Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX
Merge Reveals Three Games During 'Not E3' Online Festivities
Posted June 25, 2020
The past few weeks have been an absolute onslaught of amazing publishers, creators, and developers showing off their even more amazing games during what has affectionately come to be called 'Not E3'. We've had show after show highlighting what's to come in the weeks, months, and year ahead and Merge Games happily took part revealing three games from their already deep lineup of titles. From the nostalgic smack of the return of Alex Kidd to the Lovecraftian darkness of Morbid: The Seven Acolytes and the comic book slash cyberpunk stylings of Foreclosed, they had a little something for everyone.
As the news came fast and furious over this stretch, I wanted to publish a tight ICYMI blast so everyone can see what Merge will be serving up and add the games to their watch list if they're interested in staying on top of any of them. See below for a quick summary and video of each game! -- Shawn // Evolve PR
ALEX KIDD IN MIRACLE WORLD DX
Since its initial release on the Master System in 1986, the Sega platforming classic Alex Kidd in Miracle World returns over three decades later in the form of Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX! Alex Kidd is catapulted into a new generation with striking art, improved boss fight systems and different modes! Extra levels will also be included, expanding the lore of the original title to bring a fresh dimension to Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

FORECLOSED
Merge Games and Antab Studio are thrilled to deliver their stunning futuristic action shooter, Foreclosed. Taking inspiration from titles such as the Deux Ex and Max Payne series, and Frank Miller’s graphic novel, Hard Boiled, Foreclosed is a striking display of narrative-driven action where the player takes control of brain implant abilities, hi-tech weaponry, and a diverse skill tree system all encompassed alongside a striking cyberpunk-graphic novel aesthetic.

MORBID: THE SEVEN ACOLYTES
Merge Games, in collaboration with indie developer Still Running, unveil the most gruesome take yet on the isometric soulslike genre with Morbid: The Seven Acolytes. Challenging foes, mini-bosses, and memorable large-scale boss fights with fully orchestrated music are some of the ferocious encounters that will have players testing their mettle in Morbid.
