Why It Matters
Feral Interactive has built a reputation for premium, high-quality mobile ports — and Saints Row: The Third Remastered continues that standard. No subscriptions, no ads, no grind — just the complete open-world experience you remember, designed to slip into your pocket.
From skydiving in a tank to launching yourself across the city in a rocket-powered golf cart — Steelport is ready whenever you are.
The wait is over. Publisher Tripwire Presents and developer BEF Games have officially launched The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire Version 1.0 — the full release of their open‑world criminal empire simulator — on Windows PC via Steam, October 27, 2026.
What began in Early Access on October 31, 2025, has grown and evolved alongside its community, shaping itself into a deeper, richer, more reactive experience. Now it’s ready for everyone to rule the underworld.
What Is The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire?
It’s an open‑world sandbox where you build your empire from the pavement up. No set path, no fixed story — just a living city, a handful of opportunities, and your ambition. Start as a nobody: pickpocket, drive a taxi, run a street stall, or steal cars. From there, choose your road:
Run businesses — Nightclubs, warehouses, grow‑ops, production rings. Hire staff, manage supply chains, automate operations, and watch profits roll in
Build your crew — Recruit loyalists, assign them to operations, and expand your influence across the city
Fight for territory — Eleven districts, rival families, and open warfare. Take control, defend your turf, and become kingpin
Live freely — Steal, customise, race, and dismantle vehicles. Evade police, serve time, or bribe your way out. Every action has consequences
Choose your origin — Start from Nothing, as a Thief, Dealer, or Club Owner. Your opening shapes your empire
The 1.0 Upgrade — Built With the Community
This isn’t just an Early Access exit — it’s a massive leap forward, driven directly by player feedback:
What’s New
Impact
Four starting scenarios
Tailored openings make replay fresh and fair
Overhauled police system
Patrols, arrests, jail time, and escalating wanted levels — the city reacts smarter now
Warehouse tycoon gameplay
Full production chains, hire specialists, manage conditions — toxic environments can sicken your crew
Expanded progression
Skills improve through use; unlock new abilities, gear, and business options
Weapon durability & repairs
Gear wears out — maintain it or face failure mid‑job
Vehicle damage overhaul
Crashes matter; total loss means losing your ride
More reactive city — NPCs, traffic, rivals, and law enforcement all respond to your presence

From the Developers
“This game has grown with every voice in our community. Every suggestion, every bug report, every ‘what if’ made it stronger. Now 1.0 is here — and it’s yours to conquer.”
— BEF Games & Tripwire Presents
The city is waiting. Start small, dream big, and rise until nothing stands above you.
Starry Studio has officially unleashed Isles of Abyss, the largest free expansion yet for the open-world survival hit Once Human, live right now across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Android, and iOS — and you can dive in completely free. Build your ark, sail into a haunted ocean, face terrors from the deep, and uncover the secret of the Sunken Lord.
Your Ark, Your Fortress, Your Lifeline
Everything begins with your ship — a fully modular floating base you design, upgrade, and command:
Freeform Shipbuilding — mix hulls, decks, engines, and decor to create a vessel uniquely yours. Sails, electric drives, and boosters power you across the waves
Arm It for Battle — harpoon cannons, long-range deck guns, rapid-fire batteries, frost launchers, and naval mines. Phase 2 unlocks rocket launchers and oil drum deployers
Living Base — research benches, storage, crafting stations, and defences all at sea. Upgrade from a humble raft to an armoured dreadnought
Five Regions, One Sentient Ocean
This isn’t just water — it’s a living, predatory entity known as The Sunken Lord, and it’s watching you:
Five Distinct Ocean Zones — from sun-dappled shallows to lightless abyssal trenches, each with unique resources, threats, and biomes
Three Layers of Survival — sail the surface, explore island chains, and dive into the crushing dark below. Treasures and terrors wait at every depth
The Sea Reacts — ghost ships drift in the fog, unblinking lighthouses pierce the dark, and storms shift without warning. The ocean itself is your greatest foe
How It Plays — A 21-Day Cycle
The scenario runs in roughly 21 days, split into two evolving phases:
Phase
Focus
Phase 1
Explore, gather, build, and unlock the map. Purify the ocean to advance — the faster your server progresses, the sooner Phase 2 begins
Phase 2
Face deadlier threats, unlock advanced ship weapons, and unite with your entire server to confront the Sunken Lord itself
Team up with friends or join forces with strangers — some challenges demand coordinated effort.
New Gear, New Horrors
Combat Ready — all-new weapons and armour forged from ocean resources
First-Person OTS View — new perspective option for closer, more immersive encounters
Halloween Wonder Night — limited-time seasonal event running alongside the expansion
RaidZone Mode — a brutal condensed version of the ocean challenge for faster, harder runs
Ready to Set Sail
Free to Play — no purchase required. Download and play now at epic.gm/once-human
Cross-Platform — PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Android, iOS — all progress carries across
New & Returning — fresh players jump straight into the expansion; veterans can pick up right where they left off
The horizon is calling. Build your ark, sharpen your harpoons, and find out what lies beneath. But remember — the ocean isn’t empty. And it’s not alone.
The wait is finally over for fans of deep-space exploration and old-school tactical combat. Maverick Games is proud to announce that the highly anticipated 1.0 version of Stellar Tactics is officially available now on Steam, as well as GOG and Humble.
Developed by indie veteran Don Wilkins, Stellar Tactics has been a labour of love nearly ten years in the making. Since first appearing in Early Access in 2016, the game has evolved into a massive, open-ended sci-fi sandbox that blends the nostalgia of classic RPGs with modern procedural scale.
A Universe Without Limits
What sets Stellar Tactics apart in the crowded sci-fi genre is its sheer scope. Players aren’t just following a linear path; they are given the keys to a living universe featuring over 160,000 star systems. Whether you want to be a master trader, a feared bounty hunter, or a dedicated explorer of ancient ruins, the game’s “classless” progression system allows for total freedom.
Key Features of the 1.0 Launch:
Tactical Ground Combat: Engage in deep, turn-based squad battles against mutants and rival factions.
Deep Customisation: Over 240 perks and a vast array of gear enhanced by Nano-Tech.
Space Exploration & Flight: Pilot and customise 40 different ships, featuring asteroid mining and a dynamic commodity market.
The “Azimuth” System: A synergistic combat mechanic designed to challenge even the most seasoned strategy veterans.
Why the 1.0 Milestone Matters
For the gaming community, the “1.0” label is more than just a number—it represents a promise kept. Maverick Games has spent years refining the experience based on player feedback, adding quality-of-life updates like improved inventory management and mission-based XP to ensure the grind feels rewarding rather than tedious.
“Stellar Tactics is a return to the excitement and wonder of classic RPGs… featuring a compelling narrative and rewarding open-world exploration,” stated Maverick Games in their official launch announcement.
How to Play
You can pick up Stellar Tactics right now on the Steam Store. The game is also verified as “Playable” on Steam Deck, making it a perfect companion for those looking to conquer the galaxy while on the go.
For those who have been tracking this project since its 2016 debut, the 1.0 release is a victory lap for independent development. For newcomers, it’s an invitation to lose yourself in one of the most expansive sci-fi universes ever crafted by a dedicated indie studio.

The survival genre is crowded, but every so often, a title emerges that promises more than just a “hunger meter” and a basic crafting bench. Enter Maja Island, the upcoming open-world survival adventure set to hit Steam, and it’s already generating a quiet roar among fans of the genre.
If you’ve ever felt that survival games have become a bit too predictable, Maja Island wants to change your mind by blending brutal realism with a hauntingly beautiful environment.
What is Maja Island?
At its core, Maja Island is a high-stakes survival experience where the environment is just as much your enemy as the creatures inhabiting it. You wake up on the shores of a sprawling, mysterious land with nothing but your wits and the debris at your feet.
But this isn’t a tropical vacation. The island is dense with shifting weather patterns, scarce resources, and a verticality that forces you to think three-dimensionally about your base of operations.
Key Features to Watch For:
Dynamic Ecosystems: The flora and fauna aren’t just background noise; they react to your presence. Over-hunting an area might lead to a predator shortage, while ignoring a specific plant species might cost you a vital medicinal ingredient.
Deep Crafting Logic: Forget clicking a button and instantly having a house. Maja Island leans into a more tactile crafting system where structural integrity and material quality actually matter.
The “Unseen” Threat: While the game features traditional survival mechanics, there is a narrative thread involving the island’s history that suggests something… unusual is happening beneath the surface.
Why the Steam Community is Buzzing
Steam players are notoriously picky about “Early Access” survival games, but the developers of Maja Island seem to be taking a “polish first” approach. The visual fidelity—powered by high-end lighting systems and dense foliage rendering—makes the island feel lived-in and ancient.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on your hydration levels. Unlike other games where water is a minor inconvenience, in Maja Island, dehydration affects your stamina regeneration and vision long before it hits your health bar.
Survival of the Smartest
Maja Island isn’t just about how many spears you can carry; it’s about how well you can adapt to a world that doesn’t want you there. Whether you’re fortifying a cave against a coming storm or diving into reef systems for rare materials, the game rewards patience over mindless grinding.
Maja Island is currently available on the Wishlist on Steam. With a release window looming, it’s time to start gathering your crew—or preparing to go it alone.

The Solar Echoes universe is expanding, but this time, you aren’t the hero.
Corefun Studios has officially announced its latest project, Solar Echoes: Star Fated, a top-down 2D open-world Action-RPG that takes the established sci-fi lore in a darker, more dangerous direction. Unlike previous entries in the franchise, Star Fated puts players in the cockpit of a ship commanded by Asteron, a ruthless criminal and one of the most feared figures in the galaxy.
A Galaxy Against You
In Star Fated, you aren’t just fighting for glory; you’re fighting for survival. After a high-stakes heist, Asteron is on the run with a stolen alien artefact and a target on his back. You’ll navigate a free-roaming galaxy while being hunted by:
The Union Guard: The law of the stars.
The Black Stars: A powerful and vengeful crime syndicate.
Bounty Hunters & Pirates: Looking to cash in on the price for your head.
The stakes are high inside the ship, too. Asteron’s crew of six aliens were hired under false pretences and are now effectively trapped, held in check by fear and a lethal artefact. The developer describes the crew’s evolution from fear to potential resistance as the “emotional core” of the game.
Key Gameplay Features
Massive Customisation: Upgrade your starship with over 750 equipment items, ranging from advanced shields to devastating weaponry.
Consequence-Driven World: The universe reacts to your villainy. Raid a supply ship, and you’ll see those goods vanish from local stations. News broadcasts will even track your crimes across star systems.
Tactical Ship Combat: Real-time, top-down combat where skill is just as important as your ship’s build.
Fully Voice-Acted Story: A character-driven narrative where your choices determine who you betray—and who betrays you.
From Tabletop to PC
Corefun Studios has spent over a decade building the Solar Echoes brand, starting with the original tabletop RPG and expanding into novels and the visual novel The Star Legation.
“For every Solar Echoes story I’ve written, I ask: what forged this character? Star Fated is Asteron’s origin story—the first time players experience the universe from the criminal’s side.” — Andy, Lead Developer at Corefun Studios
Availability
While a definitive release date is still TBD (targeted for Q4 2027), the game is currently in development for PC. You can already head over to Steam to add Solar Echoes: Star Fated to your wishlist and watch the official reveal trailer.

The wait is over, and the wheels are turning! Today, February 23, 2026, developer Randwerk and publisher Sidekick Publishing have officially dropped the surprise playable demo for WANDERBURG as part of Steam Next Fest.
If you’ve ever looked at a medieval castle and thought, “This would be much better if it had a giant engine, 12-foot wheels, and a hunger for villages,” then this is the game you’ve been waiting for.
What is WANDERBURG?
Described as “Howl’s Moving Castle meets Agar.io,” WANDERBURG is a minimalist open-world roguelike where you pilot a Castle on Wheels. In this bizarre ecosystem, castles are the apex predators. You aren’t just defending a fortress; you are the fortress, and you are hungry.
Key Features of the Demo
The demo offers a substantial look at the core gameplay loop that has already earned the game over 250,000 wishlists:
Consume and Grow: Roll over fleeing villages and smaller fortresses to fuel your expansion. As you defeat bosses, your castle physically grows from a small tower to a massive, multi-module war machine.
Modular Arsenal: Customise your build on the fly. You can staff your ramparts with Wizard Towers, mount heavy Cannons, deploy Explosive Mines, or even attach Giant Spider Legs for mobility.
Survivors-Like Progression: While you navigate an open world, the combat and upgrade system draws inspiration from “survivor-like” mechanics, offering satisfying power scaling within every run.
“Ready-for-Potato” Optimisation: The developers have ensured the game runs smoothly on almost any hardware, from high-end rigs to office laptops and handhelds.
“Wanderburg is a minimalist open-world roguelike in an ecosystem of Castles on Wheels. Consume, grow bigger, upgrade your modules, and survive!” — Randwerk Development Team
Why the Hype?
WANDERBURG first turned heads at the 2025 PC Gaming Show, and a recent closed playtest saw a staggering 126,000 participants. The community feedback from that test has been baked into this new Demo build, which includes more content, refined vehicle handling, and improved balance.
How to Play
The demo is available right now on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest, which runs from February 23 to March 2.

Ever played a game where the only rule is that there are no rules? Sounds chaotic, right? Well, that’s the beautiful, messy, and utterly exhilarating essence of “No Law,” a game that promises pure anarchy and delivers unforgettable moments. Forget intricate mechanics, complex storylines, or even a clear objective – No Law is a blank canvas for emergent gameplay, where the players themselves dictate the narrative.
What is “No Law”?
At its core, “No Law” isn’t a game in the traditional sense, but rather a framework for improvisation and player-driven creativity. Think of it as a social experiment disguised as a game. It typically involves a group of people, a designated “space” (which could be anything from a living room to an entire park), and a simple premise: anything goes. There are no pre-defined roles, no victory conditions, and no rulebook to consult. The magic happens in the interactions, the decisions, and the sheer audacity of the players.
The Beauty of Chaos
The initial moments of a “No Law” game can be a fascinating study in human behaviour. Some players might immediately seize the opportunity to create order, attempting to establish their own rules or take leadership. Others might embrace the chaos, testing boundaries and engaging in playful mischief. This dynamic interplay is where the true fun begins.
One of the most compelling aspects of “No Law” is its ability to generate unique and often hilarious scenarios. Imagine a game where:
Someone declares themselves king and tries to levy taxes on other players, who then respond by forming a rebellion.
A group decides to build a makeshift fort out of pillows and blankets, leading to an epic pillow fight siege.
Two players spontaneously decide they are rival detectives, each investigating a “crime” that no one else is aware of.
The possibilities are truly endless, limited only by the collective imagination of the group.
Why Play “No Law”?
Unleash Creativity: Without the constraints of rules, players are free to think outside the box and invent their own challenges, goals, and interactions. It’s a fantastic way to foster improvisational skills and creative problem-solving.
Social Experimentation: “No Law” offers a unique lens into group dynamics. You’ll see how different personalities react to the absence of structure, how leaders emerge (or don’t), and how communities form (or fall apart) in real-time.
Pure Fun and Laughter: Let’s be honest, sometimes the most fun comes from the unexpected. The sheer absurdity and unpredictability of “No Law” guarantee plenty of laughter and memorable anecdotes.
No Two Games Are Alike: Because the game is entirely player-driven, every single session of “No Law” will be completely different. This replayability is a huge draw, as you never know what new madness will unfold.
How to Get Started
Getting a “No Law” game going is incredibly simple:
Gather Your Players: The more, the merrier, but even a small group can have a blast.
Define Your Space: This could be a single room, a backyard, or even a virtual space online.
State the Core Premise: “There are no rules, do whatever you want.”
Let Go: The most important step is for everyone to embrace the idea of genuine freedom and see where it takes them.
You might find it helpful to have a few simple props on hand – things like blankets, toys, or even just pens and paper – as these can often spark ideas and act as catalysts for emergent play.
Beyond the Chaos
While “No Law” thrives on anarchy, it often leads to fascinating patterns of emergent order. Players, even without explicit rules, tend to create their own social contracts, alliances, and even impromptu mini-games within the larger “no-rule” framework. It’s a testament to the human desire for structure, even when explicitly told there is none.
So, if you’re looking for a refreshing break from overly structured games, or if you simply want to experience the thrill of true creative freedom, gather some friends and dive into the beautiful chaos of “No Law.” You might just discover your new favourite way to play.
