Evil Marian and Super Anubis Join the Fight on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation® 5, and PlayStation® 4

Walnut Creek, California – August 12, 2025 | Maximum Entertainment, alongside developer Secret Base, announced today that the beloved beat ‘em up Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is expanding its roster today with another two brand-new playable characters in a free DLC pack. This is the second character pack to be added to the hit game this year, with the first two DLC characters, Jeff and Abore, launching this past April. 

To celebrate today’s DLC launch, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is currently available for 65% off on Steam and Nintendo Switch: Buy Now

Meet the New Fighters:

Evil Marian
Once a trusted ally, Marian is now under the grip of an unknown, malevolent force. Cold and distant, she floats above the ground, lashing out with psychic blasts and violent telekinesis. Her eyes are vacant, her voice devoid of emotion—something ancient has taken hold of her…and it’s not letting go.

Super Anubis
For years, whispers claimed Anubis was a fraud, a cult figure with no true power. But now, Super Anubis has emerged: levitating, glowing, and summoning dark forces beyond comprehension. The question lingers—was he a fake all along…or a prophet finally revealed?

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a dynamic side-scrolling action brawler that brings the iconic Billy and Jimmy Lee back into action, joined by new allies to combat the criminal underworld of New York City. Players can unleash devastating combos and special moves as they fight their way through the city, with unique playable characters and unlockable upgrades. In a fresh twist on the classic formula, select up to two characters to form a tag team for cooperative play!

Play today on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation® 5, and PlayStation® 4 today, and download the brand-new DLC now. Find Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons today on your preferred platform: DoubleDragonGaiden.com.

Narrative-rich beat ‘em up meets shoot ‘em up available across Steam, Xbox and PlayStation for $19.99

Cincinnati, Ohio (Aug. 12, 2025) – The AI meant to save Earth from climate change did its job, eliminating the largest polluters from the planet – humans – sending those who survived into outer space in search of refuge. Now, it’s time to take it back. Four ninja cheerleaders from outer space, Aris, Saida, Ren and Vee, have been training their entire lives for this moment. Now is the time. Ra Ra BOOM is available from debut studio Gylee Games today across PC, Xbox and PlayStation for $19.99, and it is an absolute delight: https://linktr.ee/raraBOOM

Not your average beat ‘em up, Ra Ra BOOM cooks with turbo-charged four-player co-op action, blending classic beat ‘em up gameplay with faster action for modern gamers. Ra Ra BOOM’s unique take arms every character with a ranged weapon, blending shooting seamlessly with the frenetic melee combat. 

Today’s overview trailer goes in-depth on what you can expect from this action-packed adventure with commentary from group leader Aris.

Woven throughout this action-packed game is a surprisingly narrative-rich campaign, with real, relatable heroes thrown into a battle to save humanity. Anyone who has ever been a teenager can relate, even if they’ve never had to save the planet. 

In Ra Ra BOOM, each playable character also sports their own weapons and strengths, giving you four different, explosive takes on combat to find your perfect playstyle. Collect Scrap and use it to choose the abilities you want unlocked to perfect your game in the Scrap Shop. Augmenting traditional beat ’em up gameplay with its unique lane system, Ra Ra BOOM integrates those lanes naturally into its hand-drawn environments, making sure that you don’t miss your mark in both melee or ranged combat.

Ra Ra BOOM’s killer soundtrack doesn’t miss a beat either – with a non-stop score of heart-pounding, rock-tinged beats courtesy of DJ duo Toy District, made up of Gylee Games CEO “Bergs” and partner Dreweybear. Ra Ra BOOM keeps both the energy and the BPM sky high. 

Pine Hoverfly Set Launches Alongside STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar; All Proceeds to Support Vital Conservation Efforts

London, U.K. – 12 August 2025 – Marvelous Europe today announced a downloadable content (DLC) pack for the highly anticipated farming life sim, STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar, launching on 27 August 2025, for Nintendo Switch™, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows PC via Steam. 

 All net proceeds from the new Pine Hoverfly Outfit Set DLC, which includes a new in-game sweater, beanie and glider will directly support the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) and their crucial invertebrate conservation efforts. To provide an in-depth look at this impactful collaboration, a short documentary which explores the campaign’s journey and success is now available to watch: 

The Pine Hoverfly Outfit Set DLC marks the continuation of a groundbreaking partnership that began in 2020, when Marvelous Europe partnered with RZSS, with the help of Jellymedia, donating to support their efforts to reestablish the pine hoverfly, a ‘Critically Endangered’ insect. The pine hoverfly, once confined to a single forest patch in Scotland, plays a key role in the ecosystem as a pollinator and waste recycler. The pivotal donation enabled the wildlife conservation charity to significantly expand its breeding programme from 170 to 8,000 individuals annually, actively preventing the species’ extinction. For the first time in eight years, adult pine hoverflies have been sighted and are reproducing in the wild.

“The fact that fans can now download Pine Hoverfly content within STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar is super exciting for us, because by doing so, they are directly contributing to conserving a critically endangered species in the UK,” said Dr Helen Taylor, RZSS Conservation Programme Manager. “Species like pine hoverflies are key to the health of our native ecosystems and yet are so often overlooked. We love that Marvelous are standing with us in protecting the wee beasties of this world and that this brilliant partnership is continuing to evolve.”

Chris Jennings, Head of Marketing at Marvelous Europe, noted, “The core theme of regeneration in STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar perfectly mirrors the conservation efforts taking place, bringing a species close to extinction back to ensure future generations can see them in the wild.” He added that the positive impact of this initiative has fostered a desire within the Marvelous group for similar future projects.

STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar is the latest instalment in the beloved farming life sim series, inviting players to breathe life back into Zephyr Town. Players will raise animals, harvest crops, and sell wares from their own stall in the lively weekly bazaar to restore prosperity to the town. The game features picturesque mountainside living, effortless gliding across town using wind power, and a colourful cast of characters to befriend and romance.

The Pine Hoverfly Outfit Set DLC will be available globally, with 100% of proceeds going to RZSS. Players can join the effort to support real-world conservation efforts by purchasing the DLC when STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar launches on 27 August 2025, for Nintendo Switch™, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows PC via Steam.
