  • The Big Freeze: Permafrost Debuts Chilling New Gameplay Trailer at Future Games Show

    The Big Freeze: Permafrost Debuts Chilling New Gameplay Trailer at Future Games Show

    The survival genre is about to get a whole lot colder. Developer SpaceRocket Games and publisher Toplitz Productions have just premiered a brand-new gameplay trailer for their upcoming survival sandbox, Permafrost, during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2026.

    If you thought a British winter was harsh, this game is here to provide some perspective. Set in the aftermath of a cataclysmic lunar event known as “The Shattering,” Permafrost thrusts players into a world where the moon is broken, the sun is a memory, and the entire planet has been plunged into a perpetual, sub-zero apocalypse.

    Survive the “White Hell”

    The latest footage offers a deep dive into the brutal beauty of this frozen wasteland. In Permafrost, the environment isn’t just a backdrop—it’s your primary antagonist. Players must manage more than just a hunger bar; you’ll be battling hypothermia, exhaustion, and the psychological toll of a world that never thaws.

    Key features highlighted in the new trailer include:

    The Shattered World: Explore a vast open world filled with abandoned cities, frozen forests, and secret-laden caves.

    Solo or Co-op: Brave the frost alone or team up with up to three friends in 4-player online co-op.

    Man’s Best Friend: The trailer showcases the canine companion—a rescued dog that acts as an early-warning system for danger and helps carry your scavenged loot.

    Scavenge and Rebuild: Use “lost technology” and upcycled scrap to build intricate bases, craft primitive weapons, or restore machinery to help society reclaim the ice.

    Factions and Threats: It’s not just the cold; you’ll face rival factions, raiders, and natural predators all fighting for the world’s dwindling resources.

    Early Access and Playtest Info

    Toplitz Productions confirmed that Permafrost is eyeing a PC Early Access launch later in 2026 (via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store), with a console version for PS5 also in the works.

    “We want to make this a truly memorable experience where you can feel the imminent danger of the icy cold… the deceiving beauty of falling snow beyond the borders of your screen.” — Toplitz Productions

    For those who don’t want to wait for the official launch, the developers announced an upcoming playtest. You can head over to the Official Permafrost Steam Page right now to wishlist the game and register for a chance to help shape the development.

  • Standby The Wild West Legacy Rides Onto Consoles

    Standby The Wild West Legacy Rides Onto Consoles

    Dust off your spurs and check your revolvers—the frontier is officially open for business. After building a dedicated following on PC, Wild West Legacy has finally galloped onto PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

    Developed by Moon Punch Studio and published by Toplitz Productions, this isn’t just another shooter set in the desert. It’s a deep, gritty survival sandbox that asks a simple but difficult question: do you have what it takes to not only survive the American Midwest but to tame it?

    More Than Just a Gunfight

    While many Western games focus solely on the “outlaw” lifestyle, Wild West Legacy leans heavily into the Dynasty style of gameplay that Toplitz is famous for. You start with nothing but the clothes on your back after a wagon trek gone wrong. Your first priority? Not freezing to death during a blistering prairie night.

    Once you’ve secured some food and shelter, the real game begins:

    Settlement Management: You aren’t just a lone ranger. You’ll need to convince other settlers to join your cause, assigning them roles to help your village thrive.

    Deep Crafting & Building: From a humble sod house to a bustling town with saloons and stables, the building system is robust and highly customizable.

    Survival Mechanics: You’ll need to contend with seasonal changes, wild animals, and the constant need for resources like water and timber.

    The Ultimate Edition Experience

    For the console launch, players are getting the Ultimate Edition right out of the gate. This version is optimised for the latest hardware, offering stunning vistas of the fictitious American Midwest in 4K.

    The console release also includes a “stagecoach full” of digital extras, including:

    The New Hope Gazette: A collection of digital magazines detailing the game’s lore.

    Hancock’s Secret: A digital novel that serves as a prequel to the game’s events.

    The Wild West Cookbook: Because even a pioneer needs to know how to whip up a decent stew.

    Is It Worth the Ride?

    If you’re a fan of Medieval Dynasty or Sengoku Dynasty, you’ll feel right at home here. The transition to consoles has brought a revamped UI that feels natural on a controller, making the complex management menus much easier to navigate from the comfort of your sofa.

    The frontier is unforgiving, but for those who enjoy seeing a small campfire grow into a thriving community, Wild West Legacy offers a satisfying loop of exploration and expansion that is hard to put down.

    TechMash Verdict: A refreshing take on the Western genre that trades mindless shootouts for meaningful progression and community building.

  • New ‘Kanata’ Update Brings a Tropical Archipelago and Overhauled Village Life to Sengoku Dynasty

    New ‘Kanata’ Update Brings a Tropical Archipelago and Overhauled Village Life to Sengoku Dynasty

    It’s time to dust off your straw sandals and sharpen your katana. Sengoku Dynasty, the ambitious blend of open-world survival, RPG, and city-builder, has just received its most significant expansion to date. Released on March 12, 2026, the ‘Kanata’ Update (Version 1.2) is now live on PC and consoles, and it is a massive game-changer.

    The name Kanata translates to “far away” or “beyond,” which is fitting given that this update pushes the boundaries of the Nata Valley further than ever before. If you thought you had mastered the mainland, think again—there is a whole new world waiting for you in the southwest.

    A New Frontier: The Tropical Archipelago

    The crown jewel of this update is the brand-new Subtropical Archipelago. This isn’t just a small landmass; it’s a sprawling new area that expands the game’s playable world by roughly 30%.

    The archipelago is divided into three distinct biomes, each offering its own atmosphere and challenges:

    The Mangroves: Dense, watery thickets perfect for hidden outposts.

    The Jungle: A lush, exotic wilderness teeming with new flora and fauna.

    The Dormant Volcano: A dramatic landscape that provides a striking backdrop for your new settlements.

    As you explore these sandy beaches, you’ll encounter new wildlife like tortoises and herons, and gather unique resources such as yuzu and plums. You can even try your hand at new recipes like tortoise soup—provided you can find the ingredients.

    New Threats and New Mechanics

    Life in the sun isn’t all relaxation. The archipelago introduces a dangerous new faction: Organised Pirates. These sea-faring foes have set up camps across the islands, posing a constant threat to your expansion.

    To help you deal with these brigands, the update introduces:

    Overhauled Combat: Movement and strikes feel “slicker” and more responsive.

    Charged Attacks: A new combat ability that lets you deliver devastating blows.

    Fishing Stations: You can finally take to the water to gather food. Build a station and fish yourself, or assign a villager to handle the chores while you focus on leadership.

    Rebuilding the Heart of Your Village

    The ‘Kanata’ update doesn’t just add new land; it completely reimagines how you grow your community. The Bell Tower, the central landmark of every village, has been overhauled with a seven-tier progression system.

    Instead of a static building, the Bell Tower now grows alongside your settlement. Each tier upgrade increases your village radius and population limit, allowing you to choose between creating small, specialised outposts or one massive, sprawling capital city.

    Pro Tip: You no longer need to rely on the Abbot for your supply of Alarm Bells. You can now craft these yourself, giving you much more autonomy over how and where you choose to expand your dynasty.

    Quality of Life: Managing the Chaos

    For the seasoned Daimyo, the most welcome changes might be the massive quality-of-life improvements. Managing a bustling village can get hectic, but Superkami has introduced sortable workplace and population lists and a new auto-assign feature. With a single button, you can now house refugees and assign workers to available beds and jobs, cutting down on the micromanagement.

    Verdict

    The Kanata update feels like the moment Sengoku Dynasty truly finds its stride. With a beautiful new environment, deeper village progression, and the added danger of pirate raids, there’s never been a better time to jump back into feudal Japan.

    The update is free and available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

  • Vampires: Bloodlord Rising Launches on Early Access

    Vampires: Bloodlord Rising Launches on Early Access

    Vampires: Bloodlord Rising (formerly known as Vampire Dynasty) officially clawed its way into Early Access. Developed by Mehuman Games and published by Toplitz Productions, this open-world action RPG attempts to blend the gritty survival of V Rising with the deep, narrative-driven lineage of the Dynasty series.

    Set in the brooding, medieval land of Sangavia, you play as Dragos, a vampire lord awakened from a centuries-long slumber. Your goal? Reclaim your throne, fight back against a relentless Inquisition, and build an empire that would make Dracula blush.

    Core Gameplay: Sovereignty and Survival

    The game differentiates itself from standard survival-crafting titles by placing a heavy emphasis on social management and story. You aren’t just surviving the night; you are ruling it.

    • The Clothing System: One of the most unique features is the ability to swap between “Aristocrat” and “Hunter” forms. The Aristocrat allows you to walk among humans, tax villages, and gather intelligence. The Hunter form is for the shadows—draining blood and engaging in combat, though it risks alerting the Inquisition.
    • Castle Building: Your fortress is more than a base; it’s a symbol of your power. The modular building system allows for sprawling gothic spires and secret chambers.
    • Minion Management: You can turn villagers into loyal thralls. These servants handle the “busy work”—gathering resources and maintaining the castle—freeing you up to explore or hunt.

    The Early Access Roadmap

    While the launch version is “filled to the brim” with five distinct biomes and a functional co-op mode for up to four players, Mehuman Games has a roughly 12-month development plan to reach full release.

    What’s Currently Available:

    • Five Biomes: Including the resource-rich Hell’s Chasm.
    • Skill Trees: Five main progression paths—Explorer, Hunter, Guardian, Artisan, and Enchanter.
    • Co-op: Fully integrated 4-player multiplayer.

    What’s Coming Next:

    • Character Creation: Deepening the RPG experience with more visual customisation.
    • Land & Story Expansion: New chapters to the campaign and larger map sectors.
    • New Forms: Additional shapeshifting abilities beyond the standard bat form.

    Early Impressions: A Gothic Diamond in the Rough

    Early reviews highlight a “strong vampire fantasy” with an atmosphere that nails the Eastern European folklore aesthetic. However, as is common with Early Access, there are some growing pains. Players have noted technical polish issues, such as floaty combat and occasional AI pathing bugs (like deer getting stuck on rocks).

    Despite these hitches, the consensus is that the blend of city management and action RPG provides a loop that is much more engaging than the “generic” survival label suggests.

    Pro-Tip for New Lords: Don’t rush the main quest. Prioritise upgrading your Castle Core to level two early; this allows you to create more vampire servants to automate your resource gathering while you go out to master the timing of your dashes and counters.
