Even a decade and a half after its initial launch, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim refuses to let go of its crown. Bethesda’s masterpiece continues to draw in massive player numbers, and we all know exactly why: an unstoppable, fiercely dedicated modding community.
While we all twiddle our thumbs waiting for The Elder Scrolls VI, a massive new verified Creation has dropped that might just be the closest thing to an official DLC we’ve seen in years. Developed by the legendary team at Kinggath Creations, “Sigil of the Fallen” is a hefty, premium expansion that injects a brilliant injection of fresh lore, mechanics, and dungeons into Tamriel.
Here is why you need to boot up your PC or Xbox and head back to Skyrim immediately.
The Mystery of the Soul Sanctum
The journey kicks off when rumours of bizarre, supernatural sightings reach your ears just northeast of Markarth. This leads you to the discovery of the Sigil Geode, a mysterious artefact that accidentally unleashes ancient spirits across the province.
To clean up this spectral mess, you’re pulled into the Soul Sanctum—a brand-new questline tracking the fates of three legendary heroes and a young girl burdened with an unfortunate gift. This isn’t just a quick fetch quest, either; Kinggath Creations has packed this expansion with multiple massive, custom-built dungeons filled with mind-bending puzzles, hidden secrets, and punishing boss fights that will push your high-level builds to their limits.
Meet Your New 4-in-1 Spirit Companion
One of the most innovative features of Sigil of the Fallen is your new ghostly follower. Rather than just another standard companion who gets stuck in doorways, this Spirit Guide is a highly dynamic asset to your party.
She has the unique ability to channel the forms, memories, combat abilities, and distinct voices of the fallen heroes you encounter.
Class-Shifting on Demand: You can dynamically swap her combat class depending on what your current encounter requires.
Progression: As you progress through the expansion, you will unlock new powers and upgrade her abilities, turning her into a true powerhouse.
Mighty Relics with a Twist
What’s a Skyrim adventure without some shiny new loot? Sigil of the Fallen introduces three incredibly powerful, fully upgradeable relics that feature unique gameplay mechanics rather than standard stat boosts:
The Shield: Features a massive slam ability to clear out groups of aggressive enemies.
The Mace: Perfect for melee builds, allowing you to instantly close the distance between you and your target.
The Staff: Allows mages to summon volatile, explosive orbs to control the battlefield.
As you dive deeper into the backstories of the items’ original owners, you’ll unlock materials to upgrade these weapons into devastating end-game gear.
Ghost Hunting Across Tamriel
The expansion integrates seamlessly into the wider world of Skyrim. The spirits unleashed by the Sigil Geode will actively possess items, furniture, doors, and enemies throughout the map. You can take on official jobs from the Priests of Arkay to clear out these hauntings, hunting down spirits to harvest the essential materials required to upgrade your Spirit Companion.
TechMash Tip:Sigil of the Fallen is fully voice-acted with professional quality, making it feel like native DLC. It is highly recommended for characters Level 20 or higher. You can trigger the questline automatically by speaking to any Innkeeper for work once you hit level 20, or you can manually discover the cave entrance northeast of Markarth at any level!
The Verdict
If you’ve been looking for a reason to lose another 20 hours to Skyrim, Sigil of the Fallen is it. Priced at 1000 Creation Credits on the official Bethesda Creations store for PC and Xbox, it delivers a level of polish, voice acting, and mechanical innovation that rivals Bethesda’s own expansions.

If you’ve been counting down the seconds (Senku-style) to the grand finale of Dr. STONE, Epic Games and Crunchyroll have engineered the ultimate pre-party just for you.
Ahead of the premiere of the series’ final animated cour, Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE, Crunchyroll dropped a brand-new launch trailer unveiling a massive takeover of the newly minted Crunchyroll Anime Island in Fortnite.
Missed the trailer or want the full breakdown of how to drop in? Let’s dive into how science is conquering the battle royale island.
Rebuilding Civilisation, One Battle Royale at a Time
The official watch party launch trailer showcases a custom-built paradise dedicated to the Kingdom of Science. Rather than just staring at a screen, players get an interactive celebration of all things Dr. STONE.
What’s on the Island?
Crunchyroll and Epic Games have brought some of the anime’s most iconic creations to life. When you jump in, you can explore:
The Ramen Cart: Senku’s legendary culinary masterpiece that won over the Village.
The Steam Gorilla: The makeshift, revolutionary automobile that advanced the Stone World’s industrial era.
The Perseus: The majestic, massive ship built to cross the open ocean.
The Ultimate Watch Party & In-Game Loot
The focal point of the island is the custom screening area. Fortnite players can gather to watch exclusive content, including creator insights and the thrilling first episode of Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE’s final cour, “FUTURE ENGINE” directly inside the game.
It isn’t just a walking tour, either. The launch trailer highlights science-themed challenge leaderboards, exclusive photo-op destinations, and custom Crunchyroll-themed weapons to ensure your battle royale skills stay as sharp as Senku’s mind.
How to Join: You don’t need a PhD to get in on the action. Simply search for “Crunchyroll Anime Island” in Fortnite’s Discover tab or enter the official island map code: 6044-5327-4490.
The Final Countdown
This custom limited-time island serves as the perfect victory lap for one of the most unique, educational, and thrilling anime of the decade. With the final episode of Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE airing on Crunchyroll on June 25, there is no better way to celebrate the stone-to-science journey.

Ubisoft has officially dropped the narrative cinematic trailer for The Division 2: Into the Dark, and it’s safe to say that Washington D.C. is about to get a whole lot bloodier. If you thought the capital was finally stabilising after pushing back the Black Tusk, think again. The vacuum has been filled, and an old enemy is back with a terrifyingly potent upgrade.
Check out the trailer breakdown and what this means for your next drop into the capital.
The Hyenas Have a New Addictive Edge
The narrative cinematic sets up a bleak new reality on the streets. With the Black Tusk presence weakened, the chaotic Hyena faction has seized the opportunity to tighten their grip on Washington D.C.
How? They’ve weaponised a brand-new, highly volatile variant of “Spice.” This isn’t just a street drug anymore; it’s a chemical compound recovered right out of the Dark Zone that makes their fighters hyper-aggressive, incredibly resistant to pain, and brutal to bring down. Civilians are going missing, chaos is spreading, and the streets are slipping back into total anarchy.
“To push them back, you must return to the most dangerous place in Washington D.C.—The Dark Zone.”
Redefining the Dark Zone Experience
This season places the Dark Zones directly at the heart of the endgame narrative, and Ubisoft is backing it up with a massive gameplay overhaul. Whether you are a hardcore PvP sweeper or a PvE player who usually avoids the DZ like the plague, Into the Dark has something for you:
The Toxic Dark Zone (PvE Variant): A seasonal, 12-agent shared space designed for players who want high-stakes extraction tension without the constant threat of rogue PvP players. You’ll fight waves of buffed Hyenas, manage severe “Toxicity” mechanics, and extract Sample Cannisters to disrupt the Spice supply line.
The Balanced Dark Zone (PvPvE): For the purists. This zone features high-level normalisation based on Conflict rules. SHD Watch and Expertise bonuses are completely disabled here, levelling the playing field so that tactical skill—not just hours gritted into a build—determines who wins a gunfight.
PvP Rebalancing:Ubisoft is kicking off a long-term campaign to overhaul PvP, starting with massive tweaks to overperforming and underused Weapon and Gear Talents to diversify the meta.
High Stakes, High Rewards
If you’re brave enough to step into these updated zones, the loot table upgrades are massive. Exotic Component drop rates from Landmark Chests have been bumped up significantly (up to 40% in PvP DZs and 25% in the Toxic DZ), meaning optimising your endgame builds is about to get a lot smoother.
Coupled with a fresh Season Pass, an upcoming Incursion later in the season, and two new Classified Assignments (Conspiracy Zone Hideout and McMillan Reservoir Assault), Into the Dark is shaping up to be one of the most intense, high-stakes updates the game has seen in years.
The Into the Dark update is live right now. Lock and load, Agents—it’s time to head back into the shadows.
Are you ready to face the upgraded Hyenas, or will you be sticking to the light? Let us know your thoughts on the new cinematic and the PvE Dark Zone in the comments below!
The battle for global supremacy is back! The PUBG Nations Cup 2026 (PNC 2026) is officially kicking off in Seoul, South Korea, bringing together 24 all-star national teams to fight for their country’s pride and a massive $500,000+ prize pool.
But PNC 2026 isn’t just a spectacle for viewers. Krafton has dropped two massive features to get players directly in on the action: the PNC 2026 Event Pass and the brand-new, highly strategic PUBG Fantasy League.
If you want to unlock exclusive esports cosmetics and win free G-Coin, here is your definitive guide to maximising your rewards during the tournament from June 23 to June 28.
Part 1: The PNC 2026 Event Pass – Rewards & Progression
Running alongside the main tournament, the PNC 2026 Event Pass is live on PC for a budget-friendly $3.99 (or via G-Coin equivalents).
Unlike a standard, long-term Battle Pass, this Event Pass is highly condensed and tailored specifically around the duration of the Nations Cup. It acts as your primary progression hub while you watch the matches unfold.
How it works:
Earn Pass XP: Complete dedicated daily and weekly in-game missions, or simply accumulate survival time in normal matches.
Crowdfunded Prize Pool: 25% of the revenue generated from the Event Pass and designated PNC 2026 items goes directly into increasing the pro tournament’s prize pool.
The Loot: Levelling up unlocks exclusive esports-themed items, contraband coupons, emblems, special sprays, and unique tournament collectables to commemorate the Seoul showdown.
TechMash Tip: If you’re short on time but want the cosmetics, you can purchase individual levels for 100 G-Coin each. The pass is on sale until June 30, so make sure to grab it before it leaves the store!
Part 2: PUBG Fantasy – Build Your Dream Roster
The biggest buzz around PNC 2026 is the revamped PUBG Fantasy League. This PC-only feature changes the game by letting you act as a general manager, predicting real-world match outcomes to climb a global leaderboard.
The Rules of the Market
Unlike traditional fantasy esports, where you draft individual players, PNC 2026 Fantasy tasks you with selecting 4 whole national teams within a starting budget of $4 Million.
Dynamic Pricing: A team’s cost fluctuates based on their real-world popularity and how many fantasy players are picking them.
Budget Scaling: If your selected teams increase in value on a Game Day, your total fantasy budget expands for the next round. If they tank, your budget shrinks.
Roster Locks: You can freely swap teams before the daily matches start, but your roster will lock automatically as soon as the first game of the day begins.
Scoring Points & Bonuses
Your teams earn Basic Fantasy Points through their live performance: placement points, total kills, and survival time. However, the secret to hitting the top 1% lies in the bonuses:
Slot Bonus: You can designate one team as your “Favourite” to apply a point multiplier to their score.
Match Achievements: Extra points are awarded for outstanding games, such as Dominance or securing the Terminator (kill leader) title.
Game Day Achievements: Massive point bumps for macro milestones, like a team securing Two Chicken Dinners in a single day or showcasing Perfect Teamwork.
Smart Picks & Strategy for the Survival Stage
With the tournament split between the Survival Stage (June 23–24) and the Grand Finals (June 26–28), your strategy needs to adapt quickly.
The top 8 teams from last year’s PNC auto-qualified for the Grand Finals, meaning the remaining 16 squads are fighting tooth-and-nail in the Survival Stage just to make it through. Here’s who you should keep an eye on to maximise early value:
Team Ukraine ($1.15M): Composed largely of elite NAVI players. Because they already have pre-existing team cohesion and rigid tactical protocols, they are highly reliable picks for consistent placement points.
The Neutral Roster ($1.31M): Featuring powerhouse fragments from Twisted Minds, this squad brings immense gunfighting skill. While the competitive shift to TPP has thrown them some curveballs, the addition of Lev4nte makes them a high-kill threat.
Watch the Market: Look for dark horse teams with low pick-rates ($ underdogs) on Day 1. If they have a decent showing, their price will jump, boosting your overall budget for the Grand Finals.
The Payoff: What Can You Win?
Playing PUBG Fantasy isn’t just for bragging rights—it’s a direct ticket to free currency. Rankings are calculated at the end of the tournament, and rewards are performance-based:
Global Leaderboard Rank
G-Coin Reward
Top 1%
1,000 G-Coin
Top 2% – 5%
750 – 400 G-Coin
Top 10%
300 G-Coin
Top 25%
200 G-Coin
Top 50%
100 G-Coin
Crucial Note: You must claim your rewards manually in-game between June 29 and July 7. If you miss the deadline, your hard-earned G-Coin will disappear into the blue zone!
Don’t Forget the Freebies!
Even if you aren’t playing Fantasy, log into your Krafton ID to participate in the Fan Cheer Event for a free PNC 2026 Nameplate and a raffle ticket for up to 5,000 G-Coin. Plus, link your Twitch or Kick accounts to secure the exclusive PNC 2026 Jacket via official stream Drops.
Get your rosters locked, level up that pass, and enjoy the highest-stakes PUBG tournament of the year!
Indie developer Spiderware has some massive news for MMO and roguelite fans. Their smash-hit, web-based pixel-art MMORPG, Soulbound: Online, is officially making the leap to PC—and you can play it right now.
To celebrate its upcoming storefront launch, Spiderware has dropped a massive playable demo for Steam Next Fest, giving players a huge head start before the game’s official release on July 21st.
From Browser Sensation to Steam Heavyweight
If you haven’t heard of Soulbound yet, you’re missing out on a certified underground phenomenon. Originally launched as a native browser and Discord title, this indie darling has quietly amassed an incredible community of over 1,000,000 players without the traditional backing of a major storefront launcher.
Now, London-based Spiderware is taking things to the next level. The Steam Next Fest demo isn’t just a tiny vertical slice; it offers over 7 hours of playable content, introducing newcomers to the game’s opening story chapters, solo play, and 3-player co-op action.
What to Expect: Bullet Heaven Fuses with Classic MMO Meta
Soulbound masterfully splits its loop into two distinct experiences: a shared overworld filled with quests and a player-driven economy, and brutal, fast-paced roguelite dungeons.
Build Your Ultimate Pioneer: Forget rigid class locks. Soulbound features deep skill trees and over 100 swappable ability paths. You can build a traditional heavy Tank, a crucial Healer, a high-damage DPS character, or a hybrid of your own design, with the freedom to respec instantly between runs.
Survive the Bullet Heaven Dungeons: Once you step inside the instanced dungeons, the game shifts into a chaotic, action-packed survivor experience. Face massive enemy swarms and procedurally escalating boss phases. No two runs are identical.
Establish Your Base of Operations: Your customizable home base isn’t just a cosmetic flex. It serves as your main hub for progression, where you upgrade salvaged materials, craft legendary gear, and manage your economy.
The Threat of The Anima: Story-wise, you awaken in a digital reality hunted by malevolent entities known as The Anima. Saved by a friendly robotic companion, it is up to you—either solo or with a 3-player squad—to gear up, form guilds, and push back the corruption.
Grab the Demo Today!
With an established million-user player base and a highly anticipated Steam leaderboard to climb, Soulbound is shaping up to be one of the summer’s most addictive indie multiplayer releases.
Head over to the Soulbound Steam Page right now to dive into the 7+ hour Next Fest demo, test your builds, and add it to your wishlist before it officially drops on July 21st.

Dark fantasy fans and strategy tacticians, unite! Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games have officially joined forces to unleash The Gate Must Stand onto PC via Steam. Developed by Senmu Studio, this highly anticipated indie title drops players right into the final, desperate defence of the fallen Kingdom of Belrak.
If you love the chaotic pressure of Survivors-likes, the tactical depth of Tower Defence, and the addictive loop of Action Roguelites, this is the blend you’ve been waiting for.
Hold the Line Against Impossible Odds
In The Gate Must Stand, the continent has fallen, the demonic invasion is at your doorstep, and you are the city of Belrak’s absolute last line of defence.
Unlike traditional tower defence games, where you safely manage lines from a bird’s-eye view, this game puts you right in the thick of the meat grinder. You will control a powerful hero, fighting hand-to-hand alongside your forces to defend a single, critical chokepoint: the city gate.
Your allies can fall, revive, and regroup, but remember: if the gate falls, it’s game over.
“Heroes can fall, but the gate must stand.”
Key Features At A Glance
Four Unique Heroes: Take control of diverse archetypes, from savage berserkers to devastating spellcasters, each featuring entirely distinct combat styles.
Insane Build Variety: Experiment with 149 Hero Skills and 150 Follower Skills to unlock massive, battlefield-clearing synergies.
Evolving Armies: Recruit from 19 base followers and use hard-won demonic relics to mutate them into 38 terrifying Ultimate Forms.
Apocalyptic Boss Fights: Face off against brutal demonic bosses every 5 minutes. Defeat them to claim game-changing perks—if you survive.
True Roguelite Progression: When your defence inevitably crumbles, use your blood-stained experience to purchase permanent meta-upgrades and fortify your next run.
Out Now with an Introductory Discount!
The Gate Must Stand is officially live on Steam for a base price of $9.99 / £8.50. To celebrate the launch, Yogscast and Gamersky are offering a 30% introductory discount, making it the perfect time to grab your sword and rally the troops on a budget. Special bundle deals are also available if you want to pair it with other indie strategic hits!
Will you adapt, conquer, and keep the horrors at bay? Or will your defences collapse into panic and fire? Head over to Steam, grab your copy, and find out if you have what it takes to make the stand.
Surviving the alien hordes in Ulora just got a serious strategic upgrade. Indie developer CableHook Games has officially rolled out its third major content update for the Steam Early Access hit, Here Comes The Swarm.
Marking the successful completion of the team’s initial development roadmap, this latest drop is packed to the brim with meta-changing mechanics, massive quality-of-life improvements, and a brand-new deity designed to supercharge your resource management.
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to dive back into this tense, tactical-pause survival RTS, this is it. Here is everything you need to know about the latest update.
Bow Down to Yangwu: The Ultimate Economic Powerhouse
The star of this update is undoubtedly Yangwu, an all-new deity tailored specifically for players who love optimising their economy and settlement layout. If your strategy relies on massive resource production and creating late-game synergies, Yangwu is about to become your go-to choice.
Yangwu introduces an entire suite of economy-boosting blessings and mechanics:
The Yangwu Workshop: A brand-new buildable workshop that increases the production of nearby buildings by a whopping 30%.
Hand of Yangwu: Start your skirmish with Yangwu’s Bracelet, a powerful relic that earns Tribute from kills, chests, and shrines. Deposit this Tribute at your workshop to unlock massive global buffs.
Disconnected Efficiency: In a brilliant twist for base layout flexibility, Yangwu’s blessings allow production buildingsnot connected to your main Core to operate with an additional 30% effectiveness.
Resource Abundance: From spawning an extra Geyser near your Core to offering a 20% refund value on dead units and demolished buildings, Yangwu ensures your war chest stays full.
New Essences & Tactical Overhauls
Alongside Yangwu, CableHook Games has expanded the game’s roguelike customisation with a variety of new Essences. You can now experiment with boons like Compound Interest (which increases your production income based on stored resources) or Tent Subsidies to generate extra Blood Rubies from your dwellings.
Furthermore, the mechanics for disconnected structures have been completely reworked across the board. Previously, any building cut off from your Core would shut down entirely. Now, they will continue to operate at a baseline of 40% efficiency—keeping your economy alive even when the Swarm breaches your perimeter.
You can’t fight what you can’t see, and this update gives players much better tools to anticipate incoming attacks. The minimap has received a major overhaul:
Wave Visibility: Enemy waves and their exact spawn ranges are now permanently visible on your minimap.
Early Warning System: Wave locations are now announced a full two minutes in advance across all difficulty settings, giving you ample time to position your armies and fortify your walls.
Clarity Timers: New countdown timers and tooltips display exactly how much preparation time you have left before the bugs arrive.
The patch also brings extensive under-the-hood performance optimisations (specifically targeting rendering jitter and Ballista projectiles) alongside a long list of community-requested bug fixes, including fixes for unit pathfinding and clipping.
What’s Next for Here Comes The Swarm?
With the initial roadmap officially cleared, CableHook Games isn’t slowing down. The developers have already updated the in-game roadmap to tease what’s on the horizon—including three more major content updates and a highly anticipated, fully-fledged story campaign.
Have you tried out Yangwu yet? Let us know your ultimate economy builds in the comments below!
Here Comes The Swarm successfully blends the intense, nail-biting survival of They Are Billions with the tactical flexibility of a roguelike deckbuilder. If you haven’t played it yet, you can grab it right now on Steam Early Access—and yes, there’s currently a playable demo if you want to test your defences first!
For PC gamers who grew up in the mid-2000s, the mere mention of the town of Grove, fishing for rare artefacts, and sending a trusted pet back to town with a backpack full of loot triggers an instant wave of cosy nostalgia. Originally launched in 2005, Travis Baldree’s legendary action-RPG FATE paved the way for modern dungeon crawlers and directly inspired hits like Torchlight.
After making a massive comeback with a modern digital remaster, publisher gamigo has just announced the news physical media collectors have been waiting for: FATE: Reawakened is officially getting a physical release on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5!
Even better? They are partnering with the physical-release wizards at Limited Run Games to make it happen.
What’s Included in the Definitive Physical Edition?
This isn’t just a bare-bones disc or cartridge release. Priced at $49.99 USD, the physical edition functions as a definitive, complete collection for the franchise. If you pick it up, you are getting a massive bundle of nostalgic goodness:
The Full Quadrilogy: All four original games completely remastered in one package—FATE, FATE: Undiscovered Realms, FATE: The Traitor Soul, and FATE: The Cursed King.
The Prometheus DLC: The physical version includes the most recent content expansion, taking players into the shadowed, god-abandoned city of Prometheus to reclaim the Golden Flame from Erebos, the Titan of Darkness.
Exclusive Collectable Booklet: A physical art and lore booklet to proudly display on your shelf alongside the game.
Reawakened for a Modern Generation
If you missed the digital launch, FATE: Reawakened isn’t just a simple port. The entire collection has been treated to a complete graphical overhaul, boasting higher polygon counts, real-time directional lighting, and ambient occlusion.
The core mechanics that made the original a classic remain completely intact. You’ll still delve into procedurally generated dungeons where no two layouts are the same, fish to find rare items or transform your companion pet, and level up your character with complete freedom. Plus, you can seamlessly import your hero across all four games, taking your legacy from Grove all the way to the scorching desert dunes of Ekbatan.
Don’t Miss Out: Pre-Order Window Details
As is the tradition with Limited Run Games, this is a timed release. You won’t want to wait around on this one, as once the window shuts, copies will likely skyrocket on the secondhand market.
Pre-orders are open right now and run through July 19, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Whether you are a longtime fan looking to put a foundational piece of your childhood gaming history on your shelf, or a console player eager to dive into a genre trailblazer for the first time, head over to the Limited Run Games website to secure your copy.

Rain, Sleet, or Shine—The Mail Must Flow (At Your Own Pace)

Parcels are piling up to the ceiling, locals are waiting, and it’s up to you to restore the service to its former glory—one package at a time.
Unlike chaotic management sims that stress you out with ticking clocks, Cat Mail Co. is designed from the ground up as a zen experience. There are no timers and no penalties. Instead, the game focuses on the satisfying tactile rhythm of daily postal work:
Weighing & Sorting: Make sure every package is routed correctly.
Stamping & Labelling: Decorate and organise mail using a variety of whimsical stamps.

Deliver Solo or in 4-Player Co-op
Want some extra paws on deck? You don’t have to manage the chaos alone. Cat Mail Co. features up to 4-player online cooperative gameplay. You and your friends can team up to divide and conquer the mailroom backlog, or simply hang out together and enjoy the cosy atmosphere as a team.
“In an ever-changing and often unpredictable video game industry, we believe there is still a place for small indie games with strong creative vision. With Cat Mail Co., we wanted to offer players a truly relaxing experience…” — Sophie Schiaratura, Co-founder of Maracas Studio

Mark your calendars for July 17, 2026, because a post-apocalyptic summer of intensely tactical, card-modding, bandit-blasting fun is headed straight your way.
What is Fogpiercer?
Imagine a world swallowed by a deadly, perpetual fog where humanity’s last hope rests on the tracks of a rampaging armoured locomotive. In Fogpiercer, you are the conductor of this high-octane survival expedition.
Unlike traditional deckbuilders, your deck is directly tied to the construction of your train. Every locomotive, carriage, and driver you choose adds distinct tactical tools and cards to your hand.

Key Gameplay Features to Get Excited For:
Tactical Grid Combat: Engage in turn-based battles where positioning is everything. With limited action points, you’ll need to outsmart convoys that outnumber and surround you.
Environmental Devastation: Use the battlefield to your advantage. Ram bandits off cliffs, deploy shields, or use heavy artillery to send a leading enemy vehicle tumbling backwards, causing explosive chain reactions into the convoy behind them.
Endless Customisation: With over 170 cards, a deep modding system, and various status effects, you can craft a deck that perfectly matches your playstyle—whether you prefer brute-force firepower or high-tech hacking and decoys.
Branching Post-Apocalyptic Routes: Fine-tune your journey across hazardous regions filled with unique modifiers, random narrative encounters, and ruthless boss battles.
Where and When to Play
You won’t have to wait long to take the engineer’s seat. Version 1.0 of Fogpiercer will be officially released on July 17, 2026.

Retro arcade racing fans, it is time to start your engines and warm up those tyres. Polish indie publisher Pineapple Works and brilliant American solo-developer Walaber have officially dropped their cult hit, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, onto the Nintendo Switch!
Even better? It’s hitting the eShop alongside its brand-new European Tour DLC and a sweet -15% launch discount to kick off the high-speed celebrations.
Retro Vibes Meet Precision Drifting
If you miss the golden, low-poly era of 90s Sega Saturn arcade racers mixed with addictive Mario Kart physics, this is your next gaming obsession. The premise is as gloriously simple as it is chaotic: tight, precision rally racing held across re-purposed, multi-story parking structures in major cities.
With incredibly snappy controls, dynamic “smash-into-things” physics, and a thrilling ska soundtrack, it’s a brilliant love letter to retro gaming that will have you hooked on beating your best time-trial records.
What’s Included in the Switch Launch?
The Base Game: Race through uniquely challenging parking garages across the USA, dodging obstacles like falling rocks and sudden power cuts.
The European Tour DLC: Expand your global racing footprint with all-new international multi-story circuits right out of the box.

Retro fighting game fans, it’s time to dust off your arcade sticks. SNK CORPORATION has officially announced that NINJA MASTER’S: The Scroll of the Ninja Emperor is making its way onto PC via Steam.
The legendary 1996 weapon-based fighter is making its modern debut under SNK’s coveted NEOGEO Premium Selection label—a dedicated lineup curated by SNK and developed alongside emulation experts Code Mystics to give arcade classics the definitive, modern treatment they deserve.
If you’ve been waiting to revisit the chaotic, war-torn realm of Jipangu, the wait is almost over. The game is officially available to wishlist on Steam right now for $19.99 / €19.99.
Check out the official announcement trailer below to see it in action:
What Makes NINJA MASTER’S a Cult Classic?
Originally hitting arcades in 1996, NINJA MASTER’S stands out as one of the most uniquely stylised and mechanically deep fighters of the NEOGEO era. Set in a dark, fantasy-infused feudal Japan, the game follows 12 fierce warriors—including historical tyrants and legendary shinobi like Sasuke, Kasumi, and the iconic bosses Ranmaru and Nobunaga—clashing for ultimate supremacy.
The game’s defining mechanic is its seamless real-time weapon switching. At any point during a match, players can toggle between armed and unarmed combat. Pulling out your blade changes your reach, damage, and combo routes completely, demanding quick tactical adjustments mid-fight. Combined with an incredibly open-ended combo system, it remains a hidden gem that fighting game purists swear by.
Modern Enhancements for the Fighting Game Community
SNK isn’t just dropping a standard ROM on Steam; the NEOGEO Premium Selection edition is packed with major quality-of-life upgrades tailored for modern competitive play:
Rollback Netcode: Say goodbye to lag. The game features fully implemented, buttery-smooth rollback netcode for seamless online matches worldwide.
9-Player Lobbies & Tournaments: Gather the crew. Online lobbies support up to nine players, complete with a built-in Tournament Mode that offers Single Elimination, Double Elimination, and League (Round Robin) formats.
A Robust Practice Mode: Perfect your execution with dedicated training tools, including adjustable game speeds to help you learn those intricate, multi-hit combo routes.
Bonus Features: Challenge yourself in Time Attack Mode, unlock unique profile icons via Steam Achievements, and browse rare character artwork and design materials in the new Gallery Mode.
The NEOGEO Premium Selection Keeps Growing
NINJA MASTER’S marks the latest classic to join SNK’s premium initiative, following the successful Steam releases of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 and World Heroes Perfect. It’s a fantastic era for retro preservation, ensuring these beautifully animated 2D sprites live on with the flawless online matchmaking they always deserved.

Horror and action fans, grab your katanas and ammo belts. Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have officially deployed the first massive post-launch content drop for John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, and it is a bloody good time.
The Urban Blight Update is out now as a completely free download for players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store). If you thought the Sludge God’s initial outbreak was bad, wait until you see what happens when humanity tries to weaponise the leftovers.
Here is a breakdown of all the fresh, gore-soaked features landing in the update.
Back to the Concrete Jungle: The New Mission
Set exactly one year after the chaotic events of the main game, the fight shifts from the rural wastelands into the shattered ruins of Rockbridge. The shady Hopewell company—having learned absolutely nothing from past disasters—has attempted to weaponise the radioactive sludge. Surprise, surprise: it backfired horribly.
The Commandos are called back into active duty to clean up the neon-lit, rain-slicked city streets before the entire urban landscape collapses into another apocalyptic nightmare.
Air Hazards and Heavy Metal: New Enemies & Vehicles
The battlefield is evolving, meaning your squad has to deal with new threats and enjoy some highly destructive new toys.
The Hornet: Say hello to the game’s very first flying enemy. This mutated insectoid horror will swoop down, snatch unsuspecting players right off the ground, and drop them from lethal heights.
The Thrasher APC: A heavily armoured personnel carrier equipped with a devastating turret and missile system. The best part? It can be found and utilised across multiple maps in the game.
The Forklift: An exclusive, objective-based vehicle tied directly to the new Urban Blight mission.
Lock and Load: 6 New Weapons
To counter the escalating horde, the update introduces six brand-new weapons to the Commandos’ arsenal, spanning across different slots to shake up your loadout meta:
Salvo MGL (Grenade Launcher)
Heartstopper Carbine LAC 3. Precision BAR Gen 1 (Sniper Rifle)
Thundershot OEP (Energy Pistol)
Obsidian OEP (Beam Weapon)
Sludgebane (A brutal new melee option)
Challenge Accepted: Daily & Weekly Trials
Looking for a reason to log in every day? The update introduces Trials, a structured challenge system featuring daily, weekly, and seasonal objectives (courtesy of Leon’s Assignments). Completing these high-stakes tasks will reward you with massive XP drops and exclusive cosmetic unlocks.
Looking for more style? > Alongside the free update, Focus Entertainment has launched Cosmetic Pack 1 (included in the Bloody Season Pass). It introduces graffiti and skull-themed weapon wraps, leopard-print vehicle customizations, unique survivor skins, and—yes—a popcorn weapon charm to honor the master of horror himself.
