Players and teams from all over the world will battle for a grand prize of $10,000 USD

SAN FRANCISCO – February 3rd, 2021 – KingsGroup, a global leader in the mobile gaming and entertainment industry, is proud to announce that the State of Survival Reservoir Raid Nations Cup has begun. State of Survival, a zombie-themed survival strategy mobile game, added a new competitive player versus player (PvP) game mode, Reservoir Raid, last year. With the introduction of the Nations Cup, alliances and players from all over the world now have the chance to play against each other, and crown their first Nations Cup Champion.

In Reservoir Raid, two players battle each other for State of Survival’s most valuable resource – water. In a similar style to a King of the Hill match, teams aim to control water reservoirs and water treatment centres in order to score points. Occupying other key points on the battlefield, such as workshops and power stations, will provide you with special bonuses and benefits which can help to turn the tide of battle. Reservoir Raids are lengthy, tactical battles of attrition, with up to 30 players from every alliance able to join. The winner is the team that has accumulated the most points through water reserves once the game has finished.

To celebrate the launch of the Reservoir Raid Nations Cup, players can take part in The Nations Cup, a global esports tournament where alliances from all across the world will face off against each other in Reservoir Raids. The winning alliance will not only be crowned World Champion but will also take home a $10,000 USD cash prize and $ 20,000 in-game rewards.

Currently, the tournament is in the registration stage, (January 25th until February 7th). The Points Race (qualifiers) will begin on February 13rd and end on March 1st in North America, Europe, East Asia and Southeast Asia & Middle East. The Points Race will last for two weeks, after which the top alliances from each region will battle it out in the Semi-finals and Final.

Players can download State of Survivalfor free on the App Store and Google Play and jump straight into the fight to survive.

Godlike Burger will have a playable demo available as part of the Steam Games Festival from February 3rd through February 9th. 

Godlike Burger is a business simulation in the style of the classic Pizza Connection. As the player, you run a burger joint in outer space. Start by setting up the tables, equipment and decor, then get to serving your customers who rush into the restaurant in waves. Unknown to your patrons, the secret ingredient in your burgers is the customers themselves! As both manager and cook, you somehow have to kill your customers, whether you lure them into traps or simply stab them to death, and bring the “ingredients” into the kitchen. Make sure you avoid detection as the space police enjoy a good burger and always seem to be on the watch for missing aliens. Sound a little gruesome? Don’t worry! The game has a hilarious comic aesthetic that allows you to concentrate on the humour while making a great burger. 

Key features:

• Your Restaurant. Your space-diner has plenty of parking, lots of seating, bathrooms and everything you need to bring in customers.
• Your Food. It’s the tastiest in the galaxy because it’s made from the most delicious ingredients: the customers themselves! 
• Cooking. Different alien races want their burgers done their way. This means each race wants different meats and sauces. Cook to order and meet the demands of your exacting alien clientele.
• Daytime Gameplay. During the day, customers arrive in waves seeking delicious food, placing orders and demanding good service. Keep them happy or they’ll get annoyed and leave before you have the chance to turn them into burgers.
• Nighttime Gameplay. Each evening you spend time upgrading your restaurant, setting up the menu, managing the business or flying it to new parts of the galaxy.
• Harvest Ingredients. Hidden Traps allow you to kill your customers unnoticed and when the traps fail, pull out your cleaver and collect the tastiest cuts of meat you need to build burgers.
• Avoid Detection. Space cops are a suspicious bunch and can be alerted by escaped customers or may spot wrongdoings if they drop by for a burger. Don’t get caught or you’ll get closed down.

Godlike Burger is set to enter Early Access on Steam in the first half of 2021. Get more information on Steam.

Break the Lockdown Blues and Create the Night of Your Dreams Without Leaving Your Room – Isolationist Nightclub Simulator Slated for Launch on Steam Soon

Create your own electronic music, play mini-games or just explore the various rooms of your nightclub in relaxing sandbox experience

Melbourne, Australia — February 3, 2021 — If lockdown is driving you stir crazy, escape to your very own nightclub in Isolationist Nightclub Simulator, coming to Steam next month. In a relaxing sandbox-meets-multimedia art experience, you can create, explore or simply relax in the lush vibes of this expansive virtual space all your own.

In a dark, yet all too familiar time, a plague has all but shut down life on Earth’s surface, driving you to the safety of your very own fallout shelter where you escape into the vivid simulation of a futuristic, neon lit and labyrinthine nightclub. Create your own music (no prior skill required!) using in-game instruments, including a synth keyboard, drum machine, bass loops and arpeggiator, or occupy yourself with an assortment of mini-games in your club’s Arcade. Feel like just relaxing instead? Explore a series of serpentine spaces, such as an art gallery, a forest-scale garden and a number of Chill Out rooms where you can sit back with a virtual drink and relax with soothing music – perhaps of your own making. You can also leave notes for other players with the in-game messaging system, which randomly populates items such as drink coasters or toilet wall graffiti with your messages.

“Following on from a project I released last year called Neon Cyborg Cat Club, I felt compelled to create a new world that was much more expansive and interactive,” said Edwin Montgomery, Composer and Developer. “As we’re all spending so much time at home these days, I wanted to build a virtual space that would offer a sense of discovery, play and creation. Isolationist Nightclub Simulator provides an experience that anyone can enter and make their own.”

Isolationist Nightclub Simulator is supported by Creative Victoria’s Sustaining Creative Workers grant and is designed to provide a relaxingly creative experience that offers a little something for everyone, no matter what mood you are in. Isolationist Nightclub Simulator is expected to launch on Steam soon for the price of $5USD with a 10% sale at launch.

Studio Koba’s debut title arms players with the Techno-Sword and whisks them away to the Digital Kingdom later this spring on PC and consoles.

Wednesday, 3^rd February 2021 – Team17 and Studio Koba have revealed the international games label is joining forces to publish the Spanish studio’s debut title, Narita Boy. The side-scrolling mystical techno-tale, which will release this spring on Steam, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One – including on release day with Xbox Game Pass for PC and Console – is a heart-felt love story to the 1980s, featuring a narrative-driven adventure that takes players to a game inside a game, battling powerful bosses and overcoming puzzles in order to uncover the secrets of the Digital Kingdom and – ultimately – its creator.

Narita Boy puts players in the shoes of the eponymous digital warrior chosen to wield the Techno-Sword, a legendary weapon capable of defeating fearsome foes in melee or from afar as it instantly transforms into a shotgun or devastating laser beam. By using this new weapon and with the help of the Motherboard, the spiritual leader of the Digital Kingdom, players will face corrupted enemies and hulking bosses to save the electronic synthwave world from the invading Stallions, a group of rogue code bent on forced rule and subjugation. During the journey, players will also explore the memories of the creator that reveals his story, from his early years in Japan, to his creation of – and connection with – the Digital Kingdom.

Key Features:

• Go back to the future: A homage to the eighties with a new spin on classic gameplay styles, Narita Boy takes players back in time for blast from the past
• You have the power!: The Techno-Sword can be used alongside mysterious magic so that players can carve and blast their way through enemies great and small
• Might as well jump: The classic 2D platformer will see players explore imaginative landscapes and navigate a plethora of pixel art environments
• Pixel-perfect story: Encounter weird and wonderful digitised characters on a journey to discover the secrets of the Digital Kingdom and its elusive creator
• Pump up the jam: Inspired by the glory days of analogue synthesizers, the pumping soundtrack turns back the clock for this techno-journey.

Narita Boy came to the attention of Team17’s indie games label following Studio Koba’s successful Kickstarter campaign that saw over 5,000 people back the game, leading to it smashing stretch goals.

Narita Boy powers Saving The Arcade World

Today also sees the launch of the Saving The Arcade World, a campaign powered by Narita Boy and created to raise awareness of the plight facing arcade games and arcade amusements. Team17 is partnering with The Strong: National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York; The National Videogame Museum in the UK; and Arcade Vintage: Museo del Videojuego in Spain, to ensure this distinct and important part of video games history is protected and preserved.

IRVINE, Calif. – February 1, 2021 – SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are returning to the streets of Kamurocho, Tokyo, to present Judgment’s tale of murder and mystery in remastered form on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Stadia on April 23 for $39.99. Judgment takes advantage of the new hardware with refined visuals in 60 frames per second along with improved load times and includes all previously released DLC on these three platforms.

Praised as “the best crime drama not on TV” by the Hollywood Reporter, Judgment was originally released on PlayStation 4 in 2019. The remastered Judgment marks the gritty tale’s debut on Xbox and Stadia. Investigate the new trailer here:

Judgment is an action thriller that puts players in the shoes of Takayuki Yagami, disgraced attorney turned rugged private detective, as he uncovers the mystery behind a grisly series of murders. Joined by his partner, ex-yazuka Masaharu Kaito, Yagami must claw his way through Kamurocho’s criminal underground to unravel the truth – as painful as it may be.

In addition to locale, Judgment takes on the classic hallmarks of the Yakuza series through the eyes of Yagami. Fans will recognize rough-and-tumble street fights, engrossing side missions with locals, and comedy breaks with mini-games. Judgment ups the ante with emphasis on investigative gameplay tracking suspects and discovering clues as Yagami walks the thin line of justice in a world of corruption. Packed with a thrilling story, filmic combat and a cast of intense characters, Judgment will keep all aspiring private detectives on their toes.
