The Bees of APICO are Dancing With Excitement as the Colony Spreads to Nintendo Switch This July

Cross-Platform Play is Coming to APICO and Fans Can Purchase a Cushy Plush Beeatrice

Erie, Pennsylvania (June 8, 2022) — The worker bees have been hard at work! Today Whitethorn Games — publisher of cozy indie hits like Wytchwood, Lake, and Princess Farmer — and bee-veloper TNgineers are excited to announce their bee-loved beekeeping sim, APICO, is taking the hive to Nintendo Switch on July 7. Soon, budding beekeepers can explore Port APICO on the go, and with the addition of cross-platform play, aspiring apiarists can bring their Nintendo virtual bees to their friends’ farms on PC and other consoles with ease!

As well, the bee-utiful team at Makeship have teamed up with Whitethorn Games and TNgineers to create an adorable pollinating pal! Meet Beeatrice. Beeatrice is a lovely little plush bee that fans of APICO and bees absolutely must hive! Designed by TNgineers, Beeatrice is made with an Ultra-Soft Fleece exterior and stuffed with a fluffy Polypropylene cotton filling to ensure it keeps its shape for years to come. Each plush is numbered and tagged, making your limited edition plush even more special. Beeatrice is shipped with environmentally friendly materials and will arrive in a reusable drawstring bag.

Are you ready to provide a forever home to your very own Beeatrice? Pre-order your bumble-buddy at this link: https://shop.makeship.com/3yzp74O.  

Combining resource gathering, biology, and minigames with ideas from both real-life and fantasy beekeeping and gardening, APICO will teach players about the ins-and-outs of maintaining a healthy hive and the importance of our irreplaceable pollinating pals. The islands of APICO were once abuzz with different species of bees, and it’s up to players to rediscover lost species, cross-breed new ones, and repopulate each unique bee-ome. Progressing further into the game may also uncover some forgotten secrets — but that’s none of our beeswax.

About Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator

Listen up ya filthy animals you work for me now and I got a job for ya! You might be thinking it’s just an ordinary heist – get in, get out with the cash and hopefully stay in one piece. Well, I got a newsflash for ya, numbnuts – this ain’t no ordinary heist; the vault is on the upper levels, the security system uses lasers, the guards have shotguns, you’re gonna have to escape via helicopter, and to top it all off, you’re a bunch of mutant morons who barely know how to walk. But them’s the breaks, right? I want ya to get in there and put them new bodies I gave ya to good use and get me my money. This could be the start of something great, and if not, well, there are plenty more animals in the sewer.

Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator is a chaotic multiplayer heist game for 1-4 players. Take on the role of mutated animals following the orders of Tony, the criminal mastermind of the operation. Bumble through a series of heists starting with a convenience store and a bank, gradually unlocking more challenging robberies. 

Just don’t screw this up! 

Features

  • 1- 4 player Online CO-OP – A heist is easier with a well-organised crew who know what they are doing, but I’m sure the 4 of you numbnuts can handle it. And if you feel smart enough after graduating from big dumb bank robbing mutant college, you can even try your luck and take on the heists alone.  
  • Distinct and Challenging Heists – I got big plans! Do things right and you have a bright future ahead of ya. Robbing a store and a bank is child’s play; get that done and there are plenty of other targets like tombs, nuclear power plants, space… Y’know if it ain’t nailed down it’s asking to be taken!
  • Enemies and Hazards – No one said this was going to be easy! Armed guards and security personnel will try to stop you at every turn. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the have-a-go-heroes of this city may even throw some punches your way.
  • Abilities and Power-ups – You never know what you’ll find laying around that can help. I suggest roughing up some vending machines – those sodas pack a punch! They can get ya back on your feet, make you super tough, and some other cool tricks too. Also, remember you all got your own mutant animal powers too – so use them! If one of you goes down, help get them back on their feet. If you don’t get them up in time just flush ‘em down the toilet and I’ll fix them up in the lab.
  • Weapons and Tools – Be smart! If you come across an obstacle, use the grey matter between ya thick skulls to and pick up an axe or a drill, find the right tool for the job. But for the guards, a good old shotgun might be the answer! 
  • Loot-O-Matic – Use the cash you earn to pick up some useful items or some firepower from the Loot-O-Matic for your next job. Or, just pick what looks cool, what do I care? 

Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator will be published by Green Man Gaming Publishing and scheduled to launch for PC in autumn, 2022. Fans can play the demo during the Steam Next Fest starting 13th June. Wishlist the game on Steam now!

Work Hand-in-Hand with Nature with Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack

Includes five sought-after endangered species, a range of sustainable scenery pieces, and a new conservation-themed timed scenario

Cambridge, UK – 8 June 2022 Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) announced today a brand new expansion for the ultimate zoo simulation, Planet Zoo. Players can explore the crucial role zoos play in protecting animals and ecosystems with Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack, arriving on Steam on 21 June 2022 for a suggested retail price of £7.99 / $9.99 / €9.99.

Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack invites players to discover five unique endangered animals from across the globe, and explore how their zoos can help them thrive. Przewalski’s Horse, the last truly wild horse, with its stocky build, once again roams the dry grasslands of Mongolia thanks to reintroduction efforts. The critically endangered Amur Leopard, with its stunning cream-spotted coat, is the subject of innovative global breeding programmes. The vocal Siamang is most at home issuing its melodic call from high branches in increasingly fragmented Indonesian forests. The Scimitar-Horned Oryx, whose long horns are especially desired by hunters, is one of the most endangered species in the pack and is considered extinct in the wild. Finally, the Axolotl exhibit animal, a unique amphibian native to Mexico, whose aquatic habitat is under threat.

Along with the chance to care for and learn about these captivating new creatures, zookeepers can fully embrace the concept of a modern, self-sufficient zoo thanks to over 150 stunning new sustainability-inspired scenery pieces. From a vibrant backdrop of pollinator-friendly meadow flowers and versatile trees such as the Korean Pine, to sustainable maintenance props and environmentally friendly buildings, the pack contains everything avid builders need to create the authentic look of a bustling conservation-focused zoo.

Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack also includes a brand new timed scenario set against a breathtaking Mongolian-inspired backdrop. Budding conservationists must put their skills to the test as they work to protect endangered species against the clock. Time is of the essence, as Zookeepers are tasked with the rescue, rehabilitation and release of these animals, while also ensuring improved surroundings, guest education, renewable energy sources, and plant diversity remain paramount.

Of the upcoming Conservation Pack, Executive Producer Steve Wilkins said, “The team are honoured to be able to bring Planet Zoo players closer to some of the world’s most endangered animals, and to highlight the important role of zoos in animal protection and education. We hope that the educational value of the game can contribute to the wider message around conservation and habitat preservation.”

Alongside the pack, players will also enjoy a free base-game update, which brings with it a range of extras and improvements, including animal chorus behaviour for select species, interactive education stations, and a new climbing enrichment, from which zoo guests can observe the Siamang’s fascinating brachiation behaviour, and more.

Please note the Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack requires the Planet Zoo base game in order to download and play. Planet Zoo is available now on Steam with an RRP of £34.99 / $44.99 / €44.99, Planet Zoo: Deluxe Edition RRP for £42.99 / $54.99 / €54.99. Additionally, for those looking to discover the delights of Planet Zoo for the very first time, Planet Zoo: Ultimate Edition is the definitive version of the game, offering every piece of DLC ever made.

Your quest will take you across a deadly continent of dark crypts, demon-infested wilds, and demonic rifts in the fabric of the world itself. Watch out for traps, prepare for ambushes, and try your best to outsmart puzzles on your way to end Balor’s reign of terror. The fate of the world rests on your shoulders.

Features:

  • Thrilling 3D side-scrolling hack and slash gameplay
  • An atmospheric dark fantasy world to explore
  • Unique levels with a variety of NPCs and interesting tests of player skills and movement
  • A plethora of deadly weapons and powers to unlock, melee and magical
  • An army of monsters and demons to slay
  • A robust character upgrade system to craft the hunter of your choice

Pick up The Dark Heart of Balor on PC, Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch when it releases later this year.
