Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands – Releasing on Steam on June 24 in Australia and New Zealand

Players can experience the chaos of the Wonderlands, debuting alongside all post-launch content like the brand new DLC: Molten Mirrors

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software announced that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands® is releasing at 3:00 a.m. AEST on June 24, 2022, on Steam, where it has consistently been one of the most wishlisted titles. Since launching on other platforms earlier this year, critics and fans around the world have been enamoured with the delightful chaos from Tiny Tina’s unpredictable mind. With crossplay between PlayStation®5 (PS5™), PlayStation®4 (PS4™), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, the Epic Games Store and now Steam, even more players can join in on the adventure together.

“Gearbox is all about one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences – with Wonderlands that meant creating a new take on a familiar genre,” said Randy Pitchford, founder of the Gearbox Entertainment Company. “Steam players are in for one heck of an adventure as they explore Tina’s off-the-walls imagination, and crossplay gives our fans even more ways to battle the Dragon Lord, no matter what platform they game on.”

For a limited time, Steam players will be able to pick up the game for a special Steam launch price*, and get the Golden Hero Armor Pack until July 7, 2022.**

On Steam, players will have the choice between the Standard Edition or the Chaotic Great Edition. The latter comes with the Dragon Lord Pack of bonus content, as well as the Season Pass, which includes an extra playable class being released in a future update, the Butt Stallion cosmetic pack, and all four Mirrors of Mystery DLCs.

Mirrors of Mystery DLCs provide new ways to hunt for loot and cosmetics on your way to defeating the Dragon Lord, with challenging new dungeons such as Coiled Captors, Glutton’s Gamble, and the brand new Molten Mirrors, releasing on June 24 on all platforms, including Steam.

In Molten Mirrors, players will battle Fyodor the Soul Warden, who lords over his horde of lost souls deep within his mountain stronghold. In order to break their chains, players need to defeat Fyodor’s murderous mechanized defences, including terror-powered turrets, blazing furnaces, and bone-crushing hammers, all while looting for new weapons, gear, and cosmetic items. Additional details about Molten Mirrors are available on the game’s official website.

For owners of the Chaotic Great Edition or Season Pass, the fourth Mirror of Mystery DLC releasing later this year will also feature a brand-new playable class called the Blightcaller.**** This shamanic elementalist channels spirits and summons storms to wear down foes with poison and elemental damage. As the seventh class to be introduced to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, the Blightcaller will bring even more player customization by further expanding the deep multiclass system in the game.

For more information about the game’s Steam release, check out the game’s official website. Note, players’ save data can be transferred between the Steam and Epic PC platforms but will need to be moved manually. By doing so, players run the risk of potentially losing save files, so we strongly recommend making a backup copy before attempting any manual transfers. Detailed instructions will be available on support.2k.com in time for the Steam release.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands previously launched on March 25, 2022, across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and the Epic Games Store.

Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder Unleashes Chaos with 1.0 Release on Consoles, PC this Summer

1.0 Version Debuts Plethora of Never Before Seen Content Simultaneously to PlayStation 5|4, Xbox One, Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — June 21, 2022 — Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder, the roguelike tactical auto-battler from developer Konfa Games and publisher tinyBuild where commanders build their squad of puny humans into a legion of wizards, ninjas, and dozens of other heroes while leading them through a strange post-apocalyptic labyrinth, exits Steam Early Access to 1.0 release on PlayStation 5|4, Xbox One, Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC this summer.

The nefarious d’Spot has spoken–Despot’s Game soon leaves Early Access to join the console and PC ranks with revamped mechanics, new quests, enemies, mutations, and an expanded soundtrack. Terrorizing the naked and memory-less humans as they try to escape an endless maze-like complex has never been so fun.

Equip the unarmed masses with one of 50 weapons ranging from conventional swords and guns to ridiculous apparatuses like stale pretzels throwers, magical rabbits-in-a-hat, and damage-soaking refrigerators. Make use of 10 human classes including throwers, mages, and cultists, building up their ranks and diversifying armaments to unlock power-ups that aid in battles.

Keep the ranks well-fed and deploy them strategically for a better chance at survival. While mages and shooters provide support with long-range attacks, fighters sporting Rocky’s iconic boxing gloves and tanks with protective periodic tables should take the front lines for hands-on combat and protection.

Stack mutations to strengthen forces, like invoking “Glory to Satan” to sacrifice a newcomer and summon an eldritch tentacle that deals massive damage to foes. Smash through 60 types of monsters with destructive abilities to survive these chaotic killing games. From man-eating cabbages and killer robots to necromancers joined by vicious giant skeletons ready to drop humans into black portals, many perils await.

Today, players can enjoy Despot’s Game for the first time on consoles via an Xbox demo featuring the first levels of the Early Access dungeons. Alongside the 1.0 release, the game also gains a new mode focused on an enhanced multiplayer experience.

“Over the past months, we really listened to our community to learn what would make Despot’s Game even greater,” said Nikolay Kuznetsov, Game Creator, Konfa Games. “From that came exciting revamped mechanics to better the player experience and a ton of new content that we are proud to release across all consoles and mobile. Now, there’s no more excuse to stay out of Despot’s Game’s chaotic madness!”

Despot’s Game: Dystopian Army Builder is available now on Steam Early Access for Windows PC for USD $14.99 / EUR €14.99. It supports English, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese languages.

Hell Pie Hooks Up with Electric Callboy for the Ultimate Metal Collaboration

Dueren, Germany – June 21st, 2022 – Headup and Sluggerfly are pleased to announce a collaboration with Electric Callboy, the award-winning metal band known for their hilarious tracks and music videos, for upcoming 3D platformer Hell Pie. Fusing Hell Pie and Electric Callboy’s shared love of all things metal, the collaboration will see four skins included in the game based on the band’s latest songs.

The skins will be based on the mullet-heavy Hypa Hypa, the head-pumping We Got The Moves, the gym-core extravaganza Pump It and the sci-fi-suited song that is Spaceman and will complementHell Pie’s offbeat and spectacularly funny flavour perfectly.

Hell Pie is an old-school-inspired, heavy metal infused 3D platformer that takes bad taste to the next level. You grab the horns of Nate, the ‘Demon of Bad Taste’, tasked with gathering the disgusting ingredients for Satan’s infamous birthday pie. Venture out into the overworld and do whatever it takes to ensure those ingredients are secured in time, or there’ll be hell to pay!

Luckily Nate isn’t alone on this quest, with his ‘pet’ angel Nugget ready and able to offer support. Nugget offers his holy insight when needed but, more importantly, is chained to Nate, so he can be used as a grappling hook or swung around as a weapon. Nate can also equip horns he finds across the world to give him new hellish abilities, from charging through enemies and boulders , to gliding through the air. Together, Nate and Nugget will explore wild environments, meet tons of unsavoury enemies and characters, and witness some truly shocking sights in the seriously twisted take on the classic mascot platformer.
