Warner Bros. Games today announced that Back 4 Blood, a new first-person cooperative zombie shooter, is now available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One consoles, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), PlayStation®4 (PS4™) and PC, with cross-play and cross-generation support across all launch platforms. Back 4 Blood is also available now with Xbox Game Pass via Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, Windows PCs and mobile devices through Cloud Gaming (Beta) with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. As an Xbox Play Anywhere title for both Xbox and Windows PC, Back 4 Blood owners are entitled to both Xbox and Windows PC versions with shared saves, game add-ons and achievements. Additionally, owners of Back 4 Blood on PS4™ will have access to the game on PS5™ at no extra cost.

Developed by Turtle Rock Studios, the award-winning creators of the fan-favorite Left 4 Dead franchise, Back 4 Blood combines a dynamic co-op campaign with thrilling moment-to-moment gameplay and near endless replayability that can be played with up to four friends online. The game also features a unique take on competitive, team-based strategy through the game’s PvP (Player vs. Player) Swarm mode. The Back 4 Blood campaign takes place after a catastrophic outbreak where most of humanity has either been killed or infected by a parasitic Devil Worm. Gamers can play as apocalypse veterans called Cleaners, a group of spirited zombie slayers, as they take on the infected horrors known as the Ridden in their effort to reclaim the world.

“We are thrilled to launch Back 4 Blood and partner with the talented team at Turtle Rock Studios to bring gamers an exciting new experience in the co-op zombie shooter genre,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Games. “Back 4 Blood gives players action packed gameplay with different competitive encounters that we feel fans will really have fun playing.”

“Back 4 Blood encapsulates all of the hard work by the entire Turtle Rock Studios team to deliver a brand-new, best-in-class zombie shooter,” said Chris Ashton, Co-Founder and Design Director, Turtle Rock Studios. “This is the game we envisioned for our passionate and dedicated community, and we are proud to finally see it realized for our fans to enjoy.”

Back 4 Blood features a diverse cast of eight playable characters making up the Ridden slaying crew known as the Cleaners, including Holly, Walker, Doc, Karlee, Jim, Hoffman, Evangelo and Mom. Each Cleaner has their own in-game perks and secondary weapon to complement their distinct personalities, as they take on countless Ridden variants throughout the fight, from towering Tallboys, beastly Breakers and grotesque Ogres to screeching Snitches, ravenous Hags and many more.

Back 4 Blood utilizes the innovative Card System, a new rogue-lite component that enhances the experience with each playthrough, ensuring that every gameplay session feels unique. Players can easily dive into the Card System’s vast customization options to create their own fully personalized deck of cards to combat the adaptive A.I. known as the Game Director, which monitors actions behind-the-scenes and responds accordingly by adding obstacles such as special Ridden mutations through Card System modifiers known as Corruption Cards. Players can change up the gameplay by utilizing specific cards to strategize against the Game Director, from amplifying equipment to reloading weapons, as they take on hordes of enemies in their path.

Swarm mode in Back 4 Blood accompanies the game’s cooperative campaign elements with more gut-wrenching action and a new twist on PvP gameplay. Two squads of four can face off against each other in a best-of-three series of rounds as teams swap between playing as the Cleaners and the Ridden. Points are then awarded based on how long the Cleaners can stay alive and endure Ridden attacks, with the team that clocks the most time winning the match. While playing from the Ridden perspective, gamers can choose from nine Ridden types, each with different characteristics that can be upgraded with enhancements called mutations and then used collectively to aid the team and help turn the tide as the match progresses.

The Back 4 Blood: Standard Edition is available for $59.99 (SRP). The digital only Back 4 Blood: Deluxe Edition is available for $89.99 (SRP), including the base game and Annual Pass featuring three upcoming downloadable content drops. The Back 4 Blood: Ultimate Edition is available for $99.99 (SRP) including the base game, Annual Pass, Four-Character Battle Hardened Skin Pack and additional digital in-game items (Rare Banner, Spray, Emblem and Title).

SQUARE ENIX® Ltd., and Original Fire Games today released the highly-anticipated top-down racing game CIRCUIT SUPERSTARS, a competitive game with a charming edge; built by racing fans, for racing fans. The game celebrates generations of multi-disciplinary motorsport, focusing on tactile driving that feels great – but also with a high skill ceiling, that will have players spending hours honing their perfect lap. The game is available to purchase on PC via Steam®, Xbox One, and is coming soon to the PlayStation®4 console and Nintendo Switch™ system.

Ahead of the game’s launch, CIRCUIT SUPERSTARS was thoroughly put to the test by luminaries from the motorsport and esports world, including IndyCar and former FORMULA 1 driver Romain Grosjean and FORMULA 1-star Lando Norris, alongside teammates from his esport team, Quadrant. As part of a BBC Studios and Top Gear collaboration, they were joined by a top-tier line up of motorsport, esports and YouTube stars who took on the CIRCUIT SUPERSTARS version of Top Gear’s iconic Test Track, in a unique take on the “Star in a Reasonably Fast Car” feature.

The game has launched with a special, free Top Gear DLC that offers players the opportunity to race their heroes on the iconic Top Gear Test Track. The track includes the Top Gear ‘Time Attack’ feature, giving players the unique opportunity to take to the track in a special Stig costume and perfect their racing lines against: Lando Norris, Romain Grosjean, Jamie Chadwick, Sam Bird, Steve “SuperGT” Brown, Charlie Martin, Jimmy Broadbent, Catie Munnings, Aarava and Conor Daly.

Racers will have access to the garage of their dreams, packed with 12 vehicles ready to compete on any of the 19 different tracks available, set in 13 vibrant locations. Players can enjoy a range of customisable liveries for both driver and cars, in addition to helmets and victory celebrations which can be unlocked by levelling up. There’s a racing style for everyone, with multiple motorsport disciplines represented in the game including Rallycross, Open wheel single-seaters, Trucks, GT racing and many more – and plenty more free content to come in the future!

Starting out is simple… but learning the nuances of each car’s unique handling and finding the best racing line around the corners of each track will be challenging. With the option of fuel usage, tire degradation and racing damage, even a good pit stop strategy could make the difference between hero and zero. Feel the rubber bite into the road as you pass the start/finish line and dive, with brakes squealing, into the first corner!

Whether you like to race solo or to challenge your friends, CIRCUIT SUPERSTARS features multiple racing options, including:

  • Online Multiplayer – Dive into specially-curated online multiplayer races with up to 12 players from around the globe.

Alberto Mastretta, Founder & Creative Director at Original Fire Games says: “Launching CIRCUIT SUPERSTARS is a huge accomplishment for us as a new studio, and we are so excited to release it today. This project has meant the world to us – motorsport has been a significant source of joy throughout our lives, and we have formed bonds with friends and family in physical and virtual racetracks. We have put everything we have into paying homage to the sport we love, to bring those same meaningful experiences to players.”

Evil Tonight Survival Horror Soundtrack Now Available

Scarlet Moon Records is excited to release the soundtrack to Evil Tonight composed by Peter Jones. Developed by DYA Games, Evil Tonight is a immersive survival horror title with beautiful pixel art reminiscent of the PlayStation era out on October 14, 2021 in time for Halloween. The soundtrack marks Peter Jones’s first full videogame soundtrack and covers everything from unsettling exploration themes to epic boss battles, working in a classical approach to a heart-wrenching story that explores the stresses put on those studying the performing arts. The Evil Tonight album cover features artwork by Super Famicom-era artist Koji Art and was painted on a real canvas and scanned for use in the game and soundtrack. Evil Tonight (Original Game Soundtrack) is now available on all digital music storefronts and streaming platforms:

Evil Tonight (Original Game Soundtrack) on Bandcamp
Evil Tonight (Original Game Soundtrack) on Spotify
Evil Tonight (Original Game Soundtrack) on Apple Music

“Scoring Evil Tonight was a surprisingly personal experience (aside from the fact that the performance hall of my alma mater, Drury University, is long said to be haunted by its own student of yore as well!),” reflects composer Peter Jones. “The antagonist’s collectable diary entries tell a familiar misfit’s story, so I heavily encourage players to find those diary entries. She and I happened to have quite a bit in common in regards to the general and social struggles of schooling. Channeling that into the game’s music was rather therapeutic and actually helped me let go. This story set amid a horror survival shooter is DYA doing what they do best – creating a solid gaming experience. Truly a gifted and hard-working team, and it was a pleasure to synergize on this game.”

Evil Tonight follows Silvia, a modern exorcist who must overcome countless horrors with her ability to materialize the evil of haunted places. No map. No hand holding. Like classic survival action adventures of old, Evil Tonight features exploration in its purest form. Find items, discover hidden paths, solve puzzles, manage scarce ammunition, and fight against the evil that lurks in an abandoned Performing Arts School where no two rooms look alike… with an array of evil creatures and memorable boss battles, prepare to be challenged.

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep D&D Sourcebook Announced

Book News, Geek News, News

Building on the success of Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount, Wizards of the Coast and Critical Role are teaming up once again to bring another fantastic book to D&D fans with Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep. Inspired by the campaigns of the hit D&D live play series and designed in collaboration with DM Matthew Mercer, Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep is the first major adventure set in the world of Exandria and delivers a thrilling new campaign for the world’s greatest roleplaying game. Call of the Netherdeep will be available in stores everywhere on March 15, 2022 for $49.95 USD.

“My co-leads, Matthew Mercer and James Haeck, have crafted a story that feels true to Critical Role while also being something that all D&D fans can enjoy,” said Chris Perkins, one of the Game Design Architects of Dungeons & Dragons. “The story has depth, and there’s a wealth of setting information in this book for all the Critters out there. I can’t wait to see how all fans play through the first hardcover adventure D&D has produced set in the world of Critical Role.”

Beginning in the Wastes of Xhorhas, Call of the Netherdeep leads adventurers to the glimmering oasis-city of Ank’Harel on the continent of Marquet, and from there into a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep—a terrifying cross between the Far Realm and the deep ocean. Above it all, the red moon of Ruidus watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history. Fans will discover that the greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed, a mighty champion of the gods that has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria for eons, with his name and heroic deeds forgotten. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him.

“Getting to bring a direct adventure book within Exandria to life is really such an exciting thing, especially exploring ideas and elements I’ve never been able to bring to a campaign myself yet,” said Matthew Mercer. “Working with such a talented team to develop and craft a tale like this is an absolute honor, and I cannot wait for folks to step into the unique mysteries and dark challenges that Call of the Netherdeep invites.”

Call of the Netherdeep contains seven chapters of gripping adventure, new creatures and magic items, a poster map of Ank’Harel, and introduces new mechanics for a rival party of NPCs. The adventure takes players from levels 3-12 and is bursting with lore and all-new art depicting Exandria. Fans will be delighted that many elements of the storyline tie into the themes of previous Critical Role campaigns.
