London, UK – Dec. 19th, 2022 — If there were ever a game that was fitting for a shadow drop, it has to be Playstack and Cold Symmetry’s dark and unrelenting action RPG, Mortal Shell. Fresh off an appearance as part of Nintendo’s Inside the House of Indies Holiday Event today, Playstack is pleased to reveal the surprise launch of Mortal Shell: Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch. This marks the first time Mortal Shell, alongside the game’s spectacularly well-received DLC—The Virtuous Cycle and Rotten Autumn—is available in one convenient package.

Originally released on Aug. 18, 2020, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, Mortal Shell took the soulslike scene by storm as players and critics alike sang its praises in universal acclaim. Now, players who have been patiently waiting for the challenging masterpiece to make its way to Nintendo Switch can test their mettle against Mortal Shell’s fearsome adversaries for themselves.

Included in the Mortal Shell: Complete Edition, Nintendo Switch players will also gain access to the game’s two previous DLC entries, The Virtuous Cycle and Rotten Autumn.

The Virtuous Cycle, released exactly one year after launch on Aug. 18, 2021, reinvented the players’ journey through Fallgrim and beyond as adversaries cycle and shuffle upon each death in this roguelike expansion. Demanding and brutal as ever, players can never be sure what lies ahead.

Scattered across the land are pillars that will bestow new talents to inherit. With more than 100 new abilities to discover and combine together—from exotic weapon enhancements to entirely new combat maneuvers—players are free to create and develop their very own combat style.

Offering a new mini-quest, ten new skins, an alternative soundtrack, and a powerful new photo editor, Rotten Autumn was a free addition to the base game that wowed players when it was added in October 2020. Centered on Gorf, the humongous verbose amphibian whose enigmatic dialogue and mysterious intentions stirred imagination within the Mortal Shell community, players will be rewarded handsomely with up to ten new Shell shades should they satisfy his desires. From Solomon’s Dracula-inspired war paint to Eredrim’s regal yellow trim, these new skins let players demonstrate their combat mastery in a style that suits.

Stuttgart, December 13, 2022 – The year is 1986, and designer Ryuchi Nishizawa has an idea for a new game. Mr. Nishizawa wanted to create an action game with an added amount of pressure. The initial concept he came up with involved an automatic scrolling platformer, but it was too difficult, and even he couldn’t play it. Some of these elements transferred into the game we know and love as Wonder Boy, such as the iconic skateboard.

Today, more than 35 years after, Bliss Brain brings you a legendary Anniversary Collection of the universally-beloved Wonder Boy adventures in a downloadable version: Featuring 21 versions of six of the most iconic Wonder Boy games ever released, this incredible compilation brings the influential platformer series to today’s hardware, with precise ports and new features such as the ability to rewind your game at any moment, filter, shader, a save anytime option and many more that you’ll find while playing!

This collection will be released digitally by Bliss Brain on January 26th, 2023 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

The perfect blend of platforming and RPG action you can find throughout the Wonder Boy series has delighted generations of gamers, and now, the Anniversary Collection combines the beloved adventures with a complete package of Wonder Boy history, crisp chiptune audio, a menu in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Japanese languages and perfect pixel art!

Gothenburg, Sweden – December 12th, 2022 – Thunderful are pleased to announce that Wavetale is surfing onto PlayStation, Switch and PC today and Xbox tomorrow. Unravel stories of the past, save the islanders from mysterious sea creatures and discover secrets hidden under the surface. The game is available for $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 on all platforms.

In Wavetale, you begin your adventure in the decaying archipelago of Strandville, where you meet teenage girl Sigrid who lives on this small island with her stern grandmother. Sigrid befriends an enigmatic shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water and allows her to uncover the well-kept secrets of this mysterious aqueous land.

Experience a moving story about loss and reconciliation in Wavetale as you are introduced to a captivating and diverse cast of islanders from frustrated fishermen to secretive hermits – and maybe even a pirate or two as you traverse calm waters and surging waves. Document your epic journey by filling in the pages of Sigrid’s scrapbook with special drawings to learn more about the world and her abilities.

With the power of Sigrid’s newfound abilities, speed through the towering waves, swing yourself from the rooftops with your net and fight an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands. All with a bit of help from the shadows deep down below—and your cranky grandmother.

“Wavetale is set to make a huge splash with its charming story and mysterious secrets,” said Petter Magnusson, the Co-Producer of Wavetale. “I can’t wait for everyone to dive headfirst into the fun and try it on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC.”
