Tense Exploration, Party Management, Realtime Battles And Basebuilding Offer A Unique Postapocalyptic Mix

Oberhaching, Germany, August 21, 2024 – Polish development team Angry Bulls Studio and Toplitz Productions jointly announce a publishing deal for the open world action game Survive The Fall.

With a planned release in the first half of 2025, the highly anticipated Survive The Fall is one of the most promising new entries in the genre of isometric action. Spearheaded by a team based real-time fighting system, the ambitious game also adds a captivating story with memorable characters, roleplaying elements, extensive party management as well as a deep basebuilding feature with an expansive research tech tree.

“We are very happy to have Toplitz Productions as a publishing partner in our corner.” says Michal Luszcz, CEO at Angry Bulls Studio. “Being able to tap into the wide-ranging experience that Toplitz brings to the table, will make a big difference for both the development and the publishing of Survive The Fall. We are looking forward to a successful partnership.” 

Powered by Unreal technology, players get drawn into a beautifully designed, yet challenging and dangerous world devastated by a meteor strike that pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Opposing factions fight for dominance, while you divide your time between expeditions on one side, where you collect resources, fight enemies as well as wildlife and try to find allies to rebuild society and extensive base building on the other, aiming to construct a safe haven for all who want to join you on your cause. Prepare your team for the dangers lurking in the handcrafted levels with the help of a deep crafting system. Manage and rest your injured characters, so you can utilize their unique abilities in the field to the fullest extent.

Lead your party on expeditions, where you have the choice to utilize a stealthy approach to surprise both enemies and wildlife. Or go on an all-out-attack leveraging the realtime fight system, where you can pause time to give your teammates orders and use the environment to your tactical advantage.

After a successful showing at Steam Next Fest in February 2024, Survive The Fall garnered critical acclaim, when it was a finalist at the prestigious Indie Showcase of this years’ annual Digital Dragons event.

We can also reveal that Survive The Fall will be shown at gamescom at the Toplitz Productions Booth in the Business Area Hall 4.1, C029g – D038g, where media and influencers can take a look at the game. 

More details on Survive The Fall can be found on the official Steam product page, where the game can be already wishlisted.

This puzzle adventure video game will be released on PC and Mac in 2025

Paris, August 21 2024 – ARTE and the Swing Swing Submarine studio are proud to announce their new 3D adventure and puzzle video game Looking for Fael, which will be available on PC and Mac via Steam in 2025.
 
This new creation from the Swing Swing Submarine studio, published by ARTE, promises players a nostalgic, fantastic and surrealistic experience. Inspired by puzzle games such as Myst, The Witness and Fez, and taking influences from 90s fantasy cinema, Looking for Fael offers a unique universe with its own rules.
 
The player will have to find Fael, a friend who has left him a disturbing phone message explaining that he has lost his way in his own flat. The player quickly ventures into a surreal maze of flats. The only way to navigate through this labyrinth is to understand its logic. That means getting lost in turn: exploring, examining, experimenting, and trying to discover the true nature of these places.

To open all the doors and corridors, and access certain rooms, players will have to work their brains out and solve numerous mysteries, using the GameLeaf, an intriguing retro portable console to help them complete the levels. Each game is a piece of the puzzle that brings players closer to the truth about Fael’s disappearance.

Experimentation is at the heart of the experience, and players will need to be very attentive and interact with the setting, as every detail is important, from photo frames to seemingly uninteresting furniture, everything can be a clue to solve a puzzle. The world of the flat is full of surprises, and players will have to think outside the box to progress. As they solve Fael’s mysterious disappearance, players will also have to question the very nature of reality.

Animals get cuter, more varied and the weather more challenging: Showing off the upcoming agricultural sim at gamescom, publisher and developer GIANTS Software reveals new features for Farming Simulator 25. Attendees visiting the games fair in Cologne can play-test the game from August 21st to 25th in hall 6. GIANTS Software is also present in the business area (hall 4.2).

• Two new animal types: water buffaloes and goats
• Animals get offspring, cute baby animals roam the pens
• Weather events with twisters and hail bear new challenges

Weather Shift: Twisters with a Chance of Hail

When virtual farmers see darkening clouds in the sky, it could be a sign of some serious weather on the way. Expecting a light twister or hail to touch down in a few areas, they need to take precautions and secure any unroofed bales. While the skies will clear and the new weather events will pass, they always carry the chance of destroying a portion of fields and forests. Players can deactivate the destruction of crops if they like their yield untouched by the weather.

Cuteness Upgrade for Animal Husbandry

With water buffaloes and goats, new animal types fill the pens, producing new types of milk that can be processed and used in production chains to acquire and distribute fine cheeses. Increasing the cuteness factor and fluffiness of the fur, animals produce offspring. Wobbling on their tiny legs at first, animal farmers watch them grow into productive livestock.

Farming Simulator 25 will be released on PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 12th. It features 25 crops, including new additions like rice and spinach, 400+ authentic vehicles and tools as well as 150 real-world brands. Pre-orders are available now at select retailers.
