(Phoenix, AZ – July 11, 2019) – E-Line Media is excited to introduce the voice actors for The Endless Mission, a sandbox style creation game where a rich narrative leads players through a world unlike any other. Having previously made their mark on iconic franchises like Mass Effect, Halo, Dragon Age, Assassin’s Creed, Diablo, and Fallout, the talents of Laura Bailey, Jennifer Hale, Alix Wilton Regan, Sara Amini, and Courtenay Taylor will all now be setting off on The Endless Mission later this year.
Get your first taste of The Endless Mission’s story and talented VO team:
The Endless Mission invites you to become a part of The Academy, an organization dedicated to helping the world use the technology that is around them – instead of being used by it. Explore a digital world where you have the power to fundamentally alter the framework around you, reshaping and creating as you see fit. This all happens while a colorful cast of characters stand by your side as you begin to pull back the curtain on a story that draws you behind the scenes of some of video gaming’s most iconic genres. From crafting your own spells and changing enemy behavior, to completely reshaping the surrounding landscape, The Endless Mission empowers players to rethink how games are built.
Set to arrive on Steam Early Access this summer, The Endless Mission offers up something for everyone. Want to get lost in a deep story that takes you behind the scenes of your favorite game genres? No problem. Want to begin making your own games for the world to play using The Endless Mission’s powerful creation tools? We’ve got you covered.

Godhood available now on Steam Early Access
Strategy god game from acclaimed Dutch studio Abbey Games, allowing players to create and manage their own religion, out now on Steam and GOG
Utrecht, the Netherlands – July 10th, 2019 – Godhood, the new strategy god game from the acclaimed Dutch studio behind Reus and Renowned Explorers has launched into Early Access on Steam and GOG (Windows/Mac/Linux). To celebrate the launch, Abbey Games has also released a new trailer, showing that as a newfound god with great power comes great responsibility.
Godhood is set in a lush isometric world and allows players to create their own customized religion. As a newfound deity, players can choose holy commandments, decree what is a virtue or a vice, construct holy sites, perform miracles, and defeat rival deities and their believers in ritual combat.
Prospective gods in Godhood can take any form or shape as they wish, but will soon learn that followers come with an inconvenient free will and that control over their worshippers isn’t guaranteed. In this challenging strategy management title, the number of followers equals power, and as rival gods will attempt to convert your flock, holding on to your worshippers is vital. Acting as gods, players will send their most trusted disciples, strengthened by rituals, to battle their opponents in turn-based combat known as Sacraments.
“The time has come to finally set Godhood free in the wild,” said Rick Sorgdrager of Abbey Games. “And we couldn’t be happier to launch our new game into Early Access today. We’ve worked hard to get to this point: from the initial sketches and prototypes, to our Kickstarter and our closed Alpha. It’s been a long road, one we couldn’t have walked alone without the help from our dedicated community. This is only the start; expect much more exciting new content, new features, and new gods in the coming weeks and months!”
The Early Access launch of Godhood features four religious dogmas to mix and match, 13 unique classes of disciples, a large variety of abilities and relics, dozens of missions, and over 20 buildings to construct and customize. Abbey Games is committed to develop Godhood with the active support of the community and players while in Early Access, and expects to make frequent updates to their new game, including new content such as gods, beliefs and holy temples, as well as refining and enhancing the core gameplay experience.
The Early Access release comes on the heels of Abbey Games’ highly successful Kickstarter campaign, which allowed the independent team to provide even more gameplay depth to Godhood.
Additional details about the game can be found on the Steam store page and the community HUB or by checking out the Discord and Twitter.

AHOY Comics Previews SECOND COMING Comic Book, Announces Third Wave of Comic Book Magazines and San Diego Comic Con International Panels
AHOY Comics Previews SECOND COMING Comic Book, Announces Third Wave of Comic Book Magazines and San Diego Comic Con International Panels
Wave Three Features:
More Edgar Allan Poe Parodies!
More Adventures of Dragonfly and Dragonflyman!
More Intergalactic Cat (and Dog) Adventures
#ExpectMore
(July 9, 2019) AHOY Comics—the start-up publisher that pledged for readers to “expect more” from its line of comic book magazines and graphic novels—is announcing its third wave of titles, featuring more literary parodies of Edgar Allan Poe, the return of a fan favorite superhero satire, and the latest installment of an intergalactic space epic featuring cats and dogs. The announcement was made ahead of AHOY’s highly anticipated July 10th publication of the controversial, satirical SECOND COMING comic book series by New York Times bestselling writer Mark Russell and acclaimed artists Richard Pace and Leonard Kirk, featuring covers by Amanada Conner. Ahead of the release of the series’ debut issue, the publisher is releasing preview pages from the highly anticipated series.
AHOY Comics’ third wave of titles include:
-
EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR Season Two
By Various, featuring covers by Richard Williams
Debuting in October, 2019.
Once upon a midnight dreary, AHOY Comics assembled acclaimed comic book creators to mangle Edgar Allan Poe’s classic gothic tales and create brand new stories in the tradition of Tales from the Crypt and Drunk History. Just in time for Halloween, EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR Season Two kicks off with writer/artist Dean Motter and inker Alex Ogle’s ultimate Poe mash-up —“The Tell-Tale Black Cask of Usher”—in which the drink-addled writer falls prey to his own horrific imagination. Upcoming issues will include a new spooky, sugary cereal story by Mark Russell and artist Peter Snejbjerg as well as stories by Alisa Kwitney, Paul Constant, Carol Lay, Linda Medley, and Greg Scott. Each and every issue of EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR features Hunt Emerson’s slapstick “Poe and the Black Cat” backup story as well as a cover by legendary Mad Magazine artist Richard Williams.
AHOY will publish the EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR Volume One trade paperback in comic shops on October 2nd and in bookstores on October 15th. EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR Season Two debuts on October 9th.
“SNIFTER OF TERROR is the EC Comics-meets-Mad Magazine book you’ll want to read.”—PC MAG
“What do you get when you mix Edgar Allan Poe, syphilis, breakfast cereal, and a barnacle? Sounds like a joke with a terrible punchline, but in this case, the result is splendid. EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR provides the world with all of that and so much more.”—FANBASE PRESS
-
DRAGONFLY & DRAGONFLYMAN
By writer Tom Peyer, artist Peter Krause, and colorist Andy Troy
Debuting in November, 2019.
Springing from the pages of the breakout hit THE WRONG EARTH by writer Tom Peyer and artists Jamal Igle and Juan Castro, comes DRAGONFLY & DRAGONFLYMAN by Peyer, artist Peter Krause and colorist Andy Troy. This stand-alone prequel to THE WRONG EARTH features the adventures of everyone’s favorite new superheroes—when they were on the right earths. On Earth-Alpha, the cheery caped campaigner Dragonflyman must foil the diabolical schemes of the criminal Devil-Man. Meanwhile, on Earth-Omega, gritty vigilante The Dragonfly battles the dangerous psychopath known as the Devil-Man. Will our heroes be tempted into wrongdoing by their respective versions of their dastardly foe? Tune in this November!
Praise for THE WRONG EARTH:
“Contains more entertainment than most contemporary comics and serves to remind readers of what they were always intended to be: fun.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“Wildly entertaining”—13TH DIMENSION
-
CAPTAIN GINGER Season Two
By writer Stuart Moore, artists June Brigman and Roy Richardson, and colorist Veronica Gandini
Debuting in January, 2020.
Cats running a starship? At AHOY, that’s only the beginning! In CAPTAIN GINGER Season Two, Ginger and his crew must decide whether to make contact with the other survivors of Earth—unaware that they’re all scampering into a deadly cosmic trap. Writer Stuart Moore, legendary POWER PACK comic book artist June Brigman, Roy Richardson and colorist Veronica Gandini reunite for CAPTAIN GINGER Season Two, in which cats come face-to-face with the creatures formerly known as man’s best friend. Meow meow RUFF RUFF!
“A crazy fun concept.” ―GRAPHIC POLICY
“This is a book that fans of science fiction will enjoy, but which cat-lovers will adore. With its plethora of adorable kittens and interesting cat characters, alongside a strong story and incredible world-building, CAPTAIN GINGER is a treat to read.”—WOMEN WRITE ABOUT COMICS
AHOY Comics is led by Publisher Hart Seely, an award-winning reporter whose humor and satire has appeared in The New York Times and on National Public Radio; editor-in-chief Tom Peyer, a veteran of DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint; Stuart Moore, who handles something called “Ops”; and Chief Creative Officer Frank Cammuso. The company is currently hosting a STEEL CAGE competition, which allows fans to vote for their favorite “pilot” story featured in the STEEL CAGE one-shot anthology. The outcome of the fan voting will determine what comic book series is published. Voting is live now at the AHOY Comics website: https://comicsahoy.com/vote. The voting period ends the Friday before San Diego Comic Con International and the winner will be officially announced during San Diego Comic Con International, where AHOY Comics will host two panels:
Thursday, 7/18/19
6:00p.m. – 7:00p.m., AHOY COMICS Conversation with Mark Russell, From his radical revamp of The Flintstones to the acclaimed Snagglepuss to his own controversial SECOND COMING, Mark Russell brings a unique blend of wit and intelligence to every project he tackles. AHOY Comics’ Stuart Moore hosts a one-on-one conversation about this important voice in the comics field and SECOND COMING. Room: 32AB
Friday, 7/19/19
5:30p.m. – 6:30p.m., AHOY Comics: Expect More, AHOY Comics has burst on the scene with acclaimed creators, smart satires, and a commitment to publishing fun and eclectic storytelling. Join writers Mark Russell, Mark Waid, Tyrone Finch, Mariah McCourt, and Stuart Moore for this can’t-miss panel discussion. Why did AHOY Comics decided to publish SECOND COMING, the controversial comic in which Jesus Christ resumes His Holy Mission? Which comic will emerge victorious from the STEEL CAGE competition? Will AHOY publish more time travel comics like BRONZE AGE BOOGIE and PLANET OF THE NERDS in the future? Do you have to be 21 years or older to read EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR? The answers will astound you! Room: 24ABC
“The third wave of AHOY Comic Magazines sees the return of some fan favorite faces,” said Hart Seely. “And what’s exciting to me, as both a reader and the Publisher, is that each of these stories takes these characters to unexpected places. What happens when cats meet dogs in the far reaches of outer space? Is there something evil about being a superhero? Readers who wanted more of these stories can dive right in, but they also work as stand alone stories that provide a jumping-on point for readers who have only recently discovered AHOY.”
