  • SHADOWS UNCHAINED — VIHNEEK RISES IN WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR: DEATHMASTER STORY TRAILER

    SHADOWS UNCHAINED — VIHNEEK RISES IN WARHAMMER AGE OF SIGMAR: DEATHMASTER STORY TRAILER

    Warhammer Day has brought a deadly revelation — Dotemu and developer Old Skull Games have unveiled the official story trailer for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster, casting a spotlight on the grim, blood-soaked quest of Vihneek: a powerless Skaven prisoner determined to carve his way into legend as the ultimate Deathmaster assassin.

    Arriving 2027 on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, this self-contained single-player adventure draws inspiration from the greatest 2D action platformers and stealth classics — and the shadows have never felt more alive.

    From Chains to Contracts — Vihneek’s Dark Ascent

    The trailer introduces Vihneek, a downtrodden Skaven prisoner with nothing but a burning obsession: to rise through the ranks and become the most feared Deathmaster in Clan Eshin history. Freed — and immediately pressed into service — by the cunning assassin Skiteek, Vihneek is thrust into a world of lethal contracts, backstabbing rivals, and a crumbling underground realm where every strike must count.

    • Every kill advances his standing — eliminate targets, climb the hierarchy, earn the title he craves
    • A clan rotting from within — betrayal festers at every level; trust no one, strike without hesitation
    • The threat never lets up — hostile clans and encroaching corruption close in from all sides
    • Will to power — Vihneek is small, weak, and alone… but his hunger is unmatched

    Sneak. Strike. Survive — Gameplay That Rewards Shadows

    Deathmaster blends fluid 2D platforming with tense, rewarding stealth — capturing the essence of classics while carving its own brutal path:

    • Skulk unseen — lurk in darkness, slip past patrols, and use every shadow as a weapon
    • Set deadly traps — turn the environment against foes and thin their ranks silently
    • Brutal executions — close in, strike fast, and vanish before the body hits the ground
    • Grim, decaying world — navigate a subterranean labyrinth of rot, paranoia, and crumbling splendour

    “Escape, Kill, Ascend and Become a Deathmaster” — that is the path laid before him.

Whether you’re a lifelong Warhammer fan or just love a sharp, stealth-driven platformer, Deathmaster promises one thing above all: in the dark, the smallest rat can bite deepest.

    May the Horned Rat be pleased.

    Target Acquired — Hitman: Absolution Goes Physical on Nintendo Switch 2 via Limited Run Games

    Silence. Precision. Perfection. Limited Run Games, the premium publisher renowned for coveted physical editions of beloved games, has today announced that Agent 47 is making his mark on Nintendo Switch 2 — with a brand-new physical release of Hitman: Absolution. Pre-orders go live October 30, 2026, giving collectors and fans the chance to secure a permanent piece of the assassin’s legacy.

    The Assignment — What You’re Getting

    Originally developed by IO Interactive, ported by Feral Interactive, and now preserved in physical form by Limited Run Games, Hitman: Absolution brings the series’ signature stealth, action, and moral ambiguity to Nintendo’s latest hardware. Branded a traitor and hunted by the very Agency he once served, Agent 47 must navigate a world of corruption, betrayal, and impossible choices across 20 distinct missions — each one inviting you to play your way:

    • Silence is your weapon — slip through shadows, use disguises, eliminate targets without a trace
    • Force is an option — when stealth fails, your Silverballer pistols speak loud and clear
    • Five difficulty levels — from accessible to ruthlessly unforgiving
    • Gyro aiming — precision control built specifically for Nintendo platforms
    • Contracts Mode — create, share, and take on custom targets designed by players worldwide
    • Dual-compatible cartridge — plays on original Nintendo Switch and upgrades for Switch 2

    Why It Matters — Preserving the Legacy

This physical edition ensures Absolution — with its cinematic story, memorable setpieces, and Contracts Mode — remains accessible in tangible form. Limited Run Games has become the custodian of choice for such releases, bridging digital convenience with the permanence collectors demand.

    Digital Also Available

    For players who prefer instant gratification, the digital edition launched simultaneously on the Nintendo eShop today, carrying a launch discount of 33% for the first two weeks. But for the shelf, the collection, and the future — the physical Limited Run release is the definitive way to own it.

  • No Weapons, No Retreat — Over Human: Where the World Turns Against You

    No Weapons, No Retreat — Over Human: Where the World Turns Against You

    You can’t fight them. You can only outsmart them. Solo developer Francesco Morganti has unveiled Over Human, a haunting first-person sci-fi adventure set in a frozen, isolated world where drones have taken control — and they don’t just hunt you. They change the very environment around you.

    What Is Over Human?

    You awaken in a silent, snow-smothered landscape. Humanity is gone — or hiding. Drones, once built to serve, now rule. And you have no weapons. No guns, no explosives, no way to fight back. Survival means moving unseen, disrupting their network, and uncovering what went wrong — but every step you take makes them more dangerous.

    • Explore a frozen, isolated world — traverse vast snowy wilderness, abandoned outposts, and silent valleys
    • Disrupt transmission terminals — hack and disable the drones’ communication network to weaken their grip
    • No combat — only stealth — use cover, distractions, and the environment to stay hidden
    • The world fights back — as you progress, drones get faster, smarter, deadlier. Storms worsen. Visibility shifts. The terrain itself becomes more hostile
    • Uncover humanity’s fate — piece together logs, notes, and ruins to learn why the drones turned and what happened to everyone else

    The Mechanic: Progress = Danger

    This is what makes Over Human unique: your success triggers the escalation. Every terminal you disable makes the drones adapt. They patrol differently, coordinate better, and even alter the weather to flush you out. There’s no “safe zone” — only the next place to hide.

    “They don’t just hunt you — they control the world. And as you weaken their hold, they tighten their grip.” — Francesco Morganti

    Why It Stands Out

    In a genre flooded with shooters, Over Human dares to strip away your firepower:

    • Defence > Offence — your brain is your only weapon
    • Atmosphere over action — quiet tension, not constant adrenaline
    • Solo passion project — crafted entirely by one developer over roughly one year
    • Dynamic world — weather and threats evolve with your choices
    • Story-driven — a narrative mystery about control, loss, and what remains of us

    Wishlist now on Steam and keep an eye out for the November demo. The snow is falling. The drones are watching. Good luck.

  • Accidental Cult Member WanderersTip: Sneak, Blend, Decide Their Fate!

    Accidental Cult Member WanderersTip: Sneak, Blend, Decide Their Fate!

    You didn’t mean to join a cult — but now you’re in too deep! Developer CuriousQuestor is thrilled to unveil WanderersTip, a charmingly quirky stealth adventure where you stumble into a secretive island group obsessed with being “happy ducks,” and your choices will shape everything — from your escape to the cult’s very survival.

    What Is WanderersTip?

    It starts with a wrong turn and ends with you fully initiated — mostly by accident. Stranded on a mysterious island, you find yourself swept into a cult that takes ducks very seriously. Your goal? Earn your way onto the only boat off the island — all while figuring out what’s really going on behind the cheerful chants and feathered fanaticism.

    Here’s how it plays:

    • Blend in with the flock — act as if you belong, or suspicion grows fast
    • Stealth through twisting mazes — stay out of sight, use cover, watch patrol patterns
    • Smart enemies — foes remember faces and talk to each other; get spotted once, word spreads
    • Fight or flee — when stealth fails, stand your ground or duck for cover
    • Your choices decide everything — help the cult thrive? Expose their secrets? Lead them astray? Multiple endings mean no two journeys are the same

    The Hook — Humour Meets Heart

    Beneath the feathery jokes and pixel charm lies something deeper: the cult hides secrets that may not be as innocent as they seem. As you explore, you’ll uncover layers — and face decisions that go far beyond simply “escape or stay.” Will you become their most loyal follower? Their greatest downfall? Or something in between?

    “Attack, hide, and duck!” — WanderersTip motto

  • Fore! Breaking Par & Breaking Rules — Really Illegal Golf Unveiled by No More Robots

    Fore! Breaking Par & Breaking Rules — Really Illegal Golf Unveiled by No More Robots

    No More Robots — the publisher behind hits like Descenders, Little Rocket Lab, and Thank You For Your Application — has teamed up with New Zealand studio Pushlab Games to spill the tee on their brand-new multiplayer stealth golf experience: Really Illegal Golf.

    Golf just got a whole lot more dangerous. And a whole lot more fun.

    The Premise: Golf Without Permission

    You and your friends have been kicked out of every respectable golf club in town. Your memberships? Revoked. Your reputation? In tatters. Your love of the game? Undimmed — and now, completely unshackled from rules, dress codes, and closing times.

    So you do what any self-respecting golf fanatic would do: you sneak in. Under cover of night, you turn the city into your personal course — dodging guards, outwitting CCTV, and playing holes in places they definitely don’t belong. From quiet fairways to construction sites, bank vaults, and even restricted military zones — if you can reach it, you can tee off from it.

    How It Plays — Stealth, Strategy, and Slightly Illegal Tactics

    • Play solo or with friends — team up in co-op, or compete to see who can pull off the best crime-and-putt round
    • Sneak or smash — creep past patrols quietly, or use golf balls (and slightly less legal tools) to knock obstacles out of the way and guards off your trail
    • Arm yourself — customise your gear: tasers, distractions, and more are all on hand when a quiet approach just won’t work
    • Ever-more absurd courses — things escalate: what starts as sneaking onto a private green evolves into breaking into high-security zones where the authorities really don’t want you playing
    • Get the ball in the hole — however you can. Tower cranes, rooftops, moving vehicles — every shot is a challenge, and every approach is valid

    Demo Available Now — Full Game Coming 2027

    The announcement dropped during the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct 2026, and you can dive in straight away:

    Some play by the rules. Others just want to play. Grab your clubs, pick your approach, and remember: if you get caught, you were never there.
