    Guild Wars Afterlife Arrives — First New Premium DLC in Nearly 20 Years!

    For over two decades, Guild Wars® has stood as one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed MMORPGs ever made. More than nine million players have spent over one billion hours exploring Tyria and beyond — and now, the adventure continues at last. ArenaNet® and co-development partner studio 2weeks have officially unveiled Guild Wars Afterlife™ — the first brand-new premium DLC for the original game in nearly 20 years.

    Scheduled to launch 13 January 2027 across PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, Afterlife opens a bold new chapter in Guild Wars history.

    A New Land, A New Story

    Afterlife carries you through the Mists into Xotecha — an ancient, mysterious land steeped in forgotten history and restless spirits. There you’ll join the Order of the Moonless Night, a group dedicated to guiding lost souls safely onward. But something dark is stirring: the rising tide of Nightmares and the shadowy Cult of Odran threaten to consume everything. It’s up to you to stand against them.

    The Unformed — Where No Two Runs Are Alike

    At the heart of the DLC lies the Unformed, a roguelike-style ever-changing dungeon where every journey is unique:

    • Randomised layouts — maps, enemies, and bosses shift with every attempt
    • Skill-drafting system — choose new abilities after each victory, pulling skills from any profession in the game, not just your own. Mix and match elite skills in ways never before possible
    • Permanent progression — rewards earned carry over to future runs, and some unlocks can be used outside the dungeon across the wider world of Guild Wars
    • Play solo or co-op — bring friends or recruit loyal mercenaries to watch your back

    This isn’t just more content — it’s a fresh way to experience Guild Wars, blending classic character-building freedom with thrilling, unpredictable challenge.

    Important Details

    • Requires Guild Wars Reforged™ — the updated version including Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall campaigns
    • Pre-purchases are open now — buyers get the exclusive Vestments of the Order costume as a bonus
    • Cross-platform play — available on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android

    A Milestone for Online Gaming

    When Guild Wars launched back in 2005, it redefined what an MMORPG could be — no subscription, deep strategic combat, and a world that felt alive. Nearly 20 years later, it still commands a passionate global audience. Afterlife isn’t just another DLC; it’s a landmark — proof that some worlds never truly fade.

    Whether you’re a returning veteran or taking your first steps into Tyria, Guild Wars Afterlife invites you to write the next page of the legend.

    Pre-purchase Guild Wars Afterlife now and be ready when the gates open 13 January 2027!

  • Lay the Groundwork: RoadCraft’s Foundations Expansion Is Here — Build From the Bottom Up

    Lay the Groundwork: RoadCraft’s Foundations Expansion Is Here — Build From the Bottom Up

    Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive have officially launched Foundations Expansion, the third major DLC for hit heavy-machinery sim RoadCraft. This update doesn’t just add more roads — it completely rewrites how you build, letting you raise entire structures from bare earth to a finished project.

    Available now across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Foundations delivers fresh terrain, new machines, and a brand-new construction system that starts where every great build begins: the foundation.

    Two Brand-New Worlds to Rebuild

    The expansion brings two distinct 4 km² maps, each with its own style, challenges, and restoration goals:

    • Spring Renewal — Inspired by the Netherlands, this lush, flower-filled landscape dotted with windmills has been hit by severe storms. Your job: clear the damage, reinforce the land, and build vital infrastructure from the ground up.
    • Oasis Delta — Journey to sun-baked North African sands to restore an ancient archaeological site and a massive satellite dish. Expect sandy terrain, water crossings, and large-scale projects that demand solid foundations.

    7 Powerful Vehicles — 4 All-New, 3 Upgraded

    Foundations expands your garage with four brand-new machines plus three specialised variants of existing favourites:

    New VehiclePurpose
    ALCES PL30C Pile DriverDrives support piles deep into the ground — the essential first step for stable foundations
    Voltrack MK11 Concrete PumperDelivers and pours concrete precisely where it’s needed
    Voltrack MX Concrete MixerMixes and transports fresh concrete across your worksite
    EPEC MAG240 Magnetic CraneLifts heavy metal debris and materials with powerful magnetic grip

    Enhanced variants:

    • Aramatsu R1 Asphalt Roller — Smoother, more efficient road finishing
    • Derry Longhorn 4520 Heavy Haulier — Wider, more stable platform for transporting massive equipment
    • Isonzo M1 Service Vehicle — Nimble, tough, perfect for reaching remote spots

    Build Like Never Before: The New Foundation Systems

    This is the big one — Foundations introduces full foundation construction to RoadCraft for the first time:

    • Pile Driving — Before you pour anything, drive piles into the earth to create a stable base. Skip this step, and your build won’t hold.
    • Concrete Preparation & Pouring — Haul in piles, mix concrete, pump it into place, and let it set. Every step is hands-on and critical.
    • New Resources & Supply Chains — Manage the delivery of piles, aggregate, and wet concrete. Timing and logistics matter more than ever.
    • Co-op for Up to 4 Players — Rally your crew: one drives piles, another mixes concrete, a third pumps it, and someone hauls materials. Teamwork makes the build work.

    Other additions include a highly requested minimalistic UI for cleaner, more immersive views of your work, plus general quality-of-life improvements.

    Note: Foundations Expansion is sold separately and is not included in the Year 1 Pass.

    Ready to Build?

    Foundations Expansion is available right now on all platforms. Whether you’re restoring storm-hit green fields or raising structures in the desert, you’ll experience the satisfaction of building something truly solid — one pile, one pour, one foundation at a time.

    Grab the Foundations Expansion and start building today!

  • Fire Up the Reactor: Particle Collectotron Demo Lands on Steam — Full Game Coming March 2027

    Fire Up the Reactor: Particle Collectotron Demo Lands on Steam — Full Game Coming March 2027

    If you’ve ever wanted to run your own cutting-edge particle reactor without the lab safety paperwork, there’s good news: solo developer Miorama Games has just dropped a free playable demo of Particle Collectotron on Steam!

    This active incremental game puts you in control of a futuristic reactor chamber. Your mission? Inject particles, harvest their energy, and push the experiment to its limits — all before the containment barrier fails. The full version is scheduled to launch 30 March 2027.

    How It Plays

    Unlike passive idle games, Particle Collectotron keeps you engaged. You’ll:

    • Inject particles into the chamber and click to absorb their energy
    • Balance risk and reward: more particles = bigger energy gains, but faster barrier wear
    • Tune every run — particle types, speeds, angles, and spread — to match your strategy
    • Spend harvested energy between attempts on a sprawling, non-linear upgrade tree

    Every particle behaves differently: yellow arcs chain lightning, blue shatters into fragments, and rare exotic matter warps the field with gravitational pull. Survive a “superinjection” and your reactor grows — unlocking new injectors and deeper layers of strategy.

    What’s in the Demo

    The free Steam demo covers roughly 30–45 minutes of gameplay, letting you:

    • Try out the first wave of particle types
    • Unlock early upgrades and tuning options
    • Encounter your first exotic particles and see mid-game mechanics start to unfold
    • Play in 14 languages

    It’s a perfect way to test the reactor before committing to the full release.

    Wishlist & Support

    Miorama Games is a one-person studio, so wishlisting the game on Steam makes a real difference in getting the word out. You can also share feedback directly from the in-game menu — the developer reads every submission.

  • ROLL THE DICE ON THE BLACK SEA — BALKAN VICE: CALLATIS BRINGS CASINO AMBITION TO 2000s ROMANIA

    ROLL THE DICE ON THE BLACK SEA — BALKAN VICE: CALLATIS BRINGS CASINO AMBITION TO 2000s ROMANIA

    Romanian indie studio R2C Games unveils open-world RPG set in a fading resort town — Steam & EGS pages live now, demo coming 2027

    What happens when post-communist transition meets neon-lit ambition by the shore? R2C Games, a small independent studio from Romania, is about to show you. The team has officially announced Balkan Vice: Callatis — an open-world RPG where you build a casino empire in a once-glamorous Black Sea resort town sliding into decline in the early 2000s. The store pages are live right now, and a playable demo is scheduled for 2027.

    Step Into Callatis — Your Story Begins

    You play as Florin, a young man searching for his place in a world still finding its own. Callatis was once a jewel of the coast — now it’s a patchwork of crumbling concrete hotels, quiet shipyards, seaside bars, and fading dreams. Your goal? Turn a risky business idea into something real — but every win pulls you deeper into a web of connections, loyalties, and compromises.

    • Build and run your casino — place machines, tweak their payout rates, and keep the house advantage balanced just right
    • Explore the open world — drive across a city that feels lived-in: tower blocks, beachfront promenades, industrial zones, and hidden corners
    • Make friends, strike deals, navigate tensions — your choices shape who trusts you and who wants a cut
    • Success has a cost — the bigger your operation grows, the harder it becomes to walk away

    A Rare Glimpse of 2000s Balkan Life

    Balkan Vice: Callatis isn’t just about cards and chips. It’s a love letter to a specific time and place:

    • Early 2000s atmosphere — the music, the cars, the fashion, the energy of a society in transition
    • Authentic setting — inspired by real Black Sea coastal towns, blending holiday charm with industrial grit
    • Rich cast of characters — locals, business owners, visitors, and figures who may be more connected than they seem
    • Story-driven design — management meets narrative; every expansion ties back to Florin’s journey

    What’s Next?

    • Steam & Epic Games Store pages are live — wishlist now to follow development
    • Playable demo planned for 2027 — get hands-on with the early chapters
    • Announcement trailer released — watch the first look at the world of Callatis: https://youtu.be/YqlQswu8Rok

    Made in Romania, For Everyone

    R2C Games is a small team with a distinct vision: to tell stories that feel real, set in places rarely seen in games. Balkan Vice: Callatis promises to bring that perspective to life — a story of ambition, belonging, and knowing when to walk away from the table.

    The cards are dealt. The coast is waiting. Will you build something to last, or just another bright light that burns out?

  • THE FUTURE OF MATH IS MULTIPLAYER — COLLABULATOR LAUNCHES NOVEMBER 17 ON STEAM!

    THE FUTURE OF MATH IS MULTIPLAYER — COLLABULATOR LAUNCHES NOVEMBER 17 ON STEAM!

    First-time dev Mangerive unveils next-gen collaborative workspace where up to 100 people calculate together in real time

    Imagine a calculator that doesn’t just sit on your desk — it lives online, and you can invite your entire team, your class, or even a hundred strangers to punch numbers, share formulas, and solve problems side-by-side. That’s exactly what first-time developer and publisher Mangerive has built. The studio is thrilled to announce that Collabulator — the world’s first truly collaborative mathematical workspace — releases on Steam November 17, 2026.

    What Is Collabulator?

    It’s described as a “next-generation collaborative workspace for mathematical calculation,” but that barely scratches the surface:

    • 1 to 100 simultaneous users — work on the same calculation space at once
    • Real-time device sync — every keystroke, formula, and result appears instantly across every connected screen
    • Workflow optimisation — built to cut out repetitive input and amplify group efficiency
    • Full-featured calculation engine — basic arithmetic, advanced functions, persistent variables, and shared formula libraries
    • Save, share, and resume — store workspaces, send links, and pick up exactly where you left off

    Who Is It For?

    The beauty of Collabulator is that it scales to whatever you need:

    • Students & educators — solve problems together in real time; see exactly how someone arrived at an answer
    • Teams & professionals — budgets, forecasts, and shared metrics without sending spreadsheets back and forth
    • Curious minds — experiment with numbers alongside friends, no sign-up or complex setup required
    • Anyone who’s ever thought “calculators shouldn’t be lonely” — math is better together

    A Debut Born of Pure Passion

    Mangerive isn’t a big studio — it’s a brand-new name stepping into the spotlight for the very first time. And they’re genuinely, openly excited: “euphoric” is how they describe bringing their creation to the world. There’s a refreshing honesty here — a first project built with heart, launched with enthusiasm, and asking simply: does this make working together easier?

    Ready to Calculate Together?

    Wishlist Collabulator now on Steam so you don’t miss the November 17 launch. Whether you’re crunching figures, learning algebra, or just proving that two heads are better than one — and 100 are definitely louder — the future of group math is arriving soon.

    “We’re getting a multiplayer calculator before GTA VI!” — the team jokes in their announcement. And honestly? We’d take it.

    Wishlist Collabulator on Steam

    GATES OPEN NOVEMBER 6 — SOULFRAME OPENS PRELUDES TO ALL PC PLAYERS!

    Digital Extremes drops invite requirement — plus Verse of the Veilands brings wolf mounts, world-shaping progression, and fishing

    The wait is nearly over. Digital Extremes — creators of Warframe — have announced that Soulframe Open Preludes launches worldwide for PC players on Friday, November 6, 2026, removing the invitation-only barrier that has guarded the fantasy action RPG’s early alpha until now. The news dropped during Devstream 18, where the studio also unveiled full details of Preludes 17: Verse of the Veilands — a major November update featuring rideable Omen Wolves, a dynamic environmental progression system, and relaxing new fishing mechanics.

    Open for Everyone — No Key Required

    Since launching in pre-alpha, Soulframe Preludes has grown through a steadily expanding circle of invited Envoys. That era ends next week:

    • November 6 — download directly from soulframe.com, no sign-up queue or invite code needed
    • PC worldwide — all Windows players welcome
    • Founders Packs available — support development and unlock exclusive ancestral cosmetics to distinguish your Envoy
    • Community shaping every step — Creative Director Geoff Crookes: “Soulframe has been a community-driven game from day one… now we’re ready to grow that community even further.”

    Verse of the Veilands — What’s Coming in November

    Shortly after Open Preludes goes live, Preludes 17: Verse of the Veilands arrives as the game’s biggest content leap yet, restructuring how you explore and experience Midrath:

    Omen Wolf Mounts — Raise Your Companion

    The single most requested feature in Soulframe’s short history is here — and it’s not just a summon button:

    • Start with a vulnerable wolf pup that bonds with you
    • Care for, train, and grow alongside it as you explore
    • Once mature, your Omen Wolf becomes your loyal rideable mount across the wilds
    • No generic horse — this is a companion earned through time and care

    The Veilands — World Progression You Shape

    The Ode corruption isn’t static — it spreads, and you fight it back:

    • Purify regions to reclaim the land from Ode influence
    • Areas transform visually and functionally as you succeed
    • New paths, events, and rewards unlock as the corruption recedes
    • Your choices permanently alter how Midrath looks and plays

    Fishing — Cast Out and Unwind

    Not every moment needs to be battle. A serene new pastime arrives:

    • Find waters across the isle of Midrath
    • Catch unique fish — some common, some rare, some only appearing in certain conditions
    • Use your catch for crafting, cooking, or trading
    • A quiet counterpoint to combat and exploration

    Plus — New Enemies, Smoother Starts, and More

    • Ode Shrike — a new hunter-type enemy deploying spike traps, bolas, and ambush tactics
    • Votive Missions — clearer objectives to guide new Envoys through the world
    • Bita’s Eve seasonal event — limited-time festivities, rewards, and encounters
    • Refined onboarding flow to welcome the flood of new players

    What Is Soulframe?

    From the team that defined live-service action with Warframe, Soulframe is a cooperative fantasy RPG set on the isle of Midrath in the world of Alca. You play as an Envoy — a former agent of the invading Ode who has turned to heal the land. Explore ancient forests, purify corrupted regions, and forge bonds with wild creatures in a world where nature, melody, and memory are your greatest weapons.

    Ready to Answer the Call?

    The gates open Friday, November 6. Whether you’ve been waiting since the first whisper or you’re just hearing the name for the first time — your path to Midrath begins now.

  • MECHS, MINES & MARAUDING SWARMS — STEEL CORE WALKTHROUGH DROPS AHEAD OF CLOSED PLAYTEST

    MECHS, MINES & MARAUDING SWARMS — STEEL CORE WALKTHROUGH DROPS AHEAD OF CLOSED PLAYTEST

    Starni Games and publisher Palaye have unveiled a detailed developer walkthrough for STEEL CORE — their upcoming turn-based mech strategy — giving players the clearest look yet at build phases, tactical combat, and roguelite progression ahead of the game’s first closed playtest.

    The 12-minute commentary video is live now on YouTube, and the Steam store page is open for wishlisting and playtest registration.

    What Is STEEL CORE? — Three Acts of War

    You’re a contractor for Galactic Mining Industries, dispatched to lawless worlds to defend Xenoridium mining operations. Every contract follows the same relentless rhythm:

    • Build by Day — Assemble and customise your mech squad, reinforce walls, activate turrets, research upgrades, and keep the drills running. Every resource is scarce — every choice matters
    • Deploy at Dusk — Position your mechs, place your defences, and plan your formation based on incoming intelligence
    • Fight Through the Night — Turn-based tactical grid combat against overwhelming alien swarms. Hold the line until dawn or lose the contract — and the payday

    The enemy? A relentless, evolving xenofauna that outnumbers you at every turn. The reward? Survival, payment, and deadlier tech for the next planet.

    Mech Construction — Build It Your Way

    No two mechs need fight alike. Every unit is assembled piece by piece:

    • Chassis, arms, legs, shoulder mounts — each with distinct stats and roles
    • Up to 4 weapons per mech — Gauss cannons, sniper rifles, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and more
    • Jetpacks, shields, micro-modules — tailor loadouts for flanking, defence, or raw destruction
    • Visually unique — the parts you equip are exactly what appears on the battlefield

    Campaign — An Escalating Galactic Tour

    The roguelite campaign moves across distinct biomes — jungles, ice basins, lava lakes, acid pools — each introducing new threats, environmental hazards, and apex predators. Research progress carries forward, but every fresh contract gets harder, deadlier, and more unpredictable.

    • Fibonite harvested from defeated foes powers permanent upgrades
    • Resources are tight — fund another turret or upgrade your best mech?
    • Lose your base and the contract fails — permadeath stakes apply to every run

    EXPLORE, COLONISE, GOVERN — EXOPLANET SETTLERS CHARTS COURSE FOR APRIL 2027

    Solo indie developer Stumpseed has officially unveiled Exoplanet Settlers — a thoughtful turn-based 4X space strategy game where logistics, movement, and management take centre stage. The Steam store page and announcement trailer are live now, with launch planned for April 2027 across PC, iOS, and Android.

    A Different Kind of 4X — Logistics First

    Many strategy games treat resources and movement as abstract numbers. Exoplanet Settlers grounds them in tangible physical systems:

    • Empire logistics you can see — Resources don’t just appear; they must be mined, shipped across the void, and delivered where they’re needed. Shortages mean delayed construction, slower expansion, and vulnerable frontiers
    • Unrestricted tactical movement — No grid-locked paths. Navigate star systems freely, position fleets where they count most, and adapt your strategy as the galaxy shifts
    • Macro-level colony management — Govern worlds from initial outpost to thriving hub. Balance growth with sustainability, specialise planetary economies, and build an interstellar network that works as a living system
    • Three planet types — Habitable, terraformable, and hostile worlds demand distinct approaches, infrastructure, and investment

    Your first foothold is Kepler-452 — humanity’s inaugural off-world colony — rich in aluminium and titanium, but far from self-sufficient. Every probe launched, every shipment dispatched, and every new world settled expands your reach — and your responsibilities.

    From a Single Developer to the Stars

    Exoplanet Settlers is the work of one creator — Stumpseed — aiming to prove that deep, thoughtful 4X design doesn’t need a massive studio behind it. The vision: a game that respects your time, rewards planning over reflexes, and feels equally at home on a desktop monitor or a mobile screen.

    “I wanted a strategy game where moving resources matters. Where you feel the distance between worlds and the work it takes to bridge it. This is about building something real, step by step.”
