4J Studios (@4JStudios) #ManicMechanics, the chaotic couch co-op game where you and up to three fellow grease monkeys pay a visit to the car-obsessed Octane Isle, is heading to Xbox One, Xbox Series XS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam) on March 7.
In Manic Mechanics, up to four players pull on their overalls and head to the auto-obsessed Octane Isle, looking to make a name for themselves as traveling mechanics. Players challenge the Master Mechanics who rule the island to prove their crew is worthy of joining the mechanics guild.
It’s a race against the clock to repair as many cars (trucks, choppers, tractors, mini-subs and UFOs...) as possible. The faster the mechanics work, the more chaos is unleashed; intricate mechanical processes are hindered by fuel spills, exploding tires, short-circuiting robots, stampeding cows and even alien abductions, with hilariously chaotic consequences.
Building on community feedback from the Nintendo Switch release, 4J Studios has added a host of new features and content to this laugh-out-loud party game – most notably the incorporation of a ‘Versus’ mode to complement the local and online co-op gameplay. In addition to this (potentially friendship-ending) competitive mode, the all-formats release also includes a whole new neighborhood, new characters, and entertaining twists to some of the most popular levels.
The Nintendo Switch version will be enhanced with new game modes and extra content that same day, with existing players receiving a free update.
Manic Mechanics launches March 7, 2024 on Xbox One, Xbox X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC (Steam). The game was released for the Nintendo Switch on July 13, 2023.

Chimera Entertainment confirmed that Strategy 4X title, Songs of Silence, will release in Spring 2024. The game will be released first on PC, with console versions to follow.
Songs of Silence is a story-rich strategy game for PC and console, set in two distinct fantasy worlds threatened by the all-devouring Silence. The game features a unique mix of turn-based kingdom management, exploration, and hero development, contrasted with short and intense real-time battles. Featuring a beautiful orchestral soundtrack by Hitoshi Sakimoto, composer for Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII.
Beautiful, Art Nouveau-inspired graphics
Fueled by the work of Alphonse Mucha and other proponents of the Art Nouveau style, Songs of Silence bucks the strategy trend of muddy maps and dour, anonymous units by bringing beautiful, colorful visuals to the genre.
Songs of Silence features
Classic 4X Strategy - Lead mighty armies conscripted from a roster of over 100 units as you explore beautiful handmade campaigns and custom multiplayer maps. Outwit your opponents by laying deadly ambushes in the terrain or march right up to the front gates to lay siege to their cities. Manage hard-won resources to rebuild a ravaged realm and defeat your rival kingdoms.
Innovative battle system - Play intense, fast-paced battles as the armies of the realms clash in vicious combat. Set your formation and prepare to engage the enemy, using tactical orders, reinforcements, and divine powers to turn the tide of conflict.
Cards - Songs of Silence offers a fresh take on cards. Instead of collecting and building a deck of cards which are dealt in hands, cards in Songs of Silence represent unique actions granted by heroes and locations. These are then played on the campaign map or during our real-time battles to influence outcome via troop orders, status effects, or direct damage.
Three distinct, powerful factions - Each faction and hero has their distinct play style, both on the strategic map and in battle. Choose from hundreds of card effects, from celestial summons to burning down entire cities. The options are nearly limitless.
Songs of Silence, debuted a brand new trailer during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted event on November 30th, 2023. Alongside the trailer, a release window of Spring 2024 was confirmed for the game. Songs of Silence will be released first on PC, with console versions to follow.
