Based off Kirkman’s comic book thriller, the game sneaks its way onto Switch November 12th
Los Angeles, October 23, 2019 – Rival Games, the critically acclaimed developer behind Alien: Blackout, and multiplatform entertainment company Skybound Entertainment are happy to announce that Thief of Thieves: Season One arrives on the eShop for Nintendo Switch on November 12th for $19.99 / £17.99 / €19.99. Thief of Thieves: Season One lets users play as burglar Celia using stealth, social engineering and assistance from your team to pull off some high profile heists across the world. Originally divided into four volumes and released separately on Steam and Xbox One, the entire anthology will be available at launch.
Based on the award winning comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Thief of Thieves: Season One tells the story of Celia, the protege of master thief Conrad “Redmond” Paulson, as she joins a new team of criminals and advances from apprentice to master. For every heist you must plan with your team, sneak your way in, react to any obstacles you face, and escape using stealth and cunning – after all, violence is what separates thieves from thugs. Get to know your team and choose your approach on the field. But be careful: the choices you make shape the narrative and may have drastic consequences.
Thief of Thieves: Season One is developed by the Finnish independent studio Rival Games in partnership with Skybound Entertainment. The story transitions between comic frames and gameplay, as Celia makes her way through scenes ranging from cocktail parties to construction yards by using her skills in social engineering and stealth. The unique visual style of 2D hand drawn comics and 3D environments combine into one seamlessly flowing story experience. Shawn Martinbrough, the artist behind the Thief of Thieves: Season One comic, provided concepts behind many of the new living breathing characters brought to life by such voice actors like Fryda Wolff (Mass Effect: Andromeda), Stephen Stanton (Rogue One), Emily O’Brien (Death Stranding), Cissy Jones (Firewatch, The Walking Dead: Season 1), Fred Tatasciore (Kung-Fu Panda 2), and Elias Toufexis (Deus Ex: Human Revolution).
“It was a completely new experience working on an already established IP but the creative freedom that Skybound gave allowed us to create something brand new and exciting for Thief of Thieves,” said Jukka Laakso, CEO of Rival Games. “We’re excited to introduce this iteration of Celia’s story to fans old and new.”

The first in a new series of dev diaries goes behind the scenes with Narrative Designer Benjamin Kuhn and Art Director Michael Teske.
HAMBURG, Germany — Oct. 22, 2019: Daedalic Entertainment has published the first in a new series of developer diaries about its upcoming team-based real-time strategy game, A Year Of Rain. Narrative Designer Benjamin Kuhn and Art Director Michael Teske discuss the narrative freedom the fantasy genre allows them, the ways in which two-player co-op can shape storytelling, and how each faction plays a unique part in the game’s rich world.
This dev diary also introduces for the first time A Year
Of Rain’s third playable faction — the Wild Banners. As the name suggests,
this faction is an amalgam of reclusive nomads, tribes, and monstrous
humanoids. They are fierce survivalists ready to fight for every scrap of this
harsh world.
The heroes leading the Wild Banner armies are every bit as
diverse as the faction itself. The Gnoll Chieftain boosts and heals his allies
while unleashing a barrage of arrows on his foes. The stealthy and mobile
hellspawn Shadowdancer is extremely lethal against single enemies. And the
fungal creature known as The Myconid controls the battlefield with spores and
minions while supporting allies with symbiotic boosts.
A Year Of Rain will launch on Steam Early Access on
Nov. 6, 2019. Wishlist the game on Steam, and for more information, visit www.ayearofrain.com.

Lenovo and Intel’s Legion of
Champions Returns Bigger and Better
Registration
for the fourth edition of the esports tournament is now open, with 12 markets
competing to win the title of Asia Pacific’s greatest gaming champion
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA– October 23, 2019
– Lenovo the world’s
leading PC and smart device manufacturer, has opened the qualifying round of
its Legion
of Champions Series IV (LoC IV). In partnership with Intel, Lenovo’s flagship Asia
Pacific esports competition, now in its fourth series, will see its biggest
edition yet. Gamers from 12 markets in the region, for the first time including
Australia and New Zealand, will battle it out at this year’s LoC. The
competition will see the introduction of two new crowd favourite games:
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
(CS:GO). As with previous editions, finalist teams for LoC IV will face-off in
an intense international Grand Finals showdown, which will be held at Pantip
Mall in Bangkok, from 12 – 14 December 2019. Registration ends on 14 November,
2019.
In addition, this year’s LoC is
also calling for the best female gamers in the region to compete in the Legion
of Valkyries (LoV), LoC’s first ever all-female tournament, where female gamers
will be battling it out in the gaming arena playing CS:GO. The LoV has been
developed to create additional opportunities for female gaming enthusiasts,
both experienced and amateur, to showcase their talent.
Both LoC and LoV qualifiers will
take place on the Rise of Legion platform – Lenovo’s flagship online esports
league – offering teams a chance to compete with other enthusiasts around the
world between 15 – 17 November, 2019. Shortlisted teams will advance to the
local group stages across all markets. The top four LoV finalists in the region
will then join the LoC IV Grand Finals in Bangkok as a full-fledged female
team.
“Lenovo’s LoC series represents our
commitment to growing the gaming ecosystem in Asia Pacific and serves as a
platform that provides an unmatched experience for gamers to represent their
team and market on the global stage. Given the growing interest of female
gamers in esports, we have introduced the Legion of Valkyries to nurture a
diverse group of gamers,” said Ivan Cheung, Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer, Lenovo Asia Pacific.
At LoC III, held earlier this year,
more than 8,000 gamers participated in front of 16,000 on-site attendees. The
events are designed to foster Asia’s growing gaming community, and to further
strengthen relationships between like-minded gaming enthusiasts. The Legion
gaming PC range by Lenovo has been developed through active
collaboration with the gaming community itself, with its latest innovations
offering purposeful design with modern avid gamers’ needs in mind– stylish and
sophisticated on the outside, yet savage on the inside, delivering supreme
performance for work and play.
“We are proud to see the Legion of
Champions tournament going from strength to strength in the Asia Pacific region
and are excited to continue our 4th year of partnership with Lenovo in
supporting the vibrant esports community. At Intel, we’re committed to
supporting gaming communities around the world and powering the best esports
tournaments by delivering the ultimate gaming experience,” said George Chacko,
Director of Global Accounts for Lenovo, Intel Asia Pacific and Japan
Local champions and grand finalists
will be competing for a total combined prize pool of USD$89,100 (AUD $130,000)
across two games – the largest of any LoC tournament yet. At the end of the
competition, the winning team for PUBG will walk away with USD$4,000 and
USD$10,000 worth of Legion devices, while the winners for CS:GO will walk away
with USD$5,000 and USD$12,500 worth of Legion devices.
Spectators can expect to experience
the grit and tenacity of the gamers as they band together to seize the championship
title. Those who wish to participate and compete in this epic gaming tournament
may also take part in the Rise of Legion walk-in tournaments, LAN party, and
cosplay contests. Follow the epic journey at https://legion.lenovo.com/loc2019

Show School Spirit and Hit the Books in The Sims’ Highly Anticipated Expansion Pack!
Australia – Oct. 23, 2019 – Class is in session! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Maxis™ today announced that The Sims™ 4 Discover University* Expansion Pack is coming to PC and Mac on November 15, 2019 and on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One on December 17, 2019. The highly anticipated expansion pack introduces a new chapter for Sims where they can enroll in their dream school and take classes in engineering, education or law, decorate their dorm room to feel like home, dabble in extracurricular activities and make everlasting memories with new friends.
“Easily the most requested piece of content by our players, we’re excited to reveal The Sims 4 Discover University and can’t wait for everyone to make the world of Britechester their classroom. Players can have their Sims live out whatever college experience they choose and create unique memories during an opportunistic chapter of their lives,” said Michael Duke, Senior Producer of The Sims 4. “They can enroll in classes that pique their interest, whether that is biology, computer science, art history or even villainy! Players could set up their Sims for success and join a study group with friends or hit the snooze button and miss their morning lecture. They can also enjoy extracurricular activities such as joining college organisations and attending school spirit events.”
The Sims 4 Discover University introduces the brand-new world of Britechester and two unique schools for Sims to pursue their higher education: the historical University of Britechester for arts and humanities majors, and the modern Foxbury Institute for careers in science and technology fields. Both campuses offer a variety of new experiences that ultimately prepare Sims for the real world with new career tracks in teaching, law and engineering, and help them excel in existing career paths. Players can choose how Sims embrace college life, how often they attend class and study hard to keep their grades up or choose to skip class to hang out with friends instead.
The expansion also introduces a slew of new activities and items to help Sims settle into life as a student. Sims can have study sessions at the library or take a break and mingle with new friends in the student commons, play juice pong, explore the campus on a bicycle or pull pranks against the rival school. Sims can also join school organisations like robotics, debate, art, or a mysterious secret society, and show off their school spirit at special events. Players can customise their Sims’ new digs, whether they’re living in a dorm or off-campus, with new décor like posters or a mini fridge and transform the space into their own personal haven. Sims can also develop their personal style with new clothing items inspired by the latest trends, including late-for-class attire, professional ensembles, or new pieces featuring their school’s colors.
As Sims start this new chapter in their lives in The Sims 4 Discover University, they’ll have plenty to learn both inside and outside of the classroom. Whether they’re studying hard or playing hard, Sims will become their best selves and discover experiences that will shape them into what they want to become.
The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack is rated T for Teen. For more information and to pre-order The Sims 4 Discover University, please visit www.TheSims.com.

Cracked Crusaders Leaves the Farm, Crawls to iOS, Android
Dungeons on Nov. 5
HOBART, AUSTRALIA – Oct.
22, 2019 –Cracked
Crusaders, the fast-paced
dungeon-crawling platformer from developer Webbysoft, begins its quest on Nov.
5 for iOS and Android.
The shepherd Milton, his loyal sheep-dog Holly, and duck friend Dory take up arms when evil critters invade Lachy Valley and abduct their beloved flock of sheep. Fortunately, the wizard Lumbario assists the trio, guiding their adventure to Limsburg, where they will delve into dangerous dungeons to defeat the evil forces.
Starting with a simple
sword, Milton and company venture into more than 100 levels teeming with
fearsome foes and perilous hazards across five different worlds. Collect the
map to uncover all the secrets in each level, then find and slay the dungeon
master! Complete levels quickly enough and defeat all enemies to earn stars to
buy new weapons and upgrades.
No matter your
preference, the blacksmith offers something suited for everyone’s tastes,
selling weapons with different attack speeds, properties such as jump damage,
and elemental effects improving strength in some worlds. Meanwhile,
additional equipment such as double-jump boots help navigate, and health
upgrades keep our champions in the heat of battle.
Cracked Crusaders’ heroes will need every advantage they can get;
the dozen bosses run the gamut of nimble foes to seemingly-invincible
screen-filling monstrosities with specific weak points. Each conquered boss
puts the trio one step closer to finding their sheep and discovering who was
behind the heinous heist.
Comic-style panes flesh
out the humorous narrative sequences, with a bonus ending for those who get all
300 stars in the 10-plus hour campaign, while a pumping house soundtrack
compliments the exhilarating gameplay.
“Cracked Crusaders
combines everything gamers like me love from dungeon-crawling, to platforming,
and awesome tunes,” said Luke Webster, Founder, Webbysoft. “I even
made my dog Holly a playable character and incorporated my favorite parts of
Tasmania. Cracked Crusaders is special for me, but I also know everyone
will have as much fun playing this action-packed experience, as I did designing
it.”
Cracked Crusaders releases on Nov. 5 as a free download on the
App Store and Google Play with support for English language text. A one-time
in-app purchase removes ads, unlocks Holly and Dory as playable characters, and
offers extra skins for each hero. The soundtrack by Koh-dee will be available
on Spotify alongside the game’s release.

Crusaders, visit the game’s official website and follow Webbysoft’s Luke Webster on Twitter.
