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.

At least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. You have been stranded on a forbidden island, full of powerful, lost secrets of your people. Invaders are also here, trying to steal and master your knowledge. Race them for the awesome treasures hidden here. And destroy the thieves. Or join them.

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.

About Moon Moose

Moon Moose is a small studio of five people, based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The core team, who has previously worked at Octobox Games, decided to part ways and take a swing at making their own games. Cartel Tycoon is their debut project as a team.

From the Mandachord, a musical creation tool giving players the ability to make their own music for battle using percussion, bass, and melody, to the Shawzin Prime, an innovative playable emote resembling a lute-like guitar, to the newly introduced beat-driven Bombast Instruments Pack (available only in Prime Access), Octavia Prime is loaded and ready to drop a beat!

The demand for Octavia Prime Access underscores a large Community movement generating thousands of inspired Mandachord and Shawzin-generated songs that have exploded across YouTube and Warframe’s forums ranging from the Beatles, Queen and Michael Jackson to Warframe’s own theme songs from The War Within and The Second Dream. The prolific player “Baffoon” alone has created more than 3,600 unique Mandachord tunes!
