  • Build, Defend, Survive — Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming Revealed!

    Build, Defend, Survive — Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming Revealed!

    Build by day, fight by night — and never let the horde overrun you.

    Independent South African studio MoonCrust has today announced Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming, a tense new twist on tower-defence action where you don’t just watch from the sidelines — you fight alongside your defences. The Steam store page is live now, and the game is set to launch in 2027.

    Daytime Prep

    When the sun is up, you’re busy fortifying your ground:

    • Construct walls, fences, and specialised towers across hand-crafted locations — from forest clearings to abandoned towns
    • Scavenge weapons, resources, and supplies scattered across the map
    • Recruit survivors to help you hold the line and expand your capabilities
    • Repair your mobile RV base — your lifeline and your transport to the next danger zone

    Nighttime War

    When darkness falls, the undead swarm in — and you’re right there in the thick of it:

    • Join the fight personally alongside your defences, wielding shotguns, flamethrowers, chainsaws, and more
    • Adapt on the fly — reinforce failing sections, lure zombies into kill zones, and use the terrain to your advantage
    • Survive the night — hold out until dawn, then move on to the next stop and do it all again, stronger and better prepared

    On the Road

    This isn’t about holding one spot forever — it’s about pushing onward:

    • Each stop is a unique, hand-built environment with its own layout, threats, and resources
    • Fix up your RV between locations to unlock new capabilities and upgrades
    • The horde grows deadlier the further you travel — every decision matters

    Death Falls: Zombies Are Coming blends real-time strategy building with visceral top-down shooter action — and it’s coming to Steam in 2027. Wishlist it now to stay updated.

  • Breach, Darkness, Demo — SCP: Project Pneuma Unleashes First Look October 1!

    Breach, Darkness, Demo — SCP: Project Pneuma Unleashes First Look October 1!

    The containment is broken — and the truth is hunting you.

    Indian developer and publisher Zatun has confirmed that the PC demo for SCP: Project Pneuma launches today, October 1, giving players their very first chance to step into the dark, atmospheric depths of this upcoming first-person psychological survival horror.

    Site-63 is gone. You are Dr. Alexander “Alexie” Kolchak, one of the few researchers to survive a catastrophic containment breach. Hunted by elite cleanup forces and surrounded by escaped anomalies, your journey through abandoned facilities, forgotten forests, and isolated research sites is about to begin — and the greatest danger may be your own mind.

    What Awaits in the Demo

    • Atmospheric Dread — Explore crumbling Foundation infrastructure where silence is rarely comforting and every shadow holds a secret
    • Distinct Anomalies — Face SCP-173Z, SCP-939Z, SCP-239Z and more — each with unique behaviours requiring stealth, caution, and quick wits rather than brute force
    • Unravelling Reality — As Alexie pushes deeper, the line between truth and hallucination blurs; sanity-based distortions mean you can’t always trust what you see or hear
    • Investigation & Story — Piece together what happened through journals, voice logs, and environmental clues in the lead-up to the game’s Early Access release

    Built from the ground up as a narrative-driven horror experience, SCP: Project Pneuma blends psychological tension, scarce resources, and stealth-focused survival across multiple chapters — with Chapter 2 already in development alongside the launch build.

    The demo is live right now on Steam. Wishlist the game, step into the breach, and discover how much of the horror is out there — and how much is already inside.

  • Fangs, Fields, and Fresh Produce — Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire Lands on PS5!

    Fangs, Fields, and Fresh Produce — Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire Lands on PS5!

    Forget everything you know about vampires — this one’s got a green thumb and zero bloodlust. Today marks the official PlayStation 5 arrival of Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire, the delightfully different action-farming roguelite from publisher JanduSoft and developer Digitality Games, and farming fans everywhere can finally get their hands on this wonderfully weird take on the genre.

    Voltaire is Dracula’s rebellious youngest son — and he’s had enough of the old ways. Ditching fangs and feasting for fertiliser and foliage, he’s determined to become the world’s first fully-fledged vegan vampire. Naturally, Dad isn’t impressed — and as night falls, Dracula’s ghoulish minions march in to trample your crops and drag you back to the family business.

    Farm by Day, Fight by Night

    • Grow Your Future — tend magical crops under Transylvanian sunlight, expand your farm, and unlock plant-based powers that make Voltaire stronger with every harvest
    • Defend What’s Yours — when darkness falls, pick up your tools and stand your ground against waves of creatures sent to destroy everything you’ve built
    • Rise Again — each run brings fresh knowledge, new abilities, and stronger forms as you evolve through plant-fuelled progression
    • Sidekick Support — get help from uncles Frank and Stein, who offer bounties, quests, and guidance on your leafy journey
    • Cute & Creepy — lose yourself in a beautifully hand-drawn Transylvania that’s equal parts spooky and charming

    Full-Featured Farming — With Bite

    Priced at £16.99 / €19.99 / $19.99 (with a launch discount available for PlayStation Plus members), the PS5 release includes the complete experience: solo or local 2-player co-op, all biomes, every vampiric evolution, and the full campaign of defiance against the Count himself.

    If you’ve ever wanted to tend a turnip patch while wielding shadowy powers, or prove that you can be fearsome without feeding — this is your moment. The farm is ready, the seeds are sown, and Dracula’s already fuming.

    Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire is available now on PlayStation 5 — grow your legacy today.

  • Titanfall, Fury, Family — KONG: SURVIVOR INSTINCT Blazes Onto Switch!

    Titanfall, Fury, Family — KONG: SURVIVOR INSTINCT Blazes Onto Switch!

    The ground tears open. Skyscrapers buckle. And somewhere deep inside the devastation, your daughter is trapped.

    A sudden, brutal Titan attack shatters the city, sparking frantic mass evacuation — but not everyone makes it out before the destruction closes in. Caught in the apocalyptic crossfire between clashing behemoths, countless residents are stranded in a crumbling, fire-ravaged metropolis. Among the missing — your only daughter.

    This is the heart of Kong: Survivor Instinct, the gripping 2.5D action-adventure set in Legendary’s blockbuster Monsterverse, now available physically and digitally for Nintendo Switch — following earlier arrival on other platforms.

    A Father’s Impossible Journey

    You step into the shoes of David Martin, an ordinary man thrust into an extraordinary nightmare. Separated from his daughter Stacy when Titans tear through the city, David must navigate a war zone where every tremor could be the last. The path ahead is choked with collapsing skyscrapers, toxic spills, and raging infernos — and the monsters outside are only half the danger.

    • Influence the Titans — wield the ORCA ?, advanced Monarch tech, to shape the behaviour of the colossal beings reshaping the skyline
    • Scavenge & Survive — gather resources, craft tools, and solve environmental puzzles amid the ruins
    • Fight & Outwit — face off against hostile mercenaries and deadly creatures, while Kong himself looms above — both threat and potential ally
    • Explore the Monsterverse — encounter the legendary Kong, confront the terrifying Titan Abaddon, and witness the raw power of these ancient beings up close

    Crafted as a canonical story set shortly after the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, this isn’t about wielding godlike power — it’s about human grit, hope, and the lengths a parent will go when everything falls apart.

    The city is burning. Stacy is waiting. And the Titans are still fighting.

    Kong: Survivor Instinct is out now — don’t let the monsters win.

  • Blaze, Freeze, Fight — Shoto Todoroki (Phosphor) Heats Up MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE Season 19!

    Blaze, Freeze, Fight — Shoto Todoroki (Phosphor) Heats Up MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE Season 19!

    Hot and cold, unleashed in perfect harmony — and faster than ever! Bandai Namco has officially ignited Season 19 of MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE, and the headline addition brings a fan-favourite at the peak of his power: Shoto Todoroki (Phosphor) — a brand-new, distinct playable fighter who has mastered the advanced technique known as Phosphor.

    Wielding an evolved form of his legendary Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk, Shoto joins the fray as a Rapid-type fighter — blending devastating firepower with bone-chilling frost to dominate the battlefield like never before. This isn’t the Shoto you already know: he’s been completely reimagined with a revamped moveset reflecting his power at the height of his abilities.

    Master Every Element

    • Frozen Body Blade Flash — Hurl razor-sharp ice projectiles that build toward the Frozen status effect, locking enemies in place after repeated hits
    • Crimson Lotus Flame Slash — Sweep through foes with a towering blade of flame that inflicts Burn, carving a path through crowded fights
    • Jetstream Blaze — Surge forward in a blazing dash, closing gaps instantly and striking with a fiery shock wave

    Unleash Phosphor

    Activate Flashfire Fist: Phosphor, and everything changes. His abilities transform entirely — unlocking advanced cold-flame techniques such as Coldflame Pale Blade and Great Glacial Aegir, mixing searing heat and glacial cold to freeze enemies from unexpected angles. Projectiles multiply, strikes hit harder, and the battlefield bends to your will.

    Speed, Control, Supremacy

    Shoto’s enhanced kit is built for total battlefield control: inflict dual status effects, shift between ranged pressure and close-quarters blitz, and reposition in an instant with Ice Slide — letting you skim across the ground, scale walls, and outmanoeuvre opponents before they know what hit them.

    Free-to-play MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE pits 24 players against one another in frantic hero-versus-hero combat — and Season 19 also marks the game’s third anniversary, packed with rewards, events, and the arrival of Toya Todoroki alongside Shoto.

    Season 19 is live right now — step into the Phosphor blaze and show them what perfect balance can do.

You play as an ex-patient haunted by fractured visions, returning to unravel the institution’s hidden history and face the shocking truth at its core. Crafted by the creators of cult classics Scratches and Serena, ASYLUM leans into masterful slow-burn terror rather than cheap jump scares.

    What Awaits Inside?

    • Around 10 hours of atmospheric, story-driven exploration — plus countless dark secrets to uncover
    • A haunting soundtrack inspired by 1980s horror and the legendary John Carpenter
    • Influences spanning Lovecraftian dread to the cinematic flair of Peter Cushing and Lucio Fulci

  • Helm, Heart, Home — FARLANE Shows Frontier Life in Brand-New Screenshots!

    Helm, Heart, Home — FARLANE Shows Frontier Life in Brand-New Screenshots!

    Life on the edge of the galaxy is equal parts danger, discovery, and family — and now you can see it for yourself! Independent Croatian studio Siscia Games has debuted a fresh set of screenshots from FARLANE, their upcoming single-player sci-fi adventure where you take command of a beat-up frontier ship and the tight-knit crew that calls it home.

    Command Your Vessel, Care for Your Crew

    FARLANE isn’t about grand fleets or conquering empires — it’s about the quiet, vital work of keeping a small freighter flying and your people thriving on the galaxy’s unruly fringe:

    • Captain’s Burden — You’re the skipper, the problem-solver, and the final word. Navigate trade routes, take on jobs, and steer your ship through uncertain space — all while keeping your crew fed, rested, and loyal
    • Crew & Connection — Every member has a name, a backstory, and a life aboard. Talk, listen, and grow together as you cross the stars. Their wellbeing shapes your ship’s morale, your choices, and your journey
    • Frontier Realism — The galaxy is vast and untamed. Ports are few and far between; supplies are precious; repairs are hard-won. This is space adventure grounded in human scale
    • Stunning New Looks — The newly released screenshots showcase cabin interiors, bridge views, bustling port stops, and the quiet beauty of the frontier beyond the viewport

    Wishlist & Follow — The Journey Continues

    FARLANE is currently in development by Siscia Games, with more details and release news coming soon. Head over to the official channels to wishlist and be the first to know when the next update drops.

  • Ambition, Intrigue, Boredom — Lord Captain Aspyce Chorda Joins Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy!

    Ambition, Intrigue, Boredom — Lord Captain Aspyce Chorda Joins Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy!

    When boredom strikes, chaos follows — and the Calixis Sector is about to get a lot more interesting! Developer Owlcat Games has unveiled Lord Captain Aspyce Chorda, the latest companion character joining your warband in the upcoming cRPG Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy — a legendary Rogue Trader who sticks around for one reason only: to cure her ennui.

    From the Koronus Expanse to Your Inquisitorial Party

    Aspyce Chorda isn’t your average ally. Born into a noble Scintillan dynasty, she carved her name across the lawless Koronus Expanse through ambition, treachery, and unmistakable ruthlessness. When the Great Rift trapped her far from home, she found herself on Scintilla — and soon found herself bored. Enter: your investigation.

    • Fearsome Reputation — Nobles fear her, naval officers respect her, and the Inquisition watches her every move with deep suspicion. Her lineage is noble; her methods are anything but
    • Boredom Is Her Motivation — Sophisticated entertainments no longer suffice. An Inquisitorial investigation offers fresh, unusual, and brutal distractions. She’s here because she wants to be — and she’ll leave the moment it stops being fun
    • Deadly Versatility — Expert with both ranged and melee weapons, she boosts party morale while striking fear into enemies. Her knowledge of xenos and social influence make her invaluable — if you can keep her interested

    The Great Rift, The Calixis Sector, And A Warband Like No Other

    Dark Heresy casts you not as a Rogue Trader, but as an Acolyte of the Inquisition — investigating heresy, uncovering conspiracies, and walking the razor’s edge between salvation and damnation. Chorda is just one of many distinctive companions joining your cause, each with their own voice, motives, and loyalties.

    The game is coming soon to Steam — wishlist now to be alerted when it arrives, and keep an eye on Owlcat Games for further reveals.

    She’s dangerous, she’s unpredictable, and she’s bored. Pray you don’t disappoint her.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy — The Emperor’s Will. Her amusement. Your peril.
