Onyx, the Newest Legend in Brawlhalla®, Available Today

Onyx, the Newest Legend in Brawlhalla®, Available Today

Sydney, Australia – March 18, 2020 Today, Ubisoft announced that Onyx, the 49th Legend in Brawlhalla® and first new Legend of 2020, is available today, ready to engrave her imprint in the halls of Valhalla with Gauntlets and Cannon.

Onyx escaped from the Infernal Realm, finding herself in a mysterious castle when she finally emerged from the pit. Desperate to hide herself from would-be captors, she soon discovered the secret to her salvation: binding herself to the stone of the castle. Onyx then pledged service to the great fortress. For hundreds of years, Onyx acted as the Guardian and Protector of Castle Batavia until one fateful day when the castle finally fell. In the midst of the legendary Siege of Lions, the commander of the assailants showed her the depravity of the mad king she defended. Onyx knew she had to let the castle fall even if it meant her own return to the Abyss. One of the many Valkyries above the battlefield, seeing her sacrifice, swooped in just ahead of the demons and offered her a place in Valhalla.                                                                              

Onyx is available to purchase for 7200 Gold. Her skins, Guardian Onyx, Project-0NYX and Soulbound Onyx are available to purchase for 140 Mammoth Coins each. On the battlefield, Onyx has six signature attacks:

  • Cannon Signatures
  • Side Signature – After a big forward swing of her tail, Onyx shoots a blast of energy forward.
    • Neutral Signature – Onyx grabs the cannon with her tail and shoots a huge blast of energy diagonally upwards.
    • Down Signature – Onyx quickly turns to stone, then explodes out of the stone armor with her wings, tail, and cannon.
  • Gauntlets Signatures
  • Side Signature – Onyx uses her wings to float about the ground, then swipe her claws into the ground to launch her opponents.
  • Neutral Signature – Onyx uses her wings to fly up diagonally and swipe with her big claw.
    • Down Signature – She slams the ground, making huge shards of rocks come up, then follows up with a big tail swipe.

Onyx releases alongside the Cannon update that brings changes to three attacks:

  • Side Light – This big swing had its movement and arc of the weapon swing both changed.
  • Neutral Light – Instead of thrusting the cannon forward, this attack now has a forward blast that is followed up with a spin and second blast on hit.
  • Down Air – This attack now shoots a blast instead of swinging the weapon. It shoots diagonally downward and splashes off of the ground.

Developed by Blue Mammoth, Brawlhalla is an epic free-to-play platform fighting game that brings players to the fight for glory in the halls of Valhalla. Choosing from over 45 unique characters, players can jump into single-player and co-op modes as well as online and local competitions. Brawlhalla also supports cross-platform play between the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, Nintendo SwitchTM system, Playstation 4, and PC, where players are able to play custom games and queue together for all online matchmaking.

Exit the Gungeon Reloads on Steam and Nintendo Switch Today

Exit the Gungeon Reloads on Steam and Nintendo Switch Today

AUSTIN – March 17, 2020 – Gungeon-dwellers Dodge Roll, co-developer Singlecore Games, and unlicensed water-gun wielders Devolver Digital today announce Exit the Gungeon, the newest adventure in the burgeoning Gungeonverse, will be available later today on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch.

Debuting on Apple Arcade in 2019, Exit the Gungeon is a bullet hell dungeon climber immediately following the adventures of the misfit ‘Gungeoneers’ and their journey for personal absolution in Enter the Gungeon. 

Armed with an ever-changing weapon, an insatiable need to loot, and the trusty dodge roll, each of our heroes must ascend and escape via their own unique route of increasingly perilous elevators. Battle against the last and most bitter of the Gundead at a frantic pace, slowing down just long enough to chat with some familiar faces… and a few new ones. Shifting rooms, enemies, bosses, bizarre weapons and items all combine to ensure that no two attempts to Exit the Gungeon are the same.

The latest update to Exit the Gungeon brings an arsenal of additions, updates, and tweaks to the celebrated bullet hell dungeon climber. These modifications represent a substantial overhaul to Exit the Gungeon for players on Apple Arcade and new Gungeoneers jumping in on Nintendo Switch and Steam today.

New Weapons, Items, Enemies, and Bosses

Jump into battle with dozens of upgraded weapons and new items like the Spiked Boots, while striking down new Gundead foes including the Minecart Shotgun Kin, Bullet Cardinal, and Flying Fungun. Watch out for the return of the legendary Jammed enemy variants…

Revamped Gungeon with New Rooms and Elevators

Square off in a dramatically redesigned Gungeon with improved room variety, increased room size, and many updated and devious elevators. With this increased variety, we’ve expanded Exit the Gungeon runs to more closely match Enter the Gungeon’s playtimes.

Rebalanced and Reloaded Gameplay

Massive changes to how the game spawns and places enemies, and an increased challenge level to match what veteran Gungeoneers have come to expect. An overhauled combo system yields better guns faster and throws down more money to reward Gungeoneers for fantastic combo runs.

Hats, Minigames, and Gungeon Dwellers

Look sharp with new character-specific hats as you tackle redesigned minigames and chat up a host of NPCs with new interactions and quests.
