SEATTLE – 14 Mar. 2024 –Cartel Tycoon, the survival business simulator from developer Moon Moose and publisher tinyBuild, broadens its empire nationwide on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 today!
Establish and govern the largest narcotics empire set in the ‘80s and ‘90s narco trade scene. Reign with an army of loyal companions handling worldwide farming operations, including labs, aerodromes, plantations, and more. Plan carefully to safely smuggle drugs and other meaningful resources across enemy lines. Defend the empire from opposing cartels using violence or cunning charm to strike useful deals with state authorities.
Carve the best path to ultimate profit, always mindful that every potential reward comes at a high risk. Launder hard-earned cash, keep trustworthy lieutenants in check, and bribe corrupt politicians to make the flow of business seamless. Hope for the best while planning for the worst: death leaves no one behind, so when the bell tolls, promote a trusted lieutenant to take charge and continue fostering the empire that started it all.
Rise to the top with an intense, dynamic narrative system featuring a memorable crew of unscrupulous characters. See the best — and worst! — parts of a gorgeous tropical land in a full-fledged story campaign of kingpins, contraband, and corruption.
Embrace that inner capo in a variety of game modes. Sandbox mode encourages the use of every tool available for the ultimate tycoon experience. Seek the most ruthless, tough-as-nails challenge in Survival mode, where hardcore permadeath adds crushing weight to every decision.
“In the spirit of the tycoon genre, we’re expanding the reach of Cartel Tycoon onto PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S,“ said Leonid Gorbachov, Creative Director. “We’ve worked hard to make our sim feel just as thrilling on a gamepad as it is with a keyboard and mouse for the aspiring kingpins who play on consoles.”
Cartel Tycoon is available now on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 as a Standard Edition for $29.99, and a Deluxe Edition featuring all three PC DLCs (San Rafaela, La Familia, Guerillas) for$44.99. The game supports English, Russian, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Turkish languages.

Brutal brawler with more than one million players gets even more up close and personal
QUEENSLAND, Australia – March 14, 2024 – Paint the Town Red VR, the first-person brawler with sandbox combat levels and a massive roguelite mode downloaded by more than one million players from South East Games, knocks out the competition on Steam VR, PlayStation VR2, and Meta Quest 2|3|Pro today.
Step into a wide array of environments, where every object is a weapon and every enemy is a fully destructible voxel obstacle. Tear through makeshift fighting arenas coloring the walls crimson and standing victorious amongst the wreckage.
Carve a path of dizzying destruction and make a lasting impression across a variety of era specific, action-ready locations, including rowdy bars, chaotic clubs, and perilous penitentiaries. Send fists flying and rain down blows with anything that isn’t bolted down. Annihilate violent vandals with stabs, kicks, and slices that send limbs flying with dynamic voxel gore and blood splatter.
Turn brutality into an art form with a ludicrously expansive arsenal of weapons like ashtrays, pool cues, and giant ham legs, or stick with the classics and engage in bare-knuckle brawling. Knock out enemies even more efficiently with the new dual-wielding ability, fortifying fighters with twice the options for chaotic carnage across three distinct game modes.
Fight solo in the sandbox-style Scenarios mode, with dozens of modifiers to drastically customize the experience, or flatten wave after wave of encroaching enemies in the increasingly difficult Arena mode. Those looking for a larger experience filled with otherworldly creatures and environmental storytelling can descend into Beneath, the massive roguelite mode. Solve puzzles, gain upgrades, master magical abilities and battle monstrous Elder bosses to survive the horrors underground.
“Following the success of the original Paint the Town Red,we knew making a fast-paced, intense VR version was the obvious next step and would appeal to VR action fans everywhere,” said Matthew Carr, Co-founder of South East Games. “The ability to attack from any angle paired with the feedback of the voxel-based damage feels amazing in VR. We’re excited to see a new range of players get creative with their carnage.”
Paint the Town Red VR is available now on Quest 2, 3 and Pro for $19.99, PlayStation VR2 for $19.99 with a discount for existing PlayStation owners of Paint the Town Red, and on Steam VR as a $9.99 add-on DLC. The original version of Paint the Town Red is available for $19.99 on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, in addition to Steam for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux.

What lurks beneath the surface of a vampire’s alluring facade?
Berlin, Germany — March 14, 2024 | What does a therapist for the undead do? Do they live in a castle, cavort with hundreds of mortals or stare at mirrors hoping to see their reflection? Maybe on the weekends, yes — but 9-5, Monday to Friday they’re offering the undead a second chance at living, and Vampire Therapist’s brand new trailer offers a tantalising taste of what to expect.
In Vampire Therapist, players will discover the types of distortions that haunt both vampires and mortals. Taking on the role of Sam, a new devotee to vampire therapy, players will challenge their fellow undead to face up to their distorted versions of reality, and see if they can battle their demons and come out on the other side.
“We are dead, don’t we deserve to rest in peace?” asks Andromachos, a reformed warrior and assassin, and mentor to players on their therapy journey with the terminally blood-thirsty.
Check out the all-new ‘distortions’ trailer below:
All of the techniques shown throughout the game and in this trailer have been created with the help and support of licensed therapists, lending authenticity to the game and its overall message.

Zone Out to Zen Tunes While Recruiting Quirky Allies, Discovering Mysterious Islands, and Knocking Out Knuckleheads On Your Way to Mars; Download During Launch Week For 20% Off
LOS ANGELES – MARCH 14, 2024 – How do you cope with a world-ending climate catastrophe? By taking a super relaxing boat trip! The megachill developers at Demagog Studio have announced that the award-winning narrative-driven adventure / strategy hybrid Highwater has landed on Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store today. Download the game during launch week to enjoy a 20% discount.
Winner of the Gold NYX Awards for Best PC Visual Art and Best PC Indie, Highwater has players float freely across vast waterways with a group of eccentric pals as they attempt to sneak onto a rumored rocket to Mars and begin new lives on the red planet. Use classic turn-based combat and items in your nautical environment, like oars, harpoons, fishing rods and more, to sideline the seafaring scoundrel you’ll encounter on your voyage.
When the waves have settled, soak in the sights and turn up the cozy vibes with Pirate Radio’s original zen tunes. Who said the end of the world had to be so dry?
Light up a burning oil drum and roast some rat kebabs over the open fire in Highwater‘s launch announcement trailer below:
Amid the Great Climate Catastrophe, a flooded safe zone called Hightower rests between the world’s only remaining dry regions: the ravaged War Zone and the fortified ultra-rich city of Alphaville. What’s left of humanity will drown soon.
When protagonist Nikos hears rumors of a rocket to Mars, he decides to set sail on a make-or-break journey across the War Zone, over Alphaville’s impenetrable walls, and onto what he hopes is his ticket to survival. Can he make it there in one piece? Probably not. It’s a good thing he’ll enlist the help of a few buddies along the way.
Together with Nikos’ misfit crew, players can discover islands, gather resources, and battle insurgents using a turn-based combat system designed to reward the high sea’s best tacticians and puzzle solvers. Tactfully interact with the environment to change the tide in a moment’s notice. Knock down a tree, ram a shopping cart, or duck behind a worn out car – those sailor scum won’t know what hit them.
Will you make it to Mars or settle for a watery grave? It’s time to hoist the anchor and set sail, rocketman.
“Highwater tells an emotional story about friendships and survival in a flooded post-apocalyptic world equally disturbing and beautiful,” said Rogue CEO Matt Casamassina. “And it belongs to a much larger universe that spans three self-contained games.”
Highwater is the first chronologically in a trilogy of games set in a shared Demagog Studio-developed universe. The others, Golf Club Nostalgia and The Cub, complete the series.
Atmospheric adventure Highwater is out now across Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Download the game during launch week to enjoy a 20% discount.

The official MotoGP™ videogame will be available on May 2, 2024
Two new awaited features are now available: Riders Market and MotoGP™ Stewards
LiveGP* Championship, a brand-new feature will add a fresh layer of competition to the online experience
Sydney, Australia, March 15, 2024: Milestone and MotoGP™are thrilled to announce MotoGP™24, the official MotoGP™ videogame featuring all the official riders and tracks of the 2024 season for the MotoGP™, Moto2™, and Moto3™ categories, as well as the FIM Enel MotoETM World Championship. The new instalment will be available on May 2, 2024, on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and Steam.
Watch the MotoGP™24 announcement trailer below:
Aiming to deliver an experience that perfectly mirrors the emotion of real-life racing, the series continues to add some of the features most frequently requested by the community. Following the introduction of Dynamic Weather and the Flag-to-Flag races last year, MotoGP™24 will get players even closer to the real competition through the addition of the Riders Market and the Stewards.
Marc Márquez’s move from the Repsol Honda Team to the Independent Gresini Racing MotoGP™ Team, riding a Ducati, was a seismic move in MotoGP™. From now on such twists and turns can also play out in the official videogame thanks to the new Riders Market, which opens up endless possibilities for riders to move to other teams. That means every season will start with a different roster, and players will not only compete to win races and championships but also to find a new seat or retain their current one. Likes and replies on the fictional Social Network will even fuel rumours about possible rider transfers.
The new MotoGP™ Stewards will be responsible for monitoring the race and any timed session during the weekend, penalising riders and AI alike based on their behaviour on the track. From simple Warnings to Long Lap or TimePenalties, as well as Let Pass orders in case of unfair overtaking up to cancelled qualifying times, both players and AI will incur penalties if they break the rules. Irresponsible riding will even have greater consequences on rivalries with other riders.
The Riders Market and the Stewards provide players with the most dynamic career mode developed in a MotoGP™ game, complementing the new design introduced in the previous chapter.
Most importantly of all, Milestone’s commitment to giving every fan the best playing experience has led to the introduction of a new “Adaptive Difficulty” system. The system dynamically adjusts the difficulty of opponents based on the player’s performance, tailoring the game difficulty to each player’s skills. From beginners to pros, MotoGP™24 offers a great gameplay experience to everybody.
AI and physics will alsooffer substantial improvements.The AIhas been refined to replicate the real riders’ approach to racing. Former World Champions will leverage their experience, waiting before striking with the winning overtake. Rookies will be out to prove themselves from the off. In terms of game physics, a new electronic tuning system has been designed to better manage corner entry and exit, improving power delivery to control rear wheel slip and the bike’s tendency to wheelie. Another important aspect is tyre management, which has been revised to ensure the performance of all tyre compounds on various tracks while maintaining a distinct feel for each tyre.
The online section of MotoGP™24 will also be enriched with LiveGP* Championships, a new multiplayer mode conceived for the most competitive players. These are seasons composed of a certain number of LiveGPs*; players will be challenged to climb the overall Championship leaderboard by scoring points at each LiveGP* they attend. Cross-play**will also allow fans to hit the track and compete regardless of their platform and console generation, right from day one. Moreover, the 2-player local split-screen is confirmed for PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam versions to allow side-by-side challenges with friends.
Finally, through four powerful editors for helmets, stickers, racing numbers,and butt patches players will be able to unleash their imagination and share their creations online***, also available cross-platform.
“We’re delighted to unveil MotoGP24’s imminent release. As CEO, I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished in this new chapter, which for the first time in the history of the franchise will include the Riders Market, one of the longest-awaited features by our community. The whole team has invested heart and mind to craft the best possible experience for fans worldwide and my heartfelt appreciation goes out to MotoGP for being constantly at our side in this journey” – said Luisa Bixio, Milestone CEO.
“We’re excited to announce MotoGP24 with even more new features for fans,”adds Dan Rossomondo, Chief Commercial Officer of MotoGP™ commercial rights holder Dorna Sports.“What they’re looking for is what they’ll find: more updates to make the game as close as possible to the real thing, and more dynamic difficulty to ensure the pros and the new players can both maximise their experience while playing the game. Things like the riders market are great additions too, especially when you look at some of these huge team switches we’ve seen recently. I hope our fans will enjoy playing MotoGP24 as much as they love watching the sport!”.
