First Summoner Showdown Qualifiers Now LIVE in MARVEL Contest of Champions

After much anticipation from players across the globe, Kabam is thrilled to announce the first Qualifier Round of Summoner Showdown is now live in the hit mobile game, MARVEL Contest of Champions! For those who remember Summoner Showdown in 2019 and 2020, The Battlerealm is back in search of the strongest and most skilled Summoner the world has to offer! 

Starting today, players will have fifteen days to compete in three Qualifier Rounds, fighting arduous bosses, and climbing to the top of their regional leaderboard. The nine best Summoners will make it to the Semi-Finals and Finals, pushing the limits of their skills and knowledge and compete to become the Ultimate Champion.

  • Gold / Silver / Bronze Difficulty
    • The Gold difficulty is meant for the toughest Summoners, meaning they must be Level 60 and Thronebreaker in-game (i.e. completed Act 6 Chapter 4 “Succession”, and Ranked Up 1x 6-Star Champion to Rank 3). To give our Summoners as much equal opportunity as possible, they can only use 5-Star Champions available on their roster to fight the Bosses. Upon the completion of each Qualifier, potential winners will be contacted to move on to the Semi-Finals. One Summoner from each region (Americas, Europe & Russia, Asia & Oceania) will be selected for the Semi-Finals each Qualifier Week.
    • If you’re not ready to compete for Gold, feel free to try the Silver and Bronze Difficulties, which are open to all Summoners, no matter their progression or level! These difficulties will be toned down challenges against the same fearsome Bosses. They’ll be able to use a team of five Champions with the ability to use boosts and consumables in order to defeat their opponent!
  • Qualifier Dates
  • Qualifier 1: Monday August 16 @10AM PT – Saturday August 21 @10AM PT – Nameless King Groot
  • Qualifier 2: Saturday August 21 @10AM PT – Thursday August 26 @10AM PT – Nameless Scarlet Witch (Classic)
  • Qualifier 3: Thursday August 26 @10AM PT – Tuesday August 31 @10AM PT – Nameless Hyperion

Thank you!

Tropico 6, Port Royale 4 and more discounted at the Kalypso Store

Seattle, Wash. – August 16, 2021 – Publisher Kalypso Media turns 15 today!

With steady growth since its inception in 2006, Kalypso Media has gone from strength to strength – even after a bank employee, when asked for a start-up loan, stated, “There’s no economic future in computer games.” This has long been a source of many smiles and in the last 15 years, clearly disproven.

With more than 150 employees at 10 locations throughout 5 countries (Germany, UK, USA, Japan and France), a healthy turnover and a bevy of successful series such as TropicoDungeonsRailway Empire and Patrician, Kalypso Media has made a name for itself as a strategy and simulation specialist in the international games industry.

Dr. Anika Thun, International Marketing Director, explains, “It’s not just the numbers and growth that make for success. At Kalypso, colleagues of different genders, orientations and ethnicities work together in the spirit of trust. Female empowerment and inclusion, with women and team members from different backgrounds in senior positions, have been a staple at Kalypso for 15 years and we continue to live and implement these tenets.”


“I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved alongside our employees. Despite many obstacles and setbacks, we have all worked together with enthusiasm and a willingness to build a very healthy company that has developed massively in terms of revenue, employee growth and company value, especially over the last 5 years,” adds founder and CEO Simon Hellwig.


Those interested in learning more about the company’s founding history can check out the 15 years of Kalypso category on the blog, as well as the Kalypso social media channels in the coming days.

Metroidvania “boomer shooter” Chains of Fury will launch its Kickstarter campaign in Q4, 2021. Watch the teaser that would make Duke himself proud!

Developed by Cobble Games, featured by Realms Deep, and coming to PC, Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation, Chains of Fury is a bloody, fast-paced, retro looter-shooter with a retro vibe and comic book visuals. Fans of the ’90’s classics like Duke NukemQuakeUnreal Tournament, and Doom will feel right at home.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 16th, Warsaw, Poland.

If you’re looking for another “save the world and become a hero,” copy-paste story, move along, as there’s nothing to see for you here. Because here, you’ll get the chance to become the meanest bastard this world has ever seen, whose testosterone can only be measured by the number of bullets you fire at those standing in your way. That’s right, you’re a hired gun, and your former clients put you in prison instead of paying you. That will be their last mistake. You’ll find them, and you WILL get your money back. No world-saving, no zero-to-hero bullsh*t, no mercy. It’s nothing personal – it’s just business.

Add the game to your Wishlist on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1121320/Chains_of_Fury/), so you don’t miss the news about the exact Kickstarter launch date.

Blow a wall and then shoot the suckers behind it. No limitations, just adrenaline rushing in your veins and one question ringing in your head – are you ready to put Duke himself to shame?

IT’S TIME TO KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS!

  • Destructible walls. Bash, jump, demolish and start mayhem in six different worlds filled with destructible elements of the environment. Forget about keys or lockpicks – tear apart and crush instead.
  • Hidden secrets. Loads of easter eggs and secrets are waiting to be found.
  • Retro inspired. Experience the bloody retro vibe you remember from ’90’s classics like Duke NukemQuakeUnreal Tournament, and Doom but in a modern shooter.
  • Comic book visual style. Dive into a game world that looks and feels just like a comic book.
  • Dark humor. Forget the pompous pep-talk protagonists that modern shooters deliver these days and enjoy punchlines that will remind you of the times when FPS games made you smile.
  • Split-screen multiplayer. Play with your friend or against your foe.
  • Guns, guns, and more guns! Lots of crazy weapons at your disposal, from shotguns and machine guns to a grappling hook, shrink ray, and many more.

WW2: Bunker Simulator is coming to Steam Early Access on September 1st this year. Get ready to face the Nazi invasion!

Soldiers of the legendary 101st Airborne Division are about to experience the biggest challenge of their life. After landing at the Normandy coast and taking over the Nazi bunker, they now must defend it, no matter the cost.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 16th, Warsaw, Poland.

Join your brothers in arms and try to hold your position. Make good use of the machine gun being at your disposal and keep the enemies at bay. Engage in one-on-one fights with opponents that manage to breakthrough. In between attacks try to scavenge for supplies, eat, rest, and prepare for another enemy charge. There is no escape from this bunker, so either defend it until there is no Nazi standing or die trying.

Add the game to your Wishlist on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1155870/WW2_Bunker_Simulator/) where you can also find the free game demo.

ABOUT WW2: BUNKER SIMULATOR

WW2: Bunker Simulator is a unique mix of FPS, action, survival, and simulation game. Try to make it through each day while at the same time following orders from Command and fulfilling every military task they throw at you. Your fight will not only be with restless Nazis attacking when you least expect them, but also with hunger, thirst, exhaustion, and sleep deprivation. Take care of yourself as much as your brothers-in-arms to make sure they will come to the rescue when you need them most. Scavenge for supplies, destroy military targets, fight back enemy waves, send encrypted supply drop requests, and do all you can to hold your ground. History will judge you, but until then, make sure that everyone knows you are in charge of this bunker.

WW2: BUNKER SIMULATOR – MAIN FEATURES

  • Take care of your basic survival needs. You are only human, and as such, you need to rest, eat, and regain your energy to be able to perform tasks entrusted to you by Command. There is a lot to be done, but the enemy will not wait for you to get ready. Make sure to keep the balance between taking care of yourself and taking care of the mission.
  • Remember that nobody wins the war alone. Command your brothers-in-arms, and do not forget about their needs. They know much more than just shooting and can support you when you need them most.
  • Scavenge for supplies and manage them wisely. You are on a battlefield, and that means shortcomings in every area, whether it is food, meds, or ammo. You cannot afford to ignore defeated enemies that may carry valuable items. Search them, and then ration whatever you are able to find.
  • Do not be afraid to call for backup. If all fails, and you find yourself in a situation where you do not have enough bandages, food, or ammunition, send an encrypted message to Command with a request for a supply drop. Then, anticipate enemy plans by decrypting any messages you receive with your supplies.
  • Destroy military targets. Follow Command and make good use of your machine gun, anti-aircraft gun, or even an anti-tank cannon.
  • Immerse yourself in the World War II setting. The realistic recreation of the war bunker’s construction and weapons used is designed to help ensure the most immersive feel possible.

WW2: Bunker Simulator is being developed by BEPLAYER and Art Games Studio and will launch on Steam Early Access thanks to Art Games Studio and Gaming Factory, on September 1st this year.

Stardeus Kickstarter campaign is now live!

Sci-fi colony management sim Stardeus has launched for the stars with its Kickstarter campaign, live now.

Solo developer, Kodo Linija, is excited to announce their sci-fi colony sim Stardeus has launched its Kickstarter campaign. Stardeus takes inspiration from titles like RimWorld, Factorio, Dwarf Fortress, Oxygen Not Included, and FTL to deliver the depth of a colony management sim rarely seen among the stars. Just imagine if all these titles played out on a (face-hugger-infested) spaceship.

Stardeus Kickstarter trailer:

In Stardeus, you play as an immortal AI who has an army of robots and drones at their disposal. Like all colony sim games, how you play Stardeus is entirely up to you. Grow a human colony on your ship, sure. Start a robot uprising, why not. You can even choose to turn all your crew into human batteries to satisfy your greed for electricity. The stars really are the limit when it comes to the open-ended gameplay of Stardeus.

Embedded in every mode and base you build is the focus on AI storytelling. This off-the-cuff approach to narrative will make every situation on a ship unique to the player’s own personal experience. This storytelling can result in eye-watering comedic moments from the interaction of crew members to face-palming fires that destroy half your space empire. Nothing in Stardeus is a scripted story, it’s your story and your rules.

The Kickstarter for Stardeus is live now. A playable demo is available to everyone through both Steam and itch.io, offering up to 2 hours of gameplay. There is instant alpha access available to backers, which offers around 15 hours of gameplay. However, there is no time lock on the alpha access so players can build until their hearts are content.
