Digital pre-orders are open for the definitive edition of Blizzard Entertainment’s genre-defining action RPG, which includes the Reaper of Souls® expansion, the Rise of the Necromancer™ pack, and more

SYDNEY, Australia—14 September, 2018—Heed the prophecies, heroes—the newest front in the battle for the fate of Sanctuary will soon open! Diablo III Eternal Collection, the definitive version of Blizzard Entertainment’s acclaimed action RPG, arrives for Nintendo Switch™ on 2 November AEDT/NZDT, giving a whole new generation of gamers the opportunity to face down the horrors of the Burning Hells. Eager adventurers can secure their digital pre-orders starting today through the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch.

Endlessly playable and continually evolving, Diablo III provides a lifetime of challenge and adventure, and the Eternal Collection includes the multitude of features, refinements, and updates that have been added to the game to date. On top of fighting through an epic story campaign that spans the High Heavens, the Burning Hells, and beyond, players can earn bountiful rewards in Adventure Mode, a never-ending onslaught of activity with constantly shifting objectives across all of the game’s locales. Diablo III Eternal Collection also includes Seasons, a recurring game mode that encourages players to create fresh characters, earn exclusive Seasonal rewards, and crush hordes of demons to earn spots on their region’s leaderboards.

“The gates of Hell will soon be opening once again, and we couldn’t be more excited to have Nintendo Switch players joining the battle,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Whether they’re bravely diving in alone or teaming up with friends, Sanctuary’s newest heroes are in store for endless adventuring—and endless loot—when Diablo III Eternal Collection launches on 2 November.”

Diablo III Eternal Collection has been forged to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch System’s flexibility and versatility, whether players are using the Joy-Con controller or a Pro Controller. And true to Diablo’s spirit, players will have a wealth of options when it comes to cleansing Sanctuary cooperatively—parties of up to four can play together, either by sharing a screen on a single Nintendo Switch, linking their consoles together wirelessly, or connecting through the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service.

Diablo III is the fastest-selling PC game of all time.* The Reaper of Souls expansion introduced the mighty Crusader class, the infinitely-replayable Adventure Mode, and a host of other game-defining features, like the random loot-filled Nephalem Rift dungeons. In 2017, Rise of the Necromancer resurrected the fan-favourite Necromancer class from Diablo II, bolstering players’ forces with the gruesome powers of blood and bone. All of this is included in Diablo III Eternal Edition for the Nintendo Switch, on top of platform-exclusive bonus items, like Ganondorf’s cosmetic armour set, inspired by the iconic villain from The Legend of Zelda series.

Diablo III Eternal Collection for Nintendo Switch will be available on 2 November at retail stores everywhere and digitally through the Nintendo eShop at RRP $89.95 AUD / $109.99 NZD.

Preorders for acclaimed game start today on Nintendo eShop

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – 14 September 2018 – Armello, the acclaimed fantasy digital board game from League of Geeks, will launch for Nintendo Switch™ on 27 Sept. 2018. Both Armello and Armello – Complete Edition are available to pre-order today via the Nintendo eShop for $19.99 USD / €19.99 / £14.99 and $39.99 USD / €39.99 / £29.99, respectively.

The Complete Edition includes the base game bundled with the four Bandit Clan heroes, eight additional playable characters from the “Usurpers” and “Rivals” hero packs, two alternative board skins from the “Seasons” pack, additional hero skins, and the premium dice pack. Including all content and improvements since the game’s 2015 debut, Armello on the Nintendo Switch™ combines the best of the intricate, magical strategy that has captivated so many with accessible and on-the-move gameplay of Nintendo’s popular console.

In the Kingdom of Armello, mighty heroes from the realm’s five clans – Bear, Rabbit, Rat, Wolf, and Bandit – embark on a perilous journey to challenge the crazed lion king for his crown and save the land from a dark, corrupting force known as the Rot.

Select one of 20 champions and embrace their unique strengths, weaknesses, and character-specific hero abilities while vying against three opponents also out to usurp the throne. Overcome the competition by any means necessary in this rich hybrid of role-playing and tabletop games.

With a collection of characters, a variety of victory conditions, procedurally-generated maps, dynamic questlines, unlockable items, collectables, and more, every match of Armello has something different to offer and brings worlds of cards and dice alive in new and magical ways.

“For over three years now, Armello has taken the experience of playing board games with a table full of friends and brought that to life in a virtual space,” said Trent Kusters, co-founder and director, League of Geeks. “Not only does Armello play brilliantly on the Switch, whether docked or on the go, but players new and old will inherit years of content, updates, and improvements when Armello launches on Nintendo Switch.”

An IGF, Indiecade, and SXSW awards finalist, Armello is also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, and recently launched for Android.

Hilarious Live-Action Dating Simulator Super Seducer 2 is Now Available on Steam

Live-Action Dating Sim Sequel Launches with Ten Times the Budget, a More Diverse Cast, the Female Perspective, and an Even More Comical Script

PORT-LOUIS, MAURITIUS (SEPTEMBER 13, 2018) – Best-selling author and renowned dating coach Richard La Ruina’s much-anticipated dating sim sequel, Super Seducer 2, is now available for Windows PC and Mac! The self-proclaimed “Friendly Neighborhood Seduction Guru” graces Steam once more with a bigger, better, and more conscientious full-motion-video (FMV) game where you learn the artistry of attraction. Armed with the feedback of players and critics alike, Super Seducer 2 re-enters the dating and seduction simulation scene with more meaningful content, adding women’s dating perspectives, a diverse cast of characters, and improved scenario feedback!

In Super Seducer 2, dating masters Richard La Ruina and Charlotte Jones guide players on how to become the most delightful bachelors and bachelorettes on the market. Adversely, they criticize and demonize actions that overstep boundaries and disrespect potential love interests. Richard La Ruina — in collaboration with a predominantly female cast and crew, his wife and producer Kate La Ruina, and America’s #1 Asian Dating Coach JT Tran — implements his most sound and inclusive dating tips into Super Seducer 2. Exploring everything from social cues to the psychology behind a first impression and everything in between, Super Seducer 2 teaches players of different backgrounds and gender how to become irresistible and make the right flirtatious choices so that they may soon find themselves in the arms of their soulmate.

“So many lovely and talented people helped make Super Seducer 2 a reality and a soon-to-be hit, including fans of the first game and even its critics,” said Richard La Ruina, creator of Super Seducer 2. “From day one, we utilized the feedback we received to make the sequel a more inclusive experience for all. Based on the game’s Steam wishlist count, that’s resonated well.

“The team and I hope,” he continued, “that players have even more fun this time around and truly learn how to be more confident and considerate when out on the dating field; that is our primary goal, and we ask those who remain cynical of our efforts to try Super Seducer 2 for themselves.”

“We put everything into making Super Seducer 2 as approachable and funny as possible, and I’m very proud of the result,” said Kate La Ruina, producer of Super Seducer 2. “I hope the fans of the first game love it and that we can convince some of the detractors to give the game a chance. We set out to make people laugh and teach them along the way how to properly start a relationship which is something everyone can relate to.”

Super Seducer 2 is a mature, non-nudity FMV game and true-to-life dating simulator that teaches men and women alike how to take their skills (or lack thereof) with a love interest to the next level. Like its predecessor, Super Seducer 2 features branching dialogue options that give players control of how each scenario ends. Players that make the wrong moves in their flirtatious conquests face a variety of awkward outcomes that range from simple eye roll to a thoroughly deserved rear choke hold. From professional dating tips from top advisors to outright cringe-inducing cautionary blunders, Super Seducer 2 is sure to leave a lasting impression and give you the tools needed to find that special someone once thought to be out of your league!

Key Features of Super Seducer 2 Include: 

• Two Sides of the Coin: Two dating scenarios played completely from a woman’s perspective and the ability to give consent from the woman’s perspective in the men’s POV scenarios.
• Dating is Everyone’s Game: A larger, racially and gender diverse cast of characters — bringing the total to a whopping 50 versus the original game’s 15. Super Seducer 2 also features an entire chapter in spoken Mandarin language.
• Seeing the Whole Picture: All scenarios feature comprehensive and sensible feedback from both Richard and his knowledgeable female colleague Charlotte Jones.
• Cross-Cultural Dating: Scenarios that encourage players of various ethnic backgrounds to be their unapologetically authentic selves — created under the consultation of ABC’s of Attraction founder JT Tran, America’s #1 Asian Dating Coach and premiere social coach for people of color.
• Swipe Right: An online dating level that digs to the core of what makes a digital first impression stick and how to stand above the rest, because modern dating requires proper use of Tinder and similar apps.
• Everyone Loves a Laugh: Included in the game is an interactive stand-up interlude led by stand-up comedian Leo Kearse. Entertaining a crowd is a lot like dating —  both require charm and confidence.
• Bigger, Better, Stronger: A production budget ten times greater than the original with 50% more playtime, 35 different endings, and more in-depth gameplay featuring flashbacks, multiple locations, and realistic transitions from scenario to scenario.

Super Seducer 2 is available now for purchase for Windows PC on Steam for $12.99 USD at https://uberstrategist.link/SuperSeducer2-Steam. “The Dark Side of Seduction?: The Super Seducer 2 Documentary” and Richard La Ruina’s second book “Soulmate Sequence” are also available for $4.99 USD each, exclusively through Steam as a standalone DLC purchase or with the game in a discounted bundle.

Once they’ve completed the game, fans can directly influence the content of the newly announced Super Seducer 3 ahead of its March 6, 2019 release by contributing to the game’s Steam discussion forum or by sending direct feedback to creator Richard La Ruina through Facebook or Twitter.
