Solasta: Crown of the Magister has launched into 1.0! Solasta is a team-based tactical role-playing game where each character plays a critical role in the campaign and can be a hero. The dynamic and mysterious world features elements of verticality, allowing players to use their surroundings as an element of strategy. Players can position ranged characters on high vantage points or send their rogue down into shafts and caverns to scope out what lies ahead. In Solasta, light is a tool to explore the depths and hallows of dungeons or can be used as a weapon against the creatures of the dark, but if players are not careful, it will give away the party’s position to nasty creatures bent on their demise.
In addition to 1.0 launch, the Solasta: Crown of the Magister soundtrack is now available to purchase as a digital download. Produced and distributed by G4F Records, the soundtrack features 23 tracks, all composed by Maxime Hervé (“Beyond the Aquila Rift.” Love Death & Robots, Netflix 2019). Enjoy a listen at the title track World of Light music video HERE: https://youtu.be/9ltV2U6Sa9M.

What’s better than Oddworld Inhabitants’ critically acclaimed Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee, and Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath? All three of them in a beautifully designed single package. Oddworld: Collection for Nintendo Switch is now available at your local video game retailer.
Created by Oddworld Inhabitants, and co-published by Microids, Oddworld Collection lets Switch players experience the oddest variety of classic action-adventure games ever created. Whether you are at home or on-the-go, the Oddworld Collection offers you three distinct adventures to enjoy.
The Collection includes New ‘n’ Tasty, an action-adventure platformer that challenges you to escape from RuptureFarms, a meat processing plant with plans to turn you into their next tasty meat product. Run for your life or use stealth to safely escape and save others. How you survive is up to you.
In Munch’s Oddysee you must “switch” between the strangest video game duo ever to avoid extinction at the hands of evil scientists using animals as product testing guinea pigs, or in this case, guinea Gabbits.
Rounding out the collection is Stranger’s Wrath, which offers you a brilliant mix of third-person exploration and first-person shooter gameplay. You play as Stranger, a bounty hunter with secret to uncover who must earn enough Moola to afford an overly expensive lifesaving procedure.
Known for their infectious gameplay, humor, and exciting storylines, Oddworld games also spotlight ironies that address the greater challenges facing our own human condition.
Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath
Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath features a unique hybrid viewpoint where the player can switch between first and third person at will, depending on the situation. First person for combat situations, third person for world traversal. You take on the role of Stranger, a mysterious hunter chasing dangerous bounties, using a combination of shooting, platforming, and puzzles to capture your quarry, dead or alive, as well as solve the game’s greater mysteries. Full of Easter eggs and quirky characters, Stanger’s Wrath will reward those with an adventurous spirit.
Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee
In Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee, you “switch” between the characters of Abe and Munch as you try to bust out of an evil animal test lab, reclaim the last Gabbit eggs on Oddworld, which have been packaged in a can of Gabbiar. You must strategically deploy multiple abilities and psychic powers as you try to exact vengeance on the Vykkers while trying to save fellow test creatures and help them battle back from possible extinction.
Oddworld: New and Tasty
Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is a ground-up remake of the mind-blowing puzzle-platforming adventure Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee. While New ‘n’ Tasty is a remake of a beloved classic, it uses none of the original assets. It has a gorgeous HD aesthetic that caters to the modern gamer’s sensibilities. Play as Abe, a hapless, clumsy cog in the corporate machine. You stumble upon a ghastly plan to convert your kind into delicious meaty snacks. Your escape will not be easy, and once free from immediate danger, you will discover the beginnings of a greater purpose and try to save your species from slavery.

Tear through eldritch terrors unleashed by heretical sects and demented sinners as a disgraced Priest of the Orthagonal Order. Unjustly exiled for attacking a fellow brother upon witnessing an evil act, the Priest now follows a mission ordained by The Creator: root out the evils corrupting not just the Order, but creation itself.
Steam Early Access begins the journey with the first of three planned regions: Cruxfirth, a rotting swamptown suffering from a plague that ends either in death or violent madness. Inspired by classic shooters, immersive sims, and action RPGs, GRAVEN encourages exploration and creativity with multiple ways to take on puzzles and combat alike.
Arrive by boat with a single coin, a strange staff, and a journal, still wounded by the order’s punishment. Slay an expansive bestiary with more than 30 distinct enemies including winged abominations and horrid swamp beasts. Wield the spellbook to unleash transformative magic like lightning and melting heat, each capable of affecting the environment to solve puzzles and uncover hidden areas.
Tap into righteous fury with conventional weaponry like wrist-mounted crossbows, flails, and the peat launcher, a crude but effective explosive. Discover and purchase more than 20 planned weapons, spells, and new staff crystals that grant new abilities at full launch.
Early Access includes new quests in Cruxfirth, and multiple updates throughout the year will add additional areas, quests, enemies, and hidden secrets. Further down the line, the Priest shall no longer roam alone: GRAVEN will add split-screen co-op and online play for up to four players.
“For 3D Realms, Early Access has been instrumental in making sure we make the best possible games for fans of classic titles like Hexen,” said Frederik Schreiber, vice president of 3D Realms and Game Director on Graven. “The reception to GRAVEN’s demo at Steam Game Festival floored us, and now Early Access will bring even more depth to Cruxfirth.”
GRAVEN will be available in Early Access today at 10 AM PT / 7PM CEST via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store and other digital platforms for 24.99 USD /20.99 EUR / 19.99 GBP with a 10% launch discount during the first week. The game will launch fully on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in 2022.
