Twelve Minutes

The interactive thriller Twelve Minutes is making the jump to Switch, publisher Annapurna Interactive and developer
Luis Antonio have confirmed. Look for it on December 7.

Twelve Minutes, a real-time top-down game with an accessible click and drag interface, features actors James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe. The game “blends the dream-like tension of The Shining with the claustrophobia of Rear Window and the fragmented structure of Memento.”

Asteroids Recharged

Asteroids: Recharged, which was first announced for Switch a couple of months ago, has secured a final release date. Publisher Atari as well as developers Adamvision Studios and SneakyBox Studios announced today that the game is arriving on December 14.

Asteroids: Recharged is a new take on the 1979 arcade classic, complete with an updated visual look. Composer Megan McDuffee is also on board for the game’s soundtrack which is inspired by the original’s tense mood, but with a synthwave flavor. Another features is the inclusion of two-player simultaneous play.

The release date for Ever Forward has now shifted once again, with publisher PM Studios and developer Pathea Games targeting a December 7 launch.

The title has been delayed a few times previously. PM Studios and Pathea Games previously shared release windows that were for Fall 2020, June 2021, and August 2021. Here’s hoping that this new date sticks.
