Survival Epic Soulmask Invites Players to Limited-time Global Open Beta on May 1st

Play 3rd most popular Next Fest game with 40-hour demo ahead of June 2024 launch

April 12th, 2024 – Singapore. Soulmask, the upcoming open-world Survival epic from Qooland Games is thrilled to announce a large-scale global playtest will be available for players to try their luck at survival and domination from May 1st through May 10th on Steam. With 180,000 players with its massive 40-hour demo and reaching 250,000 wishlists, Soulmask cemented its place as the most anticipated sandbox survival title of 2024 with 470,000 hours of gameplay clocked by players of the demo.

As a content-driven open-world sandbox game, Soulmask features a realistic world and survival challenges, with three distinctive gameplay features: Masks, Dynamic Tribesmen and Tribal Management, and a Diverse Physics-based Combat System.

Masks

Mask gameplay is at the core of Soulmask. Masks give you the ability to control most of the NPCs in the game world – possess them, take over their bodies, and transform into anyone. As the game progresses, you can discover more masks that embody the spirit of ancient heroes to unlock many different abilities. Harness the gift of immortality, walk among your enemies concealed in the shadows, fire homing missiles with dead accuracy, and more.

Dynamic Tribesmen and Tribal Management

In Soulmask, you can recruit up to 20 tribesmen to build your own tribe. Each tribesman is unique and has a distinct personality. You might recruit bloodthirsty warriors, dexterous hunters, ingenious craftsmen…or a drunk, lazy alcoholic. Soulmask offers powerful AI and command support, which allows you to set up and manage the workflow of clan members with a high degree of freedom: farming, harvesting, assembly line production, base patrol, automatic repair, and even maintenance. Everything can be automated and customized by you.

Diverse Physics-based Combat System

Soulmask also offers a diverse physics-based combat system for players who love to fight. The game features 8 weapon types and 67 skills, allowing players to customize their own fighting style. For example, the spear in Soulmask has up to 8 specialization skills that can be randomly learned, which can be used as a ranged weapon to pull enemies closer or as a melee weapon to pierce enemies hearts!

We’re overwhelmed with the incredible amount of support and feedback we received from players who joined us for our massive 40-hour demo during Next Fest.” Said Wing, Head of Marketing at Soulmask. “Thanks to the invaluable feedback from players, we’ve been able to make some exciting changes, such as making all terrain climbable in the game. Even though our team is made up of veterans with over 10 years of experience working on MMORPGs, this is our first PC title, so we are beyond appreciative for all of the feedback and support from players. By working alongside players throughout the development process, we hope to make Soulmask something entirely new for the genre that players want to keep coming back to again and again.

Players can prepare to step into the primitive, mysterious, and immersive world of Soulmask during the global playtest beginning on May 4th until May 17th and joining via Steam. Players ready to ascend to tribal domination can wishlist the game on Steam now.

About Soulmask

Soulmask is a sandbox game that prioritizes an authentic and deeply engaging survival experience set in an immense and thriving world. As the “last one” blessed with the mysterious mask, players will grapple for survival as they dive into a primitive land steeped in mysterious faiths, carving out a path to ascendance. Start from nothing, explore, build, recruit tribesmen to fortify your clan, and ultimately unravel the mysterious truths hidden behind the civilizations of this expansive and richly rewarding world. Soulmask comes to PC via Steam later in 2024.

Rustle up some trouble in MTG: Outlaws of Thunder Junction!

Magic’s brand-new plane brings gangs, heists, crime, and untold treasures to a frontier of opportunity!

Wizards of the Coast today launched prerelease events for Outlaws of Thunder Junction, the latest set for the world-renowned trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Introducing a new frontier plane where it’s good to be bad, this set will sweep in the wrong-doers from across the Multiverse as they attempt to claim their fortune or die trying. Outlaws of Thunder Junction will be released in full for MTG Arena on April 16 and for tabletop on April 19.

OKO’S LEGENDARY GANG

Welcome to Thunder Junction, a lawless plane of brazen outlaws and warped morals. It all happened when the mysterious Omenpaths opened, leading villains from across the Multiverse to a new frontier of opportunity. The prize every gang ruthlessly seeks? The treasures of Maag Taranau (“The Vault”). With the wayfaring villain, Oko, rustling up his heist-crew featuring the Multiverse’s most wanted, it’s up to his son Kellan to either beat ‘em, or join ‘em.

GANGS RALLY IN HEIST SEASON!

This just in: outlaw gangs have been spotted gathering at local Wizards Play Network (WPN) stores within Australia and New Zealand. With Heist Season running from now until May 31, eyewitnesses have reported exclusive themed rewards are available to outlaws who return for multiple events.

By participating in at least 4 events throughout the season, players can nab an iconic MTG Bandana, a full set of Character Badges, Wanted Posters, and Gold-Coloured Metal Tokens representing each member of the Gang of Legends. In-store events that are eligible for this loot include Prerelease Events, Limited Events (Draft and Sealed), and Friday Night Magic events for Outlaws of Thunder Junction. 

THE TIME OF OUTLAWS!

Criminals run amok in Thunder Junction. So much so that creature types such as Rogues, Assassins, Pirates, Warlocks, or Mercenaries are collectively referred to as the batched term, ‘Outlaw’. But that’s not the only new mechanic for you to look out for, partner: the more devious-minded criminals will Plot, exiling a card face-up for its plot cost to cast on a later turn without paying its mana cost. For villains of a less subtle nature, Spree grants instants and sorceries several dastardly and chaotic effects that can be paid with an additional cost. Finally, an outlaw cannot ride into the sunset without their Mount. These can be activated by tapping any number of creatures a player controls with total power equal to or greater than the Mount creature’s Saddle value. They will be saddled until the end of the turn, triggering powerful additional abilities.

CRIME RUNS RAMPANT IN OMENPORT!

It’s outlaw versus outlaw in Thunder Junction, and the winner won’t play by the rules. Whenever a player targets an opponent or their hand, permanents, spells, library or graveyard, it’s classed as committing a Crime. These are the basis for the Breaking News Bonus Sheet, a collection of iconic reprints themed exclusively to the set. Players can score one Breaking News card in every Play Booster pack, with the added chance of earning a textured foil version in a Collector Booster pack.

WHAT’S IN THE ANCIENT VAULT?

Gangs from all over will risk life and limb to uncover the mysteries of The Vault, a subset of Standard-legal cards in this set. Players who uncover The Vault’s contents gain access to 30 different Mythic Rares, also appearing in striking Vault Frame and Raised Foil treatments.

RICHES ABOUND IN THUNDER JUNCTION!

Outlaws of Thunder Junction features special card treatments of stunning variety. Borderless Art cards make a return in a selection of Rares and Mythic Rares, alongside 10 Special Guests that are available in foil and nonfoil as part of The List. Starring Thunder Junction’s most iconic cards, these can be found in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters. 

To embrace the spirit of the frontier, Outlaws of Thunder Junction also reveals breathtaking Full-Art Basic Lands that capture the set’s iconic themes. Thunder Junction may be overrun with crime, but its scenery sure is inspiring!

And finally, for Thunder Junction’s most notorious, the Wanted Poster showcase treatment. These cards are exclusive to Oko’s gang of the Multiverse’s most iconic villains, Vraska, Kellan, Annie Flash, Rakdos and Tinybones, and can be found in Play and Collector Boosters.

Magic the Gathering: Outlaws of Thunder Junction includes Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, Commander Decks, Prerelease Packs, and Bundles.

3D Realms’ Horrific Medical Management Sim “The Kindeman Remedy” Treats Consoles Today

AALBORG, Denmark – April 11, 2024 – The Kindeman Remedy, the blasphemous medical management game set in a horrific prison, developed by Troglobytes Games and published by 3D Realms, embraces sacrilege in the name of science on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch for $7.99 USD starting today. 

Follow the now-disgraced Dr. Carl Kindeman as he begins his new medical residency at Thompson Island Prison. No longer the prestigious anesthesiologist he once was, Dr. Kindeman now “treats” patients considered irredeemable by society. Shunned by his peers in the medical community, he aims to continue his vile research by any means necessary and invokes the help of his fellow colleague, Sister Anna. 

Guide Dr. Kindeman and Sister Anna throughout the prison, toggling between the two as they administer treatment to inmates. Follow a branching narrative colored by cruel and twisted characters, providing elixirs, potions, and other substances to unsuspecting prisoners during the day under the guise of their betterment. Reconvene at night to conduct much more sinister experiments.  

Avoid the watchful eye of the distrustful Dr. Simon Jonathan Black as the killer duo seeks medical breakthroughs. Torture inmates with a devious arsenal of tools ranging from razor blades and saws to acid, choke pears, and other wicked implementations.

Navigate through the foul, neglected prison to sinister areas like the morgue, execution chambers, and inmate cells. Call on Sister Anna to administer questionable elixirs and observe as the prisoners squirm, writhe, and scream in pain. With no moral compass to guide him, Dr. Kindeman will go to appalling lengths to restore his reputation. 

The Kindeman Remedy is available on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for $7.99 USD beginning today. The horror management sim is also available on PC via Steam for the same price. For more information, please visit the official websites for 3D Realms, and Troglobytes Games, and follow 3D Realms on Twitch, Twitter/X, YouTube, and Steam.

PAC-MAN™ MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE™: CHOMP CHAMPS is bringing competitive eating, PAC-MAN style, to PC and consoles. Bandai Namco Europe S.A.S. today announced the game will launch on 9th May 2024, and is available now for preorder. PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE: CHOMP CHAMPS is a raucous take on PAC-MAN multiplayer, featuring cross-play for the first time and amping up gameplay with 64-player battles, a variety of colourful interconnected mazes, customizable PACs, and Power Items that not only boost players’ abilities but can also help the GHOSTS chase down the competition. The game is available now for preorder in Standard and Deluxe editions, with all preorders receiving the Chomp Challengers Pac Preorder bonus, and is coming to Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X | S, and PC via Steam®.

PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE: CHOMP CHAMPS captures PAC-MAN’s insatiable appetite in a game where everything except the maze is edible. In the game, players must eat their way through multiple interconnected mazes to become the Chomp Champ – a.k.a. the last PAC standing at the end of each match. Gain the upper hand on other players or turn the tables against GHOSTS by utilizing a variety of Power Items which give PAC-MAN shields, enhanced speed, and more. Players can also sabotage their competition by using Power Items that help the GHOSTS. Not only will they be able to chomp through PAC-MAN’s regular diet of dots and fruit, but they can also chomp through other players’ PACs in true competitive head-to-head competition.

Ready to welcome players of varying skill levels, game modes include Elimination Mode with arcade-style action where players of any rank can compete and earn Tokens to redeem on customization items, and Ranked Mode where players battle against similarly skilled opponents from around the world and gain Rank XP earning their place on the leaderboards. With 63 other players per match, bling is the way to stand out in the crowd; players can customize their PAC with a variety of body, head, and face cosmetics. PAC-MAN MEGA TUNNEL BATTLE: CHOMP CHAMPS includes a Friend system that lets players drop into the same match with friends, track progress, and spectate the action when their friends – or foes – are playing the game.
