SYDNEY, NSW – Oct. 2, 2018 – Subdivision Infinity DX, the immersive and pulse-pounding sci-fi 3D space shooter from developer Mistfly Games and publisher Blowfish Studios, will blast onto Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC in early 2019.

Step into the cockpit of an intergalactic fighter and explore the great expanses of outer space. With more than 40 engaging story missions and sidequests spanning several star systems, Subdivision Infinity DX is an action-packed journey brimming with dogfights, boss battles, and more set against the stunning wild outer reaches of the cosmos.

The story begins when contractor Sgt. Jed Riddle is brought in to investigate a mining facility that has mysteriously gone radio silent. A tense shootout ensues, leading Riddle to take a closer look into what exactly is going on and the dark secrets lurking in the shadows.

Beyond the core narrative and exhilarating feeling of piloting a nimble spacecraft on the fringes of the galaxy, Subdivision Infinity DX features an array of optional content to allow players to explore the stars to their hearts content while taking on bounties, mining asteroids for rare minerals, unlocking new ships, and crafting increasingly powerful upgrades along the way.

SYDNEY, NSW – Sept. 19, 2018 – Siegecraft Commander, the action-strategy game hybrid from Blowfish Studios, is now available for Nintendo Switch™.

Lead an army onto the battlefield and construct a network of offensive and defensive structures to protect troops, strengthen positions, and topple enemy defenses. Deploy buildings by catapulting them across the warzone and thereby expanding a web of interconnected towers, each linked back to the spire that launched it, and, ultimately, the central base.

Winning a battle in Siegecraft® Commander requires tactics, knowledge of the land, and careful aiming. If a tower is destroyed, anything that structure created will crumble as well.

Well-placed shots can cause domino-like effects where large swathes of fortifications fall. Catapults can launch new structures, explosives, and even cows to disrupt the enemy. Deploy and command troops while utilizing smart positioning to buff towers’ abilities.

Siegecraft® Commander includes two single-player campaigns, starring a defensive-minded treasure-seeking band of knights as well as the offense-focused Lizardmen, both presented in storybook fashion.

Online multiplayer and local spit-screen matches are also available and support up to four players with options for both turn-based and action-packed real-time battles. Siegecraft® Commander also features cross-platform play with the previously-released Xbox One, and PC / Mac (Steam, Steam VR, and Win10) versions of the game.

“Siegecraft Commander puts a new spin on the strategy genre and allows players to enjoy the experience however they like,” said Ben Lee, CEO, Blowfish Studios. “And now via the Nintendo Switch™ version, we’re excited to provide the option to take the game on the go, as well.”

Siegecraft® Commander is available for $19.99 / £17.99 / €19.99 via the Nintendo Switch™ eShop. The game is also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac, and HTC Vive. It supports English subtitles and voice overs.

SYDNEY – Sept. 5, 2018 – Siegecraft Commander, the action-strategy game hybrid from Blowfish Studios, will hurtle toward Nintendo Switch on Sept. 19, 2018.

Lead an army of troops on a raging battlefield and construct a network of offensive and defensive structures to strengthen their positions and demolish enemy fortifications. To expand their battlements, players catapult structures across the warzone, creating a web of connected towers linking back to the spires that spawned them and, ultimately, the central base.

Every tower must connect to the last or to other structures linked to the faction’s first building. If a link in the chain is broken, everything cut off from the nexus will also crumble, leading to potential domino-esque effects where entire sections can fall with one well-placed shot.

Building fortifications is only half the battle. Catapults will launch everything from new structures to explosives and cows, all while deploying infantry to attack the opposing forces. Some placements can even buff towers’ speed and strength with magical auras, making one’s knowledge of the land, along with shrewd aim, and a keen tactical eye key to survival.

Two eight-level single-player campaigns starring either a defense-focused band of knights or a tribe of offensive Lizardmen will be presented in a storybook fashion. For those wishing to turn friend into foe, Siegecraft Commander supports local split-screen and online cross-platform multiplayer for 2-4 players between Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC. Generals can choose between tactical turn-based and action-packed RTS battles. The ability to choose a commander and toy with the tech tree means there’s a strategy for everyone.

“Whether you want to engage in more methodical turn-based battles or enjoy the chaos of real-time fights, Siegecraft Commander offers strategy fans of all stripes something to love,” said Ben Lee, CEO, Blowfish Studios. “And being able to play at either pace is a perfect match for the stay-at-home or play-on-the-go nature of the Nintendo Switch.”

Siegecraft Commander is available for pre-order at $19.99 USD / €19.99 via Nintendo Switch eShop. The game is also on sale for the same price on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam for PC, Mac, and HTC Vive.

SYDNEY – Aug. 6, 2018 – Storm Boy: The Game, an adaptation of the novella exploring the friendship between a child and his pet pelican, will soar to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac, iOS, and Android in late 2018, Blowfish Studios announced today.

Based on Colin Thiele’s 1964 children’s book of the same name, Storm Boy takes place on the beaches of South Australia near the mouth of the Murray River, where the titular protagonist rescues orphaned pelican chicks, one of whom later becomes the child’s pet and faithful companion, Mr. Percival.

Experience an interactive retelling of the classic tale by taking control of both Storm Boy and Mr. Percival in key moments, such as when the pair rescued stranded sailors during a storm. Relive their friendship and enjoy seaside activities across a wide assortment of fun and relaxing mini-games, including sand drawing, sailing, cockle hunting, playing fetch, sand surfing, pelican feeding, and more.

Players can also enjoy Storm Boy by flying around the Coorong amongst flocks of other birds or alone, taking in painterly, dream-like views of the untamed lagoons and coastline.

“Storm Boy is a classic piece of literature in Australia, and we’re proud to adapt it for a new medium,” said Ellen Jurik, Senior Producer, Blowfish Studios. “We hope players of all ages will enjoy this story, whether it’s for the first time or through a new lens, and can’t wait to share it with the world when we release it for consoles, PC, and mobile devices later this year.”

Storm Boy will be playable ahead of its release later this year PAX West and PAX Australia.
