Brainwash Gang fuels fast-paced and chaotic PvP battles with the perfect balance between FPS and deck builder

STOCKHOLM – Aug. 23, 2022 – Birds of a feather… fight together! Developer Brainwash Gang and Raw Fury are teaming up once again to bring you the ultimate deck-building FPS, Friends vs Friends, revealed today at Opening Night Live!

The world premiere showed the very first glimpse of the game, in which players choose from a roster of animal avatars, create a custom deck of weapons and abilities, and hop into one of many cartoon maps for the speediest, silliest fight of their life. Whether they enter the ring solo for a rapidfire 1v1 or double the fun with a 2v2, each player will encounter a mess of joyous mayhem.

About the Game

Friends vs Friends is an online PvP shooter that combines combat and deck building. Choose a character, build your deck with crazy cards and remember – you’re always just a friend away from a good time!

Play 1v1 or 2v2 in online, fast-paced, chaotic combat. Level up, get new cards, improve the ones you already have, and unlock new characters with their own unique skill. Powers, weapons, and debuffs are all played from your card deck. Become a titan, invoke a friendly turret, leach health with vampire bullets and make them have a big freaking head.

Key Features

• “Quick Match” Redefined: Play with your friends or join online matching; either way, every battle will keep you on your toes until the outrageous end.
• Perfect Your Deck: Unlock and upgrade cards to tweak your deck between matches to fit your playstyle (and win your way up the leaderboard).
• Choose Your Challenger: Play one of 10 characters, each with a unique ability to bring to battle… and they look cool!
• Practice, Practice, Practice: Try practice mode to get the lay of the land, or play against AI to train up your skills.
• Play Your Cards Right: Adapt quickly to the cards in hand, the environment underfoot, and the opponent across the screen, even as post-launch content throws new characters, cards, maps, and events your way.

Friends vs Friends is available to wishlist on Steam now. The first demos will be available to Gamescom attendees this week, as well as at PAX West next weekend!

MOUNT & BLADE II: BANNERLORD WILL RELEASE ON PC & CONSOLES OCTOBER 25, 2022

TaleWorlds Entertainment announced today that their acclaimed action RPG will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox One X and Xbox One S

TaleWorlds Entertainment announced today at Gamescom 2022 that their acclaimed action-RPG, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, will be released on PlayStation (PS4 and PS5) and Xbox consoles (Xbox One and Series S&X) on October 25^th, 2022.

Developed as a multi-platform game since day one, the console version of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will have the same gameplay features as the PC version. The game will be available to pre-order from today.

The currently available PC Early Access will also move on to full release, along with the console launch at the same date. But don’t fret – While this marks an important milestone for the game, it is not the end of the road for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, which will continue receiving updates in the months to come. 

“These two years have been a long and challenging road”, said Armagan Yavuz, CEO of TaleWorlds Entertainment, in a statement today.

“Developing a massive and complex game such as Bannerlord, for several platforms, and in the middle of a pandemic, is no easy task – and I’m incredibly proud of our team for its relentless, brilliant work. Despite the challenges, it’s also been a rewarding path: we’ve found many synergies that we weren’t initially expecting between consoles and PC, synergies that have made the game grow and be better than it would have been in other circumstances. We’re looking forward to putting the game in the hands of our amazing community, which has been supporting us in consoles since Warband.”

ABOUT MOUNT & BLADE II: BANNERLORD

Bannerlord is the sequel to the acclaimed Mount & Blade: Warband, one of the most successful and influential RPGs of our time. Mount & Blade has been universally praised for its deep gameplay, which combines action, RPG, and strategy in a sandbox world where players create their own story in the fictitious continent of Calradia.

This follow-up, prequel to Warband, takes place 200 years before the Calradia we know from previous games. The Calradian Empire is on the verge of collapse, engulfed in civil war, and rising new powers are trying to take over the remnants and establish their own hegemony over the continent. In front of them, other factions try to take advantage of the chaotic situation to gain power.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord was released on Early Access in March 2020 to great success, and since then has received dozens of content updates, growing to an even bigger and more ambitious game. As the full release version of the game approaches, Bannerlord finally shows its anticipated console version at Gamescom for the first time.

TaleWorlds Entertainment is an independent video game development company, founded in 2005. Having grown from the initial two founders, TaleWorlds now employs over 120 developers, including a self-publishing team.
