This is not a code-in-a-box situation; these are true physical games. Feel free to click the links and place your pre-orders while supplies last.

It will be available through the Strictly Limited Store, the Atari Store, as well as select retail partners and online marketplaces worldwide.
Ok guys, I just don’t see it. I’ve seen this trailer a few times and I’ve read the comments about how this looks so much like the games and is paying homage to the games and there is Easter eggs to the games all over but I just don’t see it. The movie looks fine. Knowing Cregger’s previous works (oh boy I got a lot to say about them), I can say it’ll be competently done but I feel like this is basically just his take on a RE story. And that checks out from all the interviews and posts I’ve seen regarding the story and characters. I also know it’ll be weird and off putting but literally nothing I’ve seen or heard says “Resident Evil” to me. I’m cautious as hell given it’s the 4th major attempt at a live action adaptation. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Team up with up to four friends as you control extremely flammable wooden vessels, breaking into underground ruins to salvage loot for your Outpost base. Be wary of monsters, your friends griefing you, and going too deep and discovering the Rot as you try to make it back in one piece and survive the next run.
Each time your vessel catches fire or gets smashed to pieces, your Living Spark will need to find and possess a new one, allowing you to keep riding the cursed elevator deeper in the search for loot. Furniture can be smashed to splinters as you use the debris for resources or feed it to the Grinder for gold.
Create your own chaos by sending your pal’s Spark out of their vessel or simply leave them to fend for themselves against a horde of monsters. Who needs enemies when you have friends like these? Troll wisely, though: if everyone breaks then your loot is lost forever.
Grain Rot will be released on PC via Steam on August 7, 2026.
Tempest Rising, the acclaimed best-selling real-time strategy game from Saber Interactive’s 3D Realms publishing label, Knights Peak, and developer Slipgate Ironworks, has released a new demo today on Steam for TactiCon featuring the first two missions from the new full-fledged single-player campaign for the game’s upcoming third playable faction: the Veti. Experience the next chapter in Tempest Rising‘s ongoing story in command of a unique force designed around subjugating and sacrificing its fallen enemies to power its conquest.
With Tempest Rising‘s new TactiCon demo, players can experience the first two missions from the enigmatic Veti’s upcoming story campaign, as well as the first two missions from the previous Global Defense Force and Tempest Dynasty campaigns. Players can also get a taste of the Veti faction on the battlefield in skirmish mode and custom multiplayer games.
The complete Veti faction, including a dedicated 11-mission single-player campaign and full integration in multiplayer, skirmish mode and custom games, will arrive later this year in “The Veti’s Wrath” expansion. Players will be able to experience the final chapter of the Tempest Rising saga, as the ancient and brutal Veti battle to reunite their technologically superior forces, turn the tide against humanity, and reclaim their place in a world they once ruled.
Nominated for Best Sim/Strategy title at The Game Awards, Tempest Rising transports you to a battle-scarred 1997 in an alternate timeline where the Cuban Missile Crisis went nuclear. From epic single-player campaigns to ranked multiplayer and skirmish mode, you’ll experience fast, hard-hitting gameplay with classic RTS base building and unique asymmetrical factions. Take command of the battlefield, lead your armies in all-out warfare, and execute bold strategies to emerge victorious.

Publisher 4Divinity and developer Eschatology Entertainment have today announced Guns of Eschaton, a mystical Western first-person shooter fused with a Souls-like challenge and the final original universe envisioned by the late Viktor Antonov, the art director behind some of the most memorable worlds in videogames including Half Life 2 and Dishonored.
Set in nineteenth-century America, Guns of Eschaton draws upon iconic historical figures and mythic archetypes of the Old West, reimagined within a fantastical apocalyptic world, where every enemy encounter means risking death.
Guns of Eschaton sends players on a journey from the West to the East Coast through a dying America. In this apocalyptic world, every enemy encounter becomes a test of preparation, resource management, and survival.
Players will learn to tackle enemy encounters through the use of specialised ammunition, well-timed parries, precise dashes, and the Codex, which reveals enemy weaknesses through its Sequence Points system. Together, these core mechanics form the foundation of the game’s strategic combat. Just remember: Every. Shot. Counts.
“We are incredibly honoured to be revealing Guns of Eschaton, the final project shaped by the extraordinary vision of Viktor Antonov,” shares Fuad Kuliev, Studio Head at Eschatology Entertainment. “From the earliest stages of development, I had the privilege of shaping this world together with Viktor: where ideas, themes, and concepts evolved through his talent into the world players will see today. Viktor’s imagination and creative legacy have been a constant source of inspiration throughout development, and this game is the result of an incredible collaborative effort from our entire team to bring that vision to life. We are proud to share it with players around the world in partnership with our publisher, 4Divinity.”
Key Features
Every bullet counts: Face off in deliberate, high-stakes gunfights where preparation matters as much as aim. Study enemies through the Codex to uncover weaknesses, execute calculated parries, and wield mystic abilities granted to you by the occult.
Build your legendary gunslinger: Customize your playstyle with deep character progression and flexible buildcrafting. Experiment with a vast arsenal of firearms, ammunition types, occult powers, talismans, armor, and consumables. Combine active and passive abilities, find powerful synergies, and learn deadly tricks from legendary gunslingers.
Explore an occult apocalyptic west: Roam the Apocalyptic West like never before. Created by the legendary Viktor Antonov, the world blends 19th-century frontier Americana with occult horror.
Ride alone or together: Experience this unforgiving world alone or alongside allies, with full solo and co-op progression allowing players to tackle every challenge however they wish.

The Apocalypse is here and it’s being televised. Carl just broke up with his girlfriend Beatrice while she was on vacation. Bummed, still babysitting her apartment and her fluffy show cat, Princess Donut, Carl is in a bad spot. When Donut attempts to runaway in the middle of the night, Carl runs into the night in just his jacket and boxers. All hell breaks loose. Millions dead instantly, leaving the baffled survivors with an announcement: they’re now contestants in a intergalactic game show. Thrown into the Dungeon, now dubbed Crawlers, the survivors most traverse hellscapses full of monsters, looting for gear, and facing bosses before the level collapses. 18 floors, each harder than the rest. And Carl’s only companion is Princess Donut…
The hype around this book was pretty nuts. Every author tuber I follow has this book somewhere on their bookshelves, I’ve seen it posted all over Instagram and Tiktok, and recently it was greenlit for a series on Peacock. I went inn totally blind, weary of literary Blockbusters. This is one of the rare times I think it was warranted.
Dungeon Crawler Carl is a really fun book with great characters, humor, heart, lore and some really cool action. As a gamer, I enjoyed the gaming tropes and found the setup really relatable. Carl and Doughout are great characters that play well off each other, though Doughnut does steal the show more than not. Matt Dinnaman’s writing is down to earth and easygoing, making for a smooth read. My only real complaint is I feel like the book doesn’t come to a real climax. It just ends. No main antagonist per say. There’s alot of threads to be followed up on and their are plenty more books so I’m not too mad. In the end, I loved this book and I highly recommend checking on it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Following its “Very Positive” reception on Steam and coverage from horror creators including Residence of Evil, SplatterCatGaming, Hollow, Elajjaz, and LaynaLazar, Flesh Made Fear now invites PlayStation 5 players to experience its grim tribute to the golden age of survival horror. The PS5 version also includes Japanese language support.
Inspired by classic Resident Evil games, Flesh Made Fear captures the dread of tight corridors, dangerous encounters, locked doors, strange puzzles, and the constant fear of wasting your last bullet. But beneath its retro foundations lies a modern horror story filled with grotesque experiments, occult rituals, and a town pushed beyond the edge of sanity.
Players take on the role of an operative from the Reaper Intervention Platoon, or R.I.P., dispatched to hunt down Victor “The Dripper” Ripper – a former CIA agent whose work has created monsters, thralls, and unspeakable horrors.
Choose between two playable characters, each with different stats and storylines, and survive through tense combat, limited saves, inventory management, and cinematic encounters designed to keep players vulnerable from start to finish.
For fans of classic survival horror, Flesh Made Fear delivers tank controls, fixed and dynamic cameras, puzzle-driven exploration, scarce resources, and a thick PSX-era atmosphere – now on PlayStation 5.
Today PixelCount Studios has announced that its acclaimed PC life sim sandbox RPG, Kynseed, will launch for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on 4 August.

The Tavern: Serve food and drinks, hire staff and acquire useful perks to create a social hub where all NPCs come together.

Quality of life updates: General improvements to NPCs, new batch crafting, an instant messaging system for task/event alerts and much more.
Kynseed’s new content will be available for console players at launch, alongside a newly-optimised console UI and controls. A full list of updates can be found here.
Kynseed Features:
A generation-spanning story. Embark upon an epic adventure filled with joy, sorrow, comedy, and tragedy, where choices matter and decisions echo through the generations.
Run a business. Forge tools as a blacksmith, run a store, mix potions as an apothecary, or find other ways to build a fortune.
A world of exploration. The land of Quill is filled with characters, secrets, danger, and dark faery tale creatures to battle.
Farm the land. Grow ingredients for food and potions, work the soil, and set up home for your family.
Develop Relationships. Quill is full of colourful NPCs who will remember your deeds, actions, and pranks.
Find proverbs. Unlock the lore and secrets of this mysterious dark faery tale world.
Gather materials. Forage and farm to craft items, cook recipes or mix cures for a range of bizarre maladies.
“Bringing Kynseed to consoles is a milestone we’ve been working toward for a long time,” said PixelCount Co-Founder Neal Whitehead. “The PC community has been incredible and their feedback has helped us make the land of Quill even richer and more vast than it was at launch just over two years ago. We know that many players want to experience the land of Quill on consoles, and we’ve spent a long time ensuring the console experience feels natural, intuitive and complete.”
Sir Ian Livingstone, games industry legend and Chairman of PixelCount Studios, added: “The ambition of Kynseed has always been to offer players a level of freedom and legacy-building rarely seen in sandbox RPGs. From deep crafting to exploration to mastering the combat system to farming to running a blacksmith shop, or simply watching your family grow, Kynseed has it all in a wonderfully whimsical way! We are delighted that PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch players will finally get to plant their own family trees on 4th August.”
Kynseed will launch for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on 4 August and is available to pre-order now for £19.99/$24.99/€24.99.
