Action RPG Hindsight 20/20 Launches onto Next-Gen, PC 9 September

AAA Veterans at Triple-I Games to Release Debut Indie Title on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC

AUSTIN, Texas – 22 July 2021 – Hindsight 20/20 – Wrath of the Raakshasa, the action-RPG with morality-based decisions from the BioWare, ArenaNet, and Sucker Punch veterans at Triple-I Games, takes players on an epic journey full of difficult decisions on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows via Steam on Thursday, 9 September. 

Young one-armed warrior Jehan stands between two wildly different worlds. Growing up in the kingdom of Champaner, he learned to abhor violence. He chose pacifism whenever possible, at worst using a stun baton in self-defense. That was before his father’s murder, before the virus started turning Champaner’s citizens into bloodthirsty Raakshasas. Now Jehan finds himself at the crossroads of fate itself, and his decisions will shape the future of the entire world.

Mold the future, one choice at a time. Uphold Champaner’s values with a stun rod in Merciful combat, or embrace the sweet finality of sharpened steel in Ruthless battle. Wield special abilities from throwing the sword like a boomerang to stunning entire crowds of enemies. Confront bosses reacting to Merciful and Ruthless combat differently, effectively creating two different encounters. 

Jehan’s actions — combat, dialogue, even who he chooses to help and when — alter how passerbys perceive him throughout his journey. What may seem like the “right” path early on can have unexpected implications further down the road, leading to 10 different endings. Explore a gorgeous watercolor world blending magic and technology in a highly divergent story encouraging multiple playthroughs to see all of the different possibilities.

On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Hindsight 20/20 runs at 4K/60FPS with improved post-processing effects like light bloom and ambient occlusion. The PlayStation 5 version provides a more immersive experience via the DualShock’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. 

“Hindsight was developed around our custom-built Experience Engine that grants players deeper choices and consequences,” said Hemanshu Chhabra, creative director at Triple-I Games. “We don’t want our dilemmas to be black and white, and we hope our game makes you carefully consider your actions when it releases in September.”

Hindsight 20/20 will be available in English on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox One, and Windows via Steam on Thursday, 9 September.

About Triple-I Studios

Consisting of veterans from BioWare, ArenaNet, Sucker Punch Studios, and Amazon Games Studios, Triple-I Games came together when Hemanshu Chhabra came to his friends with a vision: to make a game that would help a younger, self-critical version of himself understand what “hindsight 20/20” really means.

First New IP in 25 Years from Legendary Publisher Behind Duke Nukem, Max Payne, Prey

THE NETHERLANDS — 22 July 2021 — Residual, a new breed of survival platformer from OrangePixel and legendary publisher Apogee Entertainment, crash-lands on Steam for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, 9 September. The PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 releases will lift off later this year.

Alone against the void, one explorer must survive an unpredictable alien world, generated anew with every fresh start. Repair the ship against incredible odds as rain lashes, high winds push back, blazing heat or chilling cold strike, and the secrets of a long-lost civilization make themselves known. Only creative puzzle-solving, resourceful crafting, and an eye for escaping subterranean doom will bring the intrepid spacefarer home.

Witness the Nature Engine, a proprietary procedural generation system which governs everything from climate and minerals to hostile plant life from a set of nature-based rules. For every planet among thousands of possibilities, a different ecosystem challenges what adventurers have learned with new twists. In the absence of fishing pools, find a new food source. In the face of long, cold nights, make haste to chart new ground during the day. Hot deserts bring plentiful solar power; what will you spend it on?

Choose between a male, female, or non-binary protagonist and venture forth alongside the quirkiest snarkcasm-filled robot this side of the galactic core: your Personal Disaster Bot, Pedey-B! A constant companion, Pedey-B guides its friends(?) through the journey, offering helpful advice, sarcastic well-meaning tips, and random commentary.

“Look, my words were a bit harsh the last time I was asked for a quote,” said Peedy-B in an apologetic, albeit synthesized voice. “We’re a real team here—even if I do 98.7% of the work and come up with the plans and—”

“Residual invites players to tell their own survival stories in a forgotten galaxy where no two planets are exactly alike,” chimes in Pascal Bestebroer of studio OrangePixel. “Sharing stories from our gaming is the best part of this business, so it was very important to me that Residual come to many different platforms and have options for a gentler survival adventure.”

Residual lands planetside Thursday, 9 September on Steam for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for $19.99 with support for 11 languages. The PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 releases will follow later this year. For more on OrangePixel and Apogee’s galactic adventure, check out the game website, follow the studio on Twitter, Discord, and Facebook, and tune in for Pascal’s weekly devlogs on YouTube. Hang out with Apogee on its official website or follow the legends on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Discord.

About Apogee Entertainment

Apogee Software’s pioneering journey began in 1987, when Scott Miller decided to split his new game, Kingdom of Kroz, into three episodes, with the first episode available as free shareware. The “Apogee model” of distribution revolutionized PC gaming at the time and catapulted Apogee Software to global renown. As an indie publisher, Apogee (and it’s later incarnation, 3D Realms) would introduce the world to id Software, Remedy Entertainment, Parallax Software, and other video game superstars in the making. As a developer, Apogee would innovate and inspire in equal measure, creating treasured characters and franchises like Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, and Prey en route to earning over a billion dollars in commercial revenue.

The new Apogee Entertainment, with founder Scott Miller and longtime partner Terry Nagy at the helm, will empower today’s incredibly talented indie developers, paving the way for their global success with innovative ideas, cutting-edge marketing, and the same fearlessness that changed the industry.

Players Can Win a Virtual Mercedes-AMG F1 W11 EQ Performance, CSR2’s First Licensed F1 Car

SAN FRANCISCO – July 21, 2021 – Today, Zynga Inc. (Nasdaq: ZNGA), a global leader in interactive entertainment, announced the upcoming CSR Racing 2 (CSR2) “Europe Series”, a new in-game multi-event that will challenge players to race across prime tracks throughout Europe.

Following the success of the recent America Series in CSR2, the Europe Series will rev up its engines beginning on August 12 and run through October 29 of this year. All players will receive a virtual BMW M4 Coupe (G82) “M Performance” car in the first of 11 events across three tracks, which are inspired by real world circuits in locations such as the Nürburgring, Germany and Matera, Italy. In each event, players can unlock some of the world’s most iconic cars, such as the Pagani Huayra R, which will be featured within a game for the first time.  

The finale will take players to the legendary Nürburgring track, where they will have a chance to win the officially licensed Mercedes-AMG F1 W11 EQ Performance featuring its striking black livery as driven by the seven-time World Drivers’ Champion Lewis Hamilton.  The in-game driver of the W11 will be depicted wearing Hamilton’s black and purple helmet, his black race suit seated in the black liveried car – all designed as part of the team’s statement against racism and discrimination in all forms.

“We share a passion for motorsports and racing games with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, making them the ideal collaborators for our Europe Series event,” Julian Widdows, Vice President and Head of Racing at NaturalMotion, the Zynga studio behind CSR2.

 “For the first time in CSR2 history, we are bringing an F1 car to our game that not only celebrates one of the world’s most iconic racing cars, but also lets players experience the power and performance of this car in-game.”

“As a testament to the license granted by Mercedes-AMG Petronas to NaturalMotion in collaboration with Zynga, CSR2’s Europe Series will give players the chance to race this virtual elite racer that was driven to the Constructors’ World Championship by Lewis Hamilton and  Valtteri Bottas,” said Simon Forester, Head of Licensing  from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. “It’s an incredible opportunity to bring this awesome car to the screens of motorsports enthusiasts worldwide giving players the ultimate racing experience.”

CSR2 is available to download for free on the App Store as well as on Google Play.

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind, relaxing gameplay experience where you’ll be responsible for ecosystem balance and animals’ well-being. Get insight into the wildlife of European forests. Manage populations of wolves, deer, and rabbits. Observe their habits and learn a thing or two along the way.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 22nd, Warsaw, Poland.

Different species have different characteristics and needs, but they are all driven by instinct. Wolves will migrate to the same hunting grounds their ancestors did. Rabbits will reproduce in the same part of the forest they always have. But the ecosystem is changing. Humans build roads that are dangerous to cross, leave piles of trash that can harm animals, and interfere with the natural environment in many other ways. Natural Instincts will give you the chance to protect the animals, control their breeding, keep dangers away, and balance the ecosystem so it can flourish under your protection.

Starting today, July 22nd, you’ll be able to download the game from Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1168610/Natural_Instincts/) at 7:00 p. m. CEST / 10:00 a. m. PDT / 1:00 p. m. EDT / 6:00 p. m. BST, and enjoy a 10% launch discount!

ABOUT NATURAL INSTINCTS

Natural Instincts is an interactive nature documentary sim that offers the player an open world and the ability to manage the actions of different animals. Protect species and save them from harm – either by natural predators or human threats. Give commands to the animals, observe their habits, and help them survive. React to the encroaching human presence and help the animal kingdom flourish in this unique environmental experience.

NATURAL INSTINCTS – MAIN FEATURES

• An innovative gameplay experience where players can manage animals living in their natural environment.
• A lush green forest inhabited by unique animals and plants.
• Wildlife supervision – observe animals and act immediately by helping them find food, water, or shelter, or keep them away from danger.
• Population control – manage the environment’s balance by controlling species population. Increase it by breeding animals or reduce it with the help of predators. Remember, however, that the environment’s balance is incredibly fragile.
• Observe and learn – every species’ behavior is different. Watch the animals’ reactions to different situations and use this knowledge to your advantage.
• Deal with random events – nature is no fairytale, so make sure your actions are carefully considered.
• Influence natural selection – create the ultimate predator by pairing the most aggressive wolves or breed only the fastest rabbits in the forest. The choice is entirely yours.

Natural Instincts is now available on Steam Early Access. The game is being developed by DreamStorm Studios and was published by Games Operators.

More information about the game can be found on Steam.

In these circumstances, every piece of advice on how to survive is worth its weight in gold, so learn a trick or two from the latest The Riftbreaker™ video before the game launches on PC PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass this fall.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 22nd, Szczecin, Poland.

The ultimate goal is obvious. Survive. Build the rift. Jump back home. However, it’s easier said than done, as completing this task in The Riftbreaker™ Campaign Mode will require strategic planning, quick thinking, reasonable resource management, and constantly fighting back alien hordes.

Download the free Prologue from Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1293860/The_Riftbreaker_Prologue/) if you think you’ve got what it takes to survive, and add the full game to your Wishlist (https://store.steampowered.com/app/780310/The_Riftbreaker/) to not miss the launch.

Take a glimpse of how The Riftbreaker’s campaign mode takes you on a trip across diverse biomes of Galatea 37. This extended developer commentary video presents how it is to operate a global network of bases and mining outposts in a diverse, dynamic, and persistent world. Explore the planet, uncover its secrets and use that knowledge and resources to construct a rift station that will allow you to go back home to Earth.

ABOUT THE RIFTBREAKER™:

As Captain Ashley S. Nowak, “the Riftbreaker”, you enter a one-way portal to Galatea 37, a distant planet in 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 combat. It is also capable of traveling through rifts that connect space across vast distances.

THE RIFTBREAKER™ – MAIN FEATURES:

• 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 flora and fauna, 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 upgradable. 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.
• 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 on 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!

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war 

Epsom, July 22nd. Slitherine (Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War, Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach and Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon) and Black Lab Games (Battlestar Galactica Deadlock and Starhammer) are proud to announce the release of the newest turn-based strategy game set in the world-renowned sci-fi setting imagined by Games Workshop: Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector.

The game revolves around army sized turn-based strategical battles on grid-based maps. The factions available are the Blood Angels Space Marine chapter (that the player commands in the single player story campaign) and the Tyranids xenos race (the antagonist in the story campaign, they are playable in Skirmish and Multiplayer). The gameplay is modular and there are already plans to expand the existing roster in the near future.

The game releases today on PC on the major online stores, the console version (Xbox One and PlayStation 4) will follow soon.

About the Game:

Age of Crimson Dawn
Experience an epic twenty mission single-player campaign that explores the aftermath of the Devastation of Baal. Help Sergeant Carleon and his allies purge the Tyranid infestation on Baal Secundus, and preserve the honour of the noble Blood Angels.

Skirmish Mode
Fight across the surface of Baal on maps of your choosing and select either the Blood Angels or the Tyranids in the Skirmish mode. Completely customize your army list by picking your units, heroes and their loadouts.

Forge Your Armies
Command iconic units like the Sanguinary Priest, the Librarian Dreadnought, and the Hive Tyrant to annihilate your foes. Use over 60 abilities and 50 weapons to orchestrate your opponent’s bloody demise.

Build Momentum
Each faction has a unique Momentum system that can result in a Surged unit. Units that Surge are able to string together superhuman chains of actions, or use the opportunity to further upgrade their abilities.

Call In Air Support
Use Command Points to call in faction-specific air support abilities. The Blood Angels Stormraven can obliterate xenos with a missile barrage, or deep strike a unit of veteran Assault Marines behind enemy lines. Meanwhile, the Tyranid Harpy can devastate the enemy defenses with its Sonic Screech, or scatter the battlefield with its deadly Spore Mines.

Face Your Friends On The Battlefield
With live and asynchronous multiplayer, and hotseat modes available, there’s no excuse not to take your friends to war. Asynchronous multiplayer will be only available on PC.
