    Full Throttle — Cleared Hot Drops Free Chapter 2: Jungle Storm Update!

    Dust off your rotors — it’s time to head into the trees.

    Developer Not Knowing Corporation and publisher MicroProse Software have launched Chapter 2: Jungle Storm — a massive, free campaign update for their physics-driven helicopter shooter Cleared Hot, available right now on Steam for all owners.

    Nine New Missions. One Lush, Dangerous Jungle.

    Jungle Storm expands the world of Cleared Hot with a brand-new nine-mission campaign featuring playtime on par with Chapter 1, plus a climactic boss encounter you won’t see coming. You’ll fly through dense canopies, battle sudden storms, and face enemies that know exactly how to use the terrain against you.

    What’s New in the Jungle?

    • Two helicopters join the fleet — the Ka-52 Alligator attack craft and the massive MH-53 Pave Low heavy-lift helicopter, both chosen by the community
    • Unique abilities for all 11 helicopters — every chopper now has a signature power reflecting its real-world role; no two fly or fight quite the same way
    • Utility Slot system — equip flares, chaff, EMP bursts, airstrike calls, and smoke grenades; grab them from the world or upgrade them in the hangar
    • Dynamic weather — fly through rain, lightning, and thunder; visibility shifts with the storm
    • Fresh threats — BTR armoured carriers, Shilka anti-aircraft vehicles, gunboats, swift boats, and swarms of deadly drones await
    • Customise your ride — unlock helicopter skins using in-game currency
    • Level editor & mod support — build your own missions and share them with the community via early file-based modding tools
    • Enhanced physics — reworked buoyancy and water interaction, plus a refined weapon overheating system

    Overwhelmingly Positive — and Still Growing

    Since launching in Early Access last November, Cleared Hot has earned Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam — 96% approval across over 3,000 players. Chapter 2 is the game’s biggest update yet, shaped directly by community feedback and delivered at no extra cost.

    Ready to Lift Off?

    Chapter 2: Jungle Storm is live right now — simply launch Cleared Hot to download. The game is also currently 20% off on Steam until 29 October, so new pilots can join the fight at a discount.

    From desert dunes to jungle canopies — the mission continues. Will you answer the call?

    Ride Into the Depths

    The headline feature speaks straight to every explorer’s heart: you can now tame and mount cattle as your very own steed.

No more building endless bridges — just aim, fire, and soar. It’s a game-changer for exploration and opens up hidden corners of the world that were previously out of reach.

    Explore the Moss Sub-Biome

    Deep within the Forgotten Ruins, a lush, mysterious new region has emerged: the Moss sub-biome. Shaded, humid, and brimming with verdant life, it’s home to the sleek, raptor-like Orex cattle — and plenty of secrets waiting to be uncovered. Venture in, gather rare resources, and meet the creatures that make this hidden grove their home.

    Befriend New Companions

    What’s an adventure without friends? The update introduces a host of new pets to befriend, each with their own unique personalities and abilities. Whether you’re looking for a loyal follower or a helpful ally in combat, there’s a new tiny companion waiting to join your underground journey.

    Full Feature Rundown

    • Mounts & Saddles — Ride any cattle; customise names and behaviour
    • Hookshot — Traverse chasms without building bridges
    • Moss Sub-Biome — Lush new area in the Forgotten Ruins
    • New Wildlife — Including the Orex, a striking new mountable creature
    • New Pets — Adorable allies with unique traits
    • Combat & Gear — New weapons, armour, accessories, and enemy types
    • Quality of Life — Summoning reworks, vehicle handling improvements, and more

    Boot up your game, craft your saddle, and see where the path — or your steed — takes you next.

    Chill Out With the Witches: HYKE: Northern Light(s) Drops Free “A Witch’s Chill Time” Update This Week

    If you’ve been braving the frozen wastes and battling through the intense pixel-art world of HYKE: Northern Light(s), it is time to put down the sword and pick up a towel. Aniplex Inc. and Akatsuki Games Inc. have officially announced that their hit 2D top-down action RPG is receiving a major free content update titled “A Witch’s chill time” on April 30th.

    After the heavy lifting of the main campaign, our heroes are heading to the hot springs for some much-needed R&R—but in the world of HYKE, even a vacation comes with its own set of mysteries.

    What’s New in the Forbidden Areas?

    Set after the resolution of the main story, the update finds Hyke and the group guided by an invitation from Aurora into a mysterious new realm. The goal? Creating the “ideal hot spring.” Of course, getting there involves more than just checking into a hotel.

    The “A Witch’s chill time” update brings a healthy dose of new content to the table:

    • A Brand New Story: Explore a post-game narrative focused on tranquillity and teamwork.
    • New Encounters: Meet new characters and face unique challenges tucked away in the hot spring location.
    • Gameplay Elements: Fresh mechanics designed specifically for this new environment.
    • A New Trailer: Aniplex has released a first-look trailer showcasing the beautiful pixel-art hot springs and the cosy vibes awaiting players.

    Where to Play

    The update will be available as a free download across almost all current platforms:

    • PC (via Steam)
    • Nintendo Switch
    • PlayStation 5

    Note for Mobile Gamers: While the update hits consoles and PC on April 30th, the Apple Arcade version is currently slated to receive this content later this year.

    About HYKE: Northern Light(s)

    For those who haven’t dived in yet, HYKE: Northern Light(s) is a gorgeous collaborative project developed by Blast Edge Games. It follows the journey of Hyke, a white-haired girl traversing a world devastated by a historic war between humanity and witches.

    The game stands out for its fluid top-down combat, “Camp” management system, and a striking “dot art” aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and modern.

    Ready to soak in the mystery? Keep an eye on your updates this Thursday, April 30th, and prepare to discover what the witches do when they finally get a chance to relax.

  • Dune: Awakening Chapter 3 Free Update

    Dune: Awakening Chapter 3 Free Update

    Arrakis just got a whole lot bigger—and significantly more forgiving. Chapter 3 of Dune: Awakening is officially live, and it’s being hailed as the game’s most substantial update since launch.

    Whether you’re a hardened survivor of the Deep Desert or a “sleeper” looking to return, here is the breakdown of the biggest changes:

    The “No More Taxes” Revolution

    In a move that has the community cheering, the Emperor has officially abolished base taxation. You no longer need to make regular treks to social hubs to pay CHOAM just to keep your shields powered. Build as big as you want without the constant dread of your base being reclaimed by the storm.

    Combat & Gameplay Overhauls

    New Weapons: Introduce some chaos with the Pyrocket (explosive fun) and Dual Blades for fast-paced, shield-bypassing strikes.

    Rapier Rework: The Rapier has been completely redesigned with a unique, more fluid playstyle.

    Specialisations: You can now invest in five distinct progression paths: Combat, Sabotage, Exploration, Gathering, and Crafting.

    Rebuilt Landsraad & Endgame

    The endgame has been entirely revamped to give you more purpose once you hit Tier 6:

    10 New Locations: Including 5 overland challenge zones and 5 repeatable Imperial Testing Stations with escalating boss difficulty.

    Landsraad Missions: A new repeatable mission system that builds your Faction Rank and Great House Standing.

    Augmentation Station: Customise and power up your Tier 6 gear with the new Augment system to fine-tune your build.

    The “Welcome Back” Gift

    If you haven’t logged in for 28 days or more, Funcom is offering a Return Package. It scales based on your research level and provides enough resources to get a base and vehicle back up and running immediately.

    Note: Launching alongside the free update is the Raiders of the Broken Lands paid DLC (included in the Season Pass), which adds over 70 new Smuggler-themed building pieces and decorations.
