Indie publisher Assemble Entertainment and German studio BUNTSPECHT.GAMES annonuced that Fall of Porcupine will launch in 2023 on Xbox One and Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam and GOG. Check out the new trailer!
Delicately dealing with difficult subject matters while also doubling down on the importance of friendship, Fall of Porcupine tells an emotional story from the perspective of a fledgling doctor in a lovingly illustrated world. Finley is a fresh new face in the town of Porcupine, and players must guide the wet-behind-the-ears doctor through his first few weeks of medical residency. At first glance, the small town of Porcupine is a quaint, friendly place where everyone knows and warmly greets each other. However, after living there for any length of time, it’s clear that not everyone is as honest as they appear to be. As if that wasn’t devastating enough, Finley will be confronted with a different dilemma altogether: the collision of work and daily life – a reflection of an unhealthy and systemic issue in the healthcare industry at large.
The Gap tells the difficult story of one man’s struggle to find a cure for his family’s sickness by diving ever deeper into his own psyche and through the exploration of the memories dear to his heart.
Joshua Hayes is a neuroscientist, whose family is touched by a rare genetic disorder that slowly eats away at one’s memories, dissolving the person’s sanity and personality. The struggle and fight of the family is witnessed through the lense of memories of their highest and lowest moments.
Exploring parallel realities through deja vu seems to be the only way he can recover his memories and salvage his life.
Let's take a look at the official announcement trailer.
The Gap will be available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC early 2023.
Team17 (@Team17) announced that Moving Out 2, the sequel to the 2020 award-winning couch moving, couch co-op game from SMG Studios (@smgstudio) and DevM Games, will be launching for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC in 2023. Become a removals master in the game that brings new meaning to "couch co-op".
Moving Out 2 will take players back to the breakneck, breakback (and ‘break-knee’) world of Smooth Moves’ Furniture Arrangement and Relocation Technicians (F.A.R.Ts), as they pack furniture, technology, and everything including the kitchen sink across increasingly bizarre locales, with increasingly deadly challenges.
Moving Out 2 will see the introduction of online co-operative, cross-play enabled gameplay to the series, allowing F.A.R.Ts around the world to team up and creatively move furniture from point A to point B and beyond! Announced during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Moving Out 2 will again feature a cast of bizarre unlockable characters as they traverse different dimensions in the pursuit of seamless and (sometimes) breakage-free home removals, across more than 50 new levels and challenges.
Watch the brand-new trailer below:
Moving Out 2 Features
Co-op Continued: Players can either take on Moving Out 2 solo, or with friends (or enemies) in both couch and cross-play enabled online co-op.
Location, location, location: 50+ new levels offer up interesting and hazardous challenges for the F.A.R.Ts to pit their moving prowess against.
Physics: Gravity is both a cruel mistress and a F.A.R.T’s best friend; use it to get items to where they need to go faster... but maybe not in one piece.
Crazy characters: Featuring a whole new host of smooth movers, Moving Out 2 showcases entirely new characters that will both enchant and horrify.
Assist mode: Movers of all abilities are welcome in Packmore; with Assist Mode, the possibilities (and fun) are endless, and inclusive!
Moving Out 2 will be available for Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Switch & PC in 2023.

This is a truly hardcore experience and the fights will not be easy. Test your mettle and use every technique you have as you battle through hordes of mercenaries, synthetics and private security forces.
Broken Roads presents a post-apocalypse future with real-world locations and landmarks serving as the backdrop for the complex stories of Australia’s survivors wrapped in an intricate hand-drawn aesthetic.

In addition, the in-game locations are all authentic recreated from the team visiting towns and landmarks in West Australia and taking photos, videos and audio recordings for it to be as true as possible . Furthermore, even the game's atmospheric soundtrack composed by Tim Sunderland is composed with instruments constructed from everyday objects which brings a wholly unique and distinctive tone to the game.
