XSEED GAMES HAMMERS OUT NORTH AMERICA RELEASE DATE FOR THE LEGEND OF HEROES: TRAILS OF COLD STEEL II

Sequel to Critically-Acclaimed Entry in the “Trails” Franchise to Launch in North America for PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®Vita on September 6, 2016

Torrance, Calif., – August 16, 2016 – XSEED Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that the next installment in the critically-acclaimed Trails franchise, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, has gone gold and will launch for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system in North America on September 6, 2016, both physically at retail and digitally on the PlayStation®Store for a suggested retail price of $39.99. Owners of the limited “Lionheart Edition” of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel will be able to complete their collection, storing both titles in the custom collectible box along with the art book and pin of the country of Erebonia that came with the first installment.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II picks up one month after the decisive collision which changed the fate of the entire nation at the conclusion of Trails of Cold Steel. Speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS” system returns with all the bells and whistles players fondly remember alongside a new Overdrive mode, new means of transportation across both the land and sky, new allies, new dangers, and a renewed sense of hope as Rean tirelessly works to right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray.

Cross-Save functionality between the game’s “PS Vita” and PS3™ editions remains supported, and save data from the first game grants bonus stats and extra items. In addition, relationships cultivated during the earlier time players spent at Thors Military Academy affect future story elements and allow for more personalized conversations throughout the game.

CONGA MASTER BRINGS SOLO, CO-OP, AND COMPETITIVE CONGA-ING TO PC ON SEPTEMBER 14

Console Versions to Follow Next Year With Rising Star Games Publishing All Versions of The Hilarious Party Arcade Game

Los Angeles, CA – August 16, 2016 – Videogame publisher Rising Star Games today throws on its dancing shoes and funkiest moves to announce a new partnership with game development studio Undercoders, bringing the dance party extravaganza Conga Master to PC and consoles.

The hilarious party arcade game Conga Master sees up to four players each controlling their chosen party-goer in his or her quest to create the most epic conga line ever.

Travelling through different nightclub locales during a night to remember, players will find all manner of dancers with different styles and personalities. Shimmy up close to entice them with a successful display of dazzling dancing, and they will join your line. But, with great conga comes great responsibility, and the longer the conga, the harder it will be to maintain momentum and avoid disco downers, like the crotchety custodians or the pigs in disguise who will try to infiltrate your line and stink up your party vibe.

Birthed out of the theme-based accelerated game development event ‘Ludum Dare,’ Conga Master is now a fully fleshed-out, content-packed game, in its own right. Conga Master features extensive local co-op and competitive multiplayer modes for up to four players, as well as a crazy single-player campaign. Don’t be fooled by the easy-to-learn, simple two-button controls – the game boasts a wealth of features such as, combo systems, objective-based play, over 30 different characters each with their own skills and attributes, seven different nightclub environments, bonus stages, unlockable rewards, online rankings and ‘endless’ modes, and much more.

“Conga Master has a singleness of vision that glitters and stands out in today’s gaming space,” said Lee Skittrell, Marketing Strategist, Rising Star Games. “The game’s heart and spirit is made of pure unabashed fun; the kind of game that brings smiles to the faces of players young and old alike, coupled with a pleasingly peculiar sense of humor. Conga Master is a shiny and surreal disco-ball glittering over the heads of our already hugely diverse portfolio of quality titles.”

“All our life we wanted to play a conga dancing game but nobody would make one… so we had to become developers to fulfil our dreams,” said David Jaumandreu, CEO of Undercoders. “When we saw that the jam version of Conga Master was ranked as the top 5 most fun game of Ludum Dare 34 (out of 1,600+ entries!), we knew we weren’t alone!”

Developed by Undercoders and published by Rising Star Games, Conga Master will release on September 14 on PC via Steam. Console versions will follow in early 2017. To find out more, follow Rising Star Games on Twitter and visit the official Rising Star Games website.
