NEW YORK, NY (July 1, 2020) – Atari® — one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — and indie developer Nickervision Studios are excited to announce today that the most immersive version yet of Missile Command: Recharged™ will release as a launch title on the upcoming Atari VCS™ home gaming and entertainment system in fall 2020. As a reimagined, contemporary take on one of Atari’s most beloved titles, Missile Command: Recharged for the Atari VCS is optimized for the all-new Atari VCS’ Wireless Classic Joystick for a truly unique retro-modern gameplay experience. 

How long can you hold off the aerial assault until your domain is decimated? It’s time to take command; launch the counter-missiles!

Based on the 1980 arcade classic, Missile Command: Recharged features a neon-lit retro aesthetic, dazzling new gameplay elements, and deliciously difficult gameplay designed for modern gamers and fans of the original, alike. Players must defend their cities by shooting down an endless barrage of missiles hailing from the sky. Swiftly aimed counter-missiles protect against the onslaught, and unlockable power-ups give players an edge at critical moments. High-intensity arcade action awaits fans of the original Missile Command and a whole new generation of gamers that enjoy fast-paced arcade goodness. Optimization for the Atari Wireless Classic Joystick adds an extra layer of excitement and immersion only available on the Atari VCS.

“Missile Command: Recharged is coming home to the Atari VCS where it belongs! It’s the perfect game to help kick-start our growing game and content library thanks to its retro roots and pulse-pounding gameplay that appeals to today’s gamers,” said Michael Arzt, COO of Atari VCS & Connected Devices. “Utilizing the special features of the new Atari Wireless Classic Controller, Missile Command: Recharged will offer players an exciting arcade-like experience, complete with immersive rumble and LED effects that can only be experienced on the Atari VCS.” 

 Additional Key Features Include: 

• Atari Wireless Classic Joystick Support: Exclusive to the Atari VCS, players can relive their arcade adventures and enjoy enhanced mobility, unique immersive rumble and LED lighting effects synchronized with the action on-screen. 
   
• Powered Up: Don’t just target missiles – take aim at all-new power-ups to survive longer with defensive measures, missile speed boosts, or a screen-clearing special blast
   
• Upgraded: The new powerup system takes points earned and allows them to be used to upgrade all aspects of gameplay to get an edge and achieve the highest scores
   
• Shoot for the Clouds: Compete in global online leaderboards and aim to claim bragging rights as the top missile commander
   
• Achievements: Better yourself with each game played and work towards besting the toughest challenges!

Previously released on Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, Mac, and Linux, as well as for iOS and Android devices, Missile Command: Recharged will launch digitally for the Atari VCS this fall through the Atari VCS Store, with additional games and content to be announced soon. 

The all-new Atari VCS home gaming and video computer system is a unique PC/console hybrid platform inspired by classic Atari consoles and PCs. Like the legendary Atari 2600 did in 1977, the VCS is set to transform the TV-centric gaming and home entertainment experience. Users will enjoy an ever-expanding Atari world of all-new games, classic and remastered favorites, streaming media, and personal apps. The Atari VCS is powered by an AMD Ryzen™ 1606G high-performance Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) with Zen-core and Radeon Vega Graphics, enabling gaming and video streaming up to 4K HDR at 60fps. Unlike other home game systems, owners can also install Windows or Linux operating systems via “PC Mode” and add mouse and keyboard to transform the Atari VCS into an expandable PC and enjoy more of their favorite games and applications. The Atari VCS combines the best of consoles and PC into one ultra-versatile device. 

Launching in fall 2020, the Atari VCS lineup of systems, bundles, and peripherals are available now for preorder at GameStop.com, Walmart.com, and AtariVCS.com at pre-release prices. The base Atari VCS 800 (8GB) Onyx will retail for $299.99 USD, Atari VCS 800 “All-In” system bundles include the Atari VCS Classic Joystick (available separately for $59.99) and Atari VCS Modern Controller ($59.99) for $399.99 USD. The Atari VCS Classic Joystick and Modern Controllers were created in partnership with PowerA. Atari VCS international presale dates will be announced soon.

Kickstarter launches today!

Oxford, July 1, 2020 – Rebellion Unplugged, the new tabletop division of one of Europe’s largest independent studios, is proud to announce the launch of Adventure, a brand new series of roleplaying games specifically designed to remove traditional barriers to play.

The project launches on Kickstarter today with Adventure Presents: Tartarus Gate, a journey through sci-fi horror. Tartarus Gate is designed by Grant Howitt & Chris Taylor, the creators of Spire and Honey Heist, and their work has been featured in the likes of Critical Role and The Adventure Zone. In Tartarus Gate, players will take on the role of unpaid interns in deep space trying to secure permanent jobs in the face of cosmic chaos.

Adventure Presents is a complete role-playing game in a single magazine. It operates as a series of pull-out supplements, leaving players with a complete rule set, character sheets, in-game handouts a GM’s reference and a 24-page adventure. To assist in remote play, Rebellion will be providing a digital asset pack including copies of the illustrations and character sheets to backers of both the physical and PDF editions.

“We’ve been working on Adventure for over a year, developing it to be a game that works equally well in person and remotely”, said Duncan Molloy, head of Rebellion Unplugged. “With everything that’s happened recently we’ve brought it to the top of our development plans to meet the evolving needs of our audience.

“We’re superbly suited for this too – we’ve been delivering 2000 AD to our many subscribers on a weekly basis throughout the lockdown, so we’ve got the systems in place to ensure we can deliver physical copies of Adventure Presents to players by the end of August.”

Rebellion Unplugged launched in November 2019 with a remit to release new physical games and collectibles based on Rebellion’s extensive collection of properties. Sniper Elite the Board Game is currently in development and scheduled to launch later this year.

Discover the Many Ways to Die on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch^TM and PC

Vancouver, Canada – July 1, 2020 – Death is just the beginning in co-op puzzle platformer REZ PLZ from Graffiti Games and Long Neck Games, and soon players can partake in the joys of sacrificing and resurrecting wizard brothers from a bevy of untimely deaths. REZ PLZ launches on July 15 for $14.99 USD on Nintendo Switch^TM, Xbox One and Steam (PC), and starting today those interested can preorder the game on Switch, while Xbox One preorders begin on July 3.
 
REZ PLZ is a pixel-art puzzle platformer with a new twist on co-op and single player gameplay. Join apprentice wizard brothers Arcan and Zeph as they fight the forces of Dark Arcanum armed with little more than the Resurrection Scroll, a tool they can use to bring each other back to life. While traversing through platforming challenges and solving puzzles, the brothers will encounter dangerous monsters and traps that require one of them to die in order to advance. But thanks to the magical scroll, the brothers are able to resurrect each other from a multitude of one-hit deaths, ranging from being sliced in half, eaten by creatures, burned alive and more. While progressing through the game, the brothers will unlock new spells that grant them abilities to conquer the increasingly difficult challenges ahead.
 
Discover these abilities and more in this new gameplay trailer:

“REZ PLZ is the perfect game to sit down on the couch and play with a companion to pass time,” said Nathan Pearce, developer at Long Neck Games. “And time will fly as you’ll work together to solve puzzles and laugh at the many ways you can die. Home alone? Then try Remote Play on Steam to play with a friend or take on the challenges alone in single-player mode.”
 
Features include:

• Co-op Play – REZ PLZ puts a unique spin on the traditional co-op concept. Instead of trying to keep each player alive through each level, players must strategically kill one of the brothers to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Use the Resurrection Scroll to bring Arcan and Zeph back to life.
• Death Around Every Corner – Death is everywhere in REZ PLZ, and can come from a multitude of one-hit deaths, ranging from being sliced in half, eaten by creatures, burned alive and more. Death is part of the adventure!
• Unlock Magical Spells – Unlock new spells to conquer the increasingly difficult challenges ahead, but be careful because these brothers are poor at magic and one bad spell can mean death!

The hilarious floppy physics action game that stole the hearts of players at the Steam Game Festival, Summer Edition. The cuteness overload has only just begun!

July 1st, 2020 -Recreate Games’ hilariously floppy physics-based party game, Party Animals, is unleashing the “cute” on PC and consoles in late 2020. After an unprecedented player demand for the demo actually crashed the developers’ third-party servers during the Steam Game Festival, Summer Edition a couple of weeks ago.

Party Animals brings together a range of adorable animals from puppies and kittens to bunnies and duckies in the cutest cooperative brawler you’ve ever seen! Physics-based multiplayer hilarity ensues as these calamitous critters wrestle, punch, throw and tussle their way through a variety of task-oriented or competitive games in online or offline modes.

“We were overwhelmed with the reaction to the Party Animals demo at the Steam Game Festival a couple of weeks ago. It literally was a case of ‘cute overload’, as the demand exceeded the abilities of our third-party servers, and crashed the game!,” said Andy Jianyi, Product Manager for Recreate Games. “We never anticipated the game would be so popular that we’d have to work around the clock to fix our servers, but we are not complaining! We are thrilled that people enjoyed the game so much, and for a small studio like ours, this is a good problem to have.”

Party Animals’ unique physics engine, developed in-house by Recreate Games, features completely physics-driven character movements, leading to seemingly haphazard, floppy encounters that are both unpredictable and hilarious. Will your punch land in that sweet spot and send your foe flying off the stage, or will it knock your own character completely off balance? Get tangled up in a rumble with your friends and frenemies, and all you can do is hope for the best!

Featuring a variety of game modes in local and online multiplayer, including free-for-all skirmishes and objective-based gameplay, Party Animals journeys through an eclectic mix of environments where anything can happen – such as all-out lollipop warfare between a cute dinosaur and a fluffy shark! Players keen to get in on the cute overload can wishlist the game on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1260320/Party_Animals/

Today, 2K revealed the first of its three Cover Athletes – five-time NBA All-Star and Portland Trail Blazers’ Damian Lillard has been selected to lead the cover for NBA 2K21 on all current-generation platforms!

Dame D.O.L.L.A. Logo Lillard. Sub Zero. Few players match his versatility on the court, and even fewer dominate the last minutes of the 4^th Quarter when the game is on the line: Dame Time!

As the cover athlete for NBA 2K21 on current-generation platforms, players around the world will see Lillard’s skywalking dunk on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC and Google Stadia.

“There are a lot of great players in the NBA today, but Damian Lillard has done a particularly standout job of representing the current generation of NBA superstar,” stated Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for NBA 2K. “From his cultural influence, musical success, off the court leadership, and on court domination, he’s the perfect fit for our cover of NBA 2K21 on current-generation platforms; we’re honored to have him.”

NBA 2K and Lillard will also partner through 2K Foundations, 2K’s program to support underserved communities by revitalizing basketball courts and community centers across the nation, to renovate a site in his hometown of Oakland, CA for the local community.

Previously, Damian Lillard was the cover athlete for NBA 2K Online 2.
