Discord Reveals Their Timed-Exclusive Indie Titles

Last month, chat app Discord announced their intentions to create a game store through their program. Alongside the store announcement, Discord mentioned that they would be instituting a programmed First on Discord, which provides development support to indie games in exchange for a PC exclusivity period typically around 90 days to the Discord store.

Today, Discord revealed the launch lineup of the First on Discord program.

•    Last Year: The Nightmare (Elastic Games)
•    Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption (Another Indie)
•    Minion Masters (BetaDwarf)
•    Bad North (Raw Fury)
•    At Sundown (Versus Evil/Mild Beast)
•    Mad Machines (Hero Blocks)
•    King of the Hat (Hyroglyphik Games)

These games will launch first on Discord's store on the PC. Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption was one of the indie games we most liked at GDC this past March. King of the Hat was also featured in the latest Nintendo Indie Direct. Discord says that they plan to launch the First on Discord program with these seven games in the Fall.

However, Wolfenstein is more than just a stepping stone. Over the years the pulpy WW2 has changed several developers’ hands, constantly transmuting and bouncing all over the place tone-wise, but has never lost its identity, even when both Medal of Honor and Call of Duty arrived, choosing to wallow about in arcadey violence instead of following the more realistic and procedural design of more modern WWII titles for two decades. With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus out in a few weeks’ time, we thought it pertinent

Just Cause, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, And More Now Backward Compatible On Xbox One

Today, Major Nelson  announced via Twitter, that a bevy of new games are now available on Xbox One via the system’s backward compatibility. Fans of open-world action games or the Just Cause series will be happy to know that they can now play the game that started it all, on their Xbox One. And fans of the Castlevania series’ most recent venture into 3D will also be thrilled to know they can reprise their role as Gabriel Belmont with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 all making their debut on the backward compatible catalog.

You can also pop in a Xbox 360 disc to download the games manually, or just buy new digi
