Also new in WARRIORS OROCHI 4 Ultimate: the powerful Sacred Treasures can now be interchanged among combatants, additional side stories have been added to help shed more light on certain characters and their motivations in battle, and there are two new endings – with Perseus now holding the key to unlocking the true ending of this action-packed saga.

30XX, Sequel to Acclaimed Top-Seller 20XX, Unveiled

Coming to PC and Consoles in 2021, Debut of Hands-on Gameplay at PAX East 2020

POST-HUMAN EARTH – 14 Feb. 30XX – Batterystaple Games, the studio behind 20XX which was named one of the Top Early Access Graduates of 2017 by Valve and purchased by more than 200,000 fans of co-op roguelike platformer action, is proud to announce a follow-up to its hit first effort, 30XX. Developed with support from Kowloon Nights, 30XX will make its debut at PAX East 2020 before double jumping and dashing to Windows PC and consoles in 2021.

Inspired by classic Mega Man titles and infused with modern design, 30XX builds upon 20XX’s Megaroguelike foundation with a plethora of new features including a new hi-bit art style from art director Glauber Kotaki (Rogue Legacy, Duelyst, and Chasm) and a fresh set of eight new worlds to explore, each with their own identity, platforming mechanics, and fearsome Guardian.

Beyond the aesthetic overhaul, 20XX heroes Nina and Ace return with a myriad of new abilities. No longer merely wielding different primary weapons, in 30XX the powerful pair possess entirely distinct move sets allowing greater freedom of expression for both exploring levels and beating back the machines holding Earth prisoner.

Nina’s new Power Fusion system allows her to meld together abilities earned from vanquishing bosses and tailor them to the situation at hand with 64 separate attacks. Meanwhile, the blade-brandishing Ace boasts a versatile set of Techniques, which can be chained together with standard attacks to unleash fierce combos, adapt to any situation, and reach new heights.

30XX also introduces a fresh level of roguelike challenge and reward with its new metagame currency, Memoria. Collected during runs, Memoria can augment the experience, boosting character abilities, giving keen insight into the challenges to come, or altering how stages generate other helping hands. Once certain criteria are met, turn up the heat with Entropy Conditions, introducing optional layers of additional difficulty in exchange for Memoria and other rewards.

“The response to 20XX has been incredible, but we still see many ways we can continue to improve and expand upon the wonderful game our community helped us build,” said Chris King, founder of Batterystaple. “With 30XX, our mission is to realize the limitless potential the genre offers, and we can’t wait to bring our fans into the fold to help shape the process.”

30XX will be available for hands-on demos in the Indie MEGABOOTH at booth 21027 during PAX East 2020 in Boston, Mass. Feb. 27-March 1 ahead of its full release across Windows PC and other video game platforms in 2021.

Bio Inc. Nemesis Puts Doctors On Call for 26 February

Next Entry in Popular Strategy Franchise with more than 17 Million Downloads will Operate on iOS and Android Devices

MONTREAL – 14 Feb 2020 – Bio Inc. Nemesis, the next entry in DryGin Studios’ hit medical malpractice simulator franchise, will destroy digital families and patients’ lives on iOS and Android devices beginning Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2020. The serial killer series has received more than 17 million downloads, with 400,000 coming this month alone due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.

Nemesis will prescribe large doses of the coronavirus, but not a cure. Take charge of a team of rebel doctors out to commit gross violations of the Hippocratic Oath, afflicting patients with diseases and infections before opposing physicians can practice life-saving medicine. Build up energy to unleash a myriad of maladies on patients, shutting down their nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems while A.I.-controlled medics employ preventative measures.

Recruit from a pool of 30-plus doctors of death to join the cause including buttoned-up physicians, wacky-tobacky smoking alternative medicine practitioners, and more. Some such as Dr. Condo will have vaguely familiar names and faces.

Each medical malpractitioner comes with different talents, such as manipulating patients’ lifestyle, developing risk factors to help accelerate their demise, and thwart the other team’s preventative efforts. Upgrade each MD to make their deadly talents more effective and unlock new powers that increase the potency of their infections, as they work their way through increasingly more challenging and healthy patients.

Advance through the three campaigns and learn how to become the best-worst doctors in the business. Take on new medical mysteries with regularly-occurring Events and Challenges. Assemble a team of world-renowned deadly specialists and take on other players’ medical practices in head-to-head contests in Arena mode, with a competitive ladder system and rewards to be had for the best at their dereliction of duty.

“Bio Inc. Nemesis was born from us thinking about how we could take Bio Inc. to the next level, and deliver on what fans of the first game really wanted,” said J-F. “Infecting patients with horrific diseases is ironically going to make you feel good.”

Bio Inc. Nemesis will be available as a free download on the App Store and Google Play on Feb. 26. For more information on Bio Inc. Nemesis, visit the official Bio Inc. website, follow DryGin Studios on Twitter, and like Bio Inc. on Facebook.
