SnowRunner Brings the Power Back with New “Season 12: Public Energy” Expansion, Out Now

PARIS Jan. 31, 2024 SnowRunner, the blockbuster off-roading experience from Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment, today releases its third expansion, “Season 12: Public Energy,” on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac. Watch Season 12’s overview trailer for a first look at all the new content now available!

Available for free to all Year 3 Pass and 3-Year Anniversary Edition owners, Season 12 invites players to the green haven of North Carolina with four new maps, numerous points of interest like power plants, crop fields and an impressive water dam, two new vehicles, and a slew of new activities.

Spring North Carolina back into action!

North Carolina’s state government needs your help to establish a nuclear power station! Participate in the construction of its reactors and supporting facilities by delivering precious, heavy cargo and equipment with your trucks. When you’re not on construction and maintenance missions, you’ll lend a hand to local farmers to cultivate their crops, and even aid local institutions in monitoring environmental pollution.

No adventure is complete without new vehicles. The MTB 8106 is a formidable scout thanks to its fantastic ground clearance and upgradable engine for superior fuel efficiency – perfect for pulling scout trailers without breaking a sweat. For the most arduous tasks, however, the FEMM 37-AT is an imposing heavy-duty truck capable of handling any terrain and delivering all cargo without limitations.

A set of 10 new stickers will also be available for all players as a free update.

A fourth year of content updates is on the way!

And there’s even more to come! SnowRunner’s Year 4 Pass is now available for purchase, with four new seasons packed with exciting content to come later this year! Players who purchase the Year 4 Pass will unlock four exclusive vehicle skins for the ANK MK28, the International PayStar 5070, the Caterpillar CT681, and the Western Star 6900 TwinSteer base game vehicles.

Save on all the content released since launch with SnowRunner’s 3-Year Anniversary Edition. For more information, check out the game’s page on the Focus Store.

Speed Crew Races To the Finish Line on Console, PC Today

UKRAINE – Jan 31, 2024 – Speed Crew, the high-octane party game from the AAA veterans at Ukrainian publisher Wild Fields, roars onto PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam today, simultaneously joining Nintendo Switch owners at the racetrack alongside the new Dominion Mode, and cross-platform play releasing shortly after in February.

Join a crew of madcap mechanics as the pit crew in charge of keeping engines revving. Start off with small garages at junkyard mud tracks, and work up to impressive tracks in exotic locales. Use different tools to refuel, repair, and replace parts as cars drift in for maintenance. Quickly coordinate with up to three other players on chaotic courses.

Mechanical malfunctions are sometimes the least of the team’s worries, as stormy weather and obscure obstacles disrupt the workflow. Overcome out-of-control conveyor belts, swaying platforms on watery canals, and pouring rain accompanied by lighting strikes. Complete escalating challenges and be rewarded with new characters, costumes, and even higher sponsorship levels.

Work together or alone in classic Campaign Mode, competing against the other pit crews and rise to the top of the leaderboards. Take on a group of unsuspecting mechanics in the new Dominion Mode. Become a double-agent, sabotage the pit crew team and halt car repairs by rigging the track, stunning players, and disabling equipment with the help of tools and power ups. 

“We want to bring new audiences, friends, and families together, for hours of fun and wacky antics,” said Daniel Pulodyonny, general Manager for Wild Fields. “We hope players’ experiences are filled with lots of laughs alongside our easy going gameplay style developed for all skill levels.”

Speed Crew is now available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam for $19.99/€19.99, and will support localized text for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, and Ukrainian.

Team Up for the Ultimate Co-op Pub Crawl in ‘Brews & Bastards’ on PC in Spring 2024

Boozy Dungeon Crawler’s First Steam Demo Featured in Steam Next Fest

DUNEDIN, NEW ZEALAND — 30 Jan. 2024 — Brews & Bastards, the co-op dungeon crawler with magical brews and drunken demons from developer Mune Studio, stumbles into the vast underbelly of Muneshine Tavern on PC via Steam in Spring 2024, and pregames with its first Steam demo, available now on PC ahead of February Steam Next Fest. The game will hit the bars on consoles at a later date.

Embark on an intoxicating quest to recover the enchanted Brew Stone from thieving demons and return endless alcohol to the masses! Navigate the unfathomably large dungeons beneath Muneshine Tavern solo or with a party of up to 4 dubious heroes wielding liquor-charged weapons. Take on this most urgent mission and become the bar’s most pie-eyed legend!

Tipsy monsters, tricky traps, and larger-than-life bar games line the maze of cellars, distilleries, and ancient depths in the tavern’s basement. Shoot cork bullets, drop big ass statues (literally!), throw Molotovs, and more at inebriated imps, goblins, and possessed jelly shots standing in the way. Step up to massive bosses in even bigger arenas and take part in supercharged tavern games. 

Bounce through some giant-sized beer pong and take aim in a game of darts against boozy bosses to gather clues to the Stone’s hidden location. Find strength in numbers and take on this valiant mission with a party of up to four challengers in local co-op, or get rowdy with some beerific buddies from far away through Steam Remote Play Together!

Choose between a handful of adventurers, each with their own playstyle, weapons, and abilities. Mix and match with each run to create the ultimate demon-dusting squad fit to out-drink anyone, or anything! When the rooms, encounters, and traps differ with each run, the good spirits never have to end.

“We’ve traditionally seen taverns as the place where good times are born and stories begin and end, but what would happen if the quest never left the bar?” said Erekose Watson, Co-Creator of Mune Studio. “Brews & Bastards delivers an over-the-top answer that we hope will strengthen the bonds between your own merry crews. Cheers to new adventures!”

Brews & Bastards’ first Steam demo is now available for PC as a part of Steam Next Fest and will take on the tavern on PC via Steam later this year.

About Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s 

The terrifying horror game phenomenon becomes a blood-chilling cinematic event, as Blumhouse— the producer of M3GAN, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man— brings Five Nights at Freddy’s to the big screen.            

The film follows Mike (Josh Hutcherson; Ultraman, The Hunger Games franchise) a troubled young man caring for his 10-year-old sister Abby (Piper Rubio; Holly & Ivy, Unstable), and haunted by the unsolved disappearance of his younger brother more than a decade before.

Recently fired and desperate for work so that he can keep custody of Abby, Mike agrees to take a position as a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. But Mike soon discovers that nothing at Freddy’s is what it seems. With the aid of Vanessa, a local police officer (Elizabeth Lail; You, Mack & Rita), Mike’s nights at Freddy’s will lead him into unexplainable encounters with the supernatural and drag him into the black heart of an unspeakable nightmare.
