 Godzilla Returns to Destroy Cities and Vanquish Classic Enemies on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3

SAN JOSE, Calif., (July 14, 2015) – Leading interactive entertainment company BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. today announced that GODZILLA has emerged from his long slumber to once again deliver massive destruction to cities and vanquish classic enemies on both the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system (digital only).

Developed by Japanese videogame studio NATSUME ATARI INC., GODZILLA gives players control of one of the most famous and destructive Kaiju (special effects monsters) in entertainment history. As Godzilla, players will have the power to trample and lay waste to cities. Players will also have to collect G-Energy which can be used to power-up Godzilla, increasing his physical size as well as his offensive and defensive skills. Exclusively on the PlayStation®4 system, users can play as any Kaiju in the game, in any mode in the game! Collect G-Energy to max out your favorite Kaiju’s stats and destroy opponents online with your Kaiju in the battle style of your choice. Select from over 20 different Kaiju, including classics like Anguirus and Rodan, as well as more recent Kaiju like Type-3 Kiryu. There are many different iterations of Godzilla in the game as well, from Godzilla as seen in 1964’s “Mothra vs. Godzilla” to Godzilla as seen in the latest 2014 movie (“Hollywood Godzilla”).

GODZILLA will also enable players to recreate the thrill of watching the classic and modern films by utilizing a dynamic movie-style camera angle system. This system delivers the most epic camera angles, giving players the best view from which to destroy both a multitude of locations as well as classic enemies such as Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla.

“For over 60 years Godzilla has sparked the imaginations of millions of fans and has been one of Japan’s most famous and favorite pop culture exports to the West.” said Eric Hartness, Vice President of Marketing at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “With the GODZILLA videogame we’re writing an exciting new chapter in Godzilla’s history, enabling his fans to play as their favorite monster and truly experience his incredible strength and destructive power.”

GODZILLA features multiple game modes including; Destruction Mode where players can deal massive amounts of mayhem and lay waste to more than 20 different stages. Diorama Mode enables players to place models of Godzilla and the other Kaiju in different settings to capture epic photos through the use of the SHARE function on the PlayStation®4 system. Players can also enjoy the King of Kaiju Mode where Godzilla fights his way through a gauntlet of the franchise’s most famous monster enemies to reach the top of the Kaiju hierarchy and reign supreme on the throne as the true King of the Monsters. PlayStation®4 system players can use any Kaiju in any mode, including an Online Multiplayer Mode that enables for up to three players at once fighting in all-out mayhem.

Rated “T” for TEEN by the ESRB, GODZILLA is available now at videogame retailers in North America and Latin America in packaged form for the PlayStation®4 system and in digital form exclusively on the PlayStation®Store for the PlayStation®3 system. GODZILLA launches in Brazil on July 17, 2015.

Guild of Dungeoneering Launches to Aspiring Dungeon Masters Everywhere!

Distinctive Indie Developed Role-playing Game Now Available for PC and MAC

DUBLIN, Ireland – July 14, 2015 – Independent developer Gambrinous, in partnership with indie publishing powerhouse Versus Evil, has announced the release of their newest role-playing game (RPG) Guild of Dungeoneering for PC and Mac. The innovative and entertaining new card driven dungeon-crawler combines dungeon building, exploration and combat mechanics with nostalgic ‘hand drawn’ style graphics on graph paper and is now available to buy on Steam and GoG.com for $14.99.

Guild of Dungeoneering turns traditional dungeon crawling on its head by putting a new spin on classic game play – rather than controlling a dungeoneer, players build their dungeon around him (or indeed her). Using a random deck of cards, players can expand the dungeon and strategically place loot and monsters to lure their dungeoneer in the direction they want him to go.  When their dungeoneer confronts a monster (either willingly or not), battle lines are drawn and the victor will be decided on how cunning a player is with the hand that’s been dealt to them.

“We’re incredibly excited to share Guild of Dungeoneering with the world,” said Colm Larkin of Gambrinous. “What started as a weekend project has blossomed and become something beautiful. I think the game taps into a pretty unique blend of tabletop and role playing nostalgia. I’m really proud of what we’ve made and can’t wait to see what everyone thinks.”

Over time, as players collect enough gold and gain more experience, they will be able to build out their own Guild by adding rooms to attract more-powerful adventurers and unlock better weapons and special cards for their Guild deck all in the name of fame and fortune.

“Guild of Dungeoneering brings to life the dungeon crawler in such a unique, fun way through cards that ooze character,” said General Manager Steve Escalante. “Through its nostalgic, hand drawn look, its clever use of music and deep adventures, Guild of Dungeoneering has captured the TCG and Roleplaying gamers in the Versus Evil team.  We are so excited you can now all play this wonderful indie title.”

KOEI TECMO LAUNCHES DECEPTION IV: THE NIGHTMARE PRINCESS ON PLAYSTATION®4, PLAYSTATION®3 and PLAYSTATION®VITA.

Click here to view the launch trailer!

Hertfordshire, 14 July 2015- KOEI TECMO EUROPE is pleased to announce the release of DECEPTION IV: the Nightmare Princess on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and digitally on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the PlayStation®Vita handheld system this Friday, 17^th July 2015.

This will be the debut for the Deception series on the PlayStation®4, and it includes the entire content of Deception IV: Blood Ties plus a new Quest Mode involving a brand new character, Velguirie, and her rise to power through one hundred missions and three new stages.

In addition to Laegrinna (the protagonist of ‘Blood Ties’) and Velguirie, there will be appearances from the protagonists of previous titles in the Deception series. The three other princesses are:

Millennia, the Clockwork Princess, who has more stamina than the other characters and the power to use traps in rapid succession;

Allura, the Branded Princess, who can automatically recover her stamina and use defensive abilities such as Recovery and Shock Wave;

and Reina, the Tragic Princess, who has the unique ability to slow time and dodge enemy attacks;

Although they initially appear as enemies, they can be defeated in such a way that will allow the player to add them to the list of playable characters and use their unique powers to create even more entertaining scenarios!

For those who would like an early taste of what this highly entertaining trap action title has to offer, there is a downloadable Demo available on the PlayStation®Network Store free of charge, including the first two chapters of the Story Mode (with a detailed tutorial designed to teach new players how to manoeuvre their character, and set and activate traps) and 12 brand new Quests. To better illustrate what the gameplay would be like on higher levels, some features have been unlocked early. These include the ability to create 7-trap-long combo sequences, as well as some of Velguirie’s unique powers (Kick and Dash). Due to the fact that the Demo is tweaked to showcase a leveled up character in the initial Quests, save data from the Demo will not be transferable to the final game upon release. However, for those that would like to show off their combos, PS4 Share functionality will be enabled!

Lastly, pre-orders will be running until launch on Friday 17^th July, offering a DLC selection of unique traps! GAME pre-orders come with a ‘Grill’ trap- essentially a fire-walking pit that will cause enemies to quickly tip toe across (that is, if they land on it feet first). Independent retailers (through Centresoft) will offer a ‘Kick-Off’ trap- a mechanical apparatus that kicks high speed footballs in the direction of the player’s adversaries. The PlayStation®Network will offer a ‘Golden Horse’ trap which takes its victims on an agonising and humiliating ride they will never forget. And finally, pre-order through ShopTo.net is lavishly accompanied by a ‘Golden Toilet’ – a trap that shows up from the floor under the unsuspecting victim’s legs, only to catapult them in the air with a jet of water!
