Indie developer and publisher, Psyonic, announced today that its sports-action game, Rocket League, is now available on Xbox One for $19.99.
Made possible by the ID@Xbox self-publishing program and co-developed by Panic Button Games, the new Xbox One version of Rocket League is fully optimized for the system with several content upgrades already built-in; including two Xbox One-exclusive Battle-Cars: the Halo “HogSticker,” an alternate version of the famous Warthog Force Application Vehicle, and the Gears of War “Armadillo,” an Armored Personnel Carrier.
For the equivalent price of the PS4 and PC versions, the Xbox One version also comes bundled with three previously-released DLC packs – Supersonic Fury, Revenge of the Battle-Cars, and Chaos Run – at no additional charge. Xbox One-exclusive Garage items based on Insomniac Games’ Sunset Overdrive and supplementary Halo and Gears of War-inspired wheels, antennas, and more, are also included.
Nobody is going to hold your hand through The Flame in the Flood. Nobody to stoke the fire and fend off the cold at night, to bandage and kiss your wounds, and certainly nobody to put food on the table when your stomach starts grumbling.
But, to at least give you a fighting chance at not starving to death, developer The Molasses Flood presents a short video of useful hunting and gathering tips.
Coming to Xbox One and PC on February 24th, The Flame in the Flood is a rogue-lite river journey through the backwaters of a forgotten, post-societal America. Forage, craft, outwit predators, and beat the rapids as you make your way down the procedurally generated river.

Slated for release on March 15th, the game will be available in stores for the PlayStation 4, and digitally for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
Character Substitution is one of the new features to debut in Samurai Warriors 4 Empires. Players will be able to fully create and customize their playable character’s appearance, political proclivities, and move sets, as well as personalized family crests, Musou kanji, and portraits. Player-created characters will be fully immersed in the drama of the era, taking part in the lives of historical figures (either as friends or foes). Players will also be able to swap a historical character with a custom character in unlocked cutscenes, allowing for a more customized experience.
To add to the level of customization in Samurai Warriors 4 Empires, developer Omega Force has implemented a brand new Castle Customization feature, allowing players to build a Castle to their specifications as well as decorate it with unlockable decorative wallpapers, or with banners that can be collected by completing missions. These banners often offer extra bonuses, such as increased income, supplies, commerce, and fame.
