  • Possess, Protect, Delay — Souls of Bombarika Unleashes Steam Next Fest Demo, Release Pushed to Early 2027

    Possess, Protect, Delay — Souls of Bombarika Unleashes Steam Next Fest Demo, Release Pushed to Early 2027

    From the ethereal mists between worlds comes word of a haunting new puzzle adventure — and a promise to take just a little longer to get it right. Publisher 1312 Interactive and developer Street Lamp Games have revealed that Souls of Bombarika is haunting Steam Next Fest with a brand-new playable demo — but the full release, originally slated for late October 2026, has been gently pushed back to early 2027. The extra time will let the team polish every spectral interaction and weave in even more story content before conjuring the game into its final form.

    What Is Souls of Bombarika? — Every Object Has a Soul

    The spiritual successor to the award-winning Bombarika, this supernatural puzzle game casts you as a lost spirit thrust into a shadowy conflict. You don’t control people — you possess things. Sofas, toasters, books, brooms — every ordinary household item becomes your hands, your voice, and your only weapon as you rearrange the world to guide the living to safety before disaster strikes.

    At its core:

    • Systems-driven puzzles — every level is a living machine of cause and effect; move an object, trigger a chain reaction, alter the outcome
    • Story-rich supernatural narrative — you’re not just solving puzzles; you’re rebelling against dark forces, uncovering secrets, and forging connections from beyond the veil
    • Save lives under pressure — time is never on your side; plan fast, adapt faster, and remember: one small shift can change everything
    • Possess the mundane — turn furniture, gadgets, and trinkets into tools, distractions, and shields
    • Cross-platform arrival — launching on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2

    The Demo — Step Into the Spirit World Today

    The free playable demo is live right now throughout Steam Next Fest (19–26 October 2026), offering players their first hands-on taste of possession, puzzles, and the game’s atmospheric hand-painted world. It’s a chance to shape the final experience — feedback from demo players will directly inform tweaks and refinements over the coming months.

    The Delay — A Promise Made Manifest

    Originally scheduled for 29 October 2026, the launch window has shifted to early 2027 across all platforms. Deepak Gurijala, founder of Street Lamp Games, emphasised that the decision is entirely about respect — for the game, for the players, and for the vision they’ve nurtured since the original Bombarika took the indie scene by storm. The extra months will be used to:

    • Polish and balance every puzzle interaction
    • Expand the narrative with additional scenes and character beats
    • Refine visual and audio polish across all levels
    • Ensure consistency across every platform

    “It’s ready enough to show you,” the team shared. “But it deserves to be perfect before we invite you to stay.”

    From Award-Winning Roots

    Street Lamp Games emerged from Hyderabad, India, to win Best Mobile Game at Indie Prize Casual Connect Europe 2019 with the original Bombarika, along with Indie Game of the Year at IGDC 2018 — a run of recognition that put Indian indie development firmly on the map in document 3. Souls of Bombarika represents the studio’s most ambitious leap yet: scaling up, going cross-platform, and deepening every part of what made their breakthrough hit special.

    Wishlist & Try the Demo

    The Steam page is live — grab the demo before Next Fest closes on 26 October, and add Souls of Bombarika to your wishlist to catch every spectral update as it unfolds. The wait is a touch longer — but a haunting worth remembering is worth getting right.

    Pinball Prince — Croak Leaps to Xbox & PC March 2027, Day One on Game Pass

    Get ready to stick the landing. WoodRunner Games unveiled Croak during the ID@Xbox Showcase, confirming this gorgeously hand-drawn 2D precision platformer will hop onto Xbox Series X|S and PC in March 2027 — and it arrives day one with Xbox Game Pass, including Xbox Play Anywhere support across console and PC.

    A Prince, Turned Amphibian — With a Very Useful Tongue

    Once a prince, now a round and lovably chubby frog, our hero has one extraordinary tool: his stretchy, springy tongue. This isn’t just for catching flies — it’s your grappling hook, your bungee cord, and your flipper all in one. Launch yourself, latch onto surfaces, bounce off walls, and ricochet through hundreds of hand-crafted rooms like a living pinball. Master the SuperBonk ability and you’ll chain tongue-grabs into high-speed, hair-raising flows where momentum is everything.

    Hand-Drawn Magic From Industry Talents

    Every frame of Croak is a labour of love, brought to life by animators whose previous credits include Cuphead and Rick & Morty. The result is a vibrant, storybook world brimming with personality — fluid, expressive, and packed with charm that feels alive in every hop and bounce.

    Biomes, Bosses, and BMX Beavers

    Your journey takes you across distinct, whimsical realms — each with its own visual style, traversal quirks, and standout encounters:

    • Meet unusual bosses — including a beaver showing off BMX tricks
    • Collect coins, uncover secrets, and hunt for hidden paths tucked away in every corner
    • Ultra-hard challenge stages await those who conquer the main route — perfect for speedrunners and perfectionists
    • Global speedrunning leaderboards — race your friends and the world to claim the fastest frog crown

    Game Pass Day One — Platforms & Perks

    Croak launches March 2027 across:

    • Xbox Series X|S — included in Game Pass
    • PC via Steam & Microsoft Store — also Game Pass on day one
    • Xbox Play Anywhere — buy once, play on console and PC at no extra cost

    Wishlist it now on Steam to be notified the moment it leaps into view.

    A Fractured Fairy Tale With Heart

    Croak isn’t just about reflexes — it’s a warm, whimsical adventure through a kingdom cursed and rewritten. The cast is quirky, the story is full of surprises, and beneath every bouncy, breathless moment lies a tale about finding your way home.

    Stick, bounce, and leap — the Frog Prince is coming.

  • Bound for Tau — Warframe Launches Historic Taubound Community Event!

    Bound for Tau — Warframe Launches Historic Taubound Community Event!

    The journey beyond the Origin System begins now.

    Digital Extremes has officially kicked off Epoch Operation: Taubound — a landmark, one-of-a-kind community event uniting Warframe players across all platforms to pave the way toward Warframe: Tau, the expansive new star system arriving later this year. Whether you’re a veteran Tenno or just stepping into your first Warframe, you’re invited to be part of history.

    One Community. One Mission.

    Taubound is more than an event — it’s a collective effort. The Sentient mothership Praghasa needs fuel to chart a course to the Tau System, and that fuel comes from you. Here’s how it works:

    • Collect Moonflesh — head to Eris and complete missions to gather this rare new resource
    • Contribute together — every Moonflesh collected worldwide fuels the journey; there’s no too small contribution
    • Time is limited — the operation runs now until Tuesday, 17 November 2026 — and it will never return
    • Open to nearly everyone — if you’ve completed Vor’s Prize, you can join in. New players welcome

    Rewards Fit for a Starfarer

    Trade your Moonflesh with Praghasa and unlock exclusive, one-time rewards that won’t be available again:

    • Contegorus Armor Set — imposing, otherworldly protection
    • Dhampyre Syandana — a striking cape customisation
    • Vacis Amp Skin — stand out in every battle
    • Legendary Core & Honoria — powerful upgrades to boost your Arsenal
    • Vessel Glyphs & Decorations — show off your part in history

    A Story Unfolds — Prologue to Tau

    Alongside the community drive, a brand-new narrative awaits. Complete The Old Peace and The Hex to unlock the Prologue to Tau — a permanent quest that dives into the Lotus’ memories and reveals what lies ahead in the uncharted reaches. Step into the rain-slicked decay of Fornax, tangle with the fearsome Drowners, and face the ruthless kingpin Hunra — all before the full Tau System launches.

    What Is Tau?

    A new binary star system ages in the making — corrupted, dangerous, and full of secrets. Fornax, a once-glorious orbital ring city, now drowns in madness-inducing black rain. It’s here you’ll meet Brysko, a noir-inspired Warframe with a deadly Corecracker pistol and Rain & Shine gauntlets, plus Portau — Warframe’s very first in-game card game.

    Ready to Answer the Call?

    Log in to Warframe now — on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and mobile — to begin your contribution. Visit the Taubound page for full details, and stay tuned for the full Tau System launch coming later in 2026.

    The path to Tau isn’t carved by one — it’s paved by all. Will you stand with the Tenno?

    Brought to life by the team at The End of the Sun Forge and published by IMGN.PRO, this release marks the game’s debut on Xbox Series X|S, optimised to shine on the platform with rich detail, atmospheric lighting, and immersive audio that draws you deeper into the mystery with every moment.

  • Terranigma Returns: Classic SNES Action RPG Comes Home January 14, 2027 Across All Major Platforms

    Terranigma Returns: Classic SNES Action RPG Comes Home January 14, 2027 Across All Major Platforms

    Clear River Games, the publisher dedicated to preserving and reintroducing beloved classic and retro titles, has officially confirmed that the legendary action RPG Terranigma will be re-released digitally and physically on January 14, 2027. The 1995 Quintet masterpiece arrives on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam & GOG), bringing one of the SNES era’s most cherished — and long hard-to-find — adventures to modern players for the first time.

    A Legend Reborn

    Originally launched in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Terranigma earned enduring acclaim for its sweeping story of rebirth, creation, and humanity; its vibrant pixel art; and its emotionally resonant soundtrack. Following protagonist Ark on a journey to resurrect the world — from the awakening of life to the rise of civilisation — the game has long stood as a high-water mark in Japanese RPG design, yet for decades remained trapped on its original platform with no official modern re-release.

    That wait is now over. Clear River Games has partnered to faithfully restore the title while updating it for today’s hardware, with oversight and new artwork from original character artist Kamui Fujiwara, ensuring the spirit of the original is honoured throughout.

    What’s New — And What Stays Classic

    This is no full remake: the beloved gameplay, visuals, and narrative remain intact, thoughtfully enhanced with quality-of-life improvements and presentation options:

    • Quality-of-life upgrades: Quick magic button, item hot-swap, fully remappable controls, and a rewind function
    • Enhanced display: Customisable high-resolution backgrounds, CRT filter, and multiple aspect ratios
    • Arranged Mode: An optional rebalanced experience with boosted magic damage, permanent mini-map, and free-save anywhere
    • Bonus content: In-game music player and museum mode featuring concept and production art

    Collectors Rejoice — Three Physical Editions

    For fans who want something tangible, three distinct physical releases are being produced for consoles:

    Table

    EditionHighlights
    Standard EditionFull game, premium packaging
    SteelBook® EditionCollectable SteelBook case, exclusive cover art
    Gaia EditionPremium magnetic box with art by Kamui Fujiwara; SteelBook game; 200-page art book; enamel pin of pixel Ark; original soundtrack CD; 100% cotton cloth map

    A limited-run Foiled Standard Edition will also be available exclusively through Clear River Games and Limited Run Games storefronts.

    Mark Your Calendars

    Terranigma launches digitally and physically on January 14, 2027. Wishlists are now live on Steam and GOG for PC, and digital storefronts for consoles will follow shortly. Whether you’re returning to Crysta to walk Ark’s path once more or stepping into this timeless tale for the very first time, the world is ready to be reborn — and you’re invited.
