RESIDENT EVIL™ VILLAGE DEMO, NEWS AND MORE REVEALED IN RESIDENT EVIL™ SHOWCASE

SYDNEY – April 19, 2021 – On Friday aired another information-packed Resident Evil™ Showcase program including new information on the upcoming highly anticipated survivor horror title Resident Evil™ Village and other franchise news. In addition to a new trailer with gameplay footage featuring new enemies and areas of the mysterious village, Capcom confirmed the popular “The Mercenaries” game mode returns with added features in Resident Evil Village. Capcom also confirmed details for the limited time demo coming to all platforms on May 2 with PlayStation players getting early access available now. Celebrations marking the Resident Evil™ 25^th anniversary this year also continued with new ways to experience the franchise across several content partners.

The latest trailer for Resident Evil Village pulls fans deeper into the enigmatic locale with a peek at the diversity of environments and enemies players will encounter. New footage provided clues to an immense underground factory possibly mass producing humanoid creatures, and a vast man-made lake barely concealing what appears to be a colossal aquatic monster. The mysterious man from the January Resident Evil Showcase is revealed to be Heisenberg. Though his name is now known, his role remains unclear in protagonist Ethan Winters’ quest to find his daughter. Series veteran Chris Redfield also makes an appearance with questionable motives, creating more mystery as to what his role is.

The heart-pounding action does not stop once Ethan’s story concludes. The fan-favorite game mode, “The Mercenaries,” makes its much requested return with rich content and rewards, providing variety and replayability beyond the main gameplay in Resident Evil Village. Players must complete increasingly challenging objectives before the clock runs out in this additional game mode, which is unlocked by completing the main campaign. The Duke merchant from the main game appears in the mode, offering weapons and upgrades to help tackle the challenges. Additionally, players can acquire abilities that enhance their weapons or physical abilities. It will be up to each player to strategize which load out will be the most effective for each objective.

Intrepid players are invited to get an early taste of the action-packed horror that awaits when Resident Evil Villagelaunches on May 7. Players can explore the village and castle areas of the game for up to 60 minutes in a limited time demo for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam and Stadia. This multiplatform demo will be accessible for 24 hours starting May 2 at 8:00 PM AEST , with a pre-load option already available. 

In advance of the multiplatform demo, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 players will have two early access opportunities, where they will have an 8-hour window to play 30 minutes for each section. The first date will offer the village portion starting April 19 at 3:00 AM AEST. A second date will offer the castle area starting on April 26 at 3:00 AM AEST with a pre-load option already available.

The Resident Evil franchise is celebrating 25 years of survival horror this year, and the festivities continued with several announcements in today’s Resident Evil Showcase. One of the most revered games in the industry gets a whole new perspective as Capcom confirmed Resident Evil™ 4 will be available later this year on Oculus Quest 2, the next generation of all-in-one VR. More details will be shared during the Oculus Gaming Showcase on April 22 at 8:00 AM AEST on Twitch, Facebook, and YouTube. Resident Evil continues its collaboration with other major game industry IP as a partnership with Behaviour Interactive brings Capcom’s survival horror series to asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight. In broader entertainment, a new trailer for Netflix’s RESIDENT EVIL: Infinite Darkness anime series made its debut today.

Resident Evil Village is the highly anticipated action-packed survival horror title coming May 7, and is the eighth main entry in the genre-defining Resident Evil franchise. It will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam and Stadia.

Oh, Behave! Long-Running and Award-Winning Point-and-Click Adventure — Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Dry Twice — Coming to Consoles May 2021

Lovelorn Lothario Larry Laffer is Almost Ready to Settle Down and Enjoy Domestic Life…If Only He Knew Where His Lady Love was Located

Wiesbaden, Germany (April 16, 2021) — Curl that chest hair and polish up your best gold chain, because legendary ladies man Larry Laffer is headed to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on May 18, 2021, in Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice. Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer CrazyBunch are more excited than Larry when English Leather cologne goes on sale, especially with the PC version winning “Best Classic Adventure of 2020” from the Adventure Game of the Year (AGOTY) Awards. Help Larry track down his missing soulmate, the lovely Faith, who has mysteriously disappeared in the tropical paradise of Kalau’a — now from the comfort of your couch or on the go!

Currently enjoying a “Very Positive” review metric on Steam and a successful run on the original love machine, aka the PC, Wet Dreams Dry Twice is everything the long-running and legendary adventure series is known for: a plucky protagonist, more than 50 gorgeous, hand-drawn locations to explore, new friends as well as beloved recurring characters from previous games, and of course, plenty of naughty puns and hilarious puzzles to solve.
 
“Wet Dreams Dry Twice was a big hit on the PC, and it’s our pleasure to finally share the even cheekier adventures of Larry with console players,” said Assemble Entertainment CEO Stefan Marcinek. “There’s a charm to this series that keeps players coming back again and again, and Larry’s latest quest might be his most important of all.”
 
In the events of the last game, our heartsick hero Larry Laffer found himself stranded in Cancum and ready to leave the single life behind. Unfortunately, one thing led to another and Larry’s true love and future wife (hopefully) Faith has disappeared somewhere amongst the sunny series of islands in the Kalau’a Archipelago. Can Larry avoid temptation and stay focused enough to find out what happened and reunite with Faith?

Watch the Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams DryTwice console teaser trailer: 

Key Features Include: 

• Ho’i Hou Ke Aloha: Fans of the previous games as well as newcomers will find plenty to fall in love with (again) in Larry’s latest adventure as he treks across the stunning tropical archipelago of Kalau’a, brought to life with beautiful hand-drawn visuals
   
• Cheeky Puns? We’ve Got Plenty: It wouldn’t be a Leisure Suit Larry game without a bevy of spicy jokes, suggestive visuals, and good ‘ol fashioned dirty punnery
   
• One at a Time Ladies!: During his quest for love, Larry will be tempted and teased by more than 40 “fleshed-out” characters, some from his nefarious past, some brand new

Published by Assemble Entertainment and developed by Crazybunch, Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Dry Twice will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on May 18, 2021, with digital versions at $44.99 USD and PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch retail versions for $39.99 USD.

Let The Bad Times Roll, their much-anticipated 10^th album, is out today

Today, the legendary punk rock band, The Offspring, are releasing their first album in almost a decade. Let The Bad Times Roll, the band’s 10^th album, was recorded over the last several years and sees the band once again collaborate with the world-renowned producer, Bob Rock. To mark this huge milestone, World of Tanks are bringing back their The Offspring-related in-game content!

Given numerous The Offspring fans among the 160-million audience of World of Tanks, the collaboration of the two was just a matter of time. First, it happened in 2019 when the members of the band were added to the game, alongside a truly punk-rock tank, and they even headlined Wargaming Fest in Minsk, Belarus. For those who couldn’t make it to the capital, The Offspring as animated in-game models performed a setlist featuring a collection of classics in the World of Tanks garage, meaning no one had to miss out.

With the release of the new album, tankers will be able to rock out while clashing on the battlefield in the TL-1 LPC, a Tier VIII American light tank, adorned in the awesome Pretty Fly 3D style. This style features everything the band needs to put on an impromptu show, including all their instruments, stagelights, and more. Attentive players and fans will also notice the skateboards featuring the iconic album artwork, including 1998’s Americana, affixed to the vehicle.

But what’s a tank without its crew? The TL-1 LPC Pretty Fly comes with Dexter, Noodles, Pete and Todd, and features custom voicelines unique to the crew. Tankers will also be able to once again get their hands on all manner of 2D The Offspring customization elements, including decals, inscriptions, emblems and the unique Turn It Up! 2D style.

“The Battle of Steeltown“ DLC: RESOLVE A WORKERS REBELLION AND GET THE GEARS OF STEELTOWN TURNING AGAIN

New Teaser Supporting DLC Launch Unveiled

Sydney, Australia, 16^th April 2021 –  inXile entertainment, the studio led by Interplay founder and Wasteland co-creator Brian Fargo and Deep Silverannounce that Wasteland 3—the award winning squad-based RPG released in August of last year—is getting its first narrative expansion DLC: “The Battle of Steeltown”

In southwest Colorado lies the towering factory complex of Steeltown, which manufactures all the tech that keeps Colorado running and the Patriarch in power; trucks, armour, weapons, and robots.

But deliveries are mixed up, late, or outright missing, and investigating Rangers find the industrial complex in disarray. Striking workers, bandit raids…not to mention the gates are locked tight. Without help, the area will revolt and take Steeltown’s leader—Abigail Markham—with it. But maybe that’s not such a bad thing; you and your team of Rangers will need to decide that for yourself.

A teaser trailer, giving gamers an insight into the new DLC, will go live at the same time. You can watch the teaser here

Players can explore the complex in solo or co-op mode, taking on new quests and facing a horde of new robotic enemies.

New mechanics have also been added to the tactical combat—stacking status effects, elemental shields, telegraphed attacks, and non-lethal weapons—giving fights a new dimension and allowing players to solve battles in brand new ways.

These new elements will also expand into the base game, along with new weapons, armour, encounters, giving the game a whole new experience and, depending on how far they’ve already progressed, will scale the combat and gear when entering Steeltown ensuring level-appropriate challenges.

“The Battle of Steeltown represents not just a fantastic new chapter in Wasteland 3’s story,” says Game Director, David Rogers “full of choice, consequence, and Wasteland 3’s unique brand of humor, it’s also a culmination of all the hard work we’ve put into the game since launch. For those playing Wasteland 3 for the first time they’ll be playing the best version of the game. For players coming back to visit Steeltown they’re in for a treat with new story, characters, and combat mechanics that really change up tactics in challenging new ways. They’ll also see characters and stories they started in the base game make an appearance, with new interactions for everyone’s favorite foul-mouthed parrot, Santa’s Elves “Where Are They Now?” and more. All of this is complemented with incredible new post-apoc music.”

The games music’s supervisor, Mary Ramos, along with composer Mark Morgan have also added their own original scores and post-apocalyptic inspired covers.

Wasteland 3: The Battle of Steeltown will be available for digital download on June 3, 2021 on PC & Consoles.

About Wasteland 3

Wasteland 3 is available for Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation® 4, Windows.

The legendary series, which pioneered the post-apocalypse genre in video games, returns players to the role of Desert Rangers, lawmen in a post-nuclear world working to rebuild civilization from the ashes. Trading the dry, dusty heat of the American southwest for a perpetually frozen Colorado, Wasteland 3 features new locations, a customisable vehicle, streamlined combat, and two player co-op as a first for the series. A deep, reactive story full of twists, turns, and brutal ethical decisions that will keep you hooked whether you’re a Wasteland veteran or new to the series.

Magic: The Gathering goes back to school in new set Strixhaven – Undertake your magical studies at the most elite university in the Multiverse

Friday 16 April, 2021 —Wizards of the Coast (WotC) today released Strixhaven: School of Mages, the newest set for the world’s oldest and best trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Centered around an elite academy for magecraft, Strixhavenreleases on MTG Arena today and for tabletop on 23 April. The new set features five unique colleges of magic, several new mechanics and special cards from Magic’s past for players to explore.

Set in the world of Arcavios, the new setintroduces powerful new spells and mages hailing from the five schools of Strixhaven colleges: Lorehold, Prismari, Quandrix, Silverquill and Witherbloom. A campus tour was streamed on WotC’s YouTube and Twitch channels last month, introducing players to the five major colleges. Each college is unique with its own magic prowess and players can pledge allegiance to one based on their expertise and playstyle using an online quiz.

With a large focus on instants, sorceries and colour pairings, Strixhavenintroduces new spell-based mechanics to give students an edge in battle. This includes “Magecraft”, an ability word that offers bonuses or effects for casting instant and sorcery spells, and “Learn”, which allows any Lesson cards owned by the player to be drawn from outside the game. Through creature tokens, players can also summon mascots from their college to aid them during a match.

Magic fans will also be given the chance to explore Strixhaven’s Mystical Archive which contains a vast collection of MTG’s most famous instants and sorceries from throughout the game’s history. 63 cards featured in showcase frames are up for collection, with a minimum of one non-foil Archive spell hidden within each Set Booster  or Draft Booster, and at least three variations in every Collector Booster. Players can also obtain special Japanese Mystical Archive variations with alternate artwork by Japanese artists by purchasing Strixhaven Collector Boosters or Japanese language Boosters, as well as in the MTG Arena store.

Godstrike, Boss Rush Bullet Hell Shooter, Now Available on Nintendo Switch, Steam

Race Against the Clock to Slay Gods in Battles Where Time is Your Health

MADRID – 16 April 2021 – Godstrike, the boss rush bullet-hell shooter where time is everything from publisher Freedom Games and developer OverPowered Team, is now available on Nintendo Switch and Steam for Windows PC.

In a realm where remnants of a fallen divine power spend eternity fighting amongst one another, hope for the future is a thing of the past. Until the forgotten splinter of divinity, Talaal, emerges from obscurity with its Herald Yissia to stand against Talaal’s siblings and their eternal war.

Harness Talaal’s unfathomable powers and duel against twisted creatures and strange beings in multi-staged boss battles. Move quickly and strike true as the Herald Yissia, weaving through incoming enemy fire while blasting back and unleashing god-granted powers to alter the flow of each battle. Make every second of each battle count — because in Godstrike, time functions as Yissia’s health bar and currency.

With each hit taken, Yissia and Talaal lose health and valuable seconds off the clock, making trading blows a dangerous proposition. And to complicate matters, each skill used drains the clock and the duo’s health, adding additional depth to each battle’s ballet of bullets. Outfit the Herald with an ever-expanding roster of skills and abilities in the form of blessings and occult boons that expand their powers at a cost.

Overcome Talaal’s trials in the Campaign Mode, where new skill unlocks are earned by defeating other Heralds. Combine skills and abilities to create surprising synergies that turn Yissia into a whirling force of destruction. Fire off True Shot, a curving homing attack with the bullet-clearing Astral Shield to strike foes without consequence. Experiment with the Herald’s myriad abilities to defeat Talaal’s wicked siblings. 

Master Heraldic powers in Arcade Mode where every ability is already unlocked or attempt to overcome the ultimate ordeal in a Challenge Mode with randomized boss orders and strange new blessings earned from each fight. Outplay the Godstrike community by taking on Daily Challenge runs with wickedly randomized modifiers or broadcast your journey to slay the Heralds on Twitch, with full-featured chat integration that allows viewers to impact the action by voting on status effects and more.

“Like Talaal and Yissia, we’ve been watching the clock with each passing day,” said Pablo Monroy, Art Director, OverPowered Team. “We are thrilled to bring Godstrike to Nintendo Switch and Steam today!”

Godstrike is now available on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC for $14.99 with an additional 20% launch discount on both platforms. The game includes full gamepad functionality as well as support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese language options.
