    Walk With a Giant — BURGGEIST Steps Onto Switch 2 October 27

    Your fortress has a heartbeat. And soon, it fits in your hands.

    Independent developer and publisher GHRIAN STUDIO has officially announced that BURGGEIST, the towering real?time action?strategy adventure first released on PC via Steam, is marching onto Nintendo Switch 2 — arriving exclusively on the Nintendo eShop Tuesday, 27 October 2026, priced at $12.00.

    Tailored specifically for Switch 2 — with optimised controls, a crisp interface, and performance tuned for both handheld and docked play — this isn’t just a port. It’s the full, soaring experience of building, defending, and roaming the vast highlands of Aliscans, now portable.

    Command Two, Fight as One

    BURGGEIST reimagines strategy through partnership. You play as Étoile, moving freely across the battlefield, while simultaneously issuing orders to Burggeist — a colossal, sentient walking fortress who is your shield, your weapon, your home, and your greatest ally.

    • Dual?control real?time tactics — position Étoile on ridges and plateaus while directing Burggeist to advance, guard, or unleash devastating attacks
    • Height is your strongest weapon — cliffs, valleys, and elevated ground aren’t just scenery; they’re your most powerful advantage
    • Build the Tower, defend the hope — gather resources, raise your spire toward the heavens, and hold back waves of enemies determined to tear it down
    • Seamless open?world exploration — roam Aliscans freely, discovering hidden regions, meeting distinctive NPCs, and finding gear that reshapes how you fight
    • Deep customisation — evolve your abilities and Burggeist’s capabilities to match your preferred playstyle, from aggressive advance to stalwart defence

    A Story Written in Stone and Sky

    Years have passed since Lucile fell into a mysterious, motionless slumber. Her husband Ignace, a mathematician, has searched desperately for a cure — until a message appears out of nowhere in his stepdaughter Étoile’s notebook: “To free Lucile, you shall build a tower that reaches the heavens.”

    That is your mission. That is why Burggeist walks.

    The experience features a fully voiced narrative in both Japanese and Carglish — an original lyrical language created uniquely for this world — alongside text support in English, Japanese, and French.

    From Steam to Switch 2 — Refined, Ready, Yours

    Originally launched on PC in October 2024, BURGGEIST has been rebuilt and polished to shine on Switch 2. Every sweeping vista, tactical clash, and quiet moment of exploration is designed to feel immersive and responsive — whether playing on the go or docked to your TV.

    BURGGEIST launches on Nintendo eShop — tomorrow, 27 October 2026 — $12.00.

  • Light the Beacons! ‘The Gate Must Stand’ Launches on Steam

    Light the Beacons! ‘The Gate Must Stand’ Launches on Steam

    Dark fantasy fans and strategy tacticians, unite! Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games have officially joined forces to unleash The Gate Must Stand onto PC via Steam. Developed by Senmu Studio, this highly anticipated indie title drops players right into the final, desperate defence of the fallen Kingdom of Belrak.

    If you love the chaotic pressure of Survivors-likes, the tactical depth of Tower Defence, and the addictive loop of Action Roguelites, this is the blend you’ve been waiting for.

    Hold the Line Against Impossible Odds

    In The Gate Must Stand, the continent has fallen, the demonic invasion is at your doorstep, and you are the city of Belrak’s absolute last line of defence.

    Unlike traditional tower defence games, where you safely manage lines from a bird’s-eye view, this game puts you right in the thick of the meat grinder. You will control a powerful hero, fighting hand-to-hand alongside your forces to defend a single, critical chokepoint: the city gate.

    Your allies can fall, revive, and regroup, but remember: if the gate falls, it’s game over.

    “Heroes can fall, but the gate must stand.”

    Key Features At A Glance

    • Four Unique Heroes: Take control of diverse archetypes, from savage berserkers to devastating spellcasters, each featuring entirely distinct combat styles.
    • Insane Build Variety: Experiment with 149 Hero Skills and 150 Follower Skills to unlock massive, battlefield-clearing synergies.
    • Evolving Armies: Recruit from 19 base followers and use hard-won demonic relics to mutate them into 38 terrifying Ultimate Forms.
    • Apocalyptic Boss Fights: Face off against brutal demonic bosses every 5 minutes. Defeat them to claim game-changing perks—if you survive.
    • True Roguelite Progression: When your defence inevitably crumbles, use your blood-stained experience to purchase permanent meta-upgrades and fortify your next run.

    Out Now with an Introductory Discount!

    The Gate Must Stand is officially live on Steam for a base price of $9.99 / £8.50. To celebrate the launch, Yogscast and Gamersky are offering a 30% introductory discount, making it the perfect time to grab your sword and rally the troops on a budget. Special bundle deals are also available if you want to pair it with other indie strategic hits!

    Will you adapt, conquer, and keep the horrors at bay? Or will your defences collapse into panic and fire? Head over to Steam, grab your copy, and find out if you have what it takes to make the stand.
