Typing Chronicles franchise expands on October 23rd

Mons, Belgium — October 8th, 2019 — Indie developer Fishing Cactus announced that atmospheric typing adventure, Nanotale, is coming to Steam Early Access on October 23rd. Successor to the award-winning adventure game Epistory, Nanotale pulls players into a magical quest to save the dying planet using nothing but their typing skills.

“We are so glad to be bringing another addition to the Typing Chronicles franchise,” said Bruno Urbain, CEO of Fishing Cactus. “The typing mechanic gives players a unique way to experience this adventure-action RPG hybrid. Fans of Epistory will appreciate how Nanotale plays on the strength of its predecessor and new players will soon realise how addictive typing your way through hordes of enemies is.”

Nanotale tells a fascinating story of a world on the brink of destruction as the heart of magic pumps its last beats. Players take on the role of novice Archivist, Rosalind, who sets out on a journey to the magical valley to collect plant and rock samples as well as catalog mysterious occurrences in an attempt to unravel the secrets surrounding the looming demise of Earth. 

Nanotale delivers a blend of typing adventure and RPG experience as players stumble upon and interact with other characters, solve various puzzles and unleash magical powers to defeat foes. The game draws players in with its unique game mechanics as everything from movement to combat, even to menu controls, is accomplished using solely a keyboard, thus challenging players to sharpen their typing skills throughout the game. The Early Access version of Nanotale is translated into English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean and Japanese with commercial release slated for 2020.

Now, a new band of adventurers is tasked with eradicating the vile monsters who have spawned within the kingdom as a result of the skirmish.

In Spiritwish, players are invited to command a rag-tag team of heroes as they follow in the footsteps of the Three Gods for control of the ancient relics and to protect the land of Kaleva against looming evil. Spiritwish boasts an impressive array of features to seamlessly deliver a unique MMORPG experience to mobile players. Details include:

• Multi-character Playability – In this unprecedented feature, players can take control of three heroes at the same time to deal triple the damage and build a cohesive, colorful and memorable team
• Unique Heroes – Each Spiritwish character wields unique powers from ranged attacks to blunt force, allowing players to develop intricate hero combinations and combat strategies
• Online Access – Spiritwish allows players from around the world to team up and use special abilities to explore a vast world full of daunting co-op raids at different difficulty levels

• One-handed Mode – Spiritwish offers an easy-to-use function that allows single-handed chat and gameplay for gamers on the go.

Spiritwish is the latest project from the developers at NEON Studio, best known for their work on Ragnarok, Granado, Espada and Tree of Savior. Today’s global pre-registration arrives after it rose to the top of the mobile game charts in Korea, earning fourth and third in revenue on Google Play and the App Store, respectively.

Spiritwish is now available for pre-registration worldwide on iOS and Android. Players who sign up for pre-registration will earn 500 Blue Diamonds and 100,000 Gold. Players who pre-register through Google Play will also receive a special Tarya Gift Box.

Bombastic new gameplay trailer showcases the unique features and factions of Daedalic Entertainment’s upcoming strategy game

HAMBURG, Germany – Oct. 5, 2019: Publisher and developer Daedalic Entertainment has announced that the ambitious new team RTS A Year Of Rain will launch into Steam Early Access on Wednesday, November 6, 2019, worldwide.

The upcoming release was confirmed in a brand-new gameplay trailer, which showcases the game’s three unique factions and this new franchise’s epic fantasy action: 

Daedalic has also revealed the first story details about the harsh and brutal world in which A Year Of Rain is set. Desolate environments offer limited resources, and any prize you do find, you’ll have to fight for. The battle for survival and the drums of war are all its people know. Two friends, a paladin of the morning sun and the son of a powerful noble house, set out to break the cycle and bring peace to these war-torn lands. A Year Of Rain tells their story and the sacrifices they must make for a better future against those who do not share their vision of civilization and those chained to unlife, doomed to fight forever.

Combining classic real-time strategy elements with a strong focus on teamplay and hero units, A Year Of Rain’s co-op campaigns and online and offline modes are designed with a team of two players in mind. The classic 2v2 “Skirmish” mode has been developed from the very beginning to encourage competition across the entire spectrum of skill levels. Meanwhile, the ‘Against All Odds’ mode is an innovation in the genre, where two lone heroes face two entire armies in an escalating fight for survival.

MS. MARVEL JOINS MARVEL’S AVENGERS

Marvel’s rising star Kamala Khan sets out to expose AIM and reassemble the Avengers

SYDNEY, 5^th October 2019 – Today at New York Comic Con 2019, Square Enix® and Crystal Dynamics® revealed that fan-favourite Kamala Khan is the latest playable Super Hero to be featured in Marvel’s Avengers. Co-created by G. Willow Wilson, Adrian Alphona, Sana Amanat, and Stephen Wacker, in the comics, Kamala is an enthusiastic teenager who defends her hometown Jersey City as the costumed Ms. Marvel. First appearing in Captain Marvel #14 in August 2013, Kamala quickly captured the imagination of generations of True Believers, leading to her own monthly comic series in February 2014.

A self-avowed Avengers fan, in the game’s original story, Kamala Khan must apply her intellect, optimism, and unique abilities to the task of unravelling a global conspiracy and reassembling her personal heroes in time to stop a new secretive organization, Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM), before they unleash one of the greatest threats Earth has ever faced.

Players first encounter a young Kamala during A-Day, where Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor are unveiling a hi-tech Avengers Headquarters in San Francisco — including the reveal of their own helicarrier powered by an experimental energy source. The celebration turns deadly when a catastrophic accident results in massive devastation. Kamala is exposed to the mysterious Terrigen Mist, and finds herself developing extraordinary polymorphic powers, which she subsequently hides for years. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband. Five years later, with all Super Heroes outlawed and the world in peril, Kamala uncovers a shocking conspiracy and embarks on a quest to reassemble the heroes she believes in and to become the hero she was destined to be.

Players begin the journey as Kamala Khan and learn the origins of her extraordinary powers. As the story expands, Kamala plays an essential role in bringing the disbanded Avengers back together. As each Super Hero is added to the roster, players must master all of their unique abilities, rebuild and customize the Avengers team to face increasingly growing threats only the Avengers together can defeat.

“An optimistic fan girl of the Avengers, Kamala Khan is the perfect character for the story we’re telling in Marvel’s Avengers,” said Shaun Escayg, Creative Director and Writer at Crystal Dynamics. “Telling our story of Kamala’s coming-of-age brings a fresh, hopeful perspective to the gameplay experience and her unique abilities as Ms. Marvel make her a character every person can relate to and will want to play. Kamala Khan is one of the unique characters that makes our game stand apart from any Avengers story experienced before.”

“Kamala is an inspired and perfectly fitting choice to join the ranks of, and reassemble, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” said Bill Rosemann, VP of Creative at Marvel Games. “Perhaps more than any other character invented over the past decade, Ms. Marvel has not only charmed the hearts of long-time True Believers, but her unique mix of classic Marvel heroic elements and modern cultural relevancy has resulted in a headline-generating cultural icon.”

“It is a thrill to see Kamala in the Marvel’s Avengers game,” said Sana Amanat, VP of Content and Character Development at Marvel. “Crystal Dynamics has done a marvellous job of crafting a brand-new take on Kamala, while staying true to the spirit of her inspiring character, charismatic persona, and relatable purpose. Fans of the character are in for quite a ride, along with a few surprises, when Marvel’s Avengers makes its debut next year.”

“I think Kamala is a perfect fit for a game like this, since she sees the Marvel world the same way we do as fans and players,” said G. Willow Wilson, co-creator of Ms. Marvel. “Kamala allows us to imagine what we ourselves would do if we suddenly discovered we had superpowers and got to stand alongside our heroes in their time of greatest need.”

Marvel’s Avengers will release simultaneously for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X, Stadia, and PC on May 15, 2020.
