  • KIBORG: Descent — The Cybernetic Meat Grinder Just Got Deeper

    KIBORG: Descent — The Cybernetic Meat Grinder Just Got Deeper

    If you thought Morgan Lee’s 1,300-year sentence was a rough ride, think again. Sobaka Studio has officially released KIBORG: Descent, the first major paid DLC for the 2025 sleeper hit that redefined “brutal” for the roguelite genre.

    Launching exactly one year after the base game’s debut, Descent isn’t just a victory lap—it’s a deep dive into the darkest corners of the Omega-201 prison planet. Here is everything you need to know about the latest expansion to the high-octane, cybernetic brawler.

    Back Into the Breach: The Story

    The cycle of violence continues. After surviving the televised carnage of “The Last Ticket,” Morgan Lee finds himself lured into the forgotten depths of the Omega-201 tower. The DLC introduces the KENKOU factory—a rusted, abandoned industrial nightmare—and the Flooded Ruins, which hint at a civilisation that predates the prison itself.

    What’s New in the Descent?

    Sobaka Studio hasn’t held back on the content. Descent expands the “build, break, repeat” loop with significant additions:

    • 10+ New Enemy Types: From nimble mechanical horrors to heavy-hitting industrial droids, the variety of fodder for your cybernetic fists has exploded.
    • Three Legendary Bosses: Including the long-awaited showdown with Volkov, a confrontation fans have been itching for since the base game launched.
    • The Abyss of Challenge: For those who found the original game too “forgiving,” two new difficulty levels have been added. The AI is smarter, the traps are more devious, and your margin for error is razor-thin.
    • New Arsenal: The DLC introduces new melee weapons—including a fan-favourite chainsaw—and fresh implants to further customise your build.

    A Massive Milestone for Sobaka Studio

    The release of Descent also marks a shift for the developers. Following the successful independent launch of KIBORG in 2025, Sobaka Studio has moved toward a self-publishing model.

    “After KIBORG’s launch last year, we knew we didn’t push Morgan Lee hard enough,” says Dmitry Kachkov, Head of Sobaka Studio. “Descent throws new locations and challenges for inmates of all skillsets to overcome.”

    Launch Details & Discounts

    To celebrate the one-year anniversary and the DLC launch, Sobaka is offering some serious incentives for new and returning players:

    ItemPlatformLaunch Price (approx.)
    KIBORG: Descent DLCPC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S£6.99 / $8.99 (10% Launch Discount)
    KIBORG (Base Game)All Platforms35% Off

    Note: The DLC launch is accompanied by a massive free update for all players, adding quality-of-life improvements, performance fixes, and re-voiced dialogue for key characters.

    The Verdict

    If you enjoyed the kinetic, crunchy combat of the original, Descent is a no-brainer. It doubles down on the “cyber-action” aesthetic while providing enough fresh mechanical depth to justify a return to the grind.

    KIBORG: Descent is out now on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.

    Have you managed to survive the new Flooded Ruins yet, or are you still getting pummelled by the new boss encounters?

  • Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted launches May 28th on Steam

    Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted launches May 28th on Steam

    Ready your lasso and keep your trigger finger twitchy, because the most dangerous outlaws in the galaxy are about to have a very bad day.

    Developer Nanuq and publisher Infini Fun have officially announced that Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted, the high-octane co-op action roguelite, is set to launch on Steam for PC on Thursday, May 28.

    Friendships End at the Finish Line

    In the world of Bounty Brawl, you aren’t just a lawman—you’re a cash-hungry mercenary operating out of Hunter Haven. While the game supports up to four players in local or online co-op, don’t get too comfortable with your teammates.

    The game’s most unique hook? The Final Showdown. Once you and your crew successfully take down a massive intergalactic boss, the alliance immediately dissolves. The survivors must turn their weapons on each other in a frantic free-for-all to decide who walks away with the entire bounty. It’s a literal “get rich or die trying” scenario where greed is just as important as skill.

    Fast Combat and Lasso Mastery

    Bounty Brawl distinguishes itself with its core mechanics:

    • The Lasso: Far more than a cosmetic tool, your lasso is your lifeline. Use it to zip across gaps, trigger environmental traps, or execute brutal finishers on staggered targets.
    • Diverse Roster: Choose from eight unique outlaws, including characters like Kyle, the robotic cowboy wielding a heavy revolver, or Xane, who favors up-close-and-personal lethality with her claws.
    • Brevity Meets Depth: Each run is designed as a quick, three-stage affair. This “snackable” roguelite format means you can squeeze in a hunt during a lunch break, though the deep permanent upgrades back at base will keep you coming back for “just one more run.”

    Why It’s on Our Radar

    At TechMash, we love a roguelite that respects the player’s time. Director Nat Rangsarannon noted that the team wanted to solve the “hindrance” of long-time commitments usually required by the genre. By blending the frantic energy of a twin-stick shooter with the social (and anti-social) dynamics of a competitive brawler, Bounty Brawl looks to be a staple for game nights.

    Release Details: > * Release Date: Thursday, May 28, 2026

    • Platform: Steam (PC)
    • Features: Online & Local Co-op (1-4 players), Global Matchmaking, Private Lobbies.

    Will you be splitting the loot or taking it all for yourself? Be sure to wishlist Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted on Steam ahead of its May 28 debut.

  • Gear Up, Vault Hunters: Raid Boss 2 Hits Borderlands 4 This May!

    Gear Up, Vault Hunters: Raid Boss 2 Hits Borderlands 4 This May!

    If you thought you’d finally conquered the wilds of Kairos, think again. Gearbox has officially confirmed that Raid Boss 2—the dual-threat encounter featuring Subjugator and Thol the Invincible—is set to arrive in Borderlands 4 on May 28.

    Best of all? It’s part of the Version 1.7 update, which is completely free for all players. Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming mayhem.

    Double the Trouble: Subjugator and Thol

    While the first raid boss, Bloomreaper, was a solo test of endurance, Raid Boss 2 ups the ante by throwing two bosses at you simultaneously. These fearsome foes are described as the “Timekeeper’s lackeys,” and they’ll require more than just raw DPS to take down. Expect complex mechanics that will test your team’s coordination and your build’s survivability.

    New Loot Tiers and Rewards

    You aren’t just going into the meat grinder for the glory; the rewards for this encounter are top-tier. Gearbox has teased a suite of new gear arriving with the update:

    • 1 New Pearlescent Weapon: The ultra-rare tier returns, offering power that eclipses even your favourite Legendaries.
    • 4 New Legendary Items: Fresh tools for your arsenal to help shake up the meta.
    • 5 New Class Mods: One bespoke mod for every Vault Hunter, including the recently released C4SH the Rogue.
    • 1 New Firmware: A new endgame item type to further refine your character’s stats.

    UVHM Level 7: The Ultimate Test

    For those who find the current endgame a walk in the park, Version 1.7 is also introducing Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode (UVHM) Level 7. This increases the difficulty ceiling yet again, scaling enemy health and damage to punishing new heights. If you’re planning to farm Subjugator and Thol on this difficulty, you’d better have your “True Mode” settings dialled in.

    How to Prepare

    To access the Raid Boss 2 encounter, you must have completed the main story campaign. If you’re still working through the Whispering Glacier or catching up on the Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned DLC, now is the time to wrap those up.

    Pro-Tip: Gearbox suggests hitting the current level cap and optimizing your gear before May 28, as this encounter scales to your party size but is designed to be one of the toughest challenges in the game to date.

    What’s Next for Borderlands 4?

    The momentum doesn’t stop in May. Following the Version 1.7 update, June is looking equally packed. We can expect:

    • Version 1.8 (Late June): A new free Takedown raid.
    • Bounty Pack 3: A new paid DLC dropping the same day as the Takedown.

    Stay tuned to TechMash for the full patch notes when Version 1.7 drops on May 28. Until then, keep hunting those Vaults!

  • Ink and Steel: Realm of Ink Takes Centre Stage at gamescom Latam 2026

    Ink and Steel: Realm of Ink Takes Centre Stage at gamescom Latam 2026

    The brush is mightier than the sword—especially when it’s infused with ancient magic.

    4Divinity (the publishing arm of GCL Global Holdings [NASDAQ: GCL]) and developer Leap Studio have officially confirmed that their highly anticipated action roguelite, Realm of Ink, will be a major highlight at gamescom Latam 2026.

    Taking place in São Paulo from April 30 to May 3, the event will give fans a hands-on look at the title just weeks before its global launch.

    Visit the Ink-Washed World: Booth Details

    If you’re heading to the Anhembi District for Gamescom Latam, you can find the Realm of Ink demo at the Nuuvem booth. The team will be set up in a massive space across booths 1407, 1408, 1409, and 1410, located directly in front of the Shadow Zone.

    Attendees will have the chance to play as Red, the fearless swordswoman who discovers her entire world is a scripted narrative within a cursed book. The demo will showcase the game’s signature “ink-wash” aesthetic—a stunning blend of traditional Chinese art and modern 2.5D action.

    The Road to Version 1.0

    After a successful stint in Steam Early Access, where it maintained a “Very Positive” rating, Realm of Ink is nearing its final form. The gamescom Latam demo will feature the latest refinements, including:

    • Fluid Combat: Experience nine distinct combat forms and over 40 elemental Ink Gems.
    • Evolving Companions: Battle alongside Ink Pets that transform based on your character build.
    • The BlazBlue Crossover: Fans can get a glimpse of Oread (the Stage 4 boss from BlazBlue Entropy Effect), who joins the roster as a fully playable character.

    Release Date & Platforms

    For those who can’t make it to Brazil, the wait is almost over. 4Divinity confirmed that Realm of Ink will officially exit Early Access and launch its 1.0 version on May 26, 2026.

    The launch will be a simultaneous multi-platform release, hitting:

    • PC (Steam)
    • PlayStation 5 & PlayStation 4
    • Xbox Series X|S
    • Nintendo Switch

    “We’ve worked closely with our community throughout Early Access to refine the flow of combat and the depth of progression. Bringing the game to gamescom Latam is the perfect way to celebrate the journey before we hit consoles this May.” — Leap Studio

  • Divine Justice Meets Heavy Metal: Arms of God Hits Early Access This June

    Divine Justice Meets Heavy Metal: Arms of God Hits Early Access This June

    The “bullet heaven” genre is about to get a hellish upgrade. Dark Jay Studio has officially announced that its highly anticipated action roguelite, Arms of God, is set to storm into Early Access on June 8, 2026.

    If you’ve been looking for a game that blends the chaotic energy of Vampire Survivors with the visceral, high-fidelity gore of DOOM, this is the title to keep on your radar. Developed by the husband-and-wife duo at Dark Jay Studio (Dominik and Barbara Sójka), Arms of God recently turned heads during Steam Next Fest, ranking in the Top 100 demos and maintaining a “Very Positive” 88% rating.

    What to Expect from the Early Access Launch

    While many autoshooters stick to 2D pixel art, Arms of God breaks the mould with hand-sculpted 3D characters and dark, stylised environments. The game places you in the role of a divine warrior tasked with resurrecting a decimated holy order and purging a world overrun by demonic legions.

    Key features coming to the June 8 release include:

    • The Power of Five: Forget holding just one gun. You can wield up to five weapons simultaneously, creating a massive wall of fire (or steel) against the abyss.
    • Deep Build Customisation: With 60 different weapon models, you aren’t just picking gear—you’re merging them. The game features an innovative system where you can combine weapons and upgrades into “indestructible monstrosities.”
    • A Content-Heavy Start: The Early Access version is launching with a meatier-than-usual offering, featuring 60 story-driven levels, 10 playable heroes, and 10 formidable bosses.
    • Heavy Metal Vibes: The entire experience is backed by a pulsing metal soundtrack designed to keep the adrenaline high as you tear through four distinct acts of hellish landscapes.

    Roadmap to Redemption

    Dominik Sójka, the creative force behind the project and former Technical Art Director for The Beast Inside, notes that the game has been in development for nearly four years. The team plans to remain in Early Access until early 2027, with the full version set to include local co-op and eventual console ports for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox.

    Whether you’re playing on a high-end rig or taking the fight on the go—as the game is already confirmed to run great on Steam Deck—Arms of God promises a satisfying loop of “just one more run” gameplay.

    “We believe Arms of God stands out thanks to its custom weapon-combining mechanics, high-quality 3D visuals, and an additional narrative layer rarely seen in this space.” — Dominik Sójka, Dark Jay Studio

    Arms of God arrives on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on June 8, 2026. You can head over to Steam now to check out the demo and add it to your wishlist.

    Are you ready to wield the tools of divine justice, or will you succumb to the infernal conflagration? Let us know in the comments!

  • The Hell Clock Is Ticking Toward Consoles This June

    The Hell Clock Is Ticking Toward Consoles This June

    The wait is nearly over for console players looking for their next dark fantasy obsession. Rogue Snail and Mad Mushroom have officially announced that Hell Clock, the high-octane “Exile-like” roguelike ARPG, will make its debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on June 2, 2026.

    Since its initial PC launch, Hell Clock has carved out a unique niche by blending the deep character customisation of Path of Exile with the frantic, “one-more-run” energy of Hades. Now, that experience is coming to your living room with a massive new update to boot.

    What is Hell Clock?

    Set against a dark fantasy reimagining of Brazil’s 19th-century War of Canudos, you play as Pajeú, a warrior-clockmaker descending into the depths of Hell. Your mission? Rescue the soul of your mentor, The Counsellor, from the demonic forces that claimed him.

    The game stands out with its titular mechanic: The Hell Clock. You aren’t just fighting monsters; you’re fighting time itself. Every second counts as you rush through procedurally generated levels, balancing the need for powerful loot against a timer that spells “Game Over” the moment it hits zero.

    Key Features to Get Excited About:

    • Deep Customisation: A massive, scrolling skill tree and a “Relic” system allow you to forge unstoppable builds.
    • Cultural Depth: Experience a story rooted in Brazilian history and folklore, voiced in Brazilian Portuguese for an authentic atmosphere.
    • Choose Your Pace: While the timer adds tension, a “Relaxed Mode” lets you remove the pressure, while “Hardcore” will test even the most veteran ARPG fans.
    • Fluid Combat: From lightning-fast knife strikes to crushing enemies with a massive bell, the combat is snappy, responsive, and designed for controller play.

    Launching with the “Cursed War” Expansion

    The console launch on June 2 isn’t just a port—it’s a celebration. Launching simultaneously on PS5, Xbox, and Steam is the game’s first major expansion: Cursed War.

    This expansion promises to go even deeper into the lore of Canudos, adding new systems, more nightmarish bosses, and fresh content to the three-act campaign. According to Rogue Snail CEO Mark Venturelli, the goal was to “fit the feeling of an entire PoE league or Diablo season into just a few hours,” and Cursed War looks to double down on that promise.

    Mark Your Calendars

    If you’ve been looking for an ARPG that respects your time while offering endless depth, Hell Clock is the one to watch.

    Release Date: June 2, 2026

    Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam

    Price: Expected to align with the PC launch price of £15.99 / $19.99

    Get ready to face the demons of Brazil’s past. Just remember: in Hell, time is the only currency that matters.

  • The Mist is Calling: Bellring Games Debuts Haunting New Trailer for Mistfall Hunter

    The Mist is Calling: Bellring Games Debuts Haunting New Trailer for Mistfall Hunter

    The extraction genre is getting a serious injection of dark fantasy, and if the latest footage is anything to go by, your nerves are about to be tested. Bellring Games has just dropped a stunning new atmospheric trailer for Mistfall Hunter, their highly anticipated action extraction RPG, giving us our best look yet at the decaying world of the “Gyldenmist.”

    Debuted during the ID@Xbox x IGN Preview Event, the trailer showcases more than just moody lighting—it introduces us to Solemn Needles, a sprawling new map that shifts the gameplay toward open, treacherous landscapes filled with towering ruins and even more terrifying mutated monstrosities.

    PvPvE Meets High-Stakes Fantasy

    For the uninitiated, Mistfall Hunter isn’t your standard dungeon crawler. It’s a third-person PvPvE extraction looter. You (and up to two companions) step into the shoes of a Gyldhunter, a resurrected hero tasked with venturing into the mist to harvest “Gyldenblod”—the blood of fallen gods.

    The loop is simple but stressful:

    1. Enter the Mist: Navigate a world warped by divine blood.
    2. Slay & Loot: Fight off Corroded creatures and rival players.
    3. Extract: Find the “Returner Woodling” to escape with your gear.

    The catch? If you die before you extract, you lose everything. It’s a high-stakes gamble that blends the tension of Escape from Tarkov with the aesthetic grit of Elden Ring.

    Five Classes, Infinite Ways to Die

    The trailer highlighted the fluid, “precision aiming” combat system, which looks a lot snappier than your average clunky RPG. You’ll be able to choose from five distinct classes:

    • Mercenary: For those who like their problems solved with heavy steel.
    • Sorcerer: High-damage magic with a glass-cannon risk.
    • Blackarrow: Long-range precision.
    • Shadowstrix: Stealth and agility for the backstabbers among us.
    • Seer: Providing the vital support and utility your squad will desperately need.

    Release Window & Platforms

    The hype train is moving fast, as Mistfall Hunter is scheduled to launch in July 2026.

    The game will be available on PC (Steam/Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and has recently been confirmed for PlayStation 5. Better yet, for those in the Microsoft ecosystem, it will be available at launch via Xbox Game Pass.

    Pro-Tip: If you’re itching to get your hands on it early, Bellring Games has hinted at an Open Beta coming in June 2024, so keep your eyes peeled on their official channels.

    Mistfall Hunter looks set to be the next big obsession for fans of dark fantasy and high-intensity extraction gameplay. Are you ready to risk your loot in the mist?

    Stay tuned to TechMash for more updates on Mistfall Hunter and the latest in gaming news.

  • It Started When an Alien Device Did What It Did: Ben 10 is Coming to Fortnite!

    It Started When an Alien Device Did What It Did: Ben 10 is Coming to Fortnite!

    Move over, Avengers—the wielder of the Omnitrix is finally making his way to the Island. After months of swirling rumours and “hero time” theories, Epic Games has officially confirmed that Ben 10 is the next major collaboration hitting Fortnite.

    If you grew up watching Ben Tennyson cycle through alien DNA to save the world, or if you’ve just been waiting for a skin that actually looks like it belongs in an intergalactic brawl, Friday is your day.

    Hero Time: Release Date and Launch Details

    Mark your calendars and set your alarms. The Fortnite x Ben 10 collaboration is scheduled to go live on Friday, April 24, 2026, at 8 PM ET (which translates to 1 AM BST on April 25 for our UK readers).

    Unlike some of the massive “mini-pass” events we’ve seen recently, this looks to be a focused Item Shop drop, though the teaser trailer has fans hoping for a few hidden surprises in the gameplay.

    What’s in the Omnitrix? (The Skins & Cosmetics)

    The collaboration appears to draw heavy inspiration from the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien era, featuring a cel-shaded art style similar to the recent Avatar and Dragon Ball crossovers. Here is what you can expect to find in the shop:

    • Ben Tennyson Outfit: The star of the show comes with his iconic green jacket.
    • Transformation Styles: This is the big one. Leaks and teasers confirm that Ben will have built-in transformation emotes, allowing him to shift into:
      • Heatblast (The Pyronite powerhouse)
      • Alien X (The near-omnipotent celestial being)
    • Gwen Tennyson Outfit: Ben’s cousin joins the fight, reportedly featuring her “Lucky Girl” magic/Mana effects as back bling or pickaxes.
    • Wildmutt Chompers: In one of the more unique cosmetic choices, we’re getting Fortnite Kicks (shoes) styled after the Vulpimancer, Wildmutt.
    • Additional Gear: Look out for Gwen’s Grimoire (Back Bling), Mana Orb pickaxes, and an Omnitrix Upgrade weapon wrap.

    Will There Be a Mythic?

    While Epic has been tight-lipped about gameplay items, the community is buzzing about a potential Omnitrix Mythic. Imagine a loot item that allows you to cycle through three different alien forms, each with a unique ability—Heatblast for fire damage, or perhaps XLR8 for a massive speed boost across the map.

    While not confirmed for this Friday’s drop, Epic has a history of adding Mythics a few days after the initial skin release to keep the momentum going.

    Why This is a Big Deal for TechMash Readers

    Fortnite has become more than just a Battle Royale; it is a digital museum of pop culture. Adding a Cartoon Network heavyweight like Ben 10 proves that Epic is leaning harder into the “Millennial and Gen Z nostalgia” market. For a franchise built on the concept of “transforming” to suit your environment, Ben 10 fits the Fortnite DNA perfectly.

    Smash into Action: Caromble! Finally Hits Version 1.0 on Steam

    After a decade-long journey through Early Access, the wait is finally over. Crimson Owl Studios has officially launched the full 1.0 version of Caromble!, their highly anticipated 3D physics-based action puzzler.

    A Labor of Love

    The story behind the development is just as compelling as the game itself. The team at Crimson Owl Studios worked on Caromble! part-time through marriages, careers, and fatherhood. Their dedication has resulted in a polished experience that features a comic-book-inspired art style, voice-acted cutscenes, and a driving soundtrack that keeps the energy high.

    “After 10 years in Early Access and nearly 20 years of development, we finally did it. We are so proud to share the full vision of Caromble! with the world.” — Crimson Owl Studios

  • Wuthering Waves Version 3.3: Reverbs From the End of Galaxies – Everything You Need to Know

    Wuthering Waves Version 3.3: Reverbs From the End of Galaxies – Everything You Need to Know

    Kuro Games has officially pulled back the curtain on Version 3.3, titled “Reverbs From the End of Galaxies.” This isn’t just any regular update—it serves as the backdrop for the game’s highly anticipated second anniversary.

    From high-stakes galactic travel to generous community rewards, here is a breakdown of what Rovers can expect when the update drops on 30th April 2026.

    New Resonators: Hiyuki and Denia

    The character roster is expanding with two powerful new 5-Star Resonators, each bringing a unique flair to the battlefield.

    • Hiyuki (5-Star Glacio, Sword): Making her debut in Phase 1, Hiyuki is a member of the Special Response Force. She is a dedicated Main DPS who utilises the power of the “Suzu” to manipulate ice. Her kit revolves around applying “Glacio Chafe” to enemies and shifting between three distinct blade styles.
    • Denia (5-Star Fusion, Rectifier): Arriving in Phase 2, Denia is a versatile Sub-DPS. She can switch between “Fusion Burst” and “Tune Strain” modes, using bubble-like attacks and clawed manifestations to control the field.

    Anniversary Rewards & Events

    To celebrate two years of Wuthering Waves, Kuro Games is being significantly generous. Players can look forward to:

    • 40 Free Pulls: Distributed through various login events and anniversary rewards.
    • Log-in Bonuses: Starting April 30, players can claim 20 Radiant Tides and 10 Crystal Solvents just for showing up.
    • Star Bouncing Event: A themed anniversary event where Rovers transform into pinball figures to battle in new “Persona” forms.
    • Exclusive Cosmetics: A new “Accessory” system is being introduced, allowing for deeper customisation. Players can also earn an exclusive 2nd-anniversary title and avatar.

    Story Expansion and New Regions

    The narrative moves into its most ambitious phase yet. In the quest “Starlights from Yesterdays,” Rover will pilot the Exostrider through the Stridergate into deep Voidspace—a high-concentration zone at the edge of the galaxy—to track down Aemeath and confront the Fractsidus.

    To support this exploration, a new area called Dimmr Plains (connected to the Bjartr Woods) will open up. This underground region is heavily influenced by Threnodian energy, offering a darker, more atmospheric environment to explore.

    Major Collaborations and QoL

    Kuro Games is leaning heavily into partnerships for this milestone. The “Second Coming of Solaris” collab season will feature themed Expedition Motorbike liveries inspired by massive IPs like Resident Evil, PRAGMATA, and even Angry Birds.

  • Divine Retribution Goes Console: Priest Simulator: Vampire Show Lands on PS5 and Xbox

    Divine Retribution Goes Console: Priest Simulator: Vampire Show Lands on PS5 and Xbox

    Get your holy water and shotgun shells ready. Priest Simulator: Vampire Show, the mockumentary action-sandbox that took Steam by storm with its “Very Positive” rating, is finally making its way to consoles.

    Developed by the crazy Polish team at Asmodev and published by Ultimate Games S.A., this isn’t your Sunday school version of the clergy. This is a heavy-metal, blood-soaked trip through the absolute weirdest corners of modern Poland.

    Release Dates & Pricing

    Mark your calendars, because the transition from PC to console is happening right now:

    PlatformRelease DatePrice (Standard)
    PlayStation 5April 16, 2026£15.99 / $19.99
    Xbox Series X|SMay 7, 2026£15.99 / $19.99

    The “Her Ghost” DLC is also launching alongside the console versions for a budget-friendly £2.49 / $2.99.

    What is Priest Simulator: Vampire Show?

    If you ever wondered what would happen if South Park and Postal had a baby that was raised by a black metal band, you’re halfway there. You play as Orlok, a vampire who—through a series of very unfortunate events—ends up assuming the role of a village priest.

    Your goals are simple:

    1. Fight off “shatanistic” hordes.
    2. Renovate your crumbling church (which currently looks more like a landfill).
    3. Administer sacraments (mostly via a telekinetic gauntlet and firearms).
    4. Get your “batoon” back and return to Hell.

    Key Gameplay Features

    • Absurd Combat: Dual-wield divine weapons, including a pitchfork, a massive hammer, and a crucifix that does way more than just look shiny.
    • The Mockumentary Vibe: The story is told through a hilarious, “unprofessional” English dub that leans heavily into the grotesque and the ridiculous.
    • Church Management: Use resources and “Splendour” to fix your temple, unlock confessionals, and deliver sermons to your (mostly) unwilling flock.
    • Exorcisms & Side Hustles: Perform high-stakes exorcisms or engage in bizarre side activities across the sandbox map.
    • Black Metal Soundtrack: Featuring music from the legendary Polish band Gruzja, perfectly setting the tone for your holy rampage.

    Why Console Players Should Care

    With a 94% positive rating on Steam, the game has earned a cult following for its “unhinged” energy. It’s a “eurojank” masterpiece in the best sense—prioritising creative madness and fun over the sterile polish of AAA titles.

    On PS5, the game takes advantage of the DualSense controller, featuring haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support to make every exorcism feel a little more… tactile.

    “Priest Simulator: Vampire Show is a mockumental action game… the absolute weirdest and most messed up simulator in the history of sandbox shooters.” — Ultimate Games S.A.

    TechMash Verdict: If you’re tired of the same old military shooters and want something that will actually make you laugh (and possibly question your sanity), this is a must-buy. It’s crude, it’s loud, and it’s arguably the most fun you can have in a cassock.

    Are you ready to take the confession, or will you be the one sending the sinners to the other side?

  • Lost in the Abyss: Sci-Fi Action RPG ‘2nd EVE’ Hits Early Access

    Lost in the Abyss: Sci-Fi Action RPG ‘2nd EVE’ Hits Early Access

    In the vast, cold reaches of space, something has gone terribly wrong. Developer Gamer Cloud has officially launched their debut title, 2nd EVE, into Early Access, inviting players to step aboard a colony vessel that was supposed to be humanity’s salvation but has instead become a floating nightmare.

    Set in a future where Earth is on a collision course with a shattered Moon, the last of humanity fled on three massive colony ships bound for Proxima B. You play as Sister Superior Zola, a high-ranking officer and psychiatrist tasked with overseeing the mental health of the crew. But when the vessel—the Argos—attempts a hyperspace jump, reality doesn’t just bend; it breaks.

    A Ship Divided by Madness

    The Argos is no longer the pristine beacon of hope it once was. Lost in the “Abyss” of hyperspace, its corridors are now haunted by:

    • Twisted Crew: Survivors who have mutated into nightmare beings.
    • Rogue Machines: Automated security and maintenance bots that now hunt anything with a heartbeat.
    • Spatial Anomalies: Reality-warping tears that make navigating the ship a puzzle in itself.

    Your mission is simple yet harrowing: survive the descent into madness, protect the thousands of colonists still frozen in cryosleep, and uncover the truth behind what hyperspace did to your ship.

    Tactical Souls-like Combat

    Don’t expect a typical “hack-and-slash” experience. 2nd EVE leans into a tactical, 2.5D side-scrolling style that rewards patience and positioning.

    • No Fixed Classes: In a refreshing move, the game ditches rigid class systems. You can adapt Zola’s abilities on the fly—channelling devastating spells, mastering close-quarters staff combat, or picking off threats with ranged precision.
    • Cooldown-Based Strategy: Combat is governed by cooldowns rather than a traditional stamina bar, forcing you to time your parries, dashes, and heavy attacks with surgical precision.
    • Minimalist Design: The UI is stripped back to keep you immersed in the haunting atmosphere, focusing on the flickering lights and distant echoes of the ship rather than cluttered menus.

    The Early Access Roadmap

    The version available now on Steam and the Epic Games Store features the first three chapters of what is planned to be a ten-chapter epic. Gamer Cloud expects the game to remain in Early Access for roughly 10 to 12 months, using player feedback to balance the tactical combat and expand the narrative.

    “As a small, self-funded indie studio, Early Access provides an essential opportunity for us to develop the game alongside our players,” says the developer.

    Launch Details

    • Platforms: PC (Steam / Epic Games Store)
    • Price: £12.79 / $14.99 (currently featuring a 10% launch discount)
    • Technical: Verified for Steam Deck with support for nine languages.

    If you’re a fan of atmospheric sci-fi horror and “Souls-lite” tactical combat, the Argos is waiting for you. Just remember: in hyperspace, even faith might not be enough to save your soul.
