Based on units, Destiny 2 has outsold Destiny, hailed as the “biggest new video game IP launch in history” at the time. The highly-acclaimed sequel is the first Activision title launched on Battle.net, and is the biggest PC launch in Activision Publishing history. The game has earned more than 90 awards and nominations to date. Activision and Bungie also released the Destiny 2 Ghost Skill for Amazon Alexa, a first of its kind for games, allowing players to ask Alexa and Ghost to perform in-game tasks.

In 2017, Activision also released Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, a remastered collection featuring one of the most iconic and famed personalities in video game history. Released in June and developed by Vicarious Visions, the remaster quickly became a fan favourite with gamers on its way to being the No. 1 top selling remastered collection in PS4 history.  The title has continued to remain among the top 10 selling PS4 titles in the US for the year, so far, in units.

MOVE OR DIE BRINGS HOLIDAY FRIENDSHIP-RUINING SPIRIT WITH THE GIANT ‘GREEN AND GOLD’ UPDATE COMING DECEMBER 21

A Sleighful of Awesome New Characters, Game Modes, and the Debut of the “Not-A-Store” Item System – No Stinking Loot Boxes Here!

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA – DECEMBER 14, 2017 – The furious minds of Those Awesome Guys announced that their holiday content update for Move or Die – the ‘Green & Gold Update’ – will be available on December 21. Featuring a plethora of wonderful, friendship-destroying, holiday cheer, the ‘Green & Gold Update’ introduces the brand new “Not-A-Store” Item System that completely reinvents how new characters, game modes, Mutators, and other new features are unlocked. And as expected with major updates, the ‘Green & Gold Update’ contains a huge collection of new insane characters, game modes, Mutators, as well as new ways to customize your character, never before seen in Move or Die.

“The Green & Gold Update is by far our largest content update since Move Or Die was released and one where I wanted to send a loud and clear message – microtransactions SUCK,” eloquently states Nicolae Berbece, founder and lead developer for Those Awesome Guys. “For every Move or Die update that we’ve launched, it’s always been free. Game updates should be free and that’s something I’m confident to say we all agree on (you know, except big AAA studio executives).”

Move Or Die demonstrates how deadly Tetris can be with the new Tetrominos Game Mode.

Move or Die is not just the title of the game, but a fundamental gameplay rule: gamers who fail to move will see their health bar diminish rapidly. Players will battle each other in an ever-growing list of mini-game modes that change every 20-30 seconds. Each challenge has its own outrageous level design and rule set to promote hours of laughter and good old friendship-destroying fun. Win battles and unlock insane new character skins, Mutator game modifiers that dramatically change how mini-games are played, and even crazier game modes. When gamers are done beating friends on the couch, jump online and challenge other players to see who will rage-quit first.
