed up the action and create your very own Kung Fu movie shots. These shots can then be used on any external editing software and pieced together to create a full-on cinematic masterpiece.

Also debuting in today’s Sifu update are four new cheats and three new modifiers allowing for new play styles, including Free Throw, which allows you to unconditionally throw your foes, age-decreasing perks with the Vampire modifier and a sweet new Touch of Death ability that immediately knocks enemies out if an attack lands correctly.. Additionally, we’ve added some long-awaited quality of life changes such as the option to carry your unlocked skills over from a previous save to a new one, as well as the ability to set your own camera distance during takedowns and bring the dynamic takedown camera close-ups back!  

And no update would be complete without the addition of new outfits: now you can roundhouse kick your way while looking fly with three unlockable outfits including a slick-looking Wing Chun outfit, available in dark and light versions. The tough-as-nails “Stunt Double” outfit is available only to Deluxe owners. 

Sifu launched on Feb. 8 of this year from developer and publisher Sloclap (Absolver) and is available today on PlayStation, Switch and on PC through the Epic Games Store for $39.99. Sifu unfolds a story of revenge and redemption set to a backdrop of a fictional Chinese city where players uncover an ancient mystery via a series of difficult confrontations that test their skills to the limit. To overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, fighters need to rely on a mastery of Kung Fu and a magical pendant that revives them after death. The cost of magic is dear, however, and drastically ages a fighter with each revival: time is the price paid for revenge. 

The game launched to globally positive reviews from international critics, and currently boasts several Game of the Year nominations across a variety of categories from respected media outlets around the world. 

Sifu tells a fictional tale of revenge in a fictional city, but the game’s authenticity shines through in its true-to-form combat and also in the level of detail Sloclap included in the game’s visually stunning environments. Sifu’s attention to detail provides players with an elevated sense of immersion as they traverse through a fictional city on their path to redemption. 

Sifu is available for $39.99 USD for the standard edition and $49.99 USD for the Deluxe Edition.

The Hamburg Dockyard return for World of Warships’ shipwrights to take on their next task: building the Tier IX Admiral Schröder. Once built, this cruiser is armed with as many as eight 305 mm guns placed in four main battery turrets. She is well suited for combat at medium and short ranges due to her quite solid durability and decent armour protection for the class. 

Players will need to work through 30 phases of building, completing combat missions or spending doubloons to progress. Along the way, players can also earn for free the Tier VII battleship Renown ’44, a new port slot and a 6-skill commander. 

Five dollars for five years!

Finally, there has never been a better time for new players to join the World of Warships armada on Steam. The leading MMO is offering an even easier method for new players a $5 USD Steam Wallet credit. New players who complete the “Amateur” achievement by winning 10 random battles before December 17, will see this credit added to their Steam Wallet within a week of completing the challenge. Update 0.11.11 also sees a fresh wave of map updates, bug fixes, and tutorials for new players added to the game. For a full overview of the update, click here

A Magnum Opus Seven Years in the Making

The magnum opus from solo developer Matthias Linda, Chained Echoes, a traditional, all-encompassing JRPG inspired by the classics of the SNES and PSX era, is finally finished after seven years of development. Gamers from all around the world can now engage in an outstanding JRPG fantasy that is full of exciting challenges and appeal.

Players will find themselves within the continent of Valandis, which, after centuries of war, is finally at peace. However, this world they are in is marked by possible conflict, and rumors that a weapon of mass destruction is an imminent danger. Peace is fragile, conflicts lasting for centuries just won’t disappear, and a new war could break loose anytime soon… Can a group of strangers restore peace? Can the weapon be destroyed?

Welcome to the Overdrive

Chained Echoes is action-packed, featuring magic, mechs, swords, boss fights, turn-based combat, a complex story and roughly 40 hours of content. Although Chained Echoes is a turn-based game, the Overdrive Combat System ensures that fights are fast-paced while still offering massive tactical depth. Creatively tune the skillset of your party and slay even the most vicious foes like a whirlwind!

In Chained Echoes, medieval fantasy meets modern steampunk, so get ready for both sword duels and mech fights! An incredible, carefully crafted world awaits, filled with otherworldly creatures plus multiple nations of humans and humanoid races brimming with individual lore and culture for players to dig into. In the wild, Valandis’ varied environments are a true paradise for adventurers, each with their own unique look and special challenges, menacing bosses and exciting secrets!

The game’s new trailer celebrates today’s release, showing once more what makes the title stand out: stunning pixel visuals, mecha fights, incredible boss monsters and tons of regions to explore.

The official soundtrack for Chained Echoes by Eddie Marianukroh includes 50 tracks and is available through Bandcamp and Steam.

Chained Echoes will also receive a physical release in summer 2023, now available for pre-order. Exclusively distributed by First Press Games, these premium physical editions are on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC DVD, with different variants in terms of included goodies and merch.
