New Map, Sweeping Improvements to Party Systems, Gameplay, More

CHICAGO — July 14, 2020 — Killer Queen Black, the strategic eight-player action platformer from Liquid Bit and BumbleBear Games, introduces a new map, sweeping improvements to party systems, gameplay and more in the Betelgeuse Update available now on Nintendo Switch and Steam. Follow the Roadmap to see how the game will continue to improve.

The Nesting Flats, a new level that separates weapon and power-up gates, encourages soldiers to cause trouble for Queens focusing solely on claiming weapon gates. The short snail track can lead to a quick victory, but berry-throwing pros can secure a rapid economic win unless met with strong defense. Steam achievements, new gameplay visuals, and a new party system make it even easier to play new content together.

Quickly access party members, online friends, and privacy with the new Party Widget. Set up custom matches by toggling “friends only” for instant join, or create invite codes. Choose between Invite Only, Friends, and Friends of Friends with the new Party Privacy settings. New Custom Match voice options include Team Chat and Match Chat: the former only allows communication during matches, while the latter keeps chat active during matches and in the lobby.

Adjustments to the core game experience make Killer Queen Black feel better than ever. Tweaks to how berry throws earn points make the game feel fairer and more deliberate. Speed upgrades now affect soldiers’ vertical momentum. Changes to the Helix Temple map include spacing out the gates, making the top berries just a bit harder to reach, and making the central berry pile harder to deplete quickly. For much more detail, check out the official patch notes.

Swarm the battlefield with this latest update and fight for the hive. Two teams of four enter but only one queen and her brood shall emerge victorious. Secure victory by defeating the enemy queen three times, gathering berries as quickly as possible, or riding the stalwart Snail to the goal. Turn chaos into communication with Killer Queen Black’s new Betelgeuse Update.

“Killer Queen Black is a great game to spend time with people and connect,” said Mike Chorak, Chief Architect at Liquid Bit. “With that in mind, we’ve made it easier than ever to play together.”

Killer Queen Black is available now on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Killer Queen Black will be available on Xbox One at a later date. To learn more, please visit the game’s official site, follow the game on Twitter, and join the official Discord.

Raising Good Gamers Partners with TED-Ed to Elevate Young People’s Ideas at First-ever Games for Change Youth Summit in 2021

NEW YORK (July 14, 2020) – Raising Good Gamers, a new initiative to change the culture of online gaming for youth, launches today, including a year-long campaign with TED-Ed that will culminate with the first-ever Games for Change Youth Summit in 2021. This new initiative is made possible by a $100K grant from the Susan Crown Exchange.

Raising Good Gamers, led by Games for Change and The Connected Learning Lab, is a cross-sector initiative bringing together game developers, policy makers, researchers, parents, educators and youth to create a sustainable movement aimed at raising a more kind, civically engaged, pro-social generation of players.
 
Raising Good Gamers will choose 30 middle and high school students to participate in a TED-Ed program that will give the teens the opportunity to develop their voice around the culture of online games and their role in it. Raising Good Gamers and TED-Ed will then select five of the students to receive one-on-one coaching by TED-Ed coaches and a mainstage speaking opportunity at the inaugural 2021 Games for Change Youth Summit (anticipated for June 2021). Selected talks will also be featured on the TED-Ed Student Talks YouTube channel. 

“TED-Ed is on a mission to celebrate and amplify the voices of young people around the world. We believe this generation’s creativity, their art, their questions, their play — this generation’s ideas will define the future of our world. While Raising Good Gamers aims to build kinder, more civically engaged gamers, TED-Ed believes the most powerful tool for making that happen are the ideas and voices of those gamers,” said Ashley Kolaya of TED-Ed.
 
Raising Good Gamers believes the promise and potential of games and new media as spaces of learning, social exchange, and civic engagement among youth cannot be realized without a shared public agenda addressing the growing problem of toxicity online.
 
“We have an obligation and an opportunity to create a positive digital culture and climate for our youth so that they can use games and new media as safe and dynamic places for learning, social, civic engagement and fun,” said Katie Salen Tekinbaş of The Connected Learning Lab.
 
Susanna Pollack, president of Games for Change added, “We have long imagined an event just for teens, and with support from TED-Ed and the grant from the Susan Crown Exchange, we are bringing that vision to life with the first Games for Change Youth Summit in 2021 featuring youth experts from Raising Good Gamers.”

Raising Good Gamers will be introduced at this year’s Games for Change Festival, during an announcement with program organizers Katie Salen Tekinbaş and Susanna Pollack on July 14 at 1:45pm ET. There will also be a fireside chat on July 15 at 12:30pm ET with Laura Higgins from Roblox and Katie Salen Tekinbaş about teens’ experiences with online gaming during the pandemic, as well as a panel at 6:15pm ET to explore the design of online play communities for kids, and a research roundtable on July 16 at 1:30pm ET to discuss how kids are engaging with each other online. Register for the now virtual and free Games for Change Festival here to attend the Raising Good Gamer sessions.

Clear a path – the heavyweight Mechs are entering the battlefield

Larkspur, Calif. (July 14, 2020) – Deep Silver and KING Art Games today released a faction trailer for the upcoming and highly anticipated RTS, Iron Harvest,showcasing the glorious mech armies of the Rusviet Empire. Today’s video is the first in a series introducing the factions, units and tactics players will be able to use in Iron Harvest, coming to PC on September 1, 2020.

Iron Harvest tells an epic, overarching story following three factions and their protagonists in the alternate-fiction universe of 1920+. Each of the factions offers different tactical opportunities and advantages in battle. This not only allows for an intense story spanning across 20 missions in three campaigns, but also grants players deep tactical multiplayer experiences in which strategy beats clicks-per-second at any time. Additional Skirmish and Challenge Maps allow players to challenge the AI alone or in co-op with a friend.

About the Rusviets:

After the Great War and on the brink of a revolution, the Rusviet nation is struggling to keep a constant flow of resources up and running. Resources they desperately need to fuel their huge, expensive war machines. Today’s video introduces the Rusviet Mechs and gives a first idea on how they are used best on the battlefields of Iron Harvest.

Inspired by post WWI-history, Iron Harvest tells the story of a Rusviet Empire facing internal struggles while trying to maintain a dominant position on the battlefield. Close combat with heavy mechs, or slow but highly devastating artillery are to be balanced when players lead the Rusviet soldiers to the front.

About Iron Harvest:

Iron Harvest is a real-time strategy game (RTS) set in the alternate reality of 1920+. At the dawn of the 20^th century, shortly after the end of the Great War, the world is full of secrets and mysteries, of opportunities and challenges. Tradition clashes with scientific and technological progress, while Europe is still recovering from the brutal battles of the World War. To create the perfect RTS-experience the team has been working in close cooperation with global RTS-fans ever since the highly successful Kickstarter campaign. Iron Harvest will launch for PC on September 1, 2020. The console version will follow at a later date.

Only select AMD and Intel based motherboards are able to achieve speeds of DDR4-4000 and above. Check motherboard Qualified Vendor Lists (QVL) to verify Predator high speed support on the motherboard vendor website and/or Intel XMP certified list. Premium system cooling (CPU and case) are required for high speed memory stability. On Intel platforms, X or K series processors are recommended.

²HyperX Plug N Play memory will run in DDR4 systems up to the speed allowed by the manufacturer’s system BIOS. PnP cannot increase the system memory speed faster than is allowed by the manufacturer’s BIOS. HyperX Plug N Play DDR4 products support XMP 2.0 specifications so overclocking can also be achieved by enabling the built-in XMP Profile.

³Lighting customizable with HyperX NGENUITY software or with motherboard RGB control software. RGB customization support through third party software may vary.
