FriendTimes Introduces Yokai Kitchen & Empress: Tales of the Heart at E3 2019

RTS WizardLord will also be featured on the showfloor

 

SUZHOU, China – May 16, 2019 – Prolific publisher and developer FriendTimes is bound to turn a few heads at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) with three exciting titles: anime RPG/restaurant management sim Yokai Kitchen, period 3D MMO Empress: Tales of the Heart, and the recently launched fantasy RTS WizardLord. Members of the press and the occasional industry insider will be able to play all three titles at the FriendTimes booth on the showfloor.

Yokai Kitchen
An upcoming anime RPG set in a bustling magical restaurant, Yokai Kitchen takes players through a world of yummy food, monster companions with special talents, and unexpected events. Shape the “foodimon” into helpful little critters in real time and explore the highly-customized delicacies on the menu – all featuring collectible ingredients – to make your restaurant a rousing success!

Empress: Tales of the Heart
Set in ancient China, Empress: Tales of the Heart is an upcoming 3D MMO that faithfully recreates a majestic imperial city. Get ready for palace intrigue, beautiful 3D graphics, and a tale of love (and hate!) told through stunning animated cutscenes and expansive, complex gameplay.

WizardLord
Set in a fractured magical land, WizardLord seamlessly blends action and strategy with fast-paced matches that require speedy decision-making, expertly built decks, and deadly spell combinations. Begin your journey as a mage apprentice and take on intense real-time battles to become the ultimate WizardLord.

“This year, we’re bringing a wide variety of titles to E3 to show the world what FriendTimes is all about as a publisher and developer,” says Choc Qian, Marketing Director at FriendTimes. “Yokai Kitchen will give anime fans a whole new take on the restaurant simulation; Empress: Tales of the Heart transports history fans to a mysterious city in ancient China; and WizardLord is custom-made for competitive gamers on the lookout for the perfect blend of world building, action, and strategy.”
