Let’s Go Nuts Bounds Onto Nintendo Switch Today

Let’s Go Nuts Bounds Onto Nintendo Switch Today

Warsaw, Poland – 18 July, 2019 – Let’s Go Nuts, the wacky multiplayer platformer from BeardedBrothers.Games, fends off an alien invasion today on Nintendo Switch™. 

Overcome boiling toxic goo and sludge-flinging alien foes in this colorful game of the floor is lava by bounding between precarious platforms. Dash into boxes to send them flying across the level and form new paths. Combine agility with quick and strategic thinking to collect nuts scattered through each level and get to the finish line in record time.

Take on furry friends in competitive multiplayer supporting up to four players or join together in co-operative mode to save the forest and stockpile points. Endless mode adds a side-scrolling race to escape a looming wave of toxic waste set to destroy any clumsy rodents who fall behind for solo or group play.

Aliens have brought cartoony ruin from outer space and only the most heroic of squirrels can save all critter-kind. Guide furry paws through zany environments from a flaming forest to the bowels of an alien ship in a quest to bring peace to the forest. Progress through the campaign to unlock new worlds and cosmetic items, with a range of hats and outfits to make even quirkier squirrel avatars.

“We wanted to make Let’s Go Nuts as wacky as possible without losing sight of what makes platforming so fun,” said Dariusz Skrzypkowski, co-founder, BeardedBrothers.Games. “There are many approaches to beating the levels, with the potential for some truly ridiculous speed running tactics.”

Let’s Go Nuts is now available in English for $9.99, with a 70% discount on Nintendo Switch for a limited time.

Streets of Rage 4 Soundtrack Details Revealed: Series Composers Yūzō Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima Contributing New Music to Streets of Rage 4, Joined by Epic Lineup of Legendary Japanese Games Composers.

Talent behind beloved, classic tracks for Street Fighter II, Kingdom Hearts,
Sonic the Hedgehog and more also supporting soundtrack

PARIS – July 17, 2019 – Publisher and co-developer Dotemu (Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, Windjammers 1 and 2) with co-developers Lizardcube (Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap) and Guard Crush Games (Streets of Fury) today revealed that Yūzō Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima, the original Streets of Rage series’ incomparable composers, will be joined by an all-star ensemble in contributing brand new tracks for the Streets of Rage 4 soundtrack.

In a new video released by Dotemu, Yūzō Koshiro and fellow Streets of Rage composer Motohiro Kawashima detail their direction and goals in making an impactful, unforgettable score for Streets of Rage 4. Filmed earlier this year during BitSummit, the group discusses a range of subjects, from channeling the thumping club anthems fans loved in the original games to crafting sounds that weren’t heard in the previous entries.

The full videoclip can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-1e1cbiKpg&feature=youtu.be

Revealing that Yūzō Koshiro and studio Ancient pitched a sequel to Streets of Rage at one point, the video also candidly explores some of the internal pressures that the original Streets of Rage team was facing during development while directly competing with Capcom’s Street Fighter II, which at the time was being scored by Yoko Shimomura. The legendary Shinomura is revealed below as lending her musical mastery to the upcoming soundtrack as well.

Thanks to the help of Brave Wave Productions, a music label that brings the work of Japanese game musicians to global audiences, Streets of Rage 4 will feature original music from:

Yūzō Koshiro (Streets of Rage 1, 2 & 3, Ys I & II, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Revenge Shinobi, Shenmue I & II, Super Smash Bros. Brawl for 3DS and Wii U & Ultimate, ActRaiser 1 & 2,…)

Motohiro Kawashima (Streets of Rage 2 & 3, Shinobi II, Batman Returns,…)

Yoko Shimomura (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Kingdom Hearts I, II & III, Super Mario RPG, Legend of Mana, Parasite Eve,…)

Hideki Naganuma (Jet Set Radio & Future, Super Monkey Ball, Sega Rally 2,…)

Keiji Yamagishi (Ninja Gaiden, Tecmo Bowl, Captain Tsubasa,…)

“Among these names stand some of the most legendary and memorable musical architects in video game history,” said Cyrille Imbert, executive producer of Streets of Rage 4. “Since we first announced the title last fall, fans have been asking who will be involved in the game’s soundtrack as it is a vital element to the Streets of Rage games. We are thrilled to confirm this world-class lineup of musical talent for Streets of Rage 4.”

Streets of Rage 4 will be the first entry to the core series in 25 years, standing as Axel and Blaze’s glorious return to serving up side-scrolling beatdowns. With lush hand-drawn animations, new combat abilities, and fresh tracks from an amazing team of composers, Streets of Rage 4 will be a masterful tribute to and revitalization of the classic action fans adore.

More information and surprises about the Streets of Rage 4 soundtrack will be revealed in the future.

EXPERIENCE THE WORLD OF ATLANTIS IN THE FINAL EPISODE OF ASSASSIN’S CREED® ODYSSEY THE FATE OF ATLANTIS

Sydney, Australia — July 17, 2019 — Today, Ubisoft announced that Judgment of Atlantis, the final episode of the post-launch story arc of Assassin’s Creed® Odyssey The Fate of Atlantis, is now available on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Windows PC. Judgment of Atlantis concludes the episodic post-launch story arcs introduced with Legacy of the First Blade and is the final large episodic narrative installation coming to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBVQbuN9Y_A&feature=youtu.be

Judgment of Atlantis transports players to the legendary world of Atlantis, a gorgeous landscape of architectural progress and clear water, and a playground for Isu knowledge and power. As the last trial to master the Staff of Hermes, players must make the hardest decisions yet in a world where humans and Isu coexist. In this often unstable world, Poseidon, ruler of Atlantis, tries to maintain balance and hopes that our hero, dubbed the Dikastes, judge of Atlantis, will bring harmony to his kingdom.

Each of the episodes of The Fate of Atlantis introduced new ability enhancements related to different branches of the skill tree – Hunter, Warrior and Assassin. In this third episode, players will discover three new ability enhancements, including:

  • Ares Wrath, part of the Warrior branch of the skill tree, is an enhancement to the Ring of Chaos ability. Players smash the ground with the Broken Spear to create a large area where all enemies inside slow down and take damage after a few seconds.
  • Blessing of Kronos, part of the Assassin branch, is an enhancement to the Venomous Attacks ability. Player’s receive the Isu Power for a limited amount of time, giving immunity to Isu effects, such as Adrenalin Freeze and Adrenalin Drain. It also boosts the amount of Adrenalin gain and extends weapon range.
  • Kronos’ Punishment, part of the Assassin branch, is an enhancement to the Call to Arms ability. Create a replica of our hero that performs a stealth attack to the target, so players can assassinate enemies without exposing themselves when there are many enemies close together.

In order to play Judgment of Atlantis, players must complete the previous episodes from The Fate of Atlantis in addition to the below:

  • Following the main game, players will have to complete the questline Between Two Worlds, the mythological main game story arc and the Lost Tales of Greece questline Heir of Memories that is available after completing the former questline. Finally, they must have reached character level 28 or above.
  • For players who have not completed the main game, a shortcut was developed allowing them to enter Greece level 52 with all their preset abilities and resources, so they can access Heir of Memories to start their adventure into the afterlife. However, player progression using the shortcut will not carry over to the main game save, and they will not be able to obtain achievements.

The Assassin’s Creed Odyssey post-launch plan has been the biggest and most ambitious in the franchise, and season pass owners have access to two major episodic storylines, Legacy of the First Blade and The Fate of Atlantis. The season pass also includes Assassin’s Creed® III Remastered and Assassin’s Creed® Liberation Remastered, which released for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Windows PC. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey players will continue to access to free content including the story-focused episodic Lost tales of Greece as well as daily and weekly in-game events.

Better map rotation for Single player mode. Current single player maps will rotate more frequently to keep the single player arenas feel more varied.

Autumn / Fall
Currently in the planning, a new mode code named Adventure Mode (placeholder name). This mode (for both single and multiplayer) will give players the experience of regular game play in a new rogue-lite scenario. The goal of this mode is to give players a more varied challenge per stage. More details about this mode as we move forward.

Winter
Adding more helmets and body armor of users to choose from as well as color options to give players more individuality when fighting with friends!

The PC version will receive a number of improvements including support for multiple resolutions and language options, ensuring that the detailed character illustrations remain crisp to keep players immersed in the story as they learn more about the cast of characters while tracking their relationships with them in-game.

About London Detective Mysteria

Eschew the frivolities of 19th century London’s high society and instead delve into the curiosities that lie hidden in London’s darkest corners in London Detective Mysteria. Playing as the heiress of House Whiteley, players will name their own Lady Whiteley as they investigate mysteries of London and interact with personalities inspired by famous fictional characters including Detective Holmes, Jack the Ripper, and more. Take full control over the experience by adjusting text speed or even the individual speaking volumes of individual characters and their original Japanese voices. Players must choose their words carefully as they interact with other characters, as decisions made throughout the story will not only affect special rewards but will also shape whether Lady Whiteley finds love or something more sinister in the shadows of 19th century London.

London Detective Mysteria will be available digitally with a bonus 92-page digital art book for Windows PC via Steam, GOG.com, and The Humble Store by Humble Bundle for $29.99, €29.99, and £24.99 on July 31, 2019 with a 10% launch week discount.
