GODZILLA DEFENSE FORCE SMASHES ONTO MOBILE DEVICES WORLDWIDE

Battle and Collect Iconic Godzilla Series Kaiju, Experience the Devastation in the New Launch Trailer

EMERYVILLE, Calif. – June 3, 2019 – Godzilla Defense Force rampages onto mobile devices worldwide as the base management game now available as a free download on the App Store for iOS and on Google Play for Android devices. In Godzilla Defense Force players will battle and collect iconic monsters from more than 29 movies in the Japanese production company TOHO’s classic Godzilla series.

Godzilla Defense Force will take fans through the history of the Toho’s Godzilla franchise, starting with the original 1954 film and on to the present day. Joining forces with powerful allies, such as MechaGodzilla, players will battle to save major cities like London and Tokyo and Sydney from monsters from across Godzilla’s lore.

“Godzilla Defense Force weaves TOHO’s iconic Godzilla series with a fantastic blend of card and defense building mechanics to create unique mobile experience that reflects the heart of the franchise,” said Jaeho Hwang, Director of Neople Studio 42.

Players will improve their ability to defend the world by building an increasingly powerful deck of Monster Cards by defeating world-threatening KAIJU, which can then be strategically used to give new skills and buffs to their decks. As players collect Monster Cards, they not only build their deck’s power, but also add to their Codex, unlocking detailed descriptions of monsters alongside images from their respective movies. When they’re not defending cities, players can bolster their forces through lunar colonization.

“We have been huge fans and players of Magic: The Gathering for as long as it has been around, so being able to help bring these stories to life through animation is a true passion project for us,” said Joe and Anthony Russo.

“Working with Joe and Anthony, Wizards of the Coast, and Netflix on such a universally cherished brand is a real highlight for our studio.” said Isaac Krauss, CEO of Octopie. “Our goal is to not only tell a compelling story leveraging Magic: The Gathering’s incredible body of work, but to also push the medium and perception of storytelling through animation. This series will cross the genres of suspenseful thriller, horror, and drama with deeply developed characters the likes of which are not often seen in animation.”

“More fans are enjoying Magic now than at any time in its 25-year history thanks to the enduring popularity of the tabletop game and our latest release War of the Spark, as well as the incredible success of our new digital game, Magic: The Gathering Arena.” said Chris Cocks, President of Wizards of the Coast. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Joe and Anthony Russo to bring Magic: The Gathering’s rich and diverse cast of characters and worlds to Netflix in a way that will delight our many fans and those new to the franchise.”

MOWIN’ & THROWIN’ OUT NOW ON NINTENDO SWITCH & PC

Couch party game playable online on PC via PARSEC

May 31st, 2019 — House Pixel Games is proud to announce its award-winning game of sabotage Mowin’ & Throwin’ is available now on Nintendo Switch and Steam for $14.99. Use lawn gnomes racing around in nitro-boosted mowers to wreck your neighbor’s yard by blasting rocks, fertilizer bags, and more at your unsuspecting opponents!

Mowin’ & Throwin’ is a competitive lawn mowing experience where the objective of the game is to have the least amount of grass on your lawn before time runs out. Choose your zany gnome avatar and mow down the competition in 2v2 or 1v1 modes. Mowin’ & Throwin’ is great for social gatherings, parties, and public events; as well as playing at home with friends, family, or people you only sort of like!

Mowin’ & Throwin’ Features:

• A stunning variety of items drop from the sky during the match. Use them to knock gnomes off mowers, regrow grass, or flip your opponent’s controls!
• Experience the thrill of mowing at breakneck speeds to gather grass bag ammo to shoot at your rival team’s yard! 
• Grow closer with your friends by teaming up! Or ruin that friendship with a well aimed rock! Keep the couch fun during parties or when you need a break from the online world. 
• The controls and objective of Mowin’ & Throwin’ are easy to learn. But if you want to be a cut above the rest, you’ll need to master each lawn’s unique challenge to turn them to your advantage — some examples include shifting terrain, elevators, destructible environments, darkness, and more!

A single match only takes a few minutes, but Mowin’ & Throwin’ can keep you and your friends occupied for seasons! The experience is best played locally, but the PC edition is also playable online through PARSEC. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions are planned for release later this year as well.
