N1RV ANN-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action Gets Lost in Paradise on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PC in 2020
CARACAS, Venezuela – 19 Sept. 2018 – Sukeban Games, the developers of VA-11 HALL-A – the acclaimed booze ‘em up about waifus, technology and post-dystopia life with more than 200,000 copies sold – will serve up more drinks in 2020 with its sequel, N1RV ANN-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action to be published by Ysbryd Games.
Escape from VA11 HALL-A’s Glitch City to Saint Alicia, an idyllic paradise with an upscale bar called N1RV ANN-A. But opulence and extravagance are merely smokescreens: the artificial island hides a seedy underbelly. Its dystopian economy touches all aspects of life as bar patrons contend with mafia extortion, trafficking and other sordid crimes. For bartender Sam, trouble hits close to home. Her relationship with her partner Leon, who moonlights as a Yakuza, is on the rocks, and she works hard to care for their 8-year-old son, Tony.
In N1RV ANN-A’s cyberpunk world, people stop at nothing to live luxuriously, even when it means augmenting their bodies to conform to extreme fads. Become acquainted with customers who frequent the bar, including erotic comic creator Parka and Sam’s gun-toting boss Iris, and serve up delicious real-life recipes with ingredients like vodka and tropical juices. Drink orders are as volatile as emotions in N1RV ANN-A – experiment with different drinks and see what happens!
Explore various story outcomes based on which drinks are served and whose lives are changed. Players can replay missions to improve their scores, explore branching dialogue options and unlock secret missions. Earn better tips by relating to customers through their drinks, and spend hard-earned cash on bills, decorations and Sam’s son, Tony. Will Sam be able to move on and put misdeeds behind her as she embarks on this new cyberpunk bartending adventure?
“Most games use a big-picture perspective, but what made VA11 HALL-A special was its focus on the characters and their problems,” said Christopher “Kiririn51” Ortiz, co-founder, Sukeban Games. “It’s about getting to know people on a personal level, this time with a shiny new location, more options for drink orders, and more ways to relate to customers.”
N1RV ANN-A will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Steam for PC in English and Chinese in 2020.

Investigate the Supernatural in Apparition on PC this Halloween
WARSAW, Poland – 19 Sept., 2018 –Apparition, the first-person survival horror game from Fat Dog Games and MrCiastku where players must capture evidence of the paranormal, brings haunting visages and terrifying demons to PC just in time for Halloween this 31 Oct., 2018.
Survive the night in a dangerous game of greed vs. risk as a veteran paranormal investigator seeking to discover what hellish secrets are hidden away in Green Creek. Apparition pits players against themselves by giving them the option to return to their car at any time and leave with their evidence for the night or chance it all by continuing to explore for additional points and upgrade materials.
Communicate with ghosts through the Ouija Board and record chilling audio and video. Stumble into frightening new scenarios while minding your sanity. Craft useful tools to trap, evade and outsmart evil spirits. But exercise caution; prying too deeply into the mysteries of the forest means risking unforgiving encounters with demons that cannot be killed. Getting caught means it’s all over.
Climb Apparition’s leaderboards and exchange earned points to improve cameras, audio recorders, and motion sensing tech in a precarious venture to become the best paranormal investigator.
Grow comfortable with the dead silence of the night, as Apparition provides no comforting background tunes. Listen for distant footsteps and ghostly howls in the haunted forest, as these are often the only warnings of what’s to come. If the horrors that lurk in the trees can be clearly seen, it’s too late.
“Apparition is a chilling experience inspired by every spooky story and boogeyman we’ve grown up with,” said Darek Skrzypkowski, CEO, Fat Dog Games. “Its ability to frighten reminds me of why the internet age has provided us with a renaissance for horror fans and proves why games are an amazing medium for horror.”
Apparition will be available on Windows via Steam for $14.99 USD and supports English.
About Fat Dog Games Fat Dog Games is a Polish publisher dedicated to bringing the highest quality games to players and streamlining the publishing process for indie developers, giving them the opportunity and resources to focus full time on the development of their projects.
About MrCiastku MrCiastuku has been a passionate game developer with a knack for horror since 2013. He’s a one-man show working on Apparition, after releasing Shadows 2: Perfidia last year.

DEFY YOUR LIMITS AND HARNESS MYSTICAL POWERS IN WARRIORS OROCHI 4
Fight Alongside Your Allies, Strengthen Your Bonds, and Uncover The Mystery Of A New World!
Hertfordshire, 18th September 2018 – KOEI TECMO Europe revealed further details today of the new Deification feature in Warriors Orochi 4, alongside a deeper look into the magic and support features which players can use to gain the upper-hand in battle.
The re-assembled heroes from across the DYNASTY and SAMURAI Warriors universes are faced with yet another battle; the god of gods, Zeus, has meddled with the human realm to create his own parallel world. The heroes learn that to solve this mysterious situation and return back home they must find eight Ouroboros Bracelets, but some individuals discover that these bracelets possess great power and decide to use them to their own advantage. This gripping new feature, Deification, grants the power of the gods to those who wield the bracelet. Taking on a powerful new form, those characters that perform Deification are not only able to use an unlimited amount of magic in battle but also cast unique physical and magical attacks.
In addition, all of the 170 playable characters in Warriors Orochi 4 are able to harness Sacred Treasures, enabling the heroes to perform both close-range and long-range magic attacks in battle. Combining these attacks with other party members, overcoming battles, aiding allies, and training together increases the relationships between characters and offers various benefits. Strengthening the Bonds between characters enhances their abilities when they work together and unlocks events between them – uncovering more details about them and their true motives in this parallel world.
To showcase the newly introduced features, KOEI TECMO Europe released a fresh asset batch containing an action-packed gameplay trailer, alongside images of characters in their Deification forms. Furthermore, a tease of the online functionality, which will be available at launch, was revealed – more details will be available in the coming weeks.
Fans are still able to pre-order Warriors Orochi 4 and obtain various bonus items for doing so. Those who pre-order the physical version, from independent retailers through Centresoft, will receive alternative costumes for Xu Shu, Mitsunari Ishida, Da Ji, Wang Yuanji, Wang Yi, Lady Hayakawa, Xingcai, Guo Jia, Takatora Todo, and Yoshitsugu Otani.

Silver Dollar Games Announces One Finger Death Punch 2
Sequel to world’s fastest brawler coming on Steam and consoles Spring 2019
Toronto – September 18, 2018 – Are you ready to face impossible odds? Today, Silver Dollar Games officially announced One Finger Death Punch 2 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. One Finger Death Punch 2 (OFDP2) is a faithful follow-up to 2013’s original cult favorite indie PC brawler and promises to deliver double the punching with the exact same number of fingers. The hotly-anticipated kung fu fighter is expected to be released in spring 2019.
You are surrounded and outnumbered and have to use any weapon you can get your hands on to dismantle your opponents in a flurry of kung fu. That is the essence of OFDP2, which purports to be the world’s fastest kung fu brawler, and features the original OFDP’s unique two-button mechanics. Speed and precision are key in this whirlwind fighting frenzy, as players maintain control over the 26 different unlockable skills, frenetic gameplay, and classic kung fu-inspired animations.
“We wanted to show that a fighting game can be complex without cumbersome button combinations,” said Silver Dollar Games’ Jon Flook. “Simple design doesn’t mean a simple game. Once players complete the tutorial levels and learn the basics, they’ll see that this is the most intense two-button game ever made.”
If they hope to succeed, players must seamlessly switch between weapons without pausing in the frenetic action. With 700 different animations available, literally anything is possible—particularly when players unlock each of the 26 available skills. “Having these skills available simultaneously is a major design challenge that encompasses the core of what OFDP2 is trying to achieve,” said Flook. “Seeing the game with all 26 skills is a spectacle unique to OFDP2. This evolution is like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, and only those who make it to the endgame will see this beautiful transition.”
