TruFin plc
("TruFin" or the "Company")
Playstack Limited ("Playstack") releases award-winning game -
AK-xolotl
TruFin is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Playstack, the
leading UK games publisher, has released its latest title,
AK-xolotl, developed by Barcelona-based 2Awesome Studio.
Out today on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S
and Nintendo Switch, the award-winning AK-xolotl combines two
popular genres, offering the freedom of procedurally generated
biomes and the care and quality experience of hand-crafted
layouts.
Playing as an immortal axolotl, gamers shoot their way to
securing food and resources, before returning to their home to
customise their base, cook meals and unlock new areas. Players can
also raise baby axolotls, which become playable characters.
Declared 'unmissable' by Forbes.com, AK-xolotl won
eSports.com/eFernsehen 'Best Indie Game' at last month's coveted
Gamescom awards and was runner-up in the 'Most Entertaining'
category.
Harvey Elliott, Chief Executive Officer, Playstack,
commented:
" AK-xolotl is an award-winning and refreshing take on the
shoot-em-up genre, combining the
traditional fun of roguelikes with the mass appeal of cute
mascots. 2Awesome Studio have done an
amazing job opening up the roguelike genre, welcoming a new
generation of fans from all backgrounds to engage with the
high-energy game mechanics, quality artwork and tongue-in-cheek
humour."
David Jiminez, Creative Director and Co-Founder, 2Awesome
Studio, said:
"After two years in development, we are delighted to finally put
AK-xolotl into players' hands. Since first announcing the game back
in 2021 we have amassed a magnificent fanbase which has supported
us on every step of the journey. We can't wait for everyone else to
try AK-xolotl today and get to experience our creation
first-hand!"
Following today's launch, Playstack expects to extend its roster
of compelling and engaging PC and console titles further, with
gothic metroidvania thriller The Last Faith launching in Q4, and
two further titles due out in Q1 2024.
