Free Update for Owners of Marvel’s Avengers Also Brings Increase to Power-Level Cap and New Shipments System

SYDNEY (November 5, 2021) – Today, SQUARE ENIX® announced that Marvel’s Avengers patch 2.2 will launch on November 30^th, bringing with it an entirely new four-player Raid to take on the villain Klaw as well as a new Hero exclusive to PlayStation, Spider-Man.
 
In addition to the Raid and Hero, the update brings with it several new and improved systems, including:

• Shipments – The Shipments feature provides an entirely new path to earn coveted cosmetics, resources, and other items strictly through gameplay, a highly requested option from the Marvel’s Avengers community. Each Shipment costs 500 Units (the currency earned while playing the game) and pulls from a collection of nearly 250 possible items, with a small chance of rewarding a premium Outfit unavailable via any other means of acquisition. But luck isn’t required to get the Outfit; players will automatically receive it after claiming 100 Shipments.
• Power-Level Increase – The maximum Power Level achievable will increase from 150 to 175. Acquiring the best gear requires players to complete the game’s toughest challenge: the new four-player Klaw Raid: Discordant Sound.
• Gear Upgrading – Players will be able to recycle gear of a higher power level to upgrade their current gear to match the higher-power level of the consumed item, with few exceptions.

 
The November 30^th update adds to a game already packed with content, bringing new features and continuing the game’s story through the ongoing Avengers Initiative. Marvel’s Avengers now offers several campaigns, nine playable heroes (ten on PlayStation platforms), and endless multiplayer co-op action for up to four players.
 
About the New Raid: Discordant Sound
Raids in Marvel’s Avengers are one of the truest tests of end-game teamwork. They require advanced tactics and the full cooperation of a four-player team equipped with the highest-end gear.
 
Following the events of the War for Wakanda Expansion, the sonic monster Klaw has returned to the Vibranium Mound to destroy Wakanda. Black Panther and the Avengers must stop him before he can succeed!
 
About Spider-Man and the With Great Power Hero Event
The legendary web slinger Spider-Man will come exclusively to PlayStation players in the November 30^th update along with the Spider-Man: With Great Power Hero Event. Spider-Man’s high-flying acrobatics bring an entirely new way to experience the game either solo or with friends, and his unique movement and combat abilities are sure to be a great addition to any Strike Team taking on missions in the Avengers Initiative.
 
Players will experience Spider-Man’s story through unlockable challenges woven throughout the Avengers Initiative. Peter Parker learns of a deadly new threat and must partner with the Avengers to stop AIM from acquiring technology that could make their synthoid army unstoppable. Insistent on keeping his identity hidden, Parker forms a tentative friendship with Ms. Marvel and Black Widow and must struggle with the new dynamics of working with a team. Will he join up full time with the Avengers, or stay independent in his fight against AIM?
 
About Marvel’s Avengers
Marvel’s Avengers offers players a truly rich experience and combines the single player focused Reassemble story campaign with the ongoing Avengers Initiative’s missions, which take the Avengers around the world and beyond. Each mission in the Reassemble campaign is designed to showcase one or more hero’s unique abilities, while the Avengers Initiative missions can be played solo with your own custom AI team or with a group of up to four players* as any Hero in the player’s roster.
 
Marvel’s Avengers continues to expand over time with the addition of new features, mission types, regions, items, and more delivered to players at no additional cost for players who own the core game.

Marvel’s Avengers is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and Stadia.

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’ve come a long way since Slime-san and to launch such a large game on so many platforms, alongside Playtonic no less, gets us very emotional. We’re very proud of this game, of this world we created, and we hope you have a good time with it!”

“This is the one we’ve been really excited about for the longest time and was actually one of the first titles that made us consider creating our own publishing label to help teams like Fabraz do what they do so well” added Gavin Price, CEO of Playtonic Games and Playtonic Friends “There’s just so much that we love about Demon Turf – from the art style and incredibly tight controls, to the in-built options for content creators and speed runners – for a game with such inspiration from classic platformers, it really feels so modern and fresh.  We can’t wait to see what the community make of it”

Demon Turf launches today on PC (Steam,Epic Games Store and GOG), Nintendo Switch, the Xbox family of consoles and Playstation 4 & 5 priced at £19.99, € 21.99 & $24.99
