This playtest marks the last chance for players to explore the game’s mechanics and shape its development before it officially rides into PC Early Access on September 25, 2026.

Fully Voice-Acted Storyline: Experience the personal journeys, fears, and hopes of your settlers, brought to life through fully voice-acted dialogue.

Independent publisher Wired Productions and BAFTA-nominated solo developer Tomas Sala have officially said “AHOY!” as ShipShaper: Falconeer Chronicles drops into Steam Early Access.
Set within the captivating ocean world of the Great Ursee—the same universe that birthed The Falconeer and Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles—ShipShaper throws out rigid grids, complex 3D modelling tools, and stressful management loops in favour of pure, tactile creativity.
Shape, Mould, and Sail Your Dreams
ShipShaper is built around a refreshingly simple premise: designing ships should feel good. Instead of stacking block upon block, players use intuitive tools to pull, push, bend, and mould unique maritime vessels. Whether you want to craft realistic fishing boats, majestic tall ships, heavy ironclads, sleek submarines, or absurd naval monstrosities that defy all laws of physics, the choice is entirely yours.
And now, for the first time in Early Access, you don’t just build your ships—you can take them out to sea and sail them.
Key Early Access features include:
Free-Form & Responsive Building: No rigid grids or correct answers—just fluid, intuitive shaping.
Sailing Mechanics: Take your crafted vessels out on the open waters of the Great Ursee and test how they handle.
Diorama & Ship-in-a-Bottle Modes: Showcase your creations in handcrafted virtual dioramas or display them inside a glass bottle.
Steam Workshop Integration: Share your unique naval designs with the community or download vessels made by fellow creators.
More Than Just a Game: Export, 3D Print, & Commercial Use
What truly sets ShipShaper apart is its incredible versatility for creators. Tomas Sala isn’t keeping your designs locked inside the game; ShipShaper offers a free commercial license, giving players, modders, and indie developers total freedom to use their designs in outside projects.
Export to FBX: Export complete 3D models directly for use in game engines or other creative software.
Cross-Game Compatibility: Bring your flagship directly into Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles.
3D Printing Ready: Prepare your models for external software and bring your digital fleet into the physical world.
A Seven-Year Journey Ahead
The launch of ShipShaper marks the next chapter in Wired Productions and Tomas Sala’s long-standing partnership, following a recently signed seven-year publishing agreement. The deal gives Sala the complete creative freedom to expand the Falconeer universe and explore new, unconventional ideas, with Wired backing him every step of the way.
“I can build ships all day, but the real magic happens when I hand the tools to players and they make something I would never have thought of,” says creator Tomas Sala. “ShipShaper is about throwing the shipyard doors open, adding more tools, and seeing just how far people can take it.”
ShipShaper: Falconeer Chronicles is available now on Steam Early Access for $8.99 (with a limited-time 10% launch discount). Grab your tools, fire up your imagination, and start shaping the fleet of your dreams today!
Solo developer L0rne has officially dropped the announcement trailer for Teufelskreis, an upcoming mystery-driven roguelite deckbuilder that transforms classic roulette into a high-stakes tactical battle against a possessed corporate AI.
German for “devil’s circle,” Teufelskreis plunges players into the eerie, high-pressure world of OPCORP. After a routine trip to the company archives leads you to a mysterious terminal, you find yourself locked in and forced to fulfil an impossible quota—or face termination. Your only way to survive? Gamble your way out of your employment contract by taking on the house at its own sinister game.
Spin the Wheel, Bend the Odds
Unlike traditional deckbuilders that rely purely on card combat, Teufelskreis centres its gameplay around a wheel of fortune with a deadly twist:
Tactical Tarot Mechanics: Place your wagers on the table, then use a customizable tarot deck to manipulate the odds, alter payouts, and overwrite the game’s rules before the ball drops.
An Adversary That Bets Back: You aren’t just playing against chance. The corrupted corporate AI places its own wagers—targeting colours, numbers, or full columns—and actively corrupts the table to make meeting your quotas nearly impossible.
Deck Engine Building: Draft, upgrade, and thin out your tarot deck between rounds. Pair your cards with rule-bending, permanent artefacts to create game-breaking combos where a single spin can turn into a massive payout.
Corporate Mystery & Exploration: Between high-stress roulette matches, step away from the table to inspect your creepy surroundings. Solve escape-room-style puzzles, search rooms, and piece together OPCORP’s dark backstory through archived emails and employee logs.
Drawing aesthetic and thematic comparisons to hit indie titles like Inscryption and Buckshot Roulette, Teufelskreis promises an immersive, unsettling atmosphere rounded out by an original soundtrack from composer Alex Peipman.
Check out the official announcement trailer on Steam to get a glimpse of the table in action and see if you have what it takes to break the wheel.
Teufelskreis is currently in development for Windows, macOS, and Linux PC, and is available to wishlist on Steam now.
Get ready to bring down the house—literally—with your crew! Tuxedo Labs has officially announced that Teardown’s massive multiplayer update is heading to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 15.
Marking the largest update for console players to date, this release transforms the beloved voxel destruction sandbox into a shared playground for chaos, strategy, and teamwork.
What’s Coming in the Update? – Co-Op Campaign Heists: Assemble your squad to plan and execute the perfect heists. Work together (or accidentally ruin each other’s plans) throughout the original base game’s campaign using the power of total physical destruction.
Versus & Custom Game Modes: Take the competition up a notch with hundreds of developer- and community-made multiplayer game modes. Whether you want to test your reflexes or race through custom-built obstacle courses, there’s endless replayability waiting.
Mod Pack 6 Drops Simultaneously: To make the update even sweeter, Mod Pack 6 releases on the exact same day. This pack delivers 30 brand-new, multiplayer-compatible mods directly to console players, unlocking even more creative weapons, vehicles, and tools for your wrecking crew.
Whether you’re looking to meticulously plan a heist or just blow up buildings with your friends, September 15 is set to be a game-changer for console destruction enthusiasts. Grab your tools, prep your squad, and get ready for pure, unadulterated voxel mayhem!
If you have a soft spot for retro-futuristic hardware, tactile control panels, and grim sci-fi narratives, put Terminal Reign on your radar.
Developed by UK-based solo developer JuhrJuhr (the developer behind Deep Space Exploitation and Directory Dungeon), Terminal Reign is an upcoming diegetic interface simulator that plunges players into the command desk of a remote-operated, heavily armoured war machine.
A Crumbling Galactic Order
The premise sets a bleak, atmospheric tone: A vast, millennia-old empire is slowly collapsing. At its centre sits a half-deranged emperor whose multi-century reign is unravelling as aggressive neighbouring kingdoms push against its borders.
Desperate to hold onto power, the regime presses everyday citizens into servitude. Your task? Operate the empire’s decaying arsenal of remote-controlled armoured vehicles to defend its borders and carry out the arbitrary, lethal whims of its ruling class.
Tactile Controls and High-Stakes Simulation
Unlike traditional action games where you directly control a vehicle from a third-person camera or sleek modern HUD, Terminal Reign grounds its experience in immersion. You sit in front of a physical command desk constructed from retro modules, switches, screens, and physical documentation.
Key features announced for the game include:
Immersive Diegetic Interface: Interact directly with physical in-game devices, retro screens, and physical manuals.
Tactical Remote Warfare: Command remote armoured vehicles on high-stakes missions against encroaching enemy forces.
Complex Module Mechanics: Consult manuals and technical documentation to master the idiosyncrasies, quirks, and failures of your equipment.
Customizable Command Station: Configure your command desk and calibrate your remote vehicle to suit your specific tactical approach.
Navigate Imperial Politics: Complete missions, remain in favour with the crumbling regime, and manage your setup to survive the dangers of an unpredictable empire.
Blurring the lines between simulation, tactics, and roguelite progression, Terminal Reign promises a tense, brainy challenge for fans of sci-fi intrigue and tactile UI management.
Terminal Reign is currently in development for PC, with Steam and itch.io store pages now live.
You prayed. GWAR heard. And now, they’re coming to tear the gridiron apart.
Digital Dreams Entertainment Inc. has officially announced a match made in heavy metal hell: Mutant Football League 2: Antarctica Scumdogs. This upcoming, blood-soaked DLC pack brings the iconic, boundary-breaking shock-rock band directly into the chaotic world of arcade football.
The expansion is officially set to hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam in October 2026.
The Scumdogs Hit the Frozen Tundra
For over three decades, GWAR has delivered a legendary cocktail of heavy metal, outrageous sci-fi mythology, and over-the-top stage gore. Now, they’re taking their violent theatricality to a stadium near you—complete with goalposts, buzzsaws, and brutal tackle mechanics.
Mutant Football League 2 is already famous for its disregard for traditional sportsmanship. Referees are routinely murdered, dirty tricks are encouraged, and a single mistake can leave players dismembered in environmental hazards. It’s the ultimate nightmare playground, and fittingly, it marks GWAR’s first official video game appearance in over 30 years.
GWAR frontman Blöthar the Berserker sounded off on the apocalyptic crossover:
“Today, the Antarctica Scumdogs of GWAR take to the frozen tundra of the Mutant Football League, where killing isn’t everything, it’s the ONLY thing! Let the games begin!!”
Meet the Roster & New Venue
Designed to be the most physically destructive team in the game, the Antarctica Scumdogs lineup features GWAR’s legendary members in custom positions tailored to maximum carnage:
Blöthar the Berserker – Quarterback
JiZMak Da Gusha – Running Back
BälSäc the Jaws ‘O Death – Bruise Receiver
Grodius Maximus – Wide Receiver
Beefcake the Mighty – Linebasher
Sawborg Destructo – Blitzer
Bonesnapper – Guard
Alongside the fearsome lineup, players will get to battle it out in a brand-new stadium heavily steeped in GWAR lore, featuring unique traps, hazards, and unannounced surprises saved for the launch.
Play It Early at PAX West
Gamers won’t have to wait until October to catch a glimpse of the carnage. The Antarctica Scumdogs DLC will make its world-first playable debut at PAX West in Seattle (Sept 4–7, 2026) at the Digital Dreams Entertainment booth (Arch Building, Level 4, Booth #853).
Attendees will also have the chance to enter a daily raffle for the ultimate prize: getting immortalised inside the game as a playable member of the Antarctica Scumdogs team!
Get ready to gear up, sharpen your cleats, and prepare for pure gridiron gore this October.

Space pilots, take your seats and lock in your coordinates. Following the recent shadow drop of EVERSPACE 2: Galactic Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2, developer ROCKFISH Games has officially capped off its ambitious eight-year journey.
The studio has released a final, comprehensive technical update across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. Packed with performance optimisations, Steam Deck Verification, highly requested community bug fixes, and a massive celebratory franchise sale on Steam, this patch serves as the perfect victory lap for one of the most beloved single-player space action RPGs of recent years.
Here is everything you need to know about the final chapter of EVERSPACE 2 and what’s next for ROCKFISH Games.
A Worthy Send-off: What’s in the Final Technical Update?
While the core story and expansion content for EVERSPACE 2 wrapped up with Wrath of the Ancients, the dev team didn’t want to fly off into the sunset without giving all existing platforms one last coat of polish.
Much of the fine-tuning done behind the scenes to get EVERSPACE 2 running smoothly for its Nintendo Switch 2 launch has trickled down into this cross-platform update. Key highlights include:
Steam Deck Verified Status: On-the-go space combat just got a massive upgrade. The update introduces handheld-specific UI adjustments, making text, menus, and HUD elements far easier to read on smaller screens like the Steam Deck.
Console Optimisations: Players on console—especially Xbox Series S owners—will notice a smoother ride. Hardware optimisations developed alongside porting partner Engine Software bring improved frame pacing and overall performance stability.
Quality-of-Life & Bug Fixes: ROCKFISH Games combed through player feedback to squelch remaining bugs, adjust lighting anomalies, tweak UI responsiveness, and implement minor quality-of-life feature requests from the community.
The End of an 8-Year Odyssey
The release marks a poignant milestone for the Hamburg-based studio.
“This technical update caps off an eight-year journey with EVERSPACE 2. Our vision for an open-world spaceship action RPG began alongside the founding of our studio more than a decade ago and was realized in this ambitious project,”said Michael Schade, CEO and Co-Founder of ROCKFISH Games.
From its early Kickstarter days to its Early Access debut in 2021 and its massive full launch, EVERSPACE 2 has earned critical acclaim for its fast-paced dogfights, rich loot system, handcrafted star systems, and gripping campaign.
Barring any emergency hotfixes, this patch marks the official conclusion of post-launch development for EVERSPACE 2.
What’s Next for ROCKFISH Games?
If you’re worried this is the end of the line for fans of deep space dogfighting, don’t unbuckle your flight harness just yet.
ROCKFISH Games has confirmed that while EVERSPACE 2 is content-complete, the team is far from done with sci-fi adventures. Backed by a prestigious €8 million development grant from the German government, the 30-person independent studio has already shifted its primary focus to a brand-new project set within the EVERSPACE universe.
While details remain strictly under wraps for now, fans can expect the team to deliver another action-packed space adventure down the road.
Celebrate with the EVERSPACE Steam Sale!
To mark the update and say thank you to their dedicated community, ROCKFISH Games has launched a limited-time Steam Franchise Sale.
Whether you are looking to dive into EVERSPACE 2 for the very first time, pick up massive story expansions like Titans or the award-winning Wrath of the Ancients, or grab the rogue-lite original EVERSPACE, discounts across the entire franchise make now the ultimate time to jump into the cockpit.
Check out the update patch notes on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation, grab your Steam Deck, and enjoy the definitive way to play EVERSPACE 2.
