The Plus version of Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky comes bursting with new content, including brand new event scenes inspired by the Escha & Logy anime, which released in Japan in celebration of developer GUST’s 20thanniversary. These new scenes delve deeper into the relationship that Escha and Logy share, revealing a sweet secret story that was not available in previous versions of the game.
Additionally, Atelier Escha & Logy Plus includes all DLC from the PlayStation®3 version, a new playable character (Nio Altugle, younger sister of Atelier Ayesha), new costumes, and—to the delight of fans of the Atelier IP—a series of new and more challenging missions and ‘boss’ enemies!

GET READY TO CLUCK THINGS UP WITH ROCKETBIRDS 2: EVOLUTION, COMING SOON TO PLAYSTATION®4 AND PLAYSTATION®VITA
Hardboiled Sequel Lock And Loaded With Vastly Improved Controls, Cross-Buy/Cross-Save Functionality, Killer Soundtrack and More
Los Angeles, CA– January 19, 2016 – Everyone’s favorite fearsome, feathered fighting force is back with a vengeance! Ratloop Asia is pleased to announce that Rocketbirds 2: Evolution, the sequel to the fan-favorite original Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, is coming soon to the PlayStation®4 and the PS Vita.
“The original Rocketbirds, with its memorable art style and hilariously dark sense of fowl humor, still holds a special place in many gamers’ hearts around the globe,” said Rocketbirds creator, Sian Yue Tan. “We’ve been working on delivering a sequel for some time now, and are thrilled that it will soon be available to players, who will in turn be thrilled that it builds upon and improves just about everything they loved about the original.”
Rocketbirds 2: Evolution picks up right where the cinematic adventure of Hardboiled Chicken left off. Players again will gear up as Hardboiled, the tough-as-nails, plucky chicken super-agent and the original “Cock of War.” The evil megalomaniacal despot Putzki, who wants nothing more than to bend the world to his wing, is still alive, and his evil plans force Hardboiled to hunt him down and eliminate him once and for all. Featuring enhanced gameplay controls, new combat systems, an expanded arsenal, and two new game modes, Rocketbirds 2: Evolution’s new level of depth and replay value also is fueled with jetpack action, space owls, and co-op multiplayer.
Key features of Rocketbirds 2: Evolution include:
Improved Controls: New and improved controls provide easy to pick-up-and-play gameplay, plus an upgraded combat system where gamers can run, aim, jump and shoot; all at the same time.
New Game Modes: Two new game modes: Story Mode and Rescue Mode
Story Mode: In story mode, Hardboiled finds out Putzki is still alive and seeks to eliminate him once and for all. Along the way, Hardboiled realizes the Trans-dimensional Space Owls are behind it all and needs to re-assess who his enemies really are.
Rescue Mode: Assemble a strike force of great magnitude and drop-in to a game of (up to four player) online/offline Rescue Mode, a meta collection game that takes place in up to four completely different, procedurally generated locations. Gear up, Rescue and Recruit over 16 hostages to fight the Penguin Regime. Prefer to play alone? You can do that too, but we recommend you Rent-A-Duck mercenary for additional “feather-power” support. And get ready to ruffle feathers in the Dojo, where players can go head-to-head in intense firefights.
Hardboiled Humor: Fused with hilarious voice-over moments, Rocketbirds 2: Evolution retains the original game’s sense of humor and builds on it with more laughable and ridiculously absurd moments
High Flying Soundtrack: The talented band New World Revolution, which provided the kick-a$$ soundtrack for the original game, is back with an exclusive soundtrack to bring the game to life.
Unlockables and Easter Eggs: Discover loot locations throughout Rescue Mode to unlock 100+ weapons and costumes, money to buy ammo, better weapons, or rent-a-duck for combat support.
Ratloop Asia will be releasing more information for Rocketbirds 2: Evolution in the coming months, including an exact release date. In the meantime, stay up to date on the latest Rocketbirds 2: Evolution updates on Twitter and Facebook.
