Another week, another series of exciting news about independent games. While the launch of the next generation of consoles is profounded in the industry, the independent developers have indicated to the players what they would bring to the table in the middle of a storm of AAA versions. Some developers have also ensured that those who do not yet update are not forgotten. Let's take a look!
The developer behind Thomas Was Alone had a busy week after the launch of his last title of Short, The Solitaire Conspiracy last Saturday. It was a great success for the independent team because it is sold more copies in its first 9 hours than any previous game that the studio has released the launch and overall quite well evaluated (it currently has a 76 on Metacritic). It's currently available on Steam and Epic Games Store - but wait, there's more! Bitrell Games revealed this week that not one, but two of their previous tracks would arrive on consoles later this year. First of all, John Wick Hex will arrive at Xbox, Nintendo Switch and Steam (which I know is not a console, but the game was previously only on Epic Games Store for PC) on December 4th. He will even get his own box version for his console version, including for PS4, where he landed shortly after his EGS exit last year. The new box art is also very elegant, and I would like a poster with my physical copy, please. The game currently costs $ 22.79 CAD / US $ 19.99 on Epic Games Store, and it seems that the retail price can reflect this (although according to Gamestop, the Switch version is retail to $ 29.99 , we will know!)
Second, the title in the above-mentioned escape from Studio, Thomas Was Alone will arrive on Switch in the first quarter of next year. It does not seem that it will receive a physical version, but at least it will join the endless list of the requested and completed switch ports. Hoping that this is auspicious for a conspiracy solitaire portage on consoles in the future!
Supergiant's Hades has been one of the biggest success of the year, and as a skeptical person at the beginning (I do not like Roguelikes), sleeping on this game is a big mistake. A preferred moment I lived in my time with it was to hit Eurydice by passing by Asphodel, where you will find it singing a soothing song - a striking contrast with the epic combat metal that perfectly hammes my ears for the previous one. time. It's a good time of lightness in the chaos and the song she sings is, as children call him, a Banger. The composer of Hades, Darren Korb, published this week a video showing the fans how to play the song, with partitions and tablatures. It also explains that for the version used in the game, he used a Turkish instrument called Bağlama, instead of the acoustic guitar for which the tutorial is here. I must insist, if you did not play the game, do not look yet the video - hear the song in the context of the game is a very good time and I would not want it to spoil you.
In addition, the team recently presented a breakdown of each of the visual effects of the game for environments and weapon improvements. on Twitter. One of the designers of the game also explained how each of the pieces of the game is designed, and it is a particularly interesting approach for the design of levels in a genre where a large part of the novelty depends on it constantly evolving. In addition to this, the HADES team also published a test branch on Epic Games Store and Steam for the players to have a glimpse of the next update of the game, which would include changes in balance, a new decorative theme. , new vocal lines, corrects, and more. The team also mentioned on Twitter that the prison crossings promised for Switch should be available later this month, which I will surely use as an excuse to buy the game again.
Speaking of games that I can not erase from my chronology, the developer of Bugsnax Young Horses has published a ton of new information about the game this week, including the confirmation of his exit aligned with the launch of the PS5 as he 'has already done. become gold. He should go out the same day of the release of the PS5 on November 12, when he will also launch the PS4 and PC via Epic Games Store. The vocal distribution of the game has also been revealed and includes quite recognizable names, including Yuri Lowenthal of Spider-Man, Debra Wilson of Jedi: Fallen Order, Sonic The Hedgehog himself Roger Craig Smith and the guy from the industry who is In everything, Fred Tatascore. The game will cost $ 29.99 CAD / US $ 24.99 when leaving, and currently has a 15% discount on Epic Games Store if you want to pre-order.
In the current benefits of Lab Zero Games reports on a bad work culture and the dissolution of the studio, the additional content for their last indivisible version has been canceled. This is particularly unfortunate for the game contributors on Indiegogo, because several characters created by contributors and other independent games were about to be included. As our own Clayton Cyre reported it, the 505 Games publisher released a statement regarding the decision, including the confirmation of an update for the Switch version of the game along the way. A planned North American physical output was also canceled, but the fans who bought this version of the game are eligible for a refund. 505 promised to always release the last physical reward of the campaign, which is a figurine of the main character of the game Ajna. The publisher indicates that the numbers soon come into production and that contributors will receive information about their availability in the coming weeks. There was no mention of the indivisible television program that had been announced earlier this year. It's a shame that things end so for people who worked hard on the game (and surely all these unpublished content scrafts sitting on a hard drive somewhere), but also for all the fans who were looking forward to more 'A game they love. At least, the game had a full version and is currently available on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. You can consult our opinion here.
