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

    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!

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

    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.

    Key Features — Build Your Galactic Legacy

    FeatureWhat It Means
    Turn-based depthTake your time planning moves — no rush, just careful strategy
    Physical supply chainsDeliver resources across light-years; lose the line and you lose progress
    Free tactical movementFleets go where you send them — open space, open options
    Layered colony growthFrom mine to metropolis — shape every world’s role
    Alien encountersThe galaxy isn’t empty; meet, negotiate, or fight indigenous species
    Cross-platform releasePC via Steam + iOS + Android — same galaxy, same saves, anywhere
    Wishlist nowSteam page live — follow development, watch the trailer, be first to know

    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.”

    — Stumpseed

    Ready to Settle?

    • Launch: April 2027
    • PC: Steam — store page & announcement trailer live now
    • Mobile: iOS & Android — same-day release
    • Wishlist today — be notified the moment it goes live

    The galaxy is waiting. Your first outpost is ready. Will you expand carefully, build boldly, and carry humanity to the stars?

  • Don’t Touch the Walls — Hyphen Spins Onto Mobile Oct 28, Steam Gets Major Update

    Don’t Touch the Walls — Hyphen Spins Onto Mobile Oct 28, Steam Gets Major Update

    A constantly spinning stick, a glowing neon maze, and one ironclad rule: don’t touch anything.

    Hyphen — the fiercely addictive precision action‑puzzle game that first captivated players on PC back in 2015 — is making its mobile debut on iPhone, iPad, and Android this Wednesday, 28 October, priced at £3.99 as a premium one‑time purchase. And that’s not all: the Steam version is receiving a substantial free update alongside the launch, marking a spectacular second life for a game that vanished from storefronts for years.

    Simple to Learn, Merciless to Master

    The premise is as elegant as it is unforgiving: you control a continuously rotating line navigating through increasingly complex neon mazes. Walls, moving barriers, patrolling enemies, and sudden traps block your path. Brush against any of them, and it’s back to the start.

    • 36 hand‑crafted campaign levels — rising from gentle introduction to finger‑twisting, breath‑holding difficulty
    • Original soundtrack by Andrew Lloyd that shifts and builds with every zone
    • Two unlockable minigames — extra challenges for those who conquer the main maze
    • Touchscreen‑optimised controls — fully rebuilt in MonoGame to feel natural and responsive on phones and tablets
    • Cross‑platform community levels — play creations made on PC directly on your mobile device

    Steam Update — Visual Boosts, Community Creations

    The Windows edition on Steam gets a major refresh the same day:

    • Visual enhancements across the board — sharper effects, smoother animations
    • Seamless community level access — hundreds of player‑made challenges created via the September Level Editor and Steam Workshop are now fully integrated
    • Price adjustment — drops from £15.25 to £7.99 on 28 October
    • Steam Deck & Linux support — fully playable via Proton

    From Disappearance to Revival

    Hyphen originally launched in 2015 but became unavailable for roughly seven years after its original developer wound down operations. It returned to Steam earlier in 2026, was rebuilt with a Level Editor and Workshop integration in September, and now — more than a decade after it first appeared — reaches a whole new audience on mobile.

    “When we brought Hyphen back to Steam, we hoped people would rediscover it,” the team shared. “Seeing it on phones and tablets, in pockets everywhere, is beyond anything we imagined.”

    Ready to Spin?

    Hyphen launches globally on App Store, Google Play, and Steam — 28 October 2026:

    • Mobile: £3.99 — premium, no ads, no in‑app purchases, everything included
    • Steam: Free update for all owners; price drops to £7.99

    Hyphen — where one mistake means you start over, and one perfect run feels like a miracle. Don’t touch the walls.

  • Forge Forward — Northern Forge Studios Unveils Orna Classic, Balor, and Convergence Update in Showcase Spectacular

    Forge Forward — Northern Forge Studios Unveils Orna Classic, Balor, and Convergence Update in Showcase Spectacular

    Canadian independent game developer Northern Forge Studios has pulled back the curtain on the next era of its rapidly expanding RPG universe during Forge Forward — the studio’s very first digital games showcase. The packed event delivered a triple-threat of announcements: the surprise immediate launch of a beloved classic experience, the world premiere of an all-new IP, and details on a landmark multiplayer update that will transform two of the studio’s biggest titles.

    Surprise Drop — Orna Classic Launches Today

    The biggest cheer of the night came right out of the gate: Orna Classic is available now. This standalone release returns players to the earliest, most cherished form of Orna: the GPS RPG, recreating the gameplay, balance, and feel of the game as it existed in its most celebrated early days.

    Crafted with long-time fans at heart, Orna Classic strips away years of additions to deliver the pure, streamlined adventure that first hooked players. It’s a chance to relive the magic — or experience the beginning for the very first time — free from the complexity that naturally grows alongside a living RPG. Whether you’re an original tester or a newer arrival, Classic offers a fresh, nostalgic path through the world of Aethric.

    All-New Reveal — Balor: Dungeons, Creatures, and Collection

    Forge Forward also premiered Balor, the next major franchise entry — an entirely standalone dungeon crawler and creature collector built from the ground up by Northern Forge.

    Venturing into deep, procedurally generated labyrinths, players will:

    • Explore twisting dungeons filled with ancient secrets and formidable foes
    • Capture, train, and evolve dozens of unique creatures
    • Build strategic parties to tackle increasingly challenging encounters
    • Uncover the mystery behind the shadowy figure the game is named after

    Balor expands the Northern Forge universe into entirely new territory — blending the deep lore fans love with gameplay mechanics never before seen in the series. Further details including platforms and release window are expected in the coming months.

    Patch 4.0: Convergence — Worlds Come Together

    Perhaps the most ambitious undertaking unveiled is Patch 4.0: Convergence, a sweeping multiplayer-focused update heading to both Orna: the GPS RPG and Hero of Aethric. Convergence reimagines how players connect, cooperate, and adventure across the entire Ornaverse.

    Key highlights include:

    For Orna: the GPS RPG

    • Completely reworked Kingdom system — nine shared weekly quests, contribution leaderboards, expanded stats, and animated custom banners
    • Crusades — an all-new cooperative PvE mode where parties of up to six Kingdom members tackle themed encounters for exclusive rewards
    • Kingdom Realms — customizable shared spaces that bring your community together like never before

    For Hero of Aethric

    • Social Towns — see other players moving in real time, interact, use emotes, and form parties right in town hubs
    • Overhauled chat — reactions, replies, and improved navigation
    • Redesigned Archpaths — more flexible progression that lets you advance at your own pace
    • Fresh UI and settings across the board

    Convergence is slated to enter open beta soon, with a full release following after community testing and refinement.

    Building a Living Universe

    Taken together, these announcements signal a bold new chapter for Northern Forge Studios — one where they honour their roots with Orna Classic, explore new frontiers with Balor, and strengthen the foundation of their existing community with Convergence.

    “Forge Forward wasn’t just about showing what’s next — it was about showing that we value where we came from, where we’re going, and everyone travelling with us,” said the studio in a closing statement. “The Ornaverse is growing, and you’re invited to every corner of it.”

    Orna Classic is available now. Balor is coming soon. Convergence is on the horizon. The adventure continues — in more ways than one.

  • Chains, Champions & a New Hero — Torchlight: Infinite SS14 Tartarus Drops October 15!

    Chains, Champions & a New Hero — Torchlight: Infinite SS14 Tartarus Drops October 15!

    XD Games has officially pulled back the curtain on Torchlight: Infinite Season 14 — “Tartarus”, launching globally Thursday 15 October 2026. The boldest season yet blends action RPG combat with prison management strategy, introduces a brand-new Hero Trait for Youga, and brings Followers, Pactspirits, and visual overhauls across PC, iOS, and Android.

    The Tartarus Mode — Catch, Train, Fight Your Own Inmates

    The season’s headline feature is a three-phase gameplay loop unlike anything the series has seen before:

    Phase 1 — The Hunt

    Venture into the Netherrealm to track down and defeat escaped prisoners. Collect their nameplates — these are your future inmates. Every capture is a potential powerhouse… or a dangerous threat.

    Phase 2 — The Prison

    Take command of a circular facility with 16 cells over 20 turns. Assign inmates to cells, pit them against each other, or set them against beasts — elephants, lions, wolves, and rats — to raise their power and rarity. Balance their growth, manage conflicts, and shape the roster you’ll eventually face.

    Phase 3 — The Breakout

    Your perfected inmates turn on you. Battle through three prison levels across six difficulty tiers. The stronger you made them, the tougher the fight — and the richer the rewards. Defeat them all to claim Warden’s Caches bursting with loot.

    Spacetime Witness Youga — New Hero Trait

    Youga takes centre stage with a completely reimagined playstyle:

    PathFocus
    Spacetime DictatorEnhanced projectiles & time manipulation
    Spacetime ConquerorMobility & chained area damage
    Spacetime DominatorPure spell power & amplification

    Clockwork Core automatically casts Entanglement while critical strikes slash cooldowns — maintain the rhythm and the spells flow nonstop.

    Followers, Pactspirits & Polish

    • Followers system — recruit and deploy allies to aid your runs
    • New Pactspirits — fresh companion powers to build around
    • Visual & audio upgrades — polished effects, improved environments, and remastered sound
    • New skills & support gems — expand your build creativity from launch day

    Launch Times & Platforms

    DetailInfo

    Free to PlayAll new content available to all players

    Why It Matters

    Torchlight: Infinite has consistently delivered fresh twists on the ARPG formula, but Tartarus is something else entirely — a strategy layer woven into the loot-and-level loop. Build your prison, train your foes, then fight what you’ve created. It’s risky, rewarding, and entirely unique.

    The gates open October 15. Will you run the prison… or will the prison run you?

  • Settle the Score: Battle Waves: Mobile Drops Season 2 ‘Friends & Foes’ with Direct PvP Invites

    Settle the Score: Battle Waves: Mobile Drops Season 2 ‘Friends & Foes’ with Direct PvP Invites

    The battlefield just got personal.

    Following a massive launch that raked in over 175,000 downloads in its first six weeks, solo developer Gabriel’s Games has officially deployed Season 2: Friends & Foes for its hit free-to-play mobile deckbuilder and auto-battler, Battle Waves: Mobile.

    Available right now on the iOS App Store and Google Play, this major six-week live season changes the game by turning tactical online matchmaking into direct neighbourhood rivalries. If you’ve been waiting to prove your deck-building superiority to your closest friends, your time has come.

    What’s New in Season 2: Friends & Foes?

    This update moves the solo-developed title into a brand-new era of player expression and competition. Here is a breakdown of the major features hitting the live game today:

    • Direct Friend PvP Invites: No more relying solely on ranked matchmaking queues. You can now officially build out a Friends List, send direct invites, and challenge your friends to real-time 1v1 tactical showdowns. It’s the perfect playground to test out experimental faction decks or finally settle long-standing gaming grudges.
    • The Season 2 Battle Pass: Progress through an entirely fresh seasonal reward track featuring both Free and Premium tiers. Players can unlock gold, gems, stardust, faction unlocks, and unique cosmetics to show off on the battlefield.
    • New Daily Quests (With Tripled XP): Grinding the Battle Pass is smoother than ever. Season 2 introduces new quest types—including objectives tailored to specific factions and PvP victories. To top it off, Daily Quests now yield tripled Battle Pass XP rewards.
    • Expanded PvP Customisation: True strategy requires a proper backdrop. Players can now select and set their favourite PvP arena, personalising their match experience and setting the aesthetic vibe for their victories.

    “Battle Waves has always been about outsmarting your opponent,” says Gabriel Langlois, founder of Gabriel’s Games. “Season 2 makes that rivalry personal. Now you can invite a friend, test your deck, and settle the rivalry in a real match.”

    How to Join the Battle

  • No More Auto-Play: How War Legends is Reviving True Mobile RTS

    No More Auto-Play: How War Legends is Reviving True Mobile RTS

    The mobile gaming landscape is crowded with strategy titles that promise high-stakes warfare but deliver little more than automated clickers. For purists who grew up on classic PC real-time strategy (RTS) games, the mobile shift has often felt like a series of compromises.

    Enter War Legends.

    Instead of stripping away the depth that defined the genre, this new title is drawing a line in the sand. Built from the ground up around the core, uncompromising principles of classic RTS, War Legends puts true strategic power right back where it belongs: in the player’s hands.

    The Death of Automation, The Return of Skill

    For too long, mobile “strategy” has been synonymous with timers, auto-combat, and battles that essentially play themselves while you watch. War Legends is completely disrupting this trend by ditching the training wheels.

    The developers chose a bold direction: rather than simplifying the mechanics for smaller touchscreens, they focused on what made the RTS genre compelling in the first place.

    What to Expect on the Battlefield:

    • Direct Unit Control: Micro-manage your squads and command individual units with precision. No AI algorithms are choosing your targets for you.
    • Meaningful Base Building: Your base layout matters. Decide where to place structures and experiment with custom build orders to optimise your production and defence.
    • Resource Gathering: Manage your economy in real-time. Balance harvesting gold and wood with training an army capable of fending off early rushes.
    • Tactical Combat: Victories are earned through flanking manoeuvres, positioning, and fast reflexes—not by who spent the most money to skip a timer.

    A Classic PC Experience in Your Pocket

    Set in a vibrant, war-torn fantasy world where Light and Dark factions clash, War Legends proves that deep, tactical gameplay doesn’t just work on mobile—it thrives. By optimising controls for precise touch input, the game captures the high-APM (Actions Per Minute) thrill of legacy PC titles without requiring a mouse and keyboard.

    Whether you are diving into the intense story-driven campaigns or testing your skill against global players in hardcore PvP matches, one thing is guaranteed: every victory is earned through your own genuine strategy.

    The era of passive mobile gaming is over. It’s time to build, micro, and conquer for real.

    Dying in Style: Dice of Kalma Hits 500K Players and Drops Massive “Funeral Fashion” Update

    The Underworld has never looked this good.

    Pepperbox Studios has officially announced that Dice of Kalma, their hit roguelike deckbuilder, has crossed a massive milestone: over 500,000 players worldwide have descended into the depths to challenge Kalma, the grim guardian of the Underworld, in his high-stakes game of dice poker.

    To celebrate half a million souls braving the abyss, the studio is dropping its highly anticipated Version 1.5 “Funeral Fashion” update, alongside a gorgeous new cinematic trailer. If you thought escaping death was a drab affair, think again—it’s time to spruce up your underworld wardrobe.

    What’s New in the “Funeral Fashion” Update?

    This major update injects a healthy dose of style, strategy, and quality-of-life improvements into the addictive, luck-pushing roguelike. Here is what players can expect when they log in:

    1. The Wardrobe & Unlockable Cosmetics

    You can now earn stylish cosmetic rewards by completing in-game achievements. A brand-new Wardrobe Menu has been added to the main menu, allowing you to personalise your journey.

    • Fresh Dreads & Dice: Unlock and equip a wide range of stylish Hats, Capes, and custom Dice skins.
    • Kalma’s Judgment: Want some feedback on your look? When you equip a new hat or cape, Kalma himself will comment on your fashion choices when you start a run.
    • Royal Upgrades: For players looking to support the developers, Supporter Packs have been expanded to include exclusive Royal Capes alongside the existing crowns.

    2. Six Brand-New Skulls

    Mechanics are getting a serious shake-up with six new strategic skulls to add to your deck, unlocking powerful new synergies and game-breaking combos:

    • Half Skull: Grants extra bones, a multiplier, and a reroll if the mathematical difference between your first two dice equals the difference between the last two.
    • Chieftain Skull: Rewards you if at least two of the three middle dice match.
    • Shaman Skull: Activates when the sum of your odd dice outweighs the sum of your even dice.
    • Hacker Skull: Gives massive bonuses if the total sum of your dice is a prime number (divisible only by itself).
    • Nailed Skull & Queen Skull: Introduce high-tier tactical rewards based on matching specific positions and managing unique dice numbers relative to your spent rerolls.

    3. Cloud Saves Are Safely Secured

    No more fearing lost progress. The 1.5 update introduces official Cloud Saves (powered by Unity). While cross-platform saves between PC and mobile aren’t supported, your progress will seamlessly sync across Windows, Mac, and Linux.
