– Online Multiplayer Mayhem, Reverse Horror, Original Bootlegs and an Arcade Game –

Los Angeles – This evening Devolver Digital announced its most ambitious E3 offering to date during its Devolver Digital Big Fancy Press Conference 2019 with four new games revealed from independent developers around the world. The Devolver Digital Big Fancy Press Conference 2019 continued the Devolver Digital E3 Press Conference Cinematic Universe (DDE3PCCU) and the senseless and revered violence that comes with modern-day E3 video game marketing events. Announcements included everything from a massively multiplayer party game to a collection of original rip-off bootlegs to a legitimate arcade-light gun game and we can’t say we even know what we are doing anymore. But at least we’re trying to have some fun.

Details on the games revealed during the Devolver Digital Big Fancy Press Conference are as follows:

Fall Guys, Developed by Mediatonic
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout flings 100 contestants together online in a mad dash through round after round of escalating chaos until one victor remains. Battle bizarre obstacles, shove through unruly competitors, and overcome the unbending laws of physics to avoid both humiliation and elimination. Leave your dignity at the door and prepare for hilarious failure in your quest for the crown.

Platforms: PlayStation 4, PC

Devolver Bootleg, Developed by Doinksoft

Carrion, Developed by Phobia Game Studio

Website: carrion.games

Enter the Gungeon: House of the Gundead, Developed by Griffin Aerotech and Dodge ROll

Hey Vault Hunters! Kicking off E3 with a huge surprise, 2K Games, Gearbox Software, and Gearbox Studio Québec today announced that Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith & The Fight for Sanctuary is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam.

Commander Lilith & The Fight for Sanctuary is a brand new downloadable campaign expansion for Borderlands 2 – the award-winning shooter-looter that originally launched in 2012 – that brings players back to the wilds of Pandora for a brand new adventure that sets the stage for Borderlands 3 (launching September 13).

Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection product owners will be able to download this DLC for free until July 8. Don’t own Borderlands 2 yet? Good news! It’s never been easier to get your hands on the legendary shooter because Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is currently available at little to no cost thanks to several ongoing promotions – full details listed below.

Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary takes place shortly after the events of the main story in Borderlands 2. Sanctuary is under siege, the Vault Map has been stolen, and a toxic gas is poisoning Pandora. You’ll step back into the boots of legendary Vault Hunters Maya, Salvador, Axton, Zer0, Gaige or Krieg to battle new bosses, explore new areas, and collect new loot, including an entirely new tier beyond Legendary. Join up with Lilith and the Crimson Raiders to take on a deranged villain hell-bent on claiming the Vault Map for himself.

If you haven’t played Borderlands 2 to completion, don’t worry, you’ll still be able to jump right in and enjoy this story expansion. While veteran players can pursue the new level cap of 80, newcomers will be able to create a brand new level 30 Vault Hunter at the Select Character screen and dive straight into the action.

For more information about all the exciting content available in Commander Lilith & The Fight for Sanctuary, please refer to the fact sheet attached.

A NEW DAWN BEGINS AS BANDAI NAMCO ENTERTAINMENT AMERICA INC. ANNOUNCES TALES OF ARISE

With New Leadership Spearheading the Tales Of Development Team, the Popular JRPG Franchise is Poised to Take Players on Bigger and Grander Adventures  

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – June 9, 2019 – Leading interactive entertainment media publisher and developer BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc., today announced Tales of Arise™ the latest chapter in the popular Tales Of Japanese role-playing-game franchise. With Yusuke Tomizawa (head of the God Eater franchise) at the helm of the Tales Of development team, the franchise and its latest chapter promise to deliver new storylines, gameplay dynamics, and worlds for players to explore. Tales of Arise is slated for launch in the Americas in 2020 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, and PC.  

Tales of Arise takes place in a solar system containing the two neighboring planets of Dahna and Rena. The inhabitants of Dahna have always paid reverence to their planetary neighbors on Rena – a planet they can clearly see in their sky – as a land of the righteous and divine. For the people of Dahna, legends and lore about Rena and its inhabitants have been handed down for countless generations, and through time, have become facts in their minds that have actually masked a cruel reality for the people of Dahna. For 300 years, the people of Rena have ruled over Dahna, pillaging the planet of its resources and stripping its people of their dignity and freedom. Tales of Arise begins with two people, born on different worlds, each longing to change their fate and create a new future for themselves and perhaps their people. Featuring an original cast of characters, a dramatic storyline, dynamic combat, breath-taking environments, with some classic Tales Of elements included; Tales of Arise marks a new beginning for the famed JRPG franchise.

“The Tales Of series is a foundational series within BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment and Tales of Arise marks an exciting new beginning for the franchise with Yusuke Tomizawa taking the helm in leading the Tales Of development team.” said Stephen Akana, Senior Global Brand Manager at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “Tales Of games have always delivered wonderous worlds for players to explore, dynamic characters for players to meet, and challenging battles for players to fight. Tales of Arise promises to take these tenants to new heights and we look forward to players enjoying this new adventure.”

Tales of Arise is slated to launch in the Americas in 2020 for the PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC.
