Beautifully Illustrated Puzzle-Platformer, Hue, Emerges Today with Flying Colors from Curve Digital

Synthesizing Style, Substance and Story, the Award-Winning, Color-Shifting Indie Game Aims to Brighten the Worlds of Players on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam

LONDON – August 30, 2016 – Color me out now! Established indie game publisher Curve Digital today announced that the charming and vivid puzzle-platformer from developer Fiddlesticks, Hue, is now available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and via Steam for Windows PC, Mac and Linux. With a simple color-matching mechanic as its palette, Hue seamlessly blends a vibrant art style with clever level design and a touching narrative to paint a platforming adventure as refreshing as it is colorful. Those who purchase the PlayStation 4 version will receive a copy on PlayStation Vita at no charge via cross-buy when it releases this September.

A launch trailer is available today, which shows off the game’s stunning illustration and demonstrates the color-shifting gameplay of Hue in action: https://youtu.be/p7m5aElXnUc

Although everyone whom the titular lead character Hue encounters sees only in greyscale, the world of Hue is far from black and white. On a journey to solve his mother’s disappearance, Hue begins to piece together her discarded research, ultimately discovering the ability to see the world’s hidden color and change it to alter reality. As the background shifts between shades, rifts form, and obstacles slip between pigmented dimensions.

As Hue uncovers new details involving his mother, he’s able to manipulate the game world in increasingly sophisticated ways. By transforming the background color of the world, Hue can manipulate objects, unlock new areas and interact with new aspects of the environment. Along the way, Hue will meet a diverse cast of imaginative characters in a witty and wonderful world filled with inventive puzzles and the tendency to instill a genuine sense of wonder. Hue also features support for a multitude of color-changing LED devices, and offers a full-blown colorblind mode by utilizing unique symbols as a color aid.

Developed by Fiddlesticks and published worldwide by Curve Digital, Hue is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam for $14.99 / €14.99 / £11.99. The PlayStation Vita version will be available in September. Launch discounts of 20 percent off are available on all formats.

Mahatma Gandhi leads India in Civilization VI

Mahatma Gandhi leads India in Civilization VI

2K and Firaxis Games today revealed Mahatma Gandhi will lead India in  Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, launching  on Oct 21st for Windows PC.

Returning to lead India in Civilization VI is the beloved Mahatma Gandhi. Born in British-ruled India, Gandhi was famed for his courageous passive movements towards alleviating poverty, increasing women’s rights, promoting religious harmony and, most prominently, obtaining India’s independence.

Gandhi led the campaign for India’s independence from British rule through a specific philosophy of nonviolent resistance called Satyagraha. Some of his movements included the famed Salt March, multiple hunger strikes and more, which often led to long stints in prison and harm to himself.

Gandhi also worked to unite Hindus and Muslims in the country, which drew the attention of many would-be assassins. After five failed attempts on his life, Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948, leaving a nation and world in mourning. As the preeminent nonviolent activist, Gandhi’s influence changed the course of human history, setting the stage for leaders such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela who drew from his inspiring nonviolent philosophies for change.

Growing considerably in size and trading in Titan-slaying gear for devastating melee attacks, this form offers a unique shift in gameplay that gets up close and personal with the gigantic creatures! In addition to the game’s main campaign, players are able to recruit up to three companions online in Scout Mode to venture outside the wall and tackle missions across a variety of different stages, including the Forest of Giant Trees, the Ruined Town, a Farm Village and even the Stohess District.

Those who purchase Attack on Titan on Windows PC via Steam from August 30 until September 2 will receive two bonus DLC costumes.
