    CLING, BUILD, SURVIVE — WALL WORLD STRATEGY CLIMBS OUT TODAY ON PC

    Developer and publisher Alawar has officially launched Wall World Strategy, a unique vertical colony-building sim set on the surface of an infinite, towering Wall. It’s out right now on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store — with a 10% launch discount running for the first two weeks.


    THE WALL AWAITS

    The Wall stretches endlessly upward — humanity’s last refuge. Your job? Take a tiny outpost and transform it into a thriving, self-sustaining colony clinging to a sheer vertical surface. Every building, every resource, every colonist matters — because up here, one mistake can send everything tumbling.

    WHAT YOU’LL DO

    • Build vertically — plan your base across the Wall’s face, expanding upwards and outwards
    • Manage your people — keep colonists fed, happy, and safe; unrest and shortages can bring down even the strongest outpost
    • Defend the climb — fend off waves of the Zyrex, hostile creatures that emerge from the depths to tear your settlement apart
    • Deploy robo-spiders — send specialised machines into uncharted sectors to mine resources, uncover relics, and map the unknown
    • Research & evolve — unlock new tech, improve production, strengthen defences, and dig deeper into the Wall’s ancient mysteries
    • Play your way — Sandbox Mode lets you build and experiment without time pressure or story constraints

    “The Core is ready to awaken. Step out, take on the role of a settlement overseer — constantly battling against the Zyrex, the harsh environment, and settlement crises.” — Alawar

    LAUNCH OFFER

    • Out now — Steam, GOG & Epic Games Store
    • 10% off for the first two weeks
    • Also available in several bundles, including the original Wall World at up to 25–30% off
    • Full Windows & macOS support, 11 languages, and Steam Achievements included

    It’s a fresh twist on the colony sim formula — one where gravity itself is your biggest constraint. Start small, climb high, and don’t look down.

    Pick up Wall World Strategy today: available on Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store

  • SADDLE UP — WESTLANDERS PLAYTEST INVITES YOU TO TAME THE FRONTIER

    SADDLE UP — WESTLANDERS PLAYTEST INVITES YOU TO TAME THE FRONTIER

    Your First Look At The Wild West — Right Now

    The Breach Studios and publisher Team17 have thrown open the gates to the frontier. Westlanders, their ambitious open-world Wild West survival adventure, is running a closed playtest on Steam and Epic Games Store from today until November 17, 2026 — and you can still request access before the sun sets on this opportunity.


    What Is Westlanders?

    Westlanders isn’t just another survival game. It’s a journey from lonely pioneer to thriving community leader — set in a sprawling, realistic 19th-century frontier that lives and breathes around you. Whether you strike out alone or team up with up to three friends in online co-op, the goal is the same: survive, build, and leave your mark.

    “From lone wanderer to town founder — your wagon, your rules, your legacy.”


    What You Can Play In The Test

    The playtest gives you 6–8 hours of the opening experience across two distinct biomes:

    Biome
    Lonesome Lake — Pines, fresh water, and early foraging grounds
    Misty River — Richer resources, flowing waterways, and new dangers

    You’ll get hands-on with the core early-game loop:

    • Survival basics — manage hunger, thirst, temperature, and health
    • Gather & craft — harvest wood, stone, and food; build tools and improvised weapons
    • Your Wagon — your mobile base. Pack up, move on, set up camp wherever looks promising
    • Settlement building — stake your claim, put up a tent, then turn that camp into something permanent
    • Co-op survival — invite up to two friends to ride alongside you through the wilderness

    Good news: there’s no NDA — feel free to stream, screenshot, and share your frontier adventures with the world.

    Beyond The Playtest — What’s Coming

    The full vision for Westlanders stretches far beyond what you’ll see in this test:

    • Expand beyond camps — build proper towns, farms, mines, and supply chains
    • NPC Settlers — recruit, assign roles, and automate production lines
    • Roads & Logistics — connect your outposts, manage trade routes across the valley
    • Deep Tech Tree — evolve from bushcraft to industrial tools and firearms
    • Quests & Storylines — meet characters, uncover secrets, and shape the region’s future

    As developer Ferran Punti, CEO of The Breach Studios, puts it: “We’re so excited to share the world we have created with survival craft fans and see what the community thinks of Westlanders! It’s our open-world realistic take on the Western genre — we can’t wait for everyone to saddle up and get stuck in.”


    Ready To Head West?

    Time is limited — the test closes November 17. Request your spot now via the Westlanders Steam store page or Epic Games Store listing, and don’t miss your chance to shape the frontier before anyone else.

  • SENT TO DIE, DETERMINED TO LIVE — CASUALTIES: UNKNOWN EMERGES ON STEAM AFTER THREE-YEAR ODYSSEY

    SENT TO DIE, DETERMINED TO LIVE — CASUALTIES: UNKNOWN EMERGES ON STEAM AFTER THREE-YEAR ODYSSEY

    You are not a hero. You are not a saviour. You are just another disposable asset — dropped onto an alien world, ordered to retrieve what was lost, and left to figure out how to stay alive.

    Developer Orsoniks and publisher Oro Interactive have officially launched Casualties: Unknown on Steam — a punishing, atmospheric survival adventure three years in the making, where every wound matters, every resource counts, and you are one of thousands sent into the dark to never return.

    ELEVEN LAYERS OF UNFORGIVING DEPTH

    You wake on a fractured, hostile planet. Your captors don’t care if you come back — they only care if you recover the cargo. Your mission: descend through 11 distinct, punishing layers of an alien subterranean realm, each one more dangerous than the last, and each holding secrets that previous expeditions died trying to understand.

    This isn’t a game about sprinting to the bottom. It’s about endurance, adaptation, and the quiet terror of watching your own body fail:

    • Full physiological simulation — treat lacerations, manage infection risk, stem blood loss, and monitor your mental state. Depression and exhaustion can be as deadly as claws and teeth
    • Craft to survive — scavenge materials from the environment to bandage wounds, build tools, and fashion the gear that might keep you breathing just a little longer
    • Procedural threats — no two runs are identical. Resources shift, creatures adapt, and the caves themselves rearrange their dangers
    • Permadeath — when you fall, you fall for good. There are no checkpoints to reload, no second chances to undo a fatal mistake

    THREE PATHS, THREE FATES — THE FULL GAME ARRIVES

    After months of community feedback and a widely praised demo, the full release brings everything players have been waiting for — and then some:

    • Layers 6 through 11 now open — doubling the depth and danger beyond the demo experience
    • Three distinct playable characters, each with their own starting conditions, strengths, and stories
    • Three separate endings shaped entirely by your choices and what you discover in the deep
    • 40 Steam achievements tracking every milestone, triumph, and near-defeat
    • Over 50-track original soundtrack spanning more than three hours of haunting, atmospheric score — available separately or bundled with the game
    • Countless balance refinements, quality-of-life improvements, and polish shaped by nearly three years of community input

    MADE WITH CARE, PRICED FAIRLY

    Casualties: Unknown is available now on Steam for $22.99, with a 15% launch discount for early buyers. Regional pricing ensures the game is accessible worldwide, and the soundtrack bundle offers a way to support the creator directly while immersing yourself in the world’s eerie, beautiful soundscape.

    The journey hasn’t been quick — nearly three years from first spark to full release — but Orsoniks and Oro Interactive have built something that refuses to cut corners or compromise on vision.

    THE DARK IS CALLING — WILL YOU RETURN?

    Thousands have been sent before you. Most never came back. Some left notes, supplies, warnings — and evidence of what truly waits in the deepest dark.

    Casualties: Unknown isn’t about winning. It’s about going as far as you can, holding on as long as possible, and discovering what lies at the bottom of everything.

    Grab your gear. Watch your back. And remember — you’re expendable. But you’re not helpless.

  • CARGO, CHAOS, AND GOLD — BOOTSTRAP ISLAND’S MAJOR UPDATE UNLEASHES CARGO MASTER MODE

    CARGO, CHAOS, AND GOLD — BOOTSTRAP ISLAND’S MAJOR UPDATE UNLEASHES CARGO MASTER MODE

    Survival in VR just got a whole lot more purposeful — and a lot more competitive. Maru VR has today dropped a landmark update for Bootstrap Island, its acclaimed hyper-realistic roguelike survival adventure, introducing Cargo Master Mode: a fresh, high-stakes way to experience the island where every delivery counts, every run raises the bar, and every reward changes how you play.

    For anyone who’s braved the island’s storms, foraged its shores, and fought to stay alive one day at a time, this isn’t just a side activity — it’s a complete reimagining of what your time on the island can be. Where the core game is about endurance, discovery, and making it through another night, Cargo Master gives you a mission: collect cargo, deliver it, and do it faster, smarter, and more efficiently than anyone else.

    THE JOB, THE ISLAND, THE DANGER

    The premise is simple, but execution is anything but. You’ll take on a sequence of 19 escalating tasks, each asking you to retrieve cargo from across the island and transport it safely to its destination. As you complete runs, the challenges grow tougher — longer distances, heavier loads, harsher weather, and more dangerous wildlife mean you can’t rely on muscle alone. You’ll need to balance resource management, route planning, combat readiness, and pure survival instinct all at once.

    One run might see you hauling a precious crate across open plains as predators close in; the next could demand navigating cliffside paths in driving rain, where a single slip sends you — and your cargo — plummeting into the surf below. The island you know becomes a gauntlet: familiar landmarks become checkpoints, familiar threats become obstacles, and every decision is timed.

    MYSTICAL MIGHT — REWARDS THAT REWRITE THE RULES

    What makes the grind truly irresistible? The loot — and none of it exists in the main campaign. Complete deliveries and you’ll unlock a collection of extraordinary, enchanted items that fundamentally alter how you move, fight, and survive:

    • Boots of Jumping — Leap farther than ever before, glide across chasms, and shrug off falls that would normally end your run. The island’s most treacherous terrain suddenly becomes your playground.
    • Infinite Flintlock Pistol — No more scrounging for powder or forging shot. This firearm never runs dry — though you’ll still need to cock it carefully between every round.
    • Infinite Bow — Rain down arrows without counting supplies, turning every encounter into a battle you can win through sheer persistence.

    Push through all 19 trials and you’ll claim the ultimate prize: the Golden Seashell — a trophy of legendary status and a mark of true mastery. These aren’t just trinkets, either; they’re tools that open up entirely new ways to explore and survive the island, giving you reason to revisit familiar shores with fresh eyes.

    RACE THE ISLAND — AND THE WORLD

    Survival is no longer a solitary affair. Every completed run logs your time on global leaderboards, turning your personal struggle into a global contest. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or climbing the ranks against the world’s fastest couriers, Cargo Master invites you to refine your route, shave seconds off your delivery times, and master the island not just to survive it — but to conquer it.

    Will you take the slow, safe path through the trees? Or brave the direct route over the ridge, risking storms and beasts to set a record? Every choice is a strategy — and every run is a chance to perfect it.

    WHEN AND WHERE

    Cargo Master Mode is available now via Steam for PC VR headsets. The PlayStation VR2 update is coming soon, so console VR players won’t be left out for long. If you already own Bootstrap Island, the update is yours for free — no extra purchase required.

    For new players, this is the perfect moment to step ashore: Bootstrap Island remains one of VR’s most immersive and believable survival experiences, a game where every branch broken, fire lit, and storm weathered feels genuinely earned.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    Maru VR hasn’t just added content here — they’ve breathed new life into an already outstanding survival sim. Cargo Master Mode takes the foundation of Bootstrap Island and layers on focus, drive, and friendly competition without losing the sense of isolation and wonder that makes the game special. It’s survival with a deadline — and it’s glorious.

    So strap on your headset, check your gear, and step back onto the shore. The island hasn’t changed — but your mission has. Deliver the cargo. Claim the gold. Become the Cargo Master.

  • Soar, Survive, Settle — ATMOSFAR Takes Flight to Steam Early Access This Thursday

    Soar, Survive, Settle — ATMOSFAR Takes Flight to Steam Early Access This Thursday

    Apog Labs and Shueisha Games lift the skybound veil — your aerial odyssey begins October 29

    Imagine a world where the ground beneath your feet is never the same for long. Where islands drift through endless cloudscape, storms rage at altitude, and your home is not a place — it’s a vessel. That world is ATMOSFAR, and it lands on Steam Early Access this Thursday, October 29th, brought to you by developer Apog Labs and publisher Shueisha Games.

    Welcome to Tycos — Where the Sky Is the Frontier

    ATMOSFAR unfolds across the alien planet Tycos — a breathtaking, open world of floating islands, soaring biomes, and secrets scattered across the horizon. You’re not just surviving here; you’re unravelling the mystery of humanity’s furthest outpost, long silent and now waiting to be found.

    Every expedition is a journey upward and outward:

    • Master physics-driven flight — pilot, bank, and hover through turbulent skies, jetstreams, and unpredictable weather systems
    • Explore drifting biomes — from mist-shrouded cloud forests to wind-blasted high plateaus, each zone holds unique resources, flora, and dangers
    • Scavenge, craft, and advance — harvest scrap and rare materials to upgrade your ships, expand your base, and unlock the technology to venture further than anyone has gone before

    Your Fleet — Wings for Every Mission

    You don’t fly alone — you command a growing fleet of specialised vessels:

    VesselRole
    Scout WaspFast, agile — perfect for charting unclaimed skies
    Utility WaspDeploy portable camps and workbenches anywhere you land
    Cargo/Hauler WaspAirlift heavy scrap and precious resources back home
    Fighter WaspDefend your crew and your Cloud Cruiser from airborne threats

    Every Wasp is fully customisable — swap engines, hulls, and parts, then personalise livery with colours and decals to make each ship yours.

    The Cloud Cruiser — Your Home Above the Clouds

    Your Cloud Cruiser is more than a base — it’s a massive, moving airship that travels with you. It houses your hangar, your workshops, your storage, and your crew. Furnish it, expand it, and keep it fuelled and powered — because when the skies turn dangerous, the Cruiser is your sanctuary.

    Solo or Squad Up — Fly Together

    ATMOSFAR supports single-player and online co-op for up to four people from day one. Share the helm: one pilots the Cruiser, another scouts ahead, two haul resources — or split up and rendezvous later. The sky’s big enough for all of you.

    What’s the Early Access Plan?

    The team has confirmed Early Access will run for roughly nine months, with regular updates refining gameplay, expanding the map, and adding new mechanics. The launch build already delivers the core experience — flight, exploration, base-building, and the first major story arc — with more regions, ships, and narrative beats landing as development progresses.

    Lift-Off Is Thursday — Wishlist Now

    ATMOSFAR arrives on Steam Early Access — Thursday, October 29th. Pricing details are live on the store page; a temporary Early Access discount is planned, with a price increase expected alongside the full 1.0 release later.

    Your adventure waits above the clouds. Set your course.

  • Heart of the Alien World — Neosis Echoes Trailer Reveals Varos, Where Your Feelings Shape the Planet

    Heart of the Alien World — Neosis Echoes Trailer Reveals Varos, Where Your Feelings Shape the Planet

    Survival isn’t just about hunger or thirst — it’s about how you feel.

    The three-person independent team behind Neosis Echoes has officially unveiled the first-ever gameplay trailer for their open-world sci-fi survival-craft action game, inviting players to Varos — an alien world where your emotional state doesn’t just affect your character — it transforms the planet itself.


    What Is Neosis Echoes?

    Neosis Echoes rethinks survival from the ground up. Stranded on a mysterious, lush, and dangerous alien world, you must gather resources, build bases, craft gear, and fight for your life — but with a radical twist: everything you feel changes everything you see.

    The team calls this Reactive Survival, built around a system they’ve named The Emotional Loop:

    • The environment impacts your mood — stormy skies, serene valleys, or terrifying encounters shift your emotional state
    • Your mood changes the world — calm might grow protective flora; fear could spawn storms; anger might draw aggressive wildlife
    • Every choice, every reaction, ripples outward — creating a living, breathing feedback loop where you and Varos reshape one another

    The Trailer — First Look at Varos

    The debut gameplay trailer offers the clearest glimpse yet of what makes Neosis Echoes stand apart, showing:

    • Lush, alien biomes — from glowing forests to crystalline highlands, each zone distinct and visually striking
    • Exploration & traversal — climbing, gliding, and uncovering ancient ruins scattered across the planet
    • Base building — constructing shelters and workshops that evolve as you settle in
    • Dynamic combat — facing Varos’s native creatures, where your emotional state can alter your abilities and their behaviour
    • Emotional reactions in action — moments where the weather shifts, vegetation blooms or recedes, and encounters change entirely based on your condition

    Made by Three Hands

    Neosis Echoes is being built by a team of just three developers — a tiny crew taking on a genre dominated by large studios. Their ambition is simple but bold: prove that survival doesn’t need to be just another hunger-and-thirst meter grind. By placing emotion at the centre of the experience, they’re aiming to make your inner state as vital as your oxygen levels.

    “We want Varos to feel alive — not just pretty, but responsive,” the team shared. “If you’re calm, the world might be gentle back. If you’re reckless or afraid, the planet itself might turn against you. Surviving means understanding not just what you need, but how you feel.”

    What We Know So Far

    • Setting — Varos, a vibrant and unpredictable alien world
    • Genre — Open-world survival-craft action
    • Core Hook — Emotion-driven gameplay where your state shapes the environment
    • Release Window — Yet to be announced
    • Platforms — PC, consoles — details coming soon
    • Steam Page — Live now; wishlist available

  • Into the Depths — DREADMOOR Sets Sail for Steam Early Access on November 9

    Into the Depths — DREADMOOR Sets Sail for Steam Early Access on November 9

    Forget peaceful lakes and lazy afternoons — this is fishing at the end of the world.

    Developer Dream Dock and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment have confirmed that their highly anticipated dark first-person fishing adventure DREADMOOR will cast off into Steam Early Access on Monday, 9 November 2026 — and it’s already swimming in success, ranking among the top 100 most wishlisted unreleased games on Steam.

    A World Lost Beneath the Waves

    DREADMOOR drops you into the Submerged Lands — a haunting, waterlogged realm swallowed by catastrophe. Coastal cities lie drowned, twisted creatures haunt the murky depths, and survival means mastering the tides. You’re not just fishing for sport: every catch is currency, every salvage keeps your boat afloat, and every shadow beneath the surface could be your last.

    What to Expect at Launch

    When it arrives in Early Access next month, players will dive into a complete core experience:

    • Deep, rewarding fishing — target dozens of rare, mutated species; the more dangerous the catch, the higher the reward from mysterious traders
    • Boat progression — upgrade engines, hulls, lights, and fuel capacity to venture further into uncharted waters
    • Full crafting system — forge reinforced harpoons, specialised bait, survival gear, and medicines from salvaged scrap and forgotten blueprints
    • Real-time combat — defend yourself against horrors that lurk both below the waves and on the rotting shorelines
    • One vast, atmospheric region with the complete opening storyline, plus endless exploration once the tale unfolds

    The Road Ahead

    Dream Dock plans to keep DREADMOOR in Early Access for 6–12 months, using player feedback to refine balance, polish, and expand the world. The full release will bring new regions, additional fish species, fresh fishing mechanics, and even more boat upgrades — all while the game is priced lower during Early Access, with a price increase planned for version 1.0.

    “We’re reading everything — Steam Discussions, Discord, Reddit, in-game surveys,” said Dream Dock CEO Rostislav Fedorov. “Your feedback is helping us make DREADMOOR everything you’re hoping for”.

    Ready to Drop Your Line?

    The DREADMOOR demo is already available to try via Steam, giving you a taste of the darkness to come. Head to the DREADMOOR Steam Store Page now to add it to your wishlist and be notified the moment it unlocks on 9 November.

    Will you brave the Submerged Lands? The water’s waiting — but be warned: something is watching from the deep…

  • Blades, Bounty & Bosses — Dawn of Defiance Unleashes Hounds of Zeus Major Update!

    Blades, Bounty & Bosses — Dawn of Defiance Unleashes Hounds of Zeus Major Update!

    Sharpen your blades, polish your armour, Spartans — the gods have called. Developer Traega Entertainment and publisher Fireshine Games (Denshattack!, Far Far West) have unleashed Hounds of Zeus, the colossal third major update for Dawn of Defiance — the Greek mythology-inspired open-world survival adventure — bringing a sky-scaling new raid, three deadly bosses, legendary weapons, and life-sustaining farming and cooking systems.

    Ascend to Zeus’ Temple — The Ultimate Trial

    The Smolikas Mountains have been remade — colder, deadlier, and hiding a path to the heavens above. Complete the shrines of Dionysus, Hera, and Hermes, brave the freezing peaks and the sweltering depths of Frostburn Caverns, and unlock the portal to a raid zone floating high above the clouds.

    There, within Zeus’ Temple, three mythic harpy guardians await — each one a boss battle designed to test your skill, gear, and teamwork to the breaking point.

    Three Legendary Rewards

    Defeat the temple’s defenders, and you earn weapons worthy of the pantheon:

    • Distortions of Dionysus — intoxicating, unpredictable power that bends the fight to your will
    • Veiled Blade of Hermes — speed, precision, and unseen strikes, striking faster than the eye can follow
    • Voidstorm — Zeus’ Hammer — crushing, thunderous might that calls down the fury of the storm itself

    Beyond the weapons, earn the Praetorian armour set, hunt for three new Unique-tier swords, and track down Forged-tier Pathfinder gear to stand ready for every challenge.

    Sow, Cook, Survive — Farming & Cooking Arrive

    Warriors need sustenance — and now you can grow your own. The update introduces Farming 1.0, letting you turn your homestead into a thriving haven:

    • Plant & harvest — build planter boxes, tend your crops, and gather fresh ingredients
    • Reservoirs & irrigation — keep your crops watered and your larders full
    • Cooking system — craft nourishing meals at the improved cooking spit and new cooking pot. Recipes provide not just hunger relief but combat buffs, cold resistance, and lasting vitality

    From field to feast, every step strengthens you for the battles ahead.

    A World Remade — Smolikas Mountains Overhaul

    The frozen peaks aren’t just a backdrop — they’re a transformed frontier:

    • New puzzles, chalices to fill, and races to conquer across the slopes
    • Unexplored cave systems teeming with rare resources and hidden threats
    • Freezing temperatures demand preparation — warm clothing, hearty food, and shelter are no longer optional

  • Frost, Fire & Iron Rails — Frostrail Blasts Into Steam Next Fest With Public Demo!

    Frost, Fire & Iron Rails — Frostrail Blasts Into Steam Next Fest With Public Demo!

    Through the snow-blasted wastes, one thing moves. One thing survives. Frostrail — the brutal co-op survival FPS from Barotrauma developer FakeFish and publisher Shiro Unlimited — is pulling into Steam Next Fest, with a full public demo running October 19–26, 2026 on Steam.

    From the creators of the acclaimed underwater survival sensation Barotrauma comes a new nightmare — this time above the waves, where the cold kills faster than any beast.

    The World Freezes. Your Train Endures.

    The empire is gone. A pact with the Void has scoured the land, leaving endless ice, creeping horror, and silence broken only by the howl of the wind — and the chug of your engine. As one of the Penitent Gardeners, you and your crew roam aboard an armoured steam train: your home, your fortress, your only lifeline.

    • Your train is everything — fuel the mighty Eden Engine, manage power across systems, and keep it moving. Upgrade carriages, mount weapon stations, reinforce hull plating, and turn your locomotive into a rolling stronghold
    • Scavenge or starve — venture out into the frozen ruins to gather supplies, salvage scrap, and hunt for fuel. But every step away from the fire is dangerous. The frost saps your warmth, blizzards blind you, and something ancient stalks the dark
    • Fight the unseen — revenants, corrupted creatures, and eldritch horrors haunt the wastes. Craft weapons, stand together, and defend your train when they close in. Fall alone — or stand and burn as one
    • Solo or 4-player co-op — brave the wasteland entirely on your own, or gather up to three allies to share the watch, split duties, and survive the worst together

    Built On Experience — A New Kind of Survival

    FakeFish earned its reputation with Barotrauma, a game where the deadliest dangers were often the crew itself — and that same DNA runs through Frostrail. Every system matters: engine pressure, heat levels, resource stockpiles, and defensive readiness. In co-op, roles split naturally — someone stokes the furnace, someone scouts ahead, someone stands watch — and communication is the difference between reaching the next station and freezing in the drift.

    “We want to give survivors a real sense of being stranded and fighting back,” said Ez Jämsen, Lead Designer at FakeFish. “The train isn’t just a vehicle — it’s your last safe place in a world that’s forgotten how to be kind.”

    What The Demo Delivers

    The Steam Next Fest preview offers a substantial slice of the experience:

    • A stretch of frozen wasteland to explore, complete with distinct biomes and ruined settlements
    • Full train operation and basic upgrading — feel the weight of the controls and the reward of improvement
    • Encounters with the wasteland’s dangers — from biting cold to creeping things
    • A taste of the progression loop: scavenge, craft, reinforce, push deeper

    The Road Ahead

    Frostrail is targeting an Early Access launch in Q4 2026, with roughly a year planned in that phase to expand biomes, deepen crafting and combat, and refine co-op dynamics alongside the community. The price will rise alongside added content — making Early Access the most affordable time to board.

    Rifts, Rites & Return — Conan Exiles Enhanced Unleashes Legacy of the Giant-Kings Part Two!

    Step through the veil — something ancient and otherworldly is spreading across the Exiled Lands. FUNCOM®, working alongside Inflexion Games, has officially launched Part Two of Legacy of the Giant-Kings — the second chapter in a sweeping, completely free four-part story arc for Conan Exiles Enhanced. And the mystery is only just deepening.

    The Story So Far

    Following the discoveries made in the Cyclopean Halls and the secrets of Akhamet, reality itself has begun to fray. Strange, glowing Rifts now tear across the landscape — gateways to hostile realms beyond the known world. What lies on the other side? And what ancient force is pulling them open? This update expands the narrative across both the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah, with two more thrilling chapters still to come.

    What’s New in Part Two

    This is no mere patch — it’s a substantial new chapter packed with fresh threats, powers, and rewards:

    Enter the Rifts

    • Mysterious tears in reality appear in enemy camps across the map
    • Step through to face brutal, otherworldly arenas — unique combat challenges with no guaranteed path home
    • Each Rift offers distinct encounters and valuable loot for those strong enough to survive

    Four New Sorcery Spells

    • Expand your arcane arsenal with powerful new magic drawn from the outer dark
    • Fresh tactical options for spellcasters — whether you’re raining ruin down on foes or twisting reality to your will

    The Mi-Go Have Returned

    • The unsettling, otherworldly Mi-Go creatures are back — and they bring a terrifying new mini-boss
    • Defeat them to earn themed rewards, rare crafting materials, and the extraordinary chance to claim a Mi-Go as a thrall or pet for your settlement

    Completely Free

    • Every part of Legacy of the Giant-Kings is available at no extra cost to all owners of Conan Exiles Enhanced
    • No season pass required — just update and play

    The Road Ahead

    This is only the beginning. With Part Two live, Part Three and Part Four are still on the horizon — promising to conclude the mystery of the Giant-Kings with even greater revelations, threats, and expansions to the world.

  • Miles to Go — Zero To South Demo Hits Steam September 22! New Trailer Drops

    Miles to Go — Zero To South Demo Hits Steam September 22! New Trailer Drops

    Pack your bags, check your tyres, and fire up the engine — Voxel Bytes, the tight-knit two-person indie studio, has announced that the Steam demo for Zero To South — their post-Y2K road trip survival adventure — arrives September 22, accompanied by a brand-new trailer that shows exactly what awaits on the open road.

    The World Ended in 2000. Your Journey Begins Now.

    In an alternate timeline where the Y2K bug wasn’t just a scare — it crashed the system — society has fractured. You’re behind the wheel of an ageing taxi, heading south in search of warmth, safety, and answers. This isn’t just survival — it’s a road trip with everything on the line.

    What makes Zero To South stand out:

    • Your Cab Is Your Lifeline — Keep it fuelled, patched up, and upgraded. Scavenge towns and highway stops for spare parts, tyres, and fuel. If the car dies, you’re stranded
    • Scavenge & Survive — Hunt for food, water, and supplies in derelict settlements. Every building could hold what you need — or nothing at all
    • Pick Up Passengers — Travellers in need join your ride, bringing their own stories, skills, and jobs. Some will reward you; others may need protecting
    • Fight for the Route — Bandits block the highways and ambush convoys. Defend your taxi — and your cargo — with whatever you can lay hands on
    • Late-’90s Vibe — Retro visuals, period atmosphere, and that distinct turn-of-the-millennium flavour make every mile feel lived-in and unique

    Two Devs, One Vision

    Zero To South is the heartfelt creation of a two-person team proving that big ambition can come from a small studio. Every system — from vehicle physics to passenger dialogue — has been built with care and attention. The demo gives you the first taste of that journey, with the full release following later.

    Demo Details

    • Steam Demo: Live now — September 22, 2026
    • New Trailer: Released alongside the demo — watch it on the Steam store page or YouTube
    • Platform: PC via Steam
    • Wishlist: Add to your library today to catch the full launch when it arrives

    The road is long. The fuel is scarce. But the south is waiting. Will you make it?

  • Glide Into the Unknown — Moonwakers Rides Into Early Access Now

    Glide Into the Unknown — Moonwakers Rides Into Early Access Now

    Silence. Snow. Ash. And a world waiting to be remembered. Independent studio Gaman Games has quietly launched Moonwakers — their atmospheric “chill-core” survival adventure — into Early Access on Steam, inviting players to glide across haunting landscapes and uncover what became of everything we knew.

    Chill-Core Survival — Ride, Explore, Endure

    Moonwakers defies the usual survival noise. This is chill-core: a gentler, meditative take on the genre where peace and peril walk hand in hand. You step into the role of a S.E.E.D — an advanced reconnaissance android — dispatched to survey a world draped in snow, dusted with ash, and etched with the quiet ruins of a forgotten past.

    At the heart of it all is movement. Carve across vast, sweeping terrain on a futuristic board, gliding down slopes, drifting through drifts, and skimming over ashen flats with fluid, graceful speed. It’s not just travel — it’s the soul of the game.

    What Lies Beneath the Ash

    Your mission is simple but profound: discover the truth of this world. Is it alien? A distant future? Or something far closer to home? Gaman Games deliberately leaves that question for you to answer, piece by quiet piece.

    Along the way you’ll:

    • Survey & Gather — Seek out life-sustaining elements to understand the planet’s — and humanity’s — fate
    • Manage Your Energy — Your most precious resource. Balance exploration with rest, conserve power through storms, and find shelter when the skies turn hostile
    • Unlock & Evolve — Gain new skills, boost your speed, extend your glide, and move with ever-greater freedom the more you discover
    • Weather the World — Ion storms sweep in without warning. Know where to hide — and when to run

    Quietly Yours — Early Access Begins Today

    There’s no loud fanfare here. Gaman Games says simply: “No huge marketing campaign. No massive announcement. No promise of perfection. Just a game we wanted to finally put into your hands.”

    Moonwakers is available right now on Steam, priced at £9.33 / $11.04 — a launch discount of 15% running until September 29. Early Access will shape the experience alongside player feedback as the world expands and deepens.

    The board is ready. The horizon calls. Will you ride into the unknown?
