PQube

Curse of the Sea Rats character

PQube and Petoons Studio shared an update on Curse of the Sea Rats today, and we now have a closer look at the title’s characters. We’re introduced to David Douglas, Buffalo Calf, Bussa, and Akane Yamakawa.

We have bios for each one below:

PQube seems to have confirmed that Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix will be releasing in the West on Switch next year. Official listings for the game have popped up at online retailers such as Amazon, featuring a March 16, 2023 release date.

Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix is the console version of the original 3D action mobile title Alice Gear Aegis. The game originally released on Switch in Japan last September.

Back in August, it was announced that upcoming adventure game A Space for the Unbound was to be delayed indefinitely due friction between the game’s developers, Toge Productions and Mojiken Studio, and their publisher at the time, PQube. Thankfully, this situation has now been resolved, with PQube ceding publishing rights to Chorus Worldwide.

While Toge Productions is still set to publish the game on PC, Chorus Worldwide is picking up the publishing mantle as global publisher for all console versions. As such, it would seem that PQube will no longer be involved in the game’s launch, but the title should be getting primed for release once again.

Here is the full statement from the involved parties detailing release plans going forwards:

Curse of the Sea Rats delayed physical

Curse of the Sea Rats has been delayed, with publisher PQube sharing a new early 2023 release window for the game. We also have confirmation that a physical version is planned.

Regarding the decision to push the title back, PQube said the team “will be using this time to improve balancing and performance, and to add voiceover to enhance the story of the final game.”

Here’s an official overview with more details:

Original (9/1): PQube has already been under fire after A Space for the Unbound publisher Toge Productions and developer Mojiken accused the company of “predatory practices”. Corecell Technology, the studio behind the AeternoBlade series, has now joined the fray as well.

In a statement, Corecell said PQube hasn’t provided full payment that was owed relating to a minimum guarantee and never paid for remaining milestones. Although the two sides terminated a publishing agreement, “PQube has refused to return the publishing control on the console platforms back to us and continues to sell and take all revenues from AeternoBlade II.” Nintendo has taken the game off of the Switch eShop in Europe, though Corecell hasn’t received any revenue from that region.

The full statement from Corecell reads as follows:

Mojiken Studio and Toge Productions, the primary developers of A Space for the Unbound, have announced that the game has been delayed indefinitely in light of accusations against PQube.

The issue comes down to PQube obtaining a diversity fund. While it was intended for developers, the company is accused of “intentionally withheld information about the grant and used it as a leverage for their own commercial gain.” It was further explained that PQube “hid the facts about the grant’s award and added it as a recoupable minimum guarantee and then used it to negotiate the increase of their revenue share.”
