Barcelona studio to open in early 2024 and work is underway on a new third-person action-adventure title.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, USA, August 31, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Arctic7, which provides a robust suite of full-scale and co-development services in game development and virtual production services for the movie and TV industry, has today announced it will open a new facility in Barcelona, bolstering overall European presence alongside its existing studio in Montenegro.

The studio is scheduled to open in early 2024. Kedhrin Gonzalez will continue in his role as Studio Head of Arctic7 Montenegro and will add the Barcelona studio to his remit with the new studio significantly increasing development capacity available for full game and co-development work with partner projects and internal IP Arctic7 is developing, the first of which is also teased for the first time this week and presented to potential partners.

The as-yet unnamed title is a post-civilisation, third-person action-adventure title built using Unreal Engine 5. Humans thrive in the ruins of a world that fights off a new dark age thanks to the vestiges of technology but are faced with a growing challenge from the reawakening of ancient spiritual forces. Gameplay is built around deep exploration, emotional narrative and a sophisticated and evolving combat system.

Kedhrin Gonzalez, Arctic7 Europe Studio Head, said: “At Arctic7 Europe, while we continue to focus on building strong partnerships for our co-development work, we’re always trying to think of ways to push forward our skills and fuel our passion for making great games for partners. This project is a direct result of that passion and draws on the teams’ experience working on some of the world’s leading games such as Halo, Rainbow Six series and more.”

Arctic7 Chief Executive Officer Igor Efremov said: “Over the past year, we have significantly grown our full game, co-development and virtual production capabilities as we look to establish a leadership position in the space and all focused on delivering great entertainment experiences for our partners and players. We are proud to announce that we are continuing to grow Arctic7 in Barcelona, which will be an additional hub for both full game development and co-development projects. I believe the historic city of Barcelona will be a great steppingstone forwards, giving us access to a rich talent pool so that we can turn out even more entertainment experiences.’’

The news follows a recent announcement that Arctic7 had appointed a new commercial team, featuring a variety of seasoned industry leaders to build exceptional partnerships and pursue an array of new business opportunities.

Established in 2022, Arctic7 is a fully independent collection of four studios, strategically situated in the US, Canada and Europe with capabilities across gaming and media industries. Each studio is an integral part of Arctic7’s collective strength with more than 150 dedicated professionals working across internally developed IP, co-development projects and virtual production.

Prison City is a dystopian, action-packed side-scroller with tight mechanics and intricate level design.

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES, August 30, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Retroware (publishers of the upcoming Iron Meat and Toxic Crusaders games) team up with developer Programancer to create Prison City. It’s a dystopian, action-packed side-scroller with tight mechanics and intricate level design. Battle techno-terrorists with a chakram and grenades, eat hot dogs for health, and locate contacts to help take down bosses.

A group of Techno-Terrorists have infiltrated Prison City (formerly Detroit). The outsiders quickly indoctrinate the criminals and supply them with weapons to build an army. Each security zone is overtaken by an appointed Techno-Terrorist warden. Not much is known about the leader of the Techno-Terrorists or their motive, but the group has been in power ever since. As former cop Hal Bruzer, take on the Chief’s request to raid Prison City’s security zones and bring an end to the Techno-Terrorists’ reign.

Key Features:
• Retro-style gameplay comparable to a late NES game
• Discoverable secrets and upgrades
• 8+ diverse zones, like Freeways, Factories, & a Nature Preserve
• Customizable difficult and gameplay experience
• Boss Mode and Bomb Mode for extended gameplay
• There’s a talking dolphin

“Prison City is one of the best platformers I’ve played in quite a while. If you’re wanting something that has that 80’s platformer edge with a more forgiving difficulty, this is the game!” – Voultar, Hardware Modder

Lead developer Programancer is a Michigan-based dev, artist, and programmer behind several retro-inspired titles such as Dumpy and Bumpy and The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest. They are also the host of the yearly itch io RetrogradeJam — and in July 2022 Prison City’s development started. Programancer has kept two goals in mind during Prison City’s development: First, to reuse systems and packages from their other games to make a killer gameplay experience as quickly as possible. And second, to make a game that feels heavy, but kinetic, and aesthetically inspired by seminal NES games such as Shatterhand and Power Blade.

Prison City is available NOW on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The console ports (Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/X/S, and PlayStation 4/5) will be out in early October. For more information about the game, please visit https://prisoncitygame.com/

About Retroware: “We make damn good modern-retro games. The games we THOUGHT we played as kids. The ones that were hard-as-nails, and at the time, fun-as-hell… those 8 and 16-bit games that defined our childhood. As a developer and publisher we’re bringing back these retro experiences, BUT with all the conveniences of modern gaming.” ~The Retroware Team
