MY.GAMES announces that War Robots, the hit tactical PvP shooter developed by Pixonic, is embracing a retro alien invasion in its new Update 12.5, launching on October 27, 2026. Presented by the in-universe “Evolife Broadcasting Systems,” the “Halloween Interlopers” event brings the eerie atmosphere of Herbert George Wells’ classic novel The War of the Worlds directly to the battlefield, complete with alien tripods, gravity-defying Orbital Support, and an upgrade of a beloved classic trickster robot.
Alongside a dynamic map hazards on Ground Zero, Update 12.5 introduces a terrifying new flight-capable raider, BLAST-stacking beam weapons, and Ultimate build:
Update 12.5 Key Content:
New Tripedal Robot (Nekton). Inspired by retro Martian invaders, this three-legged terror takes to the skies while deploying an extended Absorber shield. As it hovers, Nekton fires a heavy built-in beam that inflicts BLAST status. Enemies shooting its purple shield only extend its duration, though pilots can cancel flight early to gain a significant cooldown refund.
Mesmer Energy Weaponry. Laser guns that stack the BLAST effect. Each additional Mesmer weapon equipped on a robot amplifies the total damage dealt by the single beam that weapons generate.
New Tactical Drone (Object). Specially engineered to support flying and Absorber-shielded robots, reaching maximum efficiency when paired alongside Nekton.
New Mothership (Roswell). Turns the Gravity Lift mechanic on its head. Instead of enemy targets, Roswell pulls your robot into the air for superior high-ground visibility while granting defensive protection and a damage boost.
Ultimate Loki & Ultimate Gust. Stealthy trickster returns to dominate beacon games. Destroying an enemy automatically triggers Invisibility, keeping Loki untargetable in-between kills. It is helmed by the new pilot Darian Grief and paired with the upgraded Ultimate Gust shotguns.
New Pilot Roster. Meet The Martian (supercharges Nekton and Mesmer lasers) and combat journalist Orson Barret (designed for Ultimate Rhino, granting toxic weapon boosts and the ability to cleanse DoT stacks).
Ground Zero Tactical Shift. Alien interference destabilizes Ground Zero’s central security sector, creating a high-stakes zone where controlling the central point grants powerful active combat buffs.
Play War Robots on iOS, Android, APK, PlayStation, Xbox, Steam.
UK marketing agency RUNE is transitioning to operating exclusively as an indie publisher
London, United Kingdom, October 27 2026: Runic Forge, publisher of the cozy incremental citybuilder Hearth and Hamlet, has officially rebranded as Pythia Games as it moves to accelerate its work as a publisher.
Pythia Games is the new publishing label for RUNE, a data-driven indie marketing agency based in the UK that is now moving to work exclusively as a publisher. The team has years of experience running successful marketing and crowdfunding campaigns, and Hearth and Hamlet, released in August 2026, was the company’s first major release as a publisher.
Following the successful launch of Hearth and Hamlet – which sold 100,000 units in its first week – RUNE is ramping up its publishing efforts and has launched Pythia Games as an indie publisher in its own right..

Featuring Minard’s distinctive art style, Carnholt challenges players to harness the corpses of the dead to achieve victory. Craft a deck of wild creatures and powerful spells, fight in tactical battles, and slay a God that refused death.
Also included in the publisher’s first wave of new titles isthe idle dungeon-crawler RPG Dragon’s Tear, from developer LilChill Games. Inspired by classic JRPGs, Dragon’s Tear sees players assembling a party of heroes to fight their way down 100 hand-crafted floors in search of the legendary Dragon’s Tear, said to grant any wish.
More details about Pythia Games and its upcoming titles are available via their website.
Pythia Games is actively seeking new partnerships with indie developers, aiming to bring exciting new games to market through its data-driven marketing approach.
“After years of experience in agency work, everyone here at Pythia Games is delighted to be starting this new chapter as a publisher,” said Aidan McGrath, founder and marketing director at Pythia Games. “The team is united by a shared passion for discovering and elevating new and innovative indie games, and for supporting small teams and solo developers alike.
“We were blown away by the response to our first title, Hearth and Hamlet, and look forward to utilising our expertise to replicate that success for indie developers for years to come.”
Hearth and Hamlet, Pythia Games’ debut game as a publisher, is a cozy incremental citybuilder that invites players to oversee their massive fantasy kingdom, trade with other settlements and set policies to keep everything humming and efficient whilst they lead their society into expansion and prosperity. The game proved an immediate success among fans – selling nearly 50,000 units in the first 24 hours, and amassing over 1,800 reviews on Steam.

First anniversary update introduces smarter Mimesis behavior, a new Paranoia system, a film studio map, new monsters and more
EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. – October 27, 2026 – KRAFTON, Inc. and ReLU Games today released Off the Rails, the second major update for MIMESIS, the four-player co-op horror game from KRAFTON creative studio ReLU Games. Arriving as MIMESIS marks one year in Early Access, the update expands the game’s AI-driven social deception with a new Paranoia system, enhanced Mimesis behavior, a new film studio map, additional monsters and equipment, and anniversary events.
MIMESIS is an AI-native co-op horror game where players must work together to survive while trying to identify an AI-controlled entity hiding among them. Known as the Mimesis, the creature mimics players’ appearances, movements, behavior and voices in real time, secretly blending in with teammates and creating tension and distrust as players try to determine who can be trusted.
New Paranoia System Makes Players Question What Is Real
The new Paranoia system adds another layer of uncertainty by changing what individual players see and hear based on their contamination level. As contamination increases, one player may see a Mimesis that is completely invisible to their teammates or hear voices that no one else can hear.
By giving players different perceptions of the same situation, the system is designed to make communication and trust even more important as teams attempt to separate real threats from hallucinations.
The Mimesis itself has also been upgraded to better observe player habits and react to its surroundings. The enhanced AI allows it to imitate player behavior more naturally, creating more convincing deception and less predictable encounters as teammates work together to identify the impostor among them.
Explore a New Film Studio Map
Off the Rails also introduces a new map set inside a film studio. Unlike existing locations, the map creates a more seamless environment without the usual separation between indoor and outdoor areas, beginning with a crash-landing sequence that sends the team’s tram somewhere it was never supposed to go.
The update expands the game further with new monsters, Scrap, Service Stations and equipment. New gear can increase inventory capacity or help players communicate with teammates, while new traps create additional strategic options. The game’s user interface has also been overhauled to improve usability.
Celebrating One Year in Early Access
To mark MIMESIS’ first year in Early Access, players can generate a personalized Survival Report based on their gameplay history and receive a commemorative anniversary skin.
MIMESIS is also participating in Steam’s Scream V Halloween event with a 60% discount from October 27 through November 3, its largest discount since launch. Pre-orders for new MIMESIS merchandise also open October 27 through EBTEN.
The anniversary follows a year of milestones for MIMESIS. The game surpassed two million copies sold worldwide in June and became the first Korean game to receive an Excellence Award in the Game Design category at the CEDEC Awards 2026, recognizing the creativity and technical execution behind its AI-driven gameplay design. MIMESIS also continues to hold a “Very Positive” user rating on Steam.

About MIMESIS MIMESIS is a four-player co-op horror game in which players must face an AI-driven NPC monster, “Mimesis,” that behaves like a human player. Set in a world transformed by a mysterious rain that turns humans into “Mimesis” beings capable of replicating other people’s voices and actions, the game places players in an extreme situation where they must cooperate with teammates while never being able to fully trust one another. The game unfolds around a tram, and players must gather resources and work together to keep it running. At the same time, the constant possibility that one of their teammates may be revealed as a Mimesis shapes the experience throughout. Drawing on feedback accumulated through two rounds of testing and demos, ReLU Games has implemented a more refined AI-powered monster, “Mimesis,” in the Early Access version. Players can experience deep immersion through the subtle tension created by the intersection of cooperation and suspicion. MIMESIS launched in Early Access on Steam on October 27, 2025, and has surpassed two million copies sold worldwide.

Since then, Tripwire Interactive has expanded its business with the publishing division, Tripwire Presents, turning its experience and resources to include publishing titles spanning multiple platforms and genres from other talented independent studios. Tripwire Presents aims to help like-minded independent studios bring their titles to market, including Chivalry 2 developed by Torn Banner Studios, Espire 1: VR Operative and Espire 2 developed by Digital Lode, DECEIVE INC. developed by Sweet Bandits Studios, Road Redemption developed by EQ Games and Pixel Dash Studios, Rogue Waters developed by Ice Code Games, The Stone of Madness developed by The Game Kitchen and NORSE: Oath of Blood, developed by Arctic Hazard. Most recently, Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire developed by BEF Games and Starforged Legacy from Second Shift Games have been added to the publishing lineup. Tripwire Presents continues to grow their portfolio, and are always on the lookout for the next great team and game. Tripwire Interactive is a standalone entity within the Embracer Group.
