“At Ares Interactive, we’re building games with the quality and staying power to earn players’ time and attention,” said Mike DeLaet, President of Ares Interactive. “The Walking Dead: Aftermath combines Swift Games’ strengths in action, progression, and replayability with the intensity and survival drama that has made The Walking Dead an enduring franchise. AMC’s trust in our team speaks to the strength of what we’re building at Ares, and this partnership marks an important step as we continue to create interactive experiences and player communities built to last.”
“The Walking Dead continues to capture so many fans’ imaginations, seamlessly blending the drama of survival in extreme circumstances with the thrill of full-throttle action,” commented Clayton Neuman, VP of Games & Franchise at AMC “Our partners at Ares Interactive have created an experience that captures the dangers of the apocalypse, along with the sheer fun of battling herds of walkers. The Walking Dead: Aftermath is easy to pick up, impossible to put down, and we can’t wait for people to play it.”

Better Than Dead will launch on May 12, bringing its raw, close-quarters combat and relentless, revenge-driven action to players in a tightly focused, high-intensity experience.
Alongside the announcement, a new trailer offers a closer look at the game’s uncompromising tone and fast, lethal gameplay, showcasing the dense urban environments and moment-to-moment intensity that define the experience.
Set across a series of photorealistic locations inspired by classic Hong Kong action cinema, Better Than Dead puts players in the role of a survivor who’s done suffering. Armed with a pistol and a clear objective, every level is a direct, no-nonsense assault-fast, violent, and personal.
Built around immediacy and tension, the game strips away excess to focus on what matters: movement, reaction, and execution. Encounters are short, unforgiving, and decisive. Mistakes are costly. Success is earned.

Snail Games USA are pleased to unveil the second Dev Diary for their upcoming AAA space-themed “open universe” survival title, For The Stars. Playing as an intrepid explorer and scientist, For The Stars invites you to travel from world to world, uncovering the secrets of alien civilizations, seeking out rare and exotic creatures and harnessing resources to tame the treacherous biomes you encounter on a vast array of diverse planets waiting to be explored.
Hot on the heels of its presentation at last month’s GDC (Game Developers Conference), this sneak peak at For the Stars features an overview at the base-building and survival gameplay you’ll encounter as you go on your intergalactic expedition. Upon landing on a new planet, you’ll need to create an automated factory of pipes, ducts, conveyer belts, and drones to move liquids, solids, and gasses from extraction to storage.
Gathering resources won’t be easy, as you’ll need to make difficult decisions about what sorts of vehicles to take to survive the hazardous climates and creatures you’ll encounter, as well as haul a worthwhile amount of cargo back to your base. Ecosystems are fully organic in For The Stars, so wiping out a nest of alien insects will have a domino effect across the neighboring flora and fauna.
In For The Stars’ ambitious persistent multiplayer universe, you will establish and expand outposts across the cosmos, conquer the challenges of hostile biomes, forge alliances, and build a legacy that spans the galaxy.
Key Features of For The Stars:
Diverse Worlds: Each planet you visit offers new challenges and rewards, with distinct ecosystems, creatures and resources. From lush, verdant worlds to barren, rocky landscapes, the variety ensures no two explorations are the same.
Strange Alien Ruins: Discover remnants of lost civilizations, ancient ruins, and hidden treasures that tell the stories of the cosmos.
Unique Resources: Collect and harness strange resources found on different planets. Build advanced outposts, craft powerful tools, and develop cutting-edge technology needed to overcome each world’s challenges.
Advanced Construction: Establish and expand outposts on various planets. Balance your needs with laboratories, factories, and living quarters. Your ingenuity and strategy will determine the success of your colonies and determine if they can withstand the trials of space.
Extensive Research: Start with advanced technologies that you can innovate on. Unlock new technologies by studying alien artifacts and natural phenomena. Research to help you overcome specific challenges, build more efficient outposts, create advanced equipment, and explore further into the unknown.
Customizable Spacecraft: Design and build your own spacecraft to travel between planets. Each ship can be tailored to your specific needs using resources and technology you have found, whether it’s for combat, exploration, or resource gathering.
Dynamic Combat: Engage in fast-paced combat using both futuristic weapons and special abilities with alien origins. Customize your arsenal for counterplay against hostile alien creatures, enemy players, and other threats.
Multiplayer Exploration: Team up with friends or make new allies as you explore the galaxy together in a persistent multiplayer universe. Collaborate on building projects, share discoveries, and tackle challenges as a united front. Choose to enter contested regions to fight other players for control of the galaxy.
