    The Clock is Ticking: Hell Clock Strikes PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Drops ‘Cursed War’ This July!

    Action RPG fans, synchronise your watches. The diabolical, fast-paced roguelike ARPG Hell Clock finally has an official console release date. Developers Rogue Snail and publisher Mad Mushroom have announced that the highly acclaimed “Exile-like” will officially launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on July 14, 2026.

    But that’s not all. In a massive double-drop, the game’s highly anticipated first major expansion, Cursed War, is launching on the exact same day across consoles and Steam.

    If you’ve been waiting to take this dark, historical hack-and-slash on the go or to your living room setup, your time has officially come.

    What is Hell Clock?

    For the uninitiated, Hell Clock took the PC gaming world by storm with its unique premise and breakneck speed. Billed as a love letter to Path of Exile and Diablo, but packed into digestible, high-octane roguelike runs, the game is a dark fantasy reimagining of 19th-century Brazilian history—specifically the War of Canudos.

    You play as Pajeú, a warrior trapped in a cursed purgatory, battling hordes of undead oppressors and demons. The catch? The literal “Hell Clock” is always ticking. You have to balance the risk of diving deeper for legendary loot against a strict time limit, crafting unstoppable builds from ancient relics and blessings before your time runs out.

    With an “Overwhelmingly Positive” community reception on Steam, it’s safe to say console players are in for an absolute treat.

    Welcome to the ‘Cursed War’ Expansion

    The console launch isn’t just a simple port; it’s arriving alongside Cursed War, a major expansion that expands the lore and takes players into the grim horrors of the war in Paraguay.

    The expansion is set to dramatically shake up the meta by introducing six brand-new skills to help you tear through the forces of Hell. Here is a sneak peek at what you’ll be adding to your arsenal:

    • Tupã’s Wrath: The ultimate ARPG “Spark” style skill. Zero aiming required—just flood the entire screen with chaotic, bouncing projectiles.
    • Jaguar Spear: A long-reach melee skill that pierces straight through enemy lines, perfect for crowd control.
    • Lead Sermon: Fires electrified projectiles that bounce between targets. Better yet, reloading brings a whole new “sermon” of destruction to your foes.
    • Holy Fire: A classic fireball archetype. Scale up your projectiles to ignite the screen and watch the demons burn.
    • Cilada: A tactical trap skill that immobilises enemies, inflicts severe debuffs, and sets them up for massive bleed damage.
    • Carcará Dive: Leap high into the air and slam down, dealing massive fire impact damage. It’s fantastic for both high mobility and heavy burst damage.

    Mark Your Calendars

    Whether you’re a hardcore Path of Exile veteran looking for a fresh, snappy alternative or a roguelike fanatic who loves the adrenaline of Hades, Hell Clock is tailoring itself to be a must-play this summer.

    Get ready to race against time. Hell Clock and the Cursed War expansion drop on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam on July 14, 2026.

  • Lost in Magic: Atmospheric Maze Adventure ‘Go North’ Locks In Summer Release Date

    Lost in Magic: Atmospheric Maze Adventure ‘Go North’ Locks In Summer Release Date

    The recent Black Voices in Gaming Showcase just dropped a major highlight for indie game lovers. Go North, the highly anticipated, atmospheric maze adventure, officially has a release date.

    Crafted by the talented one-man studio gazuntype (developer Tade Ajiboye), this striking title invites players to brave a gorgeous, tranquil wilderness where ancient magic and technology are intricately woven together.

    What is Go North?

    In Go North, you guide an adventurer named Dara through a series of beautifully unique, immersive labyrinths. The goal is simple yet profound: find the exit due north to meet the elusive Maze God, who grants a single wish to anyone clever enough to find him.

    Unlike traditional puzzle games that stress you out with timers and penalties, Go North prioritises peace over progress. It’s designed to be a “cosy calamity”—a tranquil representation of being lost, encouraging players to mindfully meander, unwind, and enjoy a slower pace of life.

    Key Features to Look Forward To:

    • A World of Magic & Tech: Utilise unique relics to navigate, from the moth-shaped Lunaboard hoverboard to a levitating bubble that grants a bird’s-eye view of the maze.
    • Intricate Level Design: Explore stunning third-person environments ranging from twisted forest thickets and sky islands to grand bookshelf corridors.
    • Quaint Customisation: Discover secret Golden Compasses hidden in each maze to unlock cute cosmetics like hats, scarves, and goggles for Dara.
    • Multiplayer Modes: When you want to pick up the pace, you can compete against friends in cross-platform online multiplayer races or dive into an endless loop of mazes via Arcade Mode.

    Demo Arriving for Steam Next Fest!

    Can’t wait until mid-summer to start exploring? You won’t have to wait long. A brand-new demo is arriving ahead of Steam Next Fest.

    The upcoming demo will debut four brand-new levels, introduce never-before-seen puzzles, and showcase a newly added Camera mechanic. Players will also get a first glimpse at the game’s stunning new opening cinematic to set the mood.

    Release Date and Platforms

    Mark your calendars! Go North officially launches on Tuesday, July 28, 2026.

    • Launch Platforms: PC (via Steam) and Xbox Series X|S.
    • In Development: A Nintendo Switch version is also actively in the works for a later release.

    If you’re looking for a breathtaking indie title that trades high-stakes stress for beautiful, atmospheric exploration, make sure to head over to Steam and add Go North to your wishlist today!
