Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption Redeems Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One Oct. 18, 2018

Coming Soon to Discord; Steam Release Winter 2018

HONG KONG – 28 Sept, 2018 – Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption, the boss battler from publisher Another Indie and the senior AAA veterans at developer Dark Star Game Studios, will come to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 18 Oct. Discord users will also brave its dangers when Sinner debuts on Windows and Mac as a First on Discord launch title later this year, with a Steam release to follow.

Created by a team including a former Ubisoft art director, Konami senior programmer and a Blizzard technical artist, Sinner follows Adam, a soldier with a dark past. Adam embarks on a journey for absolution, facing off against monstrous beasts to reconcile his heinous crimes. Based on the seven deadly sins, these savage specters will reveal their personal connections with Adam as he advances his quest for atonement to a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.

Before dueling each monstrosity, Adam must sacrifice a part of himself and accept a permanent debuff. Battles will become increasingly difficult with each sacrifice as Adam’s vitality is reduced, his arsenal breaks down and his armor withers away. Alternate gear can be unlocked in New Game+ mode, lending replayability to Adam’s journey for redemption.

“Sinner provides the intense action players crave in hardcore games through intimate battles that are accessible in any order,” says Iain Garner, director of developer relations, Another Indie. “By giving players the freedom to choose their path through its devilish challenges, Sinner offers player agency without sacrificing a compelling story.”

Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption will be available for $18.99 in English, Spanish, German, French, Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian.

PARIS — September 27, 2018 — The Arcade Crew has released a new video taking fans behind the scenes for the upcoming run-and-gun sidescroller retro homage Blazing Chrome from Brazilian developer JoyMasher today.

NGD STUDIOS TO PUBLISH SAIBOT STUDIOS’ ‘90s-STYLE FPS HELLBOUND

Leading South American Game Studio Steps Up to Help Catapult Top Talent in the Region

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Sept. 27, 2018 – NGD Studios has announced it will publish independent developer Saibot Studios’ Hellbound. A demonic first-person shooter inspired by ‘90s classics like Quake and DOOM, Hellbound is all about relentless action, fast-paced thrills and brutal gore, combining old-school gameplay with modern-day design and visuals.

“We’ve been the little guy ourselves, so our approach to publishing is a little bit different,” said NGD Studios CEO Martin Cao. “We see ourselves more like a co-developer, with some of the region’s most talented programmers, artists, designers and more available in house to help where we’re most needed and bring our partners the best results. And working with other gamemakers helps further our own self-publishing capabilities, as well.”

With over 16 years of experience developing and publishing games of its own, this marks NGD’s first time publishing another studio’s IP. The partnership will fuel development of Hellbound to its true potential – including a full-fledged single-player campaign – when it officially launches in 2019 on Windows PC.

“Working with NGD will catapult development of Hellbound to the next level, allowing us to create the game we always envisioned,” said Tobias Rusjan, director at Saibot Studios. “Both our teams have really matured in the last few years, and thanks to the trust we share, I’m sure we’ll create a new classic that fans of ‘90s action games will love.”

“Hellbound is a great fit for our publishing strategy: an ambitious game with lots of potential in a genre we love,” said NGD Studios co-founder and CCO Andrés Chilkowski. “Tobias got his first start in the industry right here with us at NGD before finding success with his own independent studio, so it feels like we’ve come full circle with this new step forward.”

Hellbound is available to pre-order now at www.Hellboundgame.com. Players who pre-order the game will get access to Hellbound’s closed beta, expected in 2019. A free early access demo of Hellbound’s survival mode is available now on Windows PC via Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/802200/Hellbound_Survival_Mode.

In addition to its successful Kickstarter campaign, Hellbound is a recipient of an Unreal Dev Grant from Epic Games, providing no-strings-attached funding to promising developers working with Unreal Engine 4. For the latest updates, follow Hellbound on Facebook and @HellboundGame on Twitter.

Pre-orders for Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales launch alongside new story teaser and official website! 

CD PROJEKT RED, creators of The Witcher series of games, announce the launch of pre-orders for Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales — a new adventure set in the universe of monster slayer Geralt of Rivia.

“Thronebreaker is almost here and we couldn’t be happier,” said Marcin Iwiński, co-founder, CD PROJEKT. “What started as a single-player adventure for a multiplayer card game quickly outgrew the original concept and became a game in its own right. Thronebreaker is a proper Witcher tale, with more than 30 hours of story, over 75 side quests, and — at the same time — a game that lets you lead an army into previously unexplored places in the Witcher universe. And all of this is powered by story-driven battles based on the card battle mechanics of GWENT.”

“Pre-orders start later today and Thronebreaker includes some pretty awesome digital goodies. However — and I think it’s important to add this — these are not exclusive to gamers who pre-order. When buying our games, everyone gets the same in-game content. Doesn’t matter if you pre-order it or buy it after launch. We don’t want to lure you in with ‘exclusive item’ bullshit. For us, pre-orders are all about the anticipation and excitement, and — most importantly — showing support for the studios and games you love. So, if what you see and read in the previews appeals to you, we welcome your pre-order with open arms. However, if you need more time and would rather wait for reviews, do take your time and buy post-launch — you won’t miss out on any of the goodies,” Iwiński adds.

Thronebreaker suggested retail price is $29,99 (or €25,89) — the game is available for pre-order now. Details regarding the offer are available on the game’s newly launched official website — witchertales.com — which also houses additional information about the tale’s setting, characters, and gameplay. Pre-orders for PlayStation 4 in Europe will launch soon.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales comes with these digital goodies:

• Official Thronebreaker Soundtrack
• Digital version of GWENT: Art of The Witcher Card Game artbook from Dark Horse
• Concept art, including the map of Lyria
• The Witcher graphic novel “Fox Children” by Dark Horse
• 2 in-game GWENT: The Witcher Card Game Player Titles
• 2 in-game GWENT: The Witcher Card Game Player Avatars
• 5 premium kegs for GWENT: The Witcher Card Game

Pre-order Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

Today’s announcement is accompanied by a brand new teaser for the game.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales will release on PC via GOG.com on October 23rd, with a console release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 set for December 4th.

Facing an imminent Nilfgaardian invasion, Meve is forced to once again enter the warpath, and set out on a dark journey of destruction and revenge. Throughout the game, players will explore new and never-before-seen parts of The Witcher world, embark on thought-provoking quests featuring rich, multidimensional characters.

Award-Winning Turn-Based Roguelike RPG, Deep Sky Derelicts, Launches Following Successful Early Access Campaign

1C Entertainment Invites Players into a Dystopian Sci-Fi World to Experience Strategic Combat, Card Deck Building, and Spaceship Exploration

PRAGUE, September 26, 2018 – 1C Entertainment, a global PC and console games publisher, today announced that the award-winning roguelike RPG game of spaceship exploration, turn-based combat, and card collecting, Deep Sky Derelicts, has launched for PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam at $19.99 following its successful Early Access program. The original game can be seen in a new trailer launched today.

Deep Sky Derelicts features turn-based combat with a card system that makes every encounter strategically unique. The game’s retro sci-fi setting is enriched with roguelike elements, while the comic book-inspired art style creates a gritty world with a hand-drawn and inked feel. The launch build includes many new features including the legendary final “Mothership” derelict that completes Campaign mode, additional story features, overall polishing, Steam achievements, and more.

“Deep Sky Derelicts takes roguelike combat to a new level with the introduction of collectible card game elements and random draws that make every battle a unique experience,” said Nikolay Baryshnikov, VP of 1C Entertainment. “It’s a great addition to our 1C Entertainment portfolio, as Snowhound Games has created a fascinating retro-futuristic world that offers deep strategy and challenging surprises to keep players on their toes.”

Deep Sky Derelicts transports players to a grim dystopian future, where mankind has scattered across the galaxy and human society has split into two distinct classes. Players take on the role of a stateless outcast living off scraps from derelict alien stations and spaceships—while dreaming of discovering a fabled alien derelict ship that can provide a voucher for citizenship and a cozy life on a hospitable planet.

Players will build and control a squad of up to three mercenary characters and start exploring discovered derelict ships within reach of the scavenger base. As they search procedurally generated derelicts for loot and clues, players will encounter many friendly inhabitants and traders—but more often various adversaries. To survive, the player must defeat enemies in tactical turn-based fights where randomly-drawn cards offer an ever-changing arsenal of combat actions. As players proceed through Campaign mode, they’ll gain experience for their crew, find clues, and salvage loot from dead bodies before resupplying and upgrading once back at their base. The scavengers’ home station gives players the opportunity to heal and level-up mercenaries, recruit new allies, equip them, upgrade gear, and recharge energy reserves that power the squad’s suits during missions.

Game Features
·     Better Together: A compelling mix of turn-based RPG combat and card deck balancing
·     Comic Book Sci-Fi Worlds: Experience a dystopian world with a hand-drawn and inked feel
·     Every Battle Is Unique: Build the ultimate deck, but know that random card draws at the start of each battle will require fresh strategy to win
·     Search, Scan, Salvage, and Survive: Explore derelict stations and ships by scanning ahead, searching for loot, and using strategy to win tough battles
·     Build a Winning Team: Manage a squad of up to three mercenary allies with stat customization, ability tree-based upgrades, and upgradeable gear
·     Two Game Modes: Play through the story-based Campaign or jump into Arena battles
·     Updated Launch Features: New endgame story elements; overall polish and UI overhaul; Steam trading cards, badges, and achievements; updated audio; and final game balancing

Deep Sky Derelicts is developed by Snowhound Games and published by 1C Entertainment, and the title is rated PEGI 12 – Violence and Bad Language. The game is now available for PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam for $19.99.
