"Man, it’s been a long journey but we’re pumped to be finally sharing Double Kick Heroes with you all" David Elahee - Headbang Club. "We hope that you love our game as much as we do and enjoy the kick-ass soundtrack we’ve put together to celebrate all things metal. We can’t wait for people to try out air controls for Nintendo Switch which is a heap load of metallic fun, but please drum responsibly". As well as leaving Early Access, Double Kick Heroes will launch on Nintendo Switch on August 13th, followed by a simultaneous release on Game Pass for Xbox One and PC and the Xbox and Microsoft Store on August 28th!!! https://youtu.be/rcynIN9i3cw If you've not been following our road through Early Access, here are some features you can expect on August 13th:

• A full story mode that’s accompanied by 50 kerranging songs, including the OST Volume 2 Update, by top artists such as Ultra Vomit, Volkorx, Gorod, Jinjer, Carpenter Brut and Gojira!
• Unique Rhythm shooter mashup with incredibly detailed pixel art
• 5 difficulty settings to test even the most metal of metal head’s skills
• Tons of accessibility options
• USB drum and guitar support on PC (and Xbox One)

In addition to this, we have some Nintendo Switch Joy Con Alternative Motion Control Methods prepared for launch including:

• Air drumming - Joy Con used as drumsticks, keeping in rhythm of game
• Air beat - Can't drum? No Problem! Stomp to the beat with your Joy Con
• Want the all out motion controlled experience and really put that double kick pedal to the metal? Then it's time to use two sets of Joy Con, one in your socks and one in your hands and drum and stomp your way through the apocalypse!

We can't wait for you to get your hands on Double Kick Heroes and want to thank everyone for joining us on this journey. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter for more news and announcements in the build-up to launch. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33190580/a7cca7e89a4b10f4c69af4f6e250dd578ebdeba6.png

Reminder: Release Date Update + New Price

With all the news coming out of Gamescom, we wanted to take a moment to remind you all of our plans for release and new pricing for Early Access. As we continue to add more and more to the game, we feel it’s now the right time to increase the price from $10.99 to $12.99. In addition to the pricing update, we also announced, in our last update, that our planned full, and final, release for HyperParasite will now be Q1 2020. You can read more about both of these important milestones in our previous update here Wishlist now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/838110/HyperParasite/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32747280/17531bc104659dbb815b96d81c98f16636eac4e8.gif

Release Date Update + New Price

Since we released HyperParasite on Steam Early Access, the game has received weekly updates including two complete brand new acts, developer and community gameplay streams, a shit ton of new characters, levels, mini-bosses, BIG bosses, gameplay mechanics and quality of life features. As we continue to add more and more to the game, we feel it’s now the right time to increase the price from $10.99 to $12.99. Boss Parasite Saverio released the following statement to the video game press earlier today; “With the implementation of Act 4, we feel it’s the right time to increase the price from $10.99 to $12.99, which we feel still offers incredible value for money. If you’re at Gamescom, we’d love to show you how far our game has come along in development since our initial Early Access release!” In addition to the pricing update, we’re also announcing that our planned full, and final, release for HyperParasite will now be Q1 2020. This gives our team the time required to complete not just the Steam build, but the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch build too. We’ll continue to keep you updated here via the Steam store page and here on Twitter.

Not because we’re sitting around twiddling our tentacles. We’ve been busy not just with a BIG update (coming soon), but you may notice we’ve also overhauled the entire Steam store page. Our host body was beginning to look a little tired and ragged around the edges. As well as new capsule art and GIFs, we’ve updated the store text. There should be no missing the point now.

HyperParasite infects Nintendo Switch!

Did you see HyperParasite running on Switch? If you missed it, here's a link to the discussion on Reddit (we got a great reception!) and a couple of snippets below for you! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32747280/59d00928e8eb542534487a10827f48952f624d12.gif You want to see coop? OK then... https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32747280/6fccf0e81a329076230dbc4f5f74c8880f5adb51.gif https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32747280/0ed2ccefdae60f979600cdf6a09760ccc6352533.gif

COMMUNITY NEWS

Are you following us on social media? If not, don’t forget you can find the HyperParasite invading host bodies on…

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Instagram
• YouTube

We’ve also continued to build ties with the community, creating ever nourishing parasite content for you all to sink your greasy tentacles in to. Whether it’s reaching out to the neon coloured synthwave people over on Reddit or simply showing you the true extent of all our powers on IMGUR, we continue to grow and infest the online space at a, some might say, alarming rate of infection. Make sure you get this looked at over on Discord and become a part of the outbreak on the ground floor. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32747280/58a4206ee0ccf29bb83534bdd7c6ff01a36edb3e.jpg

Us neither. Our Parasite is still atop of the food chain when it comes to consuming hosts and world annihilation. Enough of the chest pumping and muscle flexing (we'd still win mind you!), let's get down to business with this week's Early Access update.

The Beta Branch

This week we have opened up the Beta branch to the public and everyone is welcome to join! You can find instructions here on Steam or on Discord. We’ll be implementing new features in the Beta branch before rolling them out to the main Early Access build. You can expect these almost daily! Please be aware that this build will contain bugs and problems, but you can revert anytime to the regular branch. Of course, any bugs or issues you do encounter, we'd love to know about them here on Steam or in Discord. Coming soon on the Beta branch: - New Mad Scientist MiniBoss mechanics (incomplete) - First implementation of the brand new Body Storage mechanic (Thanks to Darkness for the suggestion) - You can now place and leave a host body in a capsule in the shop - You can get that host body back anytime, both in current level and also in subsequent levels/acts. Let us know what you think of the new host body mechanic: does it help with the problem some users pointed out (no host bodies to possess in new Acts)?
