First-ever Playable Demo to Debut During Steam Next Fest

Chihuahua, Mexico — August 31, 2021 — Aztech Forgotten Gods, the Latinx-Futurism cyberstone colossus fighter from award-winning Mulaka developers Lienzo, will launch on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam in Q1 2022. An all-new demo will be available during the Steam Next Fest from Friday, Oct. 1 through Thursday, October 7, 2021. 

Explore and fight for Tenochtitlan, the jewel of the Aztec Empire, in a world untarnished by the European superpowers. Left untouched for centuries, the city and its residents progressed technologically, steadily pushing into the future. Now, an unfamiliar enemy awakens to threaten Tenochtitlan, leaving the cybernetically-augmented heroine Achtli standing between her city’s survival and utter destruction.

Guide Achtli as she masters Lightkeeper, an ancient prosthetic weapon powered by mysterious energy. Propel Achtli to incredible heights and deliver shattering blows to gods as she soars through her adventure. Use Lightkeeper to grab onto flesh-shredding rails, allowing Achtli to clear chasms and close the distance on her foes in mere seconds.

Aztech’s first playable demo highlights a showdown against Coatlicue, the All-Mother Goddess, and a slice of Tenochtitlan for players to explore. Get a taste of Aztech’s story-driven plot, immerse yourself into a city ripe for exploration, and face off against gargantuan goliaths in this adrenaline-filled slice of the game. Download the Aztech Forgotten Gods demo on Steam beginning Monday, October 1, 2021 through Thursday, October 7, 2021.

Atari’s Upgraded Arcade Classic Celebrates 40th Anniversary on Modern Consoles, VCS

NEW YORK — 31 Aug. 2021 — Centipede: Recharged, the neon-fueled re-imagining of the arcade classic from publisher Atari in collaboration with developers Adamvision Studios and SneakyBox Studios, brings back the bug-blasting battle on Wednesday, 29 Sept. for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and Epic Games Store for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Atari VCS with exclusive content. 

Initiate insect extermination in this widescreen glow-up of one of the greatest arcade games of all time. The rules are the same as 1981: shoot the centipedes as they descend the playing field, and contend around the shot-blocking and path-altering mushrooms they leave behind. New to Centipede: Recharged are power-ups dropped by the spiders, such as explosive bullets, spread shots, and a devastating railgun.

Fight for high scores in Arcade mode either solo or with a new simultaneous couch co-op feature. Tackle more than two dozen challenges that test bug-shooting prowess and introduce clever uses for the new powerups, with additional challenges exclusive to the Atari VCS. Take it to the next level with global leaderboards for the best records in the world, and earn more than 15 achievements, complete with a Platinum trophy on PlayStation 4 and 5.

Groove to the 80’s-inspired electronic soundtrack by award-winning composer Megan McDuffee, with the first single from the game’s soundtrack available now on Bandcamp. Vibrant, clean graphics clock in with 4K resolution and 120 frames per second output on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, with support for up to 240 Hz on PC, all keeping the lightning-fast and chaotic chitinous carnage smooth, stable, and seriously fun. 

Centipede Recharged is the first title in Atari’s new premium gaming initiative, which will revitalize some of Atari’s legendary portfolio of titles for modern platforms. Atari VCS players can enjoy exclusive Challenges and full support for the new Atari Wireless Classic Joystick.

“We’re so excited to bring these classic, genre-defining games to modern consoles,” said Wade Rosen, CEO, Atari. “Our goal is to create faithful adaptations that ooze with nostalgia and style, and we’re looking forward to providing that to the old school fans that loved Centipede as kids, and a new generation of players who appreciate high-quality arcade action and 80’s aesthetic.”

Centipede: Recharged releases Wednesday, 29 Sept. on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam and Epic Games Store for Windows PC, and the Atari VCS, for which it features exclusive content and is optimized to work with the new Atari Wireless Classic Joystick, for $9.99. Centipede: Recharged supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and simplified Chinese.

Latest addition to the prestigious limited edition Black Label Collection revealed

Watford, England, 31^st August 2021: Global Video Games Publishing label Wired Productions and Limited Run Games are pleased to reveal the next addition to the Black Label collection; with The Town of Light joining as the second release in the exclusive series.

The Town of Light is a first-person psychological adventure, set in Tuscany, Italy in the first half of the 20^th century. The story takes place in Volterra Asylum, a former psychiatric hospital, which has been meticulously reconstructed for players to explore and relive the tragic history of Renée. Created by developer LKA, The Town Of Light first released in 2017 and dug its roots deep in historical facts, with a personal story and hope to make players not only think, but also talk about the views and behaviors around mental health historically.

The Black Label is a reflection of the way Wired Productions curates its games. It is a celebration of art, music and most importantly; the teams behind each release and their ethos and experiences. Limited to a maximum of 2,500 units, each is beautifully crafted and carefully selected to spotlight one of the many eclectic games Wired published from developers they love.

Black Label #02 includes:

• The Town Of Light (ESRB Region free) on PS4, enclosed in a brand new variant inlay and sleeve.
• A collection of stunning art prints hand-chosen by LKA developer founder Luca Dalcò.
• The CD and Digital Download soundtrack by acclaimed artist and musician Aseptic Void.
• A Wired Razor authenticity card – individually numbered with just 2,500 available.
• Iconic razor cut Alu-dibond art print.
• Collectable trading cards from the Wired Productions collection.
• All housed in a bespoke high-end Black Label silver box wrapped in the Wired Razor Sleeve – a black finish with an embossed tattoo motif.
• Plus, a pretty cool and super exclusive bonus item that Wired will reveal later!

The Town Of Light was a catalyst to many movements within the gaming industry, including the formation of video games mental health charity Safe In Our World, co-founded by Leo Zullo, Neil Broadhead and Gareth Williams from the Wired team, alongside various names and partners across the industry. Now, close to five years later, Wired and LKA are collaborating again with the upcoming release of Martha is Dead, a title which continues the almost cinematic storytelling that the studio has become famous for.

“After seeing the positive response from the community to Black Label #01: Victor Vran, I couldn’t wait to announce the next game in the Black Label Collection,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions, “The Town of Light is an extremely important game for Wired and deserves to be celebrated in the form of Black Label, from the first time we played the demo of the title we were shocked, in awe and knew instantly that this game needed to be played.”

“We are delighted to be sharing The Town of Light with our community and customers in the form of Black Label #02,” said Douglas Bogart, co-founder, Limited Run Games, “Wired Productions has a keen eye for games made with passion, games that resonate with our community, and we look forward to celebrating even more fantastic indie titles in the future.“

The pre-order window for Black Label #02: The Town of Light starts August 31^st and runs until October 31^st. Priced at $79.99 / £69.99, gamers can secure their edition via Limited Run Games for North America or directly from the Wired Productions store for all other territories.

Get a closer look at this exciting new game before getting hands on with new preview code

Bangkok, Thailand, 31st August, 2021. Green Man Gaming Publishing and solo game designer Erik Rempen, are thrilled to give fans a peek behind the curtain of the highly anticipated new roguelite village-builder Kainga: Seeds of Civilization. 

Released at Gamescom last week, this new video will take you on a journey deep into the heart of Kainga and showcases some of the new biomes, game mechanics and challenges players can look forward to when the game launches later this year. Fans can also download a new playable demo for Kainga: Seeds of Civilization from Steam now!

Kainga: Seeds of Civilization is a roguelite village-builder set in a world full of mystery and surprise. Taking on the role of the Thinker, the leader of the village, you will need to adapt to the procedurally generated environment and surroundings and make the right choices to allow your people and village to flourish. The Thinker is responsible for passing the players’ decisions and commands on to the people. Although the citizens are somewhat expendable, if the Thinker falls, you lose. Much like the king in chess, they’re weak and vulnerable and must be protected at all costs. 

Instead of following the long-winded city builder formula, Kainga: Seeds of Civilization is focused on short, 30 minute to 1 hour challenges. Each challenge is a fresh and diverse experience in a new location which still allows the player to make progression between runs.

Features of Kainga: Seeds of Civilization. 

• Create A Unique Culture. Using the unique thinker skill tree, select research from a diverse branching technology tree inspired by civilizations around the world, make your mark on the world, with your choice of buildings, festivals, resource production and more! 
• Adapt to Your Surroundings. Use the terrain and resources to your advantage, keep an eye on the resources you have available and carefully plan and adapt to an ever changing environment, as you battle against the elements, disasters, other villages and even the beasts that roam the lands.
