Oakland, CA – August 20, 2020 — D3PUBLISHER Inc., a leading Japanese games publisher, has globally launched Gleamlight, the stained-glass atmospheric 2D action adventure, today on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X via the Xbox Game Store, and Windows PC via Steam®. Since the initial reveal during the official Nintendo Indie World Livestream Showcase in December 2019, D3PUBLISHER worked tirelessly to bring Gleamlight to global markets simultaneously onto multiple platforms, in order to show the admiration and level of detail without the use of words for storytelling or a game UI to gamers and admirers of stained-glass art alike. Gleamlight is now available digitally for $19.99/€16.99/£14.99 on console platforms and PC.

Developed by DICO Co., Ltd and published by D3PUBLISHER, Gleamlight is a challenging 2D action adventure that tells a quiet and mysterious story in an artistic world succumbed to darkness with a stained-glass motif. Gleamlight’s environment is intensified and accompanied by a soundtrack composed by Japanese games music composer Kumi Tanioka.

In Gleamlight, players start their journey as a mysterious and powerful Sword with hidden powers to be unlocked. Throughout the unspoken story, the Sword will encounter various types of enemies and solve mysteries using powers at its disposal with the help of the Child, a mysterious and silent character. Players can wield various powers gained throughout the world to bring light to the darkness, while traversing a beautiful and transient world filled with stained-glass artistry—all without the reliance of a standard game UI. From the start of the game, players will begin their journey with no explanation or narration, as it is ultimately up to players to uncover the world’s mysterious, unspoken story and learn to adapt throughout their playthrough. This is a story of light—of Gleam—in a world of glass stained in darkness.

Gleamlight key features include:

  • A World Made of Glass: The world beautifully unfurls with lush trees, boulders of all sizes, and various paraphernalia, all in the form and shape of glass. Prepare to explore this fantastical world where light warms the glass and darkness stains it with bitter cold
  • A Game with No UI: The game has been designed to immerse players into the world and story without being obstructed by any standard game UI, allowing players to organically enjoy the action and tension of defeating enemies and traversing the world
  • An Unspoken Story: The story behind what happened in this world, and what is to come is up to the player. Discover and piece together the story and save this beautiful, transient world of glass

Unlock Unique Abilities: Gain various powers by defeating bosses, such as double jumping and gravity control, which can be used in battle or to discover new areas that would otherwise be inaccessible

Gleamlight has been rated “E10+ for Everyone 10+” by the ESRB. To stay up to date on the latest news and updates, please visit the official Gleamlight website, or follow on Twitter @gleamlight_en.

POSTAL 4: No Regerts Unloads Mad Fun with Twisted “TUESDAY” in Early Access Update

POSTAL 4: No Regerts Unloads Mad Fun with Twisted “TUESDAY” in Early Access Update

Visit New Areas, Wield New Weapons, and, uh… Run Errands

TUCSON, Arizona — 19 August, 2020 — POSTAL 4: No Regerts®, an over-the-top comedic first-person shooter and the next entry in Running With Scissors’ classic franchise enjoyed by millions, adds Day 2 in the life of The POSTAL Dude to Steam Early Access and GOG with the “Tuesday Update” out today at 10 AM PT.

The delightful town of Edensin welcomes nihilists and do-gooders alike, including the more than 100,000 players assuming the mantle of the freshly homeless POSTAL Dude. The Tuesday Update expands the open world format with new insane opportunities like playing through a drug-induced hallucination while trans-speciesing into The Cat Dude, a feline scrapper with a clawful personality and love for pissing on foes.

The POSTAL Dude, voiced by Duke Nukem legend Jon St. John, braves dangerous drug labs as he journeys into the South-of-the-Border Land and engages with Cartel Padrino El Plago and his vicious gang, Los Oscuros. What’s more patriotic than helping slingshot desperate Americans seeking escape over The Wall™ into Mexico? Jajaja!

The Border Land is just one of the Tuesday Update’s new areas to romp through. After some shopping and soul-searching in the bustling retail sector of Edensin, head west for the Ghost Town. This dump of a shanty town—the real armpit of Edensin—has seen better days, but the POSTAL Dude’s creative brand of mayhem will liven things up. Deliver frontier justice with the new Ingram Mac 11 and the M-16.

Take advantage of the new fast travel system and leave your mark all over Edensin with the Spray Paint Can. Moonlight on the other side of the law with the Handheld Ticketer, ruining the day of illegally parked Edensin residents. As Cat Dude, reach secrets only a cat dude can, climbing pipes and fences beyond The POSTAL Dude’s mortal limits. Tuesday is HUGE and delivers fear and joy with lovely new toys for all.

“Just like in real life, every new day brings new opportunities, so we wanted Tuesday to be a monster load of mad fun,” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. “The shit that goes down in Tuesday’s gameplay is beyond comical and will make you piss your pants.” Case closed.

The Tuesday Update for POSTAL 4: No Regerts launches today at 10 AM PT on Steam Early Access and GOG for PC. For more on the crazed life of The POSTAL Dude, check out the official website and follow Running With Scissors on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Discord.

SUPREMACY 1 Brings The Great War to PC and Mobile in Truly Real-Time Massively Multiplayer Strategic Warfare

Experience Long Term Strategy in Massive-Scale Historic Campaigns where in-game Action Happens over Days and Weeks of Real Time

Hamburg, Germany – 19 August 2020 – Strategy gaming specialist, Bytro, is proud to announce its new grand strategy title, Supremacy 1: The Great War, is available now, free to play for browser and mobile platforms.

Supremacy 1 puts players in command of a nation during the dark days of World War I, in grand Long Term Strategy (LTS) warfare. Players’ actions happen in real time over days and weeks in epic massively multiplayer campaigns.

In Supremacy 1, your choices matter and long-term strategy counts. Manage your nation and control your troops. Betray your allies and keep your enemies close. Establish your armies and align your economy to support the war effort. Research and develop new technologies like gas, U-boats, and dreadnoughts. Engage in subterfuge and deploy spies. Leverage your diplomatic skills and build alliances with other players to dominate Europe and the world.

Supremacy 1 is a deep strategy title designed to be welcoming for new players. The same campaign can be played across multiple devices – desktop, tablet, or mobile – and new players always begin Supremacy 1 in a tutorial campaign against fellow newcomers. Actions like building factories or moving troops can be performed in moments, allowing players to drop in and out of the game each day to monitor enemy movements, ally with neighboring nations and launch surprise attacks on unsuspecting rivals.

“Supremacy 1914 is the brand Bytro was built upon back in 2009, and today we’re thrilled to launch a new generation of Supremacy for players around the world,” said Tobias Kringe, Managing Director of Bytro. “We hope long-time Supremacy 1914 players will be excited to try the new units, innovations, and features, and we’re excited to welcome a world of new players to the Supremacy community.” Play Supremacy 1 for free in any HTML5 web browser at Supremacy1.com, and on iOS and Android. A PC desktop client will launch later on Steam.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition Available Now! 

The Stolen Lands await adventures and rulers!

Sydney, Australia, August 19th, 2020: Owlcat Games and Deep Silver have rolled the dice and release the critically acclaimed Pathfinder: Kingmaker Definitive Edition on PlayStation®4 and the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X. The game is available at selected retail stores as well as via the digital stores of the respective platforms. The classic RPG will take adventurers to the Stolen Lands,featuring all previously released content packs as well as a brand new turn-based mode. 

“Classic RPGs are rare guests on consoles, and we are thrilled to introduce the complete Pathfinder experience to the console owners. And with the new turn-based combat, the players about to get even more gameplay variety they expect from a game of this genre”, states Alexander Mishulin, Creative Director at Owlcat Games. 

Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Definitive Edition Content: 

The Pathfinder Kingmaker: Definitive Edition adds all previously released DLC content directly to the game and comes with the brand new turn-based mode, which not only brings the game closer to the tabletop experience but also adds a new tactical layer. Owners of the PC version will receive this new mode as a free patch-update later 

Providing ultimate control over the battlefield, the new turn-based mode works in harmony with the real-time with pause combat and players can smoothly switch between both depending on the situation they face or the way they want to play the game. 

Pathfinder: Kingmaker takes players on an adventure through the infamous Stolen Lands, the dangerous and turbulent territories well known within Pathfinder fandom. The RPG revisits familiar characters and well-known locations from the lore of the franchise, and treats players to brand new adventures, deadly foes, and unforeseen twists and turns.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker will challenge players as both adventurers and rulers as they claim explored lands and carve their kingdom from the wilderness. Kingdom-founding goes beyond simple stronghold-building to become a true reflection of the hero character and choices made throughout the game.

Justin Thomas, Schoolboy Q, The Miz and Everybody’s Favourite Golf Villain Form the Perfect PGA TOUR® 2K21 Foursome

Unlikely group of celebrity golfers unite to show golf is for everyone

2K has revealed the PGA TOUR® 2K21 launch video, which features a unique group of prominent golf aficionados coming together remotely for the perfect round of socially-distant golf action.

The crew – composed of PGA TOUR 2K21 cover athlete and top-ranked PGA TOUR golf pro Justin Thomas, hip-hop artist Schoolboy Q and WWE Superstar and reality TV personality Mike “The Miz” Mizanin – is joined by an unlikely partner to round out their foursome: legendary actor Christopher McDonald.

As Thomas, Q and The Miz demonstrate their cool and collected expertise on the virtual links, McDonald struggles to compete and ultimately succumbs to the gaming equivalent of throwing his nine iron in a water hazard, before vowing revenge.

PGA TOUR 2K21 will be available this Friday, August 21.
