Gorgeous new 3D action platformer revealed for PC at Tokyo Games Show and Convergence Games Showcase

Tokyo, Japan – 26th September, 2024 – Japan-based publisher Kakehashi Games and the development team at Bandai Namco Studios Singapore are proud to reveal the gorgeous origami-inspired 3D action platformer, Hirogami.

From a development team comprised of industry veterans (with production, design and art credits on the likes of Ace Combat 7 and Tekken 7, among others), Hirogami invites players to a world where everything has been crafted to convey the physical, often fragile, nature of paper, amidst the backdrop of an invasion by a powerful digital force known as the Blight.

Hirogami will be coming to PC (Steam) in 2025, and you can check out the store page here.

In Hirogami, players will explore a beautiful origami world as Hiro, a fan-wielding master of the art of ‘folding’. They’ll explore every nook and cranny to discover hidden secrets, unfolding into a sheet of paper to ride fiery updrafts, or becoming a paper plane to traverse dangerous chasms.

Players will also discover new forms to help them traverse the world, solve puzzles, and best their foes. Roll through obstacles and enemies alike as a hardy armadillo, traverse the treetops and pound pests as a mighty ape, and leap to previously unreachable heights as a formidable frog.

And everything is encompassed in a soothing soundscape – composed using traditional Japanese instruments and styles – specially crafted to evoke the variety of themes, characters and settings of Hirogami.

Leamington Spa, UK – 26th September, 2024: Leading UK games publisher Kwalee is pleased to announce its partnership with UK-based independent developer MilkBubblesGames for the upcoming turn-based battler, GladiEATers. The game is set to release in 2025 for PC via Steam.

In GladiEATers, players can cook up a team of food-based monsters to command in turn-based battles and become champion of the CALosseum! Chop, fry, boil and bake your GladiEATers as one of eight Combat Chefs in singleplayer, or take the fight beyond the kitchen in online and ranked multiplayer matches. 

In single-player mode, players take part in a series of duels with other combat chefs and their teams of GladiEATers in the CALosseum, unlocking new Combat Chefs and GladiEATers, and progressing the story with each attempt. As events among the competitors (literally) shake the foundations of the CALosseum, game mechanics shift in unexpected ways, and players may even find themselves exploring beyond the stadium’s walls…

Every battle begins in the kitchen! Start with basic ingredients and cook against the clock to develop them into powerful creatures. With each mini-game, you’ll change your GladiEATers’ form and boost its stats, but it’s up to you to choose how to spend your time. Will you cook up a complex-but-powerful ratatouille or overwhelm your opponent with a massive serving of simple boiled eggs?

GladiEATers also features an endless roguelike mode with various run modifiers, as well as online VS and ranked multiplayer modes.

About GladiEATers

Welcome to the CALosseum! Combat Chefs with the power to cook sentient food monsters called GladiEATers have assembled to do battle, and only one can take the crown.

Cook your team in a snappy series of bite-sized minigames, then command your culinary creations in turn-based battles. Follow a diverse cast of characters, each with their own specialities, in single-player mode, then test your talent as a Combat Chef against friends and strangers online!

COOK YOUR TEAM

Every battle begins in the kitchen! Start with basic ingredients and cook against the clock to develop them into powerful creatures. With each mini-game, you’ll change your GladiEATers’ form and boost its stats, but it’s up to you to choose how to spend your time. Will you cook up a complex-but-powerful ratatouille or overwhelm your opponent with a massive serving of simple boiled eggs?

With your team plated up, it’s time to do battle in deep turn-based combat, with up to six GladiEATers per side and 150+ unique hand-animated abilities. Crush your opponents with courgettes, bash them with bread, and obliterate them with an orbital guacamole strike that’ll make them say ‘hey, that’s not how guacamole works.’ With each victory, you’ll discover diverse recipes, unlock new Combat Chefs, and rise through the ranks of the competition.

CRACK THE CAL-OSSEUM

Choose your Combat Chef and fight a series of spicy showdowns to become champion of the CALosseum in single player mode. As events among the competitors (literally) shake the foundations of the CALosseum, you may even find yourself exploring beyond the stadium’s walls…

Ready to test your skills in the real world? Take the fight to your friends with online VS modes and rise through the culinary ranks against the world in online ranked battles!

BECOME THE CHAMPION

The CAL Particle changed everything! As sentient food became a possibility, nations began to settle their differences through culinary combat in the CALosseum.

Follow a diverse cast of characters in this tale of cooking and conflict. The game features 60+ GladiEATers cookable by 8 Combat Chefs, all lovingly rendered in gorgeous pixel artwork. A pun-flinging egg farmer, a monolingual Finnish baker (and his best friend) and at least one secret agent will battle for victory, develop as chefs, and maybe even make a few friends along the way.
