All New Trailer Showcases Solo Campaign Mode, New Champions, and Fierce PvP battles for the Fast-Paced Tactical RPG

Paris, France, October 31st, 2024 – Independent developer Gemelli Games has announced that their highly anticipated fantasy tactical RPG, Skygard Arena, will be available on Steam Early Access starting November 18th. To mark the occasion, the team has unveiled a new trailer that invites players into the colorful world of Skygard, a realm forever altered by an ancient cataclysm.

In Skygard Arena, players lead the Champions of five factions vying for victory in the Tournament of the Ancients, where disputes are settled through intense tactical battles. The new trailer showcases the game’s unique combat system, where Champions can dash, teleport, and unleash game-changing combos in a single turn, as well as a glimpse at the content that awaits players for the Early Access launch.

The trailer introduces two new formidable Champions:the valiant front-liner Vallya and the cat-assassin Bu Shin. These two join the roster that was previously available in the public Demo version, bringing the total to nine playable Champions, with more to come during Early Access.

Players can also catch a glimpse of the all-new solo Campaign mode, featuring hand-crafted tactical missions: intense clashes between the Champions, objective capture run, unique enemies and maps, large-scale battles, epic boss encounters… The first three chapters will be available at Early Access launch, and more are planned to be released in future updates.

For players looking for freeform battles, the game’s Arena mode, already acclaimed by the community of Demo players, promises exhilarating battles. In this mode, teams of three Champions face each other, capturing objectives or eliminating their opponents to grab enough victory points. Those interested in online competition can face other players in matchmaking, while others looking to have fun solo can challenge an AI with several levels of difficulty.

“We’re excited to announce that Skygard Arena will be launching on Steam Early Access in just a few weeks,”said Alexandre Colin, Co-Founder & CEO at Gemelli Games.“The feedback we received during Steam Next Fest was incredible, and with this new trailer, we wanted to highlight the best aspects of the game, showcase our new content, and invite even more players to dive into tactical battles with the Champions of Skygard.”

About Skygard Arena
Centuries after a cataclysm that shattered the world of Skygard, five factionssend their Champions clash at a grand tournament for a mysterious, magical crown. But questions arise about this relic: will it bring peace, grant ultimate power, or lead to a more somber future for Skygard?

Starting from Early Access, delve into Skygard Arena’ssingle-player PvE campaign, letting you play hand-crafted tactical missions to save Skygard. Along the way, expand your roster by unlocking new Champions, their alternate Personas and powerful Artifacts—all of which combine to create your own team to suit your strategy.

For players looking to show off their skills in online PvP, the Arena mode offers intense 20-minute matches. Build custom teams and outwit your opponent in fast-paced skirmishes designed for both casual play with friends and competitive ranking. With a focus on skill, Skygard Arena ensures a fair PvP experience with no microtransactions, creating a level playing field for all players.

Crafting your ultimate squad is key in Skygard Arena. Assemble a team of three Champions (from nine and more to come throughout Early Access), choose one of their two distinct Personas that modify their gameplay experiences and skill sets, and adapt their power with game-changing Artifacts. Thousands of possibilities await to customize your squad to suit your strategy.

Engage in tactical skirmishes where every decision counts: position your Champions wisely, choose the perfect moment to unleash all your actions in one turn and turn the tide of battle in your favor. Compete for control of Pillars to gain strategic advantages, or risk everything with a bold assault on your opponent’s Main Pillar for an instant win. Every turn is packed with dynamic choices as you reposition your team with dash skills, strategic movements, or teleportation to outmaneuver your opponent and secure victory!

Adds three new game modes. Pre-order now for 15% off!

Bergen, Norway – October 31th, 2024 – D-Pad Studio, the developer behind the award-winning Owlboy, are pleased to announce that their acclaimed platforming shoot-’em-up Savant – Ascent REMIX is coming to Nintendo Switch™ on December 5th. Those who pre-order will receive a 15% discount off its $7.49 price tag. This Nintendo Switch release includes three new modes, which have also been added to the PC version since launch.

• Classic Mode: Progress through the tower, unlocking powerful abilities and artifacts. You can now grab enemies and absorb their powers, wielding powerful spells, hurling fireballs, and flinging meteors across the screen!
• Survival Mode: Expanded with new enemy waves and bosses. Push through to the game’s ultimate challenge, where the bosses unite in a devastating team attack when you reach the top!
• Time Attack: Blast through story mode or select a specific stage, showing the world you’re the fastest Alchemist out there!

Savant – Ascent REMIX began life as a remaster of the original title before D-Pad Studio got carried away by their enthusiasm and ended up creating a full blown sequel to the original title. Savant – Ascent REMIX takes the shoot-em-up platformer to new heights, with a host of new content that more than doubles the size of the original game. Venture through five stages, each with their own unique gimmick, across which you’ll have to battle Laser Sharks, robotic space invaders and even an immortal Samurai. To beat these new stages and take down the bosses at the end of each, you’ll have a new double jump, cancel-jump and mid-air powershots to add to your arsenal. There’s also a new endless Survival Mode, new difficulties modes – including a NES-style, no checkpoints Hardcore Mode – and 36 newly composed songs from acclaimed Norwegian musician Savant.

In Savant – Ascent REMIX, you play as the Alchemist, who’s been cast down from his tower by an unknown force. Your goal is to ascend back to the top, with your movement limited at all times to two platforms, be they moving elevators or space debris. By using rapid volleys of magic missiles to take out attacking enemies and precise dashes and jumps to move between the two platforms, you must try to survive the deadly journey back to the summit.

Savant – Ascent REMIX is the ultimate way to experience a musical artist’s persona as you’ve never done before! The game is based on the universe of Savant – developed in collaboration with Simon S. Andersen of D-Pad Studio (Owlboy/Vikings On Trampolines). Hear Savant’s unrivaled genre bending in action as you obtain new pieces of the soundtrack and remixes. The game even gives you the option to customise your own playlist as you play.

“Savant – Ascent REMIX allowed us carte blanche to go hog wild creating an intense, colorful wave of arcade action that would suit Savant’s bombastic riffs,” said D-Pad Studio’s Jo-Remi Madsen. “It’s been a blast to gradually add more game modes to this expanded remaster of our first game, and this Switch release offers a comprehensive archive of all the updates we’ve added over the past several years combined into one package!”

The inaugural title from mobile developer Marauder Tech Games will offer tournaments with real cash prizes.

Orlando, FL, 31 October 2024 | Independent AA mobile studio Marauder Tech Games is announcing their inaugural title, Price of Glory, coming soon to iOS and Android. This competitive, turn-based, strategy game introduces players to a unique tactical fantasy world with strategic challenges and cash prize opportunities.

Duel Head-to-Head

Welcome to Price of Glory, an asynchronous turn-based strategy game where players can compete for real rewards. Set in a medieval fantasy world of constant conflict, gear up for action and engage in strategic combat across arid deserts, dense forests, molten lava flows, and more. Price of Glory is a game of pure skill – with nothing up to chance. Players must carefully protect their stronghold against enemy forces while taking turns to advance into each other’s territory, overcome the opposing army, and destroy the enemy base to win. Clever positioning, effective attacks, and tactical foresight all play an important part in this strategy mobile title.

At Your Command

Lead your army to glory and choose from a diverse roster of factions and their associated units. Scouts help you see through the fog of war, enabling coordinated attacks from your soldiers, knights, and ranged units, while healers keep your troops alive. Unique generals customize your army, each offering a different playstyle through their special abilities. When facing down your enemy, carefully consider your next move as resources are limited. The game’s primary resource, Animo, is used for spawning new units, moving, attacking, and using special abilities. A very limited amount of Animo generates each turn, making every choice matter. Gameplay is asynchronous, meaning players can play when they have time, then check back later, with a standard 24-hour turn limit, or a blitz mode with 5-minute limits.

Play Your Way

Price of Glory offers a variety of challenges for every type of player. Boasting a “play how you want, when you want” style, the game’s asynchronous gameplay and various game modes cater to novice strategists and seasoned veterans alike. Are you looking to test a new strategy? The “Skirmish” quickplay mode drops players straight into the action. These one-off, low stakes matches are perfect for those looking to play casually. For serious competitors, tournaments up the ante, pitting four, eight, or more people against each other in a single-elimination bracket, with larger rewards.

Ripe With Opportunity

With sights set on developing a competitive scene, Price of Glory will offer two types of tournaments, Salt Tournaments and Cash Tournaments. Salt tournaments can be entered using Salt, the main in-game currency, and will give Salt and Salt Crystals as rewards. Conversely, Cash Tournaments will feature real money, with entry requirements offering real cash prizes for top placements. Salt Crystals can also be used to enter Cash Tournaments, giving every player the chance to earn their way to cash rewards through skill. A unique Dynasty system in the works will also offer all players an opportunity to earn additional rewards based on membership activity within their dynasty.

Gameplay Features:

• Asynchronous play encourages players to play how they want, when they want, giving them up to 24 hrs per turn, or 5 minutes when playing in blitz mode.
• Strategic gameplay challenges players to think outside the box as they manage Animo resources, control strategic tiles, and maneuver around various map layouts, in an effort to outsmart their opponent.
• Casual play is possible through the “Skirmish” quickplay game mode, one-off matches between players that provide Salt rewards, which can be used to enter Salt Tournaments, and eventually unlock cosmetic options
• Two tournament modes offer competitive play for those looking to up the ante, with a F2P option through Salt Tournaments, and Cash Tournaments for serious competitors.
• A Dynasty system rewards players for inviting friends and being active in-game to receive in-game benefits.

Price of Glory is coming to the iOS App Store and Google’s Play Store later this year with Open Alpha beginning November 7th. Pre-registration starts today on the Play Store and will provide players with a free entry into a $1,000 cash prize tournament. More information can be found on the game’s website, and eager players can join their community on Discord for sneak peeks, exclusive tournament codes, and more.

KYIV, UKRAINE — 31st October 2024: The original trilogy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, Shadow of Chornobyl (2007), Clear Sky (2008) and Call of Prypiat (2009), is now available on Nintendo Switch™. 

The games can be bought digitally on Nintendo eShop™ for 19.99 USD/19.99 EUR/15.99 GBP each and for 39.99 USD/39.99 EUR/32.99 GBP as a bundle. Regional prices are applied in selected territories.

• Shadow of Chornoby
• Clear Sky
• Call of Pripyat

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. takes place in a fictional Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The nuclear disaster at the Chernobyl Power Plant in 1986 wasn’t the only one to occur, as the second explosion hit the reactor in 2006, creating The Zone as we know it. It’s a dangerous place, filled with mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy.

Bounty hunters delve deep into the Zone, driven by its treasures and mysteries. Some of them are running from their past, others are blinded by money, and some are obsessed with finding the truth behind all the mysteries.

Investigate the Zone’s origins, taking on the roles of legendary stalkers and forging paths that can lead to different outcomes, based on your actions and decisions. Test your gumption while navigating through radioactive debris and anomalies, and put your reflexes to the trial during intense tactical gunfights. Traverse vast locations, saturated with Eastern European atmosphere and referenced from the real-life Chornobyl Exclusion Zone: the city of Prypiat, the Nuclear Station, the Jupiter plant, and many others. Solitude and desolation of these lands will be the only trustworthy companions on your foray into a dark science-fiction setting.

These versions of the classic games are fully optimized for Nintendo Switch, including, but not limited to, adapted shooting system with gyro aiming, touch interface and controls, refined visuals, and full handheld and TV mode support. Thanks to these changes, the experience in the Chornobyl Anomalous Zone will feel authentic for all players — both for those who want to refresh their memories and for new stalkers.

GSC worked closely with MATABOO to make this version happen and fully utilize the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch console.
