“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” is directed by Wes Ball (the “Maze Runner” trilogy) and stars Owen Teague (“IT”), Freya Allan (“The Witcher”), Kevin Durand (“Locke & Key”), Peter Macon (“Shameless”), and William H. Macy (“Fargo”). The screenplay is by Josh Friedman (“War of the Worlds”) and Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver (“Avatar: The Way of Water”) and Patrick Aison (“Prey”), based on characters created by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, and the producers are Wes Ball, Joe Hartwick, Jr. (“The Maze Runner”), Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Jason Reed (“Mulan”), with Peter Chernin (the “Planet of the Apes” trilogy) and Jenno Topping (“Ford v. Ferrari”) serving as executive producers.

11 bit studios is proud to announce a new collaboration with AMD focused on technological development and mutual support. This applies to all games currently under development at 11 bit studios – Frostpunk 2, The Alters, Codename Project 8 – alongside upcoming titles within the 11 bit studios publishing division—The Invincible (launches Nov. 6th) from Starward Industries, The Thaumaturge (launches Dec. 5th) from Fool’s Theory, and more to be revealed.
Through the collaboration, the two companies will work together to optimize 11 bit games for performance and with open source technology that works across multiple gaming platforms, including PCs, laptops, handhelds, and consoles.
“11 bit is stepping up as a developer and publisher, establishing cooperation with a top global tech company,” said 11 bit studios board member Pawel Feldman. “For us, gameplay is super important, but so is technology and we’ve got an awesome tech partner for years to come.”
“There is always a constant need to push gaming technology further, to make each generation of video games deliver astounding visuals,” followed up Szymon Jabłoński, Director of Technology at 11 bit studios. “For the engineers working on the tech it’s an exciting challenge and to face that challenge we’re working closely with AMD. Our games are unique and have many different angles of focus. Working with AMD we can include some of their incredible technologies like AMD FidelityFXTM Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) in our latest titles, and optimize those titles to maximize performance and visual fidelity on AMD RyzenTM processors and AMD RadeonTM GPUs.”
“11 bit Studios is a world class developer with a strong history of releasing exciting and innovative games that push the boundaries of technology,” said Cedrick Collomb, corporate VP of Software Development at AMD. “We are delighted to work with them on their next generation of titles that are sure to delight users, helping to ensure that these amazing new games deliver incredible experiences.”
You can check out a sneak peek of our work with AMD in this high-resolution trailer for The Invincible captured on an all-AMD powered PC. The game launches on November 6th and you can watch the trailer here.
In addition to cutting-edge technology, the collaboration also carries over to include co-marketing efforts. For example, AMD served as the official hardware partner at 11 bit studios’ booths at Gamescom, PAX West, and Poznan Game Arena this year.
Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room today introduced Phyre, the lead protagonist in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. An Elder Kindred Embraced during the early 17th Century, Phyre influences Seattle’s power structures with fully-voiced conversations. Players will customize this protagonist, choosing gender and clan – as well as outfits, behavior and the blood they feed on, all of which affect the way Seattle reacts to Phyre and their progression. Paradox will announce
the playable vampire clans on the game’s website in the coming weeks.
In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, players choose one of four clans for Phyre and begin exploring Seattle’s dark vampiric-inspired underbelly. Along the way, players learn about the world around them through Fabien, the strange and ever-present voice in Phyre’s head. With branching dialogue options, every conversation with Seattle’s powerful elites shapes how the environment and characters react to Phyre, impacting how the story unfolds.
“Creating a character that resonates with players in the World of Darkness, yet shakes up what they know about Seattle, is a core pillar of our storytelling,” said Ian Thomas, Narrative Director at The Chinese Room. “We maintain Vampire: The Masquerade’s essence and leverage its dark undertones to weave Phyre’s intricate narrative. Leveraging a protagonist adds weight to the narrative choices with room for players to customize Phyre’s background throughout the story. All these elements combine to create a deeply immersive experience that players expect from a Bloodlines game while maintaining our signature Chinese Room flair.”
“Bloodlines 2 comes to life with Phyre as they wake an Elder vampire in a very different world than they remember. They have a certain edge to every encounter, whether combat or social – a few hundred years’ practice makes for an advantage,” said Sean Greaney, Executive Vice President of World of Darkness at publisher Paradox Interactive. “Seattle adapts and changes to the choices and dialogue options players choose, resulting in a different story experience.”
Fans eager for more Bloodlines 2 content can tune in to the second season of Seattle by Night, the actual play tabletop RPG series, today at 5:00 PM PT on the Penny Arcade Twitch channel. The events that transpire in Seattle by Night set the stage for Phyre’s awakening in Bloodlines 2. Catch up on season one and watch all episodes from season two after they air every Tuesday on Penny Arcade’s YouTube channel.
To learn more about Bloodlines 2, visit the official website, follow #Bloodlines2 on all social media platforms, and join the community on the game’s Discord.

Silence and precision are key – one wrong move and the fanged monsters will rise, immediately draining the player’s life force.
“After our success with the I Expect You To Die franchise and Among Us VR, our team started exploring other ways to create suspenseful VR experiences. A small team created a prototype all about stealthily opening a vampire’s coffin, and after jumping out of our skin several times while playing it, we all could see right away it would be an amazing game,” said Jesse Schell, CEO of Schell Games. “Silent Slayer continues our tradition of pushing VR to its limits, offering players a rich, horror-filled experience overflowing with more jumpscares than you can shake a stake at!”

Diabolical Defenses – Slayers will untangle increasingly imposing and intricate traps ready to be tripped by an unsteady hand.
Tactical Tools – Players will master many unique instruments, though a stake through the heart is the only way to end it.
Creepy Crawlies – Only slayers who maintain unwavering focus will have the resilience to conquer unsettling diversions.
Jumpscares Galore – Tension builds with every move. Only the bravest of souls will survive.
An Unfolding Tale – In the end, slayers will accept their fate, souls be damned
