Hello! I’d like to tell you a bit about Tower 57, a new Xbox One and Windows 10 co-op twin-stick shooter that supports Xbox Play Anywhere. Like many of you, we were raised on Amiga games; the ones that challenged your imagination and tested your gaming skills. ​Tower 57​ aims to capture those elements that made those games great, but also take them to another level. Think retro on the outside, but modern, well-crafted machinery on the inside. Not a blast from the past, but rather a modern take on a great formula. Now, imagine being lost in a steampunk-themed… Continue reading Tower 57 Coming to Xbox One and Windows 10 With XPA Support→

When we signed up to develop a sequel to the classic Hydro Thunder in 2009, we knew that none of the game engines… Continue reading Riptide GP: Renegade is Available Now on Xbox One and Windows 10→

I’d like to introduce you to Graveyard Keeper, the most inaccurate medieval cemetery management simulator you’ll play this year. In our game, you can build and manage your own graveyard, find ways to cut costs, expand into witch-burning festival entertainment, and scare villagers into attending church to name just a few of your ventures. You must do whatever it takes to build a thriving business in this capitalism economy; it just happens to be a graveyard. During your cemetery management, you’ll face many ethical dilemmas. Do you want to spend money on proper hotdog meat for the festival when you… Continue reading Announcing Graveyard Keeper, Lazy Bear Games Follow-up to Punch Club→
