OCEANHORN – MONSTER OF UNCHARTED SEAS COMES TO XBOX ONE AND PLAYSTATION®4
Critically Acclaimed Action-Adventure Delivers Captivating Story, Lush 3D Visuals, Musical Score from Legendary Composers Nobuo Uematsu and Kenji Ito
Munich – Sept. 7, 2016 – FDG Entertainment, a leading video game publisher based in Germany, today announced the North American and European release of Oceanhorn® – Monster of Uncharted Seas™ for the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system. Oceanhorn – Monster of Uncharted Seas is a classic fantasy action-adventure game featuring a rich and engrossing storyline, a multitude of lush land and sea environments, engrossing puzzles and challenging melee and spell-based combat. Oceanhorn – Monster of Uncharted Seas is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for $14.99.
Players will also have an opportunity to experience the work of music legends Nobuo Uematsu, considered by many the master of video game music composition, and Kenji Ito who have worked collaboratively to create the game’s stunning soundtrack. The Oceanhorn – Monster of the Uncharted Seas soundtrack represents Uematsu’s finest work in years and his first ever non-Japanese project.
“Oceanhorn was inspired by some of the great action-adventure titles of the past including, The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker™, but also delivers its own unique and compelling storyline, exciting combat, inventive puzzles and hour after hour of immersive adventure.” said Philipp Döschl, executive producer. “We think Xbox One and PlayStation 4 fans will love what Oceanhorn – Monster of the Uncharted Seas has in store for them.”
In Oceanhorn – Monster of the Uncharted Seas, the story is told through the eyes of a heroic young boy on a journey of self-exploration in search of his father and his connection to the mysterious sea monster, Oceanhorn. Players will set sail and discover hidden secrets, dangers, challenges and wonders of more than 10 exciting and unique islands. A melee and magic combat system must be used creatively to fight through dangers and deep dungeon battles while wits will be needed to solve challenging and entertaining puzzles to unearth key items and secret pathways.

New to the Civilization series and leading Norway is the last Great Viking King Harald Hardrada.
Norway’s eventual king wasn’t always close to the throne. Exiled from his native land in 1030 after supporting his half-brother Olaf’s failed campaign, Hardrada sought refuge in Kievan Rus and later, Constantinople. Being a highly skilled warrior, he climbed the ranks of the Varangian Guard, earning the nickname “Devastator of the Bulgarians” after quelling an uprising.
In 1042 he returned to Norway and skillfully maneuvered his way into joint kingship with Magnus I. After Magnus’ passing, the now sole ruler of Norway warred with Sweyn, King of Denmark, in 1048 until 1064 before settling peacefully. He then attempted to claim the throne of England, perishing during the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066.
Hardrada’s reign was marked by war, but also by great progress. Peace flourished as Norway was unified under a strong government, new currency, external trade, and religious advancement.

Koei Tecmo has released another new trailer for their upcoming Berserk game and this time around the focus is placed on the recently announced playable character Nosferatu Zodd. You can check out the brief gameplay video below and see his destructive move-set and powerful transformation ability.
Currently Berserk is set to be released in Japan for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita on October 27th and sometime in North America and Europe this fall where it will be available for the PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and PC though at the moment Koei Tecmo has not stated whether or not the Japanese Casca pre-order bonus will be included in the Western release.
Recently Compile Heart released the opening movie for Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter and now the developer has released a new trailer for their upcoming dungeon crawler that focuses entirely on introducing the fairy-tale based characters that are in the game, this includes Thumbelina, Rapunzel, Snow White, Alice and many others that are introduced with both their “Genocide” and “Black Skelter” modes shown off.
You can check out the three minute long video below and as for the game itself, Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter is currently set to be released in Japan on October 13th for the PS Vita.
Capcom has released the official introduction trailer for the newest addition to Street Fighter V‘s roster, Urien. You can check out the Japanese trailer below to see how powerful and destructive his fighting style appears to be. It is worth noting that although we have this introduction video that Capcom has not announced an official release date for Urien at the time of this writing, though we can likely expect to hear an announcement soon.
Similar to the past characters that have been released post-launch, Urien will be available for purchase in Street Fighter V using Fight Money earned through gameplay, simply by purchasing him with real money, or automatically unlocking him if you have purchased the season pass.
Last week it was announced that Koei Tecmo‘s Gust would be partnering with Toei Animation for a “major project” that would be revealed on September 16th but the company decided to at least reveal what it is ahead of time. The project is called Kakuchou Shoujokei Trinary, or Expansion Girl Style Trinary, and is a combination between a new anime that will be previewed on the 16th as well as a smartphone game. The company is trying to create an “anime cross link RPG” that is a “never before seen fusion of video game and anime” where the “reality” on the other side of the screen are girls that fight in special missions.
Not too much is known about the game/anime so far other than that it takes place in a Tokyo-like area of Japan where five heroines, shown above, must combat a strange situation that arises in the city though we will know more on the 16th when the anime is previewed and more details are likely revealed.
NIS America has announced that, due to a manufacturing delay, Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors will no longer be released on September 20th in North America and will now be released on October 11th. This delay does not affect the European release of the game which is still set to arrive on September 23rd.
It is worth noting that Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors is also not being released in Germany as the USK ratings board declined to rate the game, meaning it is not allowed to be sold or even advertised in the country with the Australian release also cancelled due to being denied a rating.
XSEED Games has released The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II in North America today and with to go along release of the game the company has released a number of new English screenshots as well as a launch trailer for the title and you can check it all out below. The screenshots show off the game’s camp menu and a bit of the game’s dialogue that focuses on various relationships that are built in the game.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II is currently set to be released in Europe on November 11th and while this game is a sequel, currently XSEED is selling the first game at a 50% discount through the PlayStation Network, bringing the price down to $19.99 through September 13th with DLC outfits for the first title also being given the same half off discount.
