SAINTS ROW® THE THIRD™ REMASTERED OUT NOW

Ultimate escapism: The Saints are back and slicker than ever before!

Sydney, 22nd May 2020 | Saints Row® The Third™ Remastered is out now on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PC (via the Epic Games Store).

Arguably the best Saints Row in the series, the game is now even more polished thanks to a complete overhaul expertly handled by Sperasoft; it has transformed environments, character models and visual effects, enhanced graphics and incorporated a new lighting engine. All weapons and cars have also been redesigned.

To celebrate the launch of Saints Row The Third Remastered, watch the trailer here:

Revisiting Saints Row The Third gamers will find themselves yearning for a bygone era. Spark nostalgia and join the Saints gang in Steelport – remember Johnny Gat, Shaundi and Pierce? – on missions such as Tank Mayhem, Eye of the Tiger and Professor Genki for hours of raucous gameplay.

Originally released nine years ago on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, this is the first time Saints Row has appeared on the current gen of consoles, opening up the notorious Saints series to a whole new gang of gamers. With multiple interwoven storylines, the game takes a different route depending on decisions made; seasoned Saints players may even find their storyline takes on a new arc, resulting in never seen before missions.  

Story:

Saints Row® The Third™ Remastered gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it. This is your City. These are your rules. Remastered with enhanced graphics, Steelport the original city of sin, has never looked so good as it drowns in sex, drugs and guns. 

Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobblehead dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute.

Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and fight against a highly-trained military force by your lonesome in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen.

Key Features:

The Full Package, Remastered – With enhanced graphics, improved lighting, reworked environments, and visual effects, Steelport and The Third Street Saints have never looked so good.

City of Sin – Disrupt and dismantle the Syndicate stranglehold on weapons, cybercrime, and criminal rackets.  Discover the secrets of Steelport, where there is action on every street corner, for better or, more likely, worse.

Weapons of Crass Destruction –It’s one thing to defeat your enemies.  It’s another to humiliate them.  Hover jets, human cannonball cars and outrageous melee weapons are all part of the fun.

Crazy Character Customisation –Create the most outlandish characters ever seen, from washed-up celebrities to maskless ninja pirates.  Inside every sinner, there is a Saint.  Who will you become?

Over The Top Co-op – Fly solo or play online with a homie. Give freefall skydiving a try, landing in your partner’s flaming pickup as you make a desperate run toward a heavily armed Syndicate base.  Steelport is always more fun with a friend.

All DLC included – All three expansion mission packs and more than 30 pieces of DLC from the original version.

XSEED Games Announces Kandagawa Jet Girls; Arriving on PlayStation®4 and Windows PC This Summer

Take to Tokyo’s Kandagawa River for Wet and Wild Racing Action, and Learn the Heartfelt Stories of the Racers Along the Way

Torrance, Calif. – May 21, 2020 – XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., is overflowing with excitement to announce that Kandagawa Jet Girls, the adrenaline-fueled jet racing game from the creators of SENRAN KAGURA, is coming to North America on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC later this summer. The pulse-pounding aquatic racer blends tight cornering and aerial stunts with rapid-fire shootouts, and will be available physically as the day one “Racing Hearts” edition packaged with bonus goods for the PS4™ system with an MSRP of $59.99. The standalone game will be available digitally on the PlayStation®Store and on Steam for Windows PC for $49.99.

Jet racing is the sport of the future and the waterways of Tokyo host some of the most daring and skilled young athletes of Japan on their high-speed jet machines. Drivers, also known as ‘Jetters’, pair up with a ‘Shooter’ armed with water weapons to blast away the competition. They must wow spectators if they want to win, building up their boost meter with spectacular aerial stunts while dodging obstacles and evading enemy attacks. Pick from the seven two-girl teams to race with, discovering each of their hopes and motivations for racing as you play through 64 episodes of lighthearted racing drama in single-player, or go online and put your skills to the test racing against other players.

The retail “Racing Hearts” edition will include the base game, two-disc soundtrack CD with 54 tracks, and a 5.5” x 7.3” softcover 60pg art book, all housed in a special box with exclusive art designed by Hanaharu Naruko. 

Kandagawa Jet Girls will arrive with tons of customization options allowing players to choose their own look for their team and machine, including dazzling special effects. The customization is more than skin-deep, allowing players to go under the hood and fine-tune their jet machine’s performance to match their racing style and squeeze out every ounce of power. Players can play through the game solo or take their custom teams and machines online for multiplayer mayhem against up to three opponents in casual or ranked matches.

The Jetters and Shooters won’t be alone for long–the shinobi girls of SENRAN KAGURA will be infiltrating Kandagawa Jet Girls in search of more summer activities! Ryōbi and Ryōna are already included as part of the base game in the Western release as a special gift to all players, and the first to join the lineup as premium DLC after launch will be the duo of Asuka and Yumi, ready to mystify and confound the competition and thrill fans with their shinobi skills. More of their friends are on the way, and additional details about the SENRAN KAGURA DLC characters will be announced at a later date.

Developed by Honey∞Parade Games and to be published for the PS4™ system in North America and globally on Windows PC via Steam by XSEED Games, Kandagawa Jet Girls will be released this summer.

Team17 to Publish Honey, I Joined a Cult

Sole Survivor Games announced they have partnered with Team17 (The Survivalists) to publish the resource management strategy game Honey, I Joined a Cult for the PC. Max Everingham, Head of Publishing, at Team17 cited the game’s sense humour and intriguing concept as the motivation to partner with Sole Survivor Games.

Honey, I Joined a Cult is set in the 1970s. The time period fostered some of history’s most notorious cults, such as the Manson Family and the People’s Temple. In the game, players will start their own cult by recruiting cultists. The cultists will need to be kept happy by building their very own cult compound that will meet their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. A variety of missions will be available to gain more resources and satisfy your cult leader’s growing ego, but players will constantly be on guard for journalists, government regimes, and rival cults who would love to see their cult shut down.

No word yet on the price or release date for Honey, I Joined a Cult.
