The Game Awards: Planet of Lana Trailer Showcases Thrilling Chase & New Desert Environment

BAFTA-nominated composer Takeshi Furukawa scoring the original soundtrack for this beautiful off-earth odyssey

Gothenburg, Sweden – December 10th, 2021 – Thunderful Publishing and independent developer Wishfully Studios have released a new trailer for highly anticipated cinematic puzzle adventure Planet of Lana. This stunning one-shot sequence highlights the visual and gameplay contrasts in the game’s breathtaking hand-painted world.

Planet of Lana’s debut announcement trailer introduced us to scenic platforming and stealth gameplay through a lush world of green fields, rich forests and sparkling blue water. The new trailer gives us an exciting peek at another section of the game, showcasing a breakneck chase sequence through an epic desert environment. This trailer also unveils more variants of the mysterious machines that have crashed onto Lana’s peaceful world. The smaller, spider-like droids first seen on the original reveal interact with larger flying automatons, while towering,  monolithic walkers threaten to crush our heroes as they press on towards a mysterious destination…

During the game’s appearance at The Game Awards yesterday, it was also revealed that Planet of Lana will be scored by multi award-winning and BAFTA-nominated composer Takeshi Furukawa. Thunderful and Wishfullly Studios are delighted to have Takeshi, known for his work on The Last Guardian, the Star Wars franchise and Star Trek: Enterprise, putting his incredible talent to work composing the game’s soundtrack.

“I’m always attracted to projects with a strong visual identity in combination with touching stories and universal themes,” said Takeshi Furukawa, composer of Planet of Lana. “But beyond the opportunity to provide emotional weight to this beautiful world, what intrigued me even more is the integral role that music plays in the story of the game.”

Set on an alien world, Planet of Lana tells the story of Lana and her loyal animal companion Mui as they embark on a rescue mission to save her sister. This touching tale is experienced through the lens of a cinematic side scrolling gameplay format, as players explore a colourful world full of stunning environments, strange creatures and dangerous machines. From a gameplay perspective, Planet of Lana is an adventure filled with daring platforming, engaging puzzles, tense stealth sequences and a companion mechanic that connects Lana and Mui, allowing for unique gameplay and story moments using their abilities in tandem.

This off-world odyssey is tied together with a completely unique visual style that combines hand-drawn artwork, complex parallax layering and subtle use of 3D graphics to give the look of an interactive painting. On high-end PCs and Xbox Series X, Planet of Lana will run at a native resolution of 4K (2160p) at 60 frames per second, allowing its incredible artwork to come to life. Further details on Planet of Lana’s gameplay, story and performance profiles for other devices in the Xbox family of consoles will be shared at a later date.

Planet of Lana stunning hand-painted visuals, unforgettable story and epic soundtrack will be coming exclusively to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam® and the Windows 10 Store in late 2022.

The wait is almost over. Soon you’ll venture into the Lands Between and strive to become its Elden Lord. Stand ready, Tarnished, and prepare to claim what fate has promised you.

WARHAMMER VERMINTIDE 2 – NEW CAREER OUT TODAY

Victor Saltzpyre gets up close and personal as the Warrior Priest

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, December 10, 2021.  Independent developer Fatshark is proud to bring a new career to the award-winning and multi-million selling Warhammer: Vermintide2.

The Warrior Priest is a new career for Victor Saltzpyre and is the fourth career released to Vermintide 2. Saltzpyre will get up close and personal with enemies when he takes on the role of a Warrior Priest of Sigmar. Powered by his normal fearless and sassy behavior, Saltzpyre shines extra bright when throwing around a mighty hammer infused with Sigmar’s powers.

“We are happy to launch the fourth new career to Warhammer: Vermintide 2, and this time it’s Victor Saltzpyre that gets the spotlight with the Warrior Priest of Sigmar.” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark.

The Warrior Priest of Sigmar includes a new talent tree, new weapon types, new abilities, and a new Warrior Priest skin amongst other things. The DLC hits Steam and Xbox today and will be available for Playstation in January 2022.

Warrior Priest Features

New weapons: the Reckoner Great Hammer and the Skull-Splitter Hammer & Blessed Tome

  • New talent tree and new abilities
  • New voice lines and character skin.
  • New weapon combinations
    • Skull-Splitter Hammer and Blessed Tome
    • Skull-Splitter Hammer and Shield
    • Dual-wield Skull-Splitter hammers

Q&A Mårten Stormdal and Markus Olsén – The Warrior Priest
Fatshark is bringings the fourth career for Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Fatshark’s Narrative Director Mårten Stormdal and Lead Game Designer Markus Olsén explains why this is not to be missed.

The Warrior Priest is the fourth new career for the five heroes launched so far. Previously Fatshark has released the Grail Knight for Markus Kruber, Bardin Goreksson’s Outcast Engineer, and Kerillian’s Sister of the Thorn. Now it’s time for Victor Saltzpyre to get the spotlight. 

The Warrior Priest of Sigmar is probably the most requested career there is, and for a good reason. 

Tell us about the Warrior Priest.
Warrior Priests have been a central part of Warhammer for a very long time and who would do it better than our own Sigmarite, Victor Saltzpyre. Warrior Priests are the armoured fist of the cult of Sigmar, members of the order of the silver hammer, they are tasked with protecting the Empire from any enemy, within or without. They may join or even take command of armies in the field, or wander the lands, protecting the borders and help out at temples they pass by talking to initiates or even preaching at the Throng.

Some priests aren’t only courageous fighters but are especially blessed and can call upon interventions and miracles from Sigmar himself to aid the pure of heart in the war against the enemies of the Empire. 

What is unique with the Warrior Priest?
The Warrior Priest of Sigmar, like the Slayer and Grail Knight before him, will not have traditional ranged weaponry available. He relies on his damage mitigating armor and skills coupled with hard hitting hammers to get the job done. His Career Skill is a protective shield that can be put on himself or his party members. This is the first time we’ve made the Career Skill a beneficial skill in this way and it makes him a very strong frontliner and supporting character

How do you use the Warrior Priest career best? 
The Warrior Priest of Sigmar has an affinity for smashing Chaos Warriors into the ground. And he’s also an excellent choice for carrying Skaven Grimoires around since he’s unaffected by their curse among other things. In any party he can have a strong impact when faced with danger by placing his protective shield on someone in the front. He can also shield allies who’ve been incapacitated to buy them time or free them. The nature of most hammers and especially coupled with his talent tree will make him great at controlling the enemies by staggering them. He also has a few talent options that enable him to heal allies in dire situations.

Which are the cosmetic items that you can pick up with the release of the Warrior Priest?
The Warrior Priest of Sigmar has some great cosmetic items. Console players have the cosmetics included in the Warrior Priest, meanwhile on PC players can pick them up through the Cosmetic Upgrade. 

There is a new unique character skin and a recoloured option as well. New weapon skins, paintings and more are included.. everything you need to make your Warrior Priest of Sigmar unique.

Now, we all know that there are five characters, and that means that one has not gotten a new career. Anything you can tell us about the next career or when it’s going to be released. Maybe what hero will get the next career?
A lot of players might have figured out by now who will get the next career, but let’s leave it at that. If you want to know more on who, what career, and when it will arrive you can always follow our social media and subscribe to our newsletter. Marketing will give us ice-cream for that answer – maybe even two scoops.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands – Debuts Dazzling New Trailer at The Game Awards

Will Arnett and Ashly Burch introduce the latest look at the upcoming fantasy looter shooter from Gearbox Software and 2K

During The Game Awards today, 2K and Gearbox Software debuted an all-new look at Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands®, the highly anticipated, fantasy-fuelled take on the looter shooter genre coming March 25, 2022. Appearing on stage from the all-star celebrity cast were Will Arnett (the Dragon Lord) and Ashly Burch (Tiny Tina), who introduced the trailer with nods to the epic characters they voice in-game.

Today’s trailer offered a sneak peek at the story of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, asthe utterly unpredictable Tiny Tina guides players through a game of the tabletop role-playing adventure Bunkers & Badasses. As the Fatemaker, you hold the story in your hands. Explore a fantastical land filled with outlandish monsters and loot-filled dungeons, all while trying to stop the tyrannical Dragon Lord and his skeleton army.

Additionally, fans got a closer look at the unforgettable cast of characters joining you on this adventure, including headstrong captain Valentine and rule-obsessed robot Frette. New details about key characters are now available on the Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Game Guide, including:

  • The Dragon Lord is a powerful necromancer and Tiny Tina’s most enduring evil creation. He has tried for eons to conquer the Wonderlands and eradicate the stain of heroism from the world. A lesser villain would have given up by now, but the Dragon Lord has devious plans to shatter the cycle and destroy the forces that have opposed him once and for all;
  • Valentine would tell you he’s a dashing rogue with a penchant for danger and a flair for heroism. Others would describe him as “a washed-up low-rent space pirate.” He loves Bunkers & Badasses, eager to play the gallant savior and immerse himself in the story. He’s quick on his feet but tends not to think about long-term consequences;
  • Frette was an office accounting bot for decades before a chance encounter with Valentine resulted in her employer filing for Bankruptcy While Currently On Fire (legally distinct from normal Bankruptcy). Rather than be liquidated at auction, she hitched a ride off-planet with Valentine and has functioned as his navigator ever since. She tries to keep Valentine out of trouble as much as possible, but one can only do so much;
  • Torgue is the founder of the Torgue Combustible Pistols Company. The screaming maniac has left behind his riches and castles and taken on the life of a wandering musician. Torgue is only a half-bard, but what he lacks in talent, he also lacks in knowledge. His magic lute allows him to cast spells, but since he lacks control one never knows what he might end up casting.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands will launch 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. Pre-orders are now available across all launch platforms.

Developed by Gearbox Software, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is rated M by the OFLC. For screenshots, key art, and other visual assets, please visit newsroom-anz.2k.com. To learn more, please visit playwonderlands.com and follow @PlayWonderlands on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
