Angry Birds Journey Now Available Worldwide!

Rovio’s first new slingshot game in seven years is playable now on app stores everywhere

ESPOO, Finland Jan. 20, 2022 – After a successful soft launch in select regions, Angry Birds Journey is now available on iOS and Android devices everywhere! During the birds’ twelve-year timeline, the franchise has seen the Angry Birds characters expand into various game genres, but Angry Birds Journey puts the birds back in their famous slingshot for a puzzle game with the slingshot at its heart.

Reworked and streamlined, Angry Birds Journey is undoubtedly a modern Angry Birds experience, a perfect casual puzzle game to pick up and play any time. Accessible and fun, the game holds a juicy story and rich game world for players to explore. True to its name, Angry Birds Journey takes the birds on an adventure to the far reaches of their world in search of mysterious egg-shaped artifacts known as the Egg Wonders. The flock must discover and activate these powerful items before the piggies get to them.

All the Angry Birds games have delightful destruction at their core, but the slingshot is a fan favorite. CEO Alex Pelletier-Normand said, “The love for the original slingshot gameplay is still strong after 12 years. Today, with the global launch of Angry Birds Journey, we’re happy to present to players an all-new Angry Birds experience that puts the slingshot at center stage. Although much different from the classic games in its updated and streamlined gameplay, Angry Birds Journey is filled with the same satisfying gameplay and the same iconic characters that have defined the Angry Birds games over the years. We believe Angry Birds Journey has something to love for long-time Angry Birds fans, but is also more accessible and thus a great entry point for those who have never experienced the classic slingshot games.”

There is a big year ahead for the Angry Birds. Their first long-form animated series, Angry Birds: Summer Madness, lands on Netflix later this month, and a remake of the original Angry Birds game is in the works. In addition, fans can expect brand partnerships and plenty of events and updates to their favorite games. 

Angry Birds Journey is available on the App Store and Google Play. As a special bonus to early birds, players who join in the first week will receive a bundle of in-game goodies to help them get started on the journey.

Ziggurat Interactive Unveils Deadly Dozen Reloaded, a Reimagining of the 2001 Squad-Based Stealth Classic (PC, Console, Switch)

Modern Version Includes a Total Graphical Overhaul, Modern Control Scheme, and Larger Mission Maps

DENVER, COLORADO (January 20, 2022) – Ziggurat Interactive, publisher of multiplatform retro and modern games, announces today Deadly Dozen Reloaded, a reimagining of the squad-based stealth game originally developed and released by N-Fusion Interactive in 2001. The game is set to release on PC, consoles, and Nintendo Switch in spring 2022, and will feature modern updates — including a visual overhaul and enhanced squad controls.

In World War II, the United States Army was ordered by General Dwight D. Eisenhower to recruit a special operations unit who would be capable of carrying out dangerous missions in secret — any time, and in any environment. Twelve uniquely skilled men were recruited, each one possessing the physical prowess and a distaste for authority well-suited for such an unconventional unit. They became known as the Deadly Dozen.

Choose your squad of four from a roster of twelve playable characters, each with unique stats, weapon, and equipment proficiencies to complete critical objectives behind enemy lines. Players can match their squad to their preferred playstyle, whether that means they want to go full stealth, focus on run-and-gun action, or make some noise with loud, devastating explosions. Players command their unit with the Squad Wheel, which they can use to call out movement orders, fire orders, stance, and formation changes to adapt to challenges in the field. Additionally, direct control is never limited to just one of the four squad members, as players can swap their playable character at any time.

“The Deadly Dozen games are unique military shooters that reward careful planning and clever tactics as much as they do pure shooting skills,” said Michael Devine, SVP of Business Development at Ziggurat Interactive. “Since the release of the original game in 2001, tactical shooters exploded in popularity, and we’re delighted to introduce fans to this refreshed and enhanced version of one of the originators of the genre.”

While the structure of Deadly Dozen Reloaded remains the same as the original release, level assets, textures and character models have been rebuilt from the ground up. Real-time lighting, high-quality particle effects, and other environmental effects have been added to bring a sense of realism into the game. The PC version will support up to 4K resolution with no framerate limit, while consoles will run at 1080p and 30fps. Audio has been enhanced to include much higher fidelity samples, real-time audio effects such as reverb and occlusion, 3D surround sound, and support for 5.1 or more speaker configurations.

Key features of Deadly Dozen Reloaded include:

  • Reimagined for the Modern Era: Graphics and audio aren’t the only things that have been updated. Enemy AI is now more sophisticated, making fights more engaging, and reworked vehicle physics make driving to objectives more fun and realistic.
     
  • 10 Giant Missions: Large, faithfully recreated maps containing objectives that can be tackled in any order at the player’s discretion. Each mission will typically take over one hour to complete on normal difficulty.
     
  • Customizable Loadouts: Eleven different weapons — six American and five German — and seven types of equipment, including first aid kits, binoculars, and a variety of explosives, allow players to customize squad members to suit their play style and the mission at hand
     
  • No More Permadeath: Players can experience heart-pounding escapes with half of their team, and fallen squad-mates will recuperate for the next mission. No more reloading save files!

Deadly Dozen Reloaded will be available for PC and consoles in spring 2022.

More info about Ziggurat Interactive, its current lineup, and upcoming announcements is available on Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, and the company’s official website, with info on their upcoming products to be announced on the same.

Get A Taste Of Mystery In Crowns And Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit Demo At Steam’s Big Adventure Event

Broken Sword inspired adventure introduces players to a beautiful hand-painted Eastern Europe 

Gothenburg, Sweden – January 20th, 2022 – Thunderful Publishing & Tag Of Joy are pleased to announce that Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit will be a part of Steam’s Big Adventure Event, starting today, via a new demo giving players a peek at the intriguing mysteries, satisfying puzzles, and stunning hand-painted scenery that will be on offer in the game’s full release.

Headed up by the art director from Broken Sword 2.5, Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit takes inspiration from adventure classics like Broken Sword and Syberia, while offering a modern and unique take on the genre that brings to light the less explored parts of Europe’s mysterious history, from the legendary stories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, to the villainous plotting of the KGB.

You take on the role of Milda, a girl from Chicago who unexpectedly receives the last will of her grandfather from Lithuania – apparently, she is the last guardian of a mysterious family secret. Curious about what the secret could be, Milda flies to Europe to try and figure it out and before long finds herself embroiled in a hunt for a lost relic and stories about an uncrowned king.

In the demo you play the second chapter of the game, where Milda has just arrived from Chicago at her grandfather’s house for the first time, looking for clues that can help her figure out what is going on. The new demo features an overhauled user interface which makes the controls simpler and more intuitive and adds voice-over acting.

“This charming demo gives players a feeling of what to expect from the game in terms of its puzzles and the story, but rest assured there’s plenty more to come!” said director of the game Šarūnas Ledas. “In the full game we are going to take players on a journey across Europe, introducing them to a stunning host of sites and an eclectic roster of memorable characters. We hope players enjoy this taste of what’s on offer and we can’t wait for the chance to share more.”

Choose wisely, the missions on which you send your specialists, as you will have to divide your team in order to manage many manoeuvres at one time.

In Expeditions: Rome, you exert the will of Rome through your actions across the world stage, from the bright blue coasts of Greece to the deep forests of Gaul. Decide how people will view you, and Rome. Will you strike with an iron fist, or speak with a silver tongue?
