As many have once again discovered, console launches often bring launch games that don’t quite measure up to the titles that will be available at the end of the console cycle. I mean look at the classics that have released just this year: The Last of Us, GTAV, Beyond: Two Souls… innovative and beautiful, these big-budget games milk every last drop of power from the last gen systems.

Maverick PR Partner Matt Frary Prepares to Fight for the Web Site Redesign
Every six-to-eight months, we find ourselves, like Sisyphus, devolving into an endless cycle here at Maverick PR. It’s a process, if you want to call it that, but a process that rarely produces a result or a conclusion. It’s like a semi-annual bloodsport during which the partners brainstorm and argue; we criticize, degrade and humiliate one another; we snipe like teenagers and fight voraciously; and we lay out passive aggressive statements so heavy with negative subtext that it would make grown men weep.

We here at Maverick PR have worked with all kinds of developers and publishers, from some of the largest global video game companies like Vivendi, Square Enix and Ubisoft, right on down to smaller, independent developers like the amazing folks at Kiz Studios and Dark Vale Games. It is exactly this variety and the breadth of experience that comes with working on both blockbusters and unknown IP, that makes us who we are. And we love it.
In an interview last year, we very publicly stated that we were looking to do more work and create more partnerships with independent developers, to try and elevate the groundbreaking work and innovative designs that sometimes got lost in the shuffle of AAA blockbuster releases and multi-million dollar PR budgets. We think that some of the most exciting, engaging and creative titles of the coming generation — as well as some of the most explosive growth in our industry– will explode from the independent development over the next five-to-ten years.
We’re excited to be on the forefront of this trend, and we are genuinely excited to announce that we are continuing to expand our work with independent developers by partnering with Bloober Team and their awesome upcoming PS4 launch title, Basement Crawl. Basement Crawl is a very creepy, very interesting game that combines elements of Bomberman and Spy vs Spy and drops it right into the PS4 download ecosystem with macabre art and settings and multiplayer action.
When gamers get their new consoles, they will quickly realize that Basement Crawl is a unique experience to PS4 and is the first must-have download for the new system.
We’ll be telling you a lot more about this game in the coming weeks, so stay tuned and keep an eye out!
Later this week – October 17th – THE SETTLERS ONLINE: CASTLE EMPIRE players will receive a fresh set of Halloween content including new server-wide challenges, an exclusive new building, a new buff, and a huge boss fight. Read more
