A new set of screenshots from THQ Nordic and Experiment 101’s “post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable RPG” Biomutant have surfaced online courtesy of PC Gamer.

Here’s an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Biomutant is an open-world, post-apocalyptic kung-fu fable RPG, with a unique martial arts styled combat system allowing you to mix melee, shooting and mutant ability action.

Key Features

A New Take on Third-Person Combat – The martial arts style combat system allows you maximum freedom of movement and agility while mixing shooting, melee and powers from your mutations. Learning new Wushu combat forms through progression and learning from masters you’ll meet, will constantly add to your choices and make sure combat never gets old.

Evolve Your Gameplay – You’ll be able to re-code your genetic structure to change the way you look and play. This will of course affect your attributes and in addition to this, exposure to bio-contamination in the world will lead to physical mutations like mantis-claws and barbed tails, while exposure to radioactivity found in bunkers from the old world will affect your mind and unlock psi-mutations like telekinesis, levitation and more.

Next Level of Crafting – You are totally free when crafting weapons. Mix and match parts to create your own unique 1H or 2H slash, crush and pierce melee weapons. Revolvers, rifles and shotguns and add modifications like cork-screws and battery-powered chainsaw modules to bio-contaminated sludge vials adding to your combat arsenal. There are even characters you’ll meet that’ll craft cool stuff for you, like bionic wings, a jump-pack and even let you modify your Automaton – the scrap-toy sidekick!

Gear Up for Adventure – You are totally free when equipping your character. Not only when it comes to choosing weapons you created, but what type of gear you wear. Equip a gas-mask and an oxygen tank for exploring the Dead Zones, thermos-resistant clothes for venturing into cryonic areas or protective gear for taking on bio-contaminated creatures, the choice is up to you.

Survive in a Vibrant Open World – You are free to explore the world and what lies beneath its surface, by foot, mech, jet-ski, air-balloon or area unique mounts. Explore the dying wildland, the tunnels and bunker networks of the underworld, and find your way up the mountains or out in the archipelago. There are lots of discoveries to be made, mysteries to unravel, creatures to confront and weird characters to meet in this vibrant and colorful world.

An Unusual Story with an Unusual End – Your actions play a major part in the unfolding of a story where End is coming to the New World. A plague is ruining the land and the Tree-of-Life is bleeding death from its roots. The Tribes stand divided, in need of someone strong enough to unite them or bring them all down… You are guided through the world by a Storyteller that narrates every step of your journey, but it’s your actions and choices that’ll decide how your story of survival ends.

Biomutant is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in early 2018.

THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games survival game Fade to Silence launches via Steam Early Access on December 14

The new title announcement from THQ Nordic first teased yesterday is Fade to Silence, a survival game developed by Giana Sisters studio Black Forest Games launching for PC via Steam Early Access on December 14. The announcement, which was planned for tonight’s The Game Awards 2017, leaked early via the its Steam page.

Here’s the full overview of the game:

■ Early Access FAQ

Why Early Access?

“We believe nothing is a more personal game-experience than a survival game. Our goal is to develop something that drags you deep into the cold and deadly world of an apocalyptic winter. Therefore, for us this game will only be perfect if we can get feedback from the community. Early Access is designed for that.

Communication between you as the player and us the developer is key. With your help we can create an outstanding game. A game that you helped to shape.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan in place aims for 8 months of Early Access and a final release in August 2018.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We are planning to regularly update the game content throughout Early Access, as well as features we believe will make the game even more enjoyable and richer.

In order to achieve this, and to get as much as we can from the Early Access participation, we will be hard at work listening to YOU, sifting through the feedback (and being awesomely surprised at your creativity to inspire us) and implementing these throughout this phase.

The full version will feature a larger game world with more areas to explore, more followers, conscious choices, and an unique story driving the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At this stage of development we are going out with all the base game features in place:

• Construct, upgrade and defend your refuge
  
• Rescue and recruit followers
  
• Coordinate your followers for resource management
  
• Combat a variety of eldritch monstrosities
  
• Go out on expeditions with your followers on your wolf sled
  
• Explore the initial release of the game world, roughly 10 km2 area, under dynamic snowfall and time of day
  
• All the while trying to survive the deadly blizzards in this post-apocalyptic world.
  

We are also introducing the first beats of the story: What is the haunting voice that keeps pestering, misleading, mocking us? Where does the corruption come from, and why?

Can we even do anything about it?”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The Early Access version’s price is below the final release price. We want to recognize that you help us developing this game to its full glory and trusting us at an early stage.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are planning to make use of the Steam forums. Further communication channels will be on BFG’s and the game’s social channels. Furthermore, we’ll do regular live-shows from our studio where everyone can chat with developers or ask questions. Monthly Vlogs, regular broadcasts and surveys about specific topics are also part of our communication strategy.”

■ Game Description

About

As the player you take the role of Ash, a natural but tormented leader. In that role you explore a post-apocalyptic, frozen wasteland to gather the resources necessary to establish a refuge for survival. With dwindling resources, simple tasks like upgrading equipment and collecting materials quickly require an expedition to scavenge the necessary items. In the search for survival materials, players must navigate a vast territory, in which they will encounter Eldritch monsters and an even greater foe: the unrelenting winter. While freezing temperatures constantly take their toll on the player Ash, the deadliest event is that of a blizzard. If caught by surprise, it takes every ounce of skill, determination and luck to survive.

In order to survive and overcome all challenges, the player needs to attract followers, bringing them into thei refuge. Each individual skillset and character traits grants access to higher tier resources and gear. Without such advances, the player character can scavenge only the barest necessities, crafting makeshift tools and weapons.

“You’re glad to have found wood; for once, you’ll have a roaring fire in the camp. As your sled wolves race home, you pay no attention to the strange lights in the forest. You’ve done enough for today. The wind suddenly picks up – a blizzard is moving in fast. The voice in your head dares you to keep going,”Come on! You have plenty of time to make it back.” You doubt it, but stopping now means you need to build a shelter—out of that precious wood. The snow begins to fall; you have only a moment to decide. Should you risk it and keep going, or do you play it safe but lose your firewood?”

Fade to Silence introduces the many dynamics of a harsh winter climate to a complex, character-driven, group survival experience. The dynamic weather system adds to the immersion of survival in a cold, corrupted world. Survival depends on how well the players read weather patterns, and if they come to the right conclusion – look for shelter or press home. The dynamic snow displacement leaves a realistic path by both player character and NPC. This telltale sign will tell you regions where it is good to hunt and regions where monsters are roaming.

“You’re out hunting. The barren, snow-filled landscape is endless and unrelenting. A Ripper comes out of nowhere, and you fight it off, narrowly dodging its gigantic claws. Then you see it: a distant fire. Another person? Impossible. But there’s a strange noise—a voice? Wild hope sears your heart; you won’t be alone anymore. The voice in your head steps in, discouraging you from investigating. “Anyone living must have done terrible things to survive”, it says. You quiet the voice, defying it this time, and move in closer. Another person could help you rebuild, gather food, harvest deer. You see someone—yes! Someone else is out here. Then, you hear a scream. But you hesitate. How can you trust them? Another scream, desperate. There’s only one way to find out.”

Key Features

• Explore a vast winter landscape: The launch version lets you explore a river delta, a dense forest region and cultivated farmland of an 8km2 area.
  
• Wolf Sled Expeditions: Pack your sled, take a follower with you and engage in long term expeditions into the farthest regions.
  
• Fight System: Tiered weapon system, melee and ranged combat.
  
• Moral choices: Save and recruit various NPCs to join your group. Harsh choices have to be made; who do you take, who do you leave behind.
  
• Battle increasingly dangerous Eldritch creatures that roam an apocalyptic world.
  
• Trust your inner voice. It is your friend.

THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games Announce Survival Game Fade to Silence
THQ 新作《归于沉寂》正式公布
转载 - 游明星空（http://www.gamersky.com/news/201712/988285.shtml）

　　THQ Nordic 今日在年度游戏奖项「游戏大奖（The Game Awards）」颁奖典礼上，公布了新作《归于沉寂》的预告片。

　　THQ早先暗示会推出一款“无尽寒冬”主题的新作，目前Steam已经上线了这款游戏，名为《归于沉寂》，2017年12月14就会开启抢先体验，游戏支持简体中文。

　　玩家将要操控角色“艾什”——一名天生的领导者，但饱受生存环境的严酷折磨。在游戏中，玩家要操控角色探索后启示录世界中的冰封废土，搜寻并收集建立庇护所的必需资源。随着资源的逐渐耗尽，玩家很快就不得不前往远方来搜集必要的物品，然后才能完成升级装备或收集材料之类的简单任务。在寻找资源的过程中，玩家必须穿过一片广阔的领域。期间，他们可能会碰到可怕的怪兽，或是更恐怖的敌人：严冬。低温严寒无时无刻不在折磨着艾什，但最为致命的情况当属暴风雪来袭。如果在毫无准备的情况下遭遇暴风雪，玩家必须竭尽全力、绞尽脑汁再撞上些好运气，才能最终生还。

　　为了克服这重重困难并成功存活到最后，玩家需要吸引追随者们，带他们一起建立庇护所。每个人的技能和角色天赋都让玩家能够获得更高等级的资源和装备。反之，玩家操控的角色就只能获得最简单的材料，造出粗制滥造的工具和武器。

　　“恭喜你找到木头；你的营地将升起熊熊营火（仅此一次）。当你乘坐狼拉雪橇回营地时，你没有注意到森林中奇异的光线。你今天干得活儿够多了。

　　突然间，周围刮起了大风——暴风雪将至。脑中有一个声音不断催促你前进：‘快走！你有足够的时间回去。’你有些怀疑，但在此停下就意味着你需要用珍贵的木料在此处建立一个庇护所。雪已经开始下了，留给你做出选择的时间不多了。你是冒险前进，还是谨慎行事、放弃寻找柴火？”

　　《归于沉寂》引进了动态的严冬天气系统，为玩家带来复杂多变、角色推动的集体生存体验。动态天气系统让这个寒冷而堕落的世界能给人带来更加沉浸式的生存体验。角色能否成功存活取决于玩家能否正确解读天气转变模式，以及是否能做出正确的决策——寻找庇护所或坚持前进。而动态雪花贴图也能让玩家或NPC在世界中留下真实的脚印。而这些脚印会成为你判断的线索——此处适合狩猎或此处有猛兽出没。

　　“你外出狩猎。这片荒芜的雪景茫茫无边无际。一只撕裂者突然出现。你与它战成一团，它巨大的兽爪从你身旁呼啸而过。

　　随后，你发现：远处有火光。有其他人？不可能。但那边发出了奇怪的声音——有人在说话？一股狂喜涌上心头；你不会再是一个人了！但脑中的声音再次响起，阻止你前去查看。它说：‘能够活下来的人一定使用了卑鄙手段’。但这次，你没有听它的话。你挥散了脑中的声音，靠近查看。如果有另一个人类，他能够帮助你重建家园、收集食物、狩猎鹿群。你看到了一个人——是的！真的有人！你听到了一声尖叫。但你犹豫了起来。你该不该信任他？又一声绝望的尖叫响起。只有一种方法能帮你获得最终的答案。”

特色：

探索广阔的冰雪世界：在本次发布的游戏中，你可以探索总计8平方公里的广阔区域，其中有三角洲、茂密林区和农田。

狼拉雪橇探险：装配好雪橇，带上追随者们，踏上前往遥远地区的征途。

战斗系统：等级制武器系统、近距离及远程作战。

道德选择：拯救各种NPC，并将其招募进自己的队伍。但有时你必须做出冷酷的选择：你该接纳谁，又该抛弃谁？。

与灾后大陆上的可怕生物决一死战——它们会随着冒险而变得愈发危险

相信你内心的声音——它是你的伙伴

About Rad Rodgers

Rad is a rambunctious but spirited young boy who maybe plays too many video games. After dozing off at the tail end of a long night of gaming, Rad awakens to find his dusty old console has turned itself back on. Suddenly a vortex emerges and he's [粗俗词语过滤-#0003]ed into his TV, where he finds himself the star in his very own video game adventure.

Dusty is Rad's good-hearted but foul-mouthed, now-sentient game console. His clock speed isn't what it used to be, but what he lacks for in megahertz he makes up for with experience and attitude!

Rad & Dusty's adventure begins in the First World, taking them through seven dangerous stages of action-packed, humor-filled, hardcore platforming fun. This decaying jungle world has been infected by a fierce corruption, and it's up to the unlikely buddy-duo Rad and Dusty to save the jungle's inhabitants and restore the Elder Tree as guardian of the land.

Key Features

• Weapons: Dusty arms Rad with a variety of radical bad-ass weaponry. The Bolt Blaster has unlimited ammo, is easy to use, and more than enough firepower to get the job done. The Phoenix Cannon shoots out a fiery bird whose wingspan lights enemies ablaze as it flies by. There are 5+ weapons in this first chapter, with more to come.

• Classic Easter Eggs: The game features hard-to-find collectibles in sometimes even harder-to-find classic secret rooms. Use your precision platforming skills to collect 'em all.

THQ Nordic acquires Deep Silver parent Koch Media
THQ斥资九亿收购深银 《黑道圣徒》《地铁》IP回归

　　THQ Nordic近日宣布，全资收购德国发行商Koch Media，虽然Koch Media自己发行的游戏不多，但旗下为人熟知的发行商就是深银（Deep Silver），因为是全资收购，所以包括《黑道圣徒》、《死亡岛》、《地铁》等游戏版权都归THQ Nordic所有，“复活”后的THQ真有钱！

　　据悉，THQ Nordic将以1.21亿欧元，约合9.471638亿元的现金，以及约合9150万欧元的债券全资收购Koch Media。THQ Nordic将支付6600万欧元，约合6580万瑞典克朗的首付资金，之后以分期付款方式纳入Koch Media，交易将通过瑞典的卡尔斯塔德中介银行完成，所以会出现瑞典克朗货币。

　　交易大约会在2018年5月完成，届时THQ Nordic、Koch Media将保持各自的商标权。

　　THQ Nordic表示，《黑道圣徒》开发商Volition会在他们的协助下完成全新未公布的3A级游戏，《国土防线：革命》开发商Dambuster同样会在他们的协助下完成全新未公布的3A级游戏，以及4A Games的《地铁》新作，另外THQ Nordic还有一款未公布的3A级新作。

　　虽然Koch Media、深银继续保持独立性，但各自的IP、资产、资源将作为THQ Nordic集团的共享资源。

　　　值得一提的是，THQ Nordic共有24个未公布新作正在开发，加上Koch Media的9个，全新的THQ Nordic共有33个未公布新作正在开发

　　THQ Nordic原名为Nordic Games，2014年收购了THQ商标以及旗下大部分游戏版权与资源，因为觉得THQ商标名称更响亮，所以才改成THQ Nordic并把THQ放到他们公司名称Nordic的前面。

　　Nordic Games除了收购THQ外，之前还收购了德国开发商BitComposer，包括《铁血联盟》、《装甲战略HD》游戏版权，其中《铁血联盟》将开发新作。



THQ Nordic has acquired Koch Media, owner of Metro and Saints Row publisher Deep Silver, for Eur 121 million, the company announced.

Here is an overview of Koch Media as a company, via the press release:

Koch Media is a leading, independent producer and marketer of digital entertainment products in Europe and North America with studios in Germany, the UK, and the US, and offices in several Central and Northern European cities. Koch Media’s business consists of three business areas; 1) Games, which are mainly published under the Deep Silver label with several AAA-intellectual property rights such as Saints Row, Dead Island and Metro; 2) Partner Publishing, which is the leading company in this business area in Europe and 3) Film, which is a business within movies for primarily the German and Italian speaking territories. Koch Media generated net sales of approximately SEK 2,548 million and Adjusted EBIT of approximately SEK 296 million for the period April – December 2017.

“Koch Media has a long history of profitability despite losses incurred from some less successful game releases,” THQ Nordic CEO Lars Wingefors said in the press release. “THQ Nordic is convinced that the development studios of Deep Silver as part of THQ Nordic will successfully deliver at least four ongoing AAA game projects including Metro Exodus as well as the next Volition Studio AAA release and the next Dambuster Studio AAA release, together with a number of other game development and publishing titles.”

Koch Media CEO Dr. Klemens Kundratitz added, “I strongly believe that THQ Nordic is a great strategic fit with Koch Media. In addition to having long experience within games development and publishing, THQ Nordic has the skills, willingness and capital to deliver growth in the future.”
