THE FANTASTIC FOUR ARRIVE IN MARVEL FUTURE FIGHT

Marvel’s First Family Brings Allies and Enemies Along in New Update

LOS ANGELES (January 9, 2019) – Netmarble Corp. announced that the Fantastic Four have arrived in the epic Super Hero action-RPG mobile game, MARVEL Future Fight! First introduced in 1961, Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), The Invisible Woman (Susan Richards), the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), and The Thing (Ben Grimm) have taken generations of readers along on some of the greatest comic adventure stories ever told.

The Fantastic Four are not alone, as they’ve brought along their perennial nemesis, Doctor Doom, and his champion of Latveria, Victorious. Along with these six new characters, Crystal and She-Hulk – existing Marvel Future Fight characters who have been friends and former members of the Fantastic Four team – will all receive new Fantastic Four uniforms. The update will also include a new “Monsters Unleashed!” battle armor uniform for Moon Girl, designed by Netmarble in collaboration with Marvel Games.

A new Epic Quest has been added to the game, focusing on Mister Fantastic. Players will receive the Mister Fantastic character as soon as they begin the Epic Quest and will gain strength each time an Epic Quest is completed. Mister Fantastic can be upgraded to Tier-3 and will have access to Ultimate Skills. The “Unleash Potential” feature will also be unlocked for Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, The Thing, Doctor Doom, Victorious, Crystal, She-Hulk, and Moon Girl.

Other new additions included in this update are a new Character Rank board, where players can see the most popular Characters listed, an improved World Boss Rank board, new Comic Cards and Card Collections, which includes the “Monsters Unleashed!” comic event, as well as new Uniform Collections and more.

“Everyone at Marvel is so excited to see the Fantastic Four, who many consider kicked off the ‘Marvel Age of Comics’ with their debut, added to Marvel Future Fight,” said Marvel Games executive creative director Bill Rosemann. “While they may have awesome powers and go on amazing journeys into the unknown, at their heart the Fantastic Four are a family who may argue and bicker from time to time, but who ultimately stand with each other to protect the world against the universe’s greatest sci-fi threats.”

MARVEL Future Fight recently celebrated its third anniversary, hosting special in-game events for its audience of more than 86 million players around the world. The game is currently available worldwide in the App Store® and Google Play™.

Sleep Tight Creeps to Nintendo Switch™ in Europe and Australia this January

LOS ANGELES – 9 Jan., 2019 – Sleep Tight, the twin-stick, base-building shooter wrapped in blankets of nostalgia, will haunt the European and Australian Nintendo Switch™ eShops 24 Jan. 2019.

With an arsenal of toy weaponry that spans everything from dart guns to water balloons, fight off the monsters until dawn to purchase new gear and upgrades to survive the nights to come.

Making it to morning may seem simple at first, but each new level brings a step up in difficulty. This encourages players to get creative and explore a range of strategies to achieve new high scores and unlock more characters, all of which come with their own distinctive play styles.

“Sleep Tight is rooted in a common childhood experience and we’ve seen it strike a nostalgic chord with players,” said Maxx Burman, creative director, We Are Fuzzy. “We are happy to share that feeling with the amazing Switch community in Europe.”

YOSHI’S CRAFTED WORLD FOR NINTENDO SWITCH AND KIRBY’S EXTRA EPIC YARN FOR NINTENDO 3DS BOTH LAUNCH IN MARCH 2019

Both games feature handcrafted style, beloved Nintendo characters and platforming gameplay which can be enjoyed by players of all ages.

9^th January, 2019 – New handcrafted Yoshi and Kirby games are launching in March 2019. Yoshi’s Crafted World, a brand-new adventure and the first game starring Yoshi for Nintendo Switch, launches exclusively for the console on 29^th March 2019. Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn launches for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on 9^th March 2019.

In Yoshi’s Crafted World players take control of a Yoshi exploring a big world crafted from household items like boxes and paper cups, navigating each themed stage to solve puzzles and find hidden treasures. On the flip side, stages can be played backwards, providing new perspectives to explore and the challenge to find Poochy-Pups that are hiding around the course. Players can even join up with a friend to play through the game in two-player co-op.

In Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn, an enhanced version of the acclaimed Kirby’s Epic Yarn that was originally released for the Wii system, Kirby is transported into a world made of cloth and yarn to unravel enemies, unzip secret passageways and transform into powerful vehicles. Every stage in the original Wii version is stitched in, but this Nintendo 3DS version has some new features, like new Ravel Abilities that power up Kirby in fun ways, new mini-games featuring familiar faces King Dedede and Meta Knight, new furniture to personalise and decorate Kirby’s Pad, and a new Devilish mode that adds an extra layer of challenge to each stage.

Some of the Ravel Abilities include a giant yarn ball used to attack enemies, a wire sword that can slice through anything and the Nylon ability, which can generate wind for jumping higher and collecting beads.

The creative, colourful and visually stunning game also features new amiibo functionality* for compatible Kirby series amiibo figures** that gives Kirby wearable hats and abilities based on the figure used.

Fans of Yoshi and Kirby have a lot to look forward to in March, as Yoshi’s Crafted World launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on 29^th March 2019, and Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn launches for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on 9^th March 2019.

Notes to Editors:

*amiibo sold separately.

**Those with a New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL or New Nintendo 2DS XL can touch the amiibo directly to their system, whereas those with a Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL or Nintendo 2DS require the Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer accessory (sold separately).
