Wii U Exclusive Stealth Inc 2 Coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC

Stealth Inc 2, the puzzle-platform game that released in late October as a Wii U exclusive, is set to release soon on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PS3, PS Vita, and PC.

The shift to other consoles is due by April, suggesting that the exclusivity agreement with Nintendo lasted about six months. Curve Digital, the game's London based developer, turned heads in May when it announced it was backing the Wii U as the rest of the industry was turning away from the system.

"The good thing about releasing on Nintendo is, you're not competing with a lot of other people," Curve Studios' Marketing Manager Rob Clarke told Gamespot at the time.

"Even as an indie publisher we always fight with AAA for space on the storefront. With Nintendo, we know they're gonna support us. We also know that we're not having to compete with, say, Watch Dogs for example."

The original Stealth Inc impressed most critics, with GameSpot's review declaring it "a tightly crafted and incredibly rewarding adventure through a dark dystopia." The sequel, meanwhile, has also garnered a positive response.

UK Games Chart: Dying Light Overcomes Delay With First-Place Debut

First-person zombie survival title Dying Light has debuted at the top of the all-format UK games charts, despite a month-long delay to its physical release.

The game first released in the US on January 27, and was scheduled to ship across Europe on the same week. However, a major distribution error meant the game's physical release across the continent was delayed to February 27. The digital edition for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC was not affected by the delay.

Despite the digital edition's month on the market (sales of which are not counted), Dying Light nevertheless managed to outsell all competition and land at first in the all-format top ten.

This marks the third new number one in as many weeks, with The Order: 1886 and Evolve both debuting at first. It's also another success for the independent Poland studio Techland, perhaps best known for its 2011 zombie title Dead Island.

Elsewhere in the charts, Sony's The Order: 1886 drops to forth amid a vacuum of post-release buzz. Meanwhile, the cross-platform action game Dragon Ball XenoVerse managed to jump to third place.

One other new entrant, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, enters at 21.

The full top ten follows:

1. Dying Light
2. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
3. Dragon Ball XenoVerse
4. The Order: 1886
5. Grand Theft Auto 5
6. FIFA 15
7. Far Cry 4
8. Evolve
9. Minecraft Xbox Edition
10. Minecraft PlayStation Edition

Sonic Dev Isn't Done With Consoles, Despite Sega's Shift

Sega's longstanding mascot Sonic still has a place on consoles, one key developer of the franchise has said, following previous statements from the publisher which suggest it will be redirecting its focus to PC and mobile.

Takashi Iizuka, the head of the Tokyo based studio Sonic Team, made the assurance in an interview with 4Gamer amid suggestions that Sega was ready to abandon consoles altogether.

"Please rest assured, I personally have no plans to stop making Sonic games for home consoles," Iizuka told 4Gamer.

Iizuka was, however, speaking personally about his own ambitions. It is still not certain whether Sega would green-light new Sonic projects for consoles.

In January, Sega revealed that it is reducing headcount, relocating its San Francisco office, and focusing on mobile and PC games in a bid to "drastically improve profitability."

It was implied here, but not explicitly confirmed, that Sega was more-or-less finished with the console games business. In February, financial documents revealed that Sega's major push on console games had fallen short of expectations.

The struggling publisher, which formed in the 1940s and shifted its business into video games by the late '80s, told investors that it would reposition its business around "smartphone and PC online gaming."

Sega's statement came amid the release of Sonic Runners, the first smartphone game in the series developed by Sonic Team. For now, the iOS and Android autorunner is only available in Canada as part of a test launch.

Watch the First Trailer for Trine 3

Developer Frozenbyte has announced Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power.

Like the previous games in the series, Trine 3 will let you solve physics-based puzzles with friends or alone by switching between a number of characters, each with its own unique ability. As you can see in the trailer above, the game will see the return of its three main characters, the thief, knight, and wizard.

Unlike the other previous Trine games, which had beautiful 3D graphics but we're played on a 2D plane, Trine 3 looks like it will feature fully 3D segments, allowing you to move into the level's foreground and background.

A third installment in the series makes sense when you consider that, to date, Frozenbyte has sold 7 million copies of the Trine games.

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power is coming in 2015. Frozenbyte didn't announce platforms, but previous Trine games were released on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

House of Cards Season 3 Keeps the Video Game References Coming

House of Cards protagonist Frank Underwood is a fan of video games, and his hobby doesn't take a backseat in the recently premiered third season.

Earlier in the series, Underwood--played by Kevin Spacey--expresses his delight in seeing a PlayStation Vita in a moment that felt a lot like paid product placement. Later, he's seen playing Call of Duty against other people. online (After Spacey starred in Advanced Warfare, there was some talk of having him play it on the show.)

Now, in the third season, he's spending time on an iPad playing the critically acclaimed Monument Valley. And lest you think the appearance was paid for, developer Ustwo has denied that is the case, stating on Twitter, "People have been asking, so we can confirm that MV appearing on House of Cards wasn't paid product placement, just a cool collaboration."

That isn't the extent of the video game talk in season three. As Polygon reports, a video game reviewer--the fictional Thomas Yates--is hired to write Underwood's biography during the course of the show, and the subject of his reviews come up.

Underwood notes that he "tend[s] to play shoot 'em ups" while shying away from indie games. However, Yates' review of Monument Valley prompts Underwood to give it a try, which is why we see him playing it--and it's why he wants Yates (whom he deems a good writer) to pen his biography. Underwood is also later exposed to The Stanley Parable, another game that doesn't fit in the shooter category.

Season three of House of Cards is available for streaming now through Netflix.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus Arena Mixes Twin Stick Shooters and MOBAs

Games Workshop and developer Whitebox Interactive have announced Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus Arena, a new multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Whitebox Interactive describes the game as a blend of the twin stick shooter and MOBA genres. Players will go into battles in teams of four, choosing "Veteran warriors" from the Space Marine, Ork, and Tay factions. Players will also be able to customize their characters with different wargrear and special abilities. Eldar, Dark Eldar, Chaos Space Marines and other factions you'll recognize from the original tabletop game or many of its video game adaptations will be added to Dark Nexus Arena in the future.

Whitebox Interactive says that it's been working on the game since 2012, even before it officially partnered with Games Workshop, which owns the right to Warhammer 40,000.

"We are thrilled to be working with Games Workshop to launch the first MOBA in the Warhammer 40,000 universe," CEO of Whitebox Interactive Jonathan Falkowski said. "We are hard-core MOBA players with a shared passion for the Warhammer 40,000 intellectual property here at Whitebox. Our aim is to deliver a highly-polished experience that a player of any skill level can step into and find success and enjoyment."

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus is set to launch on PC in 2016.

Hyrule Warriors' Final DLC Includes an Unexpected Playable Character

This story contains spoilers about a secret character in the Boss Pack DLC for Hyrule Warriors.

The fourth and final DLC pack for Hyrule Warriors is almost here. In addition to adding Ganon as a playable character, there's another secret, unlockable character awaiting players.

With the DLC having been released in Japan this week, a YouTube video (below) has surfaced showing that the Boss Pack DLC includes a playable Cucco. That is, a giant version of the chickens from almost every Legend of Zelda game ever released is now playable, and it can not only use its beak to attack, it can also summon smaller Cuccos to attack.

Unlocking the Cucco requires you to achieve an A-rank of Ganon's third survival mission.

The Boss Pack is due out in North America on March 12 for $2.99. Alternatively, it's included in the previously released $20 bundle of all four DLC packs.

If You Like Descent, Watch This Trailer for 6DoF Shooter Sublevel Zero

If you miss Descent's aerial first-person gameplay, you'll want to keep an eye out for Sublevel Zero, a new six-degree-of-freedom shooter.

If you haven't played Descent before, it's a lot like other straightforward first-person shooters from the '90s, only you're in a spaceship, so you're able to fly around the level, stop on a dime, turn in any direction, and change course very quickly.

Developer Sigtrap describes the game as a roguelike shooter set in a universe where reality is falling apart. You'll take control over a gunship and travel through a procedurally-generated labyrinth, solving puzzles, collecting artifacts, and fighting enemies. The developer added that the game is focused on survival, with little ammunition that will make you carefully approach every enemy encounter.

"Sublevel Zero has been inspired by our favorite games of our formative years like Descent, Forsaken and modern shooters like Teleglitch," Sigtrap designer Luke Thompson said.

Sublevel Zero will launch summer 2015 for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux.
