C-Smash VRS New Dimension is coming to BitSummit Drift – before bringing hybrid online play to PS5 and PS VR2 on 26 / 09 / 2024

KYOTO, JAPAN, July 2024 – RapidEyeMovers will offer the first ever public demo of its hotly anticipated PS5 game ‘C-Smash VRS New Dimension’ at BitSummit Drift 2024 [Booth E-05].

Built on top of its PS VR2 predecessor, C-Smash VRS New Dimension comes to PlayStation 5 as a 3rd person futuristic sports action title, with tons of new gameplay mechanics, animations and visual upgrades, as well as revolutionary hybrid online play between PS5 and PS VR2 players.

Players will be able to choose how they want to play the game – whether it’s from the comfort of their couch, handheld on PlayStation Portal, or fully immersed in PS VR2 – and play across screens and headsets: PS5 vs PS5, PS5 vs PS VR2 or PS VR2 vs PS VR2.

First released as a PlayStation VR2 launch window title, followed by Meta Quest and Pico in April 2024, C-Smash VRS has continued expanding at an astonishing pace, with new updates and additions, including the brand-new, mega popular ‘Time Attack’ mode.

Developed by Wolf & Wood and produced by RapidEyeMovers, C-Smash VRS New Dimension will be a free PS5 upgrade for all PSVR2 owners to the PlayStation 5 game. New PS5 owners of C-Smash VRS New Dimension will receive the PSVR2 version for free, as well.

“I’m excited to be returning to Kyoto,” says RapidEyeMovers Director Jörg Tittel. “It feels like a homecoming. We first reimagined SEGA’s Dreamcast and arcade classic Cosmic Smash for VR and versus gameplay and showcased it at BitSummit 2023. Now we’re returning to the game’s roots and native Japan. I look forward to making our labour of love available to millions of PS5 players in late summer.”

“It is exciting to know our first big, preview of C-Smash VRS New Dimension is going to give players a sample of what we have been working on,” says Ryan Bousfield, Creative Director at Wolf & Wood, “I hope New Dimension will invoke the feeling and pure playability of the original Cosmic Smash and other similar games from that era.”

Combining a low-gravity form of squash with timed block-breaking challenges, C-Smash VRS New Dimension brings together the very best of racket sports and timeless action puzzle gameplay. Dashing, jumping, and diving from one side to the other, players perform intense shots and power smashes in intense levels across time and space, accompanied by amazing music.

Players can either play alone or forge a cosmic connection with a friend, exploring a variety of online versus modes including Journey, Infinity mode, Co-Op, Time Attack and more – and, for the first time in a sports game, have VR players on PS VR2 compete with non-VR players on PS5.

Original tracks by Ken Ishii (Rez Infinite) and synth master Danalogue (front man of The Comet is Coming and Soccer 96) – as well as UNKLE – bring a pulse to the game’s striking environments.

C-Smash VRS New Dimension will release on PlayStation 5 on the 26th September 2024 as a free update to the multiple award-nominated and Digital Foundry’s VR Game of the Year, C-Smash VRS for PS VR2.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age Reveals New Character Ahead of Annual Evo Fighting Game Tournament

Maximum Entertainment will return to Evo July 19 – July 21 with their innovative fighting game launching this year

Walnut Creek, CA (July 18, 2024) – Developer and global publisher Maximum Entertainment today announced a new character joining the fight in Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age, the 2v2 co-op fighting game releasing later this year: Damkina, a cat-scratching, high heel-wearing goddess of the Silver Screen. Additionally, a second new character named Saga was teased in today’s all-new trailer.

Wishlist Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1959140/Diesel_Legacy_The_Brazen_Age/

According to rumors, Damkina’s origins are ancient and obscure. Some speculate that she is much older than she appears, suggesting a connection to a bygone era or perhaps even mythical origins. The tabloids and conspiracy theorists thrive on such ambiguity, weaving tales of her supernatural longevity. In confrontations, Damkina relies not only on her formidable personality but on her physical prowess and fearsome fighting style. She also possesses what some believe to be a magical jewel known as the Eye of Sēth. This artifact is more than just a prop; it holds significant power, although its true nature and abilities remain enigmatic. Players attending this weekend’s Evo fighting game tournament in Las Vegas can try out Damkina’s powerful combos from Friday, July 19 through Sunday, July 21.

A sneak peek into the next full reveal, Saga, was also teased today. A towering giant with a jovial smile, her massive frame and power-lifting strength make her a force to be reckoned with in any combat situation. Raised by her adoptive circus family, Saga can bend steel rebar like a swizzle stick, so imagine what she can do to you. More information about Saga and the remaining cast of Diesel Legacy characters will be shared soon.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age takes the classic fighting game formula and flips it on its head by placing 2v2 local and online co-op matches front and center in the arena. The game features distinctly unique playable characters, multiple varied stages and an innovative three-lane system, offering several methods of attack for each team all against a hand-drawn Dieselpunk backdrop.

Thanks to RealMatch™ rollback netcode, matches are virtually lag-free, making each punch feel seamless in each online match. Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age also features a comprehensive training and story mode for players to refine their skills against AI opponents.

Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age will launch on PC, PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch later this year.

VAMPIRE THERAPIST LAUNCHES TODAY! 

Your tutor is a 3000-year-old vampire: take a seat on his couch and just relax… be yourself

Berlin, Germany — July 18, 2024 | What do the undead have to worry about? How do they deal with the challenges of immortality? And what would a 3,000-year-old vampire do if not live atop a gothic nightclub in Europe? Well, these questions and many more are about to be answered in Vampire Therapist!

Created by and starring Cyrus Nemati (Dionysus in Hades), he is joined by voice actors Matt Mercer (Critical Role), Sarah Grayson (Hades 2), Francesca Meaux (Hades) and newcomer Kylie Clark, to bring these eccentric vampires to life. 

Launching today on Steam and GoG, players will step into the boots of Sam, a cowboy from the Old West who is looking to change his murderous ways and connect with what’s left of his soul. Looking for answers in his immortality, Sam travels to Europe and is taken under the (bat)wing of reformed assassin, warrior and undead heartthrob Andromachos.

Together, they help blood-sucking immortals realise that just because they’re dead, it doesn’t mean they can’t live. All of the techniques discussed and used in Vampire Therapist have been created in consultation with licensed therapists to give the game an authentic message.

Inspired by the likes of What We Do in the Shadows and Horrible Histories, Vampire Therapist merges this comedic style with deep, introspective subject matters and heartfelt characters and real-life historical personalities.  

Lovingly crafted by solo developer Cyrus Nemati, Vampire Therapist promises to take players on a unique journey through the psychology of vampirism that will leave them changed forever!
