BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND – May 17, 2018 – Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, the open-world adventure from the former Activision producer and Rocksteady veterans at Prideful Sloth in which players explore the vibrant but troubled island of Gemea, is available today on Nintendo Switch. A Switch-exclusive photo mode will help you capture precious moments and share them with your friends.

As a young, customizable heroine or hero destined for greatness, your journey begins humbly enough as you set sail on the open waters. One surprise storm and shipwreck later you find yourself on the gorgeous island known as Gemea. Yet not all is right here, as a shadowy substance known as Murk has spread throughout the land. Determined to help rid the island of Murk and earn your keep, you must farm, craft, cook, brew, fish, and explore.

The only way to truly dispel Murk is to discover magical sprites hidden throughout the land. Assisting the townsfolk by working the land and providing food for them unveils the sprites’ locations. Once the Murk has been dispelled more of Gemea becomes accessible. Eight beautiful biomes from peaceful plains to frozen valleys with day, night, and weather cycles brim with secrets and even adorable animals to befriend.

Yonder’s pleasant world makes for a perfect portable adventure. Relax at the end of the day in Gemea as you let the troubles fade from your mind. A fully-featured Switch-exclusive photo mode helps you share those tender moments with friends.

“Despite that pesky Murk, Gemea is a land of warmth and tranquility,” said Cheryl Vance, co-founder and director at Prideful Sloth. “We want players to enjoy getting their hands dirty by living off the land from the comfort of their couch.”

Yonder is available digitally for $29.99 USD on the Nintendo eShop, and will be available via physical retail for $39.99 on June 12 in the United States and June 15 in Europe and Australia.

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is playable in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

May 15, 2018 – 11 bit studios and Digital Sun are ecstatic to reveal the super serious and one hundred percent definitive Moonlighter ‘Super Official Platforms Comparison’ Trailer. Highlighting all the big differences between the ‘PC Master Race’ version and consoles, viewers will experience nothing short of shock and awe when they see it for themselves. In this Action-RPG game about Will, an ambitious shopkeeper by day and an adventurer by night, every little detail, from hair rendering to realistic water effects, will blow your mind. See it in all its stunning graphical realism now! (Moonlighter look fantastic across all systems, and its pixel animation is deliciously charming!)

After you’ve been convinced that all those differences are vitally important, you can go to GOG.com and Humble Store to pre-order the game. For PS4 owners the pre-order is launching today as well. Moonlighter will land on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on May 29th and the Nintendo Switch version is planned for Q3 2018.

Created by Digital Sun, published by 11 bit studios, and partnered with Merge Games for retail distribution, Moonlighter’s story dates back to a time long past when a set of magical gates was discovered during an archaeological excavation. People quickly realized that these ancient passages lead to different realms and dimensions — providing brave and reckless adventurers with treasures beyond measure. Rynoka, a small commercial village, was founded near the excavation site providing refuge and became a place for adventurers to sell their hard-earned riches. Moonlighter is an Action-RPG with rogue-lite elements following the daily struggles of the aforementioned Will, Rynoka’s ambitious shopkeeper that dreams of becoming a hero.

BORDEAUX, France (May 9, 2018) — Motion Twin is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Merge Games to bring Dead Cells to retail for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation®4!

Having sold more than 700,000 copies while in Steam Early Access, the developers at Motion Twin can’t wait for console players to see the finished result of their hard work in Early Access.

“We’ve been absolutely floored by the success of Dead Cells and the reaction of the PC gaming community. So many people have asked for the game on console, so partnering with Merge for a retail copy just makes sense. We can’t wait to welcome console players to our community, to hear their feedback and to work with them on future updates of the game.”
—Steve Filby, Producer at Motion Twin

Dead Cells is currently available in Early Access on Steam and GOG.com for $19.99 USD. With the release out of Early Access, the price is likely to increase.

About Dead Cells:

Dead Cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what’s happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed Island. Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, permadeath and of course, the emergency panic roll, make for a demanding, visceral and cathartic action game.
