The Sequel to Salt and Sanctuary Also Begins the Hunt on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 in Q1 2022

SEATTLE – October 18, 2021 – Salt and Sacrifice, the next installment in the million-plus selling soulslike platformer Salt and Sanctuary series from Ska Studios and Devoured Studios, launches on PC via the Epic Games Store in Early 2022 alongside PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions.

In the decaying Altarstone Kingdom, twisted Mages spread corruption through the land. As chaos descends, only the Marked Inquisitors – doomed warriors condemned to fight – can hope to halt the Mages and their wicked Magic. March through the Western boundary of Altarstone, hunting and destroying Mages before turning remains into powerful weapons and armor. Cast runic arts upon each weapon, manipulating energy to channel abilities like shockwaves towards foes.

Choose from eight starting classes, like the stalwart Fighter, the pious Cleric, and the erudite Sage, and customize their appearance as well as the crime that led them to this hellish fate. Traverse the realm, clashing steel against the scavengers, guardians, and other strange creatures that stand in the Marked Inquisitor’s way. Fight alone or team up with another Inquisitor for a full online co-op adventure or summon a temporary ally in online quick play sessions.

However, summoning comes at a cost. Calling forth brothers and sisters-in-arms also places a target on the summoner, letting fiends from other tenebrous worlds wreak havoc. Fortunately, factions exist to share the burden among like-minded Inquisitors. Join the ranks of the Shroud Alliance, a violent band who revel in glorious PvP combat against fellow Marked Inquisitors or heed the Dawnlight Order’s call, serving as a trustworthy knight always willing to lend a hand.

Salt and Sacrifice entices adventurers with a brutal single-player campaign rife with features inspired by popular soulslike titles. Master satisfying and challenging combat, explore a dark world inspired by Scandinavian folklore and uncover a wealth of armor and weapons. Engage in high-stakes PvP combat to create an unforgettable experience full of excitement, trials, and triumph, or utilize a password system to limit online interactions to friends only.

“Salt and Sacrifice builds upon everything players loved about Salt and Sanctuary,” said James Silva, founder, Ska Studios. “Expect even more challenges to overcome both in single-player and online play when Salt and Sacrifice arrives on PC via the Epic Game Store, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 next year!”

Salt and Sacrifice will be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC exclusively on the Epic Games Store for USD $19.99 Early 2022 in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese.

From today until October 30, racing fans will be able to vie for pole position and win prizes in the LEGO® Technic™ McLaren Senna GTR by taking part in the first ever LEGO Technic McLaren Grand Prix event in an Asphalt game.

For the first time ever, supercar lovers, motorsports fans and LEGO builders alike can get behind the wheel of the LEGO Technic McLaren Senna GTR model in this action-packed collaboration between the LEGO Group, luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive and Gameloft for brands.

Playable on mobile, Nintendo Switch and PC.

The gamified LEGO Technic McLaren Senna GTR is packed with the same features and functions as its real-life counterpart, making it one of the most extreme contenders on the grid. The 830-piece design of the LEGO model has been recreated in meticulous detail in the digital world, including its V8 engine, moving pistons, beautiful aerodynamic curves, opening dihedral doors and a one-of-a-kind blue livery. Over 160,000 digital triangles were used to ensure no compromises when it comes to recreating the unrivalled style of the supercar.

“We are always looking to give our fans new ways to enjoy the LEGO Technic play experience,” said Niels Henrik Horsted, Head of LEGO Technic Products at the LEGO Group. “This collaboration gives our fans the chance to get behind the wheel of this one-of-a-kind model for themselves and take it for a spin. When we designed the LEGO Technic McLaren Senna GTR we pushed ourselves to the limit to do justice to the engineering excellence of McLaren Automotive, and we’re thrilled to be able to replicate it virtually in such a standout way with Gameloft. We can’t wait to see our fans on the track!”

“We’re thrilled to partner with the LEGO Group and McLaren Automotive to offer players and fans a new way to experience one of the most prestigious and famous supercars – albeit in a digital and block form!”, said Alexandre Tan, SVP Brand Partnerships & Advertising at Gameloft. “This in-game event shows Gameloft for brands illustrating how gaming can be the next level engagement tool for brands in a kid safe and respectful environment”

• FIFA is bullish and optimistic about its long-term future in gaming and eSports following a comprehensive and strategic assessment of the gaming and interactive entertainment market
• The future of gaming and eSports for football stakeholders must involve more than one party controlling and exploiting all rights

FIFA will adopt a new commercial positioning in gaming and eSports to ensure that it is best placed to make decisions that benefit all football stakeholders.

FIFA is bullish and excited about the future in gaming and eSports for football, and it is clear that this needs to be a space that is occupied by more than one party controlling all rights.

Technology and mobile companies are now actively competing to be associated with FIFA, its platforms, and global tournaments. 

Consequently, FIFA is engaging with various industry players, including developers, investors and analysts, to build out a long-term view of the gaming, eSports and interactive entertainment sector.

The outcome will ensure that FIFA has a range of suitable parties with specialist capabilities to actively shape the best possible experiences and offerings for fans and consumers.

Gaming and eSports are the fastest-growing media verticals on the planet, with new and diverse types of games launching continuously. It is therefore of crucial importance for FIFA and its stakeholders to maximise all future opportunities for football and gaming fans.

FIFA also has a duty to support its 211 member associations to fully capitalise on the inherent opportunities that have been emerging over the recent years. As part of this strategy, FIFA also commits to continuing to organise skill-based eSports tournaments under the umbrella of the recently launched FIFAe competition structure and consumer brand (www.fifa.gg).

The relationship and affinity that the gaming and eSports market has developed over time with the FIFA name clearly underscore that football-based gaming and the FIFA name are intrinsically intertwined.

Finally, FIFA has also determined that the overlaps between virtual sport and FIFA’s football competitions must be more closely aligned. In this respect, FIFA is excited about using the FIFA World Cup™ (with four billion viewers) and FIFA Women’s World Cup™ (with an audience of 1.2 billion) as platforms to launch and integrate exciting new games and eSports offerings.

Dovetail Games, developer and publisher of authentic sports simulation titles, are sharing a peek behind the curtain to reveal exciting new features coming to Bassmaster® Fishing 2022 ahead of its release on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4 home computer entertainment system, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, and Windows PC via Steam in North America and Europe on Oct. 28. Bassmaster® Fishing 2022 is available for pre-order now with a standard edition available for $39.99 / €34.99 / £29.99 and a Digital Deluxe Edition available for $44.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 with a 10% discount on all platforms* and will be available with Xbox Game Pass on launch.

Join Executive Producer Ben Gunstone, Studio Producer Desmond O’Conner, and Community Manager Benjamin Symons for a discussion about some of the work being done to make Bassmaster® Fishing 2022 the most authentic bass fishing experience possible. Featuring a fully in-depth career mode, players will begin their angling career in the College Series and then move up through the ranks in the Opens, Elite Series, and ultimately the Bassmaster Classic® as they strive to achieve angling immortality.

In addition to sharing more of the gear and simulation mechanics players will engage with through the career mode, the team also shared more information about the title’s multiplayer modes, including Bassmaster Royale, which all feature multiplayer cross-play on all platforms. This game mode will have up to 60 players go head-to-head to be the last angler standing in an intense 40-minute round of catching bass where players will need to stay above the cut line to avoid being eliminated.

The team took the opportunity to share their plans for post-launch support as well, with plans for additional DLC content including new fishing gear, anglers, and venues. A roadmap with new content, feature enhancements, quality of life improvements and more will be released later this year. The team is specifically looking to add additional character customization elements including beards and more diverse clothing to express each players individuality whether fishing solo or online with others.

Developed and published by Dovetail Games, Bassmaster® Fishing 2022will release on Oct. 28 in North America and Europe on the PS5™, PS4™ system, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One/Xbox One X, Windows PC via Steam, and Xbox Game Pass. For regular updates please visit www.bassmasterthegame.com.
