    The Cure is Calling: Codename CURE II Drops on Steam This July!

    The zombie apocalypse is getting a serious upgrade, and your squad is on the clock.

    Mark your calendars for July 24, 2026. Indie publisher indie.io and developer Raptor Byte have officially announced that Codename CURE II, the highly anticipated sequel to the hit free-to-play cooperative first-person shooter, is officially launching on Steam.

    If you thought surviving the undead was tough before, it’s time to gear up, lock in, and see if you actually have what it takes to cleanse the wasteland.

    Five Players. One Mission: Survive.

    Codename CURE II throws players right into the brutal aftermath of a zombie outbreak. Unlike traditional four-player co-op shooters, this tactical nightmare ups the ante by dropping five-player squads into highly infected hot zones.

    Whether you’re planting explosives to purge a nest or holding the line for a desperate extraction, success relies on one thing: absolute synergy. Going rogue isn’t just a bad idea—it’s a death sentence for your entire team.

    Day-One Drop: The Combat Specialist Pack

    Raptor Byte isn’t sending you into the horde empty-handed. Launching right alongside the free-to-play base game is the Combat Specialist Pack. While details on the exact contents are being kept under wraps, players can expect a premium haul of gear to help customise their loadouts and stand out (or blend into the shadows) while painted in zombie blood.

    Mission Briefing: What You Need to Know

    • Title: Codename CURE II
    • Release Date: July 24, 2026
    • Platform: PC (Steam)
    • Price: Free-to-Play
    • Developer: Raptor Byte

    Why You and Your Squad Should Care

    The indie co-op scene has been begging for a tactical, high-stakes shooter that focuses heavily on objective-based team play without a mandatory price tag. By keeping the game free-to-play and expanding the squad dynamic to five players, Codename CURE II is positioning itself to be the next big weekend staple for gaming groups everywhere.

    Wishlist it on Steam now, rally your crew, and get ready to deploy on July 24. The world isn’t going to save itself.

  • Long Live the Trash King: Royal Vermin Officially Launches on Steam and Nintendo Switch

    Long Live the Trash King: Royal Vermin Officially Launches on Steam and Nintendo Switch

    The era of human dominance is over, and the age of the scavenger has begun. Tobafeu Studio has officially announced the global release of Royal Vermin, a chaotic, physics-driven local multiplayer brawler, now available as a free-to-play title on Steam and the Nintendo Switch eShop.

    Set in a vibrant, decaying world where humanity has vanished, Royal Vermin invites players to step into the paws, wings, and claws of the world’s most resilient pests. Whether you’re a rat with a grudge or a seagull with an appetite for power, the goal is simple: survive the heap and claim the golden throne.


    Bridging the Skill Gap

    The developers at Tobafeu Studio built Royal Vermin with a specific mission in mind: ending the “Pro Player” reign. We’ve all been there—a casual game night is ruined because one person has mastered the frame-perfect combos while everyone else is just trying to find the jump button.

    Royal Vermin levels the playing field using:

    • Projectile-Focused Combat: Forget complex melee inputs; grab junk, charge your shots, and hurl debris to knock rivals out of the arena.
    • Unstable Environments: The arenas are literally made of trash. Levels collapse, shift, and evolve mid-match, making the environment just as dangerous as your opponents.
    • Adaptive Difficulty: Settings can be adjusted during the match to keep the tension high and the scoreboards close.

    No One Truly Dies: Revenge Mode

    One of the game’s standout features is the Revenge Mode. In most brawlers, being eliminated means sitting on the sidelines scrolling through your phone. In Royal Vermin, eliminated players remain in the game as ghostly influences, capable of sabotaging the leader and turning the tide of the match. It’s “communism in action,” as the devs jokingly put it—ensuring no one sits on the throne for too long without a fight.


    Expand the Empire: “Beyond the Waste” DLC

    While the base game is free, players looking to deepen their hoarding habits can pick up the “Beyond the Waste” DLC. This expansion pack includes:

    • 50+ New Levels: Taking the fight out of the junkyard and into even more bizarre locales.
    • 4 New Game Modes: Fresh ways to scramble for dominance.
    • Vermin Customisation: New hats and outfits to ensure your critter is the most stylish scavenger on the pile.

    “We wanted to create a game where the most important thing isn’t your reflexes, but the laughter and the ‘did you see that?’ moments,” says the team at Tobafeu Studio.

    Availability

    Royal Vermin is available now for Free on:

    PC (Steam): Supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux (with Steam Remote Play Together support).

    Nintendo Switch: Perfect for portable couch co-op mayhem.
