Hell of an Office Celebrates Grand Opening on PC with New Campaign and Level Editor

Corporate hellscape speedrunner now available on Steam, console versions coming Q4 2024

SHERMAN OAKS, Cali. – Oct. 3, 2024 – Downtrodden workers of the underworld, rejoice: Hell of an Office, the satanic speedrunning first-person platformer set in a corporate hellscape from developer 43 Studios and publisher Joystick Ventures, earns a promotion from Steam Early Access to Full Release on PC today at 10:00 AM PDT with the debut of the level editor, new levels, and new campaign. Employees at the branch offices on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 & 5 will start work later in Q4 2024.

Escape before you end up as a burnt-out employee at HellO, the underworld’s premiere purveyor of office supply products. With only your trusty, flaming staple-blasting stapler and clip-on necktie grappling hook to rely on, blaze through devilish traps like laser beams, spiked walls, razor-sharp saw blades, and negative annual performance reviews from the CEO of Hades himself: Mr. Satan.

With the new campaign, you’ll discover how HellO’s employees ended up burnt out just like you will… if you don’t manage to conquer the 100 new challenging levels across 10 layers of Hell itself, which will either lead you to climb the corporate ladder or be consumed by overwork, burnout and lava. 

But if you’re one of those employees who enjoys working overtime, with the PC-exclusive Level Editor with Steam Workshop support, you will no longer be a rigid-thinking employee; now you can think outside the box and unleash your creativity by designing your own levels, complete with all the craziest mechanics and iconic features of the game.

“We’re expecting everyone in Hell to be a real team player and give 110% while they’re here,” says 43 Studios. “We’re thrilled to see our dream game, which started as a college project and now incorporates everything we love about our favorite platformers.”

Hell of an Office launches today at 10:00 AM PDT for PC via Steam. Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 & 5 versions will arrive later this year, along with Epic Games Store and GOG versions for PC.  For more information on Hell of an Office, please visit the official website.

East meets West as Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games announce ambitious co-publishing partnership aimed at bringing the best Chinese and Western games to a global audience

Check out Border Pioneer and Stray Path at Steam Next Fest 

Bristol, United Kingdom — October 4, 2024 | Two leading indie publishers are joining forces to provide a one-stop publishing operation for independent developers. 

Yogscast Games, publisher of brilliant indie hits such as PlateUp! and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers, and Gamersky Games, one of China’s most influential games media, community platforms and digital publisher in its own right, have joined forces to provide global publishing support for independent developers. 

The aim of the relationship is simple:  utilise local expertise to ensure games benefit from global representation, no matter where they originate. The first two titles to pioneer this agreement are Border Pioneer and Stray Path – two games which have been developed in China, but with huge potential outside of their home turf.

Border Pioneer, developed by Yahzj Games is a pixel-style city-building game with survival, deckbuilding and tower defense elements set for release later this year. Stray Path, from chx games, is an adventure and strategy game combining traditional Freecell gameplay with roguelike card mechanics, which will release in the coming months. 

“We’ve been working with Gamersky in an informal capacity for some time,” says Simon Byron, MD, Yogscast Games. “I’ve always admired their work – in terms of being able to move the needle within China and beyond, they’re the best. But having flirted with each other for a while, it’s time to make it official, so we’re delighted to formalise our co-publishing relationship starting with these two launches. Border Pioneer and Stray Path are very much Yogscast Games games – and we can’t wait to help bring them to a global audience.”

“We’ve supported Yogscast Games’ releases in China for a couple of years now and have really enjoyed working with the team and in particular their games, which have been of consistently high quality,” adds Brandon Zhang, director, Gamersky Games. “Being able to work together on global launches will ensure we’re able to deliver global campaigns with regional expertise – and we look forward to adding more titles to our joint portfolio.”

Border Pioneer and Stray Path will be featured as part of Steam’s October Next Fest. For more information and to Wishlist for further updates, check out Border Pioneer on Steam here and Stray Path here

KEY FEATURES

  • Refine your build – Acquire ‘Sols’ (in-game power-ups) by defeating enemies and roaming a rich world of hidden mysteries, and spend them on tailoring your playstyle. Change your loadout and stats at designated ‘bonfires’ as much as you want in order to adapt to the challenges you will face.
  • Explore a world teeming with secrets – Enter a dark, abstract fantasy with non-verbal narration and extensive lore to discover. Unveil secret shortcuts, hidden items, and reveal what led this world to be plunged into darkness.
  • Face formidable foes – the perfect gateway to the souls-like genre, Void Sols features a range of difficulty sliders to ease you into the game or to challenge even the toughest souls-like veterans. Turn the tides in your favour by using the enemy’s own traps against them, exploit their weaknesses, and gain temporary allies.

Priced at £16.99/$19.99/€19.99 for the standard edition, there will also be a digital Deluxe Edition featuring Soundtrack, Art Book, and Companion Guide priced at £20.99/$24.99/€24.99.

Copenhagen, Denmark, October 3rd, 2024 – IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind the internationally acclaimed HITMAN franchise shares today an update on how players have been fairing in their attempts to take down the Drop.

Most of the agents who have completed the mission have chosen to make things personal, as the preferred method of elimination was to take him out was using melee, with 33% opting for this route. The Drop also may want to stay away from workshop tools, as the favourite weapon used against him was the screwdriver. You can find more statistics regarding players’ preferred tactics to complete The Drop below:

Alongside The Drop Elusive Target, IO Interactive released The Drop Pack, a DLC that includes: The Base, which grants permanent access to The Drop through the Elusive Target Arcade mode, The Club Boom DJ suit, a set of cosmetics for the Freelancer Safehouse, as well as three items.
