Get ready to mix drinks and date demons!

Manchester, United Kingdom – November 10th, 2021 –  Independent developer Organ Machine is proud to announce their tasteful bubble tea-themed visual novel, Hell Boba Café, is coming soon to Steam. Organ Machine is planning on releasing a demo for Hell Boba Café during Q1 2022, with an eye for the full release by the end of next year.

In Hell Boba Café, you’ll be working at a bubble tea store at the edge of Hell. In order to appeal to the local demon population, you’ll have to use mysterious spooky ingredients to make them something tasty! Prepare delicious boba tea, make dialogue choices and flirt with a devilish cast of customers to build new relationships.

Inspired by games like VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action and Coffee Talk, you have to balance cryptic drink orders and excellent customer service to succeed.

Make beautiful boba drinks with a medley of flavours that appeal to humans and demons alike, each with their own unique taste profile! Most demons haven’t ordered boba before, so you’ll need to figure out what they like. With over 1400 boba combinations, it’ll be an exciting new flavour every time!

Demons can be tricky customers! From rude behaviour to cryptic orders, every demon will present a new challenge. If you can make great drinks and provide engaging conversation, you’ve got a long career as a bobarista ahead of you!

Some demons are thirstier than others! Improve your relationships over time and get to know the scary-looking locals. If your dialogue choices impress the four romantic interests, you may get to take one of these dazzling demons out on a cute date!

Spain-based artwork studio set to expand global presence for 2K developer 31st Union and the Company’s Global Services division 

Sydney, Australia – November 10, 2021 – 2K today announced the Company has acquired PLATYGOBIAN, S.L., doing business as elite3d, one of the world’s leading creative studios dedicated to innovative 2D and 3D artwork for the video game industry. Based in Valencia, Spain, the newly acquired team will rebrand in two ways: first, to form a second office for wholly owned developer 31st Union; and second, to develop a new 2K Publishing location, including a focus on its Global Services division. In addition, 2K has acquired TURIA GAMES, S.L. in Valencia, a development studio co-owned by the founders of elite3d. Financial terms and employment numbers related to the acquisition were not disclosed.

For 31st Union, founded in February 2019 and led by video game industry veteran Michael Condrey, the new Valencia office will complement the studio’s headquarters in San Mateo, California on in-progress development of its currently unannounced and highly anticipated AAA project. Following the acquisition, 31st Union will operate as one global and integrated team across all disciplines, embracing an always-on approach for seamless connection and collaboration among colleagues.

Other elite3d employees will form a new location for 2K’s Global Services division that will help the Company further expand its worldwide footprint and support its growing product portfolio. They will join 2K’s internal team responsible for animation, art, motion capture, project management, game technology, talent casting, user research, visual effects, and more. New team members will have opportunities to support established and new franchises, including both announced and unannounced projects; in addition, Valencia joins Global Services teams in London; Austin, Texas; 2K’s San Francisco Bay Area headquarters in Novato, California; and the division’s headquarters in Montréal.

“elite3d has made a significant impact on our industry by helping many developers and publishers bring their games to life through best-in-class passion and creativity,” said David Ismailer, President at 2K. “The team’s work style and employee culture are also a great complement to our vision and values. We look forward to seeing our new colleagues contribute to the progress made to date by 31st Union and play a key role in the growth and development of Global Services for our current and future games.”

“31st Union is built on a culture that champions inclusivity, talented individuals, and exceptional character. Diverse perspectives and experiences are a cornerstone to our growth as a team,” said Michael Condrey, President at 31st Union. “Given our ambitions and the scope of our game, welcoming aboard an incredible team like elite3d was an unbelievable opportunity. We are honored to welcome Oscar, Jose, and everyone from elite3d into our development family and look forward to them enriching our studio and achieving our game aspirations.”

elite3d was formed in 2005 by Oscar Ferrero and Jose Luis Queral in their shared hometown of Valencia, Spain – a dynamic and connected city with an international population, strong local talent base, high quality of life, and an environment rich in art, culture, and technology. Over the years, elite3d has become a go-to partner for many interactive entertainment companies, including 2K, with its work showcased across an impressive portfolio of critically and commercially acclaimed releases for video game consoles, personal computers, and mobile devices. The studio’s current office will serve as the home for both 31st Union Valencia and 2K Publishing Valencia.

“We are immensely proud of building a team that is now at the forefront of our creative expertise while seeing our initial dream become a reality,” said Ferrero and Queral in a joint statement. “We believe strongly in 2K’s vision, people, and products, and we can’t wait to take this incredible next step in our collective journey as employees of both 2K and 31st Union.”

31st Union is currently hiring for additional team members in both Valencia and San Mateo, while Global Services is hiring across all of its locations. Those interested in pursuing careers may visit the studio’s website or 2K Jobs for more information.

Enjoy the Oskoreia Season from November 10 to December 2

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — November 10, 2021 — Today, Ubisoft announced that the fourth Season is available now for free in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The harvest season marks the start of the Oskoreia Festival and Odin’s Wild Hunt, when spirits of the dead rise and savagely hunt the weak among the living. Players will have to defend Ravensthorpe from this harrowing threat and prove the Raven Clan is no easy prey.

In this free limited-time event, players will find new activities and quests, all to reap a wealth of rewards. The Oskoreia Festival will be available from November 11 to December 2. Players must reach England and complete one of the first two narrative arcs (Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire) and have a settlement at Level 2 to participate in the Oskoreia Festival.  

In the Oskoreia Festival, players will partake in three replayable activities—archery, horseback riding, and a new tournament against spirits. In the tournament, players will be cast into the Veil. Facing the various challenges ahead, from trained warriors to untamed beasts and monsters, players will need to unlock harder levels to put their fighting skills to the ultimate test. The archery contest returns with newly added friendly targets, that will impact players’ progress and keep them away from the highest score. In addition, during Oskoreia’s festivities, new quests will bring the players to meet the Mad Monk and resolve the mystery of a fallen warrior.

Adventure calls and those curious enough to answer will find the all-new Tombs of the Fallen. Scattered across England, these sprawling dungeons will be available from the moment players unlock their settlement, with no other prerequisites needed besides their ability to track them all down. Players will be able to traverse these forgotten tombs for free starting November 9.

Finally, on November 10, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla celebrates its first anniversary, with Special Event Challenges and exciting rewards, including the Valravn’s Claw, an elegant new one-handed sword, and an exclusive unicorn mount.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is available on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One consoles, PlayStation^®5, PlayStation^®4, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, as well as on Ubisoft’s subscription service, Ubisoft+.*

Bring serenity back to the world below by constructing thriving and philanthropic metropolises both in the air above and on the earth below. Trade with soil-dwelling clans, gather materials, and explore vast ancient ruins. Research and establish homes, water systems, food silos, and more to propagate a thriving society in the clouds.

The console version of Airborne Kingdom includes New Game Plus, adding new challenges to overcome. Other features include new town center units to assist in maintaining comfort levels for residents and randomized elements ranging from questlines to kingdom piece placement.

“Airborne Kingdom provides a relaxing and stress-free open-world,” said Ben Wander, lead designer, The Wandering Band. “The opportunity for creativity is endless and we hope the serenity the game’s story describes can be felt through its gameplay. Possibly even bringing peace to the legendary console wars!”
