    Order Up! SYDLESS Brings High-Speed Fast-Food Chaos to Steam This May

    If you’ve ever felt like your shift at a fast-food joint was a literal fever dream, Opia Games is about to validate those feelings in the most chaotic way possible. During the Games Made in France 2026 event, the Angoulême-based indie studio officially served up a release date for their highly anticipated movement shooter: SYDLESS is coming to Steam on May 27, 2026.

    The announcement didn’t just come with a date; it arrived with a stunning, fully hand-animated trailer that trades traditional engine footage for raw, ‘90s-inspired aesthetic energy. It’s loud, it’s neon, and it perfectly captures the “anxious-but-stylish” vibe the studio is aiming for.

    Welcome to Randy’s Burgers (From Hell)

    In SYDLESS, you step into the grease-stained shoes of Diego, an overworked employee at Randy’s Burgers. What starts as a gruelling double shift turns into a nightmare when a reality-warping anomaly hits, transforming customers into monsters and the restaurant into a hostile, repeating labyrinth.

    Your goal? Find out why your boss is locked behind a door and, more importantly, get out alive.

    Not Your Average Arsenal

    While most movement shooters hand you a shotgun or a railgun, SYDLESS gives you… a ball. But this isn’t playground equipment. Your primary weapon is a chaotic, unpredictable bouncing ball that functions on a simple, high-stakes rule: the more you move, the deadlier it gets.

    • Momentum is King: Chain together wall-jumps, slides, and dashes to build stylish momentum.
    • The Deadly Ricochet: Punch the ball to send it flying. As your combo builds, the ball’s lethality skyrockets, but so does the difficulty of tracking its trajectory.
    • Equippable Rings: Find and equip rings that grant unique powers to help you survive the burger-joint-turned-abyss.

    Why You Should Have It on Your Radar

    Opia Games has been building momentum (pun intended) since the game’s first reveal at the 2025 AG French Direct. Following a successful demo launch and a standout performance at the February Steam Next Fest, SYDLESS has carved out a niche for players who crave “flow-state” gameplay.

    The game tracks your speed, skill, and efficiency on a per-level basis, complete with leaderboards for those who want to prove they are the fastest employee in the franchise.

    “The whole game is centered around style, so it only made sense to have a stylish trailer for the release date,” says the team at Opia Games.

  • Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted launches May 28th on Steam

    Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted launches May 28th on Steam

    Ready your lasso and keep your trigger finger twitchy, because the most dangerous outlaws in the galaxy are about to have a very bad day.

    Developer Nanuq and publisher Infini Fun have officially announced that Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted, the high-octane co-op action roguelite, is set to launch on Steam for PC on Thursday, May 28.

    Friendships End at the Finish Line

    In the world of Bounty Brawl, you aren’t just a lawman—you’re a cash-hungry mercenary operating out of Hunter Haven. While the game supports up to four players in local or online co-op, don’t get too comfortable with your teammates.

    The game’s most unique hook? The Final Showdown. Once you and your crew successfully take down a massive intergalactic boss, the alliance immediately dissolves. The survivors must turn their weapons on each other in a frantic free-for-all to decide who walks away with the entire bounty. It’s a literal “get rich or die trying” scenario where greed is just as important as skill.

    Fast Combat and Lasso Mastery

    Bounty Brawl distinguishes itself with its core mechanics:

    • The Lasso: Far more than a cosmetic tool, your lasso is your lifeline. Use it to zip across gaps, trigger environmental traps, or execute brutal finishers on staggered targets.
    • Diverse Roster: Choose from eight unique outlaws, including characters like Kyle, the robotic cowboy wielding a heavy revolver, or Xane, who favors up-close-and-personal lethality with her claws.
    • Brevity Meets Depth: Each run is designed as a quick, three-stage affair. This “snackable” roguelite format means you can squeeze in a hunt during a lunch break, though the deep permanent upgrades back at base will keep you coming back for “just one more run.”

    Why It’s on Our Radar

    At TechMash, we love a roguelite that respects the player’s time. Director Nat Rangsarannon noted that the team wanted to solve the “hindrance” of long-time commitments usually required by the genre. By blending the frantic energy of a twin-stick shooter with the social (and anti-social) dynamics of a competitive brawler, Bounty Brawl looks to be a staple for game nights.

    Release Details: > * Release Date: Thursday, May 28, 2026

    • Platform: Steam (PC)
    • Features: Online & Local Co-op (1-4 players), Global Matchmaking, Private Lobbies.

    Will you be splitting the loot or taking it all for yourself? Be sure to wishlist Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted on Steam ahead of its May 28 debut.

  • Uncover the Mystery: Dimhaven – The Lost Source Arrives on Steam this June

    Uncover the Mystery: Dimhaven – The Lost Source Arrives on Steam this June

    The wait is nearly over for fans of atmospheric puzzle-adventures. Today, Budapest-based Zadbox Entertainment and indie publishing powerhouse Blue Brain Games officially announced that the highly anticipated Dimhaven – The Lost Source will launch on PC via Steam in June 2026.

    Coming from the creative minds behind the benchmark adventure title Quern: Undying Thoughts, this new first-person mystery is already a heavy hitter on player wishlists. With over 60,000 fans waiting to step into the mist-shrouded world of Dimhaven, the game promises a blend of “retro-European” aesthetics and the deep, logic-driven puzzles that Zadbox is famous for.

    A Paradise Frozen in Time

    In Dimhaven – The Lost Source, you step into the shoes of Emily Ravenstone. Your journey begins with a personal mission: investigating the mysterious disappearance of your uncle. This quest leads you to the titular island of Dimhaven—a place that once served as a vibrant European-inspired tourist paradise but now stands eerily abandoned.

    “Dimhaven offers a haunting sense of nostalgia—a world that feels both familiar and mysterious.”

    The world-building draws heavily from mid-century European architecture and design, creating a unique “realistic retro” atmosphere. Players will explore:

    • Abandoned tourist sites and crumbling luxury resorts.
    • Eerie natural landscapes hidden behind the mist.
    • Forgotten interiors filled with the remnants of those who vanished.

    Investigative Gameplay

    Unlike standard “walking sims,” Dimhaven is built on a foundation of complex, interconnected puzzles. To solve the mystery, you’ll need more than just a sharp eye.

    • The Camera & Notebook: These aren’t just cosmetic items; they are Emily’s primary investigative tools. You’ll use the camera to capture crucial details and the notebook to track clues and decipher the strange events of the “Ravenwood legacy.”
    • Narrative through Exploration: Much of the story is told through environmental cues—documents, discarded objects, and the very architecture of the island itself.
    • A “Lost Tape” Preview: To celebrate the announcement, the team released a “lost tape” from Dimhaven. Rather than a traditional fast-paced trailer, this footage focuses on the mood and atmosphere, giving players a window into the lonely, beautiful world they will inhabit this June.

    An Indie Powerhouse Partnership

    The collaboration between Zadbox Entertainment and Blue Brain Games marks a significant milestone. While Zadbox brings the puzzle-design pedigree of Quern (which holds a 91% positive rating on Steam), Blue Brain Games is moving into the publishing space for the first time.

    Blue Brain Games is best known for the critically acclaimed The House of Da Vinci trilogy, which has reached over 5 million players worldwide. This partnership combines Zadbox’s innovative narrative-puzzle design with Blue Brain’s expertise in bringing high-quality puzzle adventures to a global audience.

    Try the Demo Today

    If you can’t wait until June, a free demo is currently available on Steam. It offers a substantial glimpse into the game’s first chapter, allowing you to test your wits against the island’s initial riddles and soak in that haunting atmosphere.

    Wishlist Dimhaven – The Lost Source on Steam now to stay updated on the exact June release date!

  • Thick as Thieves: Warren Spector’s Stealth Adventure Nabs a Stealthy Sub-£5 Price Tag

    Thick as Thieves: Warren Spector’s Stealth Adventure Nabs a Stealthy Sub-£5 Price Tag

    If you’ve been keeping a watchful eye on the shadows, your patience is about to pay off. OtherSide Entertainment and Megabit Publishing have officially broken cover today to confirm the launch details for their highly anticipated stealth-heist title, Thick as Thieves.

    The headline? It’s going to be a steal. Literally.

    When the game sneaks onto Steam on May 20, 2026, it will launch with a strikingly low price of just $4.99 / €4.99 / £4.99.

    A Legendary Pedigree

    For fans of the “Immersive Sim” genre, those names should ring a bell. OtherSide Entertainment is led by industry icons Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Thief: Deadly Shadows) and Paul Neurath (Thief: The Dark Project).

    With Thick as Thieves, the duo is returning to their roots, delivering a focused, atmospheric experience set in the mystical, alternate-history Scottish city of Kilcairn. Think 1910s aesthetics meets arcane magic and early industrial tech—a playground built specifically for those who prefer a lockpick to a rocket launcher.

    What’s in the Bag?

    At such a budget-friendly price point, you might wonder what the “catch” is. According to CEO Paul Neurath, this release serves as an “introductory campaign” designed to give players a “meaty taste” of the world and mechanics.

    Here is what you can expect on May 20:

    • The Campaign: An introductory story estimated at 4+ hours of gameplay.
    • Two Playable Thieves: Take control of the Spider or the Chameleon, each boasting unique abilities.
    • Solo or Co-op: While originally envisioned as a competitive PvPvE title, the game has been refined into a tight single-player or 2-player co-op experience.
    • High Replayability: Features 16 contracts across two massive, dynamic maps where guard patrols and security layouts shift based on difficulty settings.
    • The Tools of the Trade: Classic gadgets like “Slithersap” for disabling lights and the “Pickpocket Fairy” for remote interactions.

    Why the $4.99 Price Point?

    The move is a bold one. By pricing the game lower than a high-street coffee, OtherSide is lowering the barrier to entry significantly. It allows the team to build a community and gather feedback before expanding the world of Kilcairn with future content.

    As the developers put it, this is about getting players into the shadows sooner rather than later.

    “Releasing this introductory campaign gets players into the world of Thick as Thieves and gives them a meaty taste of a world worth returning to.” — Paul Neurath, CEO of OtherSide Entertainment.

    Mark Your Calendars

    If you’ve missed the tension of a perfectly executed heist or the thrill of extinguishing a torch just as a guard walks by, Thick as Thieves is shaping up to be the best value in gaming this May.

    You can wishlist the game now on Steam ahead of its May 20 release. At five quid, can you really afford not to be a thief?

    Stay tuned to TechMash for more updates on Thick as Thieves and the latest from Megabit Publishing.

  • Operation Auvergne: Commandos: Origins Deploys ‘No Man Left Behind’ DLC Today

    Operation Auvergne: Commandos: Origins Deploys ‘No Man Left Behind’ DLC Today

    Tactical stealth fans, it’s time to sharpen your combat knives and check your signal jammers. Kalypso Media and its in-house developer, Claymore Game Studios, have officially deployed No Man Left Behind, the second major DLC for Commandos: Origins.

    Available starting today, April 28, 2026, this expansion takes us deep into the rugged mountains of occupied France to answer one of the campaign’s biggest lingering questions: What actually happened to the Green Beret?

    The “Missing Link” Revealed

    If you’ve played the main campaign, you know the Green Beret, Jack O’Hara, starts the story in a bit of a predicament. No Man Left Behind acts as a narrative bridge, detailing the failed operation in the Auvergne region that led to his capture.

    The DLC features four brand-new missions that transition from a solo infiltration with O’Hara to a high-stakes rescue operation. When the Green Beret goes dark, it’s up to the rest of the elite squad—Thomas “the Sapper” Hancock, Francis T. “the Sniper” Woolridge, and Rene “the Spy” Duchamp—to infiltrate heavily fortified German facilities and bring their leader home.

    New Tactical Threats: The Radio Operator

    Claymore Game Studios isn’t just giving us new scenery; they’re changing the tactical math. This DLC introduces a punishing new enemy type: The Radio Operator.

    Unlike standard guards who might just blow a whistle, the Radio Operator can trigger a global alarm, calling in overwhelming reinforcements that can end a mission in seconds. Players will need to:

    • Prioritise Targets: Neutralise operators before they can reach their equipment.
    • Sever Communications: Find and disable signal enhancers hidden throughout the map to prevent enemy squads from coordinating.

    Massive Maps and Hidden Superweapons

    The missions are set across a vast, picturesque map of the Auvergne region. You’ll be navigating everything from dense, nighttime forests to industrial construction sites. Beyond the rescue mission, the squad must uncover intelligence regarding a deadly German superweapon prototype—ensuring that even if O’Hara is safe, the Reich’s secret projects are not.

    Pricing and Availability

    Commandos: Origins – No Man Left Behind is available now for £12.99 / €14.99 / $14.99 across the following platforms:

    • PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Kalypso Store)
    • Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One
    • PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5

    TechMash Tip: PC players should act fast to grab launch discounts. There is currently a 14% discount on the Kalypso Store and 10% off on Steam for the first two weeks of release.

    Whether you’re a series veteran or a newcomer to the revival, No Man Left Behind looks to provide that signature “one wrong move and it’s over” tension that made the original games legendary.

  • Blades of Fire Version 2.0: MercurySteam and 505 Games Reveal Transmutation in New Spotlight

    Blades of Fire Version 2.0: MercurySteam and 505 Games Reveal Transmutation in New Spotlight

    The journey of Aran and Adso is about to get a major upgrade. Developer MercurySteam and publisher 505 Games have officially released the second episode of their weekly feature series for Blades of Fire – Version 2.0, ahead of its highly anticipated launch on Steam PC this May 14.

    Following its initial release on consoles and the Epic Games Store last year, the dark-fantasy action-adventure is heading to Steam with a massive overhaul that promises to refine the “methodical and lethal” combat fans have come to love.

    Master the Forge: Introducing Transmutation

    The second episode of the spotlight series dives deep into a brand-new mechanic: Transmutation.

    In a world where Queen Nerea’s curse turns steel into stone, managing your resources is the difference between life and death. The Transmutation system allows players to convert materials directly at the forge, offering a layer of flexibility never seen in the base game.

    • Convert & Craft: Players can now transmute any discovered material into another.
    • Tiered Rewards: Materials are categorised into tiers. You can bundle lower-tier resources to create high-level materials or break down rare items to bolster your stock of basic supplies.
    • Inventory Balance: This system ensures that no resource goes to waste, allowing you to specifically target the “Divine Metal” needed for your next weapon upgrade.

    What Else is Coming in Version 2.0?

    The Steam launch isn’t just a port; it’s a definitive edition. Version 2.0 will be a free update for existing players on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Epic Games, bringing a wealth of technical and gameplay improvements:

    • New “Titanium” Difficulty: A brutal challenge for those who have mastered the game’s stamina-based combat.
    • New Game Plus (NG+): Take your legend further with exclusive weapon parts and skins.
    • Technical Edge: The update implements NVIDIA DLSS 4 support and has been fully optimised for Steam Deck.
    • Gory Details: Expect “expanded death and mutilation variations” and smoother animation transitions for a more visceral experience.
    • Boss Revival: A new mode allowing you to replay epic encounters to earn unique rewards.

    Pro Tip: If you can’t wait until May 14, a free demo is available now on Steam. Your progress will carry over to the full game!

    The Road to May 14

    With the Steam release just around the corner, 505 Games will continue to drop weekly videos highlighting the “Version 2.0” improvements. Whether you’re a returning blacksmith or a newcomer ready to face the Queen’s abominations, Blades of Fire is shaping up to be one of the most significant action-adventure updates of 2026.

    Blades of Fire – Version 2.0 launches on Steam May 14, 2026. Stay tuned to TechMash for more updates as we approach the forge!

  • Fuel, Fur, and a Few Mysteries: The Last Gas Station Launches on Steam

    Fuel, Fur, and a Few Mysteries: The Last Gas Station Launches on Steam

    In a world increasingly dominated by silent electric vehicles, there is something undeniably nostalgic about the hum of a petrol pump. Alawar, the publisher behind hits like Beholder and Wall World, has officially opened the shutters on its latest project: The Last Gas Station, a narrative-rich cosy sim that blends shop management with a chilling roadside mystery.

    After a breakout performance during the February Steam Next Fest, the game is out now on Steam, and it’s time to see if you have what it takes to run a business where the customers are quirky, the coffee is fresh, and the nights are… well, best avoided.

    A New Life as a Roadside Entrepreneur

    In The Last Gas Station, you play as a charming red panda who has inherited a crumbling station in the middle of nowhere. The previous owner? Vanished. The equipment? Ancient. Your goal is to transform this relic into a thriving roadside haven.

    The management loop is satisfyingly tactile. You aren’t just clicking menus; you’re:

    • Modernising the Pumps: Tearing out rusted gear to install modern fuel systems and car maintenance bays.
    • Managing the Shop: Stocking shelves with snacks, road-trip essentials, and souvenirs to keep the locals and travellers happy.
    • Customising Your Vibe: Designing neon signs and decorating your store to make it a “beacon for travellers stuck in time.”

    Don’t Go Out After Dark

    While the daytime gameplay is pure “cosy vibes,” the game leans into a narrative mystery once the sun sets. The previous manager didn’t just retire—they disappeared under unexplained circumstances.

    The game presents you with a haunting choice: do you stay safely inside, listening to the whispers from the shadows, or do you venture out to uncover the truth? The “Night Mysteries” system adds a layer of tension that sets this apart from your average shop simulator.

    Pro Tip: The locals are full of warnings. If they tell you to lock the doors and stay inside, it’s probably worth listening to them—at least until you’ve upgraded your courage.

    Launch Details & Features

    Following feedback from the demo, Alawar has packed the full release with even more content:

    • Expandable Business: You can now restore other nearby abandoned shops to build a mini roadside empire.
    • Quirky Minigames: From tyre inflation to oil changes, there’s plenty of hands-on work to do.
    • Stunning Pixel Art: The “animal world” aesthetic is beautifully realised, making every sunset look gorgeous (even if it’s a bit scary).

    Grab the Launch Discount

    To celebrate the release, The Last Gas Station is currently available on Steam with a 15% launch discount. For those who enjoy a side of “unsettling” with their “cosy,” this might just be your new favourite time-sink.

    The Last Gas Station is available now for PC. Are you ready to pump some gas and chase some ghosts?

  • Childhood Chaos Unleashed: CarCam Hits Full Release on Steam with a 20% Discount

    Childhood Chaos Unleashed: CarCam Hits Full Release on Steam with a 20% Discount

    Remember the days when your living room was a sprawling metropolitan circuit, and the gap under the sofa was a high-stakes tunnel? PR Games has officially bottled that nostalgia and cranked it up to eleven. After a successful stint in Early Access, the tiny-car-big-world simulator CarCam has officially reached its Full Release (Version 1.0) on Steam.

    To celebrate leaving the garage, the developers are offering a limited-time 20% launch discount, making it the perfect time to shrink down and start some household havoc.

    Tiny Perspective, Massive Stakes

    CarCam isn’t your average racing sim. It places you behind the wheel (or rather, behind the lens) of a remote-controlled car in a world where everything is oversized. You aren’t racing on asphalt; you’re drifting around table legs, launching off cushions, and trying to avoid the “grumpy house owner” who definitely didn’t authorise a Grand Prix in the hallway.

    The 1.0 release brings a massive haul of new content and refinements based on community feedback:

    • 16 New Cars: Expanding the roster for even more variety in handling and style.
    • 2 New Maps: New rooms of the house to conquer and explore.
    • Multiplayer Upgrades: A new lobby system with room codes makes it easier than ever to race with friends.
    • Quality of Life: Improved loading screens, joystick controller support, and better audio customisation.

    Pick Your Mode of Destruction

    Whether you’re a speed freak or a chaos agent, CarCam has a mode for you:

    ModeThe Vibe
    RaceClassic high-speed checkpoints through household obstacle courses.
    DominationTactical chaos—capture zones and steal LEGO bricks to win.
    BilliardA bonkers twist on pool where you use your car as the cue ball.
    Free RoamNo rules, no rush. Just explore the oversized world at your own pace.

    Join the Launch Party

    The full release version is a significant step up from the Early Access build, offering better performance, fewer bugs, and increased battery capacity for your tiny racers. If you’ve been looking for a game that blends arcade physics with pure, unadulterated “toy box energy,” this is it.

    Pro Tip: If you’re playing in Free Ride, check the settings for the new “Unlimited Battery” toggle to keep the exploration going forever.

    CarCam is available now on Steam. Grab it while the 20% launch discount is active and rediscover the thrill of racing like nobody’s watching!

  • HYPERFIGHT 2 launches a demo on Steam

    HYPERFIGHT 2 launches a demo on Steam

    Studio Joh has officially unleashed the demo for HYPERFIGHT 2 on PC via Steam, and it’s looking like a heavyweight contender for indie fighting game of the year. Along with the playable slice of action, a brand-new trailer has dropped to showcase the sequel’s frantic, high-stakes combat.

    If you’re worried about losing your progress, don’t be—Studio Joh has confirmed that saves will transfer to the full game upon release.

    What’s New in the Arena?

    For those who missed the cult-classic original, HYPERFIGHT is known for its “risk it all” philosophy. The sequel evolves the formula, moving away from the one-hit-kill mechanics of the first game to introduce a deeper, neutral-heavy system.

    Key Features in the Demo:

    • Three Playable Characters: Get a feel for the diverse roster, including the newly revealed zoner, Yo-Yona.
    • Tug-of-War Meter System: Forget health bars. You win by gaining 5 points; you lose points when hit and spend them to unleash devastating Special and Hyper moves.
    • Rollback Netcode: Essential for any serious fighter—the demo includes online versus with smooth-as-butter rollback and menu-based lobbies.
    • New Mechanics: The sequel adds combos and Ring Outs, adding a layer of spatial awareness to the fast-paced 2D scrapping.

    Roadmap to Release

    The demo isn’t a blink-and-you ‘ll-miss-it event. It will remain live on Steam through the upcoming June Next Fest, giving players plenty of time to sharpen their skills before the full launch.

    Note: The full release is planned for Summer 2026, shortly after the conclusion of June Next Fest.

    Watch the New Trailer

    Check out the high-energy trailer below to see the new art style, fluid animations, and the “easy to learn, hard to master” gameplay in action:

    How to Play

    You can download the demo right now on the HYPERFIGHT 2 Steam Page. Whether you’re a veteran of the first game or a newcomer looking for a fresh take on the genre, there’s never been a better time to step into the ring.

  • DON’T NOD Takes Us to the Edge of the Solar System with Aphelion – Out Now!

    DON’T NOD Takes Us to the Edge of the Solar System with Aphelion – Out Now!

    The masters of narrative storytelling at DON’T NOD (the team behind Life is Strange and Jusant) have officially launched their latest venture into the stars. Aphelion is available today on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

    If you’ve been looking for a sci-fi experience that prioritises atmosphere and emotion over mindless shooting, this collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) might be your next obsession.

    Survival at the Edge of Reason

    Set in the 2060s, Aphelion follows astronauts Ariane and Thomas on the Hope-01 mission. Their goal? To survey Persephone, a mysterious ninth planet at the edge of our solar system that could be humanity’s last hope for survival.

    Things, as they usually do in deep space, go sideways. After a catastrophic crash landing, the duo is separated on a frozen, shifting world. You’ll need to navigate a landscape that is as beautiful as it is lethal, all while being stalked by a terrifying, unknown lifeform known as the Nemesis.

    Dual-Perspective Gameplay

    The game offers a unique “dual-perspective” mechanic that keeps the pacing fresh:

    • Ariane: Focuses on high-stakes parkour, traversal, and momentum-driven movement across treacherous ice cliffs and chasms.
    • Thomas: Injured in the crash, his segments are more grounded, focusing on survival, investigation, and using his wits to solve environmental puzzles.

    Realism Meets Sci-Fi Horror

    What sets Aphelion apart is its grounded approach. By working with the ESA, DON’T NOD has crafted a realistic depiction of near-future space exploration. However, don’t let the “science” label fool you—there is a distinct Alien vibe here. The stealth sequences against the Nemesis are designed to be genuinely tense, forcing you to use your environment and limited tools (like your pathfinder and oxygen tank) to stay alive.

    “Aphelion is an emotional tale about love, resilience, and hope. It embodies our passion for powerful, cinematic experiences.” — Oskar Guilbert, CEO of DON’T NOD.

    Launch Details & Special Editions

    If you’re jumping in today, here is what you need to know:

    • Platforms: PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S (Xbox Play Anywhere), and PS5.
    • Game Pass: Subscribers can play it Day One on Xbox and PC.
    • Day One Discount: Digital versions on Steam and Xbox (and PS+ members on PS5) are currently 10% off for the launch window.
    • The Pioneer Edition: For the collectors, a physical PlayStation 5 “Pioneer Edition” is coming July 2nd, featuring exclusive ESA-themed stickers and cosmetic packs.

    The reviews are already trickling in, and while it’s a departure from the studio’s usual choice-based dramas, the haunting beauty of Persephone is something every sci-fi fan should experience at least once.

    Are you ready to face the unknown? Head over to Steam or your console store to grab your copy now!

    Giddy Up! Supernatural Co-op FPS ‘Far Far West’ Hits Steam Early Access Today

    The frontier is getting a whole lot weirder today. After amassing a staggering 700,000+ wishlists and generating serious buzz during the Triple-i Initiative showcase, Far Far West officially launches into Steam Early Access today, April 29, 2026.

    Developed by the talented team at Evil Raptor—the minds behind the cult-hit Pumpkin Jack and the recent action-platformer Akimbot—and published by Fireshine Games (Core Keeper, Denshattack!), this title is looking to be the next big obsession for co-op fans.

    Robots, Revolvers, and Rituals

    Forget everything you know about the historical Wild West. In Far Far West, you and up to three friends step into the metallic boots of bounty-hunting robots tasked with cleaning up a supernatural frontier.

    The gameplay is a high-octane blend of first-person gunplay and elemental spell-casting. Imagine Helldivers 2 moving at twice the speed, swapped with a vibrant, Saturday-morning cartoon aesthetic. You aren’t just fanning a hammer; you’re dashing through the air, dropping acid puddles, and summoning lightning bolts to manage hordes of skeletal outlaws and monstrous creatures.

    What to Expect in Early Access

    The core loop is built for replayability and “just one more run” energy:

    • The Contract System: Pick up bounties from the local Sheriff and head into procedurally generated maps, including haunted mines and storm-ravaged deserts.
    • The Boss Gauntlet: Unlike traditional extraction shooters, every mission culminates in a unique boss fight that must be overcome before you can “get in, get paid, and get out.”
    • Deep Customisation: Beyond your firearms, you can level up spells and even customise your mechanical horse to better navigate the dangerous terrain.
    • Technical Polish: Despite being an Early Access launch from an eight-person team, early reports suggest the game is remarkably stable, boasting fast load times and steady frame rates.

    “We wanted to take the DNA of the 3D platformers we love and inject it into a modern co-op shooter,” says the team at Evil Raptor. “It’s chaotic, it’s colorful, and it’s meant to be played with friends.”

    The Verdict: Should You Saddle Up?

    With a starting price that reflects its Early Access status, Far Far West offers a fresh, expressive take on the co-op shooter genre. While some early players have noted that the gold-based progression system can be a bit of a “grind” in these initial stages, the sheer fun of the combat and the charm of the world make it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for their next squad-based adventure.

    Far Far West is available now on PC via Steam Early Access.

    Are you planning on diving into the Far Far West today, or are you waiting to see how the roadmap develops over the coming months?

    Building Through the Ages: Memoriapolis – Banners & Wonders Launches on Steam

    History isn’t just written in books; it’s built in stone, wood, and iron. Today, 5PM Studio officially released MEMORIAPOLIS – BANNERS & WONDERS on PC via Steam, marking a massive turning point for the ambitious historical city-builder.

    This isn’t just a standard patch. After a year of intensive development and a successful open beta, 5PM Studio has effectively rebuilt the game from the ground up to deliver the definitive “Banners & Wonders” experience.

    A City That Lives and Breathes

    In Memoriapolis, you don’t just manage a grid; you guide a civilisation across 2,500 years of history. From the dawn of Antiquity to the smog-filled horizons of the Industrial Revolution, your city evolves organically.

    The Banners & Wonders release brings a wealth of new depth to the table:

    • Organic Growth: Watch as districts expand and sprawl naturally, reflecting the architectural shifts of each passing era.
    • The Power of Factions: Navigate the complex political landscape of your city. Balance the needs of rival factions, negotiate through the new Council system, and pass laws that will shape your legacy.
    • Grand Wonders: For the first time, players can reach a true endgame by constructing iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Neuschwanstein Castle, or the Statue of Liberty.
    • Total Overhaul: Responding to community feedback, 5PM Studio has removed restrictive “cycle limits” and “closed districts,” giving players more freedom to grow their empire at their own pace.

    What’s New in the Banners & Wonders Update?

    If you played the early versions of Memoriapolis, you’ll find a transformed game today. Key features included in the launch are:

    FeatureDescription
    Dynastic HouseA new central hub for your city’s governance and identity.
    Dynamic TradeA reworked trade outpost system providing passive bonuses based on cultural routes.
    New VisualsEnhanced terrain rendering, improved road systems, and new weather effects (snow, rain, and storms).
    Steam Achievements40 brand-new achievements to track your historical milestones.
    Freedom to BuildThe ability to demolish districts and build outside “safe zones” starting in Antiquity.

    A Labour of Love and Community

    The journey to today’s launch has been one of transparency. After the initial full release fell short of player expectations, founder Jean-Baptiste Reynes and the team at 5PM Studio made the bold decision to “go dark” and rework core systems based on player feedback.

    “Rather than continuing with incremental updates, we chose to take the time to rebuild the game at its core,” says Reynes. “Banners & Wonders is the result of that process—and we’re proud to finally bring players back.”

    Launch Offer

    To celebrate the return, MEMORIAPOLIS – BANNERS & WONDERS is currently available on Steam with a 30% launch discount for the next two weeks.

    Best of all? All existing owners receive this massive update for free. Whether you’re a returning architect or a brand-new founder, there has never been a better time to start your dynasty.
