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.

Cédric Lagarrigue, founder of the publisher Focus Home Interactive, which he managed for twenty years: “I have had the good fortune in my career to discover and support studios and their games which, despite their limited budgets, became great hits. Darwin’s Paradox has the ingredients that falls into this category. The excellent playable prototype and the positioning of the studio convinced me to invest in the project and accompany the team in this exciting adventure”

Fundraising was carried out to allow the young studio to benefit from the financial base needed for the pre-production and production phases, for the launch of Darwin’s Paradox. This fundraising brought together the four partners, business angels from the Entertainment, Videogame and Finance industries as well as Bpifrance, the French Sovereign Fund.

Cambridge, UK – June 7, 2022  Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, ‘Frontier’) announced today that their officially licensed Formula 1® management simulation, F1® Manager 2022, will launch on August 30 across PC, PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One. Stepping into the role of Team Principal, one of the highest-pressure roles in motorsport, players will lead their chosen team to glory in the 2022 FIA Formula One World Championship™ and beyond.

From today, players can receive 10% off the suggested retail price and take their place on the pit wall a whole five days early on August 25*, alongside the FORMULA 1 ROLEX BELGIAN GRAND PRIX 2022 weekend.

F1® fans can now grab a first look at actual in-game footage from F1® Manager 2022 through our gameplay trailer, just released.

WATCH THE GAMEPLAY TRAILER HERE

F1® Manager 2022 offers fans an unrivalled F1® experience, capturing in unprecedented detail the world of F1® and the high-octane excitement of running a team. From the paddock to the podium, players will need to manage decisions on and off the track to ensure their success, all while balancing the books and satisfying both the board and the all-important team sponsors. The team headquarters are the beating heart of any constructor, and in F1® Manager 2022 it’s no different. Aspiring Team Principals will control every aspect of their team from their state-of-the-art HQ. From scouting and investing in best-in-class staff, such as Race Engineers and the Head of Aerodynamics, to developing and assessing new car components, players will need to keep their finger on the pulse to ensure they stay ahead of the competition, both now, and for future seasons to come.

With a full roster of world-class drivers from across F1®, F2™ and F3™ to choose from, between seasons players will have the option to enlist new drivers and assemble their dream team from an authentic pool of current and future stars. Realistically replicated, each driver from the 2022 F1® line-up has been digitally captured to accurately reflect them and their driving style when out on the track. The skill, temperament and athleticism of a driver is essential to any race team. These attributes are reflected by key performance ratings, providing players with vital information on how to effectively manage their drivers during a race. Just like the real world of racing, over time drivers will retire from the sport, so it’s crucial players think ahead to ensure they’ve got a steady stream of upcoming talent in development if they want to secure their long-term motorsport legacy.

Prior to each race weekend, Team Principals will select their allocation of tyres and spare parts, as well as optional objectives from sponsors to bolster their financial position. In practice sessions, drivers will build up their track and car familiarity, reporting feedback to guide car setup ahead of the all-important qualifying session, where it will be in the hands of the player to decide when to send out their cars and maximise their grid position.

Races are shown in impressive broadcast-style visuals, with a variety of on-board and trackside camera angles bringing the action to life across all twenty two 2022 Grand Prix™ circuits. Keen eared fans might also notice the familiar tones of David Croft, Lead F1® Commentator at Sky Sports, and fellow commentator and former Formula 1® driver, Karun Chandhok, both of whom lend their iconic voices to the game. From lights out to the chequered flag, players can choose to control every decision on-track, from pit strategy to in-race driver commands. Issuing authentic team-radio commands to their drivers and using real-time data to react to dynamic race events such as changing weather, safety cars and red flags, making those crucial calls that can take them to the top step or leave them at the back of the pack.
