KOEI TECMO SET TO RELEASE THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEMON-SLAYING ADVENTURE NIGHTS OF AZURE 2: BRIDE OF THE NEW MOON THIS WEEK

GUST Studio’s All-New Action-RPG Adventure Invites Players To Explore A Dark New World While Facing New Enemies, Meeting New Friends And Employing Familiar Allies

Hertfordshire, 24^th October 2017 – KOEI TECMO Europe is proud to announce this week’s launch of Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon. GUST Studio’s latest title is now available digitally for Windows PC via Steam®, and on the 27^th October 2017 both physically and digitally for the Nintendo Switch™ and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment systems. To celebrate, a gripping new trailer was released which introduces the dark fictional world, action-packed gameplay and deep narrative which players will experience at launch.

Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon takes place in the fictional demon infested and ruined city of Eurulm. The story focuses on a knight named Aluche and her two childhood friends–Liliana, a kind-hearted priestess, and Ruenheid, a holy knight of the Lourdes Order. While escorting Liliana, Aluche is ambushed and killed only to later awaken as a half-demon at the hands of the New Curia–a religious organisation with dark ties. Aluche must now save Liliana and continue her journey, meeting new characters with their own mysterious pasts. Sharing similar goals, she and the strange new allies set off to reveal the truth behind the shadows shrouding the world and become motivated to uncover the shocking truth behind the mysterious Queen of the Moon.

Assisting Aluche with her perilous quest, this unique bouquet of new allies includes her fellow companion, Ruenheid; the mysterious New Curian doctor, Camilla Alucard; Aluche’s role model and ex-Curian Knight, Muveil Folin Lou; a half-demon assassin named Veruschka; the chocolatier who fights to make the ultimate chocolate, Eleanor Ernest, and the powerful Nightlord, Arnice. Fighting alongside these Lilies sows the seeds of unlikely friendships–blossoming unbreakable bonds that awaken impressive latent abilities for all in the party.

Human companions are not the only allies in the war against the Moon Queen. Aluche is able to forge contracts with reliable, friendly, demons known as Servans. These Servans are classed into two categories: Strikers, who are used specifically for their strong attacks and ability to transform into weapons, and Trickers. They include her long-time friend, Nero; the electrifying mutt, Scharf; the fairy-like companion, Feuille; the Shikigami-wielding Kaede; the beautiful butterfly, Farfalla; the shadowy fiend, Hexer; and the dolphin-shaped Perle.

KOEI TECMO Europe also confirmed today that those who purchase the title digitally on the Nintendo Switch™, within 4 weeks from launch, will receive a selection of bonus DLCs including a set of extra servan; Special Servan ‘Puni’, Special Servan ‘Schnee’, Special Servan ‘Hinagiku’ and an all new costume for Aluche to wear on her quest, the Bonus Costume ‘Scarlet Stripes’.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Coming to Mobile Devices in Late November

Manage a Campsite in the First Mobile Animal Crossing Game

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The next time you go camping, make sure to bring all the essentials: a tent, a sleeping bag, s’mores and, of course, the Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp game. One of Nintendo’s most enduring franchises, Animal Crossing allows players to live a whimsical life as they interact with a wide range of other animal characters brimming with personality, decorate and expand their home, and learn more about the community they are part of. In the first Animal Crossing game for mobile devices, you can interact with animal friends, craft furniture items and gather resources while managing a campsite. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp launches on iOS- and Android-compatible mobile devices in late November.

“As our past mobile games have proved, we love taking established and well-loved franchises and transforming them for the ways players use their devices,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is great for newcomers to the series as well as longtime fans, and ideal for people playing on a mobile device.”

A recent video presentation highlighted many of the game-play features in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. To view the presentation in its entirety, visit https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/10-24-2017/.

Some of the highlights in the video include the following:

• Manage Your Manager: When you start a new game in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, you will be asked to create your personalized campsite manager avatar – your character in the game. You can choose to be a girl or a boy, and customize things like skin color, hair color and eye color. Whatever suits you!
• Arts & Crafts: By gathering resources like fruit and wood, you can craft items for your campsite. These include furniture and decorative items, like couches and benches, as well as baskets and plants. To craft items, just speak to classic Animal Crossing villager Cyrus to put in an order. After the item is finished, you can place it around your campsite or decorate the interior of your camper.
• Leaf Tickets: Leaf Tickets can be earned through regular gameplay or purchased using real-world money, and can be used in a variety of ways in the game. For example, they can be used to shorten the time needed to craft items, more easily acquire materials or acquire unique camper exterior designs.
• Friendship Level: In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, you can chat with your animal friends or fulfill their requests to raise your friendship level. If you level up your friendship or decorate your campsite with an animal’s favorite items, she or he might pay you a visit.
• BHFF (Best Human Friends Forever): Not all of your friends in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will have fur or feathers. You can send your in-game Player ID to real-life friends who also own the game to have them visit your campsite. Random player avatars will also visit the campsite from time to time. Once someone visits, you can exchange your Bells for items saved in the Market Box.
• Tick Tock: Similar to past Animal Crossing games, time passes in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp just like in real life! As morning, day, evening and night pass, the scenery in the game will change and different animal friends might show up.
• Area Map: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is full of places to visit and explore. In addition to your campsite, you can travel in your camper to a beach, a forest, a river and an island.
• Market Place: The go-to spot for shopaholics, Market Place is full of stores run by familiar Animal Crossing characters like Timmy, Tommy and the Able Sisters. The various shops in Market Place offer things like furniture and clothing items. The selection at each shop rotates, so don’t be a stranger!
• OK Motors: Remember that camper that was mentioned a few bullets back? It’s not used to just travel between locations in the game. By visiting the OK Motors store, you can acquire things to customize your camper, including furniture to fill the interior and paint to decorate the exterior. It’s like those tiny homes that are all the rage … but with wheels!
• Expanding Camp Life: In addition to all the fun things you can do in the game, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will eventually offer seasonal events to keep the experience fresh and surprising, as well as limited-time furniture and outfit options through game updates. These events and updates will begin rolling out after launch.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will launch for free on iOS and Android mobile devices in late November. For more information about the game, visit https://ac-pocketcamp.com.
