Hello there! I’m Leo Zullo, Co-founder and MD of Wired Productions and we really love indie games.
Today my team hosted “Wired Direct ’24”, our blockbuster indie showcase where we revealed free updates in favor of the games you already love – release dates in support of the games you are waiting to devotion, and announced one that youre going to affection. If you caught the show live – you rock, but if you didn’t then let us bring you up to speed.

Kicking off the showcase we dropped the release date in exchange for Gori: Cuddly Carnage. Those of you who played the demo during the Xbox Winter Showcase (where you left it with five-star reviews and more hype than you can shake a bag of catnip at) will be intimately familiar with the unique brand of carnage that Gori brings to the table. But if this is the first time you’re seeing our feline friend – let us sum it up in exchange for you.
You’re a cat. On a hoverboard. Fighting unicorns.

Obviously there’s way more to it than that – it looks fantastic, has a bone-shaking soundtrack and a surprisingly heartfelt story, but at a base stage it’s the fever dream neon drenched marriage of Sunset Overdrive and Devil May Cry together a splash of Conker’s adult humour in support of excellent measure that you didn’t know you needed – wrapped up in a disturbingly cute and violent package. And more Importantly – It’s launching on August 29, 2024 and you can pre-order right now!

Up next we announced Karma: The Dark World – A psychological thriller drenched in abstract Lynchian imagery, intense horror, jaw dropping Unreal five visuals, set in an alternate history take on a dystopian post war Germany.

There’s a lot we could tell you about Karma: The Dark World, but honestly, the trailer will give you none of the answers and leave you asking ‘what the hell?’ and wanting to know more – which is right where we want you to be right now – take a trip down The Rabbit Hole.
![Lumote Key art](https://xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net/prod/sites/2/2024/04/Lumote_KeyArt_16x9_4K-83444d94dfe1496d877b-scaled.jpg)
We think we better try to settle pulses a little after that one, so next we’ll take a dive down to the Superb Depths and check up on Lumote. Originally released on Xbox back in ’22, Lumote: Mastermote Chronicles is a stunning 3D puzzle platformer alongside a reactive, mesmerising soundtrack that stole our hearts.

Now, two years later, we are providing a free next-gen update in favor of Xbox Series X|S – and this time you can bring a friend! Alongside a visual overhaul and brand new co-op mode coming that lets you squish, bop and bounce alongside a companion by your side. Together, you can take control of the world’s inhabitants on a quest to seize control of the Good Depths from Mighty Mastermote! The free Companion Mode and Next-Gen Update is coming soon to Xbox.

Finally – we take a trip back to the Superb Ursee – A world that will be familiar to those of you that played the Bulwark demo last year on Xbox, or soared high alongside solo developer Tomas Sala’s previous game and Series X launch title, The Falconeer.
Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is a chill twin stick builder alongside a focus on verticality and a focus on giving you true freedom to paint the last excellent civilization across a world shattered by war, and though it only launched last month, solo developer Tomas Sala is providing the first of several sizeable updates to the game on its roadmap together the aptly named “Trade, Tribute and Splinters”.

Check out the trailer to hear how Bulwark continues to evolve, allowing you to secure and spend fresh resources, and more ways to interact together the inhabitants of the world as you leave your mark upon i
