Greetings fellow necromancers and necromancer candidates! I’m Sampo Töyssy from 10tons, and I’m thrilled to announce that Undead Horde 2 launches today on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One! We’re excited to bring our necromantic RPG-hack’n’slash-RTS hybrid to Xbox. In Undead Horde2: Necropolis you become a powerful necromancer with the ability to raise the dead and command them in battle. With each victory, your army will grow stronger, and your city will become more powerful. In essence Undead Horde 2 is an action game with elements from RPG, strategy and hack’n’slash. The creation of Undead Horde 2 was an interesting journey for us: It’s a sequel but on the other hand we were able to improve and even change many things. The player feedback so far has been very positive, and most players think the sequel is better than the first game in many ways which has been very nice to hear. We’ve tried staying true to the spirit of the original game, while simultaneously expanding its universe...

The days of Xbox Live Arcade, Microsoft’s revolutionary approach to digital distribution marked an important time in Techland’s history thanks to the digital-only debut of our Western first-person shooter, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger . Today, we’re going to honor our game’s 10th Anniversary by taking a look back at what made it so memorable and share details about a special crossover event in Dying Light 2 Stay Human . The Legacy of Gunslinger Released on May 22, 2013, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger was touted by fans and critics as the best in the series, thanks to its unique arcade-inspired gameplay, comic book visuals, impulsive humor, and historical inspirations. The story opens with the renowned Silas Greaves entering the Bull’s Head Saloon in Abilene, Kansas. The bar patrons quickly recognize the bounty hunter protagonist and urge him to recollect the glory days of his prime. After this moment, the player gets to reenact the main character’s past in the form of a playable retellin...

After collecting feedback from The Sims 4 players, we have made some big changes to the Xbox version of the game. By popular demand, we’ve reversed some previous changes to Build Mode and made other improvements. Most of these improvements are related to controller buttons – to create a more seamless play experience, we’ve tried to make the functions of buttons more consistent across different game modes. Here’s what’s new: Bumper Button Functionality It used to be that the bumper buttons would have different functions depending on what mode you were in. In CAS (Create a Sim), the buttons switched between Sims, while in Live Mode, they would adjust how quickly time passed. Now, the bumper buttons will switch between Sims in both CAS and Live Mode. Game speed in Live mode can be adjusted with the triggers. Build Catalog Changes The Build Catalog will now minimize when you select an object to place. This will let you see more of your current build while you decide where to place t...

Hi everyone, I’m Cédric Babouche, the art director behind Dordogne , a heartfelt narrative adventure in watercolors! French studio Un Je Ne Sais Quoi, part of animation group Umanimation, have been working on this indie creation for the past few years, and it will finally be released June 13! You’ll play as Mimi, a 32-year-old in search of her childhood memories back where she used to spend her summers as a child. And that place is the bucolic region of Dordogne, in the southwest of France. The Dordogne River When we started the project, our starting point was to create a family story. The southwest region, where I spent many a Summer holiday as a child, came up a lot in our initial drafts and sketches so it emerged as a natural choice for the setting of our story. This link to my roots allows us to tell a truly heartfelt story in a way that perfectly matches the family theme. The Sorcerer’s Cave As the rest of the team did not share that history and familiarity with the regi...
