FINAL FANTASY I, II, AND III COME TO LIFE AS 2D PIXEL REMASTERS WITH UPDATED GRAPHICS AND AUDIO ON JULY 28

Pre-Purchase on Steam® for Exclusive Wallpapers, Music Tracks and a 20% Discount

SYDNEY (July 2^nd, 2021) – SQUARE ENIX® today announced FINAL FANTASY I, II and III are coming to Steam® and mobile platforms on July 28. The pixel remaster series brings all the magic of the originals combined with quality-of-life upgrades while staying faithful to the retro design of these masterpieces. Fans can look forward to enjoying a host of updates including:

• Redrawn 2D pixel character and background graphics, featuring iconic FINAL FANTASY character pixel designs created by Kazuko Shibuya, the original artist and current collaborator.
• Beautifully rearranged soundtracks, overseen by original composer Nobuo Uematsu.
• Improved gameplay, including controller and touch controls, modernized UI, auto-battle options, and more.
• Dive into the world of the game with supplemental extras like the bestiary, illustration gallery, music player, and the ability to save at any time

Looking back at the long history of the beloved series, the “Father of FINAL FANTASY” Hironobu Sakaguchi states, “When working on the originals, I didn’t think that the FINAL FANTASY series would be remastered almost 35 years later. The video game industry had only just been established. So, with nobody else leading the way, we had to keep moving forward at the front line. I remember how we went through a lot of trial and error at that time. I’m very happy and grateful that Final Fantasy has continued for such a long period of time.” FINAL FANTASY Brand Manager and FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Producer Yoshinori Kitase adds, “Every time a new Final Fantasy title is released, I think there are those who want to return to the origin of the series.

This project began because we wanted to create a convenient way for fans and new players to enjoy these original classics, with consistent graphics and a unified user interface.” Further, in regard to the renowned soundtrack of the FINAL FANTASY series, series composer Nobuo Uematsu also confirmed, “We are rearranging all the music tracks this time. One of the first ideas I had was to make sure to stay faithful to the originals, but of course I couldn’t just leave it in the original 3-tone sound, so they have been built up into full-scale tracks. I have made sure that the original atmosphere has been retained and each can be listened to as separate music pieces, so that fans can enjoy.”

Those who pre-purchase the titles on Steam® will receive two exclusive wallpapers, three music tracks, and 20% discount per each respective title. All six titles are also available for pre-purchase as the FINAL FANTASY I-VI Bundle for a further discount. More information on the bundle is available on Steam at: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/21478.

• Collect over 20 unique heroes, each with their own unique skill set, passive abilities, and fully narrated story to complete.
• Hundreds of unique items to loot and craft to improve each hero and alter their repertoire of attacks and abilities. 
• Build out your refuge atop the mountain by recruiting new artisans to craft more items, fulfilling bounties, and training your heroes.
• Battle through three distinct lands, each with several dungeons to conquer, including the eerie Gravemark, the oppressive Underhold, and the precarious Blood Ridge.
• Distinct class roles that reward team play and powerful ultimate abilities that charge by fulfilling your role. Block damage as a warrior, interrupt enemies as an assassin or heal your allies as a mage.
• A stunning mix of hand-painted characters and real time 3D models and lighting effects.

Surreal Action Roguelike Dreamscaper Awakens Sooner Than Expected

Now Setting the Alarm for Aug. 5, 2021

SAN FRANCISCO – 2 July 2021 – Dreamscaper, the surreal roguelite action RPG from publisher Freedom Games and developer Afterburner Studios, will awaken earlier than expected from its Steam Early Access slumber, launching for Nintendo Switch and PC on Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021. Previously announced for an Aug. 12 launch, version 1.0 introduces two new bosses, an additional nightmarish biome, expanded story content, and much more.

Dive into strange dream realms conjured by the subconscious mind of Cassidy, a young woman wrestling with her inner demons. Each night, Cassidy finds herself thrown into twisted dungeons inhabited by nightmarish creatures. To uncover the source of her lucid-dreaming loop, Cassidy pushes back against the darkness, wielding all manner of imaginative weaponry and psychic powers to attack, dodge, block, and blast through foes in frenetic hack-and-slack combat.

Outfit our heroine with an expansive arsenal of more than 200 unique items ranging from fiery bottle rockets and super-powered baseball bats to explosive finger guns with a myriad of modifiers and upgrades. Equip special abilities such as chain lightning and seismic blasts from an electric guitar to turn the tide of combat. Unlock new additions to Cassidy’s arsenal and skills by exploring dream dungeons and forging lasting bonds with NPCs during her waking hours.

Progress deeper into an ever-changing labyrinth that fuses Cassidy’s memories with her fears and anxieties. Spend the day preparing for nightly ordeals by visiting various locales around town and getting to know the neighbors. Spend time with pals to learn more about their lives, exchange gifts to deepen relationships and access new powers and passive upgrades.

Dreamscaper’s full release includes all of the content from Steam Early Access and a host of all-new features. Face off against Regret and Resentment, imposing new bosses that haunt the deepest reaches of Cassidy’s psyche. Discover a warped version of Cassidy’s hometown that holds the key to her strange fate. Experiment across eight difficulty options with a dynamic slider to create the perfect level of challenge and complete the story to unlock multiple endings.

“When we launched Dreamscaper on Steam Early Access last year, we couldn’t imagine Cassidy’s journey would resonate with so many players,” said Ian Cofino, co-founder, Afterburner Studios. “The journey so far has surpassed our wildest dreams and we look forward to continuing to make dreams come true when we can share the Dreamscaper experience with everyone on Nintendo Switch and Steam this August.”

Dreamscaper will be available on Nintendo Switch and Steam for Windows PC on Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021, for $24.99 / €20.99 / £19.49, with English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean-language support.

GLOBAL SUPERSTAR J BALVIN AND TRANSFORMERS TEAM UP FOR FIRST-EVER MUSIC COLLABORATIVE FIGURE ‘J BALVINTRON’ TO DEBUT ON NTWRK

The Mobile-first E-commerce Content Site Brings ‘More than Meets the Eye’ and ‘Reggaeton’s Global Ambassador’ Together in an Epic Music-Inspired Mash-Up

PAWTUCKET, RI – July 1, 2021 – Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS), and NTWRK, North America’s premiere livestream shopping platform, today announced the first TRANSFORMERS Collaborative music-inspired item – the J Balvin Mash-Up, J Balvintron 3-Pack. Hasbro and NTWRK have partnered with J Balvin, one of the most influential and successful Latin artists, to bring this truly special blend of music-inspired toy and “More Than Meets the Eye” worlds together for fans.

Sound waves combine in this TRANSFORMERS-J Balvin mash-up pack! “Reggaeton’s global ambassador” joins the DECEPTICONS as the TRANSFORMERS robot, J BALVINTRON. This DECEPTICON wields the power of rhythm to crush his enemies! The 7-inch tall Soundwave-inspired figure converts into cassette player mode in 6 steps and features deco and details inspired by J Balvin – including packaging inspired by J Balvin’s rainbow color scheme and his iconic smiley face icon with lightning bolt eyes. He comes with two mini cassette figures, with deco inspired by albums “Energia” and “Vibras”. The Energia Buzzsaw converts to condor mode in 4 steps, and Vibras Stripes converts to tiger mode in 3 steps. The figure also includes a blaster accessory and two rainbow blast effects.

Balvin, who is a diehard TRANSFORMERS fan and watched the classic G1 animated series as a kid, had a huge part in making this unique collaboration happen. From his love for tigers, which inspired one of the mini-cassette figures with a strong big cat resemblance, to naming the figure J BALVINTRON.

The NTWRK platform that has brilliantly developed a new form of e-tail – selling products via bite-size video broadcasts and episodic content – will premiere an animated stop motion video highlighting J BALVINTRON converting and an interview with TRANSFORMERS team designer to give fans a behind the scenes, detailed look at the figure, before debuting for sale.

Find full product information below:

• ​Shorthand Name: J BALVINTRON
• Size: Stands 7 inches when in robot mode
• Age: Made for ages 8+

TRANSFORMERS robots have always been…More Than Meets the Eye, but now through the TRANSFORMERS Collaborative, fans can experience these larger than life characters as they team-up, mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams, and people who share this same special quality. The J Balvin collaboration acts as the first music partnership for the brand since the TRANSFORMERS Collaborative launched in 2019, in addition to marking the first-ever Latin music, DECEPTICON, and G1-inspired collaboration!

BALDUR’S GATE 3’S PATCH 5 CONTENT TO BE UNVEILED DURING THE PANEL FROM HELL 3, AN INTERACTIVE LIVE EVENT HELD AT GRAVENSTEEN CASTLE, BELGIUM, ON JULY 8

The inaugural ‘LarPG’ allows Twitch viewers to vote in a live-action interactive adventure that covers the basis of Patch 5’s gameplay changes

Dublin, July 1 – Baldur’s Gate 3’s Patch 5 is right around the corner, and so too is the third Panel From Hell. Since Feburary’s release of Patch 4, we’ve been working on implementing much of the player feedback gathered and parsed since the launch of Early Access, in October of 2020. 

News of what those changes are will be explored in The Panel From Hell 3, host of our first ‘LarPG’ (Larian-LARP-ARG, get it?). We’re calling it ‘Twitch Plays: A Most Noble Sacrifice’, and it stars a cast of real actors alongside fake — but still surprisingly good — actors, (the developers working on Baldur’s Gate 3).

Take the reins as you direct our adventuring party through brain teasing puzzles and lethal traps as they quest to retrieve an object of incredible value. Call the shots, and take the adventure home with you in our first ‘LarPG’. We’re coming to you live from Gravensteen castle… but we can’t guarantee everyone will leave. That’s up to you. 

See you on July 8th, 11am PT.

The 3D platformer Glyph from Bolverk Games is on 50% sale until July 8th. The offer is available on the Switch eStore in Europe and Australia.

Don’t touch the sand. It’s certain death. That’s how it normally works in Glyph; the not yet award-winning the floor is lava 3D platform game from Bolverk Games. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get a good deal from Bolverk Games to help you chill in the summer heat.

Grab your Switch and get a Beach Buddy discount of 50%, head to where the cool breeze mixes with salt and sand and chill the wooopdidoop out. Thoroughly entertained through 80+ levels.

Beach Buddy Bonanza
Try digging your toes into the warm beach sand whenever you perish in-game, and say out loud: “See!?! Silly game! The sand is NOT dangerous at ALL!” After that, you should probably make an audible exhale for added effect.

Then try again. You got this.

Make sure to schedule this private little event before July the 8th because that is when the offer ends: 50% off! What a great deal! Get it now, while it is still in stock (actually, the stock is infinite, no worries, it’s just a marketing trick the old guard taught me). 

But, 50% is all it’ll cost you. With Glyph, there are no microtransactions or any of that (new guard) stuff. Buy Glyph, and everything in it is yours.

So what is this glyph game anyway?

Breathtaking maneuvers
Well, Glyph’s gameplay combines breathtaking aerial maneuvers with tranquil exploration. The end goal is to restore the ancient Temple City, overcome by the desert, which also functions as the game´s non-linear hub world.

• 80+ levels in Exploration mode mean you’ll have to put serious effort into the game before you’ve seen it all.
• 30 blazing hot levels put your skills to the test in Time Trial mode.
• 100+ secrets and upgrades are all part of the game from the beginning. With Glyph, you won’t have to pay for extra skins or cool unlocks.
• A wicked mean final boss…

Glyph appeals to both chill-out players and speedrunners as the open-world allows creative ways to move through the many levels available with the release.

Copenhagen studio
Bolverk Games is a self-supporting indie studio based in Denmark and focused on VR games and software. Over the past two years, Bolverk Games have been working on a 3D platform game for the Nintendo Switch console and PC, Glyph. 

“We make the games we want to play ourselves – beautiful, challenging, and immersive,” says CEO Bo Bennekov.

Bolverk Games was among the first to realize how VR gaming could be more than a novelty and have created titles such as the Dick Wilde shooters and Kittypocalypse.
