Hojo Studio :

Sydney – 03/07/2024 – Hojo Studio announced today that The Godfeather: A Mafia Pigeon Saga will swoop onto mobile platforms - Nintendo Switch and iOS devices on the 15th of August. The fourth game from Hojo Studio combines frantic roguelike action, stealth and exploration with a sweeping story of the pigeon underworld.

 
In The Godfeather, players take on the role of an associate in the pigeon mafia, tasked with taking back “the old neighborhood” - from all enemies of the organization - human and bird alike. How do pigeon assassins take out their targets? With poop, of course.


Featuring procedurally generated levels across three expansive environments, thrilling boss fights, pigeon cosmetics to earn and pigeon upgrades to unlock, The Godfeather is a hilarious, challenging roguelike for the little mafia pigeon in all of us.


Described as “One of the leading contenders for the chance to claim Cult of the Lamb's throne”. The Sydney-based Hojo Studio’s The Godfeather was a huge hit with its showcase to the crowds at PAX last year, as well as SXSW Sydney. Switch and iOS are the ideal platforms for players to discover the game and begin their journey to the heart of the pigeon underworld.


Screen Australia Head of Online and Games Lee Naimo said, “We’re delighted to have been able to support the extremely talented team at Hojo Studios and the development of The Godfeather. What’s not to love about this light-hearted and entertaining game? With an unruly pigeon at the center of the gameplay, vibrant graphics and plenty of targets to keep you on your toes – players will be hooked in no time”


The pigeon underworld is a worldwide operation - that means the game is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Brazil Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and, of course, Italian.
