Sixth Hammer has announced that Moo Lander is heading to Xbox One. Moo Lander is an action-adventure RPG with Metroidvania elements featuring an epic story about cows and milk. In the game the milk is the purest and most effective resource.
Since Moo Lander will very soon be joining the big Xbox games' family, The Sixth Hammer team has prepared a special demo build – bigger, better, more beautiful than ever, more challenging than before! Packing a 30 to 40 minutes singleplayer campaign and almost limitless multiplayer action with three super fun modes – PvP, PvE battles and Galactic Mooball soccer simulator.
This is a demo version, and it offers unlockable battle skins, challenging creatures to combat, Mighty Cow boss battles, beautiful graphics, self-recorded orchestral music, RPG elements, multiplayer and lots of milk! And now you can experience all these features on your Xbox One console. How cool is that?
Key Features
Some of the cool gameplay features in this Moo Lander demo include:
Unlockable camouflage modules - throughout the levels, there are collectables scattered, can you find them all to unlock new looks for your flying spaceship?
The Milk Arsenal - learn how to use The Milk Shield and The Milk Saber for defense and offense (or both). The Milk Bullets are the default milk-powered weapon.
"Ask Hamilton" option - yep, it is exactly that - you can ask your ship's AI Hamilton for some useful information about the flora and fauna of the world you explore.
Balanced difficulty levels - you have three options to choose from: the cheasy run, the normal playthrough or the legendairy soulslike experience. The chouce is yours.
Galactic Mooball mooltiplayer mode - play with three of your friends locally, two teams, one moobal, lots of soccer arenas. Here, you can play as the cow as well, and you can choose a special mooball (with its own physical trait) for each match.
And many more exiting details, which we won't spoil here, but will leave you to find for yourself during your demo playthrough.
Demo Length
With all that being said, the new Moo Lander demo is extended to about 30-40 (and even longer on harder difficulty) minutes of intense gameplay, not including the mooltiplayer options. There are also three difficult levels added – easy, normal and hard. The last one being for those of you who fancy a souls-like challenge. Expect environmental puzzles as well, and many, many alien creatures along the way to victory. But you don’t have to be alone in this journey – you can invite some friends over to enjoy the 4-player couch co-op multiplayer!

Apogee Entertainment (@Apogee_Ent), the legendary developer-publisher behind Duke Nukem, Prey (2006), Max Payne, Wolfenstein 3D, Commander Keen, and many more, announced today that the company has accepted $5 million in external financing - making it the first outside investment in Apogee's history.
eWTP Tech Innovation Fund’s $5 million investment in Apogee comes on the heels of the original indie game publisher’s public resurgence in March 2021, when founder and industry luminary Scott Miller rejoined the company he started in his parents’ home in 1987. A creative powerhouse that mentored id Software, Remedy Entertainment, and so many others, Apogee’s 2021 resurrection saw several successful game launches, like sci-fi survival adventure Residual from OrangePixel, and even more signings, including the open-world epic Elements (starring Patricia Summersett of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) and Turbo Overkill, a frenetic first-person shooter from the acclaimed creator of DOOM II mod Total Chaos.
eWTP shares Apogee’s vision for an industry future where undiscovered indie talent is found, elevated, and rewarded for simply giving consumers great games—complete, polished, and purely fun. Their investment will accelerate Apogee’s growth, allow the hiring of additional management and production staff, and make possible the signing of several new games and developers spanning the globe.
"I couldn't be more thrilled by this investment in our future success. I’m especially glad to have met Partner CY Chen and VP of Business Development Jack Sorensen, both of whom impressed us deeply with their understanding of our profession and business goals," said Scott Miller. "Partnering with eWTP has us excited for the rocket ride ahead, on which we’ll discover and bring even more games to the world."
The iGaming industry is currently undergoing a strong growth wave, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and a shift in government legislation worldwide. As a result, companies are jostling for position to claim a slice of the ever-growing pie. One of these is Authentic Gaming, which has recently shared its plans for growth in the iGaming industry in 2023. We look at some of these plans, and their relevance to the industry as a whole over the coming year.
This acquisition kicked off a strong season of experimentation for Authentic Gaming, where they tested out various aspects of the market as part of a large organization. Part of this has looked like trialing integration with other products and offerings from Light and Wonder’s business. The Head of Marketing and Strategy Execution at Authentic Gaming, Dagmara Bator, had this to say,
“We are incorporating Light & Wonder’s IP into our casino offering. For example, Authentic Gaming now has the largest side-bet library of blackjack and baccarat in the live casino sector, including the most popular ShuffleMaster side bets, which are very recognizable to players.”
The result of this
testing across 2022 has left Authentic Gaming in a strong position now to launch in 2023 and take control of some markets in the new year.

There’s no denying that North America is one of the most exciting markets in the iGaming space right now.
