Get to Know “The Cleaners” in New Back 4 Blood Trailer

Warner Bros. Games and Turtle Rock Studios have released a new Back 4 Blood trailer spotlighting the diverse characters and personalities that make up the Ridden slaying crew known as “The Cleaners.” The video introduces each of the eight playable Cleaners – Holly, Walker, Doc, Karlee, Jim, Hoffman, Evangelo, and Mom – and expands on their background, characteristics, and in-game abilities. The trailer also provides a glimpse into the range of Ridden variants players will take on, including beastly Breakers, grotesque Ogres, screeching Snitchers, ravenous Hags, and more.

The complete team of Cleaners in Back 4 Blood includes:

• Holly – After losing her family to the Devil Worm, Holly Forrester learned to channel all her energy into being a Cleaner and is known as the glue that keeps the team together. Armed with her trusty nail spiked baseball bat she affectionately calls “Dottie,” Holly’s resilience and never-say-die attitude helps boost the team’s morale and is often seen as a ray of light in the darkness of the apocalypse.
• Walker – The oldest of five siblings, Elijah Walker was born in Evansburgh to a hardworking, blue collar family. The former Army Ranger and war-torn veteran is highly skilled with a wealth of front-line combat experience. Walker is a man of few words, but when he speaks, he commands the attention of his fellow Cleaners, who all respect his commitment to the fight.
• Doc – She has been instrumental in keeping Fort Hope up and running, but this is far from the life Doc expected when she first came to America. Fiercely independent, she sacrificed social life for career. It wasn’t until years later that she finally found a kindred spirit in Mom. After the Collapse, Doc’s no-nonsense attitude and pragmatic outlook served her well. Though her bedside manner can take some getting used too, no one denies she’s one hell of a doctor and a mean shot to boot.
• Karlee – Surviving on the outskirts of Fort Hope since the Collapse, Karlee only trusted in herself. No one knows much about her, and she’s fine with that. Though originally seen as a nuisance at best and a looter at worst, her actions have proved time and time again which side she’s on. Now with the Ridden on the rise, she’s made the choice to fight alongside the survivors. She may not be a Cleaner by name, but she more than makes up for it in attitude.
• Jim – Nobody knows Finleyville and the surrounding county like Jim. From an early age, he would head out into the countryside with his father, hunting and trapping with the best of them. After a stint in the military, he returned home, only to see it ravaged by the Collapse. Now he’s found his place among the most trusted cleaners. When not fighting back-to-back with his team, he’s scouring the countryside of his beloved Pennsylvania routing out the Ridden infestation.
• Hoffman – A meticulous individual, enthusiastic prepper, and conspiracy theorist. When the infection hit, he and his mother hunkered down and rode out the storm as the rest of the world fell into chaos. After his mother passed away in her sleep and his supplies ran out, he left his boarded-up house to face the world of the Devil Worm. Howard Robert Hoffman is genuinely skilled and good hearted, with an earnest desire to be a useful part of the team. As part of the Cleaners, he’s finally come across the family that he’s always wanted – he just had to wade through the zombie apocalypse to find it.
• Evangelo – He may be the youngest and least experienced Cleaner on the team but has proven to be a quick study. Besides being good in a fight, Evangelo has established himself as a loyal and reliable member of the team. He tends to talk a lot, especially when he’s nervous, but is eager to show that he has what it takes to be a Cleaner.
• Mom – The only person surprised that Mom became the voice of survivors in Finleyville was herself. She’s never shirked from a challenge and always puts the needs of others over her own. Still, for one who’s used to bucking authority, her newfound responsibility sometimes weighs uneasily on her. Although she has faith in her Cleaners, Mom has questioned other leaders’ strategies on more than one occasion, especially since the death of her son. Mom’s goal is simple, make the Ridden pay.

Back 4 Blood is a first-person co-op zombie shooter from the creators of the critically acclaimed Left 4 Dead franchise and features thrilling, dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay and highly variable, customisable action to keep players coming back for more. The Back 4 Blood story takes place after a catastrophic outbreak where most of humanity has either been killed or infected by the parasitic Devil Worm. Hardened by unspeakable events and emboldened to fight for the last of humanity, a group of apocalypse veterans called the Cleaners have rallied to take on the infected horrors known as the Ridden and reclaim the world.

Back 4 Blood will be available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation® 5, PlayStation® 4, and PC on Oct. 12, 2021. Pre-orders will receive a bonus Fort Hope Elite Weapon Skin Pack. Players can register now at www.Back4Blood.com for their chance to participate in upcoming hands-on tests.

MARVEL’S AVENGERS RED ROOM TAKEOVER EVENT NOW LIVE

New Challenges in the HARM Room Await!

SYDNEY (May 21, 2021) – Today, SQUARE ENIX Ltd. announced that the Red Room Takeover event for Marvel’s Avengers has gone live. First revealed at SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS, the single-player-focused Red Room Takeover event involves a mysterious spy who has hacked into and transformed the Avengers’ HARM Room into a deadly crimson trap. The Red Room Takeover event runs until May 31.

Watch the Red Room Takeover Trailer Here

The Red Room Takeover starts after nearly two weeks of players investigating the “Rooskaya Protocols,” a mysterious program that has infiltrated AIM Synthoids. It is believed that Protocol Chips collected from hacked AIM tech hold the key to unravelling the enigma, but whatever, or whomever, made the Rooskaya Protocols has also corrupted the Avengers’ HARM Room. Now, players must uncover encrypted messages addressed to Black Widow from an old friend who has taken over the HARM Room, turning it from a training facility into a deadly trap. The threats are no longer virtual: players must defeat the deadly onslaught and regain control of the HARM Room.

Players who complete event-related missions with any Super Hero in their roster will be rewarded with valuable in-game resources as well as a special themed animated nameplate that any of their Heroes can use.

God of Riffs Turns VR Rhythm Games Up to 11 on Steam Early Access 27 July

 Rock Out in Metal Heaven on Oculus Rift and Oculus Quest

Perth, Australia — 20 May 2021 — God of Riffs, the rhythmic heavy metal slasher from publisher Vyersoft and developer Boss Music Games, sets the stage for battles against the undead when it launches on Steam Early Access Tuesday, 27 July with support for Oculus Rift, Rift S, and Quest.

There’s no stairway to heaven for the god of riffs. Wield musical battle axes to attack incoming hellspawn in rhythmic melee combat fueled by screaming guitar solos and thunderous double bass pedals. Slay swarms of undead skeletons — with fearsome ice giants, trolls, and more joining the fray throughout Early Access — or face a dreary, metal-less afterlife. Harder hits earn more points, so strike swift and true to soar to the top of the leaderboards.

Each of the four over-the-top tunes debuting in Steam Early Access features its own epic stage inspired by iconic metal album covers. Bash skulls to the beat alongside a metalhead mountain while skeletal rockers cheer on, devil horn hands raised and pumping. Battle legions of enemies as awe-inspiring sea gods emerge in the distance.

Two difficulty settings and accessibility modes such as single-handed play, color-blind mode, and a growing list of modifiers help make rocking out an accessible experience. Boss Music Games plans to debut more songs, modes, and accessibility options before the 1.0 launch. Early Access players unlock the full version of God of Riffs for $4.99 before the price increases later this year. 

“With God of Riffs, we wanted to inject metal into the rhythm VR space in a way that feels authentically over-the-top and universally appealing,” said Mathew Palumbo, Company Director at Boss Music Games. “Now that we’re coming to Early Access, we look forward to seeing the reaction from rhythm and metal fans around the world.”

God of Riffs launches into Steam Early Access 27 July with support for Oculus Rift, Rift S, and Quest for $4.99. For more information, please visit the official website and Facebook page. Follow Vyersoft on Twitter, Boss Music Games on Twitter and Instagram.

As Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds and new high-fidelity titles with renowned IPs, including Marvel, Seven Knights, and BTS are planned to be launched in the second quarter and the second half, significant sales growth and profits improvement are expected.”

Highlights from Netmarble’s Q1 2021 financial results include:

• Revenues were diversified across North America (36%), Korea (29%), Europe (12%), Japan (9%), SEA (9%), and other territories (5%).

Side Scrolling Strategy Game Arrives Next Month for Windows PC

May 20th, 2021 — Pixeye Games is excited to announce its upcoming base defense strategy game Until We Die will launch June 3rd for $16.99 on Steam!

Until We Die is a post-apocalyptic strategy game where the remaining survivors find refuge in the Moscow Underground after a global disaster. Command wards to gather supplies and turn an abandoned station into an impregnable fortress-colony capable of resisting any threat.

To win, you have to survive for roughly 30 game days, fending off a series of attacks on your base — small packs of creatures at first, but by the end you’ll be up against a sweeping horde of mutants. The game will end in defeat if our hero Ivan dies during the run; or if the power generator (the heart of the base) is destroyed.

Features:

• Run around and dispense valuable orders to your subjects that await your commands.
• Build fortifications, research technology to secure your base further and defend more effectively.
• Send expeditions to the surface.
• Attack mutant lairs to secure new land for farms and tents.
• Gather supplies from crates and extract food from mushrooms and anything else that looks edible… wasn’t there a meaty-looking rat that just ran down the tracks?

Until We Die will debut next month on Windows PC, with a Nintendo Switch edition in the works for a subsequent release as well.

Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is Out Now on PlayStation 4, Xbox Consoles

The 8-bit beat-em-up is available digitally, pre-orders for the special physical editions end May 23

BERKELEY, CA — May 21, 2021 — Interabang Entertainment in collaboration with Spoony Bard Productions are proud to announce that Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is out today on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Arcade Edition of the game, which was released last year on Steam and Nintendo Switch, includes improved visuals and an enhanced soundtrack, as well as rebalanced gameplay and other quality-of-life improvements. The new versions of Mall Brawl are available digitally or as a physical release coming soon in collaboration with Limited Run Games.

After sabotaging a public-access TV “Truth or Date” broadcast that was being filmed at the mall, Jay and Silent Bob are pursued by the chief of security LaFours and his low-level goons. The duo will have to battle a path back home to their familiar post outside the Quick Stop. They’ll face countless security guards, aggressive mall rats, bouncing barrels, and a host of other threats that are bound to be familiar to players who grew up in the NES era of 8-bit brawlers.

Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is available digitally for $14.99 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and is playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility. For the first week of launch, the game is discounted at 10 percent off on all platforms. Anyone who previously purchased the game on Steam or Nintendo Switch can upgrade to the Arcade Edition at no additional cost. 

Limited Run Games is also releasing special physical editions of Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl on PlayStation 4. The Standard Edition is $29.99 and includes a region-free disc with a full-color booklet. The Collector’s Edition is $54.99, which comes bundled with the game, a retro-style cartridge sleeve that fits over the game case, a 12-song Mall Brawl soundtrack, and a 18″ x 24″ reversible poster. Pre-orders for both editions are open until May 23.
