Gothenburg, Sweden – March 24th, 2022: In collaboration with the LEGO Group, Thunderful are delighted to reveal LEGO® Bricktales, a new digital adventure being developed by Clockstone, creators of the acclaimed Bridge Constructor series.

Travel across a diverse range of intricate and colorful diorama biomes all fully built from LEGO bricks, and get captivated by the charming story, LEGO Bricktales encourages you to unlock your creativity as you build your own solutions to the game’s many inventive puzzles.

In LEGO Bricktales, journey across 5 different LEGO themed biomes and use an intuitive new brick-by-brick building mechanic to solve puzzles and bring your solutions to life. From purely aesthetic creations, such as market stands and music boxes, up to functional physics-based puzzles like building cranes and gyrocopters, LEGO Bricktales offers a host of challenges and quests to test your imagination and building skills.

Through the deepest jungle, sun-drenched deserts, a bustling city corner, a towering medieval castle and tropical Caribbean islands, you’ll be treated to delightful environments packed full of secrets, challenges and fun characters.

In each diorama, there are LEGO minifigures who need your help, as well as the opportunity to unlock new skills for your good deeds. While exploring these colorful environments, you will discover a variety of construction spots with their own sets of bricks – it’s up to you to figure out a unique build that will work. Whether you’re being asked to put on your designer hat and build a throne fit for a king or testing your engineering skills to build a bridge that will get a digger across a river, how you construct your builds and meet the challenges you’re being offered is up to you!

“After more than two years, it feels incredible to finally announce what we have been working on behind closed doors. We’re honored to have this opportunity to collaborate with the largest toy brand worldwide,” said Dieter Schoeller, Vice-President of Publishing at Thunderful. “With LEGO Bricktales, we’ve made it our mission to tap into what it is that makes LEGO play so special. Our intuitive brick-by-brick building mechanic allows players to engage with LEGO bricks in a video game the same way the toys have been inspiring people’s imagination and creativity for decades.”

“Everyone loves LEGO Bricks,  and we are no exception, so we couldn’t be happier to get the chance to work on a LEGO videogame,” said Tri Do Dinh, Game Designer at Clockstone. “We hope you enjoy this first look at LEGO Bricktales and will have a great time diving into the game’s story, sandbox mode, unlockable abilities and much more!”

“The game encourages players to use their imagination and creativity to unlock new skills that can help them progress to new levels. This new digital experience is rooted in the creative, playful joy that comes from building and problem-solving using LEGO bricks” said Kate Bryant, Head of LEGO Games Portfolio, the LEGO Group.

Watch the gameplay new trailer then get some practice rounds in with a limited-time demo available now on Steam

Golfenburg, Sweden – March 24th, 2022 – Players can finally tee-off in Thunderful and Chuhai Labs’  heavily anticipated ‘Golf-Like’, Cursed to Golf, when it comes to PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One this summer. Cursed to Golf’s release window was revealed today at the Future Games Show, as part of the Virtual Showfloor segment of the presentation. Get a fresh look at what’s in store for our hapless golfer as they navigate the dungeon-like holes of Golf Purgatory in the brand new gameplay trailer:

After featuring in multiple “2022 most anticipated” lists from leading games media, players can now see what all the excitement is about for themselves: a free limited-time demo for the game is available on Steam from now until March 27th at 8pm CET. The demo will give players a feel of how Cursed to Golf’s compelling ‘Golf-Like’ loop works, let them try the kinds of outlandish trickshots that only exist in Golf Purgatory and offer a taste of a retro-inspired soundtrack that, quite frankly, slaps hard. For the truly skilled corporeal golfers out there, The Scotsman boss fight lies at the end of the demo, beating him is the first true test of Golf Purgatory, good luck!

“With the heartening enthusiasm surrounding Cursed to Golf, we’re really excited to be moving towards release in Summer 2022 and finally being able to let people play it. Well, actually, we decided we’d let people play it now – hence this limited-time free demo on Steam!” said Game Director Liam Edwards. “Enjoy the first biome of Golf Purgatory, there’s some tricky holes and you’ll even have the opportunity to play against the first boss. Have fun and good luck on getting past The Scotsman!”

In Cursed to Golf, you take on the role of the Cursed Golfer, trapped in Golf Purgatory after a lightning strike stops you dead in your tracks. To ascend back to the land of the living, you’ll need to play through 18 dungeon-like holes. These hellish holes feature teleporters, TNT, high-powered fans and other challenges that will put your skills to the ultimate test in a ‘Golf-Like’ loop that will see you golf, die and golf again. That’s not to mention the bosses that you will have to defeat if you want to remove your curse and escape your fate.

You can get a helping hand on your quest in the form of Ace Cards. These cards give you access to world-bending trick shots, allowing you to stop time, readjust shots in mid-air, freeze otherwise hazardous bodies of water and more. These cards are not only a hell of a lot of fun to use, but will be vital if you are to beat all 18 holes within the PAR counter and avoid your curse returning you to the start and forcing you to golf your way back again.

FRANKFURT, Germany – March 24, 2022 – A new darkness rises in the bayou as Hunt: Showdown’s latest live event, “Traitor’s Moon: The Dark Is Rising,” launches today.

These four weapons won’t be officially available in-game until a future date after the event, so now’s a great time to get hands-on experience with them.

Launching alongside the live event today is the “Meridian Turncoat” DLC. The pack includes “Turncoat,” a new legendary hunter whose mind is set on revenge after being sent to war and falsely accused of treason for being the sole survivor of an ambush. The new DLC also includes two legendary weapons, a pair of Dolch 96 pistols named Crossfire and Ambush, plus a new legendary ammo crate – Red Cask.

About Hunt: Showdown

Hunt: Showdown is a competitive first-person bounty hunting game that packs the thrill of survival games into a match-based format. Set in Louisiana in 1895, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that creates a uniquely tense experience. It’s not just the creatures who are a threat—it’s every hunter on the map. In the classic game mode, a match of Hunt pits 12 players — playing solo or in teams of two or three — against each other as they race to take out gruesome beasts for a bounty they must collect and get off of the map. Hunt‘s quickplay mode offers shorter matches for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward – but a single mistake could cost everything. For more information, visit www.huntshowdown.com.
