Online multiplayer matches bring players together from around the world, while time-limited Online Tournaments offer rewards and a wide range of match conditions.

Energy, intensity and expecting the unexpected are all keys to victory in the world of WWE 2K Battlegrounds. Along the way, players can explore eight unique Battlegrounds environments featuring interactive elements and outrageous melee objects, such as squeaky toy hammers and motorcycles that can be used. Players will give opponents a tune-up in the Auto Shop by tossing explosive barrels at them and sending a car crashing down. The action heats up in the Everglades as players toss each other into the jaws of a hungry alligator! Players can also customize their own arenas to give each match a personal touch.

BANDAI NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT EUROPE ACCELERATES ITS TRANSFORMATION WITH REFLECTOR ENTERTAINMENT ACQUISITION

Lyon, FRANCE – September 17, 2020 – As part of its strategy to build Western development capabilities, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe S.A.S. (BNEE) today announces that subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including applicable Canadian regulatory approvals, BNEE will acquire Reflector Entertainment Ltd. (Reflector Entertainment) and its subsidiary Reflector Interactive Productions Ltd. from Lune Rouge Innovation Inc. (Lune Rouge). This deal acquisition furthers BNEE’s content strategy aimed at developing 50% of its content outside of Japan.

“Designing and developing the content we shall publish and distribute is the cornerstone of our strategy.” commented Arnaud Muller, COO of BNEE. “The creative vision and development capacity of Reflector Entertainment will boost BNEE’s ability to craft breathtaking experiences over the years. We look forward to working with such a skilled team, and to welcome them to the BNE family.”

This first strategic move in the incredible Montreal based developer community highlights the implementation of BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment’s Mid-term Plan that aims at strengthening each regional headquarters’ autonomy for greater expansion in global markets.

Founded in 2016 by Alexandre Amancio and Lune Rouge, Reflector Entertainment is focused on building Storyworlds that people can interact with across a variety of media, including videogames, novels, podcasts, movies, and much more.

Its Unknown 9 franchise, nurtured by its 120 talented employees, among which industry veterans behind some of the best AAA videogames coming from Canadian studios, was revealed to the public with, so far, the release of the first book in a novel trilogy written by the bestselling author Layton GREEN, along with podcast episodes, a comic book series, and most recently the highly anticipated videogame Unknown 9: Awakening.

“The reach to worldwide audiences and the endless entertainment possibilities offered by the synergies with BNEE and the rest of the group will provide a great long-term perspective for the team, here in Montreal” commented Alexandre Amancio.

“We believe this acquisition will enable Reflector Entertainment to deepen its transmedia vision to build amazing journeys, while expanding on the work already done on the Unknown 9 franchise and other projects,” said Robert Blain, President of Lune Rouge. “BNEE has an amazing team in place and their skills and knowledge of the industry will guarantee Reflector Entertainment a brilliant future.”

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter 2020. Upon closing of this acquisition, Alexandre Amancio will become Chief Creative Officer of Reflector Entertainment and will operate alongside Hervé Hoerdt, Vice President of Content, Marketing and Digital at BNEE, who will manage the transition as CEO.

BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW IN BALAN WONDERWORLD – COMING MARCH 26, 2021

A New 3D Action Platformer from SQUARE ENIX and Sonic the Hedgehog Creators

SYDNEY, 18^th September 2020 – SQUARE ENIX® today confirmed a release date of 26^th March, 2021 for BALAN WONDERWORLD – the all-new action-platformer from the creators of Sonic the Hedgehog. BALAN WONDERWORLD will be playable on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5 console, PlayStation®4 console, Xbox One and Xbox Series X devices and PC (STEAM®).

As players explore the fantastical land of Wonderworld, they’ll be guided by an enigmatic maestro named Balan, who will help players restore balance to the world by clearing Wonderworld of Negati, physical manifestations of worry and other negative emotions. To accomplish this, players will jump, climb, fly, smash, and more, as they explore a multitude of unique areas, collecting over 80 unique costumes to assist on the journey. Each costume bestows its own special power, from the Pumpkin Puncher outfit that lets players smash through obstacles blocking pathways to the Air Cat costume that allows players to walk in mid-air for a certain amount of time.

The new trailer also showcases BALAN WONDERWORLD’s cooperative multiplayer feature. With this feature, two players can explore the game in local co-op, using creativity to overcome challenges by finding ideal combinations of costumes that work well together. Players can work independently, using the abilities of their respective costumes, or, if both players enter close proximity of one another, they can enjoy the “Joint Play” feature and use their costume abilities together at the same time.

Watch the BALAN WONDERWORLD Announcement trailer for Nintendo Switch

Time-Traveling Platformer YesterMorrow Warps to PC, Consoles on 5 Nov.

SYDNEY – 17 Sept. 2020 – YesterMorrow, the time-traveling puzzle platformer from developer Bitmap Galaxy and publisher Blowfish Studios, brings timeline bending exploration to Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam and GOG on Thursday, 5 Nov.

Embark on a journey of light and darkness as Yui, a young girl thrown into extraordinary circumstances. Travel between timelines, braving the post-apocalyptic present in hopes of restoring the idyllic past. Bring down the Shadows who destroyed Yui’s home and stole the Sun from the sky by mastering the Everlight, a mystical force granting her strange powers.

Alternate between eras while traversing four islands on a mission to repair the arcane tower that holds within it the key to control the flow of time. Take the fight to the Shadows with the ability to launch energy bombs, freeze time, and more, before turning back the clock in search of secrets and clues. Restore the Sun to its rightful place and save Yui’s family from a dark fate.

Solve time-bending puzzles. Uncover hidden passageways in one reality to make progress in the other while battling against the sinister creatures who seek to halt Yui’s quest at every turn. Climb through dense forests, scour desert ruins, and brave the icy caverns, all brought to life with gorgeous retro-inspired pixel art that brings a vivid sense of atmosphere to the adventure.

Relish the serenity of a bygone era and feel the pain of a scarred and broken present represented by rich environments teeming with lore. Experience the sweeping highs and emotional lows of Yui’s story with dynamic music that swells during moments of triumph and intensifies at climactic showdowns against her shadowy foes. Guide Yui’s path to determine her fate – can she overcome the darkness to save both her world and her family?

“YesterMorrow is a time-travelling adventure tale about the clash between light and darkness,” said Ben Lee, co-founder, Blowfish Studios. “We wish we could jump forward in time to 5 Nov. so we wouldn’t have to wait to share the game with everyone on PC and consoles!”

YesterMorrow will be available on Steam and GOG for Windows PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 5 Nov. for $19.99 USD / €17.99 / £15.99 / $24.99 AUD. It features English, Spanish, German, Russian, French, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Japanese language options.

Players will be able to take advantage of unique character “Super Skills” and direct the combat for a truly immersive experience.
 
“Our team in Chicago has done an amazing job building franchises for Kongregate, with their smash CCG hit Animation Throwdown: The Quest for Cards and now TMNT: Mutant Madness,” said Markus Lipp, CFO and Interim CEO at Kongregate. “We know fans will love the engaging combat in Mutant Madness and the deep collection systems. We can’t stop playing and know they won’t either. I’m very excited to continue bringing our uniquely ‘Kongregate’ creativity to the mobile games market through our growing franchise titles!”
 
“Kongregate’s innovative approach to creating a new take on the TMNT universe captures the excitement and nostalgia of the franchise in a new way,” said Adrian Wright, VP Games, Nickelodeon. “With TMNT: Mutant Madness, players have the opportunity to collect and play with fan-favorite classic characters in an engaging gameplay experience.”
