Sample the SULFUR soundtrack with these singles
Smells horrible, sounds great
Developer Perfect Random previously announced that they’re bringing SULFUR to the Switch, and we can expect it to arrive sometime in 2025. While we wait for news on that front, some soundtrack samples have been released and you can give them a listen throughout this post.
SULFUR is a modern old-school action-adventure: Outsmart enemies, find treasure, improve weapons, harness powers. Delve deeper, find answers, make it end. Plan ahead to outsmart enemies and progress through a world of dark creatures and cunning evil. Utilize playful and tactile weaponry in visceral and intense combat. Make creative builds with weapons, equipment, tools and enchantments to aid your quest. Be a gun-blazing risktaker or carefully plan out strategies. There’s plenty of playstyles - the choice is yours.
A place filled to the brim with action, juicy guns, dashing combat and monstrosities lurking around every corner. Enhance guns with combinations of a wide variety of enchantments and attachments. Explore to discover secrets, find loot and treasure - but be careful. Think carefully; everything you bring can be lost, anything you don’t bring is not there to help you. Every decision is bound with risk.
Experience the atmosphere, suspense and tribulation of a world in redemption. What happened? Why did it happen? Travel through misty vales, dark forests, sordid Black Guild shanties and pass through castle walls and beyond. Go deeper, head on. Answers come to those who listen.
Explore, discover, uncover. On your adventure you encounter odd creatures in in the most unexpected places - heed their warnings. They may despise you, admire you, cheer you on, or be indifferent to you and your journey. Will you have to charm, threat, bribe, or rid them? Will they help you? Will you help them?

Lancelot Joins Royalty Free-For-All
Lance sure is a lot
Hear ye, hear ye! Today it was confirmed that Lancelot the Great, Knight of the Round Table, was revealed as the newest playable character in the upcoming party brawler Royalty Free-For-All from AAAA Games, and there was much rejoicing. Lancelot joins the roster of other iconic characters from the public domain, battling in approachable 2D battles for up to four players. Huzzah!
Lancelot uses his lance a lot, packing a punch with its length and his incredible strength to punish his opponents from a distance. His attacks see him lobbing enemies into the air before smashing them to the ground with the lance, or thrusting his lance into the ground to kick up rocks. He can even leap into the air and spin the lance like a propeller, attacking his airborne enemies from below. Like every character in Royalty Free-For-All, Lancelot is packed with personality and details reflecting his status as a larger-than-life figure from all forms of fiction. Nobody thinks Lancelot is handsome more than Lancelot himself, but deep down inside he’s not as confident as he wants everyone to think. In between attacks you will find him admiring his own reflection in the tip of his lance, and when knocked down he will make a plea for sympathy from the other characters. Lancelot joins the roster of previously confirmed public domain characters including Dorothy, Sweeney Todd, Mother Goose, and Lilith.
Lancelot’s introduction comes alongside two newly-announced stages: The Cherry Orchard, the titular location from the renowned Chekhov play, and Pimento University, home of the merry Dover Boys.
Royalty Free-For-All is a true “pick up and play” experience where anyone can enjoy madcap brawls full of exciting combos and hilarious interactions thanks to its easy-to-learn controls. Light, Strong, and Special attacks can be executed with a single button press whether the player is on the ground or in midair for a total of six possible attacks with unique depth for dedicated players to learn the strategic ins-and-outs, plus a fast pace and familiar mobility techs for longtime platform fighting fans. Players will be able to take the multiplayer fun online thanks to the engine’s use of rollback netcode, which allows for smooth quick-play matches with random opponents and private lobbies with friends.
Lancelot and the rest of the Royalty Free-For-All crew will make a public appearance at the upcoming Heat Wave tournament in Tucson, Arizona, hosted by Aether Studios. Although registration for the Royalty Free-For-All event has reached capacity, attendees will be able to see the game live and in-person and gamers around the world can tune in to see the tournament streamed live on Twitch Friday, November 8th at 7:00 PM MST
Royalty Free-For-All is in early development for Switch.

Infogrames — a game publishing and distribution subsidiary of Atari — today announced the acquisition of the Bread & Fred publishing rights in an agreement with Apogee Entertainment. Bread & Fred is a popular co-op game developed by Sand Castles Studio.
Bread & Fred released for PC on Steam on May 23, 2023 where it garnered positive industry and player reviews. Exactly a year later, on May 23, 2024 a version was released for the Nintendo Switch. Infogrames will work with the Sand Castles Studio to bring more content and updates to the game, as well as extend the offering to the PlayStation and Xbox platforms in the coming months.
Bread & Fred is a casual but challenging co-op platformer where players must work together to help two cute and funny penguins, Bread and Fred, jump and climb to the top of a snowy mountain. The title has gained a loyal following as much for its ability to reduce friends to a fit of giggles or tears as for its unique gameplay mechanics, adorable characters and friendly NPCs.
Players steer the penguin pals through an exasperating and sometimes maddening climb that requires precision with every jump. Tethered together, the characters can use their momentum to swing each other onto higher and higher ledges. But forget to anchor and if one falls they will pull the other down with them.
Solo players make their way up the mountain as Greg, who must use a rock on a rope (named Jeff), instead of a penguin pal, to swing his way uphill.

Juanma Latorre of Vetusta Morla Composes the Soundtrack for Camper Van: Make it Home
Hit the road with these sweet sounds
Camper Van: Make it Home, the eagerly awaited video game inviting players to embark on a design-driven journey of personal discovery on wheels, has announced a special collaboration with Juanma Latorre, guitarist and composer of the renowned band Vetusta Morla, who will compose the game’s official soundtrack. This collaboration will be unveiled for the first time during the Save & Sound event, taking place from November 4 to 7, through a demo update on Steam and the release of a new video.
The Camper Van: Make it Home project offers a relaxed, creative experience focused on van customization. In this game, players can personalize their own home on wheels, crafting a unique space that reflects their tastes and personality as they embark on a journey of self-discovery. Inspired by block organization and interior design, the game encourages decorating and arranging every corner of the van to truly make it their own. As players build their space, they gradually uncover the story that led the protagonist to begin this journey.
Juanma Latorre joined the project after meeting the studio’s team through a mutual friend, Arturo Monedero, with whom he had collaborated previously. The concept of Camper Van: Make it Home resonated with him because of the game’s values of connection with nature and self-discovery. “It’s a special project that combines an outward journey with an inward one; an adventure that allows you to reconnect, connect with nature, and experience the freedom of exploring in a camper van,” Latorre commented about the collaboration. For him, the opportunity to contribute a soundtrack that captures this essence was a unique chance to add an emotional layer to the game.
Latorre’s participation in the Save & Sound event marks the beginning of this musical collaboration, with a presentation showcasing some of the melodies he has composed especially for the game. According to the development team, the soundtrack aims to capture the calm, creativity, and sense of belonging that characterize the experience of van customization and living within it.
The release date for Camper Van: Make it Home has yet to be announced, but anticipation is growing among fans of both video games and music. The collaboration with Latorre promises to bring a unique emotional dimension to this creative and exploratory adventure, and the soundtrack’s debut at Save & Sound is expected to be one of the event’s highlights.

About Camper Van: Make it Home
In Camper Van: Make it Home players will be able to camperize their own van and will embark on a journey of personal discovery while creating a space as creative as it is useful for organizing all their belongings.
The game allows gamers to delve into the story of its protagonist, who leaves behind her comfortable and monotonous life to dare to explore a more nomadic, natural and environmentally aware one. This title invites us to discover the experiences the main character goes through on each trip thanks to the objects she carries with her, the ones she collects, the ones that undergo changes, and the ones she leaves behind.
The journey starts with a totally empty van in a charming destination. In the process of camperizing, it will be possible to add as much furniture as space allows. Once furnished, the goal will be to store and sort all the traveler’s belongings, which will be available in a pack list. Not only is it possible to decorate the space inside the van, but also the exterior is customizable.
Once the process of camperizing and organizing is finished, it will be the time to move on to the next journey. What will be the destination?
