Xeodrifter Launching September 1st on PlayStation4 & PlayStation Vita

Cult indie hit will feature cross-buy support on the PlayStation Network

Drifting Through the Cosmos – Award-winning indie developers Renegade Kid and publisher Gambitious Digital Entertainment announced today that the 3DS and PC modern classic, Xeodrifter, will be making its way to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita users on September 1st for $9.99.

Hailed as “Renegade Kid’s best game to date” by critics, Xeodrifter puts players in the role of a galaxy traveling nomad whose ship reluctantly becomes stranded in the dark void space. To rebuild his ship and go home, players will explore four sprawling planets as they unlock new abilities to further their means of exploration and upgrade their weapons to become a more formidable threat to the dangerous wildlife that inhabits these foreign worlds.

Harnessing a retro Metroid vibe, Xeodrifter blends modern gameplay elements with a style familiar to gamers spanning a generation. Recrafted for PlayStation controls, gameplay will feel familiar but fresh to Sony fans. Face off with epic bosses, explore distant planets and gain control of easy to use but hard to master weapons as you navigate your way home.

Fan-tastic content update inbound for Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies

Undead shooter gets overhaul based on community feedback

Nexon Europe has launched a huge two-tier overhaul to Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies, which adds a ton of fan-requested features, fixes and tweaks to the free-to-play multiplayer shooter, taking the action to the next level.

The CSN:Z community spoke and Nexon Europe has listened; the latest All for Users Update, delivers one of the most requested features to the game: a complete reworking of the ‘Vote Kick’ system. Going forward the voting system will feature an element of democracy, allowing the user who has chosen to be kicked to state their case and take a stance against the vote. Other tweaks have also been made to the voting system ensuring that it cannot be abused and misused.

Another oft-requested feature that has now been implemented is the division of the chat window. No longer will system messages appear in the chat, instead they have been separated into two individual windows. The new layout should allow the community to chat to each other with ease.

The inventory system has been overhauled, now finally allowing players to search and arrange their inventory however they see fit, whether that is by name, date acquired, or category. The All for Users Update also adds a ton of improvements, tweaks and bug fixes to the game. A full-list of updates can be found here:http://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791436292148/announcements/detail/125326385277677914

“Fan feedback is super important to us here at Nexon. We’re always looking for ways to up our game, and listening to what the community has to say is absolutely paramount in helping us achieve this,” said Paul, Studio manager at Nexon Europe. “With the latest Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies update, the team have gone above and beyond in giving the fans what they asked for, and the game is undeniably all the better for it.”

Since the launch of the massive content drop for Zombies, there has also been a huge demand from users requesting features for the Zombie modes. Nexon has listened to the feedback and made a number of improvements to the modes with the arrival of the Zombie Rework patch.

Zombies can now use a double grenade to shock the opposition. Players can also play as a Heroine in addition to the Hero in Zombie Hero mode. Additionally, a sidekick will be randomly assigned to the zombie to aid in the fight. The sidekick is able to equip a number of powerful special weapons.

The patch also gives more power to players when they are setting up matches, allowing them to restrict the number of Zombies in the game, further balancing the gameplay experience. A whole host of other revisions have been made to the game-type including new heroic weapons, tweaks and balances to the different zombie classes’ stats and skills.

Toronto – August 18, 2015 – Commencing countdown, engines on, as the clock for liftoff officially starts ticking for the launch of independent video game developer Asteroid Base’s action, 1-2 player co-op game Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.

In Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime players will use an array of weapons to battle dastardly robots and monstrous creatures, while avoiding galactic forces of nature to rescue kidnapped space bunnies from a galactic-vacuumy demise.
