Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands – DLC Glutton’s Gamble Now Available

Second post-launch content drop features new boss, the Sand Witch, and incredible Legendary loot

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software released the Glutton’s Gamble DLC for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands®, available for individual purchase or through owning the Season Pass*. Check out the new trailer and prepare to face the monster in Vesper‘s second Mirror of Mystery. Trouble is brewing as Imelda, Witch of the Sand, unleashes her latest culinary creation—a potion that imbues her with a voracious appetite and fearsome strength.

A Challenge You Can Dive Right Into

As with the other Mirrors of Mystery, Glutton’s Gamble can give you a chance to face a more difficult dungeon and farm higher-tier loot to help you complete the main story. You can test your mettle with this challenging, re-playable gauntlet while Vesper shares the self-contained story of Imelda’s origins.

Vesper and her Mirrors of Mystery are located in the Dreamveil Overlook, just outside of Brighthoof in the Overworld. The enemies within have a baseline level of 13, and will scale to your Fatemaker’s level beyond that, making the Mirrors of Mystery a worthy, repeatable endeavour whether you’re still early on in your Fatemaker’s quest or you’ve forged yourself in the flames of the most difficult Chaos Levels. But tread carefully, because dying within a Mirror of Mystery will kick you out of the looking glass; you’ll have to start over if you want to show Imelda who’s boss.

Four Weeks of Boss Battles and New Loot

For three consecutive weeks following the launch of Glutton’s Gamble, Imelda will cook up a new potion transforming her into an ever-more voracious beast. With each progressively tougher form, new Legendary gear will be added to the loot table, giving you good reason to return for some rematches. Those new items are in addition to the wide array of fresh cosmetic items you can collect, whether as random drops from enemies within the Mirrors of Mystery or when spinning Vesper’s Wheel of Fate using the Lost Souls you’ve collected during your mirror-dimension battles.

A full schedule for when Imelda takes on new, deadlier forms is available on the game’s official website. You’ll have to beat each form consecutively, even if you’re playing Glutton’s Gamble after the initial dates have passed. Vesper will reveal unique insight into Imelda’s motives with each difficulty level; beat all four to hear the full story.

Additions to Endgame Experience

If you can successfully complete Glutton’s Gamble at least once, its five unique level layouts and the Imelda boss fight will be added to the pool of Chaos Chamber possibilities for even more endgame dungeon variety. Combined with the ongoing series of limited-time mini-events and weekly Featured Runs that are constantly being added to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, there’s lots to be gained from besting Imelda’s new forms each week. Good luck defeating Imelda and her cauldron full of culinary chaos!

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands launched on March 25, 2022 across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and PC via the Epic Games Store exclusively at launch, and on other PC digital storefronts later in 2022.

Super UFO Fighter, Competitive Online Extraterrestrial Action, Beams Down to Switch, PC 14 July, 2022

TOKYO – 19 May, 2022 – Super UFO Fighter, the head-to-head party action game from Japanese developer VV-LABO and published by Phoenixx, lifts off on Thursday, 14 July, 2022, on Nintendo Switch and Steam for PC.

Compete in an intergalactic 1v1 showdown, where flying saucer pilots contend for the Galactic Shwoop Master Title. Smash open capsules to find items that can raise the enemy’s goal or lower your own. Grab the Target item and fling it into the opponent’s goal using the Shwoop Beam to score, or use the UFO’s smash attack to keep the enemy from scoring. Master each UFO’s unique beam and attack to become the undisputed champion of the universe.

Battle in six colorful arenas, including Bubbletopia Palace and Corner Caboodle, each with different layouts and stage-specific elements, making every match a one-of-a-kind challenge. Mix things up in the Super Ball mode, where each competitor tries to get the explosive ball to the other side of the screen before the timer runs out, and the unfortunate UFO gets blown up!

Compete in any game mode in either local or online multiplayer, with cross-platform support between Steam and Nintendo Switch. Learn the ropes in the single-player story mode, where Earth’s own Lulu finds herself exploring the galaxy, learning the ways of the Shwoop Beam, and battling against nefarious would-be challengers. 

Initially set to land on Earth in January, developer VV-LABO returned to their home planet after feedback received during premieres at INDIE Live Expo Winter 2021 and The MIX Next. With this extra time, the team included gameplay balancing improvements, a new stage, and secret content.

“We got so much great feedback from our appearances in our November showcases that motivated us to make Super UFO Fighter even better,” said Taro Masuda, main programmer, and art director, VV-LABO. We’re sorry you had to wait longer than you expected, but we’re ready for you to enter our universe of colorful competition!”

CELEBRATING ONE YEAR OF POWERWASH SIMULATOR WITH THREE NEW LEVELS, CHOSEN BY YOU!

INTRODUCING THREE SPECIAL JOBS SELECTED AND VOTED FOR BY THE COMMUNITY!

LONDON (May 19th, 2022) – Today, award-winning developer FuturLab released a special anniversary update for Steam Early Access title POWERWASH SIMULATOR. Published by Square Enix Ltd, the 0.9 update features three Special Jobs selected and voted for by the PowerWash community! 
 
POWERWASH SIMULATOR lets players wash away their worries with the soothing sounds of high-pressure water. Players can build their very own power washing business and blast away every speck of dirt and grime that they can find. POWERWASH SIMULATOR focuses on player relaxation and escapism with a unique take on the simulation genre. 
 
To mark the first anniversary of the game’s release into Steam Early Access, FuturLab has released a selection of community map requests to mark the occasion. Throughout the last 12 months, POWERWASH SIMULATOR has had nine updates and added over 25 new jobs and 2 new game modes; the community has grown to hundreds of thousands and garnered over 18,000 overwhelmingly positive reviews. 
 
The new community maps feature a fabulous Gnome Fountain, a sensational Steam Locomotive, and a magical Mini Golf Course. All three of these Special Jobs were proposed, selected, and voted for on Discord by the PowerWash community from hundreds of suggestions.
 
“We always knew that community would be a huge part of this game’s development, and it was important to us that we engaged with players to gather feedback and ideas to shape the game’s future.” Commented James Marsden, Co-CEO of FuturLab. “That’s why we are particularly excited that this update has key community-driven improvements and three original levels suggested by and voted for by our players. One year on this game is still exceeding our expectations, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.”

That’s not all for this community-focused update; players can now earn money in Free Play & Special Jobs, there’s a new fixed camera view for washing to improve accessibility and help combat motion sickness, and some of the older levels have had a facelift to match the grace and beauty of the game’s more recent jobs.

Post-Apocalypse Survival Sim Endzone – A World Apart: Survivor Edition is Now Available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Post-Apocalypse Survival Sim Endzone – A World Apart: Survivor Edition is Now Available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Raise Society from the Nuclear Ash and Rebuild Mankind Pitted Against an Unforgiving Environmental Massacre

Wiesbaden, Germany (May 19, 2022) – Today, publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Gentlymad Studio proudly launch the massively popular Endzone – A World Apart on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, aptly titled Survivor Edition, including Endzone’s first game-enriching DLC called “Prosperity.” Brave the destroyed surface of the Earth and rebuild a semblance of home for the world’s last remaining humans — or die trying. 

Steeped in a world poisoned with radiation following a worldwide nuclear disaster, Endzone – A World Apart tasks players with a monumental responsibility: build a civilization and maintain the wellbeing of Earth’s last remaining human colony. Much like its genre peers such as Surviving Mars, Frostpunk, or Surviving the Aftermath, players will use the tools at their disposal to build housing structures, develop a functioning electrical system, and maintain stable water and food supplies. Much unlike its competitors, Endzone – A World Apart won’t see players face off against ghastly ghouls and irradiated monstrosities. Instead, violent weather events—such as sandstorms and drought—seek to destroy.

Watch the Endzone – A World Apart: Survivor Edition launch trailer here:

Boasting over 5,000 positive reviews on Steam, Endzone – A World Apart is a lauded addition to the survival sim genre and blends the best of post-apocalyptic survival and city-building, delivering a challenging yet rewarding redemption-style gameplay experience that demands intuition and skill. With the release of the Survivor Edition, the dystopian survival-sim is now available to a whole new class of (console) survival specialists. 

Key Features of Endzone’s Console Release Include: 

  • Full UI overhaul: Specially geared to controllers – provides for a comfortable and up-to-date gameplay experience for current-gen consoles 
  • A Bustling Community: The settlement is rarely quiet or dull; fulfill over 90 side missions, all of which are rich in variety and cater to the various needs of your community’s inhabitants 
  • Build, Expand, Survive: With more than 90 different buildings to construct and   maintain, including power stations, shelters, water treatment plants, and, unfortunately, cemeteries, colony architects have a vast selection of structures from which to create a flourishing community 
  • Can’t We Order In?: To get fresh supplies and learn new information, scouting parties must engage in Expeditions — which involves leaving the safety of the colony and   venturing out into the dangerous wasteland to scavenge valuable resources 
  • Dynamic Radiation Simulator: Keep those iodine pills handy, as Endzone features realistic radiation and humidity values that force players to take into account important details about the soil in which they grow their crops

Endzone – A World Apart: Survivor Edition is available now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for $49.99 USD. Thanks to a collaboration with Koch Media, a leading global publishing partner, a physical PlayStation 5 retail version is also available for $49.99, as well as on Amazon exclusively in Europe.

Founded in 2016 and based in Wiesbaden, Germany, Assemble Entertainment is an independent games developer best known for the survival city-builder Endzone – A World Apart, that challenges players to survive and thrive following an environmental apocalypse, and the modernized Leisure Suit Larry series, featuring two new entries in the iconic decades-spanning saga.

About Lazy Monday  

Lazy Monday Games is a studio of two brothers, started in 2015. They have been playing and discussing games since early childhood, established a shared concept of fun, and settled on a foundation of total trust and (sometimes brutal) honesty. That relationship and shared vision mean much of the process becomes unstated agreement, leaving time and energy for deeper,

tougher design choices – vital in such a small team.
