    Meet Your New Inner Circle: GreedFall: The Dying World Spotlights Its Companions

    With the full release of GreedFall: The Dying World just weeks away, NACON and Spiders have pulled back the curtain on the heart of any great RPG: the party. A brand-new trailer recently dropped, introducing the eight companions who will join you on your journey across the continent of Gacane.

    In this prequel—set three years before the original game—you don’t play as a noble diplomat, but as a native of Teer Fradee uprooted from your home. Survival in the “Old World” depends on who has your back, and this latest reveal shows that your crew is as diverse as they are dangerous.

    The Faces of the Journey

    The new video doesn’t just show these characters in action; it introduces the voice talent bringing them to life. Here is a look at the companions you’ll be recruiting:

    CompanionBackgroundKey Traits
    AlvidaNaut GuildRebellious, determined navigator with a strong moral compass.
    FaustaThélèmeA slick diplomat and spy from the noble courts.
    LudwigFormer SoldierSarcastic ex-soldier turned smuggler who despises pretense.
    NílanTeer FradeeThe protagonist’s childhood friend and aspiring sage.

    SybilleMerchant CongregationUprooted noble caught in political intrigue; initially distrustful.
    TillCoin GuardA gruff former captain seeking redemption through service.

    More Than Just Backup

    Spiders is doubling down on the “Party RPG” DNA that fans of Dragon Age and KOTOR will find familiar. These companions aren’t just AI sidekicks; they are integral to every layer of the game:

    • Direct Combat Control: You can directly control your allies in battle, utilising their unique skill trees and specialities to create a balanced tactical team.
    • Deep Relationships: Your choices matter. Depending on your actions and dialogue, companions can become your closest friends, bitter rivals, or even soulmates.
    • Personal Quests: Each character has a dedicated questline that explores their history, motivations, and the secrets they carry.

    “Every decision shapes the fate of your journey and contributes to making your adventure a truly unique story.” — Spiders Studio

    Mark Your Calendars

    The road to Gacane is almost at its end. Whether you’re looking for a tactical combat challenge or a deep narrative experience, these eight companions are ready to help you shape the future of a dying world.

    • PC (1.0 Release): March 10, 2026
    • PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S: March 12, 2026

  • The Storm Has Arrived: Shrouded Sky is Live in ARC Raiders

    The Storm Has Arrived: Shrouded Sky is Live in ARC Raiders

    Raiders, batten down the hatches. The latest major update for ARC Raiders, titled Shrouded Sky, is officially live as of February 24, 2026. This isn’t just a minor patch; it’s a total atmospheric shift that brings the most volatile environmental conditions we’ve seen in the Rust Belt yet.

    If you haven’t dropped in since the update hit, here is everything you need to know about surviving the storm and the new threats lurking within it.

    The Main Event: Hurricane Map Condition

    Forget everything you know about navigating the surface. The Hurricane is now a permanent rotating map condition across Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport, and the Dam Battlegrounds.

    • Tactical Turbulence: The wind isn’t just a visual effect. Running with a tailwind gives you a significant speed boost, while fighting a headwind will drain your stamina and slow you to a crawl. Even your thrown items (grenades, flares) are now subject to wind trajectory.
    • Static Interference: The debris kicked up by the storm is lethal to tech. Your shields will steadily drain and glitch out if you leave them equipped for too long in the gale.
    • Low Visibility: Sound is swallowed by the wind and sightlines are cut short, making it easier to sneak up on squads—but even easier for the ARC to sneak up on you.

    New ARC Threats: Fireflies and Comets

    As if the weather wasn’t enough, two new ARC machines have been deployed to make your life difficult:

    1. The Firefly: An armoured flying machine that acts as a deadlier cousin to the Hornet. It emits a devastating jet of flame that can engulf a Raider in seconds.
    2. The Comet: Think of it as a “Pop” on steroids. This spherical machine honks (yes, honks) as it locks onto you, relentlessly chasing you down before detonating with a massive seismic boom.

    Seasonal Project & Progression

    • The Weather Monitoring System: A new five-stage Seasonal Player Project is available until March 31. You’ll need to brave the hurricanes to scavenge components for a monitoring system. Completion nets you 250 Raider Tokens and the exclusive Anemometer Backpack Charm.
    • The Surgeon Raider Deck: A new free progression track is now available. It includes the surgeon-inspired outfit, new cosmetic toggles, and—highly requested by the community—facial hair customisation options.

    Meta Shift: Weapon Balancing

    Embark Studios has also shaken up the gunplay. Popular “low-tier” weapons that were overperforming in PvP have seen some nerfs, while legendary weapons got some much-needed love:

    • The Stitcher & Kettle: Both received damage and headshot multiplier reductions to bring their Time-to-Kill (TTK) in line with other gear.
    • The Jupiter & Aphelion: These legendary rifles received buffs to their handling and reload speeds, making them much more viable for high-stakes encounters.

    What’s Next: Expedition 2

    The Second Expedition window opens today, February 25! Embark has listened to feedback regarding the grind: the required stash value for maximum rewards has been lowered to 3 million Coins (down from 5 million). Plus, if you missed out on skill points during the first Expedition, a new catch-up system allows you to earn those missed points now.

    Pro-Tip: Keep an eye out for the new interactive pianos scattered around residential areas. Sometimes you just need to play a tune while the world ends around you.

  • Delayed but Determined: REPLACED Shifts Release to April 14th

    Delayed but Determined: REPLACED Shifts Release to April 14th

    Sad Cat Studios and Thunderful have officially announced a short delay for their highly anticipated cyberpunk action platformer, REPLACED. Originally slated for a March 12 release, the game is now scheduled to launch on April 14, 2026.

    While a delay is never the news fans want to hear, the developers emphasised that the decision was made to ensure the final product lives up to the community’s high expectations.

    Key Highlights of the Announcement

    • New Release Date: April 14, 2026.
    • Reason for Delay: The team is utilising the extra four weeks for a “final layer of polish,” focusing on stability and performance based on feedback from the recent Steam demo.
    • Status of the Game: Sad Cat Studios confirmed that the game is “technically finished,” but as a small team working on their debut title, they want to ensure a “polished and stable” day-one experience.
    • The Demo is Still Live: If you haven’t played it yet, the Steam Demo remains available for those who want a taste of the gritty, 2.5D world of Phoenix-City.

    From the Developers

    In a heartfelt statement, Sad Cat Studios shared:

    “As a small team working on our very first title, we’ve poured everything we have into this project… Reaching this final stretch has shown us that we need just a few more weeks to ensure the experience is exactly what you deserve.”

    The studio noted that the response to the Steam demo was “overwhelming in the best way possible,” and that player feedback is directly helping them make the final tweaks that will make the full game “shine.”

    What to Expect from REPLACED

    For those new to the project, REPLACED is a narrative-driven 2.5D platformer set in an alternate 1980s America. You play as R.E.A.C.H., an AI trapped in a human body, fighting to survive in a world ravaged by nuclear catastrophe and corporate greed.

    The game has garnered massive attention for its stunning “pixel-cinematic” art style and “free-flow” combat inspired by the Batman: Arkham series.

    REPLACED will be available on PC and Xbox Series X|S, and will be a Day One release on Xbox Game Pass.

  • Welcome to Seashell Island: Under the Island is OUT NOW!

    Welcome to Seashell Island: Under the Island is OUT NOW!

    Grab your hockey stick and pack your bags—it’s time for an adventure that feels exactly like a Saturday morning in 1993. We are beyond thrilled to announce that Under the Island, the debut title from Slime King Games, has officially launched today!

    Whether you’re a veteran of 16-bit classics or a newcomer looking for a world bursting with secrets, Seashell Island is ready for you. You can pick it up right now on PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox.

    A Sinking Mystery Awaits

    In Under the Island, you play as Nia, a plucky teenager who has just moved to a remote island with her scientist parents. Moving is hard enough, but Nia soon discovers something much worse than being the “new kid”: Seashell Island is destined to sink beneath the ocean.

    Teaming up with a local girl named Avocado, you’ll explore a vibrant, interconnected world to find the ancient cogs needed to save your new home. From the frozen heights of Bran Bran Peak (where cereal is mysteriously mined) to eerie sentient greenhouses and chaotic sawmills, the island is packed with personality and peril.

    Why You’ll Love It:

    • Classic ’90s Soul: Featuring stunning pixel art by Simone Grünewald (former Art Director at Daedalic Entertainment), the game captures the “Golden Era” aesthetic with modern fluidity.
    • Player-Driven Exploration: No hand-holding here. The island is your oyster. Discover secret caves, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover the mysteries of the ancient Volarians at your own pace.
    • Unconventional Combat: Forget legendary swords. Nia starts her journey with a trusty hockey stick. You’ll need to use your wits—and a variety of unique tools like animal treats, trumpets, and even a bird companion—to outsmart vomiting eggplants and tunnelling wolves.
    • Non-Linear Puzzles: Much like the classics that inspired us, the world is a giant puzzle. Finding a new item doesn’t just help you in a dungeon; it opens up shortcuts and secrets across the entire map.

    “We wanted to create something that felt like the games we grew up with—titles like The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening—but with our own quirky, modern twist. It’s been a six-year journey of love, and we can’t wait for you to see what’s hidden under the island.”

    — Johannes & Simone Grünewald, Slime King Games

  • Neva: Prologue a new paid DLC

    Neva: Prologue a new paid DLC

    The developers at Nomada Studio have a knack for turning heartbreak into high art. If Gris was a study in grief, Neva is a masterclass in the fierce, terrifying, and beautiful bond of parenthood and legacy.

    For those who have already fallen in love with this watercolour world, the Neva: Prologue serves as a breathtaking introduction to the journey of Alba and her lupine companion. Here’s why this opening chapter is staying with players long after the screen goes dark.

    A World Painted in Emotion

    Right from the opening frame, the Prologue establishes its identity. While it shares the DNA of its predecessor, Neva feels more tactile and urgent. The hand-drawn environments aren’t just backdrops; they are living, breathing entities that react to your presence.

    • The Palette: We move from the sterile, crumbling whites of a dying world into lush, vibrant forests.
    • The Soundscape: The hauntingly beautiful score by Berlinist returns, perfectly capturing the transition from serene peace to sudden, jarring shadows.

    The Bond: More Than a Mechanic

    In the Prologue, we meet Neva as a cub—curious, vulnerable, and occasionally stubborn. The relationship between Alba and Neva isn’t just a narrative trope; it’s baked into the gameplay.

    1. Communication: You can call out to Neva, and her reaction changes based on the environment and her mood.
    2. Protection: The Prologue sets the stakes early. You aren’t just platforming for yourself; you are constantly checking over your shoulder to ensure the cub is safe.
    3. Growth: Unlike many “escort missions” that feel like a chore, Neva feels like a partner in training. You feel her growth in every jump and every shy interaction with the world.

    The Creeping Rot

    The peace of the Prologue is intentionally fragile. The introduction of the “darkness”—the black, oily entities that consume the forest—shifts the tone from a nature walk to a fight for survival. This is where we see Alba’s resolve. She isn’t just a wanderer; she is a guardian.

    “The Prologue doesn’t just ask you to play a game; it asks you to care for a life that isn’t your own.”

    Why the Prologue Matters

    The genius of this opening chapter lies in its restraint. It doesn’t dump lore or complex tutorials on you. Instead, it uses environmental storytelling to show you the stakes. By the time the Prologue ends, you aren’t just playing because the art is pretty; you’re playing because you’ve made a silent promise to keep Neva safe.

    Neva: Prologue is a stunning reminder that video games can be a vessel for pure, unadulterated empathy. It’s a quiet beginning to what promises to be an epic, emotional crescendo.

  • REANIMAL: A Fresh Take on Puzzle Platforming

    REANIMAL: A Fresh Take on Puzzle Platforming

    Are you a fan of puzzle platformers that challenge your mind and reflexes? Do you enjoy games with a unique art style and a charming premise? Then look no further than REANIMAL, a delightful indie title that puts a fresh spin on familiar mechanics.

    REANIMAL, developed by Tarsier Studios, plunges players into a vibrant, abstract world where the goal is to guide an adorable, shape-shifting creature through a series of increasingly intricate levels. But this isn’t just any platformer; the core of REANIMAL lies in its ingenious “transformation” mechanic.

    The Power of Transformation

    At the heart of REANIMAL’s gameplay is the ability to change your character’s form. Imagine being able to switch between different animal-like shapes, each with its own unique abilities. Need to jump higher? Transform into a bouncy rabbit! Need to squeeze through a tight space? Become a slithering snake! This constant need to adapt and strategise on the fly is what makes REANIMAL so engaging.

    A World of Puzzles and Platforms

    The level design in REANIMAL is truly a highlight. Each stage is a carefully crafted puzzle box, requiring players to not only master the platforming elements but also to cleverly utilise their transformation abilities to overcome obstacles. From navigating perilous spike pits to activating switches and pushing blocks, every challenge feels fresh and rewarding. The difficulty scales beautifully, introducing new mechanics and combining existing ones in clever ways that keep you on your toes without ever feeling unfair.

    Visuals and Atmosphere

    REANIMAL boasts a distinctive visual style that is both minimalist and incredibly charming. The clean lines, vibrant colour palette, and whimsical character designs create an inviting and immersive experience. The soundtrack, with its upbeat and playful tunes, perfectly complements the gameplay, adding another layer of enjoyment to your adventure.

    Why You Should Play REANIMAL

    REANIMAL is more than just a cute puzzle game; it’s a testament to innovative game design. It offers:

    • Unique Gameplay: The transformation mechanic sets it apart from other platformers.
    • Challenging Puzzles: Levels that require both brainpower and precise execution.
    • Charming Aesthetics: A delightful visual and auditory experience.
    • Rewarding Progression: A satisfying sense of accomplishment with each solved puzzle.

    Whether you’re a seasoned puzzle platformer veteran or new to the genre, REANIMAL offers something for everyone. It’s a game that will put a smile on your face and keep you entertained for hours.

  • Yeah, We’re Thinking He’s Back: Lionsgate and Saber Interactive Reveal AAA John Wick Game

    Yeah, We’re Thinking He’s Back: Lionsgate and Saber Interactive Reveal AAA John Wick Game

    The High Table has issued a new directive, and this time, the target is your console. During the February 2026 Sony State of Play, Lionsgate and Saber Interactive officially pulled back the curtain on the project fans have been demanding for years: a high-budget, AAA John Wick video game.

    While the franchise has dipped its toes into the digital world before with the VR title Chronicles and the tactical John Wick Hex, this marks the first time the “Baba Yaga” will be getting a full-scale, third-person action experience designed to mirror the cinematic intensity of the billion-dollar film series.

    What We Know So Far

    The announcement came with a slick reveal trailer that confirmed several key details that should make any action fan breathe a sigh of relief:

    • Keanu Is In: This isn’t just a licensed skin. Keanu Reeves is officially reprising his role, providing both his likeness and voice to ensure the game feels like a true extension of the films.
    • A Prequel Story: The game features an original narrative set years before the “Impossible Task.” It promises to explore John’s prime, introducing familiar faces alongside brand-new characters created specifically for the game.
    • The Dream Team: Saber Interactive—the studio fresh off the massive success of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2—is leading development. Even better? Franchise visionary Chad Stahelski is collaborating closely on the project to nail the “gun-fu” choreography.

    Mastering the Art of Gun-Fu

    Saber Interactive isn’t just making a standard shooter. The studio has emphasised that the combat system is being built from the ground up to replicate the unique rhythm of the movies.

    “Our goal is to create a wholly immersive experience unlike any other… something that blurs the line between movies and video games.” — Jesus Iglesias, Game Director at Saber Interactive

    Key Gameplay Features:

    • Signature Gun-Fu: A seamless blend of close-quarters grappling and precision firearm play.
    • Cinematic Camerawork: Dynamic angles designed to mimic the long takes and “neon-noir” aesthetic of the films.
    • Intense Driving: High-octane vehicle sequences that go beyond simple travel, likely incorporating the car-combat seen in Chapter 4.
    • Mature Tone: True to its roots, the game is being developed for mature audiences, promising the grit and brutality the series is known for.

    Release Details & Platforms

    While we don’t have a confirmed release date yet, the project is officially in active development for the following platforms:

    • PlayStation 5
    • Xbox Series X|S
    • PC

    You can already head over to your digital storefront of choice to add the “Untitled John Wick Game” to your wishlist.

    The Verdict

    With the creative powerhouse of Saber Interactive at the helm and the direct involvement of Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves, this is shaping up to be the definitive John Wick experience. It’s not just a game; it’s an invitation to step into the well-tailored suit of the world’s most dangerous man.

    Be seeing you.

  • Now This is Podracing: Everything We Learned from the Star Wars: Galactic Racer Gameplay Trailer

    Now This is Podracing: Everything We Learned from the Star Wars: Galactic Racer Gameplay Trailer

    The wait is finally over. After months of speculation following its reveal at The Game Awards 2025, Fuse Games just dropped the official gameplay trailer for Star Wars: Galactic Racer™ during the February 2026 State of Play.

    If you were worried this would be a “clean” corporate racer, think again. This is gritty, underground, and looks like it was built by people who genuinely miss the “move or die” intensity of Burnout and Episode I: Racer.

    The Setting: Chaos in the New Republic

    Forget the Jedi and the Sith. The game is set in the lawless Outer Rim during the New Republic era (shortly after the fall of the Empire). With the galaxy rebuilding, a power vacuum has opened, filled by The Galactic League—an unsanctioned, high-stakes racing circuit backed by shadowy syndicates.

    Key Gameplay Features

    • A “Runs-Based” Experience: This isn’t just a series of laps. Tracks feature branching routes and dynamic environments that change mid-race. You’ll need to make split-second risk-reward decisions.
    • The Fleet: You aren’t limited to one vehicle type. The trailer showcased:
      • Podracers (including the return of fan-favourites like Sebulba and Ben Quadinaros!)
      • Speeder Bikes
      • Landspeeders and Skim Speeders
    • Tactical Combat: Drawing from the developers’ Burnout roots, the game encourages shunting, slamming, and “brutal takedowns.”

    The Story: Revenge at 600 MPH

    You play as Shade, a lone-wolf pilot with a grudge against the current League champion, Kestar Bool.

    The campaign is immersive and choice-driven. You’ll work with your mechanic, Hibi, to customise your ride with parts and upgrades earned through a branching path of events. It’s not just about being the fastest; it’s about building a machine that can survive a league where “no rules” is the only rule.

    “No rules, no safety committees, and definitely no official medals—only those willing to punch, dodge, and face the risks will cross the finish line.” — Official Announcement

    Multiplayer and Modes

    For those who want to test their mettle against the galaxy, the game confirmed:

    • 12-Player Online PvP: Hard-fought races where reputation is everything.
    • Arcade Mode: Focused on precision driving and climbing the global leaderboards.
    • Scenarios Mode: Unique challenges and hardcore conditions that push your piloting skills to the limit.

    Initial Thoughts: Is It the Successor We Wanted?

    The visuals in Unreal Engine 5 are stunning, taking us from the familiar sands of Jakku to lush jungles and industrial cityscapes. While some fans on Reddit are debating the “grittier” art style, the sense of speed in the trailer is undeniable. It feels like a love letter to the N64/GameCube era of Star Wars games—experimental, fun, and a little bit dangerous.

    Star Wars: Galactic Racer is slated for release later in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. You can officially wishlist it on Steam and the PlayStation Store now!

  • Scrub Away the Filth: Cash Cleaner Simulator Hits Consoles Today!

    Scrub Away the Filth: Cash Cleaner Simulator Hits Consoles Today!

    The wait is finally over for console players who have been itching to get their hands on some dirty laundry—and by laundry, we mean cold, hard, suspicious cash. Mind Control Games and Forklift Interactive have officially launched Cash Cleaner Simulator on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as of February 11, 2026.

    After a successful run on PC that saw over 300,000 copies sold, this satisfyingly gritty simulation game is bringing its unique brand of “professional cleaning” to your living room.

    What is Cash Cleaner Simulator?

    In this first-person simulation, you play as a specialist in the underworld’s most essential service: making “dirty” money look legitimate. Whether the cash arrives stuffed in old mattresses, soggy gym bags, or blood-stained boxes, it’s your job to restore it to its former glory.

    • The Workflow: You’ll use industrial washing machines, dryers, and specialised tools to scrub bills, count stacks, and weed out counterfeits.
    • The Lab: Your secret basement is your sanctuary. Use your earnings to buy furniture, upgrade your machinery, or even play a few rounds of Moneyball (basketball, but with wads of cash) during your downtime.
    • The Dark Web: Use your in-game smartphone to browse the darknet for new “clients” and higher-paying, more dangerous jobs.

    New DLC: LOUD & LOADED

    Launching alongside the console version is the brand-new LOUD & LOADED DLC, available now on all platforms (PS5, Xbox, and PC). If the base game is about the quiet grind, this expansion is about making a statement.

    FeatureDescriptionType

    Pricing and Availability

    For the true completionists, keep an eye out for the Luxury Loadout and Slay the Look cosmetic packs, which allow you to deck your lab out in gold or neon-chic aesthetics.

    Pro Tip: Don’t forget to use your UV Lamp at night. The lab holds secrets that only become visible when the lights go out… and you might find where some of that “missing” money actually went.

  • Step Into the Shadows! Ereban: Shadow Legacy PS5 Demo Out Now!

    Step Into the Shadows! Ereban: Shadow Legacy PS5 Demo Out Now!

    The long-awaited jump from PC to console has begun. Baby Robot Games and publisher SelectaPlay have officially unleashed a digital demo for Ereban: Shadow Legacy on the PlayStation 5, giving console players their first hands-on look at this stylish sci-fi stealth adventure.

    If you’ve been craving a pure stealth experience that channels the spirit of classics like Splinter Cell or Aragami, but with a high-tech, supernatural twist, it’s time to clear some space on your SSD.

    What is Ereban: Shadow Legacy?

    In Ereban, you step into the boots of Ayana, the last descendant of a forgotten race with the mystical ability to merge with the shadows. The world is a “morally grey” sci-fi universe dominated by Helios, a cryptic energy megacorporation that may hold the key to your past—and the destruction of your people.

    Key Features at a Glance:

    • Shadow Merge: This isn’t just “crouching in a corner.” You literally dive into the shadows, becoming a fluid orb that can climb vertical walls, pass through grates, and reach vantage points that would be impossible for a normal human.
    • Play Your Way: The game respects your agency. Want to be a “ghost” who never touches a soul? Go for it. Prefer to be a “deadly shadow” who eliminates every Helios bot in sight? The choice—and the resulting legacy—is yours.
    • High-Tech Gadgets: Beyond your powers, you’ll craft and upgrade gadgets like sonar visors and mines to outsmart the high-tech security of your enemies.

    What’s in the PS5 Demo?

    The demo drops you directly into the opening prologue. It’s the perfect vertical slice to get a feel for Ayana’s movement and the “Shadow Merge” mechanic. You’ll navigate ancient ruins and industrial complexes, testing your ability to stay out of the light while dodging the watchful eyes (and spotlights) of the Helios SYM robots.

    Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the environment. Ereban uses “negative space” brilliantly. A moving windmill or a passing crane isn’t just scenery—it’s a moving path of shadow you can ride to safety.

    Physical Editions and Full Release

    While the demo is live now, the full digital and physical launch is slated for later in 2026 for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

    For the collectors out there, SelectaPlay has confirmed a Physical Limited Collector’s Edition for PS5, which includes:

    • A physical copy of the game.
    • The original soundtrack.
    • A keychain of Ayana’s iconic mask.
    • Exclusive art postcards and an iron-on patch.

    Ready to vanish?

    The Ereban: Shadow Legacy demo is available for free right now on the PlayStation Store. Whether you’re a stealth veteran or a newcomer to the genre, its “Easy to learn, hard to master” philosophy makes it a must-try.
