GAMBITIOUS DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT TO PUBLISH MILANOIR, ITALO GAMES’ 1970s CRIME FILM ACTION GAME

Chase the truth and trust no one in a fast-paced and stylized experience on Windows PC later this year

AMSTERDAM and MILAN – June 8, 2017 – Gambitious Digital Entertainment has announced it will publish independent developer Italo Games’ Milanoir, a pixel-packed action game inspired by the masterpiece Italian crime movies of the 1970s. The title is expected to launch later this year on Windows PC.

Set in the violent underbelly of Milan, Milanoir is a story of greed, betrayal and revenge that plays off classic films like Caliber 9 and Almost Human. Sneak, choke and shoot through the seedy criminal underworld and survive breathtaking vehicle chases to evade and eliminate those standing between you and the man who framed you. Milanoir’s pixel art aesthetic paints the unforgiving city of Milan in bright and bloody detail with a funky ‘70s-style soundtrack to cement the tone of the era.

Milanoir will be playable at E3 later this month at Gambitious’ press area inside the Devolver Indie Picnic area across from the Los Angeles Convention Center’s main entrance.

Hence they decided to put everything else aside: they found an Italian investor, hired a great freelance pixel artist from Bari and started working tirelessly to make the Milanoir dream come true. Italo Games is a young team which aims to make games with a strong focus on aesthetics and narratives.

“Our goal is to bring fun, innovative games to players no matter what device they play on,” said Emily Greer president and co-founder of Kongregate. “I’m immensely proud of the strides we’ve made in the mobile game publishing space in just a few short years, as well as the work we’ve done with up and coming indie developers. We plan to continue that momentum in 2017 with five additional games slated to launch this year, including the next game in the AdVenture franchise, AdVenture Communist.”

Since launching the mobile division of Kongregate, they have worked with a diverse group of indie developers, including Peter Molyneux’ 22 Cans, Adventure Capitalist’s Hyper Hippo, and Synapse on five titles: Tyrant, Global Assault, Spellstone, Animation Throwdown, and a yet untitled project coming soon.

“Synapse has been working with Kongregate for more than 7 years now, beginning with web and now on mobile and Steam.” said Alex Reeve, CEO of Synapse Games.  “While Animation Throwdown was a joint partnership with Kongregate and Chinzilla Games, all of our first party titles for the past six years have been published by Kongregate.  We continue to work with the Kongregate team as we’ve come to appreciate their honesty, passion, and dedication to making our titles a success across multiple gaming platforms.
