Cambridge, UK – September 8th, 2021 – Digital Matters Publishing and developer Redcatpig are excited to announce that their upcoming team-based online multiplayer vehicle combat game KEO will be launching into Steam Early Access on September 23rd for $19.99 (USD), following a series of open beta tests earlier this summer.
KEO is an explosive vehicle combat game that will see players face off against each other in two different 3v3 game modes, designed to test their skills in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Deathmatch mode tasks drivers with scoring the most points through taking down opponents, while Domination sees players battle to claim outposts across the map. Players will be able to unlock one of six vehicles, with more available to unlock using Scraps in-game, and they can pick from 24 weapons to bolster their arsenal.
New players will be taken through a tutorial designed to get them combat ready, and the game will support PlayStation, Xbox, and PC controllers as well as keyboard and mouse so players can choose to play whichever way suits them best.
During early access KEO will see regular additions to its content including maps, vehicles, weapons, and an extra game mode, as well as features like ranking and spectator mode. The game will also be optimised for ultra-widescreen before it’s full launch next year.

The $40,000 USD target was reached in a matter of days thanks in large part to overwhelming support from within Spiderweb’s community — with the total continuing to climb over the past few weeks. The project’s stretch goals include:

In Queen’s Wish 2: The Tormentor, you are the youngest child of Queen Sharyn. You are powerful royalty of the Empire of Haven. Your mother the Queen has fallen ill, and your enemies smell your weakness.
In the violent wilds of the Rokaj, rebels have tried to kill you. A rebellion is raging, and your mother demands that you stop it. Now you are trapped in high mountains, surrounded by angry armies and factions shouting for your support. Doom creeps ever closer, and the demands of your family are constant. They say you must conquer the Rokaj.
Will you? Or will you set it free? It is up to you.
Escape into an enormous fantasy world, where retro 80’s-style gameplay mixes with innovative design and storytelling. Explore an enormous outdoors and many towns and dungeons. Fight complex, elaborate turn-based battles. Outwit rival factions with cunning, diplomacy, or (if you choose) violence. In a unique game system, gain power by building new forts and filling them with industry.
Spiderweb Software is a small mom and pop game company, and we are asking our fans to help our new world live up to its potential. Thus, our Kickstarter. You can back our game, take part in designing it, and, if you ever pirated our games, you can purchase personalized absolution.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (September 8, 2021) – Wargaming, developer and publisher of the world’s most popular free to play naval combat game, World of Warships, has today launched a massive content update to celebrate its 6th anniversary. Update 0.10.8 brings the “6 Years of World of Warships” Collection, which comes with attractive rewards, alongside a brand-new wave of Transformers content. Furthermore, Dutch cruisers have been added as a new ship branch, while Soviet aircraft carriers begin their maiden voyage in early access, followed by a new temporary event that teaches players about the different experimental aircraft design schools.
Update 0.10.8: World of Warships Anniversary
Six Years of Warships To join the birthday celebrations, players can jump into the “6 Years of World of Warships” collection, and begin piecing together a giant 60-piece jigsaw puzzle, dedicated to the biggest events over the previous year. Pieces can be obtained from “6 years of World of Warships” special containers, which are available in the Armory in exchange for Festive Tokens. Players can also get containers by completing a special combat mission chain or with the new temporary Aircraft Bureaus Rivalry event. The reward for completing the collection will be a Supercontainer, 6x Gift containers, the “6 Years of World of Warships” festive flag and Festive Tokens can be exchanged in the Armory for themed permanent camouflages.
On top of that, players can look forward to special festive bonuses that can be earned by simply playing any Tier V ship or higher. Depending on ship tier players can obtain Supercontainers, Gift containers and Festive Tokens.
TRANSFORMERS, Warships in disguise! World of Warships has teamed up with Hasbro to announce the second part of their popular crossover event. To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the iconic animated film, THE TRANSFOMERS: THE MOVIE, Wargaming will be releasing a slew of new in-game content inspired by the legendary franchise.
Four new characters enter the fray in World of Warships. Beginning 24th September players will be able to lead Hot Rod, Grimlock, Starscream and Soundwave in the battle on the open seas. The collaboration includes animated permanent thematic camouflages, expandable camouflages, commanders with unique voiceovers, as well as patches and flags to display The Matrix of Leadership proudly.
Dutch Cruisers are ready to research Dutch Tier I–X cruisers are now available for all players to research, following a successful maiden voyage on Early Access. Setting sail from the historical Rotterdam port, these ships feature a new armament type – Airstrike, good concealment and maneuverability, as well as powerful guns and solid armor on high tiers.
Soviet CVs arrive in Early Access Soviet aircraft carriers Tier IV Komsomolets, Tier VI Serov, and Tier VIII Pobeda have all arrived in Early Access in Update 0.10.8. Featuring powerful squadrons which attack in a single strike, rocket boosters, and skip bombers, these ships are set to bring a powerful aerial threat to the seas! These ships can be obtained through a new temporary resource: Soviet Tokens. These are earned through participating in the Aircraft Bureaus Rivalry event, activating free daily bundles and random bundles, or in exchange for Community Tokens in the Armory.
We got a sailing convoy! Update 0.10.8 brings a brand new temporary battle type to World of Warships, based on real life events which have proven critical during 20th century conflicts — Convoy escort missions. Naval battles are often won or lost by defending or destroying cargo lanes, so players will be able to experience this conflict first hand. One team will need to escort a convoy of four bot ships that sail along a defined route, while the opposition team looks to prevent them from reaching their destination.

EXOR Studios is proud to announce that The Riftbreaker™ will launch on October 14th, 2021. The game will release simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for $29.99.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 8th, Szczecin, Poland.
Thanks to EXOR Studios’ partnership with Maximum Games, players around the world will also be able to own The Riftbreaker™ on a physical disc on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass on Day One for Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, and Cloud.
The Riftbreaker™ is running on EXOR Studios’ proprietary Schmetterling 2.0 engine which allows the game to take advantage of advanced raytracing techniques on both PC and consoles. Thanks to the use of AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution, the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 versions of the game are confirmed to be running at 4K resolution with raytracing effects enabled at up to 60 FPS. The Xbox Series S version of the game is confirmed to run at 4K resolution at up to 60 FPS without raytracing effects enabled.
The console versions of The Riftbreaker™ feature full mouse and keyboard support as well as enhanced gameplay through in-depth implementations of Impulse and Adaptive triggers as well as Haptic Feedback. Players will be able to feel the kickback from their weapons directly on their controller triggers and sense environmental effects like rain or radiation through haptic feedback.
As Captain Ashley S. Nowak, “the Riftbreaker,” you enter a one-way portal to Galatea 37, a distant planet at the far reaches of the Milky Way. Your purpose is to build and develop a base that will allow travel to and from Earth for further colonization. Ashley’s Mecha-Suit, which she calls “Mr. Riggs,” can withstand the harshest environmental conditions and has a full range of equipment for base construction, resource extraction, specimen gathering, and of course – combat. It is also capable of traveling through rifts that connect space across vast distances.
MAIN FEATURES:
CAMPAIGN – take on an epic journey across all the different biomes of Galatea 37. You will establish multiple persistent bases across the globe that will fuel your economy. Research alien substances and lifeforms, as well as fight hordes of alien creatures, clearly not happy with your interference in the natural order of the planet. The campaign spans multiple hours and offers a remarkable degree of freedom in a super detailed, procedurally generated world. You can decide on the order of your priorities and what technologies you want to use. You’re the only human there, after all.
SURVIVAL – your mission is to survive a set amount of time, fighting off increasingly difficult waves of enemy creatures. Each mission in the game is randomized, offering nearly endless replayability.
SANDBOX – if intense fight for survival is not your thing either, then try out the Sandbox mode, where we give you control over the entire game – including resources, enemy spawns, and weather conditions.
BASE BUILDING – Your task is to construct a two-way rift connected to Earth. This will be a very complex undertaking requiring enormous amounts of energy. Simple solar collectors and a few tons of steel will not be enough. You will need to build up an intricate chain of mines, refineries, power plants, and research facilities to complete this mission.
EXPLORATION – Galatea 37 is an unknown planet in the Sycorax belt of the Milky Way galaxy. Remote surveys have detected that it is inhabitable and perfect for colonization. The planet is full of rare minerals and substances that can be found scattered across the globe. Various biomes will surprise you with unknown fauna and flora, as well as harsh weather conditions. Construct local outposts in resource-rich locations to transport the required resources using rift technology.
DEFENSE – Your presence on this planet will not go unnoticed! As you build up your industry and disrupt the natural order, the planet will start to see you as a threat. Build up your defenses. Construct walls, barriers, and defense towers as the attacks get stronger with every passing day. You will face thousands of hostile creatures trying to eliminate your presence.
HACK, SLASH, SHOOT – Mr. Riggs can be equipped with powerful weapons and abilities that will allow you to take on the largest of beasts. You will need to be ready to face lots of hostile alien creatures as you explore the planet.
GATHER SAMPLES AND STRANGE ARTIFACTS – Felled beasts will drop valuable research specimens as well as rare resources. Use everything you can gather to research and craft new technologies, buildings, weapons, and equipment. You can also scout the terrain using your sensors and dig for treasure buried underground.
RESEARCH – Use your gathered samples to research new technologies that will help you build up your base, improve your defenses, develop new blueprints for your Mecha-Suit, or improve existing technologies.
CRAFT – Mr. Riggs is fully customizable and upgradeable. Use the blueprints that you’ve researched to craft new parts and weapons. Utilizing better materials in the crafting process will result in gear with improved properties. Each crafted item has unique properties.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR GAMEPLAY – The Riftbreaker™’s gameplay can be customized to fit your playstyle. You can change the frequency of enemy attacks as well as their strength and numbers, resource abundance, weather events, enemy damage, and tons of other settings. There are also multiple difficulty presets to suit the needs of both hardcore strategy players as well as those that want a laid-back base-building experience.
INTERACTIVE STREAMING – The Riftbreaker™ has built-in integration with all the most popular streaming services. The stream’s audience can actively participate in the game through multiple options, e.g., by voting to send waves of new enemies, donating resources, or spawning environmental disasters like a tornado.
THE SCHMETTERLING ENGINE – This game is built using the latest iteration of EXOR Studios’ in-house developed Schmetterling 2.0 engine, which was previously used to create X-Morph: Defense™ and Zombie Driver™. We pride ourselves in delivering fluid gameplay and utilizing all your hardware’s capabilities: uncapped frame rate, support for widescreen monitors, customizable controls, and more.
COMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT – If you’ve already read everything up to this point, then you might be interested in helping us shape the game. Please get in touch with us via our official Discord server or any other of our social media channels. We’ll be sharing inside info about the progress of the game’s development, and we’d love to hear your feedback. Please come and help us make The Riftbreaker™ the game YOU want to play!
The Riftbreaker™ is scheduled to launch on October 14, 2021. The game is coming to PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be released at a later date.

Work together to outrun ravenous rats, joyride a dirt-bike and even DJ at the office party in Frontier Foundry’s Struggling, available now.
Cambridge, UK – 8 September, 2021. Frontier Foundry, the publishing label of Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, ‘Frontier’) today announced that award-winning co-op platformer Struggling, developed by the Montreal-based studio Chasing Rats Games, is now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Players will join our fleshy hero, Troy, on his epic quest to seek out legendary Abomination Gods. Choose to tackle the adventure solo or, for the ultimate struggle, bring in a local co-op partner and independently control our outrageous champion’s limbs.
With a unique attention-grabbing art style that fuses elements of comedy and horror, Struggling immerses players in a hilarious but unsettling world; escape from sinister labs, scale gigantic canyons and even float through feverish hyper-dreams. Along the way, our loose-limbed protagonist will need to solve increasingly challenging physics-based puzzles using momentum and inertia to vault pools of unmentionable waste, operate a concerning amount of heavy machinery and explore every crevice in the search for stylish collectable hats.
Troy isn’t destined to simply wave his arms about wildly. As the saga unfolds, our champion of the bizarre will mutate as any self-respecting experiment should, unlocking a range of game-changing powers to navigate increasingly tricky environments. These new skills include time-slowing to dodge fast-moving hazards (or grab onto them, why not enjoy the ride after all?), detachable arms for those tight spaces, and the ability to graft his appendages to the environment to operate switches or simply give himself a hand!
Struggling is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam. For more information, visit Struggling’s official website at struggling-game.com. For media assets, visit Frontier.co.uk/media.
