Embark on an All-New Puzzle Popping Vacation Adventure: Disney Getaway Blast Now Available on App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store

Take a Break Blasting Puzzles with Beloved Disney and Pixar Pals on an Island Vacation Like No Other

Paris, January 30^th, 2020 – Gameloft, leader in the development and publishing of games, announced today that Disney Getaway Blast is now available on the App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store. The holiday never ends as Disney Getaway Blast takes players along with beloved Disney and Pixar characters to an enchanted island paradise, home to a wide variety of locales and challenges. Relax on tropical Lowkey Beach, climb to the Ski Lift at Snowpeak Pass or explore the Treasure Lagoon at Smuggler’s Dunes – and much, much more.

Players also restore island locations through hundreds of physics-based, bubble popping puzzles with the help of adorably designed Disney and Pixar pals. This quirky take on iconic Disney and Pixar characters adds to the playful, relaxed mood of the game.

In Disney Getaway Blast, players pop groupings of matched bubbles and use unique, vacation-tailored game mechanics to complete various objectives. They can collect over thirty characters such as Stitch, Belle, Mrs. Incredible, Minnie Mouse, Anna, Buzz Lightyear, Aladdin and many more, each providing special abilities like Elsa’s ice magic to recolor puzzle tiles or the Genie’s power-up generator skill to tackle the trickiest puzzles. In between rounds, players unwind by decorating their islands with themes inspired by unlocked Disney and Pixar characters, and can even pose the busy characters to snap photos for their vacation album collection.

“It has been such a joy creating Disney Getaway Blast,” said Thomas Aurick, VP of Creation at Gameloft. “It all started by wondering how all those characters unwind when they are not going on epic adventures, and working with Disney to tell that story and even create our own quirky interpretations of their characters has been a total gift. Seeing everyone from Mickey Mouse to Stitch to the gang from Toy Story all coming together in this game is a dream come true, and we hope players feel the same and enjoy creating their own vacation islands.”

Nintendo Switch to launch with PC 1.0, PlayStation 4, Xbox One to follow later this year

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – 30 Jan. 2020 – Dungeon Defenders: Awakened, the epic return of Chromatic Games’ multimillion-selling co-op tower defense action RPG series, fortifies Windows PC with its Steam Early Access debut on 21 Feb. 2020 ahead of a 1.0 release alongside the Nintendo Switch version in Q2 2020. During the Early Access period, the team will incorporate community feedback to ensure the best possible experience across all platforms.

The Early Access build will contain nearly everything in the full base game, including 12 levels, four playable heroes, and virtually endless enemies to defeat. Throughout Early Access, Chromatic Games will implement emergent community feedback, polish, and other surprises for dedicated Defenders to enjoy.

As the despicable Old Ones hatch a time-traveling plot to rewrite history and undo the events of the original Dungeon Defenders, the young heroes of Etheria must reunite once again to ward off the forces of evil. Return to this vibrant fantasy world, take up arms, and battle waves of enemies across a collection of all-new arenas and reimagined fan favorites.

Join the fray by forming a team of up to four champions and choose between as many playable characters (with more to come after launch). Each hero possesses their own distinct combat style and special abilities. Harness these powers and work together to protect the legendary Eternia Crystals while building defensive fortifications to repel even the most imposing of foes.

Construct strongholds to slow the approaching hordes of orcs, goblins, dark elves, and other monstrosities while unleashing mighty attacks and devastating spells to turn the tide of battle. Survive the onslaught to earn new loot, reliable pet companions, and more customization options to prepare for the fights to come and epic showdowns with new larger-than-life bosses.

Forge a unique arsenal and enjoy countless hours of fast-paced medieval fantasy action across online and local co-op multiplayer matches spanning a legendary campaign with a new story, the progressively challenging Survival Mode, a tactical Pure Strategy Mode, the no-respawns Hardcore Mode, and a chaotic Mixed Mode sure to keep even veteran players on their toes.

“Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is the culmination of our work on the Dungeon Defenders franchise. Pushing our 1.0 launch allows us to work with our community during Steam Early Access, implementing valuable player-driven changes and feedback accrued from over thousands of Beta surveys,” said Augi Lye, co-founder, Chromatic Games. “Our amazing community comes first! We feel it’s important that Awakened is the best game during its full release to do right by our players. We’re excited to bring seasoned Defenders and newcomers alike into the world of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened on Steam for our PC Early Access coming 21 Feb., with the full release for PC and Nintendo Switch in Q2 2020!”

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened features English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese language options.

Magic: ManaStrike is an all-new game that takes the excitement of Magic: The Gathering’s vast lore in a whole new direction with a fast-paced PVP strategy game.

During battle, players will be able to summon units, cast spells, and command powerful Planeswalkers with simple tap and drag gameplay and iconic Magic: The Gathering cards re-envisioned through high-quality 3D. By collecting new cards from Magic’s five unique Mana colors – White, Blue, Black, Red and Green, players will learn to understand each color’s traits, and create unique strategies that lead the way to victory.

“With Magic: ManaStrike, we were impressed with Netmarble’s ability to encapsulate Magic: The Gathering‘s 25-year history into a mobile game that stays true to what Magic fans want in other mediums,” said Eugene Evans, VP of Business Development and Strategy at Wizards of the Coast. “Seeing our cards and Planeswalkers stepping into the 3D battlefield, along with our card effects translated from strategic turn-based gameplay into real-time combat, is a delight to see and we can’t wait to see how Magic: ManaStrike develops over time.”

Dead Cells Latest and Possibly Deadliest DLC ‘The Bad Seed’ Arrives February 11th on All Platforms

Bordeaux, France (January 29, 2020) – Motion Twin and Evil Empire announced today that the exceptionally deadly and strikingly gorgeous new Dead Cells DLC, The Bad Seed, arrives to kill you on February 11th on PC, Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for $4.99. The new DLC for the heavily lauded Dead Cells game, The Bad Seed, takes players through all-new biomes, grants them incredible new weapons, sticks them in front of ultimate baddies and adds an awfully gross blood-sucking beast.

“This is the first paid extension to the game after sixteen major free updates, content additions and overhauls since Dead Cells hit Steam Early Access in 2017, and there are still a butt-load of things we’re planning to add to the game,” said  Joan Blachere, creative director at Evil Empire.

Once the DLC is released into the wild, players will be introduced to new path choices in the early game, ensuring that all players, no matter their level, will be able to experience crushing new ways to die. With two new biomes inhabited by their own distinctive bestiary, The Arboretum, a lush paradise to deceivingly adorable creatures, and The Swamp, where an overgrown arboreal settlement inhabited by ambushing blow gunners and spear wielders is your only escape from the gargantuan purple ticks that reign uncontested on the ground. Bleh.

Triumphing over the numerous perils means you will be rewarded with a conceptually unique armoury, including the first double slot weapon as well as a very dedicated and loyal mushroom companion. Of course, vengeance visited upon the monsters and conquering the challenging new biomes that once slowed you down is its own reward, but a few new weapons never hurt anybody.

About Dead Cells
Winner and nominee for dozens of Game of the Year 2018 awards, Dead Cells is a critically-acclaimed roguelike metroidvania action platformer set within an unpredictable castle packed with dark secrets, game changing items and hordes of deadly beasts. Players face tough risk-reward decisions, building their loadout from an incredibly diverse arsenal of weapons and abilities in the hopes of dodging the castle’s omnipresent threat of permadeath.
