Escape a prison planet at 40% off as part of Steam Daily Deal

31, Oct. 2026 – KIBORG, the fast-paced action rogue-lite with brutal, cybernetic-enhanced combat from developer Sobaka Studio, gets its Body Split update today, adding a female protagonist and visual updates on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Get the game for a steal on PC with a 40% discount as part of a Steam Daily Deal, along with GOG and the Epic Games Store.

Take on a whole new look with a female variation on Morgan Lee, the hard-hitting protagonist seeking to make their escape from a prison planet by winning the galaxy’s most brutal game show, The Last Ticket. Redefine girl power as Morgan wields giant axes, annihilating shotguns, and cybernetically enhanced abilities to make her bloody escape.

New visual effects show the confines of Sigma with greater fidelity than ever before – both in the ascent up the Omega-201 tower and in the DLC Descent’s dangerous depths – growing grimier and dirtier with each completed difficulty level. Soon, the only thing uglier than the prison will be jailer Volkov’s face.

This free update represents the latest addition from KIBORG’s extensive post-launch support, as Sobaka Studio have added new content like August’s Showstopper update with new weapons, augmentations, and Arena levels. Past updates include significant rebalancing, split-screen co-op, and the Descent DLC extending KIBORG with three new biomes.

“Well before we launched KIBORG, we got a lot of requests to play as a woman, and we gave Morgan Lee a gender neutral name on purpose in case we could ever do it,” said Dmitry Kachkov, Head of Sobaka Studio. “Thanks to our fans buying significantly more than 100,000 copies, we finally were able to make this a reality!”

The KIBORG: Body Split update is available for free starting today at 10 am PDT on PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One, and PC via Steam, with a 40% discount on KIBORG on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store ($14.99 discounted price, $24.99 regular price). KIBORG supports English, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, German, Korean, French, Spanish – Spain, Traditional Chinese, Polish, Portuguese – Brazil, and Turkish language text with English and Russian language voice acting.

Lazy Marmot Games brings the legendary board game to PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam, with a release planned for Q1 2027

Vienna, Austria. – October 29, 2026 – Lazy Marmot Games is thrilled to announce Sekigahara, an official digital adaptation of Sekigahara: The Unification of Japan, the celebrated 2-player historical block wargame designed by Matt Calkins and published by GMT Games.

Originally praised for its elegant rules, accessible mechanics, and deep historical tension, Sekigahara challenges players to take command of one of two major factions vying for control of a fractured 16th-century Japan. Its signature loyalty system mirrors the shifting allegiances that characterized the historical campaign, requiring matching clan cards to deploy troops and introducing dramatic betrayal mechanics via loyalty challenge cards. By eliminating dice and hiding block identities, the game replaces random chance with tactical uncertainty, rewarding strategic positioning, meticulous planning, and skillful bluffing.

The digital adaptation faithfully preserves the core tension and card-driven gameplay of the original game while introducing modern digital enhancements designed to streamline the experience and boost replayability. These include, among others:

• Scenario editor: allows players to create and share their own scenarios, from minor setup modifications to constructing mid/late-game scenarios and ahistorical what-if situations.
• Configurable AI: features a unique AI personality system that allows players to fine-tune opponent playstyles – including settings for aggressiveness, risk tolerance, resource control valuation, preferred stack sizes and others. This creates greater variety in AI matches and gives players a way to test their skills against different strategies and opponent styles.
• Game variants: options to tailor rules and setup to player preferences.
• Replay mode: helps to analyse completed games by providing quick turn summaries and showing all movements and combats at a glance.
• Quality-of-Life features: movement planning tools and combat impact hints to aid both newcomers and veterans.

“Our goal was to capture the brilliant strategic depth that made Sekigahara a tabletop classic while making it even more accessible and fun to play”, said Przemek Szalaj, Founder and Lead Developer at Lazy Marmot Games. “We’ve put a lot of thought into improving user experience and replayability, as well as into building strong and customizable AI.”

Sekigahara is slated for release on PC, Mac, and Linux in Q1 2027 on Steam. It will feature single player and cross-platform online multiplayer modes.

The first episode will premiere on December 5, with Alok joining the anime’s production team for a panel before taking the stage for a live performance

Singapore, October 30 2026 – Garena is bringing Free Fire: Daybreak to CCXP26 in São Paulo, Brazil, where the anime’s first episode will make its world premiere on December 5. The special screening will give audiences their first look at the anime ahead of its global release in Spring 2027, followed by a Free Fire: Daybreak panel featuring members of the anime’s production team and DJ and producer Alok.

From December 3 to 6, visitors can also experience the worlds of Free Fire and Daybreak through activities at the Free Fire booth, with more to be revealed closer to the event.

Free Fire enters a new chapter with Daybreak

Free Fire: Daybreak marks a new expansion of Garena Free Fire into anime. Produced by Garena in partnership with KADOKAWA CORPORATION and animated by studio Candy Box, the series brings familiar Free Fire characters into a new original story.

Directed by Ken Takahashi, with scripts by Hotaru Asafuji and music by Koji Fujimoto, Free Fire: Daybreak follows Kelly, Hayato, and Moco in the futuristic city of New Dawn, controlled by the Horizon Corporation. There, Kelly finds herself drawn into a conspiracy and discovers a newfound superpower.

At CCXP26, members of the production team will share more about the making of Free Fire: Daybreak. Alok, who has been a character in Free Fire since 2019 and remains one of the game’s most popular characters, will also join the panel to discuss his special appearance in the first episode and his contribution to the series’ music. Following the panel, Alok will take the stage for a live performance.

“Premiering Free Fire: Daybreak at CCXP ahead of its global release would already be a remarkable experience on its own. Doing it with Alok, who besides being a part of the game has contributed to the anime’s soundtrack and will perform at the festival on the same day, takes this convergence of games, anime, and music even further. This is exactly the kind of experience we want to give CCXP audiences,” says Thiago Romariz, Director of Products at CCXP.

CCXP26 will take place from December 3 to 6, at São Paulo Expo (Rod. dos Imigrantes, KM 1.5 – São Paulo, SP). Fans can visit the official CCXP26 website for more information on the event and how to attend.

Free Fire can be downloaded on both the App Store and Google Play.

Last year, developer Francis Coulombe and publisher Devolver Digital’s acclaimed survival horror RPG Look Outside launched on PC and invited players into a seriously warped apartment complex filled with unspeakable cosmic horrors. Now this unique horror experience – which critics have described as “one of the scariest games I’ve ever played”, “disturbing, grotesque, and uncomfortably wonderful”, and “an unforgettable journey into the unknown” – is available on consoles.

Rated Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam, Look Outside is a horror RPG set in a single apartment building. Explore to seek food, supplies, and weapons while encountering strange NPCs and fighting monsters that were once your neighbors. 

Return to your apartment with gathered resources and partial answers to your questions to recuperate by playing games, making dinner, crafting tools, and getting to know what few allies you’re able to find and get on your side in this cursed place.

Look Outside is available now on PlayStation 4/5 and Nintendo Switch 1/2 priced €9.99. But whatever you do, don’t look outside.

Take command of 150+ historic tanks in a free-to-play MMO where skill beats firepower

Munich, Germany – October 30th, 2026 – Independent developer Armative Studios today announced that Steel Aces, the free-to-play tank MMO focused on skill-based, historically authentic armoured warfare, has launched on its own proprietary platform, with the Steam version arriving early next week. Featuring realistic ballistics, component-based damage and tactical, line-of-sight combat, Steel Aces challenges players to master their vehicles and outmaneuver their opponents on the battlefield.

Following feedback from September’s Open Play Weekend, Steel Aces is entering Early Access with major improvements to its UI, vehicle handling, core physics and overall player experience. Reworked tracked vehicle traction, steering mechanics and engine simulation make tank handling more stable and responsive, while UI improvements provide clearer ammunition and loadout selection alongside a more readable in-game HUD. The team has also refined the vision system, gun dispersion, aiming statistics and vehicle progression paths, delivering a more polished, accessible and balanced tank warfare experience.

“We’re incredibly excited to finally put Steel Aces in the hands of players and welcome everyone to the battlefield,” said Michael Schmotz, CEO at Armative Studios. “This is a major milestone for our team, and we can’t wait for players to experience what we’ve been building and put their strategic skills to the test. We’ve poured a huge amount of passion and hard work into Steel Aces, and this launch marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as we continue developing the game alongside our players and shaping its future together.”

About Steel Aces

Steel Aces is a free-to-play tank MMO where success is based on skill, not spending. Focused exclusively on tank-on-tank combat, battles are decided by tactics, positioning and player ability, with no player-controlled artillery or aircraft. There is no premium ammunition, pay-to-win mechanics or unfair RNG. Instead, genuine ballistics simulation and component-based damage mean that shot placement matters, rewarding players who understand their vehicles and know where to strike their opponents.

Spanning more than 100 years of armoured warfare, Steel Aces features over 150 historically authentic vehicles, from the Interwar Period and World War II through to the early Cold War. Developed in collaboration with military museums and partners with hands-on tank experience, the game combines historical authenticity with realistic line-of-sight combat. Players can progress through the ranks and unlock new vehicles, putting their knowledge, positioning and tactical skills to the test on the battlefield.

About Armative Studios
Steel Aces is proudly developed in Germany by a team of just three developers with a background in engineering, automotive and games. This gives a new perspective on a long-established franchise with a commitment to authenticity, technical excellence, and innovative gameplay. We are committed to “the tank game that never was”, with fair gameplay and monetisation aimed at long-term sustainability rather than short-term profits and gambling mechanics.

The FOREST OF FEAR / TAPES OF TRAGEDY scenario introduces MAKOTO, an overachiever member of the school AV club who decides to film a documentary about the forest’s oldest legend.
