GOOD SHEPHERD ENTERTAINMENT TO PUBLISH ACE TEAM’S OPEN-WORLD SURVIVAL ADVENTURE GAMETHE ETERNAL CYLINDER

Explore, evolve and escape hot fiery rolling extinction on consoles and PC in 2020

AMSTERDAM & SANTIAGO – Aug. 15, 2019 – Good Shepherd Entertainment (John Wick Hex) and indie developer Ace Team (Zeno Clash, Rock of Ages) have announced a new publishing partnership for The Eternal Cylinder. This ambitious take on open-world survival adventure games is expected to release in 2020 on gaming consoles and will be available for Windows PC exclusively via the Epic Games store at launch.

In The Eternal Cylinder, players control a herd of adorable creatures called Trebhums and must explore a strange alien world filled with exotic lifeforms, surreal environments, and the constant threat of the Cylinder, a gargantuan rolling structure of ancient origin which crushes everything in its path. This unique ecosystem is a massive, procedurally generated land with unique animal AI, real-time world destruction, and organic exploration and puzzle design to create emergent gameplay that ensures no two playthroughs are ever the same.
 
Your Trebhums begin at the bottom of the natural food chain but can mutate and evolve with new physical attributes and abilities by eating a variety of flora and fauna. Discover and adapt dozens of mutations, including new traversal skills like flying and swimming to reach new areas, and new senses to help overcome puzzles, challenges and dangers. Your many Trebhums can each have different mutations, and new mutations don’t replace ones you already have, letting you stack ability sets in dynamic ways. Each mutation will also change the physical look of a Trebhum and stacking these will generate near countless surprising new creature designs which players will be able to organically discover as they explore this unique alien ecosystem.

Sporty Fighter KungFu Kickball Scores PC, Console Release in Q1 2020

SYDNEY – 15 Aug. 2019 – KungFu Kickball, the team-based sports platform fighter from developer WhaleFood Games and Sydney-based publisher Blowfish Studios, strikes Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam for Windows PC and Mac in Q1 2020.

Square off against friends in a fantasy sport that infuses the action of soccer with martial arts. Unleash a whirlwind of kicks, punches, and magical abilities to take out the opposing team and boot the ball downfield. Score points by overpowering or outmaneuvering rival defenders and send the ball crashing into one of the gigantic bells at either end of the stadium.

KungFu Kickball makes use of minimalistic controls to create an accessible yet competitive experience. Matches are fast-paced tug-of-war-style showdowns where players switch between offensive strikes and defensive stands at the drop of a hat — or the ring of a bell. And with six stages and three player classes to choose between, every match takes on its own character.

Featuring local and online 1v1 and 2v2 multiplayer, KungFu Kickball allows for rivalries to form on the couch or over the Internet. Challenge friends, foes, and strangers alike to see which side can pull off the best maneuvers and ultimately determine who is the KungFu Kickball master.

“KungFu Kickball is a new kind of sports game that injects the high-flying action of martial arts,” said Ben Lee, co-founder, Blowfish Studios. “As fans of both sport and kung fu action, we’re having a lot of fun with this project and look forward to sharing it with everyone early next year.”

KungFu Kickball will feature support for English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese language options. Blowfish Studios will showcase KungFu Kickball at PAX West 2019 in Seattle from Aug. 30 through Sept. 2.

SENRAN KAGURA Peach Ball Launches an Extra Ball on Steam

TILT-ilating Pinball-Themed Entry Lands on PC; Previously Sold-out Physical Nintendo Switch™ Edition Now Available

Torrance, Calif. – August 14, 2019 – XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that SENRAN KAGURA Peach Ball, the latest pinball-themed entry in the genre-spanning SENRAN KAGURA franchise, is now available on Windows PC via Steam for $39.99, £35.99, and €39.99. The PC version of the game is discounted 10% off of the normal price during the first week following its release. Additionally, the company is pleased to confirm that the sold-out physical edition for Nintendo Switch™ system is now back in stock due to popular demand! The Nintendo Switch version can be ordered through the XSEED Games’ online store and select retailers for a suggested retail price of $39.99.

After the series’ unforgettable entries in the brawler, rhythm cooking, and third-person splasher genres, SENRAN KAGURA Peach Ball brings the deadly shinobi-in-training to a new genre: pinball. During missions, players flip, bump, spin, or tilt the Peach Ball to bring it into contact with one of five shinobi girls perched atop a colorful pinball table. The PC release includes support for higher framerates and more resolutions.

About SENRAN KAGURA Peach Ball

So…this is going to take some explaining. Haruka, the mad scientist of Homura’s Crimson Squad, is up to her usual experiments again, brewing up mysterious concoctions with unknown effects. Unfortunately for her fellow shinobi, she’s chosen the local arcade she works at as her laboratory, storing her experiments in the bathroom. After an accidental outbreak infects five of her shinobi friends, she learns that her latest concoction can transform those exposed to it into animals, at least mentally.

Now, with Asuka, Yumi, Yomi, Ryona, and Murasaki causing wild havoc in and around the arcade, Haruka has devised a way to return these shinobi to their senses: the mystical Peach Ball. Applied to a subject’s body repeatedly, with the proper vibrational force, it can undo the effects of her experiment. Conveniently, it’s just the right size for a pinball table. Now all Haruka needs is a skilled assistant to operate the table, bopping each shinobi girl with the ball until she comes around.

SENRAN KAGURA Peach Ball is developed by HONEY∞PARADE GAMES, Inc. and launched for Windows PC via Steam on August 14. The game is available for $39.99, £35.99, and €39.99 with a 10% launch week discount. The title was published by XSEED Games for Nintendo Switch™ in North America and Europe by Marvelous Europe on July 9, and is available digitally in the Nintendo eShop and physically at XSEED Games’ online store and select retailers for a suggested retail price of $39.99. This title is rated “M for Mature” by the ESRB on Nintendo Switch™ and PC.

• Preorders for PS4 start today, August 14, 2019
• Digital preorders for PC start on August 19, 2019

THQ Nordic, Produced in Association with Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) and Oasis Games Limited today announced that it is releasing the game “Monkey King: Hero is Back” as well as the special “Hero Edition” version of the game for PC and PlayStation®4 (PS4™) on October 17, 2019. Players can pre-order the game from PlayStation™ Store (PS Store). 

For PC, THQ Nordic will be distributing the physical Standard Edition, with digital preorders starting on August 19 2019.

On PS4, THQ Nordic will be distributing the digital and physical Standard Edition, as well as the the digital version of the Hero Edition, with digital preorders starting today, on August 14 2019.

“Monkey King: Hero is Back” Overview
The game is based on the thrilling Chinese action fantasy movie “Monkey King: Hero is Back” that was released in theaters in 2015, and tells the story of a young boy named Liuer and his adventures with the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, who is released after having been imprisoned for 500 years. Known by movie fans worldwide as one of the premier examples of Chinese animation, the movie went on to set a box office record for animated movies in China at the time, grossing more than 160 million EUR upon its release.

With “Monkey King: Hero is Back” for PlayStation®4, Sony Interactive Entertainment has teamed up with Oct Animation Studio, the studio behind the movie’s breathtaking visuals, to create a game faithful to the look and feel of the movie.

Like the movie, this action-adventure game tells the story of the young monk Liuer meeting his hero Sun Wukong, but places the focus on the Monkey King himself while also introducing players to various stories and subplots not found in the movie. Together, Sun Wukong, Liuer, and Pigsy embark on a journey of adventure, while deepening the bonds of friendship between them. Players assume the role of Sun Wukong and use his mystical skills and abilities to defeat the assorted foes before them. The game immerses players in the middle of their own tale of adventure, while also enabling them to experience the rich and deep story the beloved movie is known for.

The “Monkey King: Hero is Back” Hero Edition features the main game plus the season pass, consisting of two additional stories available as DLC (“Uproar in Heaven” and “Mind Palace”), 2 in-game costumes for the protagonist (Tuxedo and the Dasheng Doll), as well as special items that can be utilized within the game. 

The preorders for both editions on PS4 will begin on August 14 2019. Additionally, the PS4 versions will feature a special bonus for those who pre-order the game: two exclusive game modes (“Paradise” and “Desperation”), and a PS4 theme.

Daedalic’s Adventure Classic Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes Now Available on Consoles

Face your demons and survive in a convent school full of weird characters on PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One for the first time!

HAMBURG, Germany — Aug. 14, 2019 — German publisher and developer Daedalic Entertainment has announced that the classic point-and-click adventure Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes, one of its signature brands, is now available on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One for the very first time. Players can grab the award-winning game via the PlayStation®Store, Nintendo eShop and Microsoft Store.

Harvey’s New Eyes stars Lilli, a shy convent-school pupil whose only escape from her suffering under the strict rule of the mother superior is her imagination. When the evil psychologist Dr. Marcel is brought in to brainwash the children, he hypnotizes Lilli with mental blocks that stop her from acting out. Lilli has to find a way to break her mental blocks, face her fears, and help her best friend Edna, a fellow student and the protagonist of Edna & Harvey: The Breakout, to escape the doctor’s nefarious clutches.

Harvey’s New Eyes is full of black humor, absurd situations and clever puzzles that will make fans of humorous point-and-click adventures like Monkey Island feel right at home. Lilli’s adventure oscillates between the whimsical and the bizarre, and the game’s deadpan narrator can’t help but spice up the story with sarcastic comments. The game’s quirky characters and detailed locations are lovingly hand-drawn with a cartoon-like 2D art style.

Press assets for Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes can be found here.
