0

Bid, win and sell to make it to the top in simulator inspired by shows like Storage Wars and Auction Hunters coming to Early Access

Warsaw, Poland – 19th September, 2024 – Raccoons Studios and co-publisher BeardedBrothers.Games are pleased to announce that Storage Hunter Simulator will be releasing on Steam Early Access on October 10th. Storage Hunter Simulator is a garage auction simulation game inspired by cult TV shows like Storage Wars and Auction Hunters. Bid, win and then sell for profit as you work your way up from the bottom to become the king or queen of the storage auction.

Take risks and fight for garages amongst fierce competition as you compete with other bidders to find hidden treasures that will help you turn a profit. There are thousands of unique items to discover, which you’ll have to properly identify before they can be valued for sale, with a series of experts healing you out to value your rarer items, until your business grows enough for you to obtain the tools to value them yourself.

As you build your auction empire, you will eventually get the opportunity to purchase your own pawnshop that you can upgrade over time. With increased shelf space, the option to choose a specialisation for your shop and the ability to hire an employee to automate the process, your pawnshop will help you turn ever greater profits for your growing business.

Grow your renown in different districts to receive benefits and discounts, take risks on locked containers that might contain treasure or trash and manage your resources efficiently as you invest in tools, upgrades and employees. It’s up to you to manage your resources effectively to maximise your earnings and balance the need for short-term profits with long-term investments if you are successfully to go from rags to riches!

“We’re really excited about bringing Storage Hunter Simulator to Early Access on October 10th and we hope everyone will check out our new release date trailer and consider wishlisting us on Steam,” said Łukasz Skrzypkowski, Chairman of the Board for Raccoons Studios and BeardedBrothers.Games. “We’ve got a lot of plans for Storage Hunter Simulator during its’ time in Early Access, but I think what we are most looking forward to is hearing what the community thinks and incorporating their feedback into the game.”

Brighton, UK – 19 September 2024 – FuturLab and Square Enix Collective® are excited to announce that the next paid DLC PowerWash Simulator Shrek Special Pack will launch on October 10, 2024 on PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch.

About Shrek Special Pack

Equipped with your trusty array of Power Washers, it’s your quest to bring this world back to its vibrant, fairy tale glory. Some of you may get wet, but that is a sacrifice we’re willing to make. So, what exactly will you be washing?

  • Shrek’s Swamp – Restore Shrek’s Swamp to its former *ahem*  glory  after being covered in glittery goop in this super-satisfying, high-contrast clean-up. You can even go inside his home, and marvel at the incredible attention to detail paid to making it feel authentic to the movies. Well, after you’ve cleaned up all the gunk, of course.
  • Duloc – In Duloc, you’ll discover a collection of art left behind by some disgruntled (but artistically gifted) knights.
  • Fairy Godmother’s Potion Factory – This iconic location from Shrek 2 has been meticulously recreated, complete with working machines. It’s down to you to de-gunk them, you wouldn’t want to gum up the inner workings of the Fairy Godmother’s potion empire, would you?
  • Dragon’s Lair – This glittering hoard is not so shiny anymore – cue your arrival! As you clean it, you’ll discover more than just gold and gems – you’ll also reveal some tasty details for fans of the Shrek universe.
  • Hansel’s Honeymoon Hideaway – This candy-coated cottage has seen better days. Bring it back to its gingerbread glory in this deliciously detailed job. 

As you play and spray, you’ll receive messages from some familiar faces and, in usual PowerWash fashion, the campaign is playable with a friend in co-op, or up to six players in free play. That means you can wash up late sharing manly stories, and in the morning one of you can make waffles.

FREEDOM WARS REMASTERED BRINGS THE HIT PLAYSTATION VIA ACTION GAME TO PC AND CONSOLES COMING JANUARY 2025

0

A World Depleted of Resources Forces Humanity into Panopticons, Sprawling Prisons Where Freedom Comes Only from the Battlefield

A million-year prison sentence is the price to pay for living. In a dystopian future, the world is ravaged by pollution and depleted of natural resources, and humanity lives in sprawling prison complexes called Panopticons. Bandai Namco Europe will publish FREEDOM WARS REMASTERED, the cult classic action game originally released on PlayStation®Vita, for current-gen platforms early next year.

Set in a nightmarish future where anyone born into this hellscape are deemed “Sinners,” players seek their freedom by volunteering for extremely dangerous combat operations to compete with other Panopticons for what remains of the planet’s dwindling resources. The remastered title will bring enhancements including 4K resolution, upgraded textures, and 60fps for current gen platforms, and is slated for release on January 10, 2025, on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4 and PC via Steam®. For more information, visit <INSERT LINK>

Choose to die in prison or live on the battlefield by watching the FREEDOM WARS REMASTERED announcement trailer below

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE GAME

In the distant future, humanity is in a struggle to survive. Pollution has devastated the planet, and the remnants of humanity are divided amongst city-sized prisons called Panopticons. So scarce are resources that living itself is a crime and those born are immediately given a million years of prison time. Dubbed “Sinners” the only option other than awaiting death in prison is to fight for freedom with allies for resources, to rescue citizens from abduction by rival enemies, or take up arms against other enemy Sinners.

FREEDOM WARS REMASTERED brings enhancements such as 4K resolution, upgraded textures, and 60fps performance on PlayStation and PC, an overhauled weapon crafting system and other game play upgrades, as well as adding difficulty settings. In gameplay that stays true to the widely acclaimed original, players must venture forth into combat to survive. Fortunately, they are given Thorn weapons to help traverse the world and subdue enemies. Thorns allow for fluid three-dimensional movement by jumping and grabbing onto terrain. Players can choose weapons with unique abilities to either set traps, provide healing or increase defense. Thorns can also subdue enemies, even severing limbs or arms for additional resources. As players try to reduce their prison sentence, materials scrounged or taken from fallen enemies on the battlefield can be used to upgrade weapons.

The Panopticon is its own entity – players will come to understand and navigate through their prison environment and use Entitlement Points earned from volunteering for combat to claim new rights from their wardens, such as the ability to run for five seconds or to recline while seated. The wardens are fully customizable android accessories that can even accompany players into battle under their ever-watchful eyes. The Panopticon’s community of prisoners will be crucial to survival…missions support up to 4 Sinners either AI-controlled NPCs or with other players in online co-op. Band together to take on more difficult combat missions, and gradually reduce the million years of incarceration in a life-or-death fight for freedom.
