Sabotage Studio wears its love for the games of yesteryear proudly on its sleeve.

Sabotage unveiled via the company’s official Twitter account that it plans to reveal this new game next month on March 19. This date happens to coincide

Today, Sabotage Studios launched a new update for its critically acclaimed platformer, The Messenger, which adds a New Game+ mode as well as a number of quality of life improvements. Aptly titled Messenger+ update, the standout feature being implemented is the New Game+ mode. Like many before it, The Messenger‘s New Game+ mode allows players
We are just a few weeks away from PAX West, which takes place in Seattle from August 31 to September 3, and several developers are gearing up for it. tinyBuild Games recently confirmed that they would be holding a press conference there, and now it seems like popular indie game publisher Devolver Digital has some
E3 2018 has come and gone and hosted many great games: however, some smaller indie titles might have been overshadowed by some of the bigger budget games seen on stage.

We’ve been raving about The Messenger for quite some time here at DualShockers after seeing the upcoming indie platformer this year at both PAX East and E3.
