Croix Noire comic books come to life in a video game and full-length album
The creators of the popular Croix-Noire comic books have announced the re-launch of ACE HANSEL JR Cyborg Attack – the official video game based on the series. The major update to the game, built by metaverse creator studio Dubit, coincides with the release of the hotly anticipated Songs From Croix-Noire album.
Croix-Noire is the brainchild of music legend Mike Batt and Jean-Charles Capelli, an entrepreneur by day and singer-songwriter by night. The comic books are brought to life by the artwork of legendary Marvel/DC comic artist Mike Collins (Superman, Spiderman, Star Trek, Doctor Who), and the storytelling of EMMY-winning writer and novelist David Quantick (Book of Love, Veep). Since the first monthly issue of the 7-part epic was released in April 2022, Croix-Noire’s main protagonists – dubious superhero ACE HANSEL JR and grizzled sidekick Colonel Talbot – have swiftly built a cult following.
Now, fans can explore the Croix-Noire neighbourhood themselves in Dubit’s Roblox game, which faithfully recreates its seedy surroundings. Players drop into a chaotic world, and use a range of lethal weapons and emotional gadgetry to defend themselves and the streets of Croix-Noire from the ever-present threat of cyborg attack. As a creator of metaverse games, experiences and events, Dubit already has an extensive track record of working with leading IP such as Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants, as well as music artists such as Charli XCX, whose recent performance in Roblox was nominated for an MTV VMA award.
The game’s re-launch coincides with the release of Songs From Croix-Noire, a full-length album by ACE HANSEL JR (voiced by Jean-Charles Capelli). The album is the perfect accompaniment to the Roblox action and comic book series, creating a truly immersive cross-media experience, and is available on vinyl, CD, cassette and digital.
Jean-Charles Capelli said:”Everyone has a place they return to in their dreams. It might be real or imaginary. It might be a mixture of the two. You might spend the rest of your life trying to work out why you keep going back there. For me, Croix-Noire is that place. Join me as ACE HANSEL JR in the Cyborg Attack game, but watch your back, as this kaleidoscopic world will suck you in and spit you back out!”
Mike Batt said:“Croix-Noire is a world that merges fantasy and reality. We’re very proud of this album as a standalone music experience. It’s not a soundtrack album. Combined with the comic book series album and now newly upgraded Roblox game, the sheer depth of immersion available for fans of the project is unparalleled.”

155.io Breaks the Mold Again, Introducing the CCTV Game Genre via Rush Hour
155.io, the live content studio transforming real-world games, has launched CCTV.Game, an innovative genre created entirely from live CCTV footage collected worldwide. The category debuts with its inaugural title, Rush Hour. The live game operates around the clock to convert real-life traffic into immediate viewing and wagering entertainment.
The CCTV Game signifies a new path for 155.io, broadening its chaos-oriented philosophy into completely live, real-world settings. Created using numerous live CCTV feeds from around the globe, the game transforms everyday activities into quick, engaging, and immediately bettable entertainment.
Running nonstop, Rush Hour enables players to wager on straightforward, distinct results during rounds lasting under a minute – such as the number of cars that cross a junction or the quantity that turns left or right within a specified timeframe. Each round is dynamic, spontaneous, and influenced by the organic rhythms of the world, instead of standard RNG methods.
Rush Hour’s live recordings feature diverse locations such as Sydney, Swindon, Arizona, and Taipei, as well as landmarks like Patong Beach in Thailand and Abbey Road in London. From everyday crossroads to landmark locations, the entire world transforms into the game board. Crafted for mobile devices, Rush Hour is immediately comprehensible and genuinely engaging, providing a much-needed option to conventional casino formats. CCTV Game embodies 155.io’s fundamental philosophy: chaotic reality, straightforward games, and entertainment designed primarily for mobile.
The launch enhances 155.io’s attraction to the upcoming player generation, merging live-stream culture with instant betting features.
CCTV Game and Rush Hour can now be accessed via Hub88 or through direct integration.
Sam Jones, Founder & CEO of 155.io, commented: “Rush Hour is the first expression of our CCTV Game genre – think Big Brother blended with Polymarket. It’s completely live, and the world is now our studio. CCTV.game takes real-world chaos and turns it into something instantly playable and genuinely entertaining – this is content the next generation will queue up to try.”
He added: “Once you realise the entire world can be a live game feed, there are no boundaries. Live traffic content is just the start – from live wildlife to iconic sporting locations – we’re only just setting off on our journey of what real-world chaos entertainment can be.”

Chicken X & Friends
Million Games Launches Chicken X & Friends Today Following Strong ICE Reception
Million Games announces today the official launch of Chicken X & Friends, its real-time multiplayer crash game and the highly anticipated sequel to the award-nominated hit Chicken X.
Following a successful showcase at ICE 2026, where the game attracted strong interest and positive feedback from operators, partners, and industry professionals, Chicken X & Friends is now live and available to play.
Set across a chaotic multi-lane highway, Chicken X & Friends brings Jack Chicken back into action—this time in a shared, unlimited multiplayer environment. Unlike traditional crash games, gameplay never pauses. There are no waiting rounds or session start times. Players can jump in instantly and start playing at any moment.
Multiplayer Crash Gameplay, Evolved
Chicken X & Friends introduces unlimited, real-time multiplayer gameplay to the crash genre. Players are visible live on screen as they navigate traffic lanes, build multipliers, and decide when to cash out before the crash.
“This launch marks an important step for us,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Million Games. “Chicken X & Friends builds on everything players loved about the original, but adds a social layer that fundamentally changes how crash games feel. Seeing other players make decisions in real time adds tension, strategy, and excitement—and that was very clear from the feedback we received at ICE.”
Player Choice, Progression, and Personalisation
Gameplay takes place across multiple traffic lanes, each offering a distinct risk-and-reward profile. Slower lanes provide steadier multiplier growth with lighter traffic, while faster lanes increase volatility with denser traffic and quicker multiplier escalation.
Players actively choose how and where to play—staying safe, pushing into danger, or switching lanes as conditions change. Safe zones offer a brief pause from traffic, but staying too long triggers an automatic cash-out, ensuring the pace remains high and the pressure stays on.
As players progress, they unlock levels and cosmetic customisations, including different skins and hats for Jack Chicken. These visual rewards allow players to stand out on the road and showcase their experience and performance without affecting gameplay balance.
Movement is fast and intuitive, controlled through taps or directional inputs, allowing players to react instantly as traffic patterns evolve.
Social, Competitive, and Always On
In public playgrounds, up to ten players appear live on screen. Each player is represented by Jack Chicken, while competitors appear as pigeons, creating instant visual awareness of who is still in the race. The leading player is highlighted with a unique “king” skin and a visible live multiplier.
Live leaderboards track top performances over the past hour and 24 hours, encouraging repeat play and competition. Players can also choose to play solo or create private rooms with friends, offering flexibility without compromising the core gameplay experience.
Now Live and Available
Chicken X & Friends is launching today and can be played now on the Million Games website. Operators and partners interested in integrating the game or learning more about distribution opportunities are encouraged to get in touch with the Million Games team.
“This game represents something genuinely new for our industry,” added Thomas Nimstad. “We’re pushing beyond familiar formats to create experiences that players haven’t seen before. Unlimited gameplay, visible multiplayer tension, and shared decision-making open up a new direction for crash games—and that’s exactly the kind of innovation we want Million Games to be known for.”
