Alan-1 Announces Release of Avian Knights on Consoles
Alan-1 is releasing their flagship title, Avian Knights, on all major consoles on August 22, 2024.
Fans of 1980s classic arcade games will find the gameplay of Avian Knights familiar, yet modern and more interesting. Players navigate knight avatars riding flying birds using various weapon types and bird powers. The game provides fourteen different weapon types, and four bird species with various bird powers–such as fire breath, poison gas, thunder breath, and laser eyes to choose from. Each of these interesting game choices make the game engaging and fun! Clear all 256 waves and earn the world’s top-high score!
Avian Knights console edition also features an exclusive 2-8 multiplayer arena mode that allows players to compete with other local players in various game modes. These variations include Last Player Standing, Last Team Standing, Deathmatch, Jailbreak, and more. It’s the perfect setup for multiplayer parties and family gatherings. Avian Knights is easy to learn yet difficult to master, ensuring that everyone enjoys the fun.
Embedded in both the Avian Knights arcade and console versions is the Major League eSports™ (MLeS) platform. The MLeS platform hosts daily, monthly, and special-event, high-score tournaments with cross-platform leaderboards. It also uses a league point system to track player’s rankings–a first in the video game arcade industry. Players who compete in MLeS tournaments earn league points based on their performance. The more league points they earn—-the higher the player is ranked. The Major League eSports league is free to join. Players can create accounts when playing any MLeS-enabled game–such as Avian Knights–or via the MLeS app. Major League eSports players can track their league standings on the iOS and Android Major League eSports App or at mles.com.
Major League eSports™ hosts an annual live tournament event for the top eight (8) players at the end of each league season. League seasons start January 1st and end December 31 of every year. The first MLeS World Championship Tournament was held at Flynn’s Retrocade in Roy, Utah, in January 2024. Players gathered to compete on Avian Knights arcade cabinets. The tournament was streamed live on Twitch. $17,000 in cash prizes were awarded to the top three winning players. All contestants received custom trading cards with their name and likeness, and many other prizes and gifts. The next annual Major League eSports World Championship Tournament is scheduled for January of 2025.
“Our goal with Avian Knights is to bring classic arcade-inspired gameplay and competition to the home, “ says Luke Anderson, Co-Founder of Alan-1 and Chief Gaming Officer, “We hope families and friends come together, make memories, and enjoy friendly competition in the world we’ve created and battle it out while chasing after the title of Grand Champion!”
Headquartered in Utah–the team at Alan-1 wanted to showcase the five United States National Parks that are located in Utah in Avian Knights. The various hand-drawn backgrounds and levels found throughout the game are artistic representations of these unique natural wonders. The game also highlights other destinations throughout Utah. The Alan-1 team hopes players will be inspired by the natural beauty of Utah and are invited to visit the Alan-1 Studio and Factory–open for visitors on most business days.
