Distorted by time and decay, death has taken on new, horrific forms and hunts you through every passageway. Will you find your way out, or will this sadistic labyrinth grind you to dust?

The Tunnel of Death DLC offers an average playtime of four hours, introduces new gameplay mechanics, new mutants and delivers four new missions, as well as a new weapon. Players explore the map whilst fleeing from the threat of death.

Urban-Occult Action Roguelite 7Trials Officially Announced by Newcore Games

SEONGNAM, SOUTH KOREA, June 23, 2026 – Newcore Games (CEO Manjae Lee), the indie studio behind The Devil Within: SATGAT, today officially announced 7Trials, a top-down hack-and-slash action roguelite with online co-op for up to four players, inspired by Korean afterlife folklore. The announcement is accompanied by the release of an official teaser trailer and the launch of the Steam store page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/4192680/7_Trials/).

When School Becomes the Underworld

7Trials blends Korean traditional afterlife mythology with an urban-occult aesthetic, familiar, unsettling school corridors twisted into something unknown. In the world of the game, Seocheon Academy, South Korea’s most prestigious exam preparatory school, is consumed by a blinding white flash and transformed into a Fixed Realm, a place suspended between the living world and the afterlife.

Players take on the role of Yeoubi, a temporary Reaper contracted by Yeomra Solutions Inc., a corporate underworld agency. Over the course of 49 days, Yeoubi must survive seven trials, uncover the secrets buried within the academy, and release the obsessions that have trapped countless souls. The game’s visual identity, the dread of familiar spaces slowly distorting, layered over the strange beauty of Korean afterlife traditions, offers a world rarely seen in global gaming.

Beyond Simple Upgrades: Build Your Combat Style with 3 layer skill system.

7Trials is designed around fast, build-driven hack-and-slash combat. Players choose active combat skills (Spells), reshape them with modifiers (Offerings), and stack passive effects (Fate cards) that change how each run plays. The organic combination of all three layers produces thousands of possible builds, ensuring that every run delivers a completely different combat experience. When players with distinct builds join forces in co-op, synergies emerge that no solo run can replicate.

“We’re thrilled to finally share 7Trials with the world. With The Devil Within: SATGAT, we proved that Korean cultural material could resonate with a global audience. With 7Trials, we’ve gone deeper embedding Korea’s afterlife mythology into the action genre we know best. We hope the experience of forging your own combat style across 49 days of trials will feel genuinely fresh to players around the world.”

Manjae Lee, Game Director, Newcore Games

  • MULTIPLAYER DIESELPUNK ACTION: Every city looted, shipwreck scoured or encounter with fellow scavengers survived might just be your last, so keep your wits about you! Face mysterious supernatural forces, fight or talk your way out of confrontations with other players, successfully make it to your extraction point, and escape to the safety of the orbital station with your loot, life and Trampler intact.
  • BRAVE THE DUNES: Test your builds and scavenge items at your own pace in Voyage Mode, or raise the stakes with a shrinking map and escalating dangers in Storm Dive Modefor higher-tier loot and greater rewards.
  • PERSISTENT PROGRESS: Unlike traditional survival games, SAND eliminates the dreaded offline raid; your Trampler extracts with you at the end of each session. Build, fight, extract, repeat – without losing everything while you sleep!

New God Save Birmingham Update Video Shows Enhanced Dynamic Combat, Weather System Upgrades, and More

Pick fruit, light fires, and drink alcohol in the Closed Beta Test, beginning next week 

El Segundo, California June 19, 2026 | Kakao Games and Ocean Drive Studio have released the third God Save Birmingham Developer Update video, which highlights many of the new features players will be able to experience during the upcoming Closed Beta Test that begins on 22 June.

Watch God Save Birmingham Dev Update 3 video below: 

This new Developer Update video shows the many additions and improvements made to God Save Birmingham’s combat since February’s Closed Alpha Test. Attack animations are quicker, controls are more responsive, and enemies are a little more durable, leading to a more dynamic and challenging combat experience. Additionally, spears, one-handed swords and halberds have been added to the game — with more medieval melee tools planned for the future — and players can now shout at zombies to lure them in their direction for a fight. 

A significant amount of survival-related content has been added to the game, too. Chickens are now available as livestock and will provide eggs at regular intervals, while fruits and vegetables can now be picked from garden plots or the nearby forest. Drinking water can be collected from the river flowing through town, however the poor quality can lead to an upset stomach. Various historically accurate medieval beverages have also been added to God Save Birmingham, such as ale. While alcohol can quench the player character’s thirst and reduce their mental stress, excessive consumption can result in intoxication, making survival more difficult.

Huge changes have been made to the weather system, with conditions heavily impacting a player’s chance of survival. For example, fog impairs the vision of zombies, aiding players looking to remain hidden, while colder temperatures that come with rain can negatively affect a player’s health. To warm up, players can light an indoor fire, but they must exercise caution: flames can now spread to wooden objects, and players can get burned if they get too close.

All this, plus numerous other additions, such as an improved Journal system to onboard new players, advancements to in-game physics, and an enhanced sleep system, are all detailed in the Dev Update 3 video. 

“While the team would love to include and showcase more features in the game, we believe that making things well is more important than making a lot,” said production director Soonook Shin. “Therefore we intend to focus on creating a great game by continuously developing, testing and refining content.”

Players can register their interest in the God Save Birmingham Closed Beta Test, which begins on 22 June and ends on 29 June, by following the steps outlined on the game’s Steam page.
