Spiders and Focus Home Interactive’s Next RPG is GreedFall

French developers Spiders has been hard at work since the launch of their last action RPG The Technomancer in 2016. Spiders is once again partnering with publisher Focus Home Interactive for their newest project GreedFall.

GreedFall is an RPG inspired by Baroque art from 17th century Europe. The game is set on a recently discovered island called Greedfall, where magic and amazing treasures are hidden away together. The invading colonists seek to claim the treasure but in their way are locals supported by the island’s supernatural creatures. The player finds themselves caught between violent clashes between the locals and the invaders, and it seems that only one group will survive.

GreedFall will share a similar gameplay style as Spiders’ previous RPGs. Players will have the freedom to solve problems with diplomacy, deception, stealth, or violence. They will meet a varied cast of characters, and the player’s choices will have rippling, long term effects on the story. GreedFall is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2018.

Burbank, CA – February 9, 2017 – Turner’s Cartoon Network has charted wins across platforms with Mighty Magiswords leading to a season two order of the hit comedy series and the launch of a new mobile game, Surely You Quest. Mighty Magiswords follows the adventures of Prohyas and Vambre, a sibling team of “Warriors for Hire” who embark on heroic quests using outrageously funny swords called Magiswords. The immersive MagiMobile app empowers fans to collect swords like the Warriors, and the newest mobile game further heightens the interactivity of the Mighty Magiswords world by allowing users to use their collections in active gameplay while also gathering and upgrading more Magiswords via the audio content recognition cues in Mighty Magiswords programming.

Mighty Magiswords is produced at Cartoon Network Studios and created by Kyle A. Carrozza (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water). Season two of Mighty Magiswords will find Prohyas and Vambre embarking on epic adventures and even more hilarious quests in pursuit of the latest and greatest Magiswords to add to their coveted collections.

Fans have shown they are hungry for more from the Mighty Magiswords world and Cartoon Network is ready to meet them wherever they are with Surely You Quest, an idle RPG coming to iTunes, Google Play and Amazon for free on Feb. 16. Surely You Quest connects to MagiMobile by giving fans access to their Magiswords and allowing them to expand their collections. Gamers can use the swords they previously earned in MagiMobile for gameplay in Surely You Quest, and the more fans watch and engage with MagiMobile, the more options they will have for battles in the game. Surely You Quest adds to a rich connected world of more than 400 pieces of original content including interactive shorts, narrative vlogs hosted by the Warriors, a multitude of digital games and MagiMobile.

The top-ranked series premiered in September 2016 as the number one animated series to launch in Q4 with kids 6 – 11 and all key boys, while also ranking as Cartoon Network’s top show in October. Following the November launch of MagiMobile, Mighty Magiswords has ranked as a Top 3 Cartoon Network original on VOD.

Fellow Survivors,

Beginning February 28th at North American retailers, and March 3rd at European retailers, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier will be available for purchase on a special Season Pass Disc for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The season pass disc includes the critically acclaimed two-part premiere episodes, and grants access to all subsequent episodes in the five episode season for download as they become available.

Trailer YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/y964ZY8BEbo

The two-part premiere of The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier launched to widespread critical acclaim. In their review of the premiere, IGN.com said that, “Smart characterization and writing for Javi and his family, plus the return of Clementine, add weight to a largely unfamiliar but already engaging new frontier that I can’t wait to continue to explore,” adding that its “uncharted territory feels familiar and, excitingly, fresh.” GamesRadar said that A New Frontier“demonstrates the resonant power of interactive storytelling,” and that it, “finds the right balance between rewarding longtime players who’ve shaped their own version of the story and welcoming those who might be hopping aboard this grim adventure for the first time.” Game Informer said the two-part premiere has, “shocking deaths, intense betrayals, and split-second decisions to second-guess,” claiming that “Everything leads up to a hell of a cliffhanger, making me intrigued to see what happens next.”

In further news, today we can also confirm that the much-anticipated Episode 3: ‘Above the Law’ is set to debut later next month. Look for more details on the episode in the coming weeks.

When family is all you have left… how far will you go to protect it? Years after society was ripped apart by undead hands, pockets of civilization emerge from the chaos. But at what cost? Can the living be trusted on this new frontier? As Javier, a young man determined to protect his family, you meet a young girl who has experienced her own unimaginable loss. Her name is Clementine, and your fates are bound together in a story where every choice you make could be your last.

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier acts as both a new beginning for players fresh to the series and unfamiliar with Clementine, as well as a continuation for players who have experienced Seasons One and Two. Players new to the series are able to start a story that is tailored to this new beginning. Players continuing onward from prior seasons have multiple options for quickly configuring their tailored backstory, or importing past save files from various platforms.

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier Episode One: ‘Ties That Bind’ Part I is rated ‘M’ (Mature) for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, and Use of Drugs by the ESRB. Episode Two: ‘Ties That Bind’ Part II is rated ‘M’ (Mature) for Violence, Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, and Strong Language by the ESRB.

Sci-fi Adventure Alone With You From Indie Developer Benjamin Rivers Inc. Rockets Onto Steam Today

Sci-fi Adventure Alone With You From Indie Developer Benjamin Rivers Inc. Rockets Onto Steam Today

Toronto and Seattle – February 9, 2017 – It’s time to define “alive” and forge relationships with artificial intelligence as sci-fi, narrative-driven adventure game Alone With You from Benjamin Rivers Inc., developer of indie horror hit Home, releases on PC and Mac via Steam today for $9.99 USD. At its core Alone With You takes a subtle, mature approach to relationships and couples it with narrative-driven, sci-fi adventure gameplay that varies upon a player’s daily actions and improvised conversations with the holographic simulations of deceased colonists of a remote planet. Available as either a bundle with the game’s soundtrack or as a standalone title, for the next week players can purchase Alone With You for a 15 percent discount.

Released last year on PlayStation®4 and PlayStation Vita to critical praise, Alone With You has players take on the role of the sole survivor of a doomed space colony, trying to discover the fates of more than two-dozen colonists and escape the lonely planet before it implodes. Accompanied by the colony’s troubled AI and holographic simulations of the deceased colonists, players reveal clues, solve puzzles and forge lasting relationships with self-aware artificial intelligence to uncover the secrets of their interwoven lives.

“Our goal with video games is to develop lasting experiences that create relationships between the player and the characters, as well as make people contemplate larger topics such as life,” said Benjamin Rivers, Founder of Benjamin Rivers Inc. “Thanks to strong narrative, Alone With You allows us to give this experience to players and the bonds they forge with the game’s artificial intelligence will challenge them to understand what it means to be alive. Do you need a physical presence or the power to be self-aware?”

Alone With You has players embark on daily missions, where they scan and explore each environment, revealing layers of narrative and driving the progress of the story. At the end of each day, players convene with one of four holographic companions for intimate one-on-one conversations, which can change depending on how thoroughly a player has completed that day’s mission. How the player responds as the holograms confide in them can affect later opportunities to unravel more of the game’s in-depth story, and conversations with the holograms themselves.
