Celebrate Everhood Day™, Transcend with the Next-Generation of Self-Discovery

STOCKHOLM – Jan. 14, 2025 – Everhood 2, the Unconventional Action RPG (UARPG) sequel to one of 2021’s best-reviewed indie games with over 600,000 units sold, blows out the candles for the franchise’s fourth birthday with Everhood 2’s launch on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

Developer Foreign Gnomes asks: are you prepared to determine the color of your soul?

Laugh in the face of existential dread as a curious soul swinging between realities. Engage in interdimensional battles of fickle fates dancing the transcendental tarantella. Bob and weave while flowing through musical battles with over 100 pulse-pounding songs in a mind-bending universe on the brink of destruction. Learn your soul color and set off on a quest to slay the mysterious Mind Dragon before the world decays.

Forge bonds with a coterie of friendly creatures like the all-knowing celestial Raven, Joan of Arc, and others, all hanging in the balance of time and space. Dance with a diverse cast of sentient mushrooms, chill at the hangout with fresh and familiar characters, and bear witness to intense, trippy trials and tribulations.

Arm yourself with an arsenal fueled by friendship, ancient curses, future technological advancements, and otherworldly skills. Upgrade animated weapons like the legendary pair of Moon Blades or the skull-axe Ragnarok. Use each weapon to collect color-coded energy like Willpower, Wisdom, and more. Maintain an unbroken combo to cast heavy-hitting counterattacks for massive damage.

Explore alien worlds like the war-torn Vegetable Kingdom. Seek meaning in a narrative mambo of madness while chatting with Carl Jung, squaring off against Rasputin, and diving into philosophical discussions with Terrance McKenna as wayward souls search for absolute truths.

“We wanted to expand Everhood’s most eclectic aspects with our sequel,” said Chris Nordgren, co-founder of Foreign Gnomes. “You can still subdue evil carrot mages, time cops, robust slime creatures, and all that good stuff to the dulcet tones of Electronic Psychedelic Power Rock, but there’s quite a lot more discovery here. We even surprised ourselves! Quite a few unknown mysteries await for Everhood fans — and for anyone new, we hope this refinement of our original ideas speaks directly to your soul, whatever color it may be.”

Everhood 2 will open third eyes on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch (North American and European territories) on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. Everhood 2 will launch on Nintendo Switch in Asian territories on Thursday, March 6, 2026.

Tripwire Presents, the publishing division of Tripwire Interactive that focuses on releasing great games from other independent studios, today revealed the Special Edition and opened digital pre-purchase for The Stone of Madness, launching Jan. 28, 2025 on Windows PC via Steam (officially Steam Deck Verified), Epic Games Store and GOG, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S, with pre-purchase on the Nintendo Switch™ system beginning soon. Developed by The Game Kitchen, acclaimed developers of Blasphemous and Blasphemous 2, The Stone of Madness is currently available for pre-purchase for a MSRP of $29.99 for the Standard edition and $34.99 for the Special edition, which includes a digital copy of the game, digital artbook with over 60 pages of gorgeous art, and the digital official soundtrack (OST) featuring 24 songs including title song ‘La Piedra de la Locura’ available to listen to now on YouTube.

All digital pre-purchases will be discounted at 10% off their standard pricing, ending on Jan. 28. Eager fans on PC can download the demo available through Steam, taking players through the multi-hour prologue experience. Players can learn more about strengths, weaknesses, and phobias of the five uniquely flawed playable prisoners in the latest series of character vignettes released by Tripwire Presents. From young Amelia the rogue, using her small size and quick hands to sneak into forbidden areas and pilfer goods whilst avoiding the horrors of a child’s overactive imagination, to Eduardo the oversized craftsman, silently using his immense strength to overcome obstacles and avoiding dark and dimly lit areas that haunt him, each of the prisoners will work together to overcome their fears and escape…hopefully with their sanity still in tact. All five videos can be viewed via this YouTube Playlist.

The Stone of Madness is a tactical stealth adventure game set in a Spanish madhouse in the late 18th century, presented with gorgeous hand-crafted, period-inspired artwork. Located in the Pyrenees, a timeworn Jesuit monastery is home both to a madhouse and an inquisitorial prison; five mysterious characters have been imprisoned between its walls under different pretenses. Plagued by cruel punishment, madness, and despair, they will soon devise a plan to escape this place and its evil inhabitants, relying on each other to face their deepest fears.

The Stone of Madness key features include:

Escape the Monastery: Control all five characters independently to aid in their escape, taking care to preserve each member’s sanity as much as possible. As they explore the corridors and rooms of the monastery they may discover useful tools or clues to aid their escape. They must avoid detection at all times, the Inquisition is not known for their mercy.

Manage the Madness: Each character carries their own unique traumas and phobias contributing to their own respective madness. Managing their mental health will be crucial to their escape, using a system of character progression and regression. Failing to maintain a character’s sanity can trigger new negative traits including paranoia, dementia, or bouts of violence.

Discover the Secrets Within: Choose between two different escape plans, with each campaign featuring unique stories, objectives, and surprises. These plans will play out through a day and night cycle separating daytime actions and nighttime preparations, giving the prisoners time to rest and recover. Most actions will be best performed during daytime, even with the Inquisition’s presence, however the darkness of night offers unique opportunities, and risks. There is a reason most inmates rarely venture out after dark.

Experience Stunning, Hand-painted Art Style: The visuals in The Stone of Madness have been lovingly hand-painted and animated, drawing heavy inspiration from 18th-century artist Francisco De Goya. An isometric perspective allows players to explore scenes and observe minute details as if they’re adventuring through a Goya painting brought to life.

Developed by The Game Kitchen and published by Tripwire Presents, The Stone of Madness will launch on Windows PC via Steam (officially Steam Deck Verified), Epic Games Store and GOG, PS5™, Xbox Series X|S and the Nintendo Switch™ on Jan. 28, 2025.

London (January 14, 2025) It’s time to welcome everyone’s favourite cheery ninja as SNK’s Kunoichi Mai Shiranui joins the Street Fighter™ 6 roster on February 5, 2025, across PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam! As the second guest character in Street Fighter™ history, players have plenty of reasons to get excited for Mai’s unique move-set inspired by a variety of SNK classics with the modern touches of Street Fighter 6 mechanics. Players will be able to bring the heat with Mai across all three game modes, including Fighting Ground and Battle Hub, as well as checking her out as the newest Master in World Tour.

Check out the fiery Mai Gameplay Trailer below:

The dazzling Mai also drops with two Outfits. Outfit 1 is reminiscent of her classic style across SNK’s historic Fatal Fury series while Outfit 2 will be themed around her newest look in the upcoming Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Outfit 2 can be acquired via Fighter Coins or maxing out your bond with her in World Tour.

As seen in the trailer. Mai’s move-set uses a variety of familiar and newer techniques during matches to control her opponents with flaming projectiles, dive kicks and more, including:

• Kachousen: Mai throws her fan like a fireball. When used normally, the fan loses to other projectiles and your opponent’s strikes can knock them down. But when you hold down the input, they can no longer be neutralised by strikes. In addition, if the fan hits an opponent, it will pop up and fall down on them for another hit.
• Ryuuenbu: Spin forward in a fiery blaze for combos or to control space.
• Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi: Perform a cartwheel and fly towards opponents to elbow them. The OD version sends Mai into the air to follow up on the attack or to surprise opponents below.
• Hishou Ryuuenjin: Mai’s dragon punch, which works as an effective anti-air as she delivers a flying upwards kick bathed in flame.
• Kagerou no Mai: Mai’s Level 1 Super Art, she sets the immediate vicinity on fire, which can be useful as an anti-air move or combo ender. The move also gives Mai five Flame Stocks which give all of Mai’s special moves and Level 1 and 2 Super Arts special properties.
• Chou Hissatsu Shinobi Bachi: Mai’s Level 2 Super Art where she rushes forward in a blaze of glory that can get around projectiles.
• Shiranui Ryuu: Enbu Ada Zakura: Mai’s Level 3 Super Art, she flies like a butterfly and stings like a bee in a series of elegant fan strikes.

Mai will be available next month for players who own or purchase the Year 2 Character Pass or Year 2 Ultimate Pass, and can also be purchased with Fighter Coins. The wicked M. Bison and easygoing Terry (both available now) will be joined by Mai (February 2025) and Elena (Spring 2025) to round out Year 2 of Street Fighter 6. Stay tuned for more details!

Discover the opening cinematic which sets the backdrop for the rise of vampires, and learn more about the gameplay and storytelling mechanics in this 14^th century dark fantasy open world.

Under the full Wolf Moon, Rebel Wolves revealed the first look into the world of The Blood of Dawnwalker, its action RPG. The studio, co-founded by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, set the game in an alternative 14^th century, where feudal lords have been overthrown by a clique of powerful vampires. In this narrative sandbox players will forge their own story about saving their family… or taking whatever path their choices lead them down. The Blood of Dawnwalker is developed by Rebel Wolves in Unreal Engine 5 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Players can follow the game’s latest developments on the official website: dawnwalkergame.com.

14^th century Europe. Bloody conflicts sweep the lands, and the Black Death comes for the survivors. In the wake of the disasters claiming thousands of lives, the decimated human population struggles for survival. It’s a moment of weakness. In Vale Sangora, somewhere in the forgotten corner of the Carpathian Mountains, vampires seize their opportunity to walk out of the shadows, overthrow the feudal lords and claim what they’ve been denied for centuries: freedom, and ultimate power that comes with it. Legends turn into reality, and history as we know it will never be the same.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first chapter of the Rebel Wolves’ original dark fantasy saga. You play as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Not fully human, not entirely a vampire, you have 30 days and nights to save your family, or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way.

“Inspired by classic RPGs, we want players to feel the sense of urgency in an open world game. There are multiple approaches to saving Coen’s family with no clear division between main and side quests, you decide on how you spend the time.”, explains Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves. “Time is a resourceand with each quest progressing its passage, it is impossible to complete all stories and arcs before the dreadful deadline, making each playthrough unique. We call it a narrative sandbox.”

The freedom in gameplay is reflected in Coen’s very nature as a Dawnwalker. Depending on the time of day, players will have different skills, abilities and storyline outcomes.  Players must choose: do they fight for humanity or embrace the cursed powers?

Watch The Blood of Dawnwalker opening cinematic, taking place two years before the game, and meet Coen, his sister Lunka and the vampire clique led by their ruthless yet charismatic lord, Brencis. And take a look at a glimpse at the in-engine gameplay teaser here:

The Rebel Wolves pack plans to share more information about The Blood of Dawnwalker in the following months, including a gameplay reveal this summer. For now keep an eye on an updated dawnwalkergame.com, follow the official Dawnwalker social media channels: X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube
