limit! Literally.
Enemies & Hazards - No-one said heists were easy. Every chapter is filled with enemies determined to stop your stealing and environmental hazards that will blow your socks clean off. With careful planning, and a lot of bumbling about, you’ll be able to smash and grab with the best of them. Even if you do lose your life, never fear, simply get your team to flush you down the toilet, and you’ll be back and fighting fit in no time.
Abilities & Power-Ups - The deck isn’t stacked against you as each mutant animal has their own special ability letting you explode things, smash up levels, and level the playing field.

SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announced that a remake of the classic PS3 Yakuza game, Like a Dragon: Ishin!, is heading to Xbox Series, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and PC next year. Watch the official announcement trailer and learn more about the upcoming game on @XONEHQ.
Like a Dragon: Ishin! is an action-adventure historical thriller set uniquely in 1860s Kyo, a fictionalized version of Kyoto. While other games tell earlier stories in Japanese history, Like a Dragon: Ishin! lets you experience the story of how the iconic samurai era vanished. Our hero, Sakamoto Ryoma, is a true historical figure largely credited with overthrowing the shogunate and taking Japan into a radical reformation.
Like a Dragon: Ishin brings in familiar faces to tell this epic historical tale. Fans will recognize our protagonist as Kazuma Kiryu from earlier entries in the franchise. In Like a Dragon: Ishin!, Kiryu is cast as Sakamoto Ryoma and brings the rest of his crew along too. Goro Majima and other Yakuza celebrities join Ryoma as friends and foes in this fictional world that trades the flashy streets of Tokyo for the chaotic bustle of 1860s Kyo. These new character dynamics are as thrilling as they are unexpected, with a series of mind-blowing twists and turns in a story only Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio can tell.
Yakuza: Ishin! Like a Dragon: Ishin! launches February 2023 on Xbox Series, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

There are a number of worlds to discover, each with various stages, challenges and bosses scattered across their continents. Unlock new modes and arenas to play in the Versus Mode as you progress.
“Vikings on Trampolines began life as one of our small experimental projects, which won the first Nordic Games Indie Sensation Award back in 2011,” said D-Pad Studio’s Jo-Remi Madsen. “After releasing Owlboy, we’ve since returned to the idea and developed it into a fun, fully-fledged, co-op adventure! Between Simon’s incredible art, an awesome soundtrack and a unique concept, we aim to deliver a game bursting with the character and quality D-Pad Studio is known for.”
