This week marks the eighth anniversary of the ARK: Survival Evolved launch into Steam early access – with a passionate, creative community that quickly formed around the gigantic, dinosaur infested island. To celebrate, the talented art team at Studio Wildcard designed key art which encompasses the majority of ARK creatures – big and small, on land and by sea – that roam this vast world. The ARK universe continues to expand, with not only ARK: Survival Ascended this fall, but also ARK: The Animated Series, and ARK 2 on the horizon.
Last Friday the final creature, the Rhyniognatha, landed on The Island and Lost Island, while the first community voted creature was revealed for ARK: Survival Ascended. Full details can be found in this week’s Community Crunch.
Although last it’s certainly not the least, as the Rhyniognatha is a super-sized creature with a set of unique abilities. From producing quick-hardening resin to being capable of carrying large objects around bases, these versatile creatures provide an unparalleled enhancement to any tribe’s defenses.
Also, Studio Wildcard revealed that the Fasolasuchus will be added as a new creature to Scorched Earth for ARK: Survival Ascended. The powerful and aggressive Fasolasuchus is the first of many new creature additions coming your way for ARK: Survival Ascended.

Eight species of enemies, including alien fungi, brutish ogres, and towering treefolk, stand to put an end to the planet’s evolution and guard unique rewards! Slice through them with a properly smithed sword, or chip away at them with evasive tactics. Cruising through the different realms of existence can be lonesome… Call on up to three friends to help travel across the multi-dimensional planes and reveal the secrets scattered across the depths of space.

NO JOB IS TOO BIG, NO PUP IS TOO SMALL – LAUNCHING THIS OCTOBER ON CONSOLES AND PC
Outright Games, one of the leading publishers of family-friendly interactive entertainment, in collaboration with Paramount Consumer Products and Nickelodeon, is excited to reveal the PAW Patrol World video game, inspired by the global hit preschool franchise, created by Spin Master Entertainment. PAW Patrol World releases September 29th, 2023 for PlayStation 4®, PlayStation 5®, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox One, Xbox X|S and Steam.
Bringing an authentic experience for fans of all ages, PAW Patrol World is an open world adventure game that faithfully recreates the environments and characters from the phenomenally popular series. In PAW Patrol World families can play together as they explore the streets of Adventure Bay, to the towers of Barkingburg, Jake’s mountain and the wild jungle.
Watch the brand new trailer
The story follows Mayor Humdinger and his Kitten Catastrophe Crew’s plans to disrupt the PAW Patrol Day festival celebrations. Players can play and switch between the iconic pup crew to save the day with daring rescues, exciting puzzles and playful missions. With eight playable characters, including Chase, Skye, Marshall, Rubble, Rocky and Zuma as well as fan favourites Tracker and Everest, fans can enjoy the true PAW Patrol experience. Each pup is equipped with their own unique abilities and usable vehicles, and eagle-eyed fans can spot characters from the show throughout the game.
The world is filled with collectibles and secrets that unlock missions and progression items to customise characters and vehicles. Players can collect skins, emojis and stickers through gameplay. Mayor Goodway has another surprise as part of the festival celebrations – a Chickaletta Art Exhibition – where players can unlock artwork to help her complete the art collection featuring her beloved chicken.
Whether players are exploring solo or teaming up with two-person couch co-op, PAW Patrol World provides fun for the whole family. Inspired by iconic episodes of PAW Patrol, the game also features four special ‘Flashback Missions’ in which players can relive scenes as playable missions.
The game has been built with accessibility at the forefront, developed from years of learning to ensure the game is accessible to even the youngest of PAW Patrol fans. The game is fully voiced and equipped with intuitive controls and allows younger players to safely explore, play and follow a mission.
PAW Patrol World is based on Spin Master’s PAW Patrol, the award-winning hit animated pre-school series that follows the adventures of a tech-savvy boy named Ryder and his team of pups who are ready to save the day. One of the most popular kids’ shows in the world, its success has turned the franchise intoa true global phenomenon. Since its launch in 2013, PAW Patrol currently airs in over 180 territories and in 35 languages, consistently ranking as one of the top-rated preschool series and reaching over 350 million households globally. The series was recently renewed for a 10th season (26 episodes) that will follow the PAW-some pack of pups, including Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky, Zuma, Everest and Tracker, on even more action-packed rescue missions and adventures–whether it’s deep in the unexplored regions of the jungle or out-of-this-world trouble in Adventure Bay.
Beth Goss, CEO of Outright Games, says: “With the 10 year anniversary of the franchise and a new movie on the way, PAW Patrol World arrives during an incredibly important year for the brand and we are thrilled to be a part of the celebration. This is the most ambitious PAW Patrol game to ever be made, and we are delighted to have worked closely with Nickelodeon and Paramount Consumer Products to carefully connect with the series.”

One of the most celebrated and influential PC games of all time is back, rebuilt from the ground-up using cutting-edge VR mechanics
Sydney, Australia – June 2nd, 2023 – At the Meta Showcase, publisher Vertigo Games and co-developers Vertigo Studios Rotterdam and Exkee unveiled their thrilling new project: The 7th Guest VR. This virtual-reality reimagining of the interactive mystery puzzle adventure, that helped revolutionise PC gaming, is to the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and PC VR later this year.
As Bill Gates astutely put it, The 7th Guest marked “the new standard in interactive entertainment” back when the original game launched in the mid-90s. Developed by Trilobyte and Virgin Interactive Entertainment, The 7th Guest was a pioneer in leveraging CD-ROM technology. The game garnered millions of fans globally due to its impressive pre-rendered 3D graphics, mature narrative, and use of live-action video clips to enhance its storytelling.
Now, the beloved dark mystery returns, entirely reimagined for VR gameplay and featuring additional enhancements to create the definitive way to experience The 7th Guest.
“I can still remember being mesmerised when I played the original. It all felt so real to me. And so mysterious! Being able to bring that iconic game to VR is a dream come true and I can’t wait to share the result with everyone”, says Game Director, Paul van der Meer.
Through innovative VR gameplay and the interpolation of live-action, volumetric storytelling, The 7th Guest VR invites players into a grandiose mansion filled with cryptic secrets and challenging puzzles, as they attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding the estate’s sinister owner, the toymaker Henry Stauf.
Other key gameplay elements include:
Volumetric Storytelling: The 7th Guest VR employs cutting-edge ghostly volumetric video capture with 3D live-action graphics and exquisite performances that help tell a visceral & haunting story.
A Narrative Legacy: Featuring the original story as written by Matthew J. Costello, The 7th Guest VR brings back characters like Martine Burden, Brian Dutton, Edward & Elinor Knox and others, as well as some surprise appearances.
Expertly-crafted VR Puzzle Gameplay: All-new puzzles that have been carefully redesigned to take full advantage of the technological possibilities of VR. The mansion’s many puzzles are all meaningfully connected to the main story and use recognisable aesthetic elements to pay homage to the original.
Dynamic VR Environments: The 7th Guest mansion awakens, as the environments are vividly realised with high-end visuals and VR-powered optical illusions. This immersive approach lets players delve into every corner of the haunted mansion and see how it changes around them as they unlock intricate puzzles and unveil cryptic clues.
The 7th Guest is now available for wishlisting on Steam and Meta Quest.
Platforms: Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Steam VR.
