LOS ANGELES, CA—October 22, 2024—Players everywhere can now grab Lynked: Banner of the Spark^™, the action-packed debut from developer FuzzyBot and the first game published by Dreamhaven^™. Available via Steam Early Access, Lynked is a unique co-op roguelite with kinetic combat and deep gameplay systems that empower players to customize their experience and expand their arsenal. In celebration of the Early Access launch, the game will be available for 10% off the normal retail price of $24.99 until October 29.

Check out the Lynked: Banner of the Spark Early Access Launch trailer.

It’s the year 30XX, and the world has been overrun by the dominating Combot forces. To fight back, players must rescue sympathetic robot allies—the Unibots—who will populate their town and help them craft special armaments to enhance their power and survivability. In true roguelite fashion, the challenges will steadily increase with each mission into Combot territory, but players will be able to take breaks from the action to personalize their town, form relationships with their new robot friends, and gather the resources they need to fuel their revolution.

“When we started FuzzyBot in 2020, we were nervous but also thrilled to create something of our own,” said Max Spielberg, FuzzyBot cofounder and game director. “We wanted to build something filled with optimism and joy, and we hope Lynked is able to carry that message forward. We hope players enjoy what we built here; it’s a big game with a whole lot of heart.”

“The FuzzyBot team is a talented, creative bunch with a ton of experience, and that shows through completely in Lynked,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Dreamhaven. “They’ve created something filled with personality and surprises, and they’re very in tune with what players are looking for. We’re proud to be working with them and excited for everyone to get their hands on the game.”

Early Access Features and Perks

The Early Access release of Lynked: Banner of the Spark features 24 campaign missions—the first four chapters of the game—along with repeatable side missions and a ton of gear, upgrades, special abilities, town-customization options, and more. Players who purchase Lynked and reach the town after completing the tutorial, anytime during the Early Access period, will receive a special set of thank-you rewards—the Lobster Claw livery, Dragon Goodbot, and Buddy Bean Bag Chair—to deck out their characters and spruce up their towns.

In addition, from now through November 5, players can unlock even more in-game cosmetics through Twitch Drops. All they have to do is link their Twitch and Steam accounts and watch their favorite streamers play the game live.

Key features of Lynked: Banner of the Spark include:

• Enjoy High-Energy Hack-and-Slash Action: Fight through fast-paced missions against the Combot threat. Get the edge on enemies with mid-run power upgrades, or discover a new weapon to swap in. As they make progress, players will unlock a deep arsenal of gear and abilities to suit their playstyle.
• Turn the World Into a Weapon: Use the handy grappling claw, the Wyre, to execute flashy combos, hurl environmental objects, and throw enemies into deadly traps.
• Build, Gather, and Craft: Expand the town by completing runs and enlisting the help of robot allies. In-town systems such as gathering, fishing, and farming provide resources to upgrade weapons, spark powers, and more.
• Play Solo or Join Forces With Friends: Go on combat missions in teams of up to three players. Each player can take a specialized fighting role to complement the team and succeed in challenging boss battles. Back on the homefront, up to five players can help the host player tend to their town.

Assets are in the press kit.

Lynked: Banner of the Spark is available in English, French, German, Italian, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. For more information on the game, visit the official website and join the Discord community.
