The Pursuit of Happiness: The world as we know it is gone. Build a new home for the last human survivors!

Think like a Diplomat: The world beyond your safe and carefully crafted civilization is intimidating, but it’s your job to make the tough decisions that will secure the fate of your people, such as sending expeditions to remote, unexplored locations to source materials, locate resources, and more

San Diego and Foothill Ranch, CA – January 28, 2021 – Leading gaming accessory brand Turtle Beach (Nasdaq: HEAR) today announced a new partnership with Oakley®, a leader in sport performance and optical innovation. As a brand rooted in competition, Oakley continues expanding its lineup of eyewear developed for gamers who share a passion for performance. The new partnership pairs Turtle Beach’s expertise in creating high-quality, glasses-friendly gaming headsets with Oakley’s quest for optimized vision and performance in a collection designed to help gamers see better, hear better, and conquer their opponents.
The partnership launches with a collaborative Oakley x Turtle Beach Collection featuring Oakley’s Prizm™ Gaming Lens Technology that delivers next-level performance benefits for digital gaming by reducing eyestrain and fatigue. The result is a purpose-inspired collection that provides vision benefits while fitting seamlessly with Turtle Beach’s best-selling gaming headsets featuring the brand’s patented ProSpecs™ glasses-friendly technology for unmatched comfort.
“Turtle Beach and Oakley have been collaborating behind-the-scenes for several years to bring the best eyewear in gaming to market, leveraging Turtle Beach’s experience in gaming and esports to help develop a product that gives a competitive edge to gamers of all skill levels,” said Ryan Dell, SVP of Global Marketing at Turtle Beach. “With Oakley’s groundbreaking gaming eyewear and our high-performance gaming audio, we continue to strive for ways to advance glasses-friendly comfort and the overall gaming experience.

Build, Manage and Grow Your Prison in the Newly Reimagined Prison Tycoon Series
DENVER, COLORADO (January 28, 2021) — Ziggurat Interactive, publisher of multiplatform retro and modern games, announced today that Prison Tycoon: Under New Management is currently in development and planned for release later in 2021 on PC and console. This is the latest and all-new chapter in the Prison Tycoon series and will focus on the challenges of rehabilitating and reintegrating inmates back into healthy, functioning members of society. The game is being developed by award-winning Abylight Studios, which has produced many notable projects including Hyper Light Drifter, Tiny Thief, and Super Hydorah.
Prison Tycoon: Under New Management tasks players with creating and maintaining a successfully run prison — complete with security checkpoints, guard towers, prison cells, and inmate services. Would-be wardens will need to maintain a balance of services and security as they strive to run an efficient facility while keeping inmates on the path to reintegration. To grow their prison and improve their capabilities, players will need to secure funding from state agencies, manage the flow of resources and keep staff happy while providing proper care for their charges.
“We are thrilled to be working with Abylight Studios on a transcendent reimagining of the Prison Tycoon franchise,” said Wade Rosen, President of Ziggurat Interactive. “Under New Management is our opportunity to reboot the franchise with a modern mindset and positive outlook.”
More info about Ziggurat Interactive, its current lineup, and upcoming announcements is available on Facebook, Twitter, and the company’s official website, with info on their upcoming products to be announced on the same.

Developer Stormind Games bringing first wholly owned, original property to PC and Consoles
Catania, Italy – 28th January 2021: Stormind Games, developer of the critically acclaimed Remothered franchise and which recently announced its collaboration with award winning writer Anne Toole, Ron Fish – renowned composer of the Arkham Series & former Assassin’s Creed Concept Artist Borislav Mitkov is delighted to reveal the first details and trailer for their brand new IP, Batora: Lost Haven, coming to PC, Playstation 4 and 5, Xbox One and X and Nintendo Switch.
Built on a rich Action RPG foundation, Batora follows Avril – a regular 16-year old girl, not a natural born hero – as she realises, after losing everything she cares for, that she is the only one who can save a dying planet Earth from oblivion. This is how her interplanetary adventure starts: along this journey she will visit colorful and mysterious planets and meet intriguing characters – and she will learn that every choice has a consequence.
Far from a standard aRPG game, Batora is based on the duality between mind and body, introducing a new game mechanic that challenges players to find the perfect balance between the two – losing sight of one could mean that their journey is over. Batora doesn’t present the hero’s journey in black or white, good or evil: there are decisions and there are their consequences. Every single decision Avril makes will turn out to be important, often even life-changing, for the characters she meets or the places she visits.
“We live our lives in a constant state of flux between our physical and mental well being, often with little thought for how they affect each other.” commented Giacomo Masi, Narrative Designer on Batora: Lost Haven. “The journey which Avril takes in Batora really focuses on the need for a strategic dualism – mastering the balance between the physical and the mental – whilst presenting a multi-branching, narrative full of consequences, rich in plot twists and credible, like-able characters.”
The duality of the lead character is also one of Batora’s most unique features with players required to use the “switch mechanic” to alternate between their physical and mental states. Learning the right time to strike or not be struck and in which state to do so will present a considerable challenge to even the most experienced players.
Whilst taking the studio in a new direction and tackling a new genre, Batora will also stay true to Stormind’s core principles of offering intense, emotional stories in tandem with unique and distinctive art styles.
Gaetano Caltabiano, Art Director on the project, added “Bridging the gap between the physical and mental calls for a particular visual representation and we’ve really tried to distinguish between the two with a hand-painted approach inspired by Sci-Fi art of the 1950s versus the photo-realistic approach of many of today’s AAA titles. We’ve really drawn a lot of inspiration from the likes of Alphonse Mucha and the intense Sci-fi environments of Paul Lehr”
“We’re all extremely excited to finally be able to announce this new adventure to the world”, stated Antonio Cannata, CEO and Co-Founder of Stormind Games “This is Stormind Games’ first proprietary IP, and our first next-gen video game – we’re stepping up our game, and both as a man who works in this industry and as a passionate gamer, I can positively state that our team’s professional growth, together with the contribution of stars such as Anne Toole, Borislav Mitkov and Ron Fish, definitely makes Batora: Lost Haven our most ambitious project so far”
Batora: Lost Haven will launch for PC, Playstation 4 and 5, Xbox One and X and Nintendo Switch.

“We’re so excited that Curious Expedition 2 is complete and its many treasures are ready for plundering by would-be adventurers,” said Johannes Kristmann, Co-Founder at Maschinen-Mensch. “Finishing our game in the midst of a global pandemic has been a challenge, so we want to say a big thank you to our community for their invaluable feedback.

In a reimagined late 19th Century, it is 1886 and the world is waiting with bated breath in the lead up to Paris World’s Fair. During this time, an immense discovery has been made: mysterious islands in the oceans have begun to appear, only to vanish soon afterwards, as if by magic. The three great Explorer Clubs of Paris are now funding expeditions to these strange islands in a bid to make bold new discoveries, to be exhibited in their stands at the upcoming World’s Fair. Take on the role of an intrepid explorer, assemble your crew, and come across all manner of unique cultures, flora, fauna, treasures and more. With a timeless art style inspired by the classic Franco-Belgian comics of the 20th century and an arrestingly charming orchestrated soundtrack, Curious Expedition 2 is a pulp adventure storybook come to life.
Using a combination of hand-crafted and procedural gameplay and story elements, Curious Expedition 2 creates completely unique and epic adventures every time you play. It tells its story through traditional choice-based adventure mechanics, but also adds in resource management, turn-based exploration and combat sections with dice-roll mechanics, and roguelike elements. It’s a curious mix of genres and subgenres, all wrapped up in a streamlined and accessible gameplay experience with powerfully dynamic options.
In Curious Expedition 2, no two adventures are ever the same. Your character and those you recruit are all procedurally-generated with specific classes, but with their own unique look, abilities, strengths and weaknesses. On your adventures, all manner of unforeseen circumstances can positively or negatively impact your progress, so careful resource and sanity management is needed to make it back home with your spoils – and your team! There are multiple expedition types, each with their own unique goals and events. Will you seek out the legendary Golden Pyramid, or choose to recover the Rainbow Orchid instead? Plunder ancient shrines, haggle with traders or indiginous tribes, loot ghostly pirate ships, and a whole lot more in your own procedural pulp adventure. In Curious Expedition 2, a world of unimaginable wonder and surprise awaits!
Curious Expedition 2 is available now for PC (Steam®), priced at $/€19.99 / £16.99. Later in 2021 Curious Expedition 2 will come to Nintendo Switch™, Xbox and PlayStation® platforms.
