Melbourne, Australia – September 15th, 2020 – Independent developer Phase Two Games today announced that their squad-based fantasy adventure RPG Battle Hunters will launch on PC and Nintendo Switch on October 20th.

Ahead of its October launch a playable demo of the game will be available on PC courtesy of the Steam Game Festival Autumn Edition taking place between the 7th and 13th October.

Players will command a team of 3 adventurous heroes, plunging headlong into dungeons, caves, forests and swamps as they heed the call for help from the mysterious ‘Old One’. This will not be an easy quest by any means; a vast array of beastly adversaries and monstrous villains will impede your journey across several different regions of the kingdom. Fear not though, for many mighty heroes stand ready to join the adventure as your valiant trio takes the fight to the forces of darkness. 

Battle Hunters lets players form an adventurer party of 3, chosen from a line-up of 28 unique hero characters who are met and recruited along the journey. Be it the Wizard, the Gunslinger, the Assassin, or any other hero, each has their own specialized fighting skills and unique abilities that players can level up and enhance along the way. 

With an original and fresh approach to combat, through a combination of turned-based and real-time action, Battle Hunters gives players the opportunity to build a uniquely skilled team of adventurers. Different heroes bring a range of strengths and weaknesses to the battle, and with such a wide array of enemies to confront, the player must use the right combination of heroes to suit their own battle style, and to ensure victory.

Players will face off against devious goblins and lumbering trolls, as well as vicious gargoyles and unstoppable stone golems so creating a formidable band of heroes with the right skills can make all the difference.

The world-famous ladies man is now available for your gameplay pleasure in the Microsoft Store in the form of Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry! Join Larry as he takes on the modern age — one explicit social media app at a time — to stumble his way to true love. The Xbox launch completes Larry’s multi-platform conquest as the infamous title stakes its claim on PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and now, Xbox One! 

Boasting a ‘Very Positive’ Steam review score, Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry lands Larry Laffer smack dab in 2018 where he’ll navigate his way through modern technology and modern women. What does that mean for the grease-stained lovebird of the ‘80s? Only one way to find out! 

Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry launches on Xbox One complete with the Happy Ending Update — an expansion that serves as an epilogue depicting what happens after Larry’s dating misadventures that take place in the main game. That’s not all — players don’t have to wait long to get more Larry, as Assemble Entertainment and developer Crazybunch have just recently announced the sequel, Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Dry Twice, launching on PC via Steam on October 15, 2020. 

More about Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry:
 
Hey ladies, I’m back in business! My latest adventure, Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry, takes me – whatever the route or twist of fate – from the end of the ’80s directly to the 21st Century and wow, how the world has changed! While my…somewhat antiquated view of the world and women collides with modern reality, I’m all set to date my way across the modern world!
 
In a “point & click” adventure I’d call typical for the genre, we mutually experience how I fall head-over-heels in love with Faith, the assistant to the boss at Prune, a powerful global tech company. Since even dating is done digitally nowadays, the first thing I have to do is to work on my score at Timber, the totally hip, can’t-get-anywhere-without-it dating app where I date women, satisfy their needs, and pick up points for my Timber profile. And whenever I get a chance in between, briefly check out a few new beach pix at Instacrap – the 21st century is gnarly!

Key Features of Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry Include: 

• What a World!: Explore a lovingly designed, non-linear game world set in modern times with over 30 hand-drawn venues
   
• The Digital Age: Use the “Timber” in-game app, along with an innovative dating mechanism to date women, improve your profile score, and ultimately clear the way to dating Faith, the woman of your dreams
   
• Dating Can be Puzzling: Solve true-blue puzzles and interact with over 30 hand-drawn characters

Developed by CrazyBunch and published by Assemble Entertainment, Leisure Suit Larry – Wet Dreams Don’t Dry is available for $39.99 USD as a digital download in the Microsoft Store and features a limited-time 25% launch discount.

To progress in your investigation and escape perilous situations, you must solve more than 30 puzzles involving technology (such as operating particle accelerators, fuel cells and robots), and various other branches of science, including environmental and life sciences, physics, chemistry, and maybe even a bit of quantum physics!

“We made The Quantum Prisoner with the help of our fellow CEA scientists and researchers with the sole purpose of making science fun and showcasing scientific and technical culture to a younger demographic,” said Roland Lehoucq, astrophysicist at CEA and scientific adviser of the game. “Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a scientist to solve these puzzles! You learn as you play along, in line with the scientific approach. You will be able to move forward thanks to informative videos and facts along the way, as well as assistance from our researchers if you get stuck”.

The game is completely free with no registration required, no ads, and can be played on any browser without the need of downloading a plug-in, unless you desire to play offline.

First released in October, 2019 in France (only in French), The Quantum Prisoner received praise at Paris Games Week and has attracted more than 100,000 gamers across the country, receiving positive feedback from the players.
