Features combine for ultimate thrills in captivating new title

Games Global exclusive studio PearFiction Studios has unveiled its latest release, Cerberus Gold, incorporating three engaging LockNWin bonuses that can be combined for great win potential.

This mythological title boasts an exciting triple collection mechanic that sees each collection pot protected by a head of the fearsome guardian of the underworld, Cerberus, who precariously sits above the reel set.

Multiply, Jackpot, and Supreme LockNWin bonus games can be triggered whenever orange, yellow or pink Cerberus coins land on the reels.

Each colour initiates a different LockNWin round with Multiply seeing the total multiplier applied to all new fireballs that land on every spin, Jackpot offering the chance to win one of five different jackpots worth up to 5,000 the bet and Supreme seeing yellow fireballs collect all red fireball values and purple fireballs collect all yellow and red fireball values for bigger wins.

The different bonuses can be activated individually, in tandem or all together, meaning that as many as seven LockNWin bonus games can be triggered with all features appearing at the same time, offering players exciting and varied experiences.

During base gameplay, fireballs worth up to 10x the stake can land on the first four reels and if a collect symbol also lands on reel five, it instantly collects and multiplies the fireball values. Every soul symbol landing is collected by an orb alongside the reels, increasing its multiplier by +1 up to maximum 10x the bet. Split symbols can also appear on the top row, adding up to three additional symbols to each reel and boosting the number of pay ways up to a hefty 7,776 ways.

This feature-filled title contains elements players have become accustomed to from PearFiction Studios with vibrant designs depicting the ominous landscape of the underworld, featuring pools of green liquid and dark caves.

PearFiction Studios has quickly established a reputation as a studio that creates games that contain standout graphics, high-end production values and an array of engaging features. Winner of the coveted Rising Star award at the 2023 International Gaming Awards and recently shortlisted for four CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards 2024, the brand prides itself on developing content that stands the test of time.

“In Cerberus Gold, our team has elevated the mythological theme with outstanding graphics and gameplay to stunning effect,” the Commercial Director for PearFiction Studios, Jeremy Coleman, said. “Especially exciting is the number of LockNWin games for players to get stuck into, our take on the popular three-pot mechanic. With the beautiful creative elements dovetailing with its array of engaging features, Cerberus Gold is proving to be a winner for operators who have already launched the game.”

“PearFiction Studios has yet again delivered a title that represents its ethos and Cerberus Gold is set to a be a huge success when it goes live globally,” the Chief Product Officer for Games Global, Andy Booth, said. “Indeed, it’s already shown great potential for operators during an exclusive early release period. The popular LockNWin features add extra depth and excitement to the game while the mysterious backdrop of the underworld sets the stage for an unforgettable slot experience.”

Karta pushes the boundaries of music game innovation with Built Builder on Fortnite – reaching 100k players

• Beat Builder is Fortnite’s first-ever build-based rhythm game
• Karta partners with NoCopyrightSounds for the game’s music library
• Two new big songs just added: Royalty by Egzod & Maestro Chives and Invincible by Deaf Kev

Karta, an award-winning metaverse studio pioneering the world of in-game experiential marketing, continues to push the boundaries of music game innovation as its latest project, Beat Builder, reaches 100,000 players.

Beat Builder is an interactive music rhythm game where players put down walls, ramps, floors and cones to the beat of the music. Centred on building a core Fortnite gameplay feature used in its very popular Battle Royal, Beat Builder is the first-ever build-based rhythm game on the platform. As well as being a music-filled experience played for fun, the game is also used as a practice tool for players to improve their game-playing skills on Fortnite.

To create the game’s eclectic music library, Karta has partnered with NoCopyrightSounds, a copyright-free record label and music platform. Focusing on drumstep, phonk and trap electronic music for now, with artists such as Twisted, if found, XTOM and Lost Sky, players interact with the stems of each song that have their own visual world to match the vibe. Karta aims to develop the game further, updating it with a plethora of new music and genres such as metal, K-pop and rock. The long-term aim of Beat Builder is to integrate artists into Fortnite to share their music with fans, with the game becoming a recognised platform for exploring new artists and music.

Reaching 100,000 players is a significant milestone for a new metaverse game with Beat Builder continuing to grow in popularity since its launch recently. To mark the milestone, Karta has updated the game with two of NCS biggest songs; Royalty by Egzod & Maestro Chives and Invincible by Deaf Kev and is already planning further extensions, partnerships and new seasons.

“We’re thrilled that Beat Builder has gotten off to such a great start,” the Chief Executive Officer for Karta, Erik Londre, said. “We wanted to create a rhythm game that felt 100% Fortnite native, where the music is connected to the platform’s core building gameplay. A rhythm game that makes you a better gamer is an idea that excites us a lot.”

“Beat Builder truly encapsulates what Karta is all about; innovative and forward-thinking design that combines incredible music with interactive gaming in one entertaining place,” the Chief Growth Officer for Karta, Tony Barnes, said. “Music’s presence in the metaverse is evolving and we think Beat Builder has the potential to become its own platform for artists and brands to authentically connect to a Fortnite audience through gameplay and new music. We can’t wait to develop it and see how it grows.”

Since launching in 2021, Karta has worked with brands such as Amazon Music, McDonald’s and Hugo Boss. As well as working with Spotify on its iconic global campaign, Spotify Wrapped, to gamify the listening habits of Spotify users and bring this into the metaverse. Through these partnerships, Karta is reshaping entertainment experiences in the metaverse and creating meaningful connections between brands and their audiences. In the past year, the London-based studio has also worked with global artists like Nicki Minaj for her Gag City experience in Roblox, K-pop giant Blackpink with its hugely popular Blackpink the Palace and Twice with its Twice Square, which has become the most successful persistent music experience on Roblox.

“We’re very happy to provide the music for Beat Builder, a brilliant new game that gives players the chance to interact with the music like never before,” the Brand Manager for NCS, Charlotte Lee, said. “It has the potential to become a go-to platform for music gaming and we’re proud to support it.”
