Light the Beacons! ‘The Gate Must Stand’ Launches on Steam Today

Heroes may fall, but the gate must stand in this Tower Defence/Survivors-like Roguelite 

18th June 2026, Bristol UK – Develop: Star Awards nominees Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games are proud to announce the release of The Gate Must Stand – a dark fantasy action-strategy game about holding the line against impossible odds.

The Gate Must Stand blends clever systemic gameplay with a highly replayable run-based structure. Part tower defence, part Survivors-like but all-action roguelite, The Gate Must Stand sees players building defences, deploying troops, managing resources, and entering the battlefield themselves in order to keep the kingdom’s final gate intact for just one more night.

Each run allows players to recruit and upgrade heroes, construct defences, unlock powerful abilities and discover increasingly absurd synergies as enemy waves become larger, stranger and significantly more terrifying. Success depends not just on surviving, but on adapting, with players needing to balance short-term survival against longer-term strategy as the battlefield spirals into chaos.

Visually, the game combines a dark, fantasy atmosphere with huge on-screen battles and satisfying, chunky combat feedback, creating a constant sense of escalation as each run pushes players further towards inevitable catastrophe.

Set during the final defence of the Kingdom of Belrak, players are placed in command of a desperate fortress defence against endless waves of monsters, horrors and things with far too many teeth. Heroes can fall. Entire squads can be wiped out. Carefully laid plans can collapse into panic and fire. But the gate must stand.

The Gate Must Stand launches with:

  • 4 Heroes, each with their own unique playstyle
  • 149 Hero Skills
  • 19 Base Followers
  • 38 Ultimate forms
  • 150 Follower Skills
  • 3 Stages
  • 6 Maps
  • 5 Difficulty Levels
  • 13 Bosses
  • 10 Elite Enemies
  • 46 Advanced Skill Options
  • 53 Game-Altering Relics

The Gate Must Stand is the third co-published title between Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games. It is out now on PC via Steam for $9.99 with a 30% discount for launch.

For budding interior designers looking to revisit already completed projects, Game Plus mode adds new content to all levels.

Sandbox Mode, on the other hand, allows designers limitless creativity! Players can choose between a few room types that they can decorate freely with any piece of furniture, wallpaper, paint color, window, and floor in the game. Sandbox Mode doesn’t end there, players can also add a background of their choice to the scene, choose the material for the outside of the building, add support beams or duplicate furniture to make perfect pairs. This is merely the first iteration of Sandbox Mode, and the team will continue to develop and improve it based on community feedback. Create that romantic restaurant, your perfect loft apartment or a quirky bookstore that sometimes shows old movies. Sandbox Mode puts you in control.

The decorative fun doesn’t stop with this update!

In addition, free seasonal content updates will arrive later in the year to celebrate Halloween, the holiday season and more going into 2027!

Enlisted storms Omaha beach and significantly enhances visuals

Two new Operation Neptune battlefields, spectacular destruction effects, improved animations and fresh weapons arrive in the WW2 online shooter

Gaijin Entertainment and Darkflow Software announce Operation Neptune, a new major content update for Enlisted, the squad-based online shooter dedicated to the key battles of World War II. The update brings players to Normandy, expands the research trees with new weapons and vehicles, and significantly improves the look and feel of combat with reworked explosions, ricochets, tracers, animations and visual effects.

The centerpiece of Operation Neptune is the new Omaha location, inspired by the Allied landings on Omaha and Sword beaches. The new battlefield offers varied terrain, where trenches, pillboxes, artillery craters, barbed wire and coastal batteries create new tactical opportunities for both attackers and defenders. Battles will also move beyond the beach itself, taking players through battered urban districts, rural areas, farms, factories and warehouses, each demanding a different approach to movement, cover and squad tactics.

Operation Neptune also adds new research-tree equipment for several armies. The USSR receives the SU-122 self-propelled gun, built on the T-34 chassis and armed with a gun capable of threatening both infantry and armored targets. Germany adds the Nashorn tank destroyer, equipped with the powerful 88 mm PaK43 cannon, as well as the Suomi KP/-31 (SJR), an improved version of the famous Finnish submachine gun with better accuracy and a 71-round magazine. Japan receives the Type 4 90 mm anti-tank launcher, while the United States adds the F7F-1 Tigercat, a fast twin-engine heavy fighter armed with 20 mm cannons, Browning machine guns and bombs.

The update also makes Enlisted’s battles more spectacular and readable. Tank destruction effects have been reworked, including improved ammunition rack fires and turrets that can be blown off by internal explosions. These turrets are not just cosmetic: they can crush soldiers unlucky enough to be standing beneath them. Flying debris now leaves smoke trails, fires can spread to nearby grass, and vehicle armor penetrations produce more visible sparks, smoke and flames, helping players better understand the result of their shots in the heat of battle.

Aircraft destruction has received similar attention. When planes are destroyed in the air, they now produce more powerful explosions, while torn-off parts scatter more naturally and leave fiery trails behind them. Small arms bullets can now ricochet off armored vehicles, and the update also improves muzzle flashes, dust from impacts, fire animations and other battlefield effects. Finally, tracers now have a more natural teardrop shape, with thin fading tails, brighter heads and thickness that better reflects the projectile’s caliber. This makes incoming and outgoing fire easier to read.

On PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One, visual presets have been updated to improve image quality while keeping the same FPS target. PlayStation 4 now uses high quality Temporal Hyper Resolution at 1080p, Xbox One switches to 720p upscaled to 1080p with high quality THR, and PlayStation 4 Pro now outputs a 4K image. On PC, ray tracing has received under-the-hood CPU optimizations with better multithreading and caching, improving performance on systems with a weaker CPU and a strong GPU.

More information about Enlisted is available at the official website.

Neon Giant Reveals How a Small Veteran Team Built NO LAW’s Dense Open-World City

In a recent Unreal Fest presentation, the studio showcased its “Density Over Scale” approach to building Port Desire, a seamless cyber-noir city powered by Unreal Engine 5

EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. – June 18, 2026 – Neon Giant, the KRAFTON, Inc. studio behind the upcoming open-world shooter NO LAW, showcased how its small team built Port Desire, the game’s dense cyber-noir city, during Unreal Fest 2026. The studio also released a World Dev Diary video exploring the making of Port Desire, available now on the official NO LAW YouTube channel.

The presentation, led by Neon Giant Creative Director Tor Frick, focused on one of the studio’s core development principles: “Density Over Scale.” With a team of around 20 veteran developers, Neon Giant set out to build an open-world city defined not by sheer size, but by how much detail, reactivity, and gameplay possibility could be packed into each street, alley, and interior.

Port Desire, the main setting of NO LAW, was built using Neon Giant’s proprietary tools alongside Unreal Engine 5 technologies. Nanite allows the team to create extreme visual density and handcrafted environmental detail across a seamless city without compromising performance. Lumen and MegaLights power a fully dynamic lighting and weather system, with hundreds of individual light sources that influence AI behavior and player strategy. Mass Framework and MetaHuman technology help bring the city’s population to life with more than 3,000 highly varied, dynamic NPCs.

During the presentation, Neon Giant also showed how Port Desire’s atmosphere is designed to affect the way players move through the world. Players can shoot out streetlights to plunge an area into darkness, causing enemies to react to changes in light, shadow, and sound. By combining PCG, Niagara Data Channels, and Chaos Physics, the team created a reactive environment where thousands of particles and destruction effects respond dynamically to player actions.

“By leveraging UE5’s latest tech to bypass traditional development bottlenecks, we’ve finally been able to build the uncompromised version of the world we’ve wanted to create for years,” said Tor Frick, Creative Director at Neon Giant. “We look forward to the day players can experience Port Desire for themselves.”

NO LAW is an immersive open-world shooter with a rich story and memorable characters, set in the seaside cyber-noir city of Port Desire. Players take on the role of Grey Harker, a former soldier, and can approach missions through a variety of tactical options, from stealth infiltration to head-on assault.

NO LAW is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. For more information, please visit the official website, Steam store page, and official social channels.
