AFTER THE FALL CONTINUES TO EXPAND AS IT RELEASES NEW CONTENT UPDATE, PHYSICAL EDITION AND MORE

Players of the VR co-op action FPS can now access the Boulevard Update, as well as get the game on new platforms and in new regions

Sydney, Australia, March 25, 2022 – Vertigo Games, the VR specialist publishing and development arm of the global Koch Media Group, continues to expand the world of their 4-player co-op action FPS After the Fall. After launching the positively received Horde Mode Update on March 10, Vertigo Games today released the Boulevard Update, as well as the physical edition After the Fall – Frontrunner Edition on PlayStation®VR*. With its launch on PSVR™, new Harvest Runners will be able to start their journey in the frozen apocalyptic wasteland as well. The Boulevard Update is one of the multiple updates coming to After the Fall’s Frontrunner Season, which is available for free to all owners of the game on Meta Quest 2, PSVR (both digital and physical) and PC VR.

To accompany the news, Vertigo Games released a new video highlighting the new Harvest Run mission, the player skin system, new LMG, and the new enemy that are all part of the Boulevard Update. Watch the trailer here:

An expanding frozen apocalyptic world

Closely following up on the Horde Mode Update, which brought two Horde Mode maps and the new Revolver, is the Boulevard Update. Both updates have been critically acclaimed by VR specialists and the community. Today’s Boulevard Update brings lots of new content, of which the Boulevard Harvest Run is central. This new map takes players to the frozen streets of Hollywood, where they get to take on Snowbreed in all existing difficulties. A new special type of Snowbreed got introduced to the game as well: the Skimmer. This creature requires a different approach, as it’s the players who have to hunt him down in order to collect a large bounty of harvest. To do so, there is a new LMG for the players to harvest with.

Following the Horde Mode -and Boulevard update are next month’s Free for all PvP mode, the Stockpile PvP map and new weapons, which are all part of the After the Fall – Frontrunner Season. Vertigo Games also has more equipment, such as consumables, devices and special weapon skins planned for April.

With intense 4-player co-op and crossplay (PC VR, PlayStation VR and Quest 2)  at its core, After the Fall offers action-packed co-op gameplay, built from the ground up for VR.  Starting out in a shared space with up to 32 other players across all platforms, players venture out into the remains of post-apocalyptic LA in squads of four, wielding weapons with real-life movements. To stay ahead of their enemies, players scavenge the undead-infested VR world, with new discoveries lurking around every corner. When they’re ready, the competitive Tundradome PvP arena and endless hordes in Horde mode awaits them.

Developed by Vertigo Studios Rotterdam (Arizona Sunshine) and published by Vertigo Games, After the Fall – Launch Edition is now available on Quest 2, PlayStation VR, and Steam. A release on the original Quest will follow at a later date. The physical edition called After the Fall – Frontrunner Edition is now available on PlayStation VR in Europe, Australia, Japan, and launches on April 12 in the USA.

Joined by an all-star celebrity cast, players can create and customize their own multiclass heroes as they loot, shoot, slash, and cast their way through outlandish monsters and treasure-filled dungeons on a quest to stop the tyrannical Dragon Lord. The chaotic fantasy world is brought to life by the utterly unpredictable Tiny Tina, who makes the rules, changes the world on the fly, and guides players on their respective journeys.

“Since we founded Gearbox in 1999, it’s always been a dream of ours to create a video game in a fantasy setting. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is the result of everyone on our team pouring their hearts and souls into making a title like that a reality – it’s a love letter to anyone with a passion for role playing games or looter shooters,” said Randy Pitchford, founder of the Gearbox Entertainment Company. “I hope you join us and our millions of fans around the world in experiencing this impossible culmination of years and years of pent-up creativity and passion that’s finally manifested in this wild, all-new, one-of-a-kind video game, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.”

  • An Unpredictable Fantasy World: Tiny Tina is your disorderly guide through an extraordinary tabletop realm where rules rarely apply. Explore majestic cities, dank mushroom forests, foreboding fortresses, and more, all of which are connected by a vast Overworld;
  • Personalize Your Hero: Create your own hero with an expansive multiclass system that lets you mix and match six unique character skill trees, all with their own awesome abilities. Level up, refine your build, expand your arsenal, and become the ultimate Fatemaker;
  • Guns, Spells, and More: Defeat evil with devastating spells, powerful guns, and unique Action Skills in frenetic first-person battles. Use your firepower to vanquish legions of enemies, including smack-talking skeletons, land-roaming sharks, and colossal bosses;
  • A Fantastical Cast of Characters: Joining you for the experience are headstrong captain Valentine and rule-obsessed robot Frette. During your quest to defeat the Dragon Lord, you’ll meet a cast of lovable misfits – like a lute-wielding Bardbarian and your very own Fairy Punchfather – who bring this colourful world to life.

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.

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!

Cursed to Golf Swings Its Way to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch & PC Summer 2022

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.
