Revamped Co-op Action Roguelike ‘Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate’ Hops over to PlayStation 5 and Steam August 12

Available as a free update for Xbox and Epic Games Store players, boasting better graphics and new classes

BROOKLYN, NY — July 15, 2024 — Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate, a director’s cut of the co-op sci-fi action roguelike from developer Moving Pieces Interactive, restores harmony to troubled planets on PlayStation 5 and Steam on Monday, August 12. 

Return to a vivid remaster in Ultimate. Enjoy boosted graphics with a shiny new upgrade to Unreal Engine 5, ready up for more chaotic combat with a higher on-screen enemy count, wackier game-breaking builds with new class options, and much more.

Embark on a roguelike ride through a galaxy plagued by the chaos-seeking forces of Entropy as fast friends Froggie and GERM. Unleash Froggie’s amphibious shooting skills and GERM’s samurai swordplay concurrently on ruthless aliens and bosses. Take out the invaders and prevent the heat death of the universe!

Charge into battle as both heroes, wielding a satisfying, fast-paced blend of melee and ranged combat against alien dragons, psychic slimes, skittish snipers, and other challengers. Change the pace and team up with a buddy to each take control of one hero in Best Friend mode, or invite a squadron of up to four to the battle in online co-op.

Become gloriously overpowered thanks to extensive loot collections from downed bosses. Experiment with abilities, weapons, and classes to create millions of different combinations making each run unique. Set off explosively colorful combos by synchronizing equippable skills like glowing grenades, grappling hooks, holographic decoys, and more!

“We’ve come a long way since the original Shoulders of Giants launched,” said Kyle Erf, Technical Director at Moving Pieces Interactive. “Ultimate’s upgrades bring our passion project to the next level, aligning it closer to our vision. The graphics are sharper than ever, and we’re unveiling some new enemy tech that lets us get many times more creatures on screen than at launch. We hope the community journeys back to our handcrafted galaxy and sees what we’ve done with the place!”

Shoulders of Giants: Ultimate will bring the fight against Entropy to PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on Monday, August 12 for $19.99 USD with Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese language support.

Bootstrap Island Opens the Overlord’s Lair This Fall

London, UK, 15th July 2024 – Bootstrap Island, the stunning castaway adventure that was released via Steam Early Access in February is preparing its next major update. Adding exciting new content and features for all of you budding survivors, the update is scheduled to land on our shores this fall. 

Known for its rich visuals and interactive survival mechanics, Bootstrap Island is set to challenge players even more with the addition of its first boss encounter. Inside the new Dark Lair, players will discover the fearsome Jungle Overlord who they’ll have to defeat before progressing further. Doing so will allow players to stomp deeper into the jungle like never before with new vital footwear. Equipping these increases walking and running speed, helpful for getting into (and out of) trouble.

Furthermore, the fall update offers a wealth of gameplay and Quality of Life improvements. New edible critters will become available to aid survivability and enrich the experience, whilst the very real-world problem of spoiling food challenges players to maintain their cooking skills.  

“We are happy to offer a first real challenge for the talented survivors who have already mastered the basics of “Bootstrap Island”. The first boss monster in the game will be a massive beast, but he is also agile and cunning,” says Rein Zobel, Creative Director, Maru VR. Defeating him will require skill and planning, as ill-equipped players will only find death in his dark lair.”

KEY FEATURES

  • Boss Monster – A fearsome primate is blocking the way to deeper inland
  • Deep Jungle – A new area where the boss is ruling, ravaged by earthquakes
  • New and revamped Critters – More ways to interact with small critters and new small edible animals
  • QOL Improvements:
    • Spoiling – Food will spoil over time unless it is cooked
    • Boots – Equip boots to increase walking and running speed
    • Save – A save icon will now appear

This will be the second major update for Bootstrap Island since its Steam Early Access launch. In June, developer Maru VR Productions released the Building and Inventory update. This allowed players to construct shelters and customise them, protecting them from nighttime dangers. Additionally, a new inventory management system added a handy satchel to help in the collection of vital resources.

Maru VR Productions will be holding demos of Bootstrap Island during Gamescom in Cologne, Germany in August.

Mabinogi’s Two-Part Chapter 8: Generation 26 – Winds of Fate Update Adds All-New New Events, Quests and Rewards

LOS ANGELES – July 12, 2024 – Mabinogi, Nexon’s free-to-play fantasy MMORPG, has launched the first part of its two-part update with Chapter 8: Generation 26 – Winds of Fate.

With multiple divine beasts appearing throughout Uladh, Etain and Eirawen make a secret pact to overcome the crisis by working together and recruiting four mercenaries to resolve the situation:

  • Delga, who was once part of a mercenary group, now wanders Uladh alone. She might appear to be slight but her confident eyes burn with blue flame and determination. Delga traces the path of her future endlessly.
  • Aine began her career for the money like many mercenaries but the difference is she actually cares about people and is a force for good in chaotic times. Aine left the group to fight the Divine Beast’s threat, and a few followed in her footsteps.
  • Declan has strong intuition and years of experience. Although his cheerful personality unites others around him and makes Declan indispensable, his smile is concealing his difficult past and the rough road ahead.
  • Seafra leads a life without curiosity, desire, or aspiration. God has never given him much, so all that matters is the little warmth he is given now.

Milletians can take part in the Summer Master Plan event through September 12, participate in weekly training from the mercenaries, and receive the following rewards:

  • Buffs for character growth such as 2x AP, 2x Skill Training, 2x Briogh for Techniques, and 2x Stardust 
  • Increased effects for weapon and gear growth including Erg and Echostones
  • Serpent outfit sets and other newly added cosmetic items and consumable items 
  • Weekly Hotday gifts every week on Saturday and Sunday during the event period as well as Rebirth Potions

The update also features the Black Combo Card Special Mission Event where players can participate in daily missions to gain Combo Card points and Combo Card fragments used to modify the Incomplete Black Combo Card, an item received during the event. Players can focus on their character’s growth by becoming a top-secret agent during the event and they can customize their own Black Combo Card to assist in battle while they simultaneously uncover the mystery behind Generation 26. This event will allow for options to be selected using gold and points to receive a guaranteed value when building the card. Improvements have been made to the Special Mission such as shortened monster waves and when replacing skills on the Combo Card, players can now pick the skill they want. 

Part II of Chapter 8: Generation 26 – Winds of Fate kicks off on August 8. 

In the update, players can enjoy Moonlight Island where they create a unique lifestyle space for themselves and their favorite NPCs. There are many new features offered to decorate and expand the island to their liking such as changing the island’s topography. They can also invite residents to Moonlight Island to participate in different production activities and acquire various items that are helpful to their Life in Erinn. In addition, an all-new Moonlight Island Boost Event will be available, offering increased EXP boosts to grow players’ islands, and additional ways to obtain homestead props to decorate with.

All Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Players Gifted Free Okami Collaboration Content!

London (12 July, 2024) In celebration of the free demo’s release, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess held a special collaboration with Capcom’s classic 2006 title Okami™ along with a special challenge! Players successfully completed the collaboration challenge and unlocked free Okami gifts in the game that will be downloadable at launch across all available platforms, including Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, the official Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess theme song, sung by popular Japanese singer and songwriter ermhoi, was released along with a new trailer on YouTube showcasing more of the game’s eccentric beauties.

The Okami and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess collaboration gifted players exclusive content, including the Amaterasu costume and weapon for Soh as well as the Waka costume for Yoshiro, plus a special Okami collab soundtrack for the game. Together, players were able to successfully complete the challenge of obtaining 1 billion crystals and finding 15 hidden Lucky Mallets in the Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess free demo, which is still available across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and Steam.

The game’s theme song, “Kunitsu-Gami,” composed by Chikara Aoshima and sung by ermhoi, pulls together the game’s themes of masks, defilement, spirits, and sins that reflect the world of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. This official theme song is created with the feel of a children’s song based within the in-game universe, passed down from generation to generation. The meticulously crafted rhythmic patterns, tempo, sound, and arrangement grow rougher as the song progresses. Composer Chikara Aoshima also composed all of the music in Capcom’s 2019 hit Shinsekai: Into the Depths™.

Singer songwriter ermhoi said: “The story of ‘Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess’ is a tale of battling defilement, insecurity, and fear. I hope this song will be like a talisman for you in such a battle. Please enjoy the nostalgic melody by Chikara Aoshima.”

Composer/Drummer Chikara Aoshima said: “We created a song suitable by traditional Japanese children’s songs and nursery rhymes that was suitably sung by ermhoi, who has a fragile yet fantastic voice. We hope that you will be able to contemplate the chaos of this world with this music.”

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess launches day one on Xbox Game Pass on Friday, July 19, as well as Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and Steam.

Pre-orders are now available with exclusive bonuses including two Mazo Talismans (i.e., special equipment) for Soh, and a digital mini artbook containing concept art for the game.
