ADULT SWIM GAMES TO PUBLISH POOL PANIC, THE WORLD’S LEAST REALISTIC POOL SIMULATOR, THIS YEAR ON NINTENDO SWITCH™ AND WINDOWS PC

ATLANTAMarch 20, 2018 – Adult Swim Games has announced it will publish independent developer Rekim’s sprawling adventure game, Pool Panic, “soon” on Nintendo Switch™ and Windows PC.

Pool Panic is the world’s least realistic pool simulator. Play as a mischievous, and dare we say, oblivious cue ball in a giant game of pool that sprawls across a colorful cartoon overworld with more than 100 levels. Explore jungles, deserts, carnivals, cities and more while knocking around a peculiar cast of billiard balls, most of which won’t appreciate being pocketed.

A variety of evolving rule sets and mechanics force players to think strategically about how to line up the perfect shot through each stage, whether it’s solving puzzles or fighting bosses. Play through the entire journey on your own and challenge your friends to a ridiculous pool party in 2-4 player local multiplayer.

Other key sights and sounds include:

  • Ride a Ferris wheel!
  • Take down bosses and join a motorcycle gang chase!
  • Explore caves where even the bats are balls!
  • Play nine holes of mini-golf with a pool cue!
  • Flee the zombie horde! But careful, they’re contagious!
  • Knock off other balls for your own gain!
  • Go skiing and mountain climbing! With balls!
  • Hunt boy scouts in the woods! Steal their hats!
  • With over 100 tracks of music from Grandmaster Gareth!

“Wrocław is one of the biggest and most technologically advanced cities in Poland and a playing field for serious creative talent.

“We’re pretty hyped to be on the spearhead of this new office.” — says Paweł Zawodny, Head of Studio, CD PROJEKT RED Wrocław. “We know Wrocław inside out and it’s an amazing place to make games. The team is strong, and I’m sure we have both the experience and the creative firepower to make Cyberpunk 2077 an even better game.” — Zawodny adds.

“Aside from their immense technological knowledge and artistic flair, the core team of CD PROJEKT RED Wrocław are just great people.” — says Adam Badowski, Game Director for Cyberpunk 2077 and Head of CD PROJEKT RED. “CD PROJEKT RED is not a typical game developer — we put gamers, creative freedom and quality games above making business. These guys not only share this approach, but, much like the rest of the team, think that this attitude is essential to creating epic video games.” — Badowski adds.

Mark of the Ninja Remastered, Banner Saga 3 and LUMINES REMASTERED,
Among Many Other Nindie Highlights, Coming to Nintendo Switch

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– In a Nindies Showcase video released during this year’s Game Developers Conference, Nintendo featured more than a dozen independent games coming to Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch system in 2018. These “Nindies,” the term for independent developers making games for Nintendo systems, are creating unique experiences that fall into multiple genres – including stealth action games like Mark of the Ninja Remastered, tactical role-playing games like Banner Saga 3 and rhythmic “bullet hell” games like Just Shapes and Beats. And because of the unique features of Nintendo Switch, all of the independent games featured in the video can be played at home or on the go.

Originally released in 2012, this high-definition remaster of the critically acclaimed stealth action game is coming this fall. The game really makes players feel like a ninja, as they use silence, agility and wits to navigate beautifully designed 2D levels. (Graphic: Business Wire)

“Since the launch of Nintendo Switch, we’ve continued to be blown away with the amount of high-quality games coming from our passionate Nindie developers, and the positive fan reception for those experiences,” said Damon Baker, Nintendo of America’s Senior Manager for Publisher & Developer Relations. “This talented and ever-growing community of Nindies has found a home on Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch, and we absolutely welcome their inventive and visionary contributions.”

RULE THE SKIES WITH WARFRAME’S NEW ZEPHYR PRIME, AVAILABLE NOW

RULE THE SKIES WITH WARFRAME’S NEW ZEPHYR PRIME, AVAILABLE NOW

Independent Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes has uncaged Zephyr Prime, the Warframe® Prime Access version of the airborne avian of destruction, available today on Steam PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One. Concentrating on air attacks, mobility, and strategizing combat from a bird’s eye view, Zephyr Prime is a more powerful version of the standard Zephyr Warframe. Agile and graceful, the beautiful Zephyr is in her element while bending air currents, dash-gliding through the air, and bewildering enemies with stunning dive-bombs from above.

The Prime Access program introduces new Prime Warframes players can unlock instantly by purchasing a Prime Access Pack, or by earning and crafting for free in-game through the Relic system.

Arm yourself with Zephyr’s unique Prime weapons and slay enemies from above.

With Zephyr Prime Access, Tenno not only gain access to one of the more uncommon Warframes, Zephyr Prime, they also get access to:

  • Zephyr Prime Glyphs: Players can strut their stuff with all-new Glyphs!
  • Tiberon Prime Rifle: Art meets ingenuity with this beautifully deadly rifle.
  • Kronen Prime: Ancient blades, perfected for today’s combat.
  • Zephyr Prime Accessories:
    • Commodore Prime Suit: Players can take command with this regal Operator Suit.
    • Tibor Prime Armor: Direct your pet Kavat to strike fear into enemies with this striking golden armor.
    • Tibor Prime Gene-Masking Kit: Complement your Kavat’s Tibor Armor with an elegant Primed Gene-Mask.
    • BONUS: Kavat Incubator Segment and Kavat Starter Kit.

Zephyr wields four powerful Abilities, some of which were upgraded during the February re-balance updates. Those include: Tailwind, an airborne hover dash that can transform into a dive bomb. Tail Wind now costs half as much energy when cast in the air while doing more damage, and each enemy hit increases Tail Wind damage by 25% (damage resets upon landing). Dive Bomb also now fires on slight angles, as long as players are looking mostly down; Airburst, a massively dense burst of air that explodes on contact, sending enemies flying (and can combine with Tornado for extra effects); Turbulence, which creates a wind shield that deflects enemy projectiles; and Tornado, which Zephyr casts to create a barrage of deadly wind tunnels, sucking enemies in and leaving them defenseless.

SKY NOON PRESENTS THE AIR POWERED ARSENAL OF THE REIMAGINED WILD WEST

SKY NOON PRESENTS THE AIR POWERED ARSENAL OF THE REIMAGINED WILD WEST

Saddle Up for the Closed Beta This April and Join the Official Discord Channel Launching Today

Independent game developer Lunar Rooster and indie games partner Reverb Triple XP have released today an all new trailer for their reimagined western Sky Noon that showcases all of the various weapons and tools that are at player’s disposal. From the huge AOE blast of the “Jail Breaker” Hand Cannon, to the automatic fire of the “Road Runner” Machine Pistol, there’s a weapon for every player’s style in Sky Noon. But remember pardner – in this first person action brawler, these guns aren’t equipped with bullets! They all hold powerful rounds of compressed air bursts perfectly suitable for blasting opponents off the floating islands!

Gamers ready to cowboy up into Sky Noon are in luck! Reverb Triple XP will be taking sign-ups to a special Closed Beta that will take place this April. Please sign-up HERE to take part in the Sky Noon Closed Beta and stay tuned for more details on the official Sky Noon Discord channel.

Wooah Nelly, that’s right! The Official Sky Noon Discord Channel also launches today and gamers should join the Sky Noon posse for future news on the game, social events, and giveaway promotions: discord.gg/skynoon

Some of the rip-roaring weapons and tools featured in Sky Noon:

  • Machine Pistol aka Road Runner: Target other players with endless bursts of air as the Machine Pistol is fully equipped to handle a large quantity of air rounds.
  • Shotgun aka Typhoon: The range of the Shotgun may be short, but with a wide spread shooting capacity, players will be able to efficiently take down their opponents.
  • Revolver aka Ol’ Faithful: For the player who has dreamed of being a western sharp shooter ala John Wayne, the Revolver is the perfect weapon to pick off your enemies with precision.
  • Hand Cannon aka Jail Breaker: The Hand Cannon is the gun for players who want to send their opponents blasting off into the clouds with a powerful BOOM!
  • Grappling Hook aka…The Lifeline: Players can use the grappling hook to latch onto buildings, crates, or the floating islands themselves to save themselves from being eliminated!

Sky Noon takes place in a reinvented Wild West universe where the frontier floats among the clouds. Powerful cartels crave to control the most precious resource in the West: water. Players take the role of hired gunslingers that battle opposing fighters across floating islands in the sky. There are no health meters in Sky Noon; instead, to eliminate enemies, players use various super-power compressed air weapons to send them flying out of their boot spurs! Grappling hooks and lassos must constantly be used to prevent players from falling off into the great blue sky. Combined with other items like steam-powered jetpacks, jump pads, and teleporters, cowboys need to be quick on the draw and light on their boots in the fast-paced, aerial mayhem of Sky Noon.

Sky Noon will be launching on Steam Early Access in Q2 2018. Cowboys looking to join the gang should follow the game development on Twitter, “Like” us on Facebook, connect on Discord, and visit the official site, SkyNoonGame.com.

PIRATES SAIL INTO THE SUNSET AS 13-YEAR RUNESCAPE QUESTLINE CONCLUDES

Pieces of Hate’ brings the pirates’ story to a close, while the introduction of deep-sea fishing casts a hook for players looking to net their ‘99’ Fishing skill.

Tuesday 20th March 2018, Cambridge, UK – RuneScape returns to the high seas today, launching Pieces of Hate, the epic finale to one of the MMORPG’s longest running stories. The concluding voyage of the 13-year old pirate quest series challenges players as they dive into the depths of underwater expeditions, conquer sea monsters, and battle zombie pirates, and is released just two weeks after RuneScape introduced deep-sea fishing into the game for the first time.

In addition to tying up the loose ends of the pirates’ tale, Pieces of Hate contributes to the foundations of RuneScape’s next five years of rich narratives and immersive adventures. The new quest invites skilled players to plunder its riches, including an upgrade to the Book o’Piracy, which allows players to teleport across various locations throughout Gielinor and can be recharged using rum (of course!).

RuneScape has also made sure players have a whale of a time with the launch of deep-sea fishing, an all-new offshore hub to the game. Available to adventurers with at least level 68 Fishing, players can cast their nets and catch a whole variety of surprises, from jellyfish to great whites, and reel in that fishing XP to gain extra rewards. Only the bravest of buccaneers who dare travel farther out to sea will bag the most valuable loot, but they will also face the greatest dangers.

Dave Osborne, Lead Designer, RuneScape, said:

“It’s really astonishing to have reached the end of the pirates’ tale after 13 years, so we’re thrilled that our players can experience the concluding events in Pieces of Hate. The team has worked hard to deliver an exciting end to the story, especially to those waiting since 2005, and we can’t wait to build on it as part of our narrative arcs for the next five years. The recent launch of deep-sea fishing has already enticed the greatest fishers from across Gielinor to experience the new activity hub; it’s a great way to level up the skill and it’s so rewarding to see our players agree!”

Players will experience the newly improved Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, offering advanced freedom of movement and targeting precision to counter enhanced Titan movements. They will go flying into battle against devastating titanic foes, and mastering this equipment is key to ensuring survival. Among the new features detailed are A.O.T. 2’s Buddy Actions; which are support options team members can offer to one another. Options include Rescue, Recovery, and Titan Transformation; the latter of which offers a team member the potential to unlock the power of Titans. With Titans displaying newly enhanced movements, Scouts will have to strategically use an arsenal of new abilities in order to survive; from evade-style attacks, like the hook drive ability, to long-rage sneak attacks – carefully strategised with the help of the new monocular tool.

In A.O.T. 2, players can enjoy one of the newly introduced online modes – Annihilation Mode; a gripping 4v4 mode where Scouts have to compete for the highest score through defeating Titans and capturing bases. Fight against each other to claim the highest score and ascend to the top of the leader boards. In Story Co-op players can call upon their friends to aid them as they complete the main storyline’s gripping narrative. This is just the beginning as a captivating new online mode featuring playable Titans will be made available after launch.
