EggNut and Raw Fury’s critically acclaimed role-playing adventure is now available on Xbox and PlayStation

STOCKHOLM – Oct. 28, 2021 – Developer EggNut and publisher Raw Fury have today released the post-noir role-playing detective adventure game Backbone for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4.

Backbone puts players in the shoes of raccoon private investigator Howard Lotor as he is pulled into a case unlike any he’s experienced before. Set in a dystopian Vancouver, British Columbia, Backbone boasts beautifully rendered high-resolution pixel art.

In addition to its console debut, Backbone has received a huge international localization across all formats, including Japanese, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, and Spanish. This update includes incorporating a language-switching function in-game, allowing players to assign a dedicated switching key-bind. They can now select two languages in the settings menu and instantly switch back and forth between them. This distinctive feature was derived from developer EggNut’s collective experience of learning other languages through TV shows, films, and video games.

And with Halloween almost upon us, PC players can grab Backbone for 25% off starting today until November 1 on Steam and November 3 on GOG.com! A variety of performance and stability improvements have also been rolled out for the PC version of Backbone.

Build a Strong Nation Through the Politics System in DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires, Hitting North America Feb. 15, 2022

Procure Resources, Recruit Officers, and Utilize Secret Plans to Build the Nation of Your Dreams!

BURLINGAME, Calif. – Oct. 28, 2021 – It’s one thing to defeat an enemy through sheer force. Quite another to defeat them through political manipulation and intrigue. KOEI TECMO America and developer Omega Force revealed today even more details behind the political curtain of DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires, a strategic battle experience poised to deliver action both on the battlefield and in the war room, as players vie for control of ancient China. The highly-anticipated title will release in North America on Feb. 15, 2022 for the Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, Windows PC via Steam®, PlayStation®4, and digitally on PlayStation®5*.

DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires adds tactical elements to the 1 vs. 1,000 action of KOEI TECMO’s revered DYNASTY WARRIORS series, enabling gamers to use the Politics System to their advantage in order to achieve greatness throughout their quest to conquer the map. In order to strengthen the military through the use of politics, players will be able to execute domestic affairs commands in order to procure the resources necessary for battles, such as gold, food, and troops. Players will also be able to recruit and hire new officers by conducting political commands, stealing valuable officers like Zhang He from a rival kingdom. Different from DW8 Empires, however, is the fact that only officers whom players assign to a certain town can participate in an invasion battle from or a defensive battle at that town, therefore, it will be more effective to recruit as many officers as possible in order to gain an advantage.

Earning the trust of these officers is also vitally important. When players have earned the trust of officers, officers will propose a variety of secret plans while players are preparing for battle. If players use the secret plan an officer suggests, they can further increase the trust of that officer. This trust pays off on the battlefield, as typically during battle, players can only give orders directly to officers who are lower in rank. However, if they have earned enough trust, players can then give orders to officers who are higher in rank. Ally officers will also conduct commands. If players execute the same command of an officer, they can activate a coordination bonus. The higher the trust, the greater the effect, and special conversations can be activated. 

In addition, a new strategic element, ‘territory stroll’, has been implemented, enabling players to explore China while at the same time deepening relationships with officers. By interacting with officers, players will be able to earn their trust, seeing a different side of each character through interactions that include dining and fulfilling special requests. Players will also be able to recruit unaffiliated officers during strolls, and there are special unaffiliated officers that can be recruited only after the player has taken a stroll. While strolling, players will even be able to take photos in the familiar DW9 Photo Mode, allowing fans to designate everything from camera angles and time of day to the weather in every breathtaking shot.

Adding to the heightened look of the characters throughout Photo Mode and beyond is the new ability to layer armor on top of clothing in the character editor. Previously, armor and clothes were of one set, and there were separate informal clothes. However, in DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires, armor can now be placed on top of clothes, meaning that, in battle, officers will wear armor, but depending on the setting, armor can be removed and informal clothes can be seen in special events such as a stroll or a wedding.

*By purchasing the digital or physical PlayStation®4 versions of DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires, you can receive an upgrade to the digital PlayStation®5 version of DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires at no additional cost.

FARMING SIMULATOR 22 WELCOMES PLAYERS TO THE MIDWEST WITH NEW TRAILER

In less than four weeks, Farming Simulator 22 invites players to build their farm in one of three distinct settings. Developer and publisher GIANTS Software releases a new trailer and impressions to welcome soon to-be farmers to Elmcreek.

Creating big US farming operations
Elmcreek is inspired by the North American landscape in the Midwest. Most noticeable is the idyllic out-of town charm, with a gas station, various small businesses, residential areas, even a baseball stadium, and a bowling center spread across the land. Farmers start with a piece of land in the center, allowing them to spread out all over the map.

Over 80 fields in various shapes and sizes are predefined – with the option to create more. Also, thanks to the new production chains, players can extend their operation with various factories to create a whole business empire. In (cross-platform) multiplayer, multiple farmers occupy different locations on the map to complete each other.

Discovering big rocks and hidden caves
Besides agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry, Elm creek has a lot more to offer to its farmers due to its unique landscape. Players can discover a huge canyon with a hidden cave between big rocks, embedded seamlessly into the landscape. Increases and decreases in elevation of the land also allow for beautiful sightseeing spots, railways, rivers, and streams that wind themselves through the scenery.

Farming Simulator 22 releases on November 22nd for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Stadia. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more info.

With Only a Flashlight and the Camera Obscura In-Hand, Will You Survive the Mountain of Death?

Hertfordshire, 28^th October 2021 – KOEI TECMO Europe invites players to explore the haunted Mt. Hikami today with the launch of their long-awaited Japanese-horror adventure title, PROJECT ZERO: MAIDEN OF BLACK WATER, available digitally for Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam®. This enhanced version of the title celebrates the series’ 20th anniversary and includes enhanced visuals, a brand-new Photo Mode, and a selection of new costumes and accessories for the three protagonists. Those who purchase the game within the first two weeks from launch will be entitled to a special Ryza costume – inspired by the one featured in the first Atelier Ryza title – allowing Yuri to don the popular alchemist’s outfit and hat.

PROJECT ZERO: MAIDEN OF BLACK WATER’s narrative unfolds on the eerie Mt. Hikami, infamously known as the ‘mountain of death’, where bizarre and unfortunate occurrences take place. The water on this mountain is believed to house spirits, and there is a teaching from the religion born on this mountain that “humans are born from water and return to it at the end of their lives”. As a result, those looking for death venture up the mountain to experience their last moments when they come in contact with the mountain’s water – believing it to be the proper way to end their lives. The story follows three characters drawn to the mountain: Yuri Kozukata, Ren Hojo, and Miu Hinasaki – whose stories are interwoven in a mysterious and dream-like tale.

Players will only be equipped with a flashlight and a mysterious camera – the Camera Obscura – throughout their adventure, with the Camera Obscura featuring the ability to repel vengeful ghosts. With the camera equipped, players can snap photos using either button controls or motion controls, lining up the viewfinder over the spirits. Once the ghost is clearly in frame, taking the photo will repel the spirits and cause them to release Spirit Fragments, and continuing to capture images of the ghost and the fragments within the same frame will unleash a high-damage ‘Shutter Chance’ attack. To inflict even more damage, players can wait until the last second when a ghost attacks and the viewfinder glows red to unleash a ‘Fatal Frame’, an attack that not only delivers powerful damage to the hostile spirits, but also triggers ‘Fatal Time’ which grants players the ability to take photos continuously without needing to re-load film for a brief period of time. Throughout the story the Camera Obscura can be upgraded with stronger lenses and different film types, allowing players to stand a better chance against the mountain’s malevolent spirits as they unravel the mystery behind the haunting.

Discover and play in a world of secrets, dungeons and dramatic choices that lead to yet unrevealed finales

Sydney, AU – October 28^th, 2021 – Disciples: Liberation is launching physically today in Australia, giving players the opportunity to explore the breathing, vivid world of Nevendaar – and journey through the mystery and political intrigue of this dark fantasy strategy RPG. Launched by publisher Kalypso Media and developer Frima Studio, Disciples: Liberation is available on the PlayStation Store, PC and Xbox – with players now able to enjoy the game’s 80-hours of gameplay filled with the Elven Alliance, powerful magic, battles, Undead Hordes, dragons, Legions of the Damned and forged alliances.

Players follow the story of Avyanna, a child of two worlds – yet part of none – on a quest to explore a war-torn world. Starting as an unknown and petty mercenary, her quest will lead players through sorrow and bloodshed before she eventually gains control of a mighty army, ready to challenge fate. Along the way, she will be challenged to make many a difficult choice, from selecting companions to navigating romantic encounters. It’s up to the player to decide what sort of leader she will become. With her army, which can be recruited from over 50 units, players will fight complex turn-based battles against beastly creatures, in which only shrewd tactics will lead to victory. Avyanna’s motto will serve players well: ‘Regret later. Act now.’

Kalypso Media Producer Florian Treppke says, “Players can now seize their destiny, align with factions, choose companions and discover how their choices will make a difference in not only the gameplay but on Avyanna herself and Yillian, with the ultimate goal of liberating the fate of Nevendaar.”

Frima Studio Game Designer Eric Latouche teases, “While Avyanna begins as a petty mercenary, she doesn’t stay a mercenary for long. Players will discover how as a Nephilim, she possesses Twilight powers, so-called for the ability to conjure both the dark and the light. This grants her access to a long-forgotten angelic city named Yillian.”

Louis Lamarche, Frima Studio Creative Director adds, “For those who have followed along in our journey, they may know we’ve previously mentioned the five endings led by her choices. Well, we’ve held something back for players to discover only after they play through the game. We’re looking forward to feedback as all gets revealed!”

Features

• 80+ hour single-player campaign: experience a dark fantasy epic over three acts, with more than 270 quests and objectives, and 5 unique endings
• Explore a war-torn overworld: journey through 4 diverse environments – from luscious woodlands to fiery volcanic plains and icy tundra – and unearth the secrets hidden within the land
• Journey together: join forces with 4 in-game factions – from proud elven clans to remorseless undead hordes, each with their own motivations and gameplay incentives
• Write your own story: pick from 4 uniquely skilled classes and define your place in the world, recruiting others to take up arms for your cause
• Build a base: take on quests for precious resources and use political savvy to build a place of planning and sanctuary
• Fight for your life: recruit 50+ units and build an army best suited to your play style whilst honing both steel and spell in intricate-turned based combat
• Challenge deadly bosses: pit your party against horrific monsters and beasts, each requiring a unique strategy
• Choice is everything: let your decisions guide your fate and directly influence what sort of leader you become
• Fight your friends: put forth the ultimate challenge and battle for supremacy in 2-player online skirmishes
