Cartel Tycoon Rises to Power on PC Today

Purchase Today to Receive Early Access Supporter Reward Featuring Three Cartel EmblemsSEATTLE — July 26, 2022 —Cartel Tycoon, the survival business simulator from developer Moon Moose and publisher tinyBuild, takes over PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG today. Drug lords can smuggle goods to PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One in 2023.

Build an empire from the ground and become the powerful drug lord in charge of an ever-growing cartel. Set up a supply chain of farms, labs, and research centers to efficiently manufacture the best products and recruit lieutenants to handle production, money flow–and laundering–and all other logistics while keeping the right government officials in your pocket and heat off the business. Explore the ins and outs of a fictional ‘80s narco trade-inspired country where staying on people’s good side and keeping rogue deputies in line are as important to a successful enterprise as a quality product.

Cartel Tycoon’s full release brings a new commodity, heroin, to expand business and bring in even more profits, but don’t forget to keep track of dirty money that might draw attention from the wrong government agents. Keep tabs on the competition with a reworked Enemy Gangs system that allows for more nuance, offering optional less violent ways to procure enemy territories, trade, and handle special missions.

The new Prison system provides kingpins with an alternative method of managing disobedient lieutenants while keeping their hands clean. Trade legal inventory with local populations for increased profits while Guerrillas maintain smuggling points loaded with firepower to defend operations. Complete quests to seize control of Special Buildings scattered across the map including an Airport to serve as a massive throughput, and a Military Base for secure production. Survival Mode presents a barbarous campaign while Sandbox Mode showcases endless customization for a never-ending run.

“Cartel Tycoon envisions the kingpin fantasy in full force while pushing the boundary of strategy and simulation games,” said Leonid Gorbachov, Creative Director. “After an exciting Early Access run, we are happy to introduce the full release with new content and more options for players to customize their experience.”

Cartel Tycoon is available for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG for USD $24.99 / €20.99 today. It supports English, Russian, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Turkish languages.

Rise and shine, Trove console players. A new day has dawned and your time to enter the Sundered Uplands has arrived.

Hamburg, July 26, 2022 – gamigo is announcing daylight has broken for console players of its popular voxel-based MMO, Trove. Starting today, Trovians playing on PlayStation and Xbox can begin exploring the “Sunrise” update, which includes the new Solarion class, along with a revamp of the Shadow Hunter class and an all-new season of Bomber Royale. 

The new Solarion class works as a servant of the Sun Goddess to smite enemies through a combination of their bow for long-range attacks and a pet phoenix that rushes in with fast and fierce melee attacks. This fired-up class uses their Phoenix Radiance passive ability to increase their attack rate and gain energy to summon a pet phoenix to aid in battle. When the phoenix is slain, a self-healing egg will spawn and explode once its max health is reached. And from the egg’s ashes, the Solarion’s phoenix will rise again to aid their master once more! 

The Sundered Lands is Trove’s newest biome that can be reached by players that have progressed to at least Uber-1 Adventure Worlds, but will primarily be found in Uber-7 Adventure Worlds. With its unique upper and lower levels, Trovians will soon discover a biome filled with many challenges as the Irradiant Sky Giants continue to build and expand land stolen from below, tipping the balance of power in their favor. 

Not to be upstaged by the Solarion and Sundered Lands, the Shadow Hunter class has been blessed with divine light from the Sky Realm’s Radiant Ruins with a new passive ability and their new Sacred Arrow Ultimate Ability, which unleashes a large arrow of pure energy dealing 300% damage every 0.5 seconds for 7.5 seconds, piercing through targets and blocks. Additional classes have also been rebalanced, such as the Boomeranger and Gunslinger. 

To round out today’s console patch, Season 3 of Bomber Royale is now available! Trovians can enjoy new maps, new bombs, new rewards, a new queue system, and new options for private matches.

Nintendo Switch players can expect this update to become available soon.

In 2024, players will have the opportunity to take on the role of elusive street graffiti artists. This chance will be offered by Street Artist Simulator, an open-world action game, a game for those who are creative and design their own graffiti or want to find unique locations and compete for street fame. The game will hit PC first, followed by PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch consoles.

Street Artist Simulator is a game developed by Shining Games studio of Poland. The publisher will be Games Box S.A., part of the Ultimate Games S.A. group.

Street Artist Simulator – Official Trailer:

Street Artist Simulator players take on the role of street artists creating unique graffiti. The fun is primarily about creating own graffiti, searching for unique spots and trying to remain elusive. The developers will also offer a number of additional activities that will add variety to the game.

“Above all this game is about giving a lot of freedom and opportunities to show creativity. The distinguishing feature of Street Artist Simulator will be a combination of creativity and fast and dynamic action. Players will find a pretty large city with different districts and a whole bunch of unique spots, which of course can be accessed, although not always in an easy or convenient way. To remain elusive, it may sometimes be necessary to hack the city’s infrastructure, or simply run away, where parkour skills will prove helpful, or even get into a fight, as a last resort” – says Tomasz Supeł, CEO of Games Box S.A.

As announced by the developers, Street Artist Simulator will also offer a whole range of additional activities. The player will have to get things such as food, drink and accommodation. To acquire the necessary funds, they may need to carry out paid assignments or demonstrate their hacking skills.

“The gameplay and painting mechanics, offering a lot of satisfaction, even when for those who in real life have nothing to do with making graffiti, is extremely important to us. The players will receive an extensive editor, where the only barrier will virtually be their imagination. Graphics will decorate our city, but we will also be able to, as it were, visit other players’ cities and paint over their graffiti in the heat of the rivalry to become a street art legend. A co-op mode will also be available, where players can together cover with graffiti some specific spots” – says Michał Szmygin, creator and head of Shining Games.

Street Artist Simulator – main features:

• the life of a street artist;
• creating own graffiti;
• urban parkour;
• many unique spots;
• street fame.

Street Artist Simulator is expected to be released for PCs (Steam) in 2024. The game is also tentatively scheduled for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch consoles.
