‘My Little Pony’ Franchise Gallops to Netflix with All-New Animated Feature Film and Series

CGI Movie and G5 Series will Exclusively Premiere Worldwide on Netflix

LOS ANGELES, CA– FEBRUARY 25, 2021 – Entertainment One (eOne), Hasbro’s entertainment studio (NASDAQ: HAS), announced  the highly anticipated all-new computer animated feature film based on the MY LITTLE PONY franchise will premiere on Netflix later this Fall. Fans can also look forward to the release of a new MY LITTLE PONY G5 series.

After a decade of heart-warming friendships, daring adventures, and endless laughs, the beloved pony world of Equestria is expanding to introduce a new generation of ponies to a new generation of fans. With even more humor, heart, and adventure, audiences will be swept away to a contemporary and immersive pony universe brought to life like we’ve never seen it before.

Animated by Hasbro’s Boulder Studio in Dublin, the new feature film is the first time the ponies will be seen in theatrical-quality CG animation. The movie is directed by Rob Cullen and Jose Ucha with Mark Fattibene as co-director.  Cecil Kramer and Peter Lewis are producers. 

In the new movie, the pony world of Equestria has lost its magic. (GASP!) Friendship and Harmony have been replaced by paranoia and mistrust, and Ponies now live separated by species. Sunny – a feisty and idealistic young Earth Pony – is convinced there’s still hope for this divided world… but her slightly misguided and often hilarious efforts to change hearts and minds have led to her being branded a misfit. When Sunny befriends a lost Unicorn named Izzy, who wanders innocently into the Earth Pony town of Maretime Bay, the town has had enough.  Izzy and Sunny must embark on an epic adventure that will include a daring jewel heist, outrageous conspiracy theories, elaborate musical numbers, and the world’s cutest flying Pomeranian. Their adventures will take them to faraway lands and force them to challenge the status quo by facing their fears and making new friends out of old enemies.  The world Sunny has dreamed of her entire life could finally become a reality as Sunny and her newfound friends fight to prove that even LITTLE ponies can make a BIG difference.

The adventures of Sunny Starscout and her friends will continue with an all-new, computer-animated series coming to Netflix.

The MY LITTLE PONY entertainment releases will be accompanied with toys informed by the updated animation style in addition to a robust portfolio of licensed products across fashion, home, publishing and lifestyle categories.

The new System Shock is a complete remake of the groundbreaking immersive sim, first released in 1994. Players, in the space-boots of an unnamed hacker who awakes after a six-month snooze, finds Citadel Station in quite the state. Murderous robots, killer cyborgs, and malicious mutants have run amok. And the station’s AI, SHODAN, seems to have developed quite the God complex.

• Hackers Gonna Hack: System Shock features a totally revamped hacking system featuring new 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) gameplay, providing new enemies and challenges 
• Familiar but… Different: Citadel Station is bigger and more terrifying than ever with all-new areas, traps, puzzles, and of course, plenty of secrets to uncover 
• The Sound of Terror: Re-recorded audio logs provide players with a drip-feed of horrifying lore as they piece together exactly what went wrong for the dwellers of Citadel Station 
• Robots and Zombies and Lasers… Oh My: Blast, smash, and occasionally flee from re-imagined enemies like angry Repair-Bots, “Hopper” Mobile Lasers, mutants, cyborgs, and all kinds of bloodthirsty monsters and aggressive automatons 

System Shock is available to pre-order today for PC and Linux via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Game Store for $44.95. The new playable demo can also be found on each of the respective storefronts.

Build and explore your own vision for the city of Paris, launching today in Early Access on Steam

Paris, France – 25th of February 2021 – Enodo Games, an independent French developer, is proud to announce the Early Access launch of The Architect: Paris on Steam, available today at 6pm CET (12pm EST, 9AM PST). In this construction game, players will be able to visit and discover Paris from every possible angle thanks to a unique 3D recreation of the French capital in which every building can be reimagined, redesigned and rebuilt. Players can shape the buildings, districts and iconic landmarks of the Parisian urban landscape as they wish to create their very own vision of Paris.

The Architect: Paris gives players the opportunity to explore and transform one of the world’s largest and most iconic capital cities. Players can redesign the architectural style of the Parisian districts – taking them back in the past with a medieval style or transforming the city into a world of tomorrow with futuristic buildings straight from a science fiction blockbuster. Players can even rebuild parts of famous monuments such as Notre Dame de Paris or the Eiffel Tower to make sure they fit with each unique reimagining of Paris.

The Architect: Paris empowers players with a complete architectural toolset to become a modern-day Baron Haussmann:

• The City View : This feature allows players to see Paris with an impressive level of detail and to admire their own creations from high above or at a ground level. Players can change the time of day and the weather to experience their designs whether the sun is shining or rain is pouring.
• The Strategic Map : Here players will be able to plan their next project by choosing which district will be transformed. Information regarding Main Projects and Landmarks are also available in this tool, allowing players to create grand designs.
• The Drawing Board : The heart of the game, where players can reshape every building by choosing among fifty different styles and by changing its height, features, rooftop and more… Explore your designs under different lights and create structures which come alive from dusk until dawn.
• The Plot Editor : When budding architects feel they are ready to rebuild the very foundations of the Parisian districts, the Plot Editor will allow players to completely transform the Parisian urban landscape right down to the roadmap.

The Architect: Paris launches today in Early Access, allowing players to get a first hands-on experience of the game and to allow the game to evolve with the feedback of the community. For Jean-Baptiste Reynes, the CEO of ENODO GAMES and the game’s Creative Director, Early Access is the perfect way to respond to player feedback: “The Architect: Paris is a construction game which puts players in the unique position of being able to remodel Paris according to their wishes and tastes. To interact with the community to fulfill their expectations is essential and will allow us to follow that path.”

Full gameplay footage of The Architect: Paris is available below:

During the Early Access phase, players will have access to several Parisian districts, which will grow to include the center of Paris, alongside the Seine and perhaps even more. New features will also be added in the coming months to offer even more customization choices to players.

A roadmap of upcoming features is already available in-game to ensure as much transparency as possible. Players can learn about upcoming districts and Designs to be added, along with new Tools and other features. Among those new additions, players will be able to enjoy full Mod access, sharing their creations, multi-Design buildings and also a Photo mode.

The Architect: Paris is available today, the 25^th of February 2021 at 6pm CET (12pm EST, 9AM PST), in Early Access on Steam for $17.99 / £13.90 / 14,90€.

About Enodo Games

From Enodo… to Enodo Games

Founded by two architects, the firm Enodo has been developing interactive 3D environments using video game technology for 15 years. These immersive environments allow varied professionals to enjoy unique experiences which are both very powerful and educational.

It is thus very naturally that Enodo Games came to be in 2014, when the founders of Enodo decided to reverse their process and to bring to the video game industry their expertise they acquired throughout the years. Being city builders enthusiasts, the team members designed the tools they would have liked to see in other games. The Architect: Paris does not give the possibility of building a city from a catalogue of different pieces of cities but to truly imagine, design and create the future of an existing city.

EXHILARATING MUSOU ACTION RETURNS IN SAMURAI WARRIORS 5

The Historical Drama Unfolds with Re-imagined Visuals and an All-New Storyline

Hertfordshire, 25^th February 2021 – KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force are excited to teleport gamers into an epic historical drama thanks to the return of one of its most iconic franchises, as SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 introduces a re-imagined experience – from the visuals to the storyline – to open the curtain on an all-new entry in the SAMURAI WARRIORS series. The electrifying 1 vs. 1,000 tactical action game is currently under development for the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 (playable on PlayStation®5 via Backward Compatibility), the Xbox One consoles (playable on Xbox Series X|S via Backward Compatibility), and Windows PC via Steam®, and is set to launch across Europe on July 27, 2021. To celebrate the announcement, KOEI TECMO Europe shared a brand-new trailer introducing the game’s vibrant art style.

SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 takes place after the end of the Ōnin War, during the Sengoku period, and tells the story of two of the most preeminent military commanders of this period – Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi. This title includes various eras from this period, including the younger years of Nobunaga, when he was known as “Owari’s Great Fool,” and the period of turmoil and upheaval leading to the Honnō-ji Incident.

All of the game’s character designs have been completely redesigned and re-imagined to help fit the storyline’s Sengoku time period. In total, SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 features 27 playable characters, including both new and returning warriors, from Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hideyoshi Hashiba to Nō, and Yoshimoto Imagawa. Original character Mitsuki, a Kōga Ninja, has also been added, with other new characters to be announced at a later date.

In addition, all-new Musou actions have been added to the series – including newly designed Musou Frenzy Attacks – elevating the thrill of blowing away hordes of enemy soldiers in exhilarating fashion. These actions are displayed in a vibrant new Japanese ink painting art style, elegantly evolving the SAMURAI WARRIORS series to showcase the Sengoku period in stunning fashion as the intertwining stories of Nobunaga and Mitsuhide unravel on screen like a Sengoku period picture scroll.

KOEI TECMO Europe also revealed that fans of the SAMURAI WARRIORS series will be able to get their hands on two different must-have special editions of SAMURAI WARRIORS 5, exclusively available through the KOEI TECMO Europe Online Store. The Treasure Box version of SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 includes the game’s soundtrack, an art book, a selection of postcards (alongside a display case), a deluxe cloth poster showcasing the game’s vibrant new art style, and a copy of the game, all packaged into a samurai themed collector’s box. The Collector’s Edition of the game includes all of the content featured in the Treasure Box version, alongside a mini acrylic stand set featuring the pivotal characters from this epic historical drama. Pre-orders for these versions of the game will open soon, with further details shared on the KOEI TECMO Europe social channels.
