VENTURE DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE WITH THE ALICE’S ADVENTURES SPECIAL PACK FOR POWERWASH SIMULATOR – OUT NOW!

SYDNEY (July 3, 2024) – Today, Square Enix Collective® and FuturLab® released the Alice’s Adventures Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator on PC Microsoft Store on Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 (PS4®), PlayStation®5 (PS5®). Alice’s Adventures Special Pack will also be coming to Meta Quest 2/3/Pro on July 11.

Watch the Alice’s Adventures Special Pack trailer here:

This topsy-turvy Special Pack features a wide range of level aesthetics, from opulent maximalism to introspective minimalism, featuring elements such as ornate interiors and fabrics, unique furnishings, custom themed cutlery, crockery and furniture – including details like the good-enough-to-eat carrot utensils!

“The team has had so much fun merging the psychedelic aesthetic of Alice in Wonderland into PowerWash Simulator. This pack is full of whacky nonsense from optical illusions to mad mechanics,” says Kirsty Rigden, FuturLab’s CEO. “We hope our players enjoy exploring our take on Wonderland as much as we loved creating it!”

The whimsical special pack captures the essence of Alice in Wonderland by showcasing iconic visuals and quirky designs. Players will enjoy the beautiful environmental art, vivid colours, and unique looks depicted in each level. The adventurous special pack has five fun and colourful levels, 10 new achievements*, Alice in Wonderland themed ‘Washer’ and ‘Character’ skins, and more.

Maps included in the new mind-bending Special Pack are:

Wonderland Entrance Hall

Travel through an incredible ‘Ames Illusion’ corridor into the Entrance Hall – revealing unique patterns on the floors and ceilings and quirks in the architecture as you wash, such as little doors nested in the main doors.​

White Rabbit’s House

Alluding to the Rabbit’s pre-occupation with being late, his home has been littered with clocks and time motifs, including a clock floor and the pervasive sound of ticking.

Caterpillar’s Mushroom

Ever wondered if a caterpillar wears socks? Wonder no more, as players will find them hanging on the line. A more curious question is do they wear PJ’s and what do they look like?! The answer lies under the muck!

Mad Tea Party

In this unique level, players will see things from a whole new perspective… being shrunken down to miniature size and let loose to clean up the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.

Queen of Hearts’ Court

Players will feel imposed and invited in equal measure. Beautiful environmental art and regal details, such as the trimmed hedges that perfectly line up with the Queen’s crown and the wonderfully illustrated banners undoubtably cement this as a domain fit for a Queen!

The Alice’s Adventures Special Pack is out now and available to purchase on PC (via Steam and Windows), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 (PS4®), PlayStation®5 (PS5®),and coming to Meta Quest 2/3/Pro on July 11, 2024.

Players can build their very own power washing business and blast away every speck of dirt and grime that they can find. With a unique take on the simulation genre, POWERWASH SIMULATOR focuses on player relaxation and escapism.

*Achievements not included on Meta Quest 2/3/pro.

Party Physics Brawler Bare Butt Boxing Lands on Earth for 1.0 Launch 1 August 2024

Go for the gold in new maps, game modes on PC, Nintendo Switch

VANCOUVER, Canada — 3 July 2024 — Bare Butt Boxing, the comically chaotic multiplayer brawler from AAA visual effects studio Tuatara Games, pulls no punches as it enters the 1.0 ring with three never-before-seen maps and two new gameplay modes on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, 1 August 2024!

Colorful and mischievous aliens land on Earth to host unregulated boxing matches. Launch your opponents or the giant beach ball in portals to earn points based on which game mode is on. Whoever has the most points when the round is over wins! Face up to 3 friends locally, join 6 players online matches, or fight with bots in single player mode.

Punching is not the only key to victory : collect item boxes to use special powers like the powerful vacuum and super frenzy to turn the tides of battle. Keep an eye on stage hazards to avoid falling off the level! The gusting winds on the Mountain top and disappearing platforms at the neon disco Arcade can mess your score badly if you are not careful.

A rainbow of cosmetics is available for each fighter. Don shiny new skins, wacky fonts, and the latest in alien boxing glove fashions. These customization options are always available in local play, and can be unlocked via coins earned in-game to show off in online play! 

Enjoy the intergalactic soundtrack composed by Grand Soleil and handcrafted for the ultimate knockout experience.

“We are truly grateful to all the players that joined us in Early Access. With 1.0 we wanted to wrap up the game with more content and a bigger emphasis on local multiplayer, which has been heavily requested.” said Klemen Lozar, founder of Tuatara Games.

Bare Butt Boxing will swing into 1.0 on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, 1 August 2024.

First Trailer Highlights Visual Improvements and New Voice Acting for Protagonist, Adol; Pre-orders starting soon

London, U.K., — July 2, 2024 — Marvelous Europe today announced that acclaimed RPG developer Nihon Falcom’s remastered classic, Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana, will be released in Europe and Australia for the Nintendo Switch™ system, PlayStation®5, and digitally only for PlayStation®4 in early 2025.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana brings the RPG classic, originally released under the title Ys III: Wanderers From Ys, then later re-released as Ys: The Oath in Felghana, to modern platforms with improved visuals while retaining the action RPG’s core gameplay and charm.

The title joins the lineup of playable games at the Marvelous USA and XSEED Games booth, Entertainment Hall – 110, at Anime Expo taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center from July 4-7.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana follows thrill-seeking protagonist Adol and his blue-haired companion Dogi as they return to Dogi’s homeland of Felghana. The eight years they’ve been away have not been kind to the lands which are now filled with roaming monsters, a newly active volcano, and a greedy new overlord extorting the suffering residents. While Dogi seeks help from his former master, Adol remains to help the locals, only to find himself embroiled in a world of conspiracies and ancient legacies.

With remastered high-definition visuals and music, the epic adventure has never looked or sounded better. Additional features include multiple versions of the sweeping soundtrack, accessibility options, and brand-new character illustrations, making Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana the definitive edition of the acclaimed masterpiece.

Key Features:
Classic RPG Excitement Remastered: Experience the old-school action RPG combat the Ys series is known for, with added difficulty options and quality-of-life enhancements like “Turbo” mode, as you fight your way through a memorable fantasy world.
Refined Visual Variety: Ys Memoire features all-new “Refined” character illustrations throughout the game, but players who want the original experience can switch to the “Classic” versions at a whim.
A Silent Protagonist No Longer: Newly recorded voice acting for Adol Christin, including an opening narration that sets the stage for adventure, gives new depth and gravitas to the famous hero.
A Sweeping Soundtrack Reborn: Well-regarded for its outstanding soundtrack, this version features three different iterations of the epic score (Original, PC-8801, and X68000) for players to choose from, all remastered in high-quality audio.

Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana is developed by Nihon Falcom and published in Europe and Australia on the Nintendo Switch™ system, PlayStation®5, and digitally only for PlayStation®4 by Marvelous Europe. Details for digital editions will be made available at a later date. Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana will be published in North America by XSEED Games.

NEW HERO “TERRA” SLAYS HER WAY INTO THIRD-PERSON MOBA PREDECESSOR TODAY

(LONDON, UK) – July 2, 2024  – Omeda Studios, a community-founded studio created by Robbie Singh, has introduced a new Hero, Terra, to their third-person MOBA Predecessor! Wielding a mighty ax and exuding raw strength, Terra can strike fear in the heart of anyone standing in the way of her quest for justice. Terra is the latest new addition to the MOBA following Omeda’s May update where they added the new game mode, Brawl, a new map and Hero Aurora. Predecessor is available now for free on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Players Can View Terra in Action in this Brand-New Trailer Linked Here:

Terra is a fearless and unyielding warrior with a slew of new abilities that can help players change the tide of battle, including:

  • Passive – Hersir is a Passive ability which strengthens and empowers her abilities with additional effects once she’s gained enough stacks.Terra can gain stacks of Hersir by damaging enemies with her basic attacks and abilities. Once she has maximum stacks, her weapons emit a radiant glow and the next ability cast will be empowered.
  • Primary – The Primary ability Ruthless Assault has Terra swing her mighty ax around, dealing two ferocious blows, slashing at all enemies in range. When empowered by Terra’s Passive ability, she strikes a devastating third blow that deals true damage, making this ability extremely potent as her main source of damage.
  • Secondary – Her Secondary ability – Highland Hurl – pulls the strength of Terra’s ancestors to hurl a powerful, spectral ax towards a target, slowing any enemies it hits. While empowered by Hersir, Highland Hurl will also root enemies for a short duration, which makes this ability perfect for initiating ganks, securing takedowns, or disengaging if the battle takes a turn for the worse.
  • Alternate – Wild Rush is Terra’s Alternate ability, where she braces herself before charging forwards into the fray. Any enemies caught in the stampede are blasted back from the impact. When empowered, Wild Rush provides Terra with a shield for a short duration too, which keeps her in the fight a little longer and outlasts enemies on the battlefield.
    • Players can combine this ability with Highland Hurl and Ruthless assault to bear down on their enemies while dealing some serious damage along the way.
  • Ultimate – Unstoppable Force is her Ultimate ability where she strengthens her resolve, bunkering down as an impenetrable bastion on the battlefield. When activated, Unstoppable Force grants Terra maximum Hersir stacks, cleanses all debuffs and makes her completely immune to crowd control effects, while also granting her extra physical and magical armor for the duration.
    • This ability can prove useful in team fights or when players are facing down an enemy who specializes in Crowd Control. Players should activate this Ultimate when an enemy uses one of their main Crowd Control abilities to immediately cleanse the debuff, before rushing them wildly.
  • Items – Players should incorporate various items that increase Terra’s physical power and ability haste to make the most out of her hard-hitting play style along with armor items, depending on the match up to keep her in the fight!

About Peculiar Pixels

Peculiar Pixels is an indie studio setup by solo developer Oscar Salandin to build games that bring people together with humour, teamwork, and experimentation.

Oscar studied Industrial Design and worked at Microsoft in UX, Research and Mixed Reality. Growing up playing sandbox video games like Time-Splitters, Crysis, Halo, Rocket League and Gang Beasts, he experimented with game ideas as a hobby and fell in love with physics, procedural animation and emergent behaviours.

BOTSU was an experiment to find out what procedurally animated characters would feel like if they were faster, more athletic, and more precisely controlled. This was instantly fun and funny to play with friends, so the concept was developed further to add game-modes, gadgets, costumes and online multiplayer.

Volgarr the Viking Returns August 6, Claim Your Destiny as the Barbarian King

Don your most intimidating loin cloth and grab your sharpest sword — Volgarr is BACK!

More than a decade after Volgarr the Viking’s debut from Crazy Viking Studios, which sold more than one million copies across PC and consoles, the barbarian king’s adventure continues in an uncompromising new form on August 6, 2024. Set against the backdrop of new and bigger-than-ever Norse-inspired worlds, Volgarr the Viking II ups the ante on the original’s hardcore 2D side-scrolling action in an expanded odyssey where every playthrough is grislier than the last.

As the great warrior Volgarr, choose your actions wisely when entering battle, as precision is everything. One false move can spell a one-way ticket to Valhalla. Jump, duck, slide, and dodge to avoid deadly enemies while remaining cognizant of the threats posed by your environment. 

While the sequel delivers the same unforgiving 1980s-arcade level of difficulty as the original, Volgarr’s a little older now, his muscles have wizened, and he graciously welcomes some new features that won’t agitate the arthritis: a practice mode, checkpoints, save profiles, and unlimited continues — but at what cost? If you can survive without these modern comforts, you’ll unlock everything the game has to offer. If not… death comes knocking.

What You’ll Find in Volgarr the Viking II

  • Stave off death with new power-ups and magic items
  • A roster of ruthless bosses so big and so ugly, they’re just begging to have their heads chopped off
  • An epic orchestral soundtrack to carry you through battle
  • Handy speedrunning tools, including an on-screen timer and no-HUD mode
  • Six distinct endings based on player performance —only the masterfully skilled will unlock a hidden level to battle a secret final boss!
  • Modern era upgrades include a practice mode and multiple profile save options
  • Buckets of blood and bone explosions
  • Loincloths

Embark on a satisfyingly punishing quest in this sequel over a decade in the making.
