The Alters Complete Edition Lands on PlayStation 5 on 20 November

The only person you can rely on is yourself. And another yourself. And another. Silver Lining Interactive and 11 bit studios are thrilled to announce that The Alters Complete Edition, inclusive of Last Variable DLC, will officially launch for PlayStation 5 on 20 November for £34.99/€39.99/$39.99.

Along with the complete base game and 4 Deluxe Outfits, The Alters Complete Edition comes fully integrated with the new story expansion, Last Variable. This major story DLC focuses on the Jan Scientist alter, who can finally pursue his true calling (outside of just survival) – research.

The Variable Left Behind

Following the base campaign’s split ending where Jan Scientist stays behind on the hostile planet, The Last Variable expansion adds roughly 20 hours of story content centered around managing a static underground base and specialized scientist clones. Together, your team works to unlock a mysterious surface ecosystem called the Oasis, weathering 13-year heat phases via cryosleep while surface-bound Alters age and endure harsh environmental threats. But will they change once faced with the vulnerability of ageing?

The Alters Complete Edition brings the definitive Jan Dolski survival experience to physical media for the very first time, packing both the acclaimed base game and The Last Variable expansion onto a single PlayStation 5 disc. Collectors can pre-order their copy today at major retailers ahead of its November 20th release.

Investigate Palace Conspiracies in KOEI TECMO’s The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother

KOEI TECMO America and developer Gust in collaboration with TOHO Co, Ltd., announced The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother, the first-ever console game adaptation of the popular franchise The Apothecary Diaries. Alongside Maomao and other iconic characters, fans will discover a new exclusive story and characters conceptualized by series author Hyuganatsu. The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother is currently in development and set to release early 2027 on Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, and PC via Steam®.

In The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother, players follow Maomao, a pleasure-district apothecary who now works in the rear palace. She finds herself investigating the Five Mysteries and Five Curses, two chains of strange phenomena and conspiracies causing chaos throughout the rear palace, the pleasure district, and streets of the capital. During her investigation, she stumbles upon the would-be-suspect, a masked man calling himself the “imperial younger brother”. As rumors swirl, Maomao is roped into an investigation that will lead her to uncover a shocking secret that could destroy the imperial court.

To conduct their investigation, Maomao will be joined by familiar figures such as Jinshi, the influential eunuch of the rear palace, as well as new characters including Guanyu, a travelling actor whose fame is growing in the capital. To uncover the truth behind the Five Curses and the identity of the “imperial younger brother”, fans will need to explore, gather evidence, and organize the information at their disposal to make deductions, while also gathering apothecary ingredients to concoct the medicines.

During the investigation phase, players will be able to not only explore the scene, but also the surrounding city and the rear palace to find clues or interview witnesses. By venturing outside the city, Maomao will be able to gather the ingredients needed to concoct medicines that can serve as evidence or enable her to help her friends. Once the players have gathered enough information and evidence, they will be able to review them in the deduction phase.

Throughout the deduction phase, Maomao will review clues and succinctly summarize the facts to help her unravel the mystery and present her theory. However, simply presenting deductions will not always be enough, and fans will need to be able to present solid proof as the other party argues back. They will need to carefully select their answers by reviewing the information, present the relevant evidence by looking into Maomao’s notebook, or combine information together to convince the other party. The more information players gather, the more evidence they will be able to produce, helping them to solve the case.

The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother will be presented in more detail during a special livestream broadcasted live from the KOEI TECMO stage at the Tokyo Game Show 2026 on Sept. 20, 2026, featuring the voice actors Aoi Yuki (Maomao), Takeo Otsuka (Jinshi) and Yohei Azakami (Guanyu).

The Apothecary Diaries: The False Imperial Brother is currently in development and is scheduled for release in early 2027 on Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, and PC Steam®. The game will include Japanese voices with English text.

Port of Jumanah Has Set Sail on Steam, Epic, and PlayStation Store

Red Dunes Games and Agate today announced that Port of Jumanah is now available on Steam, Epic, and PlayStation Store. Divers will also be tempted by a new full-release trailer showcasing the game’s fast-paced underwater expeditions, exotic sea creatures, vibrant worlds, and evolving port.

In Port of Jumanah, you play as Mansour, a pearl diver about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Descend fearlessly into dangerous waters to fight sea monsters, experiment with new equipment and upgrades, and make decisions that shape each expedition. Back on shore, the resources and allies that you recover will help rebuild Jumanah’s port and open new possibilities for future runs.

“Port of Jumanah is an homage to our region’s Pearl Diving history…with a delightful touch of nonsense. At its heart is an upbeat Arabian regular guy who always seems to encounter dangerous and often cute things (but mostly dangerous) with a cheerful disposition and sheer grit. Whether you play casually or hardcore, just remember the often-forgotten rule of the sea: if it looks suspicious, it probably is. Enjoy, habibi.” said Sultan Darmaki, CEO and Creative Director at Red Dunes Games.

Key features include:

Dive into ever-changing danger: Explore the depths, confront sea monsters, and discover new opportunities during each expedition.
Build a powerful loadout: Upgrade your gear and experiment with different combos to tackle increasingly dangerous encounters.
Recruit unusual allies: Meet a colorful cast of characters who can help (or complicate) the journey.
Rebuild the port: Bring your discoveries back to Jumanah and transform the port as progress continues.
A playful maritime adventure: Experience a colorful, story-rich world filled with humor, fantasy, and decisions that you’ll probably regret.

Maneater 2 announcement trailer

Maneater was a blast. Pure and simple. Fun, goofy, bloody, weirdly educational fun. Seeing confirmation we’re getting a sequel absolutely brought a smile to my face. I can’t wait to see what kind of bizarre mutations we’ll get and hopefully some new ways to devour our prey. I liked that there will be new predators as well to face off against. As you’d imagine, I’m really pumped to dive back in as a shark. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Until Dawn 2 release date trailer

I’m still very confused how this is a sequel to Until Dawn. I gave some leigh way when the Until Dawn 2 reveal trailer dropped. After getting a more in depth look, I’m still fairly convinced the title was tacked on for brand recognition. On it’s own, the game looks nice visually so far. The story elements aren’t really grabbing me so far. I’ll keep an eye out but in the end I’m not really anywhere near as hyped as I should be. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Psychological Horror, Perceptum, announces release window across all platforms

As you all know, we here at Savior Gaming love horror movies and games. It is just kind of what we do, so when Perceptum popped up in my email, you can say I perked up a little bit. Alone in a house with a mirror, seeing weird and scary stuff is definitely something with potential, and I will be keeping an eye on it.

Coming toPlayStation 5, Xbox Series, andSteam in Spring 2027, here is everything you need to know about Perceptum and why you might get the feeling you’re being watched when the title drops:

· An empty house. A missing family. A mystery the police couldn’t solve. Playing as a Medium, you’ll investigate a cold and seemingly quiet case. Equipped with only a mirror to see what the naked eye can’t and a “gift” to home in on sounds when closing your eyes, the oppressive family home will be yours to search for clues and solve puzzles. Are you brave enough to find out what truly happened here?

· Risk and reward go hand-in-hand with vulnerability playing a leading role. Hidden traces are scattered throughout the house and with your only two mechanics to help guide you, every creek, whisper, and scuttle will be felt to your core.

· An inescapable, intense atmosphere not for the faint hearted. The feeling of being watched. A suspicious shadow. An unexplainable distant noise. You are certainly not alone. The house feels and follows your every move, daring you to question every detail.
