In a future watched over by the all-powerful lunar supercomputer, “Moon Cell Automaton,” these champions now battle for dominance over this digital realm, known as “SE.RA.PH.” This story takes place after the events described in Fate/EXTRA, and depicts the world as it appears following that previous Holy Grail War.

Players will experience the story of Fate/EXTELLA from the independent perspectives of the three factions wrestling for control over SE.RA.PH. and face off against foes from a variety of Fate productions in fast-paced combat, including characters from Fate/EXTRA, Fate/stay night, Fate/Zero, Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Grand Order. A new form change battle mechanic called Moon Crux debuts in this entry to match its series-first gameplay style, transforming the player-controlled Servants and granting them considerable powers that allow them to devastate enemies and take formidable challenges head-on. All versions of the game contain the original Japanese voices and English text, with the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC versions additionally featuring game text in Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), and Korean.

Fable Fortune has flown the coop and is out now on Xbox One and PC

Fable Fortune has flown the coop and is out now on Xbox One and PC

ALBION, 25th June 2017 – Co-developers Flaming Fowl Studios and Mediatonic are dead chuffed to announce today that Fable Fortune is out now on Xbox One and Windows 10 Game Preview (https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/p/fable-fortune-game-preview/9mswwjwrf4wc?rtc=1), and on Steam Early Access (http://store.steampowered.com/app/469830/Fable_Fortune/) for $14.99.

Fable Fortune takes pioneering card game mechanics and combines it with Fable’s most cherished moments. Choose from one of six Heroes each sporting diverse powers and cards, and set forth to crush your opponents under a hobbe-nailed boot in either classic PVP mode, or the fully integrated Co-op mode. Discover how the iconic Alignment mechanic can be used to shift heroes towards a good or evil path during play; transforming their powers, altering their card effects, and turning the tide of battle in one chicken-kicking hand.

“Fable Fortune has been real labour of love for the studio. We’ve built several card games and are huge fans of the genre. Our core goal with the design of Fable Fortune has been to create a game based around choice and consequence, with a deep level of strategy,” said Founder of Mediatonic, Paul Croft. “We’re entering Early Access / Game Preview because we’re keen to grow and evolve the game with the community’s input. We’re aiming to become one of the best games in the genre.”

Fable Fortune is a project that has been dealt a few bad hands, however having picked up the torch from Lionhead, Flaming Fowl and Mediatonic have worked closely to keep the magic of Fable alive with this fast-paced and fun collectable card game.

Featuring timeless heroes, despicable villains, armies of bemused (and conveniently expendable) peasants, and some good old fashioned, family-friendly necromancy, Fable fans will not be disappointed.

“It’s fantastic to hear players say they have “returned to Albion” when they play,” said Craig Oman, CEO of Flaming Fowl Studios. “Everything from the environments to the music to the characters, it just feels like home to us. This may not be an RPG but we feel like we have succeeded in making a true Fable game and we are really excited to see where we can take this during Early access and beyond.”

Fans can gain early access to Fable Fortune by picking up the Founder’s pack for £9.99 / $14.99 / 14,99€. Containing over $40 worth of in-game items including 20 packs of cards to open, the exclusive Flaming Fowl Trophy Card and the very rare (You might even say ‘Fabled’) Giant Egg card. There are plans to continue developing Fable Fortune for many years to come and to make it Free to Play later in 2017.

Purchasing the Founder’s Pack is the best way fans can support this development whilst also gaining some amazing rewards and the undying gratitude of the developers.

505 Games and Flat Earth Games announce partnership for space-trading game Objects in Space

Sydney, 25th July, 2017 – Today, 505 Games and Sydney-based indie developer Flat Earth Games announce a partnership to bring Objects in Space (PAX Australia Indie Showcase winner and alt.ctrl GDC finalist) to PC, Mac and Linux in 2018.

Objects in Space is a retro open-world stealth-action space game in which starships are modelled on Cold War era submarines rather than on WWII era dogfighters. Players take control of their own small ship and must traverse the tumultuous Apollo star cluster – a new home for humanity outside our solar system – a place alone in the universe, with no contact from Earth in almost fifty years.

Objects allows players who want to go beyond keyboard and mouse to build their own custom starship bridges at home using physical hardware. The team at Flat Earth Games have built a bridge to show players what can be done, and fans have already started building their own completely unique versions at home in anticipation of the game’s launch.

“This is an open world in which time is always passing and events unfolding,” said Leigh Harris, co-founder of Flat Earth Games. “NPC dialogue is never repeated, so if players are faced with a choice in a branching conversation, they can’t come back and change their minds later on. We’re really pushing the ‘open’ part of open world with this game. There is no hero’s journey or main quest line here, but a wealth of small stories the player can choose to engage with if they wish.”

“This game is all about customisability,” said Elissa Harris, co-founder of Flat Earth Games. “The playable ships, the in-depth engineering sections of the game, the home consoles players can build, the way people choose to play the game – it’s all designed for people who like to tinker, but works just as well for players wanting a more guided experience as well.”

“We’re very excited to be working with the highly creative team at Flat Earth,” said Tim Woodley, SVP Global Brand & Marketing from 505 Games. “Objects in Space struck us as an experimental title with a lot of promise and a commitment to looking at open worlds a little differently. We’re proud to be partnering with Flat Earth Games on this title.”
