South of Midnight

South of Midnight is a new action-adventure game from the creators of We Happy Few.

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days

It’s 1980 in Texas, and the state has fallen to a zombie outbreak, leaving a small group of survivors to find a haven in a relentlessly savage new world. Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a side-scrolling survival game in which players attempt to find a haven for their group, scavenging for supplies, establishing shelters, upgrading bases, crafting weapons, and deciding who dies and who lives to begin anew the next day.

Commandos: Origins

ALARM! Commandos is back! The iconic real-time tactics series returns with Commandos: Origins, an all-new title exploring the origins of the elite unit created during WWII. Take on the Nazi threat across invaded Europe, taking on missions no one else dares to accept. Play as The Green Beret, Sapper, Driver, Marine, and Sniper, tackling missions however you choose, with multiple paths to victory available, utilizing the environment, and deciding when to sneak, climb, and drive during carefully executed plans. Enter the war alone or play with a friend in two-player co-op mode.

Hollywood Animal

Take control of a movie studio in Hollywood Animal, guiding it from the dawn of sound cinema to the modern day, building an unstoppable billion-dollar business that engages your audiences through the decades. Invest in technology, persuade the next generation of stars to sign long-term contracts, and make choices that will affect your bottom line as you attempt to revolutionize the industry. Will you build it with money, persuasion, or violence? Break box office records or skulls. It’s your business, your industry, and your choice.
