  • Coming to Dead by Daylight is Stranger Things Chapter Two

    Coming to Dead by Daylight is Stranger Things Chapter Two

    It’s official: The Fog is getting a lot stranger… again.

    The Entity has pulled back the veil on the highly anticipated Stranger Things Chapter 2 for Dead by Daylight! Whether you’re a legacy player or a newcomer to the Upside Down, it’s time to gear up for a new round of supernatural survival.

    What’s Lurking in the Fog?

    • New Killer: Face off against a terrifying new threat from the depths of the Upside Down.
    • New Survivors: Join forces with fan-favourite characters ready to bring their unique perks to the campfire.
    • New Map: Explore iconic, eerie locations inspired by the latest seasons of the hit Netflix series.

    Why We’re Hyped

    The first collaboration brought us the Demogorgon, Steve, and Nancy—but the lore of Hawkins has grown so much since then. This chapter promises to dive deeper into the horror, blending Dead by Daylight’s signature suspense with the nostalgic terror of Stranger Things.


    Are you ready to run, or will you become the next sacrifice?

  • Shovel Knight Dig coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation

    Shovel Knight Dig coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation

    When Yacht Club Games announced they were partnering with the pixel-art masters at Nitrome, fans knew something special was brewing. The result is Shovel Knight Dig, a game that trades the series’ classic horizontal platforming for a frantic, vertical descent into the earth.

    If you’re wondering whether this roguelite spin-off lives up to the blue knight’s legendary status, here is everything you need to know.


    The Premise: Down the Rabbit Hole

    The story kicks off when Drill Knight and his crew, the Hexcavators, blast apart Shovel Knight’s peaceful campsite and steal his hard-earned loot. Instead of traversing the world map, Shovel Knight grabs his Shovel Blade and dives into a massive hole in the ground to give chase.

    Unlike the original Shovel of Hope, which was a curated NES-style platformer, Dig is a roguelite. This means every time you dive into the well, the levels are procedurally generated, ensuring no two runs are exactly the same.

    16-Bit Glory

    While the original games famously adhered to 8-bit NES limitations, Shovel Knight Dig jumps forward a generation. The visuals are inspired by the 16-bit era (SNES/Genesis), featuring:

    • Fluid Animations: Shovel Knight moves with a smoothness we haven’t seen before.
    • Vibrant Palettes: Each biome—from the fungal Mushroom Mines to the mechanical Smeltworks—is bursting with colour and detail.
    • Parallax Backgrounds: The sense of depth as you descend is incredible, making the underground feel massive.
