Step into the paws of Doctor Shiberson – a shiba inu cartographer with endless curiosity and no intention of believing in talking fish. Fish & Hike launches into Early Access on June 4, 2026, inviting players into the serene and mysterious Eight Lakes Valley

June 4th, Cracow, Poland. Available globally on Steam, Fish & Hike is a cozy adventure game in which players take on the role of Doctor Shiberson – a renowned shiba inu cartographer – arriving in the picturesque Eight Lakes Valley for a well-deserved holiday. What begins as a peaceful trip full of fishing, hiking, and sketching shorelines quickly reveals something far more extraordinary.

Get the game from Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/4143100/Fish__Hike/) for $6.99 with a 10% discount to celebrate the release.

With eight lakes, fifteen caves, four distinct biomes, charming animal NPCs, and a cartoonish art style that radiates warmth and humour, Fish & Hike is an Early Access adventure for players of all ages.

About Fish & Hike

Fish & Hike is a cozy adventure-fishing game set in the breathtaking Eight Lakes Valley. Players explore a world of four distinct biomes – from sunny lakeside meadows and forest trails to muddy swamps and subterranean caves – as Doctor Shiberson pieces together the mystery of a forgotten civilisation, catches legendary talking fish, and discovers that a peaceful holiday can sometimes become the expedition of a lifetime.

Fishing

Fishing sits at the heart of the game. Players will sail out and choose their fishing spots based on special highlights visible upon the surface of the water – and cast their lines. Each catch triggers a minigame: a circular active gauge must be managed carefully, with the challenge scaling on the fish’s strength and temperament. Rod power, reel speed, and line durability all affect the fishing experience, making gear upgrades feel impactful to the gameplay.

Different species of fish appear at different times of day and in different locations – dawn may favour one catch, while midnight favours another. Players will consult the in-game Fish Atlas to plan their trips. And occasionally, a legendary Golden Fish may rise from the depths – though not as a trophy, but as an NPC with quests and knowledge on hidden artifacts of the Valley.

Hiking

Part of the game also unfolds on land across four biomes:

• A lush lakeside meadow
• A muddy swamp, 
• A desert oasis
• A subterranean cave system

Each location is filled with its own creatures, ingredients, and secrets. Players will gather crafting materials, uncover hidden treasures, solve puzzles, and discover the history of the ancient Pueblo civilization.

Combat

Some biomes may be home to creatures itching for a fight, but still, Fish & Hike’s combat is a casual and playful experience, lacking graphic violence and remaining stress-free throughout the entire game. Players may choose from six weapons (from a simple Stick to the legendary Sword of Destiny), and face off against three enemy archetypes:

• Melee
• Ranged
• Flying

There are also stackable stat bonuses available to everyone via rings, crafted potions, and food from Perchville.

Crafting, Economy, and Perchville

Resources from fishing (including salvaged trash and rare dredged artifacts), hiking, and combat feed into a crafting system producing bait, potions, and equipment. A recycling machine converts junk into base materials. The Beaver’s shop in Perchville handles boat and rod upgrades; the Bear shopkeeper stocks food and recipes. Reputation – earned through quests, trophy catches, and cleaning up pollution – unlocks new NPC interactions and story content for the players to experience.

Environmental Mission

Clean water means more fish. Players will be able to fish out lake trash, clean litter on land, and process waste at the recycling machine for in-game rewards. Environmental stewardship directly builds Reputation in Perchville, unlocking new quests and storylines. The health of the valley is in the player’s hands.

Main Quest & Progression

The overarching goal is to catch four legendary Golden Fish – each a talking NPC who reveals the location of an ancient Pueblo artifact hidden somewhere in the valley. Placing these artifacts in the slots of the hilltop Temple of Obelisks restores it across four visible stages, ultimately summoning the Fish King – the true ruler of all the lakes – for a memorable endgame encounter.

Fish & Hike comes with an exciting set of features:

• Arcade fishing minigame with gear-dependent difficulty, time-of-day mechanics, and species-specific bait
• Four legendary Golden Fish NPCs who speak, give quests, and guide players to ancient hidden treasures
• 8 lakes, 15 caves, and 4 distinct biomes to explore across the Eight Lakes Valley
• Dual gameplay across water (fishing, boating, salvaging) and land (hiking, traversal, exploration)
• Casual PEGI 7 combat: 6 weapons, 3 enemy archetypes, and stackable stat bonuses
• Crafting system: bait, potions, and weapons from dozens of foraged and salvaged resources
• Eco mission: fish out lake trash and clean up the valley to improve the environment and boost reputation
• Perchville hub town that grows with the player’s reputation and quest completion
• Dynamic time-of-day system (Morning, Day, Evening, Night) affecting fish spawns and NPC schedules
• In-game Fish Atlas documenting the habits and lore of every species
• Unique 3D visual style with hand-drawn UI elements and warm, humorous tone
• Full main storyline available from Early Access launch – all biomes and fish accessible from day one

Early Access

Fish & Hike launches into Early Access on June 4, 2026, with the full main storyline and all four biomes playable from day one. The team plans to spend several months gathering player feedback and expanding the game, with a v1.0 release targeted for later in 2026.

Planned additions during Early Access include:

• Capybaras
• Expanded side activities and additional content
• Full character progression system and item statistics
• Racing levels
• Pollution system
• Shrines tied to collected artifacts

Player feedback gathered through Discord and the Steam forums will directly shape balance, content priorities, and the game’s final form.

About House Flipper Remastered Collection

House Flipper is back! Renovate houses, sell them, and make a profit, this time with upgraded graphics, reimagined characters, and long-awaited quality of life changes, with a whole collection of DLCs in House Flipper Remastered Collection. In the game, players start their journey as a House Flipper. Flipping is a tiresome and challenging work, but with their trusty tools, every player can bring the houses to their full potential!

Gameplay in House Flipper Remastered Collection hasn’t changed from the original. You are still responsible for renovating the old, filthy apartments or destroyed houses needing a second life. So grab your trusty tools and prepare to clean, paint, furnish, and much more before selling and making a profit from every house in the game.

House Flipper Remastered Collection bundles all previous expansions in one ultimate edition, making it the most complete version of the game. It doesn’t matter if you’re a new flipper or an old one returning for more. You’re in for a treat. In addition to the already known additions to the game, House Flipper Remastered Collection brings a whole new set of content. You can find fresh interactions, surprising character stories, and new decorating challenges that expand the game’s emotional and creative potential.

The visual upgrades go far beyond just resolution. Players immediately notice enhanced lighting, redesigned UI, and upgraded item textures, which make the whole flipping experience more polished and satisfying. Thanks to the technical improvements in this edition, every mop swipe, every freshly painted wall, and every item placed feels smoother and more rewarding.

What truly elevates this remaster beyond a visual upgrade is its attention to narrative detail. Carefully reworked missions come alive thanks to a full cast of voice actors and thoughtful character writing. Long-time flippers are glad to see familiar faces, while newcomers meet vibrant, fully fleshed-out characters with believable motivations and stories to tell. In this version, flipping houses often means uncovering something deeper behind the walls.

One of the standout additions of the Remastered Collection is the “Heart” content – a set of six heartwarming, story-rich jobs that dive into unexpected themes of affection, passion, and connection. Each scenario introduces its own narrative thread, cozy atmosphere, and a batch of brand-new decorative items – nearly 800 in total – to perfectly capture the vibe of every unique space.

Alongside the content, players can appreciate community-requested improvements such as the Naming system, the new Favorites tab on the tablet, and an enhanced Photomode with more flexibility. Dark Mode for the interface also makes longer sessions easier on the eyes. These changes streamline gameplay and allow more freedom and personalization than ever before.

House Flipper Remastered Collection is a celebration of everything players loved about the original – now upgraded, expanded, and more charming. With all expansions included, thoughtful additions, and a range of technical improvements, this is the ultimate experience for both long-time fans and newcomers ready to pick up the hammer and start flipping.

Independent, employee-owned studio unveils a chaotic multiplayer party game where schoolyard mischief, creative pranks, and absolute mayhem are all part of the curriculum

Baltimore, MD – June 4, 2026. Sackbird Studios today revealed its debut title, Hijinks High, a chaotic first-person multiplayer party game about causing chaos and turning a school upside down with your friends, is currently in development for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store and consoles. 

Announced alongside a brand-new reveal trailer, Hijinks High invites you and up to five friends to relive the glory days of schoolyard mischief as you sneak, scheme, prank, and cause as much mayhem as possible before the final bell rings.

Sackbird Studios was founded by former leads and key contributors from The Elder Scrolls Online development team. When the ambitious AAA project Blackbird was cancelledand hundreds of people lost their jobs, a handful of them decided to bet on each other and build a studio of their own. Independent, employee-owned, and self-funded, Sackbird exists for one reason: the freedom to make the games they want, on their own terms.

“My job is to make sure this team gets to keep making exactly what they want to make,” said Adam Hafez, CEO of Sackbird Studios. “Hijinks High has the kind of personality you only get from people making something purely because they love it. This is just the beginning, and we’re in it for the long haul.”

Hijinks High plays out over a single school day, but don’t expect a normal schedule. Every period is its own kind of organized chaos, and behaving is never on the lesson plan.

The whole school is your playground, and nothing in it is safe from you. It’s you and your friends against the school, out to cause as much chaos as possible. Grab it, place it, hurl it. Lockers, dodgeballs, jetpacks. If it isn’t nailed down, it’s part of your arsenal. And that’s before your own bodily functions join the fun! You’re all on the same side, technically, which is exactly what makes turning on each other so tempting. The only rule that matters is the one you’re breaking: cause maximum chaos, and don’t let the teachers catch you doing it.

Of course, staying conscious is its own event. Crush pizza, slam sodas, chug milk, and inhale every questionable snack you can find to stack up buffs and keep your energy from bottoming out. But your body keeps the receipts. Overdo it and you’re fighting a screaming bladder, rolling nausea, and a very real chance of passing out cold before the day’s even half over.

Then the bell rings, and there’s only one way out: the bus. Grab your friends, make a run for it, and try to get home in one piece.

Key Features

• Online Multiplayer Mayhem – Grab up to five friends and transform an ordinary school day into a playground of chaos.
• The School Is Your Sandbox – Explore a fully interactive school packed with objects, gadgets, and opportunities for mischief around every corner.
• Fuel Your Shenanigans – Eat, drink, and power up with a range of food and beverages that provide gameplay buffs while introducing unpredictable side effects.
• Survive the Day – Manage your energy, stomach, bladder, and overall wellbeing as you attempt to make it to the final bell in one piece.
• Pranks, Props, and Pandemonium – Pick up, throw, move, and experiment with countless objects throughout the school. From lockers and lunch trays to dodgeballs and jetpacks, every prop has the potential to create unforgettable chaos. 
• Endless Emergent Chaos – Combine physics, player creativity, and environmental interactions to ensure every match tells its own story.

School is in session, but learning is the last thing on the agenda. Wishlist Hijinks High today and prepare to unleash absolute chaos when Sackbird Studios’ debut title arrives on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Lesquin, June 4, 2026 – NACON and Cyanide Studio are pleased to announce that Tour de France 2026 is now available on PC, PlayStation 5™ and Xbox Series X|S! This year’s edition introduces new features and several gameplay improvements to deliver the most immersive cycling experience. 

Watch the Tour de France 2026 Launch Trailer

As the official game of the most prestigious cycling competition, Tour de France 2026 faithfully recreates all 21 stages of this year’s race. Iconic locations such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the starting city of the 2026 edition, and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris have been accurately reproduced in-game. Take control of legendary riders such as Tadej Pogačar and compete for the iconic Yellow Jersey or create your own rider and build a cycling career from the ground up.

One of the major additions in Tour de France 2026 is the introduction of a dynamic weather conditions system. Rain can now make roads slippery and directly affect gameplay. Every corner and descent becomes more challenging, requiring players to carefully adjust their racing lines and braking distances to avoid crashes that could cost them victory. Riders with higher agility ratings (from D to A+) are better prepared to stay upright in difficult conditions and avoid a fall.

Tour de France 2026 brings additional new features such as the addition of the Paris-Tours and Muscat Classic races, official National Champion jerseys, and a redesigned user interface that enhances realism and immersion. 

Tour de France 2026 is available now on PS5^TM, Xbox Series X|S and PC

Season 3 also features Personas for Kane and Rey Mysterio, Asuka, Solo Sikoa, and others, the return of NBA star Tyrese Haliburton, new creation parts, movesets, MyFACTION content, World Taunts, and more!

Ringside Pass Season 3* content is here in WWE® 2K26! The latest Ringside Report just dropped, detailing the sizzling summer content available starting today.

On the Premium Track*:

• Ringside Pass Season 3 introduces some new and returning faces to the franchise, as Matt Cardona and Brian Pillman make their returns, while La Parka and Torrie Wilson make their very first appearances on a WWE 2K roster, bringing a combined 36 new moves and taunts with them;
  • As established in Season 2, all new Ringside Pass Premium Track DLC characters are unlocked and available to claim immediately in Tier 1;
• Several new Personas are introduced, including Kane ‘01 and Rey Mysterio ‘01, plus new creation parts and moves for character customisation, RXP boosts, Island VC, MyFACTION tokens, and more.

A former Intercontinental, United States, and two-time WWE/Raw Tag Team Champion, Matt Cardona last appeared in the WWE 2K franchise in WWE 2K20, under his Zack Ryder persona. Making his WWE debut in 2007, Cardona never waited for success to find him. Developing the Zack Ryder character – a spiky-haired, fist-pumping YouTube sensation – Cardona quickly won the affection of legions of fans and propelled himself to championship status. After stepping away from WWE in 2020, Cardona made his WWE return in early 2026, including an appearance in the Royal Rumble, just in time to cement his place on the WWE 2K26 roster via the Ringside Pass.

One of the most beloved characters in the history of Mexican lucha libre and AAA, La Parka is unmistakable with his signature skeleton-themed costume, high-flying maneuvers, and flamboyant antics, including dancing down the entrance ramp toward the ring. While the latest incarnation of the La Parka character became an instant star in AAA, and even made a surprise appearance in the 2026 Royal Rumble Match, La Parka has long been beloved by WWE fans. In the late 1990s, La Parka was known as the “Chairman of WCW,” playing air guitar on a steel chair, which he carried to the ring and often used in matches, to the detriment of his unfortunate opponents. 

Long before she was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2019, Torrie Wilson’s athleticism, glamour, and beauty won the admiration of fans around the world. A former fitness model, Wilson first stepped foot into a WCW ring in 1999, working with the likes of Alundra Blayze/Madusa, Scott Steiner, and Eddie Guerrero. Joining WWE from 2001 until her retirement from sports entertainment in 2008, Wilson crossed paths with Stacy Keibler, Victoria, Kelly Kelly, Trish Stratus, and many more. In 2018, she returned to the ring to take part in the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match, and later that year was a featured competitor at WWE Evolution, the first-ever all-women’s premium live event, in a Battle Royal for a future championship opportunity.

Brian Pillman’s “Loose Cannon” personality, combined with his awe-inspiring aerial moves, truly set him apart as a Superstar ahead of his time. A former college and pro American football standout, Pillman studied professional wrestling under the revered Hart family. Joining WCW in 1989, Pillman’s airborne offence earned him the nickname “Flyin’” Brian, and his partnership with “Stunning” Steve Austin in the Hollywood Blonds tag team led to WCW Tag team Championship gold before Austin turned on him. Pillman continued to evolve, adopting the “Loose Cannon” persona that would follow him for the remainder of his wrestling career. Unpredictable, intense, and blurring the lines between fact and fiction, the “Loose Cannon” raised hell in WCW and ECW before making his way to WWE. There, he rekindled his feud with former partner Steve Austin, now fully evolved into his “Stone Cold” persona, which helped usher in the Attitude Era, and later joined the legendary Hart Foundation stable. Today, Pillman is remembered as one of the most exciting, unpredictable, and groundbreaking personalities to ever step into a WWE ring.

Two unique new Personas available in the Ringside Pass Season 3 Premium Track hearken back to the Monday Night War: Kane ‘01, complete with a sleeveless, flame-embellished tank top, and Rey Mysterio ‘01, sporting denim overalls and a mask to match his WCW SuperBrawl Revenge appearance, looking like they stepped right out of 2001. Throughout the Premium Track of the Ringside Pass, players will also find new Create-A-Superstar parts and moves, including new cosmetic items from brands Chalkline and Homage with a WCW/nWo theme, MyFACTION currency and content, World Taunts and currency for The Island, and more.

On the Free Track:

• Personas highlighting historical looks for Superstars, including “Mutiny Faction” Asuka – inspired by the MyRISE storyline from WWE 2K25 – Solo Sikoa ‘22, and Brock Lesnar ‘03, plus NBA star and WWE superfan Tyrese Haliburton, will be available for all players to earn and unlock.

Four editions of WWE 2K26 are available now, including Standard Edition, King of Kings Edition, Attitude Era Edition, and Monday Night War Edition. Ringside Pass Premium Season 3 is included in the Attitude Era Edition and Monday Night War Edition, as part of the Season Pass, and is also available for individual purchase.
