Update: The official website is now live here. Bandai Namco is kicking off the beta on September 3 – at least in Japan.

Bandai Namco’s Project Treasure has finally resurfaced – and it has a new name.

The latest trailer for the game just came online a few minutes ago. In the new video, we learn that it’s been updated with the title “Lost Reavers”, and a beta test is happening soon.

Lost Reavers is a free-to-play online co-op action game. Four players hunt down treasure by fighting whatever gets in their way.

Players will have several characters to choose from. Sayuri, for instance, is an all-rounder who fights with both blades and guns. Dwayne is a “power type” character who seems to use heavy weapons. Victoria duel-wields guns, and ShadowStalk is a tricky character with a variety of attacks.

The main goal in Lost Reavers is to find and recover relics, but there’ll be all kinds of enemies and giant bosses standing in the way. One aspect of the game lets you customize the characters with different weapons, costumes and consumable items. The GamePad displays the map and can be used to chat with other players through pre-set messages. All of that stuff also appears on the main screen, so there might be Pro Controller support.

In celebration of PAX, the first gameplay of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty has been posted online. You can watch an official walkthrough video below.

Runbow made its debut on the North American Wii U eShop today. Once installed on your console (or external hard drive), the game takes up 709MB of space. That’s not too far off from the size of the Nindies@Home demo released during E3.

Update 4: GAME is now taking pre-orders for the Shovel Knight amiibo.

Update 3: Bumped to the top. 4u2play’s listing is interesting, as it mentions co-op on Wii U and the ability to customize Shovel Knight.

Here’s the full translation (thanks Jake):

Coop Multiplayer (Wii U exclusive)

• Enter a friends’ game and shovel together!
• Special Coop-Moves support you on your journey together.

Full flexibility:

User your personal amiibo seamless on Wii U and 3DS.

• The Shovel Knight amiibo will work with all Nintendo Products that Yacht Club Games will create in the near future.
• Compatible with Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS and Wii U.

Update 2: The Shovel Knight amiibo has also been listed by 4u2play.

Update: GAME’s tweet has been removed. We also have another, higher-quality image of the supposed amiibo from Reddit.

Is Shovel Knight getting its own amiibo? A tweet from UK retailer GAME claims that a figure based on Yacht Club Games’ character will actually be happening.

13AM Games is completely finished with Runbow’s development, but the company hasn’t stopped working on the title all together. Writing in a Reddit AMA, producer Dave Proctor mentioned that more content – including costumes and levels – will be added in the future. Additionally, any issues that crop up will be addressed as well.

Proctor mentioned:

“We’re planning new content right now and we’ll be making announcements very very soon. Suffice it to say we will continue to fix issues if there are any, and we want you guys to know that we are appreciative for all of your support. Definitely new costumes and levels down the road.”

13AM Games also expressed some interest in the 3DS during the AMA session, and also left the door open to a Runbow sequel. You can read the full Q&A here.

Runbow launched today on the North American Wii U eShop. The European release is set for September, and a specific date will be announced in the very near future.

Read up on the full exchange below.

NWR: 20 years. February 27th, 2016. What kind of plans you got, other than Pokkén Tournament?

JS: [Laughs] Wish I could tell you but I can’t!

NWR: Are there big plans for it?

JS: There’s always big plans for it. And obviously, you’re seeing some big product stuff for it that’s been announced that’s exciting for the year and we always want to keep fans on their toes, but nothing I can reveal at this time.

RCMADIAX has been known for its work on Wii U. But in 2016, the studio plans on adding the New 3DS as one of its supported platforms.

RCMADIAX stated the following earlier today:

There is one thing to keep in mind about today’s news. RCMADIAX games on New 3DS is probably a long ways off, as we won’t be seeing anything until Q4 2016 at the earliest.

@curbles Too early to talk specifics, earliest anything would be available is likely Q4 2016.
