CARVE YOUR LEGACY AS SHINOBI AND SAMURAI IN ASSASSIN’S CREED SHADOWS, AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 15 

Embark on a Journey Through Feudal Japan

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – MAY 16, 2024 Today, Ubisoft announced that the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed® franchise, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, will release worldwide on November 15. 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.

Led by Ubisoft Québec*** (Assassin’s Creed Odyssey), Assassin’s Creed Shadows will immerse players in 16th century Japan. The country is heading towards a brutal path to unification, and unrest grows as new coalitions appear and corruptive foreign influences infiltrate the land.

Players will experience the intertwined stories of Naoe, an adept shinobi Assassin from the Iga Province, and Yasuke, the powerful samurai of historical legend. Discover their personal stories, meet pivotal historical figures, and shape the duo’s common destiny as they usher in a new era for Japan.

As Naoe and Yasuke, players can master two complementary playstyles, with each character featuring their own progression paths, skills, weapon options, and stats. Whether they embrace Naoe’s stealth skills or Yasuke’s combat prowess, players will have plenty of ways to approach objectives. With Naoe, they will experience refined infiltration mechanics, using light, noise, shadows, and changing surroundings to avoid detection. With Yasuke, they will be able to take on larger groups of enemies with brutal precision.

The game will let players explore a vast open world with a variety of landscapes evolving through weather and seasons. From spectacular castle towns and bustling ports to peaceful shrines and pastoral landscapes, feudal Japan comes to life with unprecedented dynamism built from the ground up with the latest version of Anvil engine and the power of new-gen consoles.

In this troubled period, information is key and will be at the heart of the renewed exploration mechanics. Players will build their own spy network to unveil new areas and hunt down targets. Allies with highly specialized skills and abilities can also be recruited to help during missions. The creation of their own customisable hideout will enable players to enhance their network and train their new crew. From base building and layout to decorations and accessories, they will be able to craft a unique place to call home.

The standard edition of the game will be available here for a price of AU$109.95 on new-gen platforms and AU$99.95 on PC and Macs with Apple silicon via the Mac App Store. Additionally, fans pre-ordering Assassin’s Creed Shadows will receive an additional quest for any pre-ordered edition.

Gatherac consists of four distinct regions — Mouliac, Hortegarde, Mercazon, and Lumensac — each with its own problems to solve, residents to befriend, and treasures to uncover.

Take on quests, resolve conflicts, and help spread the joys of life across the land. Accumulate action and movement points, and spend them to upgrade skills, travel to new locations, or engage in activities like brewing witchy potions and cooking yummy meals. Progress at any pace and create an individualized adventure while satisfying Colobra’s hunger for adventure!

Overcome Cruelty and Despair in Nested Lands, a Multiplayer Survival RPG from Meta Publishing

Survive and Endure, or Become Another Nobody in a Growing Pile of Corpses

Nicosia, Cyprus (May 15, 2024) — Meta Publishing, publisher of critically acclaimed cRPG Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, is excited to unveil Nested Lands, a multiplayer survival RPG set in a post-plague medieval world. Developed by 1M Bits Horde, Nested Lands is a brutally challenging survival game where the only options are to survive and endure or end up in an ever-growing pile of corpses.

Meta Publishing is running an Alpha Test for Nested Lands beginning this summer. The first playable closed Alpha test will last for three weeks and allow players to experience the game’s opening hours. All players who sign up for the closed Alpha on the official website will get a unique sword and shield. Additionally, all Alpha testers will get priority access to the Beta, which is planned to go live at the end of 2024.

Players can sign up to be involved here: www.nestedlands.com.

About Nested Lands

A devastating plague has swept through the world, transforming it beyond recognition. A once lush, peaceful kingdom is now dark and mangled, with droves of bloodthirsty bandits and unpredictable madmen twisted by the plague roaming the lands. Show any sign of weakness, and death will come swiftly and painfully. There is no place for hope here; the remnants of humans, embittered and mutilated, can only pray to live another day. In Nested Lands, you’ll start from nothing, rising to overcome monumental challenges and make your fame echo across the kingdom.

Craft all the tools and resources you need to survive a harsh, highly interactive environment, build a settlement from the ground up, battle vicious foes, and recruit allies to help you. The unpredictably harsh weather and the coming winter are also your sworn enemies, and the highly detailed world full of random events won’t grant you a single moment’s rest. Every decision you make will be carefully watched and evaluated. Will your name be praised by all, or will its very sound instill fear into the common folk who dwell in this massive open world? The choice is yours.

Key Features:

  • Fight Tooth and Nail: Revel in the challenge of brutal battles and take time to improve skills that will significantly affect your combat, survival, and item management. But stay sharp; even heavy armor can fail to protect you against the frantic blows of a starving vagrant.
  • Settlements Fit for a King: There are dozens of upgradable buildings, hundreds of objects to craft, decorate, and customize, and farms and animals. But don’t let your newborn dynasty blind your vigilance; your surroundings are swarming with embittered souls ready to spill your blood and rip you apart.
  • Strength in Numbers: Break through the endless darkness by gathering the few other survivors who share your plight but have yet to fully give up hope. Save and recruit villagers during your journey across the world, but remember that they will need your protection.
  • Collect, Craft, Survive: A highly detailed crafting system provides countless possibilities for enduring the unforgiving and brutal world. Use the interactive environment to gather resources and craft medicine, weapons, buildings, and everything else your settlement needs to survive.
  •  It’s Dangerous to Go Alone: Explore the Nested Lands solo, or embrace the horrors of this dystopian world with your friends in co-op mode.

Nested Lands launches on PC via Steam. Players can sign up for the first alpha test taking place during summer here.

Write Your Own Chapter as The World of F1 Comes to Life With F1 Manager 2024, Racing onto PC and Console on July 23

​​​​​​​Pre-Order now and take pole position with 10% off the suggested retail price of Deluxe Edition, plus an additional Create A Team preset livery.

Cambridge, UK (15 May 2024) – Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, ‘Frontier’) today announced F1® Manager 2024, the officially licensed Formula 1® management game, will launch digitally on July 23 across PC, PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One for £29.99/$34.99/€34.99. Players will return to the role of F1® Team Principal, where they can choose to design their own constructor and bring an eleventh team to the grid in the new Create A Team mode, take the hotseat at an existing Formula 1® team in Career mode or re-write the real-world 2024 season in Race Replay.
 
Players who pre-order ahead of launch will receive an additional exclusive Create A Team preset livery replicating the F1® 2024 Show Car. Those wanting to enhance their experience with F1® Manager 2024: Deluxe Edition will also receive 10% off the suggested retail price of £39.99/$44.99/€44.99.  Deluxe Edition further expands fans’ creative options with five additional classically inspired patterns, providing additional Create A Team livery options, whilst an additional five fictional Race Replay scenarios offer unique single-race challenges.

For the first time, fans can live out their ultimate fantasy by bringing their own team to life, with customisable livery and logo creation tools giving them control of their team’s unique branding. Team Origins provide total customisation of their team’s starting conditions, whether they choose to enter as a total newcomer, or to target an immediate spot amongst the title contenders with major investment and an all-star line-up. Team Principals must also directly manage their stable of sponsors to deliver both engagement opportunities and results to bolster marketability and attract future support.
 
At the pinnacle of motorsport, F1® Team Principals are responsible for ensuring every individual is motivated and believes in their ability to achieve their goals amidst fierce competition. With the introduction of the all new Mentality System, players will have greater understanding than ever before into the personal ambitions and characters of their team.  Managing people and personalities, Team Principals will see the impact of their decisions directly influence drivers and staff mentality; prioritising one car’s performance risks building an inter-team rivalry. Failure to keep their stars happy will present rivals with opportunities to poach talent, disrupting the team’s trajectory towards the top.
Building their legacy across multiple generations, Team Principals can secure rising stars by recruiting them to the new Affiliates system, allowing young drivers to continue their careers in F2™ and F3™ whilst receiving training and development from the player’s F1® team. Fans can experience this evolution of the sport across multiple seasons and plot their own route to the top with the option to simulate entire races, build their credentials in the paddock by making the leap to a competitor, or adjust their challenge with difficulty settings.
 
Across each visually enhanced circuit on the official 2024 race calendar, fans will aim to execute the perfect strategy; instructing their drivers to extract every millisecond of performance. As tyre wear and temperatures increase, so too does the risk of an incident. Much like their real-world counterparts, players will need to think tactically as they strive to mitigate and capitalise on the ever-evolving challenges and opportunities mechanical failures bring. Players can choose to watch the action unfold from a range of immersive camera angles; feeling the rush of acceleration with Visor-cam, directing the race from trackside and onboard cameras or even taking to the skies with the debut of the strategic Heli-cam view as the simulation brings the racing action to life with greater realism.
 
F1® Manager 2024 will launch on July 23 on PC, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £29.99/$34.99/€34.99, with the Deluxe Edition available for a suggested retail price of £39.99/$44.99/€44.99. Fans who pre-order Deluxe Edition will receive 10% off the suggested retail price.

Cronela’s Mansion: A New Point And Click Adventure For Retro Consoles

[Menorca, Spain] May 15th, 2024: Get ready to return to the glory days of adventure gaming with Cronela’s Mansion, an upcoming spiritual successor to Lucasfilm’s legendary point-and-click adventure title Maniac Mansion, heading to the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, PC, and Nintendo Switch in 2025.

Developed by Spanish indie developer Straynus, Cronela’s Mansion is an epic journey over four years in the making, heavily inspired by the classic SCUMM engine titles of the late 80s and early 90s. It’s an open-world adventure game that puts players in the shoes of Tommy as he explores the sprawling estate, solves clever puzzles, and interacts with a colorful cast of characters through a branching dialogue system as he works to uncover the enigmatic mansion’s many mysteries.

Today’s debut trailer showcases the different versions of Cronela’s Mansion currently in development while offering a tantalizing glimpse at the various locales you’ll visit on your quest, some of the brain-teasing puzzles you’ll encounter, and more. More than mere 1:1 conversions, the various versions of the game are designed to take advantage of the different platforms’ strengths to create a unique and exciting experience, no matter which platform you’re playing on.

“For the past four years, I have been working at Cronela’s Mansion,” said developer Straynus. “Creating a point-and-click game for retro systems has been a challenging experience, both physically and mentally, as all versions are programmed and drawn from scratch. The NES version, in particular, has been very difficult to create. Now, I am looking for funding on Kickstarter to be able to produce all the physical material for the games. If you like my work and love retro graphic adventures, it would be amazing to have your support.”

A Kickstarter campaign for Cronela’s Mansion will launch later this summer. Backers will have the chance to secure a variety of exciting rewards, including a nostalgic big box version of the PC/MS-DOS game on DVD and floppy disk (limited to 500 copies worldwide). For the latest updates, be sure to follow the official Cronela’s Mansion Kickstarter page

About Cronela’s Mansion:

In the depths of a majestic mansion, a story of witchcraft, lies, and betrayal is concealed, laden with nightmares that defy all known logic. The mansion harbors secrets, where the line between the real and the fantastic fades away. Each room is a portal to a shadowy world where the truth is as elusive as light in the darkness.

Will you dare to discover the truth hidden behind the doors of this spine-chilling place? The choice is yours, but be careful; once you cross the threshold, Cronela’s Mansion could reveal more than you are willing to face.

Enter with caution as this mysterious place unveils its enigmas only to the bravest, those willing to lose track of time and their own sanity.

About Straynus:

Straynus is an independent game studio based in Menorca, Spain, that has been working on Cronela’s Mansion since 2020. The development of Cronela’s Mansion began on the Nintendo NES before branching out to five retro consoles. It has expanded to feature original 8 and 16-bit compositions and orchestral music, along with hand-drawn animation videos in anime and cartoon styles.

“The amount of support and enthusiasm from players has been a wonderful surprise for our team so soon after release. As we’re gathering feedback and discussing potential features with the community in preparation for our first content update, we have some exciting news on the way about the future of Bellwright and what’s coming next” – Florian “chadz” Hofreither, Project Lead at Donkey Crew.

Look out for further Bellwright announcements in the coming weeks. In the meantime, players can join the Bellwright community now on Discord and Steam where they can keep up to date with the latest from the development team and continue to provide feedback and shape future updates.
