LOS ANGELES – June 21, 2023 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality mobile games, announces a new update for the mobile RPG Seven Knights 2. New content and experiences are now available for all players to enjoy, including a new Legendary+ Hero, costumes, and several limited-time events.

The new Legendary+ Hero, Apostle of the Abyss Nebiros, joins the fight in this update. Nebiros is a Universal hero with a Gothic appearance who reduces enemies’ Status Effect Resistance using his basic attacks, which makes him a great support unit to heroes who focus on inflicting statuses on their foes. He grants Unmovable Shield to allies and himself as a percentage of Max HP in the PVP Field. In addition, he deals damage to all enemies within a circular range around his target and deals extra damage based on the target’s current HP – all while ignoring the target’s armor. This makes him an excellent tank buster while also buffing his own party’s survivability.

As part of this update, Diana can be dressed in a new Gothic-style costume, Leah’s Look. Diana’s dark costume is a contrast to her usual light-themed aesthetic and should make her fit in a bit more with darker themed heroes like Nebiros.

Several new events[1]   are now available from June 21 through July 5, including:

• Month of 7K Eve Special Check-in Event: Players who check-in for 10 days can obtain many rewards including Rubies (x2,000), Legendary+ Hero Summon Voucher and more.
• Month of 7K Eve Shop: Alice’s Month of 7K Eve Coins are obtainable by playing in-game events. Players can exchange these coins for Essence of the Soul (x1,000), Mythic Weapon Selection Ticket, Legendary Pet Summon Voucher, Legendary+ Hero Selection Tickets and more.
• Month of 7K Eve Rune Party : Play the Upgrade Dungeon and Celestial Tower, as well as complete daily missions, to obtain additional rewards including Legendary Runes, Rare Runes and Gold.
• Special Mission Event celebrating Multi Raids Renewal: Participate in Raids or Daily Dungeons will provide the opportunity to receive a Light Crystal, Light Crystal Shards, and Crimson Essence among other rewards.

The official sequel to Seven Knights, a game enjoyed by 60 million players globally, Seven Knights 2 takes place 20 years after the original and introduces beautiful open world gameplay. The story centers on the Daybreak Mercenaries who embark on a journey to find the last member of the Seven Knights, “Rudy,” after a series of events involving a mysterious girl named Phiné. Stunning cinematics and graphics powered by Unreal Engine 4 will immerse players in this epic game story filled with unique characters and powerful bosses. Players can collect and develop their heroes and experience a new combat system with powerful ultimates and suppressors.

Seven Knights 2 is available now for download on Google Play, App Store and Windows PC (beta).

More information on Seven Knights 2 can be found on the official Facebook page, YouTube and forums or by visiting Netmarble’s Global YouTube channel.

Play as Seven Heroes with Unique Combat and Trade Skills in a World Without Words

London, U.K. — 21 June 2023 — Marvelous Europe in collaboration with Marvelous Inc. and XSEED Games, today announced Silent Hope, a new action RPG title, that will launch October 3rd on the Nintendo Switch™ system and PC via Steam.

Preorders will soon be available for the physical standard edition on Nintendo Switch through the Marvelous Europe website for a suggested retail price of €39.99/£34.99. The digital version will also be available for €39.99/£34.99 on the Nintendo eShop and via Steam.

In a world without words, what hope is there for humanity? Silent Hope takes place in a once-peaceful land, silenced by the former King who stole people’s speech before escaping into the endless chasm known as The Abyss. Following these events, the Princess mourned her father’s actions and wept until she was entombed by her own crystallized tears. Now, years after these events faded from memory, seven heroes find themselves drawn towards the Princess. To break her free from her luminous prison, they must brave the depths of The Abyss to find the long-lost King and reunite the royal family.

Silent Hope harkens back to the glory days of isometric dungeon-crawlers while infusing them with a modern approach. Players will take the role of seven unlikely heroes, each with their own unique weapons, fighting styles, and non-combat jobs. After diving into The Abyss to battle enemies and collect materials, the heroes return to Base Camp to craft, cook, and rest up for their next adventure. Each journey into The Abyss will be a fresh experience, with randomized layouts ensuring every excursion has the element of chance, with even greater dangers lurking the further the heroes dare to venture.

Key Features

Seven Heroes, Seven Unique Fighting Styles – Choose from a motley crew of characters like the well-rounded Wanderer, long-range specialist Archer, or heavy-hitting Warrior to find whose skills suit your playstyle, and embrace new roles and abilities as you gain more experience.

A Home at the Edge of the World – Find new recipes and materials and return to your Base Camp at the edge of The Abyss, where each character has a unique job. From alchemist to blacksmith to cook, each hero brings something different.

Engaging Exploration and Dungeon-Crawling – Experience a new layout each time you enter the enigmatic Abyss, keeping you on your toes every moment. Stay on the lookout for Memory Rifts, where greater rewards and challenges await.

A Vibrant Storybook Aesthetic – With its mournful princess, spellbound kingdom, and everyday heroes, it feels like a fairy tale come to life – right down to the mysteries waiting to be uncovered in the visually stunning underworld.

Silent Hope will be published by Marvelous Europe for Nintendo Switch in Europe and Australia on October 3rd, 2023. XSEED Games will be publishing the Nintendo Switch version in North America and the PC via Steam version worldwide. This title has been rated PEGI 12.

CHAOTIC COUCH CO-OP GETS A FUEL INJECTION WITH 4J STUDIOS’ MANIC MECHANICS

Manic Mechanics is the First Self-Published Game From 4J Studios, Best Known for Bringing Minecraft to a Worldwide Audience of Console Gamers

Dundee, June 21, 2023 – 4J Studios is excited to throw the covers off Manic Mechanics, an accelerated, mechanically-minded reinvention to chaotic couch co-op. Crashing onto Nintendo Switch on July 13, this high-octane party game with local and online co-op is the first game to be both developed and published by 4J Studios, the team that brought the gaming phenomenon Minecraft to consoles.

Manic Mechanics is available to pre-order on the Nintendo eShop here and the announcement trailer can be viewed here. 

In Manic Mechanics, up to four players pull on their overalls and head to the gear-obsessed Octane Isle, looking to make a name for themselves as travelling mechanics. Players challenge the Master Mechanics who rule the island to prove their crew is worthy of joining the mechanics guild.

The aim of the game is to fix as many cars (or trucks, choppers, tractors, mini-subs, UFOs…) as possible before time runs out. This may sound easy, but the faster the mechanics work, the more chaos is unleashed. Intricate mechanical processes are hindered by fuel spills, exploding tires, short-circuiting robots, stampeding cows and even alien abductions, with hilariously chaotic consequences.

“When we decided to take 4J to the next level by publishing our own games, our aim was to create ‘games for everyone’ – and I don’t think we could have found a better way to start that journey than with Manic Mechanics,” says 4J Studios’ Chairman, Chris van der Kuyl. “Manic Mechanics is great fun in single-player mode, but it really comes to life when you bring your friends and family into the chaos. It’s been a huge hit in the studio for the past few months and I’m excited that we’re now finally able to let other people join in the fun. We can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction to this fantastic start to 4J’s next chapter.”

With five different neighborhoods on Octane Isle to experience, this won’t be an easy ride. So, grab your toolbelt, round up your friends and see if you have what it takes to become Master Mechanics.

Musical minigames and pigeon pageantry showcased as gameplay for Glee-Cheese’s newest title is revealed at today’s Nintendo Direct.

Wednesday, 21^st June 2023– Team17 Digital and Glee-Cheese have today revealed a first look at the gameplay for rhythm-based battle royale game Headbangers Rhythm Royale during today’s Nintendo Direct. Bringing musical minigame madness to PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows Store on 31^st October, Headbangers Rhythm Royale places players into the perfectly preened plumage of a pigeon, finally answering the age-old question, ‘What is going on in their head?’

Naturally, the answer is music through a series of increasingly tense rounds of chaotic musical minigames, which test a player’s memory, rhythm, reflexes, reaction time, and (obviously) their ability to rap. Players will showcase their im-peck-able memory skills by copying the commanders’ instructions in Yes Commander; play the piano with a slingshot (yes really) in First Piano Shooter; be the first off the mark and into the solar system in To The Sky; and much, much more across 23 musically inspired minigames as they fight against up to 29 other avians to become the Master Headbanger.

Are you the Master Headbanger?:

Pigeons that flock together … also play games together, and with crossplay enabled multiplayer, no pigeon is too near (or too far) to join in on the Headbangers Rhythm Royale fun, regardless of their platform of choice. Before they can hit the dancefloor however, players will first prune and perfect their pigeon with a wardrobe bursting full of outfits, customisations, and taunts that can be purchased with delicious* breadcrumbs, which are earned by being crowned the top dog pigeon, the Master Headbanger.

*Please do not try and eat the digital breadcrumbs.

Headbangers Rhythm Royale Key Features

• Ruffle feathers: Memory, rhythm, reflexes, and reaction times will be put to the test across 23 minigames, each with their own unique musical twist
• Preen away: With hundreds of unique items to choose from, including full outfits, hats, glasses, voices, and taunts, players can take the top spot and fluff their feathers with their very own personalised pigeon
• Peck and earn breadcrumbs: Challenges and unlockable customisations await in the in-game battle pass, with players able to spend their hard-earned crumbs to help them be the most stylish pigeon in the flock
• Cross-flock support: Play with up to 29 other pigeons with crossplay enabled, friends and frenemies alike can battle in musical madness regardless their gaming platform of choice
• Talon tapping music: With unique scores across each minigame, loading screen, and pigeon accessory menu, the party never stops with the bespoke scores written and created by the Glee-Cheese team.
