Interactive Multimedia Art Experience Isolationist Nightclub Simulator Joins Steam on March 11th for PC and Mac

Melbourne, Australia — February 25, 2021 — Take refuge away from the pandemic and crazy world events for a little while in the Isolationist Nightclub Simulator, heading to Steam on March 11th. Explore a futuristic, neon lit, labyrinthine nightclub, playing mini-games, creating your own electronic music, traversing the forest-scale garden or just relaxing in one of many Chill Out rooms. 

Created by composer and sound designer Edwin Montgomery, Isolationist Nightclub Simulator is a sandbox-meets-multimedia art experience that depicts an all-too-familiar situation where plague has all but shut down life on Earth’s surface, driving you to escape into your very own vast and futuristic 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 and toilet wall graffiti with your messages. 


Isolationist Nightclub Simulator is supported by Creative Victoria’s COVID-19 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.

Czech It Out! A New Line of Vehicles Storms World of Tanks Blitz

5 Czechoslovakian medium tanks debut in the game today

Update 7.7 hits World of Tanks Blitz today and the headliners are the 5 brand-new Czechoslovakian vehicles which will become part of the European Tech Tree. This medium tank branch starts at Tier VI and runs all the way to Tier X and also brings with them new provisions: Goulash and Fried Cheese.

“It’s a great feeling when we bring new vehicles to the game for our players to enjoy, and our European community have been eagerly awaiting these steel beasts,” states Andrey Ryabovol, World of Tanks Product Director. “With every new tank we introduce, we also introduce a new challenge: there are weakspots, strengths, playstyles and more to discover.”

The 5 new tanks are:

·         Škoda T 25 (Tier VI)
·         Konštrukta T-34/100 (Tier VII)
·         TVP VTU Koncept (Tier VIII)
·         Škoda T 50 (Tier IX)
·         TVP 50/51 (Tier X)

Overall, the additions are dynamic, maneuverable, well-armed machines. The Škoda T 25 is the perfect stepping stone to the new line as it will provide tankers with a feeling of what to expect from the higher tiers. Just like the Swedish and Italian branches, the Czechoslovakian vehicles will be researchable from the Tier V Strv m/42. Two of the newly introduced mediums have classic guns with excellent penetration and high single-shot damage, while the other three feature guns with an autoloading system. At the top of the tree, the Tier X TVP T 50/51’s firepower is seriously impressive as a result of its 4-shell magazine.

Alongside the Czechoslovakian mediums, Update 7.7 also introduces a brand-new operation Colosseum that kicks off on March 1st. This time it will see tankers in an unusual Gladiators setting while completing missions to get great rewards, including a unique tank, camo and profile background!

Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle brings classics and culture to Planet Coaster: Console Edition

Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle brings classics and culture to Planet Coaster: Console Edition

Discover classic coasters and cultural celebrations with two new packs

Cambridge, UK – 25 February 2021 Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) today launched the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle for Planet Coaster: Console Edition, bringing timeless charm and international flair to players everywhere.

Following the success of Planet Coaster: Console Edition which launched in November 2020, the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle is the latest, and largest DLC to date. With a grand total of ten new rides – comprised of four coasters and six flat rides – over 250 new blueprints, and more than 900 shops, facilities, buildings, and scenery, there’s an abundance of new items for players to explore.

The Vintage Pack allows players to step back in time and discover the delights of yesteryear, with a beautiful selection of content themed around turn-of-the-century amusement parks. Joining the already fantastic array of coasters are Zephyrus, a high-speed, wooden coaster with a tarnished charm, and Aces Sky, which lets guests ‘pilot’ retro biplanes down a large wooden pipe as gravity and momentum work their magic. In addition to the two brand new coasters there’s also five fabulous flat rides for guests to enjoy. There’s Round The World, combining the gentle and spinning motions of a Ferris wheel; Loop Da Loop, a twin cabin inverting swinger from the 1930s; Test Flight, an inverting plane ride which the guests can control; Hurricane, twisting and turning action as a fairground staple; and Centrum, a classic carnival ride which spins at high speeds at a thrilling 50 degrees.

Aside from rides and coasters, the Vintage Pack is brimming with a whole new range of Victorian inspired scenery, decorative trimmings and architecture. From art deco stages on which a barbershop quartet sings tunes, to a sophisticated trapeze playground for professional tumblers to swing and twirl, players won’t be short of ways to add some pizazz to their parks.

With the World’s Fair Pack players can pay homage to the sights and sounds of China, USA, France, Morocco, Italy, Germany, Japan, UK, Mexico, and Spain as they take guests on a whistle-stop tour of some of the planet’s most iconic destinations. Each country has its own theme offering up unique shops, restaurants and scenery options. From cultural props and giant food signs, to brand new wall set styles based on the new country themes complete with shop panels, doors and roof pieces, players have everything they need to build the ultimate international entertainment park.

There’s also three new rides to discover, Jixxer & Interceptor are a duelling duo of launched coasters. Guests hop on their very own motorcycle and speed down a track that whips and winds around itself, giving the impression of a high-speed bike chase. Polarity offers guests a new way to travel with its rapid transport system which uses magnetic forces to propel the coaster train around the park.

Everything in the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle is fully compatible with the Frontier Workshop. This online sharing hub is built from the ground up for console, letting players publish their creations for others across the world to download – so long as they have the relevant DLC.

The Vintage and World’s Fair Bundle is out now for Planet Coaster: Console Edition on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5 for a suggested retail price of £11.99/$14.99/€12.99. The packs are also available for purchase individually for a suggested retail price of £7.99/$9.99/€9.99.

About Destroy All Humans!

The cult-classic returns and invades everything but your privacy on July 28 2020! Terrorise the people of 1950s Earth in the role of the evil alien Crypto-137. Harvest DNA and bring down the US government in the remake of the legendary alien invasion action adventure. Annihilate puny humans using an assortment of alien weaponry and psychic abilities. Reduce their cities to rubble with your flying Saucer!

One giant step on mankind!

Destroy All Humans! is a cult classic and one of the few games that will have you laughing out loud. Many games have taken inspiration from its mix of humoristic story-telling and easily accessible open world shooter action, as well as its wide range of over-the-top weaponry. But there can only be one Cryptosporidium: the human-hating alien with the voice of an angry Jack Nicholson and a shorter fuse than a xenomorph on steroids.

Step right up and enjoy the show!

Only Destroy All Humans! allows you to explore idyllic US cities of the 1950s, read the thoughts of their citizens to uncover their secret desires… and then burn the very same cities to the ground with the mighty Death Ray of your flying saucer!
