Ten ancient Gods, eight Celtic warriors, one brutal world

Sydney, 29^th January 2021 | Deep Silver is pleased to announce Gods Will Fall – a high-stakes, dark fantasy action game featuring the few remaining Celtic warriors of a destroyed army – is out today on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Nintendo Switch™, PC and Google Stadia.

Gods Will Fall is developed by the Manchester-based indie studio Clever Beans. Use your eight different warriors, each equipped with their own weapon, to unravel the dark secrets of every ancient God. With a pick up and play combat style that is easy to learn but hard to master, a massive challenge awaits all who venture within.

Gamers can choose either the standard edition or the Valiant Edition, which includes Hunter’s Head Gear (previously available for those who pre-ordered the game) and the Valley of the Dormant Gods DLC.

The Hunter’s Head Gear is assigned at random in each new game playthrough. The thrill of the hunt runs through the blood of the clan and it is ritual for the trophies seized to be worn proudly and displayed for all to take notice. The hides of five exclusive beasts; a wolf, bear, boar, fox and badger are fit to be worn by any warrior and shall act as an emblazoned warning to the gods that the hunt is indeed on.

The Valley of the Dormant Gods DLC further enhances the game with three new gods – in addition to the 10 already in the game – two new weapon classes, new items, new skills, overworld extras and warriors garb. The content will be released episodically as three new levels within the game in the coming months post-launch. Each level will include a new God, alongside the other bonus content.

• Three New Gods – Enter and battle your way through three new infernal god realms. Each of these uncharted hellscapes, inhabited by abominable swarms of minions, will be a gruelling test to your mettle.
• New Weapon Classes – Play as two new barbarous warrior types, each with their own unique death-dealing style of combat.
• New Items – A windfall of new gear and provisions to aid your clan in battle and turn the tides of war.
• New Skills – New methods of melee to further expand your warriors’ combat system and ensure the apt champion is chosen for the battle that lies ahead.
• Overworld Extras – As you traverse the tranquil overworld, keep your eyes peeled and unearth the hidden secrets now spread across the serene landscape.
• Warriors Garb – Suit up your clan in the finest battle-ready attire and headgear for extra swagger as they enter the fray.

Story

You Are The Last Hope For Humanity

The gods’ torturous rule over humanity has lasted for millennia. Bent on cruelty and suffering, they demand to be served with blind worship through an oath of fealty pledged from every man, woman and child. To those who don’t submit to the gods’ will; a slow and merciless death awaits.

Experience the brutal trials of a venturous band of warriors in their desperate plight to sever the gods’ callous grip on humanity. Every man and woman who can muster a blade, having suffered the brutality of the gods’ reign for too long, will be called upon to form your clan of eight Celtic survivors and rise up to take on the legions of horrific beasts and minions that dwell in each of the gods’ hellish realms.  

A personal tale emerges with every decision made. Succeed and see legends born. Fail, and watch lives turn to dust.

Gods Will Fall is out today digitally on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Stadia.

The fifth DLC pack in the Civilization® VI – New Frontier Pass,the Vietnam & Kublai Khan Pack,is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, Mac and Linux! Below are the full details:

FEATURES

This new content pack introduces Bà Triệu as the leader of Vietnam and Kublai Khan as an alternate leader of either China or Mongolia in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI. 

The pack includes the Vietnam civilization with Bà Triệu, the Voi Chien unique unit and the Thanh unique building:

• Civ Unique Ability: Vietnam’s unique ability is “Nine Dragon River Delta.” All land specialty districts can only be built on Rainforest, Marsh or Woods tiles. Buildings on each type of tile receive either additional Science, Production or Culture. This ability also allows Woods to be planted with the Medieval Faires civic;
• Leader Unique Ability: Bà Triệu’s unique ability, “Drive Out the Aggressors,” provides additional Combat Strength for units fighting in Rainforest, Marsh or Woods tiles; this bonus is further increased for tiles owned by Vietnam. Beginning a turn in Rainforest, Marsh or Woods also provides additional Movement, which is also further increased for tiles owned by Vietnam;
• Unique Unit: Vietnam features the unique Medieval era ranged unit, the Voi Chien. This unit can move after attacking and has additional Movement. It is more expensive than the Crossbowman unit it replaces, but is stronger when defending and has greater sight;
• Unique District and Buildings: The Thanh unique district offers additional Culture for each adjacent district. Once Flight is researched, the district generates Tourism equal to its Culture output. It does not require a population and is cheaper to build than the Encampment district it replaces.

This pack also includes Kublai Khan as an alternate leader for China and Mongolia:

• Leader Unique Ability: Kublai Khan’s unique ability, “Gerege,” provides one extra Economic policy slot in any government. It also grants a random Eureka and Inspiration when establishing a Trading Post in another civilization’s city for the first time;
• As a leader of China, Kublai Khan’s science boosts are even more powerful, and his extra policy slot empowers economic strategies. As a leader of Mongolia, Kublai Khan leverages trade routes for military might.

New “Monopolies & Corporations” Game Mode*

The Vietnam and Kublai Khan Pack also introduces the new game mode, Monopolies and Corporations. This optional game mode elevates strategic economic gameplay to a whole new level, offering enticing new rewards based on claiming, acquiring, and exploiting map resources in every era:

• Create an Industry around duplicate Luxury resources to grant buffs to host cities and provide bonus Great Merchant points;
• Transform Industries into Corporations, which can be given customized names, increase Industry effects, and create Products. Products can be shipped to other cities to share Industry effects throughout a civilization;
• A Monopoly is created when a civilization dominates the global supply of a Luxury Resource. Monopolies provide additional Tourism and can significantly increase the Gold generated each turn, especially for civilizations focused on global trade.

New District and Buildings

The Vietnam and Kublai Khan Pack also includes a new district and new buildings:

• New District: The Preserve district is placed in a secluded area untouched by infrastructure. It can Culture-bomb adjacent unowned tiles, gains additional Housing based on Appeal and increases the Appeal of adjacent tiles;
• New Buildings: Two buildings can be constructed in the Preserve district. The Grove unlocks with Mysticism, while the Sanctuary unlocks with Conservation. Both increase the yields of adjacent Charming and Breathtaking tiles that have not been improved.

Assets are available at the 2K Newsroom. The Vietnam & Kublai Khan Pack is the fifth of several bimonthly DLCs coming to Civilization VI as part of the Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass, which brings eight new civilizations, nine new leaders, six new game modes and more to the critically-acclaimed strategy game. The Civilization VI – New Frontier Pass is priced at $59.95 AUD; the Vietnam & Kublai Khan Packis available for individual purchase at $13.45 AUD.

Magic: The Gathering’s most metal set yet introduces new cards on Arena
today

Friday 29 January, 2021 — Wizards of the Coast (WotC) today released the latest set for the world’s oldest and best trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Launching on MTG Arena today and releasing in stores on Friday 5 February, Kaldheim is a Viking-themed set inspired by Norse mythology, featuring strong metal themes. Several of the exciting new cards from Kaldheim were introduced through collaborations with popular
global metal bands Sabaton , Amon Amarth , Rhapsody of Fire and Australian group In Hearts Wake.

WotC’s Week of Metal on Twitch showcased a number of metal bands as they spoke about their love for Magic and excitement for what Kaldheim would bring. Each band also had the opportunity to showcase a new card from Kaldheim and reveal new characters and mechanics to set the stage for Magic’s next premiere card set.

Kaldheim introduces two new mechanics to Magic: Boast and Foretell. ‘Foretell’ allows players to exile a card and pay its Foretell cost instead of its usual casting cost at a later stage, prompting their opponents to keep their wit against banked cards that can be played at reduced cost. ‘Boast’, true to a bloodthirsty viking’s nature, can activate when a creature with the ability attacks, giving players an extra incentive to attack opponents early and
often.

Snow, modal double face cards and sagas return in Kaldheim , each in unique ways. In addition to these epic mechanics comes the new showcase frames for Kaldheim. Legendary cards such as Halvar the God of Battle and Tibalt the Cosmic Imposter will arrive in style through Kaldheim’s unique showcase frames, presenting chiseled patterns reminiscent of ancient carved stone.

About Spirit Untamed

An epic adventure about a headstrong girl longing for a place to belong who discovers a kindred spirit when her life intersects with a wild horse, Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation.
Lucky Prescott never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro, a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier.
Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim, in Miradero.
Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone and Pru Granger.

When a heartless horse wrangler and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy that she never expected.
Spirit Untamed, the follow-up to DreamWorks Animation’s Oscar®-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, is directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is produced by Karen Foster (co-producer, How to Train Your Dragon). The film’s co-director is Ennio Torresan (head of story, The Boss Baby), and the film’s score is by composer Amie Doherty (Amazon’s Undone, DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned).

A Heartful of Games

AHEARTFUL OF GAMES (AHEARTFUL) is an independent game studio based in Madrid, Spain. Since our Kickstarter debut on 14th of February, we’ve strived to make compelling and innovative games. Heart&Slash was our first project, and stood out for its unique visual style and virtually endless replayability, making it an engaging couch brawler experience. Founded in humble beginnings, H&S’s development was entirely remote and lasted over 18 months, all the while maintaining an active Early Access campaign. Heart&Slash was released on Steam, Xbox One and PS4 in 2016. The Nintendo Switch release came out during Christmas 2018. At the end of 2015, while H&S’s development was ramping down, AHEARTFUL collaborated with Kaia Studios with their debut title Dynasty Feud a 2D fast-paced 4-player brawler centered on one-hit-kill as a core mechanic. In a match of Dynasty Feud, players control all the family members of warrior dynasties, replacing each other after each death. Dynasty Feud earned multiple honors and awards for its engaging gameplay and support for online play. In 2017, we began the pre-production of IRONSKINS, for which so far, AHEARTFUL has received both the CREATIVE MEDIA and RED.ES grants. IRONSKINS is still in development today and is scheduled to release in 2020.

UnderMine Unearths Nintendo Switch Release on 11 February

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – 29 January, 2020 – UnderMine, the action-adventure roguelike brimming with secrets from developer Thorium Entertainment, strikes it rich with a release on Nintendo Switch on Thursday, 11 Feb., after more than 600,000 players enjoyed the game on Steam and via Xbox Game Pass.

With pickaxe in hand and bravery in heart, control a foolhardy peasant bent on delving into a mysterious mine in search of untold riches. Fight for life against the dangers awaiting in the dark depths. Venture through the lowest reaches until that commoner meets their doom, then send the next unfortunate soul to retrieve their gear and plumb further into the caverns.

Use bombs to blow up walls and rocks to unearth secret passages, collect precious gold before the slimy Pilfers claim it, and rescue potential allies deep within the mine. Fight against the devious dungeon denizens all the way to the end of each level where room-filling bosses stand between the fearless miner and their objective.

Get creative with each new run, desperately scavenging ability-granting relics, potions with magical effects, treasure, and other items, hoping that the next run goes more smoothly than the last. Make the difficult choice to either hoard gold for the subsequent descent or spend the hard-earned cash on useful items or helpful upgrades.

Master the mines, then seek new challenges in the true roguelike Othermine, starting fresh without any upgrades, for nearly endless replayability. After five major content updates during Early Access, Thorium will continue to expand the mine’s operations with post-launch updates arriving on all platforms in the coming months.

“Ever since we released our first Early Access version, the question our fans kept asking was ‘When is it coming to Switch?’” said Derek Johnson, Founder, Thorium Entertainment. “Releasing a game on a Nintendo platform is a dream come true, and we look forward to new fans joining the horde this February!”

UnderMine launches Thursday, 11 Feb., on Nintendo Switch for $19.99. UnderMine supports English, French, German, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian language text.

For more information, please visit UnderMine’s official website, check out the game on Twitter and Instagram, join the official Discord server, and follow Thorium on YouTube and Twitch.

About Thorium Entertainment

Founded in 2015 by Derek Johnson, with his fellow former Relic Entertainment co-worker Clint Tasker joining him, the two-person Vancouver studio brought together by their passion for games. The duo was inspired by their experience in AAA development and the processes that make those games great while having the benefits of independent development, such as artistic integrity and being true to themselves. At the end of the day, Thorium knows games are meant to be fun, and if they’re not enjoying the process, their players aren’t going to enjoy the game. UnderMine is the studio’s debut title, initially released for Steam Early Access in 2019.
