UBISOFT UNVEILS ASSASSIN’S CREED® ROGUE REMASTERED, HITTING SHELVES MARCH 20

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — January 12, 2018 — Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed® Rogue Remastered will be available on March 20, 2018, for PlayStation®4 Pro and Playstation®4 computer entertainment systems, and across the Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One X. Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered will include all of the downloadable content from the original game: two bonus missions (The Armor of Sir Gunn Quest and The Siege of Fort de Sable), as well as the Master Templar and Explorer packs, which contain weapons, customization items and special outfits, including Bayek’s legacy outfit from Assassin’s Creed® Origins.

Created by Ubisoft Sofia, the studio that developed the original Assassin’s Creed Rogue, this remaster further enriches the franchise’s current-gen catalogue and will shine in 4K on PlayStation®4 Pro and Xbox One X (and run 1080p on PS4™ and Xbox One). Thanks to higher resolution, improved environment rendering, visual effects and textures, Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered  will offer an even more beautiful and immersive gaming experience that invites fans of the series and new players alike to discover or rediscover Shay’s adventures in 18th-century North America.

Initially launched on PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360 in 2014, Assassin’s Creed Rogue tells the unique story of Shay Patrick Cormac, a fearless young member of the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood who undergoes a dark and slow transformation from an Assassin to a grim and committed Templar who hunts down his former brothers. Players’ journeys will take them from beautiful New York City to the Wild River Valley and icy cold waters of the North Atlantic.

Assassin’s Creed is an action-adventure series set in fully realized open worlds, throughout notable times in history such as the Third Crusade, the Golden Age of Pirates and the Industrial Revolution. Initially launched in 2007, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has since transcended video games to offer new and immersive experiences in comic books, mobile games, novels and even movies. Recognized for having some of the richest, most engrossing storytelling in the industry, Assassin’s Creed games have sold more than 105 million units worldwide, and the franchise is now established as one of the best-selling series ever.

GOOD SHEPHERD ENTERTAINMENT AND VILE MONARCH ANNOUNCE JAN. 18 RELEASE DATE FOR OH…SIR!! THE INSULT SIMULATOR AND OH…SIR! THE HOLLYWOOD ROAST ON NINTENDO SWITCH™

GOOD SHEPHERD ENTERTAINMENT AND VILE MONARCH ANNOUNCE JAN. 18 RELEASE DATE FOR OH…SIR!! THE INSULT SIMULATOR AND OH…SIR! THE HOLLYWOOD ROAST ON NINTENDO SWITCH™

AMSTERDAM – Jan. 11, 2018 – Good Shepherd Entertainment has revealed it will release independent developer Vile Monarch’s impudent pair of insult dueling games, Oh…Sir!! The Insult Simulator and Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast, on Nintendo Switch™ next week. Oh…Sir!! The Insult Simulator will be available for $1.99 and Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast will be available for $2.99 via the Nintendo eShop on Jan. 18, 2018.

The original competitive roasting game, Oh…Sir!! The Insult Simulator’s comically contentious battle system lets players create quick-witted combos of disrespective dialogue to hurl at adversaries in one-on-one arguments. There are multiple cantankerous characters to choose from, each with their own voices and quirks.

As the spinoff that no one asked for, Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast takes the torment to Tinseltown with a new cast of focus group-tested characters and features, as well as twice the vindictive vocabulary of its predecessor. An expanded career mode delivers new situations inspired by classic movie icons, while a revamped scoring system and new charged comeback mechanic make battles more dynamic than ever.

Both titles support single-player and online and local multiplayer gameplay. For more information, follow Good Shepherd Entertainment and Vile Monarch on Twitter @GoodShepherdEnt and @VileMonarch, respectively.

A Launch Date is Served! Zwei: The Arges Adventure to Release for PC on January 24

A Launch Date is Served! Zwei: The Arges Adventure to Release for PC on January 24

XSEED Games Kicks off the New Year with Nihon Falcom’s Original Entry in the Quirky and Unique Zwei Series

Torrance, Calif. — January 11, 2018 — XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that Zwei: The Arges Adventure, the original entry in the Zwei series from acclaimed developer Nihon Falcom and stand-alone predecessor to Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection, will launch for Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and The Humble Store by Humble Bundle on Wednesday, January 24. To celebrate this launch, the title will receive a limited-time 10% launch discount from its regular selling price of $19.99/€19.99/£14.99.

Originally released as Zwei!! in Japan, Zwei: The Arges Adventure stands as the most feature-complete version of the game to date, reintegrating a heaping helping of PC-exclusive features that were lost in the Japanese console versions including an Ys-themed typing tutor mini-game, a challenging block puzzler mini-game, and the “Pet Monitor” virtual pet system, along with a wide variety of unlockables plus some all-new content. Come set out on an adventure later this month with a whole continent’s worth of quirky and cute anime-style characters who frequently find themselves in comedically over-the-top situations, exploring every inch of the painterly 2D land of Arges along the way!

About Zwei: The Arges Adventure

Set on the mysterious time-forgotten floating continent of Arges, Zwei: The Arges Adventure follows the exploits of socially awkward teenage step-siblings Pokkle and Pipiro as they find their monotonous, ho-hum village life rudely interrupted by a mysterious figure who steals six holy idols from the local shrine. Pokkle, a master craftsman of terrible puns and wannabe hero, and Pipiro, a sarcastic mage-in-training with an obsession for fashion and a penchant for speaking her mind no matter how bad an idea that may be, jump at the chance to track down the masked thief and return the idols to their village – Pokkle for the fame, glory, and opportunities to make more puns, and Pipiro purely for the hefty reward on offer. Their adventures will take them to every corner of the continent, leading them to encounter a wide array of over-the-top friends and foes as they uncover a far more sinister plot to revive an ancient “Demon Lord” and get a very up close and personal lesson on nearly 500 years’ worth of Arges history.

Originally developed and released in Japan by Nihon Falcom on PC and PlayStation Portable, and ported to the PlayStation 2 in Japan by Taito, Zwei: The Arges Adventure is the direct predecessor to Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection and will be the first time this title has been made officially available in the West. Boasting a gorgeous hand-drawn 2D world populated by a diverse cast of allies and enemies who are constantly on the move, Zwei: The Arges Adventure also represents one of the formative examples of Nihon Falcom’s now-signature multi-character action RPG combat, enhanced here with smoother and more intuitive gamepad support and a bevy of other optimizations for modern PC systems. This title also features the series’ unique food-based leveling system, giving players more direct control over the game’s difficulty by allowing them to choose how quickly their characters grow in power: will they save food for later so they can exchange it for better food and more level-ups, gorge early on for a more metered experience gain, or fast altogether for a truly hardcore challenge?

Zwei: The Arges Adventure is developed by Nihon Falcom and will be published worldwide for Windows PC by XSEED Games via Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store by Humble Bundle on January 24 with a 10% launch week discount from its regular selling price of $19.99/€19.99/£14.99. More information about Zwei: The Arges Adventure will be revealed soon via the newly launched Zwei series portal site at http://www.worldofzwei.com. The Windows PC version of Zwei: The Arges Adventure is not rated by the ESRB.

The update adds two new iconic characters: X-23, a product of the Weapon X program cloned from Wolverine’s DNA, and Adam Warlock, cosmic super-being and protector of the universe. Also included in this update are three new uniforms for Punisher, Satana and Falcon, inspired by their new costumes from the recent “Marvel Legacy” comic book event.

The update also introduces a brand-new event stage where players can receive the new character, X-23. This event stage will allow players to experience the new timeline battle mode that can be played with a designated hero or uniform.

Additionally, players can now check their heroes’ growth rate and information, and an improved refresh function will allow players to immediately see newly-created dimension rifts from other players.

The details of the new characters joining MARVEL Future Fight are below:

  • X-23 – Cloned from Wolverine’s DNA, X-23 is a product of Weapon X, a top-secret genetic research experiment. Though she was created and trained to be a deadly weapon, she broke free and joined the X-Men instead to forge her own identity and use her abilities for good.
  • Adam Warlock – Genetically engineered to be the ultimate human, the artificial being known as Adam Warlock abandoned Earth to search for meaning among the stars. A wandering sage, the cosmically powered Warlock specializes in metaphysical and interstellar conflicts.

DUSK EXPLODES INTO EARLY ACCESS WITH TWO PLAYABLE EPISODES + MULTIPLAYER

DUSK EXPLODES INTO EARLY ACCESS WITH TWO PLAYABLE EPISODES + MULTIPLAYER

DUSK set to go live at 12:01 am Eastern Time for $20

BACKWATER, USA – Nuevo label New Blood Interactive announced today that DUSK, its Quake-inspired retro FPS developed by David Szymanski and featuring a soundtrack by metal mastermind Andrew Hulshult (IDKFA, Rise of the Triad), will go live on Steam Early Access tonight January 10th at 9:01 pm PT/January 11th at 12:01 am ET for a short period of time before the game’s full official launch in the coming months (http://store.steampowered.com/app/519860/DUSK/.)

Players who pre-ordered the game before Christmas of last year will receive the Digital Collector’s Edition of DUSK for free which includes the DUSK 40-page digital comic and aforementioned metal af soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult.

The gleefully violent Early Access release of DUSK includes Episode 1, which has received fan praise and media acclaim for its quick action and unapologetic homages to the mid-nineties FPS genre, and introduces Episode 2 for the first time. In addition to the campaign episodes and endless survival mode, the Early Access release also now includes the open beta run of DUSKWorld, the multiplayer component of DUSK – so you can shoot your friends in the face with double barreled shotguns.

New Blood assures fans that the game will not linger in Early Access any longer than it has to, and have a complete, lengthy and semi-entertaining FAQ here for any players with questions or concerns: http://steamcommunity.com/games/519860/announcements/detail/1587947907202018531

DUSK transports players into and underneath the creepy backwoods of the American Northeast where you wake up hanging on a meat hook and must escape using any means necessary (dual sickles in this case).  In this Quake-meets-Cabin-In-The-Woods retro FPS , you’ll encounter an onslaught of mystical backwater cultists, possessed militants and even darker forces as you attempt to discover just what lurks beneath the Earth as things get deeper and darker.

Still to come in Early Access over the coming weeks is Episode 3, Endless Arena 3, achievements, trading cards, leaderboards and more.

New Blood has also laid out plans for the game’s post-launch, which includes The DAWN SDK, Steam Workshop support, co-op, plus Mac and Linux versions of the game.

And probably other stuff too.  Even a big box physical collector’s edition. Nice.
