WayForward and 13AM Games Unleash New Details for Dawn of the Monsters

It takes monsters to stop monsters in this titanic co-op beat-’em-up

Valencia, Calif. – November 4, 2021 – Independent game studio WayForward, in conjunction with developer 13AM Games, is thrilled to reveal ferocious new details about the upcoming giant-monster beat-’em-up, Dawn of the Monsters. Featuring four awe-inspiring playable behemoths and more than 35 missions, Dawn of the Monsters will deliver hours of city-smashing, kaiju-bashing, side-scrolling action for one or two players, and is scheduled to arrive on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in the first half of 2022. A new trailer showing the game in action can be seen below

Developed by 13AM Games and published by WayForward, Dawn of the Monsters enlists players in DAWN (Defense Alliance Worldwide Network), an elite organization created to stop giant, invading beasts known as Nephilim. As members of DAWN, players will take control of four titans of their own, each offering unique moves and abilities: Megadon, the enormous fire-breathing lizard; colossal crustacean Ganira, capable of summoning minions; Aegis Prime, a giant superhero with incredible combo capabilities; and Tempest Galahad, a massive mech specializing in long-range electrical attacks.

Each playable monstrosity has a variety of Rage skills (including some that inflict elemental status damage), as well as meter-based Cataclysm Attacks and brutal Execution finishers. And when that isn’t enough, you can rip a building out of the ground and use it to pound the Nephilim into the dirt.

More than 35 missions will take players around the globe to fully destructible locations in Canada, Egypt, Japan, and beyond, where they’ll tear through enemy hordes, obliterate monster nests, battle gargantuan bosses, and earn DNA augments that can be used to power-up their stats and abilities.

The awesome action is supported by a team of all-star talent. In addition to the giant-monster enthusiasts at 13AM Games, the game features kaiju designs by legendary Godzilla character creator Shiji Nishikawa and acclaimed Godzilla comic book artist Matt Frank, as well as artwork by renowned illustrator EJ Su (Transformers, Rise of Ultraman) and a voice cast that includes AmaLee (Attack on Titan), Cristina Valenzuela (Shantae and the Seven Sirens, RWBY), Xander Mobus (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), and Patrick Seitz (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), among others.

Take control of the horde in the zombie RTS Too Many Humans

Play as waves of undead and destroy humanity in RealityZ’s brand new episodic strategy title

Lyon, France – 4 November 2021 – RealityZ, the French video game studio, has announced the release of Too Many Humans, the real-time strategy game where players take control of a zombie horde to destroy humanity and save the Earth. Too Many Humans will be divided into three episodes, the first of which is playable today, while the next two will be available in 2022.

Kill the Humans, Save the World
In Too Many Humans, Gaia, the goddess of nature, calls upon her brother Phtisis to destroy humanity, whose polluting presence is harming Earth. Phtisis raises an army of living dead to carry out his mission and preserve the planet. Players will harness the immeasurable strength of their undead horde and discover new mutations to power up their legion of the living dead.

Tower Defence in Reverse
Too Many Humans promises a strategy experience that innovates on the genre’s typical format – This time, you are the threat!  The gameplay of Too Many Humans focuses on three main mechanics:

  • Collect resources: In order to feed the horde, players will have to ’forcefully recruit’ new troops by using humans to enlarge their ranks. This “flesh” resource that players recover can then be used to create more zombies to overwhelm humanity’s strongholds.
  • Mutate your zombies to adapt your tactics: The mutation mechanic gives players flexibility in their tactical approach. Some zombies will be more resistant, others capable of causing explosions, some will collect resources by consuming whatever gets in their way, be it humans, cars, or lampposts.
  • Control the battlefield: Players will have to manage their resources, special troops, and enemies to make the best decisions during battle. By doing so and reacting to the challenges of each level, their relentless zombie waves will carry them to victory. In the case of defeat, players will be able to raise their army of the dead again and adapt their strategy to defeat the last remnants of humanity.

“After spending what could be considered a lifetime playing Zerg in the various Starcraft games, I wanted to recreate the feeling of the horde coming and going and harassing the opponent to the point of exhaustion, while making the control easier and more intuitive.” Says Julien Millet, creative director at RealityZ. “I hope that players will find this experience in Too Many humans,”

This first episode features seven action-packed levels that will allow players to travel across the United States to spread chaos and desolation. The second and third episodes, scheduled for February and June 2022 respectively, will add to the number of levels and bring new gameplay mechanics.

Too Many Humans – Episode 1 is now available on Steam for £5.79 / $7.99 / 6,59€

About RealityZ:
Realityz is a French independent game development studio, based in Lyon, France, created more than 7 years ago.  The studio has worked with many prestigious partners such as Asmodée Digital, Arkane, Mi-Clos or Tactical Adventures. After successful experiences in the world of virtual reality games with the production of games such as Monsterplant vs Bowling or Beatblocks, RealityZ is back with Too Many Humans, their first strategy game, a genre that has always fascinated the studio’s team.

We’re looking forward to players exploring this iconic British railway in Train Sim World 2.”

With the West Cornwall Local route, operators choose how they want to play; drive trains across the 44-mile line from Penzance to St. Austell, ride around as a passenger across the St. Ives branch, complete the newly added route tasks, or simply pick a vantage point and watch the action unfold.
