Austin, Texas – After intense negotiations between developer Flying Wild Hog and publisher Devolver Digital’s shadowy Future Profits Division, the katana-filled and blood-soaked Shadow Warrior has been updated with an all-new and absolutely free Survival Mode.

Starting today, gamers will be able to use Rise of the Triad’s Excalibat as an alternative katana in Shadow Warrior and in turn step in to the shoes of Shadow Warrior’s Lo Wang in Rise of the Triad’s insane multiplayer modes.

“Enjoy the free content, nerds,” remarked Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “Don’t forget my holiday cheer and festive giving of free stuff next year when I jack up prices on some face-melting indie games.”

Put the beers in the fridge, the Zombies are coming soon Zombeer has got the Greenlight

Put the beers in the fridge, the Zombies are coming soon Zombeer has got the Greenlight 

Barcelona (Spain) – December 18, 2013 – Moonbite, a European games and animation studio based in Spain, announced today that its first-person-survival-horror-comedy-shooter Zombeer got the Greenlight on Steam and will be released in early 2014 on PS3, PC and Mac. Thank you fans from all over the world!

 

The group Motorzombies created a song and a videoclip for the game! Watch it now on:

http://youtu.be/C7KU-4fhcGE

 

Motorzombis arise from their graves in 2005 seeding evil wherever their terrifying melodies sound . Their blend of Horror-Punk, Rockabilly and Hard Rock from the eighties leads to a strong and eclectic Psychobilly, full of references with “spanish” aftertaste.

 

Dude, I love beers and I want to kill Zombies. Can I be a part of it?

Hell yeah! Zombeer has been created by fans of the comedy horror culture and we really want to reward our fans for their continuous support during the development of the game. Without such an amazing community we would have never been able to release the game we wanted. While we just got the Greenlight we are now developing a tool to get all of our fans into the game. When you will frag a Zombie in Zombeer, a Tomb with a fan name on it will be popping up so you know the name of the fan you just killed.

You can still be in the final game on PC! Just fill in the form and start eating brains!

ELSWORD SAVES THE BEST FOR LAST: INTRODUCING THE FIRST NEW CHARACTER IN 2013

ELSWORD SAVES THE BEST FOR LAST: INTRODUCING THE FIRST NEW CHARACTER IN 2013

New Character Ara Haan Pierces Her Way Into Elsword In The Most Celebrated Release Of The Year

Irvine, Calif., December 18, 2013—The hit free-to-play action MMORPG, Elsword, today introduces its first new character in more than a year, the spear wielding martial artist, Ara Haan.  In the most celebrated content update of the year, players can now take on the role of Ara Haan, the seventh playable character in Elsword, beginning today.

“We are thrilled at the level of excitement Elsword fans have shown with the anticipation of Ara Haan’s arrival,” Eugene Kim, CEO of KOG Games. “Since her debut in Korea, Elsword players have been clamoring for more news on when she will be arriving and we are excited to finally deliver.”

Ara Haan, a spear-wielding martial artist, comes to the world of Elsword with an all-new fighting style that differs from any other current characters.  Inspired  by ancient warriors of the Far East and a bevy of martial arts movies, both traditional and a little quirky, her extremely quick and powerful skill set brings a whole new dimension to the Elsword world.

Ara’s new combat style brings a completely new dynamic to Solo, Co-Op and Player vs. Player gameplay. As a lightning fast, close-quarter combo master, Ara can chain together any number of combat skills to offer a punishing array of huge combos, effects and interrupts.

With the help of a mystical nine-tailed fox, Ara barely escapes when a demonic onslaught assaults her village, but the village, as well as her family perishes. The mysterious fox, Eun agrees to help Ara solve the mystery of the demon horde attack in exchange for Ara’s help in unlocking the magic pin that has trapped Eun’s very essence for centuries.  Ara accepts, and begins unraveling an epic storyline all her own.

For a limited time, players that complete the new Ara specific quests will receive great Ara themed prizes.  To play Elsword for free please visit ElswordOnline.com and keep watching the official Facebook page here.  For more Elsword information and assets please visit our press kit here.

In Elsword, gamers can choose from seven specialized and customizable characters as they explore an immersive world and battle rivals to complete dynamic quests. As players progress through the game, they can evolve their fighting styles by upgrading to new job classes, learning deadly new abilities and mastering combo attacks. With intuitive and straightforward controls, Elsword offers players of all skill levels the ability to experience the thrill of victory in combat either on solo missions or cooperatively in a party of up to four players. For those who welcome a challenge, Elsword also delivers action-packed PvP combat.

Entries can be submitted from now until noon Austin, Texas time on the 23rd of December. One lucky winner will get a PlayStation 4 and a pre-release download for Hotline Miami 2 on PSN when it’s ready to go.

How to make it happen:

1. Only entries from the United States are eligible to win. Sorry, this is the only way we can appease the monsters we keep chained up in the legal department.

2. Keep the video entrees under 30 seconds and on YouTube only, telling Devolver Digital and Fork Parker why they deserve to win. That’s like half a minute, so make it count!

3. Entrants must submit their link in a tweet to @DevolverDigital and follow @DevolverDigital to be eligible to win. One entry per Twitter/YouTube user.

4. Winner will be notified via Twitter direct message so if you don’t follow @DevolverDigital and you win, you actually lose. People will call you a loser.

5. If you don’t win, you should still totally buy a PlayStation 4. They’re slick.
