  • Into the Night: Moonlight Peaks Confirmed for Nintendo Switch and Beyond

    Into the Night: Moonlight Peaks Confirmed for Nintendo Switch and Beyond

    The supernatural life-sim genre is about to get a lot more “un-lively.” Today, XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe officially announced that Moonlight Peaks, the highly anticipated gothic farming sim from Little Chicken Game Company, is expanding its horizons.

    While previously confirmed for PC, the developers have revealed that the game will also haunt the Nintendo Switch™, the next-generation Nintendo Switch™ 2, and Google Play Games.

    Mark your calendars (or set your sundials): Moonlight Peaks is scheduled for a simultaneous digital launch across all platforms on July 7, 2026.

    Step Out of Dracula’s Shadow

    In Moonlight Peaks, you don’t just play any vampire—you play the progeny of Count Dracula himself. But instead of pursuing a legacy of darkness and terror, you’ve decided to move to the titular town of Moonlight Peaks to prove that the undead can lead a wholesome, compassionate life.

    The game blends the cosy mechanics of Stardew Valley with a dark, mystical aesthetic. You’ll spend your nights (because, you know, the sun is a problem) cultivating a magical garden, brewing potions, and mastering ancient spells to help your farm flourish.

    Key Features to Sink Your Fangs Into:

    Supernatural Socialising: Meet a diverse cast of local residents, including werewolves, witches, and mermaids. You can even find eternal love through a robust dating system.

    Cursed Crops: Forget corn and potatoes. In Moonlight Peaks, you’ll grow glowing flowers and “cursed” crops that serve as your primary source of sustenance.

    Gothic Customization: Decorate your haunted homestead with eerie furniture and, of course, the perfect coffin.

    Vampiric Abilities: Unlock powers like shapeshifting and enhanced senses to explore hidden areas of the town and its surrounding forests.

    Next-Gen Gothic Gaming

    The confirmation for Nintendo Switch™ 2 is particularly exciting for fans of the genre. While details on the new hardware remain a hot topic of conversation, the inclusion of Moonlight Peaks in its software lineup suggests we can expect a visually stunning experience that maintains the “cosy-creepy” art style the game is known for.

    For those who prefer gaming on the go without a console, the Google Play Games version ensures that mobile and tablet users won’t be left in the dark.

    “Moonlight Peaks is a supernatural fit for our portfolio,” said Kenji Hosoi, Executive Vice President of XSEED Games. “We look forward to working with Little Chicken to bring this unique vision of the undead life to fans worldwide.”

    Ready to Move In?

    If you can’t wait until July, a PC demo focusing on the game’s decorating mechanics and basic spellcasting is currently available on Steam. It’s the perfect way to get a head start on designing your dream vampire haven.

  • Warped Universe: The Genre-Bending Co-op Sci-Fi Epic Hits Steam Early Access Soon

    Warped Universe: The Genre-Bending Co-op Sci-Fi Epic Hits Steam Early Access Soon

    The sci-fi gaming landscape is about to get a serious shake-up. If you’ve ever found yourself torn between the adrenaline of a third-person shooter and the cerebral satisfaction of a tactical strategy game, Warped Universe is coming to solve your identity crisis.

    Developed by Warped Games—a seasoned indie team with a pedigree including LEGO Universe and Jumpgate—this ambitious PvE title is officially gearing up for its Steam Early Access launch.

    Play at Your Own Pace: Action Meets Tactics

    The standout feature of Warped Universe is its “dual-engine” approach to combat. Before heading into a mission, players aren’t just choosing their gear; they’re choosing their genre.

    Real-Time Action: For those who want high-octane, third-person combat. Dodge, aim, and blast through enemies with twitch reflexes.

    Turn-Based Strategy: For the thinkers. Shift to a top-down tactical view where every move is calculated, and victory is earned through positioning and planning.

    What’s truly impressive is that these aren’t separate modes. Both styles utilise the same underlying mechanics and “dice-roll” logic, ensuring that whether you’re clicking heads or managing action points, the experience feels cohesive.

    From Earthly Soil to Deep Space

    Warped Universe doesn’t stop at hybrid combat styles; it also bridges the gap between ground and space. Missions will take you from the surface of alien planets to the cockpit of a starship.

    A Universe Shaped by the Community

    Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game looks stunning, but the beauty isn’t just skin-deep. The developers are implementing Seasonal Solar Systems, where player actions actually matter. As a community, you’ll collect “Residuum” to construct new planets and establish facilities, defending your progress against the encroaching Void.

    “Our goal is to have many players come together to complete the solar system however they prefer,” says the dev team. “You can play the whole game and progress just by sticking to one mode if you like.”

    Why You Should Care

    With a team of only 12 developers, Warped Universe is a true passion project. It’s rare to see an indie title attempt such a massive scope—combining action, strategy, ground, and space combat into a single persistent world.

    Warped Universe is currently available to wishlist on Steam. If you’re a fan of deep sci-fi lore, cooperative PvE, or just want a game that respects your preferred playstyle, this is one to keep on your radar for 2026.

    Stay tuned to BizNooz for more updates on the official Early Access launch date.

  • Evercade Goes “Nu-Retro” Again: Mega Cat Studios Collection 3 Announced

    Evercade Goes “Nu-Retro” Again: Mega Cat Studios Collection 3 Announced

    Get your claws ready. Blaze Entertainment has officially announced the third entry in one of its most popular indie-focused series: Mega Cat Studios Collection 3.

    While Evercade often makes headlines for bringing arcade giants like Taito and Namco back to life, the platform’s “Indie” (red) line remains the heartbeat of the scene. This latest cartridge continues the tradition of showcasing “nu-retro” developers—modern creators who build brand-new games specifically for classic hardware like the NES and Sega Genesis.

    What’s in the Box?

    Mega Cat Studios Collection 3 features 10 diverse titles that span genres from top-down adventures to gravity-defying platformers. As always, the collection comes on a physical cartridge in a classic clamshell case, complete with a full-colour manual.

    Why It Matters

    Mega Cat Studios has been a staple of the Evercade ecosystem since launch. However, with Mega Cat Studios Collection 2 entering “Legacy” status (meaning production is ceasing), this third volume arrives just in time to keep the indie spirit alive on your shelf.

    It also highlights Evercade’s expanding 2026 roadmap. This cartridge was announced alongside Activision Collection 2 and a stunning new Rare-themed Super Pocket handheld, signalling that 2026 is shaping up to be the platform’s biggest year yet.

    Pro Tip: This cartridge is numbered #53 in the home console line and is compatible with every device in the family, including the Evercade EXP-R, VS-R, and HyperMegaTech! Super Pocket.

    Release Date & Pricing

    Release Window: April 2026

    Pre-orders: Open now at major retailers (Funstock, Amazon, etc.)

    Price: £19.99 / $29.99 / €24.99

    Whether you’re a fan of the “ghost minotaur” vibes or looking for a deep action-adventure like Kudzu, this collection looks like a must-have for those who love the physical side of retro gaming.

  • Into the North: WILL: Follow the Light Demos Its Way Across Steam Next Fest

    Into the North: WILL: Follow the Light Demos Its Way Across Steam Next Fest

    If you’ve been craving a narrative experience that feels like a cold, crisp morning in the Nordic wilderness, your wait is officially over—or at least, a significant piece of it is. TomorrowHead Studio has officially announced that their atmospheric adventure, WILL: Follow the Light, is making its way to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

    The best part? You don’t have to wait for the full release to get your hands on the wheel. As part of Steam Next Fest (running now through March 2, 2026), a playable demo is live on Steam, giving players a first look at what it’s like to navigate the unforgiving northern seas.

    A Tale of Fathers, Sons, and the Open Sea

    WILL: Follow the Light isn’t your typical “walking sim.” It’s a first-person journey that places you in the boots of Will, a lighthouse keeper whose solitary life is upended by a mysterious radio message. A disaster has struck his hometown, and his son is missing.

    What follows is a cinematic trek through the harsh northern latitudes. To find his family, Will must master several distinct modes of traversal:

    Realistic Sailing: This isn’t just “press W to move.” You’ll navigate the yacht Molly using authentic navigation tools and weather stations.

    Dog Sledging: Cross snow-covered mountain ranges by leading a team of sledge dogs.

    On-Foot Exploration: Explore abandoned islands and ruined settlements where the environmental storytelling takes centre stage.

    Unreal Engine 5 Meets Indie Ambition

    Visually, the game is a standout. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the Spokane-based TomorrowHead Studio has leveraged its background in CGI to create a world that looks hauntingly real. Whether you’re watching the way the wind catches the sails of your yacht or the way the light hits a frozen peak, the immersion is front and centre.

    The developers have cited influences like Firewatch and Alan Wake, which are evident in the game’s blend of grounded reality and atmospheric tension.

    “We wanted to create a diverse adventure where gameplay never settles into a single pattern. One moment you’re navigating wind and inertia on the water, the next you’re solving puzzles rooted in real-world logic.” — Roman Novikov, Founder of TomorrowHead Studio.

    How to Play Right Now

    The demo available during Steam Next Fest offers a vertical slice of the experience. You’ll get a taste of the yacht mechanics, some introductory puzzles, and a first meeting with key characters from Will’s life.

    Release Date: Targeted for later in 2026.

    Platforms: PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

    Next Fest Window: Play the demo before it sails away on March 2, 2026.

    If you enjoy narrative-heavy experiences with high production value, this is one to add to your wishlist immediately.
