Independent games publisher Versus Evil in partnership with award winning development studio Mad About Pandas today announced that the atmospheric first-person mystery game, Hitchhiker – A Mystery Game, is coming to Meta Quest VR via the Quest Store on March 10th.

In Hitchhiker, players find themselves on a mysterious journey along a dusty highway with no recollection of who they are or where they are going. Players piece together their memories by catching rides with strangers across the country who provide clues to your character’s past and solutions to various environmental puzzles.

“Bringing Hitchhiker into the VR gamespace made perfect sense from a narrative standpoint, particularly in the way we’ve been able to elevate the surreal road trip adventure with a player experience that feels like you’re actually inside the car.” Said Patrick Rau, Founder of Mad About Pandas.

Hitchhiker: A Mystery Game revolves around five distinct Hitch-hiked rides players take trying to recover lost memories through dialogue with an eclectic mix of drivers, each with their own quirky character traits.

Hitchhiker: A Mystery Game is the winner for Best Story at Game Connection and Gold Prize for Best Narrative at NYX.

Hitchhiker is also available on PC, PlayStation 4, XBox One, Nintendo Switch and mobile.

Virtual farming will soon get even more serious, as Farming Simulator 22 receives a variety of precision farming technologies – bundled in a free DLC. Initiated in 2020 by John Deere and funded by EIT Food, Europe’s leading Food Innovation Initiative, publisher and developer GIANTS Software will release the Precision Farming Free DLC for PC and consoles on April 19th. It introduces crop sensors, an environmental scoring system and other new gameplay-deepening features.

New Mechanics & Feature Improvements
Emphasizing the reduction of environmental impact in agriculture, the Precision Farming Free DLC will add crop sensors and variable seeding and drilling, variable weed control, as well as the variable rate application of organic fertilizer. The new environmental score helps players to increase the sustainability of farms and the yield of crops by choosing smart technology made available with the DLC.

This comes in addition to the features of the initial version released for Farming Simulator 19 which laid the foundation by introducing soil types, soil sampling, variable rate fertilization and economic analysis. Existing features will return and be improved on: For example, players will get the chance to acquire soil maps by a service provider in exchange for a fee, saving time on taking soil samples themselves.

EU-funded Project to Spread Awareness
Downloaded more than one million times, the first version of the Precision Farming DLC for Farming Simulator 19 proved a great success. The EIT Food funded project aims to provide knowledge regarding sustainable farming technology. Implementing Precision Farming in the global video game phenomenon Farming Simulator is one of EITs multiple steps to increase awareness.

“We’re proud to be an active part of this important project”, says Thomas Frey, Creative Director at GIANTS Software. “With Farming Simulator 22 marking the most extensive agricultural simulation to date and being sold more than three million times since launch, we aim not only to effectively promote the sustainable technology behind precision farming, but also deliver more depth of gameplay to our engaged and dedicated fan base.

Various other partners from the European Union are part of the project: The University of Hohenheim (Germany), the University of Reading (Great Britain), Grupo AN (the largest cereal cooperative in Spain) and the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research from the Polish Academy of Sciences cooperate to promote the technology.

Farming Simulator 22 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Stadia.

Publishers 505 Games, alongside developers and partners One More Level, All In! Games, 3D Realms, and Slipgate Ironworks™, today launch Project_Hel, a prequel DLC for the million-selling first-person cyberpunk action game Ghostrunner. Return to the dystopian Dharma Tower as a brutally powerful antihero in a new campaign for $14.99/€14.99/£12.49 across console and PC platforms globally. Stay tuned to Ghostrunner’s official Twitter channel for updates on the Nintendo Switch version’s upcoming release.

Just prior to the events of the original Ghostrunner storyline, a combat android known as Hel begins her own violent mission: quelling a rebellion at the base of the tower-city. Yet Hel’s true motivation takes root in hatred toward the creators keeping her chained between assignments. Internal programming keeps her from slaughtering them outright, so she begrudgingly follows orders while looking for loopholes to disrupt her creators’ grand plans.

Unlike regular Ghostrunners, Hel contains no biological parts, instead driven by a cobbled-together AI rendering her unstable, impulsive, and angry. These traits manifest in Project_Hel’s new Rage bar. Fill it up by killing enemies to gain abilities injecting fresh blood into Ghostrunner’s one-hit-one-kill combat. Reject death with the attack-negating Shield, bypass enemy defenses with Unblockable strikes, and strike from afar with devastating energy Surges.

Instead of using a Gap Jammer grappling hook like original protagonist Jack, Hel’s powerful Super Jump provides aggressive movement capabilities both for traversal and combat. She can also air dash significantly further and use a Sensory Boost to quickly visualize their trajectory. These differences give Hel her own feel and style appealing to Ghostrunner veterans and newcomers alike. Upgrade her capabilities even further with a revamped progression system.

Face off against new challengers, including four enemy types and two bosses. Carve through the seven imaginative levels while mastering Hel’s intricacies and rebelling against her creators. Ascend the neon cityscapes to the tune of additional tracks from electronic artist Daniel Deluxe. Uncover more context in this action-packed prequel story by gathering hidden collectibles. Learn how Hel rises to become one of the toughest bosses in the original Ghostrunner plot.

Project_Hel is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG. The Nintendo Switch version will launch in the near future.

The Ghostrunner base game is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Amazon Luna, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG. Throughout March, Ghostrunner on PlayStation 5 will be free for PlayStation Plus members.

Ghostrunner is published by H2 Interactive for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation in Asia, release date of PS4 and PS5 in Asia is March 4th, while that of Nintendo Switch to be communicated by H2.
