Set between “Raiders of the Lost Ark™” and “The Last Crusade™”, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is a first-person, single-player adventure that will take you all over the world, uncovering clues and solving an ancient mystery. Become the adventurer in a race against sinister forces. Your journeys will take you from the hallowed halls of the Vatican and the arid deserts of Egypt to the lush and sunken temples of Sukhothai and the frigid peaks of the Himalayas.

“Our game is about putting you in the shoes of an iconic hero,” says Design Director Jens Andersson. “Since we are doing this mostly in first-person, you have the chance to truly become Indy. First-person makes you part of this world – allowing you to explore and experience things more intimately. What will you do when you’re dropped into this adventure with your wits and your whip? The world of Indiana Jones is a world with mysteries around every corner, where you’re racing against the clock and outsmarting your enemies as you hunt down artifacts.”

Explore the Living Lands, a mysterious island filled with adventure and danger in this first deep dive into the gameplay experience you can expect in Avowed, our upcoming fantasy action RPG set in the fantastical, vibrant Living Lands.

Learn more about how we incorporate world-building with profound themes, dynamic gameplay, and thoughtful reactivity and bring them to life in Avowed, where you can make choices to shape every step of your adventure.

Hello, Dom Matthews here, Studio Head at Ninja Theory. As I write this, we are now in the final few months of development on Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, preparing for our launch Day One on Xbox Game Pass and across Xbox Series X|S, Windows and Steam on May 21. It was a pleasure to give you all a deeper insight into Senua’s next journey, our studio and our talented team in Developer Direct.

Since the release of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice , Ninja Theory has transitioned from being an independent team to one that sits within Xbox Game Studios. Although this has seen change for Ninja Theory, particularly in terms of the support now available to us for striving towards our ambitions, what has not changed is our passion and commitment to our studio mission - to craft life-changing art with game changing tech.

In Armor Attack, the future of society lies in the hands of three opposing factions who are fighting to gain control over what’s left on Earth after decades of war and social upheaval. Players will participate in all-out mech vehicle warfare, customizing and taking control of battle technologies including robots, tanks, wheeled machines and more to gain victory over their opponents. Thrilling and unforeseen experiences will ensue through exciting interactive environments, various unique ability-centered vehicle types and enhanced cinematic experiences that will keep players at the edge of their seats.

LOVE is a reductive precision platformer with a minimalist pixel aesthetic and a focus on challenging the player fairly. Set your own checkpoints at any time to make your way across 16 difficult levels while enjoying a 12-track original soundtrack by James Bennett.

The game includes a standard Arcade mode for players who want a little challenge, Unlimited Mode for players who just want to have a good time, a dedicated Speedrun mode for players who want to prove they're the fastest, and YOLO mode for players who have something to prove.

Another sunrise, another day of toil. Food must be grown, industries built, science and magic advanced, and wealth collected. Urgency drives these simple efforts, however, for your planet holds a history of unexplained apocalypse, and the winter you just survived was the worst on record. A fact that has also been true for the previous five.

As you discover the lost secrets of your world and the mysteries of the legends and ruins that exist as much in reality as in rumor, you will come to see that you are not alone. Other peoples also struggle to survive, to grow, and perhaps even to conquer.

Apple bases this indemnification claim on Epic's breach of the developer agreement (DPLA) when Fortnite suddenly offered an in-app payment alternative.

Early into the litigation, Epic accepted that if it loses on its antitrust claims (as it did), it owes damages.

If Epic had prevailed on antitrust, the contract clause wouldn't have been enforceable.

Apple does this as a matter of principle. They won't leave an amount in the tens of millions on the table. And their overall treatment of Epic, such as not putting Fortnite back, is meant to discourage other app makers from challenging Apple and from breaching the DPLA.

In this brand-new adventure, players will embody Sargon, a young, gifted warrior, member of an elite group called The Immortals. As they are sent to rescue Prince Ghassan, they will explore Mount Qaf, a once wondrous place, now cursed and hostile. Sargon and his brothers-in-arms will soon discover that time itself will be a treacherous foe and that the world balance must be restored.

Inspired by the Metroidvania structure, Prince of Persia™: The Lost Crown lets players explore a handcrafted world at their own pace. From the majestic Citadel of Knowledge to the colorful landscapes of the Hyrcanian Forest, players will discover a variety of environments inspired by Persian mythology. By acquiring new time powers, unlocking unique abilities, equipping different amulets and combining them, Sargon will progressively delve deeper into Mount Qaf, solving puzzles, finding secrets, and completing exciting side quests. Sargon will also learn to master the different Time Powers to defeat unique & mythological creatures that will stand in his way.

In order to turn your feedback into action, we’ve put together a strike team of veteran developers from the design, community, communication and production teams with the focus on bringing PAYDAY 3 up to where it will meet your expectations.

This team is currently creating a plan, deciding what will shape the game into the heisting experience you expect from a PAYDAY sequel in both the short & long term.

We want to be careful to not simply react, and deal with any possible improvements one by one with the care, thought and planning they deserve. In February, we will communicate a plan detailing the upcoming improvements and when you can expect to see them in the game.

On the company’s Great Place To Work profile, the studio describes its plan to create ‘a small team of only 100 industry veterans and emerging talents, who are committed to crafting cutting-edge gaming experiences that inspire and captivate players worldwide’, although there’s no word yet on what those experiences will look like.

Hundred Star Games is also listed on the Companies House website, where it is categorised as working in the ‘publishing of computer games’, as well as creating ‘ready-made interactive leisure and entertainment software development’ and taking part in ‘other information technology service activities’, meaning that the studio may also intend to self-publish its first title, or may provide some publishing and support services for smaller developers as well.

Evading taxes was last year’s crop, so Turnip Boy is sprouting a lucrative new criminal leaf! But robbing banks isn’t easy, and the Botanical Bank’s vaults are no joke. Join forces with the menacing Pickle Gang for this big-dill heist of epic proportions. With high-action shootouts against security guards and elite swat teams – your artichoke heart might just skip a beet!

Key Features

• A thrilling, single-player adventure full of bank robbing, dark web browsing, and fuzz fighting!
• Roguelite elements to turnip the action with a big ol’ bank to explore and loot.
• Use an array of zany weapons in intense shootouts against whoever the bank throws at you, from security guards to elite veggie swat teams!
• A large cast of quirky food-based characters, including some familiar faces, plus new citizens with their own stories and problems.
• Earn collectible hats to wear and cassettes with new banger tracks to blast.
• Discover the deeper history of Turnip Boy’s world and peel back the layers of how it became what it is.

The challenging situation of the trapped family intensifies over time. The cabin where they were supposed to stay burned down with all their equipment, and the car was destroyed. They are forced to create makeshift shelter, search for food, and face an uneven battle with the unpredictable forces of nature. However, it quickly becomes apparent that the nearby mountain emits unusual electromagnetic waves that strongly resonate with water molecules and living creatures, causing not only local weather anomalies, but also changes in the behavior of both humans and animals.

The main features of HARM, including the need for improvisation in extreme conditions and detailed graphics, will grab the attention of survival enthusiasts. All of these elements amplify the feelings of fear, exhaustion, and loneliness that constantly accompany the main character during the fight with the forces of nature. Players must attend not only to their health and stamina, but also consistently monitor hunger, hydration, body temperature, and fatigue resulting from the lack of sleep.

Players can trade in those swords and spells for one of the many unique vehicles they’ll commandeer through a post-apocalyptic world overrun by menacing mutant hordes. With a more destructive, confrontational style of gameplay, players can plow their post-apocalyptic death machines through encroaching enemies for maximum carnage.

Designed for short bursts of heart-pounding, high-octane action, each run will help enhance the next as players continue to unlock a gnarly arsenal of modifications for their vehicles, allowing them to channel their inner Road Warrior as they tear through the wasteland, hunting down powerful mutant bosses, and experimenting with badass custom builds.

UPDATE: A Remedy rep tells me: "There is nothing to see here – this was a discussion between our teams that was resolved entirely and amicably late last year."

"The legal filing was simply an initial formality, and Remedy and Take-Two continue to work together in partnership."
