Global publisher Green Man Gaming Publishing (@GMG_Publishing) announced a new global publishing deal with Indie developer Evil Twin Artworks to bring their exciting new comedic space combat adventure game The Galactic Junkers to PC and consoles in late 2022.
Evil Twin Artworks originally planned a Kickstarter campaign to support the PC development and hopefully secure funding for a console release but Green Man Gaming Publishing stepped in with a deal to support the team with publishing, PR and marketing support for the launch of all platforms.
The Galactic Junkers will transport you to a far away galaxy to become the space captain you always wanted to be. The only problem is that your ship needs work, there’s a price on your head, and your crew are idiots! What could possibly go wrong!
“We are excited to be partnering with the talented team at Evil Twin Artworks to bring The Galactic Junkers to market and further bolster our publishing portfolio” commented Helen Churchill, SVP of Publishing at Green Man Gaming Publishing. “We believe that this title can be an indie hit not only on PC but across all platforms and we will utilise our vast publishing experience to get The Galactic Junkers in the hands of gamers across the world”.
“We are so excited to be collaborating with Green Man Gaming on Galactic Junkers. This was such a departure from our previous title we are really pleased to be able to get the game out to a larger audience.” Commented James Carroll, Director at Evil Twin Artworks. “Green Man got it from the off and that was something that was important to us, there’s a lot of off kilter humour in The Galactic Junkers that we were pleased someone else was appreciating it outside of our little circle!”
The Galactic Junkers will be available for PC and consoles in late 2022.

Kakao Games and Pearl Abyss announced new details for their upcoming class, the Guardian. Following her release next week, the Guardian will get her Awakening skills two weeks after that on February 5th. The Guardian is joining Black Desert Online on January 22nd.
With her Awakening, the Guardian wields the Jördun, a massive polearm that burns with the holy flame of Ynix, the magic fire that has the power to slay even the gods themselves. The Guardian’s Awakening skills massively improve her Area of Effect potential, allowing her to take on large groups of enemies at once.
Additionally, as part of their ongoing Succession update, this week another class receives her Succession skills. The elegant but mysterious Dark Knight can wield updated skills of her original main-weapon, the Kriegsmesser. By giving up the versatility of her Awakening skills, players can choose to specialize in Succession skills which give them powerful versions of their main-weapon skills. Players can unlock their Succession skills at level 56 by accepting a quest from their Black Spirit companion.
The Dark Knight Succession is now available for players of Black Desert Online. Additionally, the new Guardian class will be available for pre-creation, players that complete a questline in the pre-creation week can earn bonus in-game rewards such as an exclusive horn the Guardian can use to call her mount. The class will become available next week on January 22, with her Awakening update to follow on February 5.
Players can start their adventure by signing up for the 7-day free trial via the Black Desert Online official website, where they can also learn more about the Guardian, events and Succession skills.
