Veteran Talent Behind Several Best-Selling Games Form New Women-Led Studio Focused on Creating Games with Broad Appeal – First Playable Demo at the IGDA’s Indie Media Connect During GDC

SEATTLE and LOS ANGELES: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2025 – New independent game studio Wicked Fox Games has launched a crowdfunding campaign for its inaugural game, Rise of Elements. The game is a narrative-rich, champion-led competitive RPG wrapped around a PvP elemental Match-3 puzzle mechanic. The Kickstarter campaign, which went live on Tuesday, offers backer rewards including exclusive skins, closed playtesting and early access, physical items and other perks depending on the support tier. The campaign runs March 4–April 3, 2025. 

Rise of Elements is the fully realized version of a prototype first created by Wicked Fox CEO Terry Redfield and another member of the current team nearly a decade ago. Rise of Elements players compete in Argos’ Tournament of Champions in a quest to achieve mastery of the elements and rid the world of Aetheron of the Void’s impending threat. It can be played competitively or more methodically through various single-player or multiplayer modes, including Timed, Moves, and Story modes, with the possibility of additional modes in the future.

Players select from a roster of diverse champions, each with their own set of moves, strengths and weaknesses, and special elemental abilities. The variety of champions, attributes, and play styles adds layers of tactical strategy to the elemental gem-based gameplay. Wicked Fox plans to lean into this aspect for future expansion, potentially releasing new champions and battle arenas, as well as collaborations. 

Currently, the game contains one such collaboration with the talented streamer and TV host Trisha Hershberger, who has teamed up with the studio to voice and create the champion Cordelia, the Enthusiastic Inventor. Another collaboration in the works is with streamer and voice actress Lily Ki, also known as LilyPichu, on future champion Emily, Queen of the Dead. Backers for Rise of Elements will be able to follow along on the development of these champions and more. “One of the studio’s primary focuses is to create diverse characters and relatable stories – often rooted in a culture’s mythology, that will resonate and be accessible to a broad range of players,” said Redfield. “We truly enjoy working with these creators and our community to further develop these distinctive and detailed characters.”

Rise of Elements is just the first title from Wicked Fox Games. Founded in 2024 by Redfield and CTO Caerie Houchins, the leadership team has held pivotal roles on numerous hit games, including VALORANT, Candy Crush, Dungeons and Dragons, League of Legends and Psychonauts. The studio has several other projects underway in various stages of design and pre-production and is actively seeking funding and/or strategic partnerships.

Slated for release in the second half of 2026, Rise of Elements is expected to launch as a premium PC (Steam) and web-based game, with plans to bring it to additional platforms.

About Wicked Fox Games

Founded in 2024, Wicked Fox Games is a remote, independent, and women-led game development studio that values inclusion and strives to create diverse, compelling characters and stories. The studio leadership has held leading roles at notable studios such as King, Wizards of the Coast, Niantic, Riot, and Bungie, where they worked on several best-selling games in the multiplayer and puzzle genres, including League of Legends, VALORANT, and Candy Crush: All Stars. The team is currently working on its debut title, Rise of Elements.

Invite up to four friends to staff your shop, or embark on a solo quest to become the best potion maker in the realm!

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 05 March 2025 | Explore the art of potion-making today with the launch of Potion Shop Simulator! From indie studio Pebbles Games, this alchemy shopkeeping game is available now on Steam for a single player and co-op experience.

4 Person Co-Op

Your dreams of owning a potion shop have finally come true. After years of studying alchemy at Wizard U, you’re ready to put your expertise to use for the creatures of the realm. Roll up your sleeves and gather herbs from both near and far—you will need them! Prepare to serve a magical clientele of various shapes and sizes, including orcs, goblins, satyrs, and more. While managing your shop and catering to the townsfolk, invite your friends to help maintain a positive shop ranking and become the most popular shopkeeper in town!

An Introduction to Alchemy

No two potions are the same. Explore the far reaches of the realm to collect ingredients and bring them back to your shop to try new combinations. Dried herbs yield different results than fresh ones, and different combinations of ingredients produce different effects. As you discover new potions, the recipe will be saved in your notebook for future reference. Keep your shop supplied with your latest creations and prepare for weekly inspector visits; they will check that your shop meets the various needs of your customers. Stock up on potions to handle rush hours, doubling your sales. If you’re daring, consider haggling with a few customers for extra coins along the way. Most importantly, avoid leaving your shop unattended, as it could tarnish your reputation!

Explore the Lore

Your potion shop is positioned outside a lively town, so be sure to explore all the village has to offer! Lend a helping hand in side quests, where you’ll encounter quirky townsfolk and bizarre requests. Fulfill orders for night-vision elixirs and Goblin Gut Soothers to increase your reputation among the townsfolk. In addition to learning more about your clientele, uncover the secrets left behind by the former owner and his trusty assistant of your old, dusty potion shop that once sat empty. When you’re ready to return to work, spruce up your space with decorations to brighten your dwelling and carpentry additions to add onto your space. Don’t forget to stop at the alchemy shop, where you will spend most of your time expanding your collection of tools, such as new mortars, distillers, and cauldrons, to continue improving your potions!

Gameplay Features:

• A colorful medieval fantasy setting creates the perfect ambiance for potion-making, and an interactive world provides an immersive simulator experience.
• Co-op mode for up to four players lets your friends join in on the fun! Tour the village, take care of plants, and experiment with different brews alongside your fellow alchemists.
• The world is alive with dynamic events, featuring a day and night cycle that brings market days in town, a traveling merchant, market trends, royal commissions from the king, and more. Keep an eye on your calendar so you don’t miss a thing.
• Improve your reputation by making and selling potions, and generate income to upgrade your shop’s aesthetics and efficiency. You can purchase additional items at the markets, from the traveling salesman, or at small shops downtown.
• The discovery of new potions awaits, so experiment to progress through the game. The more you brew, the more you sell! So, get adventurous with your potion combinations.
• 30+ main and side quests complete with missions designed to uncover the secret tales of the town and its mystical villagers. 

Potion Shop Simulator is out now on Steam.

New Features on PC Include Hao’s Special Works Vehicles, Access to GTA+, and More

March 4, 2025: The upgrade for Grand Theft Auto V on PC is now available to play from the Rockstar Games Launcher, and also via Steam or Epic Games.

Introducing features previously only available on the latest generation of consoles, this upgrade also optimizes the game experience and performance on modern PCs. Players who already own GTAV on PC can upgrade to this new version for free, with the ability to migrate your Story Mode and Online progress, while anyone jumping into GTAV and GTA Online on PC for the first time will get this new version (GTAV Enhanced) along with the original version (GTAV Legacy) when purchased. 

GTA Online Features

Get access to powerful new vehicles, stunning Chameleon Paints, high-performance modifications, and much more — all from Hao’s Special Works. 

Newly added vehicles for PC include the Pegassi Weaponized Ignus and Coil Cyclone II supercars, the Karin S95 sports car, the Imponte Arbiter GT muscle car, and the Pfister Astron Custom SUV. These join a fleet of 20 vehicles already available in GTA Online and are now available for tuning from HSW. Plus, GTA+ Members can claim a Principe Deveste Eight (Super) for free through May 28 as part of a special Classics Collection to commemorate GTA+ arriving on PC. 

Anyone looking to take in the fauna can also now relish in the animal ecosystem, with Ambient Animals encounters and a daily Wildlife Photography Challenge available from the LS Tourist Board at Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness.

Plus, the refreshed Landing Page makes it easier than ever for veteran PC players to jump straight into the action, alongside an improved introductory flow for newer players featuring the Career Builder — which includes a GTA$4,000,000 windfall to get you started as you choose one of four initial criminal career paths. The Career Progress feature offers the opportunity to track your headway across all of GTA Online’s updates while also unlocking special rewards as you advance. 

Both the newly upgraded and original versions also feature access to GTA Online’s wealth of updates, including today’s new Oscar Guzman Flies Again update where you’ll take control of the historic McKenzie Field Hangar in Grapeseed as a new branch of your arms trafficking business, complete with new missions, new aircraft, and more.

Technical Enhancements and Specs

PC players on the newly upgraded version running with the recommended specifications can enjoy ray tracing features only available on PC, such as ambient occlusion and global illumination — plus ray traced shadows and reflections that first debuted on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. 

There is also support for AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS (with Frame Generation support planned for both at a future date), and DualSense® controller support with adaptive triggers. Plus, faster loading times using SSD and DirectStorage on supported devices and configurations, enhanced support for higher resolutions, higher aspect ratios, and higher framerates, as well as enhanced audio with support for Dolby Atmos and improved fidelity of speech, cinematics, and music.

Access to the previous version of GTAV — found as GTAV Legacy in the launcher — will continue, so anyone whose hardware does not currently meet the minimum requirements of the new upgrade can keep playing. PC players on the Legacy version will be separate from those on the new Enhanced version, so anyone who wants to play with friends will need to make sure they are playing the same version of the game.

Also, Story Mode progress that was uploaded from the Legacy version during the pre-load period is now available to download and migrate to the Enhanced version of the game. 

And More…

The upgraded version of GTAV on PC also includes all of our recent GTA Online player experience improvements like kernel-based anti-cheat protections and proactive voice chat moderation. Make sure to check out our Community Guidelines to help ensure GTA Online remains a fun and fair experience for everyone.

GTA+ availability may vary in certain territories. For more information, please visit Rockstar Support.
