Wales Interactive brings co-op FPS zombie survival to consoles and PC today

Penarth, Wales, Thursday 18 April – Wales Interactive has released their round-based zombie survival FPS Sker Ritual on PC, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. A spin off to 2020’s award-winning Maid of Sker, it features all the content from the PC early access plus a massive 1.0 update, including new objectives, weapons, story content and more.

In Sker Ritual, players will battle hordes of horrific enemies, alone or in up to four-player co-op, and attempt to survive the onslaught of Sker Island’s vicious Quiet Ones. Gun down masses of enemies, collect Celtic God powers, upgrade an arsenal of steampunk weapons and attempt to defeat the evil on Sker Island.

Sker Ritual has four unique locations to explore, with countless secrets to discover, optional objectives, and easter eggs which progress the story from Maid of Sker’s evil ending.

Sker Ritual Key Features:

• Traverse alone or rally with friends: Battle the Quiet Ones alone or with up to three additional players in online co-op. Be warned, the hordes scale based on the player count
• Four haunting locations to explore: Fight your way through four maps each with their own secrets to uncover. Explore the Cursed Lands of Lavernock, Ashes of Sker Hotel, Sewers of the Dead, and Deadly Lover’s Fortress.
• Wield the power of Celtic Gods: Killing enemies offer a chance to drop powerful Miracles, each offering a choice of three upgradable powers. Bound to a Celtic God, each upgrade comes with a different rarity, core attributes and power.
• Face off against terrifying horrors: The Quiet Ones are back and they have brought friends. Sker Island is crawling with new enemies and elites, each with their own abilities and one goal in mind, total destruction.

“We are super excited to bring Sker Ritual to players on console and PC.” said Dr. David Banner MBE – CEO & Co-Founder at Wales Interactive. “Over the past two years, our core team of five has been working non-stop to implement community feedback from the PC Early Access, ensuring the 1.0/console launch is the complete package.

Techland introduces the much-anticipated Nightmare Mode to Dying Light 2 Stay Human

The new, fan-requested feature is aimed at players who want to get completely immersed in the game.

Today, we’re introducing the Nightmare Mode Update for Dying Light 2 Stay Human, which adds the hardest and most immersive difficulty yet and an array of additional elements. The main feature has been widely requested by the community, and it invites the players to rely on tactics and strategic management of resources in order to survive in the post-apocalyptic world.

“Nightmare Mode will provide the most challenging experience in the world of Dying Light 2 Stay Human. It requires total concentration and extreme caution on the part of the player and, in turn, delivers the highest level of immersion yet.” — Tymon Smektała, Dying Light Franchise Director

The new difficulty introduces changes to stamina management, called the Tactical Stamina system, limited HUD options for better immersion, and a flickering flashlight that goes out when used for too long. These and other additions serve to heighten the atmosphere of horror and refresh the experience for even the most discerning players. Those who manage to complete the game on this highest difficulty will be rewarded with the memorable Waltz Outfit.

The Nightmare Mode Update adds more features than just the new difficulty – such as general adjustments to the Infected and night experience. What is more, co-op players will be glad to hear they will now be able to take on the Community Maps with up to three friends. Archers will get reworked power shot mechanics. And personalization connoisseurs will have the opportunity to change the appearance of the Grappling Hook – don’t miss the free skin available on Pilgrim Outpost! Head there for more information on the latest update and check out the Dev Blog for a detailed look at Nightmare Mode.

To help us create unforgettable experiences for all Dying Light 2 Stay Human players, we invite them to join the conversation on Discord, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube – we’ll be waiting!

126-ish Days Until Time Travel is Possible

Bristol,  United Kingdom — April 18, 2024 | Time travel has taken many forms over the years, a blue box, a DeLorean, and even a hot tub.

The Holy Gosh Darn – which is set on the same Tuesday as Perfectly Paranormal’s previous games Manual Samuel and Helheim Hassle – is a truly laugh-out-loud adventure, spanning realms way beyond the imagination, where time is more of an idea than a hard and fast rule. Along the way, players will meet a cast of ridiculous characters as they insult heavenly elders, travel to hell, meet exactly 4,250 dogs, and discover the very meaning of life, the universe and… well, everything – and no, it’s not 42.

Perfectly Paranormal will be celebrating their release window announcement by attending WASD, hosting a talk at 12PM on Friday 26th of April where they’ll be revealing more about the game, their inspiration and what creating a utopia with swearing angels is really like.

Speaking of angels, players will be taking on the role of Cassiel, an angel with one task: saving Heaven from total annihilation in – checks watch – six hours. Good thing that time doesn’t mean a lot to them. Travel back to save the future, meet winged bird men, solve intricate puzzles and use the power of an ordained stopwatch to replay conversations and use one timeline’s events to influence another.
