Devs to roll out physical editions for consoles

Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara Launch Pushed Back to 2023

<a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/oddballers/">Oddballers</a>, an upcoming dodgeball-inspired game, finally has a release date. According to France-based game publisher Ubisoft, it will launch on PC and game consoles on January 26, 2023. Their announcement came roughly 10 months after they decided to delay the game’s release.

The game will be available on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/oddballers/">PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/oddballers/">Nintendo Switch</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/oddballers/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/oddballers/">PlayStation 5</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/oddballers/">Xbox One</a> Ubisoft added. They also said <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/oddballers/">Xbox Series X|S</a> players can access the upcoming 3D multiplayer party game through compatibility mode.

Oddballers’ launch date was initially set for March 28, 2022. Twenty days before its scheduled release, Ubisoft decided to postpone its launch. They said the developers needed more time to make improvements to the game.

Oddballers is created by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/game-swing/">Game Swing</a>. The Danish developer has changed its name from “Reign Bros.” They made another game about dodgeball called <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/stikbold-a-dodgeball-adventure/">Stikbold: A Dodgeball Adventure</a>. Oddballers’ publisher and developers promised a “refreshing and absurd” take on dodgeball.

<q>A new type of dodgeball game, players in Oddballers can throw anything and everything at their opponents to win,</q> Ubisoft said. <q>The more absurd, the better,</q> they added.

In it, a team of four to six players engages in a “whacky and brutal” battle of dodgeball. Players can choose to play either online or solo.

According to Ubisoft, <q>each match comes with customizable accessibility features, allowing players to adjust match length and difficulty.</q>
The game also features multiple arenas, dozens of mini-games, and customizable avatars.

In 2020, a limited, four-player demo release of the game was released. Several gamers and YouTubers published videos showing previews of what the actual gameplay would look like.

Ubisoft has begun accepting preorders for Oddballers, which is currently priced at US$19.99.

The developers of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/reigns/">Reigns</a>, the hit <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/genre/card">card-based game</a>, have launched another title exclusively for mobile phone players. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/reigns-three-kingdom/">Reigns: Three Kingdoms</a> will be available on Netflix Games on November 29, according to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/nerial/">Nerial</a> and Devolver Digital. The game is the fifth entry in the award-winning Reigns franchise.

<a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/reigns-three-kingdom/">Reigns: Three Kingdoms</a> is loosely based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Its main storyline takes place during the last years of the Han Dynasty. 

Players navigate their way through one of Imperial China's most turbulent periods. They start the game as street beggars. And they need to climb the social ladder to rule all 14 regions of Imperial China.

"Players will explore the many factions, wars, and heroes of the epic story, negotiating with rivals, strengthening alliances, converting enemies, and recruiting soldiers to fight," developers said.

A "metaphysical twist" also awaits them. In it, they will have to race against time "to understand the consequences their actions will have on history." Developers promised to bring more elements and features to Reigns: Three Kingdoms.

<q>(It) expands on the principles explored in the previous Reigns games by creating a unique battle system,</q> Nerial and Devolver Digital wrote in a press statement. <q>(These will bring) new dimension to the game's core concept,</q> they added.

The new battle system is one of the new features in Reigns: Three Kingdoms. According to its creators, the game will have a player-vs-AI option and an online asynchronous PvP mode.

Aside from an evolved battle system, the game boasts over 100 characters, 1,500 card permutations, and dozens of quests.

Netflix Games is the streaming giant's game service. Subscribers of the platform can play over 40 titles for free using their mobile phones.

Last November 29, Netflix dropped at least seven new games, including Reigns: Three Kingdoms.

Reigns: Three Kingdoms Launches on Netflix Games

Polish game studio <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/thing-trunk/">Thing Trunk</a> has tapped Skystone Games for the release of its deck builder title <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/hellcard/">HELLCARD</a>. 

The two gaming companies confirmed their tie-up ahead of HELLCARD's release. The <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/upcoming/" title="List of upcoming PC games">upcoming game will land on PCs</a> in early 2023.

Executives from Thing Trunk and Skystone Games revealed that they shared the same enthusiasm for HELLCARD's potential. Konstanty Kalicki from Thing Trunk said they are glad to have joined forces with Skystone.

<q>Skystone's team is packed with talent and publishing expertise. Even more importantly though, we understand each other and are surprisingly aligned,</q> Kalicki said.

Renowned game developer David Brevik currently leads Skystone Games. After the first Diablo game sold well and got good reviews, Brevik became well-known in the video game industry. He previously worked for Blizzard. He also once served as the co-founder and president of Blizzard North.

For his part, Brevik, who sits as Skystone's President, said their team became an instant fan of HELLCARD.

<q>It's got the same amazing visual style in <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/book-of-demons/">Book of Demons</a>, with the kind of just-one-more-run gameplay that makes games of the genre so beloved,</q> Brevik pointed out. <q>We're thrilled that Konstanty and the entire Thing Trunk team are trusting us to help them bring HELLCARD to the masses next year,</q> he added.

In the meantime, developers said they had opened sign-ups for the game's closed beta test. 

Creators described HELLCARD as a "cooperative roguelike deck builder" game. It is the second major project for Thing Trunk. HELLCARD's storyline will take place in the same "Paperverse" as Book of Demons. Players can choose to play either in <a href="https://whatoplay.com/upcoming/single-player/">single-player</a> or <a href="https://whatoplay.com/upcoming/multiplayer/">multiplayer</a> modes. To win, they must conquer 'strategic and fast-paced' card-based battles.

HELLCARD will be available for download via Steam.

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9pwa-eCDhHg?controls=0" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

The developers have confirmed that Divine Knockout, initialized as DKO	, will feature cross-platform play. However, the game's <a href="https://www.divineknockout.com/">official website</a> states that in order to do so, players must obtain an Edition or access key.

<q>Note that purchasing DKO on one platform will not give you access to play DKO on other platforms,</q> portions of the online FAQ read. <q>You must have access to DKO on a platform (either by purchasing an Edition or getting an access key in a giveaway) to be able to play on that platform,</q> it added.

According to a press release, there will be two Editions for DKO. These are the Founders Edition and the Ultimate Edition.

In DKO, players become mythological gods or goddesses drawn in chibi art style. They must master their characters' abilities to knock out their enemies. They also need to learn how the different arenas work so they can get the upper hand in battle.

<q>DKO is a world of expressive characters and destructible environments,</q> Alexandre Grimonpont, Executive Producer at <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/red-beard-games/">Red Beard Games</a>, said.

When it comes out, players can jump right into all game modes, including 1v1 and 3v3. These include Knockout, King of the Hill, Coin Blitz, and Oddball.

DKO is currently in closed beta testing. Players, however, can already wishlist the game on Steam, Epic Game Store, and PlayStation. In the meantime, the developers promised an action-packed multiplayer fight where players could use the powers of their chosen god without having to use complicated controls.

<q>DKO is all about timing, positioning, and moment-to-moment choices – not button complexity,</q> said Alex Cantatore, Vice President of Publishing at Red Beard Games.

Cats & Soup Reaches 30 Million Downloads

The Nintendo Switch version of the classic puzzle <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/genre/platformer">platformer</a> <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/oddworld-soulstorm/">Oddworld: Soulstorm</a> is now live in North America. Microids and Oddworld Inhabitants confirmed the launch of Oddworld: Soulstorm - Oddtimized Edition. They released the game on the eShop last November 18.

The 2.5D side-scrolling game first came out for Switch players in Europe on October 27. According to earlier reports, Oddworld: Soulstorm - Oddtimized Edition currently costs US$50. Switch players need at least 11.2 GB of free space to download the game.

The remastered grimy, action and puzzle game that made the rave in the late 90s also served as the sequel to Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty.

<q>Optimized for Nintendo Switch to take advantage of the platform's unique features, this version features the same amazing Soulstorm gameplay currently found on the other platforms, with a delightful Switch flavor,</q> developers said.

Oddworld: Soulstorm - Oddtimized Edition takes players in the aftermath of the revolution in RuptureFarms. They will lead the protagonist, Abe, in liberating another 1,000 Mudokons from the oppressive grasp of the industrialist Glukkons.

Along the way, they must confront an uncertain future and a forgotten past. Players will need to use Abe's instincts and skills to protect themselves from enemy attacks, avoid detection, and ignite a revolution.

The story also has four unique endings derived from the players' choices at each level.

Oddworld: Soulstorm - Oddtimized Edition has 15 levels. It also has two extra unlockable levels at the end of the game. Players earn Quarma scores at the end of every level based on how many Mudokons they save.

Developers said gamers with higher Quarma scores could expect good and happy endings. But 'dire fate' awaits those with lower scores.

Players need not worry, the developers added, as they can go back to any level and improve their Quarma scores.

Oddworld: Soulstorm became available for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/oddworld-soulstorm/">PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/oddworld-soulstorm/">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/oddworld-soulstorm/">PS5</a> in April 2021. Enhanced Editions later rolled out in November of the same year, coinciding with the game's <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/oddworld-soulstorm-enhanced-edition/">Xbox One</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/oddworld-soulstorm-enhanced-edition/">Series X|S</a> releases.

Indie developer Tomasz 'Petums' Ostafin worked on the game for around six years. Ostafin, who is from Poland, used real paper models to visualize the fictional world, according to Feardemic.
 
<q>Papetura is a labor of love and a love letter to both the craft of paper modeling and to old-school adventure games,</q> they said. The game will also feature "fragile music" from Floex to set the players' mood while exploring the paper-based fantasy.
 
Papetura received multiple accolades from award-giving bodies. These included "Excellence in Visual Art" for the Independent Games Festival.
 
It also got the Best Art, Best Audio, and Indie Grand Prix awards at the 2021 Pixel Awards Europe. The Central and Eastern European Awards also named Papetura the winner of their Visual Art and Hidden Gem categories.

He suspects that the stranger has afflicted their town with a curse. At the same time, Ayumi cannot explain why he feels attracted to her.
 
Fandiño said Last Time I Saw You based on his own heartbreak experience.
 
<q>I decided to take all the conflicting emotions I had inside and try to make something useful with them,</q> Fandiño explained.
 
The developer added that he hoped the coming-of-age game would also help gamers who went through the same difficult phase in life.
 
<q>(I hope the game will become) into a somewhat healing experience that other people could also enjoy and relate to,</q> said Fandiño.
