HONG KONG – Sept. 27, 2018 – Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption, the boss battler from publisher Another Indie and the senior AAA veterans at developer Dark Star Game Studios, will come to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Oct. 18. Discord users will also brave its dangers when Sinner debuts on Windows and Mac as a First on Discord launch title later this year, with a Steam release to follow.

Created by a team including a former Ubisoft art director, Konami senior programmer and a Blizzard technical artist, Sinner follows Adam, a soldier with a dark past. Adam embarks on a journey for absolution, facing off against monstrous beasts to reconcile his heinous crimes. Based on the seven deadly sins, these savage specters will reveal their personal connections with Adam as he advances his quest for atonement to a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.

Alternate gear can be unlocked in New Game+ mode, lending replayability to Adam’s journey for redemption.

“Sinner provides the intense action players crave in hardcore games through intimate battles that are accessible in any order,” says Iain Garner, director of developer relations, Another Indie. “By giving players the freedom to choose their path through its devilish challenges, Sinner offers player agency without sacrificing a compelling story.”

London, UK – 25th September 2018: Square Enix Collective is excited to announce Oh My Godheads will today launch on Nintendo Switch, marking the debut of the game’s brand new Party Edition.

Marking the first time the game has gone portable, Barcelona-based studio Titutitech’s celebrated couch-based multiplayer can now be taken on indoors, outdoors – pretty much absolutely anywhere. That all means that, if you fancy taking on your friends on the bus, on a plane, or even in the Doctor’s waiting room so you can check out that dodgy rash, Oh My Godheads’ brand new Party Edition on Nintendo Switch has you sorted.

“The new Party Edition of Oh My Godheads is something we’ve been looking to do ever since launch, and this new upgraded version feels perfectly at home on Nintendo Switch,” says Federico Sauret, co-CEO of Titutitech. “We created a game designed to recapture the sense of fun so many couch-based multiplayer games pulled off in the 1990s, and this is something Nintendo itself has long been a master at. It all meant Nintendo Switch was the logical home for this new Party Edition.”

Oh My Godheads manic multiplayer charges players with carrying a variety of magical Godheads back to their base, closely mirroring traditional capture-the-flag style gameplay but adding a whole heap of extra delirium thrown in for good measure. Aside from defending against each other’s attacks, gamers also have to take on the Godhead itself – a typically disobliging and hostile memento rather cool on your advances.

In addition to all the content from the original Oh My Godheads, the Party Edition includes:

●        New content including a new tower level, new godhead, and a gallery with game art.

●        New Tournament mode modality, allowing players to compete in a set number of matches with a brand new points system.

●        Refined visuals, improved core player movement (allowing you to tackle your rivals and send them flying), re-balanced levels and godheads, improved UI, and AI.

●        Trials mode can now either be played solo or in co-op mode.

●        In addition, most trials have been redesigned adding 10 new trials.

●        A brand new Platinum Medal tier for the most skilled players!

●        Optimisation to take advantage of Nintendo Switch hardware.

“This latest version takes the best elements of Oh My Godheads and builds on them brilliantly,” says Phil Elliott, Director of Indie Publishing at Square Enix West. “It’s the ultimate party game. On top of optimising play for the new format, taking the game portable means watching just where players indulge in some retro-style couch multiplayer in the coming months is going to be my own personal hobby in the weeks ahead.”

Oh My Godheads: Party Edition is available today on Nintendo Switch on with a 10% discount for the first two weeks (normal price £11.99/$14.99/€14.99). Original Oh My Godheads is already available on PS4, Xbox One and Steam for £11.99/$14.99/€14.99).

What is Oh My Godheads?

●        Hilarious couch multiplayer for 1-4 players

●        Battle computer-controlled characters in single player mode

●        ‘Capture-the-head’ gameplay supercharges capture-the-flag with uniquely powered godheads

●        Multiple magical godheads – explosions, control-switching and more

●        Bright, colourful 3D environments in world-spanning locales

●        Ridiculous cast of characters to play

●        Swords, hats, monocles and airborne pastries
