  • Space Engineers: Apex Survival now available on PC Xbox and PlayStation

    Space Engineers: Apex Survival now available on PC Xbox and PlayStation

    “Space Engineers: Apex Survival” is a major free update for the game Space Engineers, which launched on September 8, 2025. This update is centred around overhauling and expanding the survival mechanics of the game, making it a more challenging and immersive experience.

    https://www.spaceengineersgame.com/space-engineers-apex-survival-live-now/

    Here are some of the key features introduced in the Apex Survival update:

    Food and Farming: A new food system has been added. Players must now manage their hunger by finding, hunting, or growing food. You can forage for wild plants, hunt animals for meat, and cultivate crops using new blocks like Farm Plots, Algae Farms, and Irrigation Systems. A Food Processor block is used to craft more advanced and nutritious meals from various ingredients.

    Environmental Hazards: The world of Space Engineers is now more dangerous. The update adds a variety of environmental threats, including:

    Radiation: This can come from multiple sources, such as damaged reactors, certain planetary atmospheres, and unique storms. There are new ways to combat radiation, including a special Anti-Radiation Med Kit.

    Overhauled Weather: Weather effects are no longer just cosmetic. They can now directly impact your survival. For example, caustic rain can damage players, extreme temperatures drain suit energy, and electric storms can be both a source of radiation and damage.

    Reworked Meteors: Meteors no longer directly target grids. Instead, they pass through the area, adding a new atmospheric and visual element to the game.

    Meaningful Death and Buffs: The update introduces consequences for dying. A new world option called “Reduced Stats on Respawn” will start your character at just 20% health and other vitals, making death something to actively avoid. Conversely, a new “Survival Buffs” system rewards players who stay alive, granting them powerful bonuses over time.

    New Random Encounters: The update includes 30 new, handcrafted random encounters to replace the older ones. These new scenarios are designed to be more dynamic and unique, providing fresh opportunities for exploration and challenges.

    New Blocks: The free update comes with new blocks for the base game, including the Farm Plot, Food Processor, and various farming-related items.

    Apex Survival Pack (DLC) Alongside the free update, Keen Software House released the Apex Survival Pack as a paid DLC. This pack is purely cosmetic and offers a collection of decorative blocks to help players build more immersive and visually appealing survival outposts. The pack is not “pay to win,” and owning it does not give you any gameplay advantage over other players. It includes items such as:

    New variants of tools (Welder Type II, Grinder Type II, Drill Type II)

    Decorative farming and life-support blocks (Half Oxygen Farm, Half Algae Farm, Inset Terrariums)

    New decorative and utility blocks (Storage Bin Set, Conduit Set, Warning Signs)

  • New gameplay trailer for Voidling Bound

    New gameplay trailer for Voidling Bound

    “Voidling Bound” is an upcoming monster-taming action RPG and third-person shooter developed and published by the indie studio Hatchery Games. The studio is notable for being composed of former developers who worked on the Skylanders franchise.

    Game Overview:

    Genre: It’s an action-packed, third-person sci-fi shooter with a strong emphasis on monster taming, evolution, and customisation. It’s been described by players as a blend of games like Spore and Warframe.

    Plot: The game’s story revolves around a future where humanity is threatened by a devastating parasite. You play as a “Space Wrangler” who must team up with recently discovered creatures called “Voidlings” and use a neural bond to fight for survival.

    Gameplay Mechanics:

    Direct Control: A key feature that sets it apart from traditional monster-taming games is that you directly control your Voidlings in real-time combat.

    Evolution and Customisation: You can evolve your Voidlings through branching paths, which change their appearance, elemental alignment, abilities, and playstyle.

    Splicing and Breeding: The game features a deep “splicing” system where you can use a gene collection to craft unique Voidlings with powerful synergies. You can also breed them to combine attributes and natures.

    Action Combat: The combat is described as a high-octane mix of shooting, slashing, and using powerful abilities.

    Release: The game is planned for a Q1 2026 release on PC via Steam. It is also set to come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date. A demo is currently available on Steam.

    Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is out now

    Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a third-person mech-action game developed by Marvelous First Studio and a direct sequel to the 2019 title, Daemon X Machina. Released on September 5, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, the game marks a significant shift for the series by moving from mission-based stages to a more open-world structure.

    https://marvelousgames.com/games/daemon-x-machina-titanic-scion

    Key Gameplay Features: Fast-Paced Action: The game replaces the bulky mechs of its predecessor with more nimble and agile “Arsenal” suits. This leads to a faster, more fluid combat experience with an emphasis on aerial dogfights and high-speed manoeuvres.

    Deep Customisation: A central element of the gameplay is a robust customisation system. Players can loot parts and weapons from defeated enemies to create and fine-tune their mech. The game also includes cosmetic customisation, allowing for personalised armour appearance with decals and colour schemes.

    Open World and Exploration: The game world is a vast, explorable wasteland where players can freely move on foot, fly through the skies, or even ride vehicles like a motorcycle or horse-like creatures. This open structure offers both main story missions and a variety of side activities, including a coliseum for one-on-one battles and hidden areas with rare loot.

    Co-op Multiplayer: Players can team up with up to two friends online to take on the main story and the game’s “titanic” boss battles.

    Loot and Progression: The core gameplay loop revolves around fighting enemies to acquire new parts and currency. The “Fusion” system allows players to alter their character’s genetics to unlock new skills and passive buffs, adding a layer of depth to character progression.

    Story and Narrative: The story is set hundreds of years after the original game and follows a new protagonist, a pilot fighting for a human resistance group against a military regime of “Outers” (mutated humans). The narrative is fully voice-acted and is designed to be accessible to new players.
