FIGHT. SURVIVE. REPEAT. DEBUT ROGUELITE TANKHEAD LAUNCHES TODAY ON EPIC GAME STORE

Dismantle and Destroy

Toronto (Dec. 11th, 2024) – Indie studio Alpha Channel today announced the release of their debut game, TankHead, a roguelite built around exploration and thrilling vehicle gameplay where players take on missions across the desolate ECA. A surprise announcement at this year’s Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Edition, TankHead is available now exclusively via Epic Game Store.

A cataclysmic event has left the war-torn world of ECA largely uninhabitable. In TankHead, players step into the role of Whitaker, a sleepwalker who illegally ventures into the ECA on missions to recover high-value items. To survive the harsh environment, Whitaker ‘tele-projects’ his consciousness into a Needle—a robust drone able to withstand the ECA’s unforgiving conditions. Using a Needle, players will pilot a Tank to combat the vehicles and creatures of the ECA in an effort to reach Highpoint City and uncover its secrets.

Missions culminate in desperate, high-stake fights with imposing war machines known as TankHeads. Survival depends on more than brute force; players must strategically customize their tanks with an arsenal of weapons, armor, wheels, motors, and abilities. Combat is tactical, requiring players to expose enemy weak points and strike with lethal precision to deliver a killer blow. After each fight, scavenge the battlefield for resources, salvaging parts to upgrade your tank or send to the scrapheap. Every decision matters—the cleaner the fight, the more valuable loot to recover.

At the heart of TankHead lies its distinct tank warfare system. Controlling both the body and turret, players must master maneuvering to keep their armor facing the enemy while shielding vulnerable motors. With a diverse array of mods and weapons, three beautifully detailed maps, and a host of deadly enemies lurking in the ECA, every mission is a battle for survival.

TankHead is available to buy now for PC via Epic Game Store. Fans wanting more information can visit the official site, https://www.tankhead.com/.

Winter season hits Dying Light 2: Stay Human in the Winter Tales: Gifts from Above event!

Villedor is back in holiday spirit with Santa’s plane-shaped sleigh and a stockpile of presents. With Patch 1.20 streamlining the Prologue, it’s easier than ever to jump into the game and join the Winter festivities!

Wrocław, Poland – December 11th, 2024  – The temperatures are dropping, snowflakes are falling, and the festive spirit is alive in Dying Light 2: Stay Human once again! Techland is excited to announce the return of the fan-favorite event, Winter Tales: Gifts from Above. The celebration kicks off on December 11th, alongside the release of Patch 1.20, and will run until January 2nd.

No place to go? Let it snow!
Villedor has been hit by frosty weather, and its citizens are ready to celebrate the festive season. There’s a tree, but it’s missing decorations – where are they? Players must complete bounties from Baka or loot containers to gather trinkets, ornaments, and decorations to dress the tree and spread holiday cheer! As a reward for hard work, players will get presents like the Killer Krampus Outfit and Winter Sweets, which can be spent at Baka’s stall.

Baka’s back with his (festive) shack
Baka’s Halloween stand has been exchanged for something more festive and offers up some great and unique items, including the boomerang-style Skoll, Snowballs and much, much more. He has also ordered some new stock with the Killer Krampus items, including The Punisher weapon, used to reprimand those naughty zombies. So before taking on any bounties, players have to make sure to check out all of Baka’s wares!

What’s more, with each level increase of Baka’s reputation, players will get a letter they can send to Santa using the box located next to the stall to get an airdrop full of presents.
They will have to make sure to participate in the weekly airdrop challenges as the rewards will change, allowing them to earn the entire Killer Krampus Gear Set.

Jingle all the slay – new enemy
Uncle Snows and his helpers – the Naughty Infected and Virals—are back and hungrier than ever. Watch out for a new festive zombie, the Ice Spitter, who will shoot icy projectiles. While Naughty Infected can be found all over Villedor, the most formidable Uncle Snows will be guarding precious airdrops.

One more update for 2024…
Alongside the release of Winter Tales: Gifts from Above 2024, we’ll be releasing Patch 1.20. This patch will streamline the Prologue so players can get into the action much quicker, making it the perfect time to jump into the game for the first time, or finally return to see what else has changed since your last visit to Villedor. The patch also addresses various issues, including those relating to crashes and co-op, and several that have been reported by the community, such as the headless Aiden during the stomp animation.

…And two more presents!
This is the season for giving after all, so until January 2nd, all players will be able to grab the Above the Law Bundle completely for free. Just like the Killer Krampus, this bundle is all about making sure those not following the rules get punished, so pick it up and keep law and order in The City.

For those who haven’t yet experienced the world of Dying Light, now is the perfect time! During this festive season, both Dying Light 1 and Dying Light 2: Stay Human are available at discounts of up to 80%.

To help us create unforgettable experiences for all Dying Light players, we invite them to join the conversation on Discord, Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTube – we’ll be waiting!

About Enotria: The Last Song

Enotria: The Last Song is an action rpg souls-like set in a fictional world based on Italian folklore and culture. The game is described as a souls-like, but in contrast with other titles belonging to this genre, it is set in a world portrayed with the colors of the Italian summer, becoming, as the development studio Jyamma Games loves to describe it, a “summer-soul”. Enotria: The Last Song is set on a continent with the same name, in which several countries and cultures have prospered in different ways – until everything has fallen into ruin. The curse of the Canovaccio, indeed, has started to spread among the lands, depriving them of its inhabitants and their roles to make them part of its spectacle. In a world emptied of its soul, your mission will be to turn everything back to the glorious days, facing many enemies and encountering those who will be there to help you in your quest, creators of the Canovaccio in the first lands and those who serve them. Many will be the hurdles on your path: defeat bosses and enemies with more than 100 different weapons, 45 spells, parry modifiers and more. With over 150 million possible combinations of builds, the customization of the experience will be unlimited.
