News of the surprise launch was featured in today’s Nintendo Direct showcase.

The all-new 3D platforming game from Private Division and Evening Star has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. It’s time to YO!

Australia – February 22, 2024 – Private Division, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Evening Star announced today that Penny’s Big Breakaway is out now for the Nintendo Switch™ family of systems, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. From the team that brought you Sonic Mania comes this imaginative new kinetic 3D platformer bursting with innovative gameplay. Playing as Penny, the ‘yo-tagonist’, you swing, dash, flip, zip, and trick your way through a variety of challenging and beautifully stylised levels. Over the course of 11 exciting game worlds and dozens of levels, Penny and her comic Yo-Yo companion must escape capture from Eddie the Emperor and his penguin forces.

“Great platformers are iconic in our industry, and we think Penny’s Big Breakaway stands out as a truly unique and incredibly fun entry in such a beloved genre,” said Christian Whitehead, Creative Director at Evening Star. “We have been thrilled with the fan response to Penny’s Big Breakaway so far and can’t wait to see the leaderboards light up as players get into the game.”

Penny’s Big Breakaway provides non-stop action as you try to escape the impending penguin horde at every turn. These waddling, avian adversaries will burst from walls, rush over cliffs, and attempt to dogpile you to stop your progress. But don’t fret — Penny is an agile and acrobatic aerialist. You will jump, spin, and ride over a variety of brightly coloured and complex terrains, featuring steep ramps, sharp ledges, massive cliffs, and more. Every obstacle is an opportunity to increase your speed, allowing you to use the environment to your advantage and gain a bit of breathing room from those flightless assailants in hot pursuit. Momentum is key, because in addition to Story Mode, Penny’s Big Breakaway also includes a Time Attack Mode, where you can try and achieve the perfect run and set high scores on the leaderboard for the world to see.

Penny isn’t the only star of this show: her trusty partner Yo-Yo, while largely to blame for causing this chase, provides plenty of abilities to assist in your getaway. Throughout the game, you can unlock tasty treats which her Yo-Yo can snack on. When consumed, these delicious items will temporarily unlock new power ups such as increased movement speed, a protective shield, and many more. In addition to powerups, Penny’s Yo-Yo can pick up various single-use tools, which can be used to bust down walls revealing secret treasure or magnetically attach to new surfaces for greater exploration. Her versatile Yo-Yo might be hungry for chaos, but it could also be just the trick to clear her name and absolve her of this massive mix-up.

“The team of developers at Evening Star have a strong track record in creating incredible platforming experiences, and with Penny’s Big Breakaway they’ve created an entry into the genre that’s nonstop fun with broad appeal,” said Rachael Berkman, Producer at Private Division. “From platforming enthusiasts to adamant speedrunners alike, we think Penny will capture the hearts of players around the world.”

Penny’s Big Breakaway is available now for the Nintendo Switch family of systems, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Penny’s Big Breakawayis rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.

More weapon, structure, saddle, and armor cosmetics will be released in the coming months.
   
• Master The Battlefield: Hundreds of different weapons, armor, and large-scale warfare equipment accurate to historic warring periods are featured. From decorative broadswords, heavy-bladed polearms, and “heaven-shaking” gunpowder explosives, choose weapons and gear that best suit different battlefield scenarios and your playstyle. This full launch adds powerful mechanical base defenses, wooden oxen, and new combat equipment to further enrich the game’s deep war experience.
   
• Wage War by Land, Air and Sea: New land-based vehicles of war include siege wagons, ballistas, climbing tools for towering walls and catapults, and now adds transportation by air and seas with soaring gliders and giant sky lanterns, as well as rafts and massive warships.
   
• A Menagerie of Tameable Beasts: Horses are an important part of ancient warfare and critical to great military victories! Motion capture with live horses were used to create realistic animations for rearing, bucking, attacking and jumping. Nearly all creatures in the game can be tamed to fight alongside you in battle, for transportation, and for collecting resources. Now players will discover new methods to breed animals with inherited and strengthened attributes to be more powerful and efficient.

• Expand Your Rule: The bloody, immersive battles of Myth of Empires showcase an arsenal of authentic ancient weapons and siege equipment. New defensive structures and mechanical collection tools for Version 1.0 will liberate players’ creativity and enable them to build ever more advanced and powerful empires.
   
• Modding Support: A robust modding tool gives players more power over the world of Myth of Empires than ever before.
   
• New Civilizations Are Coming: A steady flow of content is planned for the PC version with Persian, Greek and Egyptian maps in development with all new structures, weapons, tools and equipment, alongside a console release later this year.
