Dungeon Defenders: Awakened Marches onto Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One March 17

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – 24 Feb. 2021 – Dungeon Defenders: Awakened, the epic return of Chromatic Games’ multimillion-selling co-op tower defense action RPG series, deploys for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on March 17, 2021. The Xbox version launches with all of the content on Steam, including the Transmog system for character customization, the challenging Rifted modifier, and a variety of other features and improvements made since the initial PC launch.

Return to Etheria as the forces of darkness converge on exotic new locales and reimagined favorites. Prepare to repel the enemy’s advance by assembling defensive blockades and damage-dealing towers to destroy oncoming waves of trolls, goblins, and many more devious foes. Then dive into the action, storming onto the battlefield as one of five Defenders (with many more on the way), each of whom can utilize an assortment of skills, gear, and powerful special abilities to vanquish their foes in action-packed brawls.

Defend Etheria alone or join forces with up to four players in online co-op. Overcome challenges in the Campaign by clearing levels overrun with hundreds of enemies before preparing to take on epic boss encounters. Reap rewards like new gear, weapons, skill points, pets, and cosmetics to turn each playable Defender into an unstoppable Etherian hero.

Battle-hardened Defenders can test their mettle in alternate game types that remix the core experience with a range of new challenges. Rely solely on building prowess in Pure Strategy Mode or embrace Mix Mode’s unpredictable progression, where no two stages play out the same. Dive into Rifted maps, added with the recent version 1.2 update on Steam and available for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One at launch. Accessible during Campaign and Survival Mode sessions, Rifted maps scale down the number of enemies while introducing ultra-powerful versions of the hordes that reward new weapons, armor, and accessories.

Make a fashion statement while saving Etheria with the new Transmog system. Replace the look of any weapon or hard-earned accessory to create fully customizable Defenders without having to sacrifice stat-boosting equipment bonuses. Go the extra mile to let your personality shine by tweaking item colors of pretty much everything to make unique heroes.

“Dungeon Defenders: Awakened has always been about celebrating the franchise and the players that have supported it since the first game launched ten years ago,” said Augi Lye, CEO, Chromatic Games. “With the launch of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on March 17, we can’t wait for console players to return to Etheria and find more of the Dungeon Defenders magic they’ve grown to love.”

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened launches on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One March 17, 2021, for $29.99. Digital pre-orders will be available via the Microsoft Store starting March 3. The Xbox release contains all of the same content as the Steam version, with an update containing even more quality of life and improvements available shortly after launch. Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 versions of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened will be available later in 2021.

tinyBuild’s Cartel Tycoon Expands Operation to Steam Early Access 18 March

Drug Empire Simulator Comes to Black Market with New Story Content, Features

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA — 23 Feb. 2021 — Cartel Tycoon, the story-driven drug empire business simulator from publisher tinyBuild and newly acquired studio Moon Moose, begins its rise to power on Steam Early Access, the Epic Games Store, and GOG for PC on Thursday, 18 March. New character stories, deeper management systems, and deadlier dangers will expand upon Uncut Earliest Access.

Rule as a drug baron on a bigger scale than ever. New introductory missions provide a smooth learning curve for new players and a new story for veteran kingpins. Build a personal relationship with your lieutenants, each with a story-driven quest line. Leverage the common people’s loyalty to protect lieutenants and fend off law enforcement attacks. Capture new smuggling routes, like airports, seaports, and land checkpoints, to expand your empire.

Just as coca and cannabis plants flourished globally during the 1980s drug trade, Cartel Tycoon has grown and thrived during Uncut Earliest Access. Since the October 2020 launch, ongoing content updates have cultivated a strategically rich, narrative-centric experience. December’s feature-stuffed “Dirty Money Update” added cartel customization options, lieutenants with different loyalties and a chance to sabotage, and more uses for dirty money without needing to launder it.

For the cunning kingpin, money laundering is only the beginning. Grow an empire across a massive fictional continent by shrewdly planting farms, building workshops, establishing supply lines, and earning loyalty. Keep the money flowing to bribe local officials and deflect attention from international law enforcement. Commit forces to each region, including lieutenants with special buffs and abilities, to dominate enemy cartels and capture the market for a bevy of illegal substances.

Inspired by true stories of drug cartels and economic research into how they expand, Cartel Tycoon embraces the inevitability of death—from a rival’s bullet, as the DEA storms the premises, or at the hand of a traitorous lieutenant. No matter how skilled, death comes for every capo. But while the business will suffer for their hubris, the game goes on as existing lieutenants step up to fill the void. Lead the empire into a new generation, building atop success as the violent cycle continues.

Cartel Tycoon launches into Early Access on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG for PC on Thursday, 18 March. Cartel Tycoon: Uncut Earliest Access, an alpha release for early supporters, is available now for $19.99at carteltycoon.com. Early adopters of this version who purchase before 18 March will receive an exclusive starter character, hotel skin, and golden cartel logo in all future versions.

Follow the money trail on the official Cartel Tycoon website and check out the roadmap for Early Access, 1.0, and beyond. Chat with the developers and fellow aspiring drug lords on Discord, where players can ask for advice, share feedback, and make edgy drug jokes. Keep up with tinyBuild on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

The Game Awards’ Best Sports Game Ushers in New Platforms with Upgrades, High-Fidelity Atmospherics and Digital Deluxe Content

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – February 23, 2021 – Skateboard fans get ready to do a kickflip all over again when the critically acclaimed Tony Hawk’s^TM Pro Skater^TM 1 and 2 makes its way to PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 26 and lands on Nintendo Switch™ for the first time in 2021. The upcoming, next-gen versions of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 will give players a variety of upgrades, such as super crisp 120 FPS at 1080P, native 4K at 60 FPS[1], spatial audio and more, while the game on Nintendo Switch™ will give fans the chance to ollie with Tony Hawk and the line-up of pro-skaters on-the-go.

As the fastest Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game to sell 1 million units[2], Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is a faithful remaster of the first two iconic games in the franchise, blending all the original levels, pro-skaters, old-school tricks and more that gamers remember from the ‘90s and ‘2000s with new, beautifully recreated levels.

High-fidelity atmospherics will be added to the next-gen upgrade for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2. This unique graphical feature will allow players to enjoy the experience of sharper dynamic shadows, reflections and lens flares, as well as enhanced skater textures and more on next-gen consoles.

Digital players can upgrade to the Cross-Gen Deluxe Bundle with all the added features for an additional $10 SRP. The upgrade includes access to the secret skater Ripper (a.k.a. the infamous Powell-Peralta mascot), retro gear for Create-A-Skater mode, and retro skins for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen. Additionally, Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) is giving fans who already own the digital deluxe version of the game on PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One a next-gen upgrade at no cost (except in Japan) on March 26. See www.tonyhawkthegame.com/upgrade for upgrade details.

Getting to this milestone was no skate in the park. Skateboard icon Tony Hawk requested the help of videogame icon Crash Bandicoot to bring the remaster to new platforms, following the announcement that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time would be coming to next-gen platforms and Nintendo Switch™ on March 12. Crash, whose Bandicoot-branded swag appeared in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 this past November, leveraged his clout in exchange for a personal skating lesson from the original birdman himself, resulting in playful Twitter banter between the two videogame icons.

Pre-orders for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 on PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch™ start today in select territories. To learn more about distinct editions, next-gen feature sets, suggested retail pricing and instructions for installing, visit www.tonyhawkthegame.com/upgrade.

Nazi Occultists, Secret Agents, and Tentacles! Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 RPG Quickstart Available Now!

Popular WWII-based Lovecraftian Game Setting Gets its Own 2D20 Ruleset

London, UK (February 23, 2021) — Today Modiphius Entertainment, the London-based tabletop publisher and creator, announced the launch of the long-awaited Quickstart rules for its World War II-themed alternate-history Achtung! Cthulhu series. Previously an incredibly popular setting for Savage Worlds and Call of Cthulhu, Achtung! Cthulhu is now available as a standalone tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG), using Modiphius’ own cinematic-styled 2D20 system. The Quickstart rules are available for free from Modiphius’ Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 website.

This Quickstart ruleset will give players everything they need to get started with the world of Achtung! Cthulhu ahead of the game’s full launch. The free Quickstart PDF contains:

• A complete starter rule set for Achtung! Cthulhu 2D20 with plenty of hints and tips for new GMs 
• Begin your journey into The Secret War with the exciting adventure, A Quick Trip to France 
• Five pre-generated characters so you can pick up and play the game straight away 
• Battle the special Nazi occult forces and save humanity from the malign power of the Mythos!

Achtung! Cthulhu started out as a setting for Lovecraftian roleplaying — taking place during an alternate history World War II. A secret war is being fought as the Nazis forge alliances with ancient and terrible gods, unearth arcane technologies, and unleash nightmares on the battlefield. Players must discover the truth behind the Mythos’ influence as conflict engulfs the globe during the most significant conflict in world history.
 
In this pulp-influenced world of brave Allied heroes, secret agents, mysterious mystics, and dauntless two-fisted adventure, players take on the roles of Allied servicemen and women, secret agents, members of the French Resistance, or even hapless civilians caught up in the wider conflict. All stand firm against the twisted might of the Nazis and their occult forces, including the Cult of the Black Sun, who wield foul magic and summon ancient horrors in their bid to unleash Yog-Sothoth and Nachtwölfe, the Night Wolves, who place their trust in weird science and wonder weapons to prevail.
 
“We’re really excited to share this Quickstart version of Achtung! Cthulhu with our community and give them a first glimpse of what this new and updated edition has in store for them,” said Chris Birch, Founder of Modiphius Entertainment. “This latest edition delves deeper into the darker side of the mythos and throws players into an epic struggle against both the Nazi Occult and the Great Old Ones in a war that has spanned millennia.”
