In the far-flung future, the AI that populates the internet comes under attack by mysterious viruses—and it’s up to a squad of Glitch Busters to keep them from infecting every AI in the virtual world! Players must work together to exterminate this deadly threat across six inventive and colorful worlds packed with various missions and stages, including a towering metropolis and roaring volcano. From Tube City to the Social Forest, all facets of the internet are showcased in a fun and vibrant aesthetic.

“Toylogic was built around the idea of creating memorable gaming experiences that push the boundaries for what the medium can accomplish,” said Yoichi Take, President of Toylogic Inc. “Glitch Busters: Stuck on You is the result of our team working hard to truly understand what makes a great co-operative game and produce something that stands out within the industry. We’re delighted with what we’ve accomplished and can’t wait for players to soon join forces to battle the evil virus threat.”

Throughout the game, there are hordes of enemies to encounter, so it’s only natural that the Glitch Busters have an incredible host of power-ups and unlockable weapons to help save the world, including magnetic abilities to attract and repel, alongside wacky weapons like the freeze gun to hold your adversaries in place. Players will vote on useful items to power up the squad and can even combine their vehicles to transform into a giant robot.

“Toylogic has an incredible pedigree in the video game industry, having supported development on a number of AAA titles over the last 15 years,” said Ian Howe, co-CEO of Skybound Games. “Now we have the pleasure to work with them on one of their most exciting releases yet, an incredibly original take on the co-op shooter that will thrill and delight gamers of all ages.”

With the option to play with friends via split-screen co-op or squad-up with players around the world and even join forces with intuitive bots, the options for building the ultimate virus-busting team are endless.

Glitch Busters: Stuck on You has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

Call of the Sea creators Out of the Blue and Raw Fury bring you a new game with a behind-the-scenes look at a deadly televised utopia

STOCKHOLM – April 26, 2022 – Out of the Blue, developers of the critically acclaimed Call of the Sea, and Raw Fury are teaming up to put their second collaborative project on the broadcast schedule: American Arcadia. This exciting new title combines two gameplay styles: a 2.5D platformer and a first-person puzzler – in a thrilling single-player experience with a unique story.

In American Arcadia, players take on the roles of two characters – each with their own distinct gameplay – whose lives and fates are intertwined. Arcadia is a ‘70s-style, retro-futuristic metropolis where everyone enjoys a life of luxury. But what the citizens don’t know is that they are playing a role in American Arcadia, a television show that has been broadcast live 24/7 for decades. Under the eyes of countless viewers, those who are popular lead a carefree life with nothing to fear. But those who fall out of the audience’s favor risk a far less rosy outcome…

For an average man with an uninteresting life like Trevor Hills, that should mean serious trouble. But Trevor has found help from a mysterious voice promising to guide him through American Arcadia‘s backstage to his freedom. Is this offer real? Or merely a gimmick to raise audience ratings?

American Arcadia Features:

• Escape a ‘70s Televised Utopia: Discover a gripping story presented uniquely as a documentary, with character interviews and interrogations as you progress.
• Two Experiences in One Game: Control two characters with completely distinct play styles: one a 2.5D side-scroller with challenging platforming action, breathtaking chases, stealth and puzzles, the other a full 3D first-person game with hacking, exploration, stealth elements and puzzles.
• Rich Characters & Performances: Exceptional voice talent, including Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man, Prince of Persia, Call of the Sea), Krizia Bajos (Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends) and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Life is Strange, Call of the Sea), breathe life into a world of compelling characters.

American Arcadia is in development for PC and consoles. It is available to wishlist now on Steam.

American Arcadia will participate in this year’s TRIBECA Games Festival. More information on the title will be revealed during this year’s Summer Game Fest and on its official website: www.americanarcadiagame.com.

PORTLAND, OR – April 26, 2022 – Floppy Knights, the turn-based strategy deck-builder from developer 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 on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.

Join a brilliant young programmer, Phoebe, and her trusted robot-arm bestie, Carlton, on a journey to win the Science Fair and prove to her parents that she can make a living off of her inventions instead of getting a “real” job. With her Floppy Knights in tow, the mighty floppy disks turned into tangible projections of plants, monsters, and other collectible battle creatures, Phoebe starts taking on odd jobs around town to put them to the test.

Mix and match Plant, Monster, and Hooligan cards to build powerful decks filled with Phoebe’s inventions including the rotund Barrel Cactus, the fearsome Jessica, and Applejacker bandits. Enter turn-based battles to protect the townsfolk from fierce Goblin Grunts, flying BeheMoths, and Shady Shrooms. Choose a powerful commander to lead the Floppy Knights’ fight like Vera, whose signature card boost restores units’ health, or Big Mad, who becomes stronger after suffering damage, to secure victory for Phoebe.

Strategize your turns according to the special cards generated by each Floppy Knight to maximize their distinctive boosts and actions. Upgrade cards during battles to swing the tide in Phoebe’s favor by restoring health, increasing attack range, and other boons. Round out a strong team by completing secondary missions and win BigCoins to unlock new cards at Phoebe’s programming workshop. 

Save the annual Science Fair from cancellation as a nearby volcano threatens to erupt. This is Phoebe’s year to take down Alex, a major copycat and super-mean nemesis, and her knock-off robot Snarlton. Win the coveted first-place cash prize at the Gadget Cup and find a whole new world of adventures waiting around the corner. Get Phoebe’s parents off her case (finally!), face the dangers of a spooky misted forest, escape an icy cavern prone to cave-ins, and survive a robot invasion, all with the help of the fearless Floppy Knights. Becoming a local hero isn’t easy, but with the right companions at her side, Phoebe might just be ready for it.

Enjoy the strategic movements and whimsical, eye-catching art style directed by Marlowe Dobbe (Dicey Dungeons) set to upbeat tunes that heigh each emotion-filled battle composed by Grahm Nesbitt (Garden Story, Goodbye Doggy). 

“Floppy Knights is a wholesome adventure about becoming a hero when you least expect it,” said Marlowe Dobbe, Floppy Knights Creative Director. “We all experience ups and downs, and Phoebe’s story is an example of that–only much more magical and exciting!”

Floppy Knights debuts on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S (via backwards compatibility), Xbox and PC Game Pass, and Steam for Windows and Mac users on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, for USD $19.99. The game will support English text with additional languages to come in future updates. The soundtrack is available for purchase for USD $7.99 and streaming via Bandcamp.
