Sydney, Australia, (May 25, 2022) – Crossfire: Legion, the modern, action-filled, Real Time Strategy game – with a respectful nod to classic games that defined the genre – launches today in Early Access.
Set in the near future of the Crossfire universe, where society is crumbling and the world is consumed by corporate conflicts, three rival factions fight for the domination of their ideologies.

Each Commander brings special abilities to the battlefield that can help turn the tide of battle. Knowing how to make the most of them, but also how to counter them, will be essential to prevail in the many multiplayer modes.
UGC tools and ESL-backed competitive tournaments will also be introduced at a later date in development and are expected to play a key role in energising the community.
“Crossfire: Legion is a classically inspired Real Time Strategy game at its heart. What makes it stand out are the magic touches of macro-strategy with army, map, and game customisation”Maurice Grela, Game Designer at Blackbird Interactive said. “We are excited to finally bring it to Early Access and can’t wait to hear what players who grew up with RTS or are just (re)discovering the genre think of it.

PORTLAND, OR – 24 May 2022 – Floppy Knights, the turn-based strategy deckbuilder from Rose City Games, lands on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (via backwards compatibility), Xbox and PC Game Pass, and Steam for PC and Mac today.
Set off on an adventure alongside Phoebe and Carlton, a talented 16-year-old computer whiz and her clever bionic-arm BFF, to win the Science Fair with her mighty Floppy Knights, the retro floppy disks turned into tangible projections. Win a large cash prize to kick start her tech career, and fulfill odd jobs around the neighborhood while becoming a hometown hero protecting townsfolk in need.

Each Floppy Knight presents an opportunity to change the tide of battle with the special cards generated as they join in the fight. Lead the crew in engaging turn-based battles with a powerful commander such as Captain Thistle, whose signature card increases speed for a turn, or Sparko, who can move through enemies. Mix and match Phoebe’s card inventions to create powerful decks filled with plants, monsters, and hooligans, employing each special card strategically to secure victory by making the most of their striking boosts and actions.
Enticing vibrant visuals and quirky characters created by Marlowe Dobbe (Dicey Dungeons) are brought to life to the sound of cheery tracks composed by Grahm Nesbitt (Garden Story, Goodbye Doggy) in a heartfelt coming-of-age story about discovering one’s true self and becoming a hero in the face of adversity.
“Floppy Knights combines kooky characters, an earnest storyline, and tons of action wrapped up in a colorful design,” said Marlowe Dobbe, Creative Director. “There’s never a dull moment with Phoebe and Carlton, and we cannot wait for everyone to join their story!”

Hertfordshire, 24th May 2022 – KOEI TECMO Europe is proud to announce that their highly-anticipated musou thriller, Touken Ranbu Warriors, is now available digitally across Europe on the Nintendo Switch™ and PC via Steam®. This title marks the first time that developer Ruby Party, known for their Otome style games, has released a game in the West – combining their expertise with the Omega Force development team to bring a new Touken Ranbu experience to life. To celebrate the game’s launch, KOEI TECMO Europe released an action-packed launch trailer to showcase what fans can expect from the title.
In Touken Ranbu Warriors, famous swords take on the form of warriors known as the Touken Danshi (swordsmen). Fifteen Touken Danshi have been drifting through time without their master to guide them when they are suddenly attacked by the menacing History Retrograde Army (HRA). After the fighting breaks out, the Touken Danshi are approached by the Government of the Time, and are sent on a mission into the war-torn Sengoku Era where the revision of Japanese history is already underway.
Touken Ranbu Warriors is a collaboration between the ‘spirits of blades’ simulation game Touken Ranbu – ONLINE – by DMM GAMES and NITRO PLUS and KOEI TECMO’s famed 1 vs. 1,000 WARRIORS series. Fans of the Touken Ranbu series can now experience their favourite characters in 3D for the first time as they take on missions against the History Retrograde Army. Utilise the powerful abilities and graceful actions of the Touken Danshi, including Hissatsu attacks which perfectly capture each character’s personality as they elegantly defeat any enemy in their path. Two characters can also partner up on the battlefield to unleash electrifying co-operative attacks — the more they fight together their bonds deepen and special conversation events can take place. The game also features two different control modes: Easy Mode allows simple button commands for those new to the action game genre, while Regular Mode allows for a wider range of actions for fans already accustomed to musou-style controls.
Touken Ranbu Warriors also features the Honmaru, the main base for the Touken Danshi, where players can get a glimpse of the daily life of their favourite characters. Occasionally mini-games will take place between missions. For example: if two Touken Danshi are together in the kitchen, they can work together to create mochi. If the mini-game is cleared, materials or koban can be obtained which can be used to upgrade the Honmaru or the Touken Danshi.
Two versions of the highly-anticipated musou title are available for purchase today; a Standard Edition, which comes with a digital copy of Touken Ranbu Warriors, and a Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes a digital copy of the game and access to an assortment of DLC. Special DLC packs featured in the Digital Deluxe Edition include the “Honmaru Backdrop”, which enables gamers to change the season of the honmaru; the “Additional Music” DLC, which includes 5 additional music pieces from Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- specially arranged for this title; and the “Uchiban Outfit” 16 piece set, which allows gamers to change the outfits of the Touken Danshi.

A Quick-Fire Game of Cat-and-Mouse Between Righteous Sheriffs and No-Good Outlaws that Puts Detective and Stealth Skills to the Test!
Los Angeles, CA (May 24, 2022) — Today, Snail Games — global developer and publisher known for the Ark: Survival Evolved franchise — alongside publishing pardner Wandering Wizard and developer NewGen, are excited to announce West Hunt, a Wild West social deduction game for PC. The game, designed for 1-4 players, will be available June 14, 2022 via Steam Early Access.
“West Hunt has allowed Snail Games to step into new territory with the growing social deduction genre,” said Peter Kang, COO of Snail Games. “The unique blend of mechanics combined with the classic Old West setting is sure to provide tons of hilarious moments, and we can’t wait to see what kind of trouble players get up to in West Hunt.”
West Hunt is set in a small but bustling village in the Old West, filled with kind-hearted folks from all walks of life. But among them hides a wolf in sheep’s clothing, stirring up trouble right under their noses: the Outlaw! Lucky for this one horse town there’s a Sheriff ‘round these parts, with a loaded six-shooter at their hip. After players receive their role, the deadly game of cat-and-mouse begins!
As the Outlaw, players are tasked with completing all their assigned missions before time runs out; bribing the Barman, poisoning the water supply, praying for forgiveness, and other staple Outlaw activities. Completing missions will increase the Outlaw’s notoriety, giving the Sheriff key information to help track them down and put a permanent end to their bad-guy antics. As the Outlaw, players can do optional side missions to reduce their notoriety and blend in with the other villagers. Surely that dancing nun in the bar wouldn’t hurt anybody?
Meanwhile, as the Sheriff, players must carefully observe the behavior of the villagers in town to deduce the identity of the Outlaw and kill them within the time limit. But don’t get trigger happy, as shooting an innocent villager will result in the Outlaw winning the game. As the notoriety of the Outlaw increases, hints such as their last known location, their last completed mission, or uncompleted missions can be collected from mailboxes around the town. Being a Sheriff ain’t easy, but it’s honest work.
Key Features of West Hunt Include:
Belly Through the Brush: Dodge Johnny Law with randomized elements every game, including Outlaw skin and Outlaw missions. Sheriff hints are also located in random places each round to even the odds.
Howdy Pardners!: 1 vs 1 isn’t the only way to play. Team up for 2 vs 2 matches, play against bots, and create unique rules with custom games.
Quit Yer Yammering: In-game voice chat means Outlaws and Sheriff’s can taunt one another to their heart’s content!
Best Dressed in the West: Customize the look of the Sheriff, personalize winning and losing emotes, and even get a helper hound to sniff out trouble!
West Hunt will release for PC via Steam Early Access on June 14, 2022, with a full release announcement coming at a later date. Players can wishlist the game today at:
