LOS ANGELES – March 7, 2024 – Let’s!

Stealthily teleport around the board as the Shadow, earning rewards for revealing as few tiles as possible or smashing through groups of tiles with the Trooper’s sweeping attacks. 

Utilize turn-based tactics and deductive reasoning to traverse the land of Beebom. With every tile turned, discover opportunities to acquire items and abilities for an upper hand in this adventure leading to an epic final showdown with the villainous King. Meet Shopkeepers and a wealth of other helpful friends on this journey, each character more memorable than the last.

Forego tricky calculations and fickle probabilities with approachable board-game-inspired mechanics. Approach each interaction with strategy and precision. Collect over 100 items and abilities with the potential to deal a final blow to the vicious King.

The quest for liberation has never looked so gorgeous and inviting! Plan the next move, topple fierce enemies, and befriend helpful strangers, all set to beautifully detailed hand-drawn animation and cheeky dialogue. Get lost in a chill, vibrantly sonic world inspired by game scores of the late nineties crafted by long-time BUCK collaborator Antfood.

“We are incredibly grateful for all of the love and support that people have already shown Let’s! Revolution!, and we can’t wait to reach even more communities on these new platforms,” said Emily Rickard, CEO of BUCK. “The journey has only begun, so Minesweeper maniacs and turn-based strategists alike can prepare for Let’s! Revolution! on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox this April!”

About Fallout

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them. 

Ella Purnell is Lucy, an optimistic Vault-dweller with an all-American can-do spirit. Her peaceful and idealistic nature is tested when she is forced to the surface to rescue her father. Aaron Moten is Maximus, a young soldier who rises to the rank of squire in the militaristic faction called Brotherhood of Steel. He will do anything to further the Brotherhood’s goals of bringing law and order to the wasteland. Walton Goggins is the Ghoul, a morally ambiguous bounty hunter who holds within him a 200-year history of the post-nuclear world.

4J Studios’ popular high-octane party game revs up across all major platforms, introducing chaotic carnage with a brand-new “Versus” mode

Nintendo Switch players can experience new content and features with a free update today

DUNDEE, Scotland – March 7, 2024 – 4J Studios, acclaimed for its console adaptations of Minecraft, has today launched its first proprietary title, Manic Mechanics, on PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The Nintendo Switch edition of the game is also receiving a free update today including all-new game content and features.

First released on Nintendo Switch in 2023, Manic Mechanics is an accelerated, mechanically-minded addition to the chaotic couch co-op and online multiplayer canon. The all-formats launch introduces a host of new content, including a (potentially friendship-ending) “Versus” mode, a whole-new neighborhood, new characters, and entertaining twists to some of the most popular levels.

In Manic Mechanics, up to four players pull on their overalls and head to the auto-obsessed Octane Isle, looking to make a name for themselves as traveling mechanics. It’s a race against the clock to repair as many cars (trucks, choppers, tractors, mini-subs and UFOs…) as possible! The faster you work, the more chaos is unleashed; intricate mechanical processes are hindered by fuel spills, exploding tires, short-circuiting robots, stampeding cows, and even alien abductions, with hilariously chaotic consequences.

With over 30 levels to experience across Octane Isle’s six neighborhoods, this won’t be an easy ride. So grab your toolbelt, round up your friends and see if you have what it takes to become a Manic Mechanic!

Manic Mechanics is available to purchase today on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and PlayStation Store. A free update is also available for players on Nintendo Switch, giving access to all the new game modes and content. Own a Switch, but new to Manic Mechanics? You can grab the game today on the Nintendo eShop!
