Last year when Senran Kagura: Estival Versus was released for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita XSEED Games announced that they would try to bring the Ikki Tousen DLC crossover characters over to the West and it seems that they finally are able to.

XSEED GAMES REVEALS UPCOMING WINDOWS PC RELEASE OF SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS
First Home Console Release in the Buxom Beat-’em-up Series Sees Windows PC Version this Spring; Long-Awaited ‘Ikki Tousen’ DLC to Release Simultaneously for all Platforms
Torrance, Calif. — February 13, 2017 — XSEED Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS, the latest iteration and first home console release in its beloved busty brawler series, is headed to Windows PC via Steam®. Slated to release this March, the Windows PC version of ESTIVAL VERSUS will launch with the game’s long-awaited crossover DLC pack featuring characters from the Battle Vixens manga and anime series, also known outside of North America as Ikki Tousen.
Ikki Tousen characters Sun Ce, Lu Bu, and Guan Yu will finally become playable characters as premium DLC across all of the game’s platforms, which include the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system, and Windows PC versions. The addition of the three battle vixens is sure to spice things up near the one-year anniversary of the game’s console debut.
In SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS, a mystical phenomenon transports the nubile ninjas of the titular series to a parallel dimension to face off against their rivals in a new kind of battle. In this strange world – which resembles a sunny, sandy island paradise – the girls are thrown for another loop as they encounter departed loved ones and ultimately have to decide if they can bear to part from them a second time. The Windows PC version of ESTIVAL VERSUS follows successful Steam® releases of previous entries in the SENRAN KAGURA series, including SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI VERSUS and SENRAN KAGURABon Appétit! – Full Course.
With over twenty-five playable characters, making this the biggest roster in the series’ history, SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS boasts more moves, more story, more attitude, and more destruction online with matches that can support up to 10 players (Windows PC and PS4™ system versions only; “PSVita” system supports up to 4 players). All of the series’ previous Shinobi girls return with a host of upgraded moves to master, and new playable characters offer more challenges to conquer, along with a story that’s equal parts sexy and shocking, serious and scandalous, busty and bouncy.
The faithful adaptation to PC has been handled by the original developers at Marvelous Inc. and Tamsoft, with added Steamworks support including Steam Achievements, leaderboards, cloud saves, and trading cards. XSEED Games will be publishing SENRAN KAGURA ESTIVAL VERSUS on Windows PC via Steam® this March. The title is currently available as a limited “Endless Summer” physical release for the PS4™ and “PSVita” systems, while the digital release of the game is available on the PlayStation®Store. The Windows PC version of this title is not rated by the ESRB. The PS4™ and “PSVita” system versions have been rated “M for Mature.”
A new trailer for NieR: Automata has been released by Square Enix and Platinum Games and rather than give it a standard predictable title, they went with something a bit cryptic by calling it “Glory to Mankind 119450310.”
You can check out the video below where various story segments and bits of gameplay are shown off accompanied by some great music and as for the game itself, NieR: Automata is set to be released on the PlayStation 4, where a demo is currently available for download, in North America on March 7th and in Europe on March 10th with a PC release planned sometime this year.
Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios are continuing their slow reveal of characters for Injustice 2 and this latest one will please many fans who were hoping for some less mainstream characters to make the roster. The company has revealed through IGN that Swamp Thing will be part of the roster when the game is released and the creature joins Batman, Harley Quinn, Robin, Superman, Supergirl, Gorilla Grodd, Deadshot, Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Atrocitus, Flash, Wonder Woman, Black Canary, and the pre-order character Darkseid as currently confirmed characters for the game’s launch line-up.
You can Swamp Thing out in the gameplay video below and as for the game itself, Injustice 2 is currently set to be released on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on May 16th.
With Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns set to be released at the end of the month XSEED Games has released a new trailer that focuses on introducing the female marriage candidates that players will be able to woo and potentially marry when the game is released. This includes Lisette, Kasumi, Iluka, Siluka, and Komari.
The chatty Lisette loves a good read and runs the family’s flower shop in Westown taking special care into the meaning of each bouquet and selling seeds. Potential mates will be challenged by Kasumi who teaches in Tsuyukusa and is perfectly fine with solitude, even disliking sweets! Komari, also hails from Tsuyukusa but is not the serious type, often complaining about working at her dad’s teahouse, seeking a hobby. The identical twin priestesses Iluka and Siluka work at the seaside café, Carosello. Iluka, who can predict the weather, is curt and often scolds Siluka, who can see auras, for dozing off at work.
Curve Digital andTomas Sakalauskas to Bring Cult Hit Human: Fall Flat Onto PlayStation®4 and Xbox One This Spring
Surreal Slapstick-Style Physics Puzzle Game to Release on Console With New Content
[LONDON – February 13, 2017] This Spring, console gamers can experience a humorous, dreamlike world filled with physics-defying and rule-breaking hilarity with the upcoming launch of the unique puzzle game Human: Fall Flat from developer Tomas Sakalauskas and publisher Curve Digital.
In Human: Fall Flat, players escape surreal dreamscapes by solving open-ended puzzles while struggling with intentionally unsteady controls that result in hysterical clumsiness and potentially endless falling. The game will release onto PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with additional content, brand new puzzles and bespoke customization options. Those interested in a sneak peek of the new content can join Curve Digital at GDC in booth 1416, at PAX East in booth 22125 or at South by Southwest.
After releasing on Steam last year to considerable consumer praise, Human: Fall Flat became a YouTube phenomenon, garnering more than 70 million cumulative views thanks to the game’s hilarious gameplay that had people discover their own solutions to overcome obstacles – often there are many ways to reach each level’s exit.
Playing as Bob, players control his basic movements, but operate his arms independently, making it challenging to traverse this beautiful yet deadly world and interact with objects that can be used to solve the level. Bob can pull stuff. He can push stuff. He can kick stuff. He can carry stuff. He can climb stuff. He can break stuff. And he can use stuff on other stuff to make even more stuff happen, but these actions aren’t so easy with flopping arms. Players who learn to master Bob’s movement will unlock a wealth of opportunities to break the rules and beat the levels. For even more fun, players can work together as best they can to solve the puzzles in co-op mode.
“Millions of people have played or watched Human: Fall Flat and there is one thing that we can all agree upon – it’s just a really fun game,” said Tomas Sakalauskas, developer of Human: Fall Flat. “Whether you’re playing or watching, seeing Bob clumsily struggle with the most basic of physical movements makes for a side-splitting experience.”
For more information on Human: Fall Flat’s console versions, please visit the game’s website, or Curve Digital’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
Note: the additional content from the console versions will be rolled into the Steam version shortly after release.
