Back it today on Kickstarter for sweet rewards!

Halifax, Canada, November 19th, 2024 – Boards game creator Brueh Games has partnered with video game developer YarnCat Games to make a video game adaptation of Luís Brueh’s acclaimed strategy board game Keep the Heroes Out! Launching a Kickstarter campaign today and aiming for an early 2025 release on PC, Mac and consoles, this digital rendition of Keep the Heroes Out! offers the same asymmetric, co-op dungeon defense gameplay as its tabletop counterpart with a bevy of added extras.

Keep the Heroes Out! is an asymmetric, cooperative dungeon defense game for 1-4 players where you play as the monsters protecting their hard-earned treasures against invading hordes of “heroes” trying to steal it.

Your goal as a team is to survive going through the Guild deck two times, protecting the treasures in each room. If the main treasure is taken, the game ends in defeat, but if you manage to protect your treasures for long enough, you all win. Monsters may die, which is tragic, but you can always bring them back to the dungeon, so you are never eliminated from the game. However, once the treasure is gone, it’s gone forever.

The digital game brings the tabletop experience faithfully to life, with the same art style and gameplay, only now being that the computer controls the nasty heroes invading our lair. This means you can play solo against the AI, or get a gaming going remotely with your friends from afar. Furthermore, YarnCat Games has boosted the visuals with fluid animation and a tutorial to help onboard new players. There’s never been an easier, more convenient way to get into hero thwarting!

The original board game version of Keep the Heroes Out! was a massive success, selling over 70,000 copies since its launch in 2022. It became a Golden Geek Best Cooperative Game Nominee at BoardGameGeek, where it’s currently ranked as the 664th best board game of all time out of a database of roughly 156,000 titles. 

“I was overjoyed by the massive success of Keep the Heroes Out!’s tabletop release, so I wanted to share its engrossing, asymmetrical gameplay with a wider audience,” said Luís Brueh, Founder of Brueh Games and solo creator of the board game version of Keep the Heroes Out! “This digital version takes what makes the tabletop release great, but makes it far more accessible, as you’ll be able to both play it with friends remotely or hop into a single-player bout against the AI. Whether you’re a fan of the game already or a newcomer, this video game adaptation captures everything that made the tabletop release such a success!”

“I’m a big fan of tabletop gaming and Keep the Heroes Out! has become one of my favorite pastimes at game nights, so I was thrilled to partner with Brueh Games on this digital release,”said YarnCat Games Founder and Director Daniel Nascimento.“We’re over the moon that we’ll soon be able to share Keep the Heroes Out! with a wider audience in early 2025!”

Bandai Namco and Look North World Bring the Thrills of Netflix’s “Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance” to Gamers Worldwide

Look North World, a pioneering UGC game studio and publisher led by Alexander Seropian, Bungie founder and former Disney executive, and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe, launched GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE via Unreal® Engine for Fortnite (UEFN). The game is a competitive, team-based experience available now in Fortnite for all players worldwide on any platform they play Fortnite on.

Inspired by the explosive, gritty new Netflix animated series, “Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance,” GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE allows up to 20 players each match to align with either the Zeon or Earth Federation Forces factions and square off. When a match starts, players select their battlefield and deploy into their respective bases to equip themselves with an arsenal of their choosing. The primary objectives are to engage in tactical combat to secure the valuable MS Reactor Power. Factions are allocated a Cache in proximity to their base, and additional Caches are distributed across the terrain. Players acquire MS Reactor Power from the Caches. Teams must strategically collaborate to collect 200 MS Reactor Power, which then lets them activate their faction’s signature Mobile Suit, be it the Gundam EX or ZAKU II (Unidentified Type) Solari and have a devastating effect on the tide of battle.

GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE brings players the ultimate Gundam power fantasy in Fortnite, with access to a massive arsenal of popular weapons in each faction’s armory to maximize combat and robot takedowns while minimizing searching, looting, and traversing. The game is designed to deliver tense combat and thrills across the battlefield, culminating in an immersive, first-person cockpit view as if they were a real Gundam pilot. Players who take the most vengeance on their enemies will climb the global leaderboards and be entered to win Vbucks and Gunpla model kits from Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, with leaderboards resetting each week.

“Look North World specializes in creating premium, interactive experiences that align with what’s currently driving culture. Bandai Namco has raised the bar with Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, and we’ve captured the spirit of the show to create an experience that puts gamers on the battlefield. The experience is available for free in Fortnite, where gamers already love to play. Choose your faction, and we’ll see you on the scoreboard,” said Alex Seropian, Founder and CEO of Look North World.

“The Gundam series has the most loyal fans, and we’re on a mission to deliver them fresh entertainment and experiences. We’re grateful for the extremely positive reception to Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, and we’re excited to let fans recreate the experience in Fortnite with fast-paced faction combat in GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE.” said Karim Farghaly, Senior Vice President of corporate development for Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. “We’re proud of what we’ve created by collaborating with Look North World, and we look forward to seeing players square off against each other in Fortnite’s very own Gundam battlefield.”

GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE is available to play now by entering the Fortnite Creative Island code 7089-7797-5952

As part of an ongoing initiative for the GUNDAM Metaverse, GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE is one of the first major projects based on user-generated content that delivers an incredible dive into the world of Mobile Suit Gundam.
