  • STONE, SOUL, AND SWORD — GRIME II COMES TO NINTENDO SWITCH & SWITCH 2 NOVEMBER 26

    STONE, SOUL, AND SWORD — GRIME II COMES TO NINTENDO SWITCH & SWITCH 2 NOVEMBER 26

    The beautifully haunting metroidvania sequel is heading to Nintendo’s family of consoles. UK publisher Kwalee and independent studio Clover Bite have confirmed that Grime II will launch digitally on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 across the UK and worldwide on November 26, 2026, bringing its surreal, stone-born world to handheld and docked players alike.

    And that’s not all — the announcement arrives alongside a major free content update for all platforms, meaning every version of the game just got bigger.

    THE WORLD THAT STONE BUILT — WHAT IS GRIME II?

    For those new to the series, Grime burst onto the scene in 2021 — a dark, atmospheric metroidvania where you play as the “Formless,” a being born from a mysterious mask who absorbs enemies to grow stronger. Its defining mechanic? Destroy foes, absorb their essence, and use their own attacks against them. It was haunting, clever, and deeply memorable — earning widespread critical praise and a fiercely loyal fanbase.

    Grime II expands that vision into something even stranger and more ambitious:

    • A vast, interconnected world of bizarre, organic architecture — think towering pillars, cavernous cathedrals, and bioluminescent depths
    • Evolved combat where timing, absorption, and form-shifting remain at the core
    • New abilities, traversal options, and hidden paths that reward thorough exploration
    • A story that delves deeper into the mysteries of the Mask, the Void, and the fate of the world itself

    “A FINAL CODA” — FREE UPDATE ARRIVES ON ALL PLATFORMS

    Whether you’re playing on Nintendo consoles, PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S, a substantial free update lands alongside the Switch release — and it’s a big one:

    A Final Coda — Story Conclusion

    • An entirely new area unlocked after beating the main campaign
    • Resolves the lingering story thread left hanging since the original Grime
    • Features punishing platforming sections designed to test every skill you’ve mastered

    Boss Rematch System

    • Revisit and refight any defeated boss whenever you wish
    • Perfect your strategies, try different builds, or just enjoy those spectacular encounters again

    All of this — including the new story chapter — is included at no extra cost on Switch, Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

    THE TECHMASH TAKE

    Grime was one of those quiet gems that everyone who played it swore by — and Grime II has already proven itself a worthy follow-up on other platforms. Bringing it to both Switch and Switch 2 simultaneously is a smart move too: play it handheld on the go, or docked on your TV with crisp performance.

    With a full story epilogue and boss replay mode thrown in for free on every platform, this is the perfect time to dive in — whether you’re returning to see how it all ends, or stepping into this mesmerising world for the very first time. The mask awaits — will you absorb the world, or let it crumble around you?

  • BRIGHTSTONE CALLS AGAIN — INNER VOICE UNLEASHES FREE LAST DREAM UPDATE

    BRIGHTSTONE CALLS AGAIN — INNER VOICE UNLEASHES FREE LAST DREAM UPDATE

    Brightstone was never meant to be left.

    Dionous Games and X Interactive have officially released the Last Dream Update for Inner Voice — returning players to the shadow-haunted streets of the decaying town, where fresh secrets wait to be unearthed and new horrors stir in the quiet. It’s live right now on Steam — and completely free for all owners.

    What Is Inner Voice? — Grief Has a Voice

    You are Booker, a man adrift with sorrow. Your wife Diana has vanished, and your search leads you to Brightstone — a half-forgotten, dreamlike place where time bends, memories blur, and nothing is quite what it seems. A mysterious voice both guides you and gnaws at you — is it a comfort, or a trap?

    There are no weapons, no combat. Your tools are attention, patience, and courage. Every shadow hides a story — and every truth carries a cost.

    What the Last Dream Update Brings — New Fears, New Secrets

    The darkness of Brightstone has grown deeper. Here’s what awaits:

    • Two brand-new puzzles — woven into the fabric of the town, expanding exploration and digging deeper into Brightstone’s buried past
    • 10+ fresh moments of dread — new scares, chilling encounters, and unsettling surprises that strike whether you’re returning or stepping into this nightmare for the very first time
    • Polished gameplay flow — quality-of-life refinements across the board, making movement, discovery, and immersion smoother and more absorbing than ever

    “The darkness of Brightstone has grown. I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make Inner Voice an even more immersive and unsettling experience — and this update is the result.”

    — Nikos Chronopoulos, solo developer at X Interactive

    Return to the Silence — Available Now

    The Last Dream Update rolls out at no extra charge to every Inner Voice owner on Steam. Already have the game? Just launch it — the new content is there. Curious to step into Brightstone for the first time? The game is also 35% off on Steam through November 2, making it the perfect moment to begin your search.

    The voice is louder now. The shadows stretch further. Brightstone is waiting — and it won’t let you go this time.

  • BREAK THE META — AETHERMANCER UNLEASHES MAVERICK’S COMPENDIUM UPDATE, FREE ON STEAM

    BREAK THE META — AETHERMANCER UNLEASHES MAVERICK’S COMPENDIUM UPDATE, FREE ON STEAM

    offbrand games — creators behind Demon Bluff, Ultrapool, Rivals of Aether II — and moi rai games — the studio that brought you Monster Sanctuary — have teamed up to launch Maverick’s Compendium, the massive third free content update for monster-taming roguelike Aethermancer, available right now in Early Access on Steam.

    Rewriting the rules of party building, welcoming a crossover hero, and giving players powerful new ways to track their progress — this update isn’t just more content. It’s a fresh invitation to play differently.

    What Is Aethermancer? — Catch, Command, Conquer the Fractured Ruins

    Launched in September 2025 in Steam Early Access, Aethermancer blends monster collection with roguelike depth — every run takes you into the shifting Fractured Ruins, where you recruit and evolve a party of beasts, forge powerful synergies between them, and face escalating challenges. No two descents are the same, and the team composition you build defines your survival.

    Until now, smart players leaned into matching monster types for maximum synergy. Maverick’s Compendium turns that strategy on its head.

    Headline Feature — The Aether Maverick: Diversity Is Strength

    The biggest addition is the Aether Maverick, the game’s third playable class — and a complete reimagining of how you build your squad.

    While other classes reward stacking matching types for combined effects, the Maverick does the opposite: the more diverse your party, the stronger you become.

    • 6 distinct Types ? Higher chance of exclusive Maverick Skills appearing on level-up
    • 9 distinct Types ? Free monster reactivation every 2 rounds — potentially game-changing in tight fights
    • Unique buffs scale directly with variety — oddball, off-meta parties are now the optimal path to victory

    “Where the Aether Tamer seeks perfect harmony, the Maverick thrives on glorious chaos. Mix everything, watch it explode — and win.”

    — offbrand games & moi rai games

    Two New Beasts — Community Spirit Meets Rivals Crossover

    Kragg — The Rock-Solid Visitor

    Making the leap from Rivals of Aether — offbrand’s beloved platform fighter — Kragg brings his earth-shaking power to the Aethermancer roster. Stubborn, sturdy, and capable of dominating the frontline, he’s the first crossover monster to join the fray, bridging two universes in style.

    Philosopher’s Stone — Forged by the Fans

    Designed from community submissions and feedback, this shimmering addition is the players’ own creation brought to life. Mysterious and versatile, it rounds out the Alchemical Woods biome — and proves that the community’s ideas shape the game just as much as the developers’.

    Knowledge Is Power — Siriux Journal & Combat Log

    Maverick’s Compendium doesn’t just add things to fight — it gives you the tools to fight smarter:

    • Siriux Journal — A living, growing compendium tracking every monster you meet. Stats, hidden abilities, lore — unlock it all as you explore
    • Combat Log — Missed a proc? Lost track of cooldowns? Now every strike, buff and effect is recorded in detail, letting you review, refine and perfect your tactics
    • Plus a full suite of quality-of-life improvements — smoother navigation, faster load times, and balance passes across all existing classes

    Built to Evolve — A Year of Free Updates

    This marks the third major free update since launch — and the pattern is clear:

    • Alchemist Class — second playable role, with potion-crafting & experimental synergies
    • 12+ New Monsters — expanding tactical options across every run
    • Deity Boss Battles — legendary encounters that test fully built parties
    • Alchemical Woods Biome — entirely new zones, hazards and rewards
    • Maverick’s Compendium — and now, diversity-driven gameplay

    All free. No DLC paywalls. No premium gates.

    “When you buy Aethermancer, you’re not buying a static product — you’re joining a development journey. Every major update stays free, because this game grows with its players, not at their expense.”

    — moi rai games

    Ready to Rewrite the Rules?

    Maverick’s Compendium is live right now on Steam — automatically added for all Early Access owners at no extra cost. Grab the game, update your client, and step into the Ruins with a brand-new way to play.

    Break the synergy. Embrace the chaos. Become the Maverick.

    ABSURD GUNS, NO LIMITS — NIMRODS: Endless Bloom Drops as Free 2nd Anniversary Update, Biggest Yet

    Two years to the day since launching into Early Access, indie studio Fiveamp has unleashed Endless Bloom — the largest, most feature-packed update yet for chaotic modular-gun roguelite shooter NIMRODS. It’s live right now on Steam, completely free for all owners.

    Build Ridiculous Weapons — Fight Through Alien Worlds

    NIMRODS turns you into a weapons engineer on the fly: scavenge modular parts across alien-infested planets and snap them together to create wildly overpowered, utterly absurd firearms. Every run means a new monstrosity of your own making — and Endless Bloom gives you more ways than ever to build, break, and blast.

    What’s Blooming? Full Breakdown

    Endless Mode — The Run Never Has to End

    The most requested feature in the game’s history is here: beat the final boss, and choose to end your run — or keep going with no level cap. Beyond the end lie Bonewalkers, Cinderskulls, Duskwraiths, and the nightmarish Ossuary — enemies designed to test even your most broken builds.

    Violet Forest — Brand-New Biome

    The south of the map has bloomed into a luminous, fungal wilderness teeming with unique threats, minibosses, and a fearsome final boss to conquer. Every corner brings new ways to die — and new parts to make you unstoppable.

    Meet Bubba — New NIMROD Character

    A brand-new operative joins the roster: Bubba, an overheal specialist who literally feeds on excess health to grow stronger. He’s hungry — and he’s ready to tank for the team.

    More Firepower Than Ever

    • Two brand-new guns plus a fan-favourite returning from retirement
    • Ten fresh augments to twist your build in wild new directions
    • Every existing augment rebalanced for a fresh feel across all loadouts
    • Three new Airdrop Pods + six completely reworked ones
    • Full economy, mission, and XP progression rebuilt from scratch
    • Distinct attack patterns for bosses Malphor, Mush, and Titanus — no more same-old fights

    Leaderboards & Achievements

    • Steam Leaderboards — compare your most absurd runs with friends and the world via the new Leaderboard Station on your Homeship
    • New Achievements to hunt down
    • Gundex Medals — earn across five tiers for every gun, augment, character, and Pod you master, with detailed play-tracking Logs

    Quality of Life Overhaul

    Save slots, fully rebindable keys, custom gun naming, on-screen controller cursor support — the list goes on, all shaped by player feedback from Discord and Steam.

    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

    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?

    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.

    Starfield introduces the REV-8 land vehicle

    Travelling around the planet just got a lot easier with the introduction of the REV-8 land transporter thanks to a free update to the Starfield game. This transport has it all, it can fly, take off and land vertically and it is tough enough to take almost anything that this planet can throw at it. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for this update as it is available right now, are you ready to explore more of the planet than ever before?
