April 4th 2024 – Developer Argonwood, and publisher Deck13 Spotlight, are thrilled to announce a free content update and the first ever DLC for their epic turn-based strategy title Rising Lords. The free Dellpiani update is now available for PC, with consoles coming very soon. Following the successful launch in January, Lords and Ladies can now enjoy even more ways to manage their realms and defend their lands.

Discover the Dellpiani heritage

Since the events of Rising Lords‘ gripping main story, some time has passed in the medieval lands of Aubelin. It is further south that this content update takes place: Meet the Dellpiani nobles, proud descendants of the lost Lyrean Empire!

Based on the southern coast of Aubelin, they are brilliant merchants with a strong focus on seafaring and trade, their ships protected by professional crossbowmen in heavy armor. Along with this new heritage comes an engaging two-player map that pits you against each other for the precious and resourceful islands of the Lyrean coast.

Experience the ways of a Dellpiani noble, alone or with friends, in all Rising Lords scenarios!

Explore faraway lands

There’s even more to come: Have a look at this special preview of Rising Lords’ very first DLC! Instead of returning to the familiar lands of Aubelin, prepare for an all-new adventure as you encounter an entirely new civilisation. Say goodbye to the lush meadows and dense forests you know, as you venture out onto the sands.

More details will be revealed over the coming months, so stay tuned and in the meantime, have fun with the free Dellpiani update!

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK – March 26th, 2023 – VoxPop Games Inc. today announced the indie horror hit Outer Terror is coming to consoles April 12th,2024. Released on PC last year to critical acclaim, Outer Terror was most recently nominated by the New York Video Games Critics Circle as the year’s “Best Hidden Gem” and will be VoxPop’s first game to arrive on consoles. Outer Terror will be available on Xbox X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch.

“Outer Terror is a testament to VoxPop’s commitment towards elevating indie developers to greatness and we are so proud to bring this tremendous indie hidden gem crafted by Salt & Pixel to the wider purview of home entertainment consoles and an entirely new global audience.” said Marc Anthony Rodriguez, co-founder & COO of VoxPop Games, who served as Executive Producer for Outer Terror. “Expanding on our new publishing partnership with Ratalaika Games, this will be the first VoxPop Games property on consoles and we couldn’t be more excited. As we level up our new middleware platform, our university initiative, our publishing capabilities, we welcome all partnerships with new and up & coming studios and independent game makers who know they have something special and want VoxPop to enhance their voices.”

In Outer Terror you’ll choose from 10 unique survivors each with their own persona tied weapons and special skill attacks to rage through relentless waves of otherworldly terrors. Whether playing solo or co-op, each playthrough of Outer Terror will give players a different experience with randomized weapons and upgrade choices, enemy patterns, and areas of the map. You thought that safe zone would be in the same spot as last time? Think again, you’ll have to slaughter your way through enemies to find it with each playthrough.

The game is packed to the gills in Lovecraftian evil. It’s brutal, campy and surreal. It’s a well-crafted homage to the golden age of horror comics and the B-movies of the 80’s and 90’s. It’s Outer Terror from VoxPop Games and console publisher, Ratalaika Games S.L. are getting ready to knock your socks off.

Each volume in Outer Terror brings a new storyline and gameplay scenario, with each run, along with increasing difficulty reminding players, DON’T DIE, in what feels as if they’ve jumped right onto the pages of a living comic book.

Outer Terror will be available April 12 on Xbox X/S, PS4/5, and Nintendo Switch for €9.99 EUR / $9.99 USD.

Outer Terror marks the first console game launch for VoxPop Games’ new peer-to-peer games distribution and development platform, where multiple stakeholders, including the developer, artists, and voice actors, will be paid directly from the VoxPop platform. The middleware toolset VoxPop offers, allows game developers to use equity in their games as an advanced resource for both team profit-sharing and launch marketing.

Features

• Pixelated bullet hell styled chaos: combine weapons and automatically fire as you wade through unrelenting waves of enemies (best keep moving though or you might go splat).
• An S+ class/B movie styled cast: choose from 10 survivors reminiscent of classic horror protagonists. Find out how they survived, level up their attributes and teach them new skills to make enemies go splat.
• Multiple game modes: choose from solo story mode, completing side quests and going at it alone, or play with a buddy in co-op.
• A constant gorefest: roguelite elements make each playthrough its own bloody adventure with randomized weapon buff pick-ups, upgrade options, maps, and even enemy paths.
• A classic throwback: play through 5 volumes of stories inspired by classic horror comics and films with boss battles tearing straight out of a Lovecraftian yarn.
