Barcelona, Spain — May 23, 2024 — Bread & Fred, the rage-inducing co-op platformer developed by SandCastles Studio and published by Apogee Entertainment which has already sold more than 500,000 units, lands the leap onto Nintendo Switch today, on its one-year anniversary! 

Bundle up with a buddy, hand them a Joy-Con, and embark on a relationship-testing chilly co-op climbing adventure featuring penguin pals Bread and Fred. Waddle over wild obstacles at record speed in ten all-new time trials against Pol the Polar Bear, the mountaintop’s newest cuddly competitor, and unlock new race paths after every victory. 

Perform perfectly-timed tandem leaps and landings while attached at the hip of a pint-sized penguin partner to scale snow-capped slippery slopes. Anchor down and wind up a well-timed jump to slingshot the pair across massive gaps, then cling and swing from wall to wall to reach new heights.

One, two, three, go! Wait… are we jumping on ‘go’ or jumping on ‘three’? Every icy obstacle requires a coordinated effort to conquer. Get in sync with in-game emojis and countdown timers to make harrowing hops over the icy abyss. Strive to become simpatico or risk plunging face-first into the depths, forced to re-conquer previous peaks.

Partnered penguins can test their paired prowess in Speedrun Mode for a chance at the Bread & Fred online hall of fame. Climbers craving a solo trek can brave the unforgiving elements with help from silent-but-sturdy companion Jeff the Rock. 

Discover rewarding sidequests on the way up to the summit. Track down Beakville’s favorite boy band burrowed across the mountaintop — The Backstreet Moles — and unlock new music with each rescued musician. Locate lore-filled photos and piece together an adorable story, play mini-games, and don dozens of themed skins fit for every occasion. 

“The Nintendo Switch always comes to mind for co-op games, and Bread & Fred is the perfect fit for pick-up-and-play portability,” said Scott Miller, CCO and Founder of Apogee Entertainment. “We love Bread & Fred’s online co-op abilities, but an in-person couch co-op session creates hilarious moments and unforgettable memories between friends. But be warned: some friendships will fall!” 

Bread & Fred will launch with language support in English, Spanish (Spain), Catalan, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brasil), Chinese, Spanish (Latam), Polish and Turkish. The official soundtrack is available on all major music streaming services. To learn more about Bread & Fred and SandCastles Studio, visit the official website, follow Bread & Fred on Twitter/X, and keep up with Apogee Entertainment by following their Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, and Discord.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Leicester, UK – 23rd MAY 2024

Kasedo Games & Bulwark Studios today announced Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II, the sequel to the critically acclaimed turn-based tactical game, is coming to Windows PC, PlayStation®5 & Xbox Series X|S.

The highly anticipated announcement headlined this year’s Warhammer Skulls Showcase, with Games Workshop’s annual festival for licensed video games culminating in the world premiere of the reveal trailer for the awaited sequel.

After millennia of slumber, Vargard Nefershah mobilises her dynasty’s legions to annihilate the Adeptus Mechanicus interlopers who unknowingly settled upon her world. Across the galaxy, Magos Dominus Faustinius is summoned to bring his hard-won expertise to bear and ensure the Necrons do not succeed. The conflict soon becomes a crucible of unanticipated significance, drawing to it external actors stranger and more deadly still. 

In an exciting addition for the sequel, players will not just be battling as the Adeptus Mechanicus against the awakening of a Necron tomb world, but will also be able to fight as the Necrons for the resurgence of their dynasty , with both sides now fully playable over multiple campaigns.

Strategic gameplay is again at the forefront of the action, with players able to manage their territories’ garrisons and assemble forces for each mission, choosing from a vastly expanded selection of fighters from each faction’s range. New environmental mechanics will also require players to maneuver their forces like never before and play to their chosen faction’s strengths and weaknesses – take cover behind terrain as the Mechanicus, or destroy it as the Necrons.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II is once again expertly bringing the setting to life with awe-inspiring music and audio design by critically acclaimed composer Guillaume David and the gripping continuation of the Mechanicus saga by veteran author Ben Counter, best known for his Black Library novels. The epic conflict, skillfully woven over multiple campaigns, is replete with narrative events, with the player choices shaping not just the course of the war, but its climactic outcome.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II is coming to Windows PC, PlayStation®5 & Xbox Series X|S.
