Embark on an expedition into the mind-breaking wilderness of Alaska, and warm yourself up afterwards on a journey through the Emberlands. New trailers available!

Hamburg, Germany / June 13th, 2024 – Publisher Daedalic Entertainment together with developers Vixa Games and Tiny Roar promise a journey full of contrasts for the current Steam Next Fest with the release of demos for two uniquely captivating games, Edge of Sanity and Into the Emberlands. Daedalic Entertainment offers players a chance to dive into divergent realms—one filled with the cozy, mystical adventures of Into the Emberlands, launching into Early Access on June 19th, and the other, Edge of Sanity, a descent into madness and horror. 

Edge of Sanity, set in the harsh wilderness of Alaska, challenges players to lead a group of survivors in a 2D survival horror game inspired by Cthulhu mythology. As you scavenge and explore, a gripping storyline unravels that will confront you with eldritch horrors and encroaching madness beyond human comprehension. In stark contrast, Into the Emberlands invites players to a magical world brimming with ever-changing landscapes and mystical creatures. Rescue villagers lost in the Miasma, gather resources, and rebuild your village to create a safe haven. Together, these games showcase the diverse experiences waiting at Steam Next Fest from Daedalic—catering to a broad group of gamers, from the cozy to the chilling.

About Edge of Sanity

Edge of Sanity is a survival horror game with a psychological edge set in the unforgiving wilderness of a cold war-era Alaska, featuring handcrafted 2D art and an intense atmosphere inspired by the famous Cthulhu myth.

You were part of a resupply group helping scientists working in a camp far in the remote Alaskan wilderness. Finding the site devoid of humanity, you stumble upon horrifying creatures, and during the escape your group splits up. You were lucky enough to make it out alive, and you set up camp to plan your future expeditions to find your missing team and learn what happened.

Every day here is a tough fight for survival. Food and supplies are limited, and your sanity is stretching over the edge. Be prepared to improvise and look for any advantage you might have against various monstrosities. It’s all up to you whether the darkness fully consumes you, or you manage to cling to what remains of your sanity.

About Into the Emberlands

You are the Lightbearer. Take your trusty lantern and set out into the Emberlands to rescue the Knacks who lost their way in the wilds. Collect resources on your explorations and lead the Knacks back to their village. Use your resources and the new inhabitants to rebuild the village and expand it from a few shacks to a safe haven! But be aware: If your lantern’s light fades while you’re out exploring, you will become a lost one yourself, and the next Lightbearer will need to step into your shoes…

Set out to discover beautiful procedurally generated biomes while looking for lost ones, and meet quirky inhabitants on your way, from lazy trolls and crazy scientists, to…chickens?! They all offer their own quests and bargains to you. While some may seem rather dubious, they all promise unique rewards, from resources and tools to upgrades to your equipment. Choose which offers you are willing to take—it’s all up to you!

4 Exclusive Tracks Will Release on Friday June 14 at00:01AM.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – JUNE 13, 2024 – Today, Ubisoft announced the composers involved in the making of Assassin’s Creed® Shadows’ original soundtrack. Four exclusive tracks will be made available on Friday, June 14 at 00:01AM local time on all platforms available on the following page: https://ubisoftmusic.ffm.to/themesofshadows.

After the release of the gameplay walkthrough during Ubisoft Forward, Ubisoft has revealed the talents who will craft the musical atmosphere of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Coming from different backgrounds, exploring different genres and influences, they will strike as one to deliver an immersive, surprising and memorable original soundtrack for players. Three different composers’ teams have been involved.

The music duo The Flight, made up of Joe Henson and Alexis Smith, who previously worked on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, are returning to compose the original score for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. They worked closely with the teams at Ubisoft to incorporate traditional Japanese instruments and musicians into a modern style, creating a unique sound for the Shadows universe

The band uses traditional Japanese instruments, flute and trombone alongside a frenzied rage of guitars and cinematic vocals, with a sound reminiscent of 1960’s and 70’s-era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks. TEKE::TEKE uses a studied and experimental approach to craft their emotive soundscapes, bringing an unexpected twist to the players’ musical journey all throughout Shadows.

Additionally, Hugo Brijs, Alex Cameron Ward, and Félix Rebaud-Sauer, from composer team Thunderdrum, worked alongside Tiggs Da Author, a Tanzanian-born rapper, singer, songwriter and producer from South London to create a psychedelic rock fusion, bringing an additional layer to the Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ soundtrack.

By blending a large array of sounds, music, influences and voices, Ubisoft Québec aims to create an immersive yet surprising musical tapestry for players to discover in-game. With this first EP, listeners will get to discover the biggest musical themes of the game, including a fully original and unique rendition of the franchise’ theme, Ezio’s Family, byTEKE:TEKE.

The game will be available on Ubisoft+**, PlayStation^®5, Xbox Series X|S, Macs with Apple silicon via the Mac App Store as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store.  Players who subscribe to Ubisoft+ or purchase the Ultimate Edition can get the game three days early on November 12.

Visions of Mana is a brand-new story and mainline entry to the Mana series and follows the journey of Val, a newly appointed soul guard who is tasked with accompanying his childhood friend, Hinna, a chosen alm to the Tree of Mana. The new trailer introduces new characters Palamena and Julei who Val and Hinna befriend on their journey through the vast world to reach the Tree of Mana. In Visions of Mana, players will be able to build their own three-person dream team while in battle, switching between the five playable characters, Val, Careena, Morley, Palamena, and Julei with supporting companions, Ramcoh, Aesh and Hinna assisting from the side.

The new trailer provides a closer look at some of the latest gameplay features, including the Elemental Vessels, the mystical artifacts that house the power of the elements within them. Players can use the Elemental Vessels to change classes and gain new abilities during battles. With each character possessing their own specific class for each Elemental Vessel, players can customise their team line up to enjoy a flexible, fast-paced fighting style. Visions of Mana also sees the return of the series staple in-battle Ring Menu, allowing players to pause combat and plan out their next move. Elemental triggers can also be found throughout the vibrant world and used to unlock new places to explore and find hidden items on the map.

Since the series’ debut in 1993 as MYSTIC QUEST™, a spin-off of the FINAL FANTASY series, Mana games have immersed players in bright vibrant worlds, breath-taking environments, heart-warming characters, and high fantasy storylines across many genres and platforms. Based on 30 years of legacy, Mana Series Producer, Masaru Oyamada and his team are incorporating everything they have learned from the last seventeen Mana games to ensure that Visions of Mana is a faithful addition to the series that fans know and love, while also offerings fans and newcomers a fresh new experience with an all-new story, characters, and gameplay mechanics.

Visions of Mana will be launching on Aug. 29, 2024 for PS5®, PS4® consoles, Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft Store and STEAM®.  For more information, visit: https://mana.square-enix-games.com

About the Mana Series

The Mana series has released 17 titles over the last 30+ years and sold over 9 million copies/downloads worldwide. The demand for the franchise from its fans has seen several Mana games re-mastered and re-released in the West over the last console generation.​
