Throughout the event, players can pick up the smash-hit rogue-lite Dead Cells with a 50% discount and celebrate new announcements for both the Dead Cells world and the upcoming, highly anticipated Early Access launch of Windblown. 

Calling All Leapers – Windblown Release Date and Limited-Time Single-Player Demo Coming Soon

Windblown, the upcoming fast-paced rogue-lite by the creators of Dead Cells, launches in Early Access on Steam Oct. 24, 2024. Players will soon dash with speed through vast, ever-changing islands in the sky as they use a variety of powerful weapons and gear to destroy the Sentinels – deadly minions of the Vortex that threatens their home. Playable in both single player and with up to three players in co-operative online multiplayer, fans won’t have to wait long to dive into this original world where build synergy and fast reflexes are key to success. 

Featuring unique biomes teeming with secrets and challenging adversaries, players will build their Leaper using dozens of different Weapons, Trinkets, Gifts and Fish to unleash their full potential and destroy the Sentinels… or die trying. Every death is a new beginning, as the Leaper’s mission is not over, learning from their mistakes, discovering new Memories to unlock even more build options in their arsenal and trying just one more run. 

Players won’t have to wait until Oct. 24 to dive into Windblown though, as a new single player demo will be available during the upcoming Steam Next Fest, running Oct. 14 through Oct. 21. Players can take their first dashes through the opening stages of the game and try a sample of what the Early Access launch will offer, with their progression carrying over into the game on Oct. 24. Additionally, players who try out the demo will unlock an exclusive Guinea Pig skin for their character in the Early Access release, befitting their role as an early tester of the game’s countless challenges ahead. 

Finally, fans can also tune in to the official Motion Twin YouTube channel this week to watch members of the development team play the game live, showing a new look at the game and testing their skills within the Vortex (and trying not to die in the process). Stream times and details will be announced soon on the official Windblown social channels. 

Animated Series and Board Game Updates for Dead Cells Fans  La Motion Week also celebrates new updates on previously announced Dead Cellsprojects, meaning fans of The Beheaded have even more to look forward to in the very near future. 

Fans keen to explore more of the game’s universe following the recent release of Update 35 The End is Near can now watch the first episode of the English dub of Dead Cells: Immortalis, the animated series directed and produced by the studio Bobby Pills and the streaming platform ADN, in collaboration with Motion Twin and Evil Empire, from Oct. 8.

Additional details about the release of the full series will be revealed soon on the official Motion Twin social media channels. 

Additionally, fans can also look forward to the upcoming release of Dead Cells: The Rogue-Lite Board Game, coming to select retailers Nov. 8 in France, Belgium, Switzerland, UK, United States, Canada, and Australia with Spain and China’s localized versions also coming next year. In this novel take on the Dead Cells formula, up to four players can each play as one of the four Beheaded and leap into a co-operative rogue-lite experience. 

Players will explore a sprawling island, starting with the Prisoners’ Quarters, and slash their way through the malaise-infected horde of enemies all the way up to the High Peak Castle to defy the infamous Hand of the King… or die trying.  The board game invites players to rediscover iconic biomes, monsters and weapons like never before, with completely reimagined visuals. In this unique board game adaptation, each run takes you further as every death makes you stronger. Players can unlock hundreds of weapons, mutations and skills in a game as rich and rewarding as the video game. Explore. Kill. Die. Mutate. Repeat.

Götterdämmerung Expansion Transforms German Strategy

STOCKHOLM – 03 October 2024 – Thought crippled by the settlement of the last war, a strong Germany has returned as the axis of power in Central Europe. This strength only heightens the resentment for what is thought to have been a historic injustice. But history is not written in stone. What path will Germany take in your hands? Can you revitalize socialist resistance to the Fascist regime? Will German might take its shape under a revived monarchy? Brace yourself for the gathering storm and write a new history of the world’s most dangerous years in Götterdämmerung, a new expansion for Hearts of Iron IV, coming on November 14.

This addition to Paradox Interactive’s popular strategic wargame focuses on the key player of the Second World War – the Germany Reich. Through new National Focus Trees, people can steer this great power through years of armed struggle against ideological foes. This expansion also revises special research projects – like rocketry and atomic weapons – and offers new combat options.

Features of Hearts of Iron IV: Götterdämmerung include:

• Larger German Focus Tree: Revised national focuses and alternate historical paths for one of the most played nations in Hearts of Iron IV. Revised political paths include new monarchist content, a restored democratic Germany and alternate fascist militarist paths. More character driven events add flavor to the war’s central player.
• Revised Austrian Focus Tree: New alternate histories for Austria free of German control, as well as content for surrounding countries that were once part of the Habsburg Empire. There is also a revised historical path for AI controlled Austria.
• Hungarian Focus Tree: Rebuild the nation, using technology to overcome manpower shortages. Reform the Austro-Hungarian Empire and forge a powerful, unified faction.
• Belgian Focus Tree: Resist or welcome German supremacy. Draw on the natural wealth of the Congo and build potential for an African government-in-exile.
• Special Projects: Build scientific facilities to pursue advanced research in special projects, assigning scientists to further your war effort. Special projects include nuclear physics, advanced aircraft, rocketry, advanced tanks and artillery, naval engineering and electronics.
• Raids: Attack important enemy targets with carefully planned strikes. Enemy ports, industrial structures, research facilities and special resource collection areas are potential targets for bombing strikes, commando raids or paratroop attacks.
• And more: Including, changes to the map art to show new structures, AI players better at planning attacks, changes to the use and effectiveness of atomic warfare, and deeper city combat.

Hearts of Iron IV: Götterdämmerung will be available on 14 November 2024 for the suggested retail price of $24.99/£21.99/€24.99. Götterdämmerung is also available through the Hearts of Iron IV Expansion Pass 1, which includes other game content, including a country pack to be released next year, at a 20% discount for included items.

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.
