OLD SCHOOL RUNESCAPE MAKES A DEMONIC PACT WITH PLAYERS AND LAUNCHES LEAGUES VI TODAY

The return of the retro MMORPG’s most popular limited-time game mode begins today, enthralling players past and present to take part in the faster-paced game mode featuring new mechanics and refreshed progression.

Wednesday, 15th April 2026, Cambridge, UK – Jagex: The RuneScape Company has today unleashed Leagues VI, which runs for the next eight weeks. Entitled ‘Demonic Pacts’, the popular limited time game mode returns after two years to Old School RuneScape.

Hosted on separate worlds to the main game, and where everybody begins with a brand-new character, Leagues VI is a faster-paced mode of Old School RuneScape, with boosted XP rates, new mechanics, an all-new ‘demonic pacts’ skill tree, echo bosses and unique drops. Every choice made by players is both powerful and impactful, as they tailor their experience through theory crafting and creating a combination of buffs through the skill tree, relics and echo boss reward items, and utilise the mode’s accelerated power to create unique builds Old School RuneScape players have never experienced before. 

First announced in Old School RuneScape’s Winter Summit in January, Leagues VI sees players take on contracts set by Yama, the demonic Master of Pacts. Similar to previous instalments of the game mode, Demonic Pacts begins in a single region before further areas are unlocked as players complete tasks. As they do so, they’ll secure Trophy Points that convert into exclusive cosmetic rewards. Sticking with Leagues VI’s theme, these include a Home teleport animation where imps form a summoning circle and return you to the depths of Yama’s Lair, A Soul Reaper axe ornament kit that gives character their own Yama Axe, a custom Player Owned House throne that is a duplicate of Yama’s, Imp thralls and more for the player’s main account. 

“After a two-year break, Leagues is being devilishly summoned back with Demonic Pacts,” said Kieren Charles, Creative Director, Old School RuneScape. “For Old School RuneScape players who are currently AFK and have never played the mode, Leagues is the game they’ve loved for years dialled up to 11: Faster progression, a level playing field for all, and new gameplay mechanics that provide a fresh take on the Old School experience.”

Old School RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.

Bologna, Italy – 15 April, 2026. Get ready to lose control. Spinning Scarecrow, the twisted new arcade puzzle experience from indie developer IV Productions, in collaboration with Power Up Publishing, has been officially unveiled, bringing fast-paced, precision gameplay into a grotesque, hand-drawn world where movement itself is the greatest threat.

DYNAMIC WEATHER CONDITIONS ARRIVE IN TOUR DE FRANCE 2026!

Lesquin, April 15, 2026 – Among this year’s new features, Tour de France 2026, developed by Cyanide Studio, integrates dynamic weather conditions! Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, the stages of the Grande Boucle gain realism with this new feature which impacts gameplay during races. Tour de France 2026 will be available on PC, PlayStation 5TM and Xbox Series X|S, on June 4, 2026.

Watch the new trailer showcasing the weather conditions of Tour de France 2026:

In Tour de France 2026, rain is a new important component and changes the way you play. The terrain becomes slippery and every turn or descent can cause a fall. To avoid a potential skid, you must adapt each trajectory and adjust braking distances. But be careful: break too heavily and the bike risks skidding, causing the rider to fall, which makes them lose crucial time that could cost them the victory! Rain requires players to pay more attention and have more controller control during rainy races. 

Agility plays a key role in avoiding falls. Each rider has an agility rating that makes a real difference during races in the rain. A rider with an A+ agility rating can take more permissive trajectories and has a longer window to recover their bike.

Before each race or stage, it is possible to consult the weather forecasts in the menus. But this indication does not exclude the element of surprise; the weather can change at any time. A stage can start under a clear sky but end in pouring rain, forcing players to adapt.

For stage races like the Tour de France, weather forecasts for the current stage and the next 3 days can be consulted to better anticipate the upcoming weather. The weather also depends on the time of the year.

Temperatures are also part of this new feature. Consultable in the menus and defined before the start of a stage, they influence the outfit worn by the riders. Under a blazing sun, short jerseys and shorts cycling bibs will be worn. While in cold weather, arm warmers and long cycling bibs will be essential.

Weather conditions are customizable in MyTour modes and private Criterium multiplayer games.

Official game of the eponymous competition, Tour de France 2026 faithfully reproduces the 21 new stages of the Grande Boucle, including emblematic locations such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the starting city of this new edition, and the Basilica of Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre in Paris to win the legendary yellow jersey. Players can embody iconic riders like Tadej Pogačar or Jonas Vingegaard, with their official jerseys and teams. This 2026 edition brings several new features with the addition of dynamic weather conditions and improvements for the game modes.

Find all information about Tour de France 2026 here. Tour de France 2026will be available on PlayStation 5TM, Xbox Series X|S and PC on June 4, 2026.

Helsinki, Finland – April 15th, 2026 – Channel37 proudly announces Update 3.5: Shadow Drop, a surprise Early Access update for The Last Caretaker, available now on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Update 3.5: Shadow Drop is the direct result of the game’s community feedback, and isn’t part of the game’s original six-update roadmap. After tracking player reports, crash logs, and various instances of gameplay friction, Channel37 decided against waiting for a major release to resolve these issues.

This extra update focuses on the things players feel every day: broken persistence, unreliable cables, fabrication issues, progression blockers, and resource heavy scenes that needed more performance headroom. Instead of waiting and folding it all into Update 4, it was pushed out now.

Update 3.5 Shadow Drop Highlights

  • Major fixes + optimization to address broken persistence, unreliable cables, fabrication inconsistencies, progression blocks, and graphics lag in certain areas
  • New Photo Drone for taking photos/screenshots, scouting areas, and seeing a new perspective on the drowned world
  • PECO cartridges + playable minigames to challenge even the quickest robotic reflexes
  • More hidden rooms, caves, vents, and secrets throughout familiar locations
  • New expansions to the world such as a new storm region, support buoys, and higher-quality environmental details
  • New customization paints for weapons

“We read the reports, we track the logs, and we take every issue seriously,” said Miika Aulio, CEO and Co-Founder of Channel37. “We released Update 3.5: Shadow Drop because players shouldn’t have to wait for the next big milestone to have us fix issues affecting their experience. If something matters to the players, it matters to us.”

Update 4.0: Below Us, including new underwater locations, vehicles and a combat overhaul forms the next major content release for The Last Caretaker, remains on track and on schedule.

The Last Caretaker is available now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store

Heist with Homies in Horror Comedy Burgle Supply Company, Launching into 1.0 12 May

Friends who steal together, stay together! Well…at least the living ones do!

BOSTON — 15 April 2026 — Burgle Supply Company (formerly titled Good Boy), the co-op horror comedy about bungling burglars looting a nightmarish neighborhood from the veteran developers at Terrible Posture Games, will bring its demonic pet shenanigans to PC via Steam 1.0 with a host of new content on Tuesday, 12 May 2026.

Welcome to Burgle Supply Company, helping thieves help themselves! Up to six friends can steal their dream future by committing larceny in a totally, uh, normal neighborhood, full of amazing stuff to steal. Get in, swipe sweet loot to meet the mandatory goal, tackle optional objectives if the group feels bold, then make out like the bandits that you literally are.

HR legally requires disclosure of one teeny occupational hazard…well, buglars may encounter some slightly unsettling (and possibly bloodthirsty) mutated pets during their heists. But that’s nothing professional thieves can’t handle! Conduct missions swiftly and QUIETLY, or risk becoming a masked human chew toy for a very good boy.

Prepare for typical workplace hazards, including explosive-egg-laying slugs, ghost moths, giant lobster fish, and more, as well as the occasional accidental death caused by well-intending accomplices. Complete missions, return to home base, and deck out the hideaway with a plethora of decorations and upgrades to assist with future break-ins. Burglarize in style with customizable outfits and more than 130 fun masks to collect.  In the 1.0 release, slink through six never-before-seen levels with abundant valuables just ripe for the taking. Discover 80 additional masks, including new “Key” masks that can unlock hidden wings mid-heist. Experienced burglars can trick out the basement with tons of added upgrades…if they’re lucky enough to escape three new scientific monstrosities stalking the neighborhood streets. 

Burgle Supply Company brings a fresh take to the friendslop genre with individually hand-built levels, fun and silly masks to loot and collect, and of course, the giant mutant dog hunting down robbers at every turn,” said Joe Mirabello, Creative Director at Terrible Posture Games. “There was a newly-released horror movie about a dog in distress with the same name and, you know, that dog-actor really is a good boy. He should get the name. Our game has grown during Early Access to focus more on Burglary antics anyway!”

Burgle Supply Company will launch on PC via Steam 1.0 on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, for $7.99 USD/€7,99/¥1,050 with English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese language support.

Raise a Garden- From the Dead! Greenhearth Necromancer to Release on Steam May 11, 2026

Grow plants, raise them from the dead, and enjoy a casual, semi-idle game perfect for lo-fi vibing throughout the day 

[Canada] April 14, 2026 – Silverstring Media and indie.io are delighted to announce that Greenhearth Necromancer will release on Steam on May 11, 2026! This charming semi-idle game puts players in the role of Echo, an enby witch and a newly graduated Actual Necromancer who just inherited their late grandmother’s apartment. As a new arrival at the Greenhearth co-op, they will have to revive a dead garden and figure out their place in the community, all the while enjoying a lo-fi soundtrack and a cozy, chill gameplay experience.

Casual, relaxing gardening remains at the core of Greenhearth Necromancer, with a deliberate design that upends conventional idle game designs. Rather than anxiously watching countdown tickers for the next dopamine hit, players are free to grow and revive Echo’s garden as they see fit, experimenting with necromantic spells, magical potions, and more traditional methods of gardening.

Each plant responds differently to how much sunlight or water it receives, whether it’s alive through conventional means or undead through unconventional ones — and figuring out how to keep them thriving is one side of the coin. The other is figuring out where Echo belongs in the community. Their grandmother was a pillar of Greenhearth’s community, and her grandchild finds themselves (mostly) warmly welcomed.

Players are free to define how they fit among the other magical and non-magical residents of the cooperative, accompanied by a quirky familiar, an animated compost heap that will gingerly help turn any gardening mishaps into fertilizer. The narrative is explored through an event deck, mixing key story beats with random events to let players choose when they want to focus on gardening and when to explore the heartfelt story — penned by Lindsay Ishihiro of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist fame.

This lack of pressure is a deliberate choice, designed to upend the “traditional” semi-idle gameplay conventions. It can be safely left to idle in the background, with a gentle lofi soundtrack providing an excellent background for work, study, or rest. At the same time, it’s always ready to be picked up at any moment and enjoyed to provide a calming break from the daily anxieties.

Ready to experience a new kind of idle game? Greenhearth Necromancer and a new take on gardening release on Steam on May 11, 2026!
