SAN FRANCISCO — JUNE 28, 2018 — ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove, the upcoming fourth entry of the beloved, funkadelic action roguelike series, releases later this year on consoles and PC. Greg Johnson, founder, HumaNature Studios, has issued the following statement providing a more exact release window and an update on the developer’s relationship with Adult Swim Games.

“We ARE releasing this year!! Right now we have our sights set on a fall release. We will be making a specific release plan announcement in regards to dates as soon as we have that nailed down.

Going forward Adult Swim Games is no longer going to be our publisher. Instead we are going back to self-publishing! Adult Swim Games has some other big titles they plan to launch this summer so when Back in the Groove pushed back, we both agreed that it made sense for them to hand us the reigns, rather than taking a chance on this getting pushed back any more. Also I’d like to say how deeply grateful I and all of us here at HNS are to Adult Swim Games. We wouldn’t have gotten this game to this point without them…seriously. Thank You Adult Swim!!

We are also going to be opening a closed beta within the next couple weeks for our early-access backers, and we’ll be looking for your feedback! Also, the Nintendo Switch version of the game is just about ready to be submitted for certification by Nintendo, and the other console versions are not too far behind. I’ll give you more details about all of this before this update is done.”

KATOWICE, POLAND – June 27, 2018 – My Brother Rabbit, the heartwarming adventure game from Artifex Mundi, invites players on an emotional trip into the dreamlands of imagination in Fall 2018.

A picture-perfect, loving family discovers that their daughter has fallen ill. While her parents set out to get her the treatment she needs, her determined older brother turns to the power of imagination to help both of them cope. While the outside world offers tragedy, these pure children envision a fantastic, surreal world that provides the innocent fun they deserve.

In this magnificent land of make-believe, a cute little rabbit living underground wants to nurse his ill friend, a flower, back to health however he can. To do so, he must use his wits to decipher puzzles inspired by classic point and clicks, uncover hidden objects, and play minigames to continue his adventure. Calmly and casually collect hidden butterflies, balloons, and other items before solving intriguing enigmas.

Devoted to this unusual journey, the innocent children continue to conjure up this increasingly curious land, incorporating components of the bleak real realm. The gorgeously odd painted vistas introduce off-putting tones the closer Toy Rabbit gets to helping the Flower. Visions of reality in the hospital creep through, but the children’s realm of escapism is always inviting. As children are wont to do, their creative minds find more and more reasons to be hopeful despite the adversity they face.

Renowned indie composer Arkadiusz Reikowski of Layers of Fear and Seven: The Days Long Gone fame has penned a score that soars around this strange scene. The wondrous sights and sounds make gorgeous, hand-painted My Brother Rabbit’s dream logic come together and invites players to rekindle the flames of their imagination.

“My Brother Rabbit’s spiritual journey recalls the power and depth of the mind’s eye,” said Maciej Binkowski, publishing director at Artifex Mundi. “The universes humans can develop can be beautifully surreal, and we want to invite players into the strange machinations in our heads.”

My Brother Rabbit will be available in Q3 2018.

June 26, 2018 — Passtech Games are always looking to surprise fans, and what better way to do that than with a free update and a bunch of discounts for every platform (up to 50% off!) for Masters of Anima. The adventure-strategy game with RPG elements received a warm welcome from players and press when it released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC last April.

Starting today, Shapers all over the world and across all platforms, will be able to adapt the game’s difficulty to their liking. From Apprentice, to Shaper and onto Master difficulty, every aspirant can now choose the challenge they want to face in the Level Selection Menu. The higher the difficulty, the less time players will have to defeat their enemies before their Primal Rage kicks in, and the less Anima will be retrieved when their Guardians are destroyed.

Get to know the game’s addictive tactical action experience and its gorgeous art style giving life to a colorful universe while using the game’s innovative control scheme to command 100 individual guardians.
