SABER INTERACTIVE UNLEASHES NEW CLASS GAMEPLAY TRAILER FOR WORLD WAR Z

Outlive the Dead in Four-player Co-op with Six Playable Classes, All Loaded for Action

MAPLEWOOD, N.J. – Dec. 12, 2018 – Saber Interactive has released a new gameplay trailer for World War Z, the upcoming four-player co-op multiplayer game inspired by Paramount Pictures’ blockbuster action film. This newest look at one of gaming’s most anticipated third-person shooters breaks down the game’s main classes, each bringing a unique playstyle and balance of firepower and abilities to the carnage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKFP3pzoeuk&feature=youtu.be

Each of World War Z’s six playable classes comes loaded with several unique perks, but here’s a taste of what’s in store for the undead hordes when you play:

• Gunslinger – For those who skip the questions and shoot first, the Gunslinger is loaded with an arsenal of weapon damage and ammo-boosting perks to mow down the dead.
• Hellraiser – Enough explosives can solve any problem! Hellraisers come armed with C4 and other tools for effective crowd control.
• Slasher – For warriors with a sense of elegance, the best way to kill is with your trusty blade. Slashers have perks that increase melee damage and effectiveness while their armed tasers deliver electrifying results.
• Medic – Sometimes the best way to fight the undead is keeping your teammates from becoming one of them. Armed with a Stim Pistol, Medics can heal fellow survivors from a distance and help keep the chaos under control.
• Fixer – When versatility in any situation is the highest priority, the Fixer is there for you, starting out with an explosive ammo case and several teammate ammo-restoring perks.
• Exterminator – Fire is the answer! Armed with Molotov cocktails and increased fire damage, the Exterminator just wants to watch the undead burn.

World War Z takes players on a zombie-packed journey of unique survivor stories all around the world, including New York, Moscow, Jerusalem and more. Powered by Saber’s dynamic Swarm Engine™, the game unleashes hundreds of fast-moving, bloodthirsty zombies at a time on players for a heart-pounding action experience. Work together with your teammates, using deadly weapons, explosives, turrets, traps and barricades to dismember and demolish the undead menace, then level up and customize your heroes to survive even more difficult challenges.

World War Z is expected to launch in 2019 on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC. For more information, visit www.WWZGame.com, and follow the game on Facebook at www.facebook.com/WWZGame, Twitter @WWZTheGame and Instagram @WWZGame.

Dark Devotion’s Tension-Building Design Detailed in New Gameplay-Focused Video

Fiendish Action RPG’s Core Mechanics Explored in Developer Diary Ahead of Q1 2019 Release

PARIS – Dec. 12, 2018 – Publisher The Arcade Crew and developer Hibernian Workshop today shared an expansive overview of the combat, progression and exploration-minded design informing Dark Devotion, the upcoming action RPG set to test players’ sparring skills and determination in early 2019.

The clip shares insight direct from Hibernian Workshop on the engrossing sense of discovery rippling through Dark Devotion’s ominous temple, and the developer’s focus on balancing an omnipresent impression of danger with a vital allure of the unknown. The game is designed to inspire a relentless feeling of uncertainty which still encourages risk taking in the hopes of finding new gear or resources which may better odds for survival.

The video also offers glimpses at the brutal boss encounters players will face while searching Dark Devotion’s grim chambers. These battles serve as pivotal tests for whether players have aptly mastered cautionary, agile movement by dodging traps lining the game’s environments as well as the reflex-testing combat they’ll engage in with more modest horrors.

Dark Devotion’s macabre pixelated world is teeming with subjects eager to prove themselves to an unquestioned God, where no magnitude of suffering is too great a sacrifice. Enveloped in a foreboding atmosphere informed by H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe, the game dares players to endure a sense of dread and looming death to find the gear and tenacity required to prove their faith’s strength has no equal.

Faithful subjects dedicated to all things Dark Devotion should visit (https://www.darkdevotion.fr/) and add the game to their Steam wishlist (https://store.steampowered.com/app/718590/Dark_Devotion/).

Salt and Sanctuary’s Physical Edition Launches Today on Nintendo Switch

SEATTLE, WA – Dec. 11, 2018 – Salt and Sanctuary, Ska Studios’ brutal hand-drawn 2D Soulslike platformer with over 900,000 downloads, is now available in stores throughout North America as the Drowned Tome Edition, a special physical package for Nintendo Switch published by Leadman Games.

Salt and Sanctuary: Drowned Tome includes a Nintendo Switch game cartridge, a full manual, a double-sided poster featuring the Sodden Knight on one side and a hand-drawn world map of the island on the other, and a download code for the Salt and Sanctuary original soundtrack, all for $29.99.

Following a devastating encounter with an eldritch beast, a single survivor from a condemned ship crew washes ashore. An elderly figure greets them as they wake, referring to this lonesome soul as the Saltborn. Realizing that this is just the beginning of their nightmare, the Saltborn begins the seemingly-impossible task of escaping an island teeming with hellish beasts and vengeful undead.

Weather the storm alone or with a friend via local co-op: Salt and Sanctuary pits its hero, or heroes, against more than twenty cruel and horrifying bosses. Always tough, but never unfair, characters can slay the island’s unsettling abominations however they see fit. Create a character with choosing from a vast pool of weapons, armor, spells, prayers and a massive skill tree that expands upon progression.

After uncovering the haunting past of the land, the Saltborn can return to the island for further punishment. Customize characters to challenge death again and again, as New Game+ breathes new life into weary heroes and every build changes the gameplay entirely. For those interested in a more brutal experience, modes like no blocking, no rolling, and permadeath continue to satisfy the desire for an unforgiving Soulslike experience.

“After so much support and enthusiasm for Salt and Sanctuary, it feels great to be able to bring fans this special physical edition on Switch,” said Michelle and James Silva, co-creators at Ska Studios. “We welcome you to our cursed realm with open arms. And claws. Very, very sharp claws.”

Salt and Sanctuary: The Drowned Tome Edition, published by Leadman Games, is now available for $29.99 via both brick-and-mortar and online retail stores in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
