Snail, Inc. Launches Survivor Mercs with Twitch Integration in Early Access Today

CULVER CITY, Calif., Sept. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) (“Snail”), a leading, global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, has launched Survivor Mercs, an early access game on Steam with an innovative Twitch Integration through its indie publishing sub-label Wandering Wizard.

Survivor Mercs, is a roguelite military styled action game that blends the Bullet Heaven and extraction shooter genre for a challenging single-player experience enhanced by a first of its kind social element through its Twitch Integration. The motivation behind Survivor Merc’s Twitch Integration was to revolutionize social interaction in single-player games within the genre and style of the game, creating a more engaging experience for streamers and players.

With the Twitch Integration, streamers are empowered to connect with their audience. They can now invite their fan base to actively participate by voting on upgrades, selecting mercenaries, and even making cameo appearances as in-game adversaries.

This forward-thinking development not only enhances gameplay but also opens up a world of opportunities for streamers and gamers to connect.

Jim Tsai, Chief Executive Officer of Snail, commented: “With the growth of streaming platforms we are looking forward to additional innovations involving community and live gaming. We hope with this small step we can be a leader in streamer friendly games that pushes the boundaries of what is possible for audience participation. Snail Games continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the gaming industry by providing a new perspective to the Bullet Heaven genre of gaming via the streaming service development.”
