Super Fast 2D Platform Action Inside a Lethal Washing Machine
Baltimore, MD – April 29th 2020 – Independent games publisher Versus Evil and developer Nighthouse Games today announced that their 2D platform action game Sockventure will launch on Steam for PC on May 11th.
Sockventure brings super fast, eye catching gameplay with its stunningly colorful graphics and frenetic 2D platform action over 200 handcrafted levels across 7 chapters. Developed by Nighthouse Games players take on the role of Supersock, a superhero tasked with finding all the missing socks inside a cursed washing machine.
Bringing a whole new meaning to ‘put a sock in it’ developer Nighthouse Games has done just that with Sockventure. Precision-based gameplay and split second timing are essential to navigate the intricately designed levels and deadly hazards such as fire, lasers, circular saws and lots of dangerous pointy things (appliance recall anyone?) that will beset the cape adorned sock hero.
Sockhero can acquire new skills during his deadly sock retrieval mission, including wall jumping, double jumping, dashing and stomping. Finding and collecting coins scattered throughout the levels also unlocks dark chapters, presenting a whole new platforming challenge without auto-run.
“Versus Evil gets pitched platformers several times a month. There are games in the market that are synonymous with the genre and even they can deliver experiences that miss the mark. Sockventure checked off the boxes in terms of gameplay expected of the genre, difficulty, depth of game play, levels and more.” said Steve Escalante General Manager of Versus Evil. “We are excited to work with Nighthouse Games on Sockventure and know that fans of this genre are getting the gameplay they love”

The Habbo community requested and received a beloved favorite last week with the relaunch of the popular Snowstorm mini-game in the global virtual community. In less than a week since returning to the platform, Snowstorm has seen nearly 500,000 games played with 25,868,252 snowballs thrown 1,852,467 Habbos completely KO’d and 2,254,474 trees hit. Get in on the action now in Habbo!
Duck, weave and run to out-maneuver your opponents all the while pelting them with a deluge of fluffy snowballs to rack up points. You can only carry 5 snowballs at a time, so you must aim to hit your adversaries hiding behind trees and bushes, or try your luck at hitting runners by anticipating their movements. Restock your frosty weapon supply at the snowball machine or by visiting the piles of snowballs, but you become a slow and easy target when you are restocking, so you’d better be quick!

Brazil is home to 81.2 million players who generated $1.6 billion USD in revenue last year. Brazil is a central figure in the global games market, but with the prices of gaming PCs and consoles being some of the highest in the world, 70% of Brazilian players have turned to mobile gaming. According to Newzoo, as of last year, half of both Brazilian men and women play mobile games, while roughly 40% of men and women play PC games.

Newzoo will discuss their findings regarding Latin America’s gaming market and how game developers can tap into its market and trends, such as cloud gaming, subscription gaming, and the continued rise of competitive mobile games. With support from the Brazil Games Export Program, a partnership between the Brazilian Game Companies Association, ABRAGAMES, and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil), BIG Festival continues to function as a fundamental business hub for video game professionals across the globe through its lectures, networking events, and digital face-to-face meetings.

“The popularity of roguelite RPG’s, coupled with the uniquely disruptive clash of worlds in a beautifully crafted game like The Hand of Merlin really emphasizes the game’s narrative.

EVERSPACE™ 2’s first major update brings all-new story and side-quest missions to the Union star system. Along with a new companion and boss encounter, Bomber ship class, an enemy sub-faction with special gear, and more, the update introduces smuggling to Early Access players.
Hamburg, Germany – April 29, 2021 – Independent developer and publisher ROCKFISH Games have just announced the first major content update, Union: Contracts/Heartland, to their high-rated open-world space action RPG EVERSPACE 2 is now live on Steam and GOG. Space game enthusiasts can look forward to a new companion, additional main and side story missions, introducing all-new smuggling gameplay, as well as a new ship class, activities, challenges, improved game balancing, special gear with set bonuses, and more.
Watch 12 minutes of EVERSPACE 2 Gameplay from the new update:
The biggest part of this update are the three main and three side missions as well as several additional side activities, most taking place in the second star system, Union. As part of these missions, players will be introduced to new smuggling gameplay by Elek, the rogue Outlaw from EVERSPACE: Encounters, who joins the party as a new companion after being rescued.
The update also brings four new music tracks to Union, threebattlethemes and an additional chill synthwave beat for Supralight travel and more.
Early Access players will now be able to jump in the cockpit of the new heavy-class Bomber, a bulky demolition expert with a virtually unlimited supply of missiles and mines, the ability to regenerate hull by damaging enemies, and has the infamous ARC-9000 on board—This much-loved secondary weapon of mass destruction from the first EVERSPACE installment makes a comeback as the Bomber’s explosive Ultimate.
“EVERSPACE 2 had a fantastic launch with 92% positive reviews right out of the gate back in January. Pilots were really excited, burned through the content and demanded more—a good problem to have,” said Michael Schade, CEO and Co-Founder of ROCKFISH Games. “Going into Early Access, we had eight to twelve hours of story content and twice as many side activities, secrets, and challenges to discover, as well as five ship classes. With Union: Contracts/Hinterland we’re adding new, carefully scripted, story content, introducing all-new gameplay mechanics, a new ship class that brings a unique playstyle to the game as well as lots of hidden treasures in Union. We also made a ton of tweaks and quality-of-life improvements overall, so we encourage pilots to start a new game to get the full new experience, but they can also just hop in and continue with their existing saves.”
Union: Contracts/Heartland is set to be followed by EVERSPACE 2’s second major update this summer. Currently titled Zharkov: the Vortex, the next update will bring another companion, new enemy types, new creatures and space phenomena, as well as additional main and side missions, activities, and more.

Starting with two sprawling star systems that can be freely explored by space pilots, players experience Adam’s emotional journey and personal development from an immortal clone space pilot to an individual of character whose death has final consequences in an open-world action RPG.

BANDAI NAMCO Studios and Phoenixx Reveal Survival Quiz City Limited-Time Playtest
30-Player Multiplayer Mayhem Begins 8 May
TOKYO – 29 April 2021 –Survival Quiz City, the multiplayer survival quiz action game from developer BANDAI NAMCO Studios and publisher Phoenixx, invites contestants to answer questions correctly or suffer the consequences in a pair of four-hour open playtest sessions on Friday, 7 May and Saturday, 8 May on Steam.
In an alternate-future metropolis, the biggest game show is Survival Quiz City, where the inhabitants use their mind and body to compete for fame and fortune. Each round starts with a multiple-choice question. Be smart, but be quick: only so many people can answer correctly! Those who guess wrong or aren’t fast enough get dropped to an obstacle course while the winners shoot and bomb the losers, who must sprint and climb to the goal.
Competitors running the obstacle course try to collect coins while avoiding the onslaught from the winners, who earn coins for each hit on the losers. Make it to the end of the obstacle course to keep any winnings, then spend that collected cash in an interactive intermission on items that can increase speed, boost climbing stamina, and increase the winners’ firepower. This between-round lobby also has extra coins to collect, with more valuable currency in harder-to-reach spots.
Up to 30 contestants can participate in online multiplayer matches in the two game modes. In Survival Mode, choose the right answers and make it to the end of each round, trying to be the last contender standing. Bounty Hunter mode lets everyone compete with no eliminations, but earning coins becomes the focus, as the richest player at the end of four rounds is the winner!
The limited-time playtest, designed to help test servers ahead of release later this year, features two sessions: one on Friday, 7 May from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. PDT, and another Saturday, 8 May from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. PDT / 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. BST / 11 a.m. to 3 p.m CEST.
“We’re ready for the world to get a taste of Survival Quiz City, and look forward to letting people try out the most intense quiz show ever,” said Yusuke Shigeta, Survival Quiz City Director at BANDAI NAMCO Studios. “Please share your feedback with us on Steam as we continue our work on the game!”
Survival Quiz City will be available on Steam Windows PC later this year, and the playtest will have support for English and Japanese text.
