PROJECT MOTOR RACING TRAVELS THROUGH TIME WITH WORLD ENDURANCE PACK THIS NOVEMBER

Publisher GIANTS Software and developer Straight4 Studios announced the World Endurance Pack for Project Motor Racing, launching on November 10th. The pack delivers a blend of old and new with 11 cars across four endurance classes, ranging from the mid-2010’s era LMP1 and LMP2, modern LMP2 EVO and classic IMSA GTP eras.

The Fuji Speedway track – the heart and soul of Motorsport in Japan – ties the pack together with its current modern and the historic version from 1966.

Endurance and Speed Through the Ages

The pack contains four new classes and the following 11 cars, which further enhance the impressive selection of racing icons in Project Motor Racing:

  • LMP1 class brings back the start of the 2010’s hybrid era with the 2016 Audi R18, Porsche 919 Hybrid and the Toyota TS050 Hybrid.
  • LMP2 and LMP2 EVO introduce two new classes paying homage to two eras of prototype racing with the 2013 Olivera P2-13 and the 2026 Olivera P2-26 EVO respectively.
  • IMSA GTP turns back the clocks by bringing six cars from the iconic US racing series with the 1986 BMW March GTP, 1986 Chevrolet Corvette C4 GTP, 1986 Ford Probe GTP, 1988 Jaguar XJR 9 GTP, 1988 Nissan GTP SX-Turbo and the 1988 Porsche 962 GTP.

Six Track Layouts Beneath Mount Fuji

Breathtaking speed meets history in a spectacular scenery: the legendary Fuji Speedway played a significant role in catapulting both the drivers and the home manufacturers onto the world stage of motorsport.

Players can travel back in time to experience the dawn of Japan’s rich motorsport history with the original Fuji Speedway from 1966, featuring its original banking turn 1 that demands courage and commitment, and four different layouts — two of which can be raced in reverse. The modern version features two layouts, bringing the total to six.

Project Motor Racing is available for PC, PlayStation® 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders for the World Endurance Racing Pack are available on selected digital channels. A Year 1 Season Pass is obtainable separately and includes the World Endurance Pack and more content – fans save up to 30% compared to buying all content separately.

Platypus devs unleash their party brawler Knuckle Creek on Steam October 29th

New trailer shows clay-styled combatants in clobbering countryside chaos!

Sheffield, UK, October 13th, 2026 – Claymatic Games, the developer behind acclaimed stop-motion animated shmup Platypus Reclayed, have revealed that their upcoming arena brawling party game Knuckle Creek is coming to Steam on October 29th for $5.99 / £4.79 / €5.79! Using a combination of clay animation, scanned clay models and 3d modelling, Claymatic brings their distinctive clay look to an arcade game that lets you smack your way through a series of solo stages, or join up with up to 8 friends in couch play or online battles as you compete to become conqueror of the countryside! To commemorate the release date announcement, Claymatic Games has unveiled an all new trailer.

Knuckle Creek’s solo campaign takes players through dozens of varied stages as you brawl your way to victory. Play as Hot Dog Man fending off peckish crows, assume the role of the local vampire facing off against pitchfork-wielding townsfolk, or defend your title as champion boxer Apollo Crude as he faces the Karate Club. Ascend the leaderboards as you compete with friends for the fastest time across Knuckle Creek’s bevy of bite-sized challenges.

Unlock hundreds of colourful cosmetic costumes by completing stages and achieving star times. Take on Random and Endless Challenges for more friendly leaderboard competition and unlockable cosmetics. Mix and match hats, jackets, shoes, hair and more to create anyone from a badass bumpkin to a gutterpunk bruiser to a funky disco dude, plus robots, pirates, monsters and more, all portrayed in glorious clay detail!

Gotten the hang of rumbling in the solo missions? Now take on your friends in PvP or team skirmishes across local and private online matches. Up to 8 players can join on one machine. Practice against bots or take them on as a team! Extensive customisation of match settings are available, or you can jump straight in. Taunt your opponents with insults, then hit them with a fish, a can of beans or a live chicken, or just a well-placed fist or foot. Eliminated players can even lay traps from the sidelines.

“Last year we got heaps of praise for our clay-animated shmup Platypus Reclayed, and Knuckle Creek continues in a similar visual style (which I developed years ago working as a stop-motion animator), but this time we’re using a blend of 3d animation and scanned clay models combined with traditional stop-motion” said Anthony Flack, Lead Games Designer at Claymatic Games. “We actually started Knuckle Creek before Platypus Reclayed, but as a more ambitious game it’s been in development for longer. Control is more complex than Platypus’ one-button gameplay, but still relatively simple for its genre. It’s all about positioning, making use of weapons and reacting to emergent chaos, rather than learning complex combos.

“With a low barrier to entry but high skill ceiling, Knuckle Creek is the perfect ‘afterparty’ game, where anyone can hop in and have a good time. We really leaned into the comedy too, with all the silly characters and situations – I recorded thousands of voice samples to bring the cast to life and we put a lot of jokes in. It is a very slapstick game where you can drop an anvil on somebody’s head or throw a pig. We want to make people laugh.”

Key Features

  • 48+ handcrafted solo stages, as well as endless and randomised solo challenges
  • Up to 8-player local and online multiplayer, including bot support
  • Hundreds of cosmetics included — hats, jackets, shoes, hair, all in glorious clay
  • Bluegrass and blues inspired soundtrack
  • Friends Leaderboards and star-ratings for every stage
  • Made with a mix of stop-motion techniques and 3d graphics by the Platypus Reclayed team

Alongside the announcement trailer, Claymatic Games have also released a sing-a-long version, inviting viewers to join in with its catchy country earworm.

Fight Murderous Puppets to the Beat in Rhythm-Action Roguelite Alpha Nomos, Now Available on Steam and Consoles

Wield live-recorded instruments as weapons and bring the music back to a world that lost its rhythm

October 12, 2026 – Alpha Nomos, the rhythm-action roguelite from independent studio RibCage Games, is now available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. To mark the launch, the game is 10% off on Steam for the first 7 days.

To celebrate launch day, RibCage Games has released a launch trailer. It shows Cello’s instrument-driven combat, the powerups that remix every run and the corrupted circus waiting at the end of the road. Check it out below.

Something broke the music and the world broke with it. Cities stand empty, the circus has turned on its audience and the puppets that once performed now hunt anything that moves. Cello and her friends are the last ones still listening and the only way forward is to fight in time.

Alpha Nomos was built on one idea: rhythm should be the core of the combat, not something layered on top. Every input lands exactly when it is pressed, with no quantization snapping it to the beat. Hitting on time is a real skill and the game rewards players who learn it. Cello’s weapons are real instruments recorded live in the studio, from cello to the xylophone-blade Xyloblades, so every strike carries an actual performance. As players improve, the soundtrack builds with them.

Each run is shaped by musical powerups such as Reverb, Flanger and Delay. Stacking them changes how Cello fights and how the whole run sounds, so no two builds play or sound the same. Between runs, players can visit Maestro’s move shop to expand their arsenal. A timing offset lets every player tune the beat to their own setup before stepping into the arena.

“We always felt rhythm games could go further, so we made the beat the reason you fight instead of something playing in the background. Every weapon you hear was played by a real musician and every hit lands exactly when you press it. Today the full show is finally open and we can’t wait to hear what players make of it,” said Itamar Berner, CEO at RibCage Games.

KEY FEATURES

  • True-to-Press Rhythm Combat: No input quantization. Every hit lands when you press it and staying on beat is what makes you dangerous.
  • Live Instruments, Real Weapons: Every weapon is a studio-recorded instrument, played by real musicians.
  • Powerups You Can Hear: Stack Reverb, Flanger, Delay and more to reshape your moves and your mix in the same run.
  • A Soundtrack That Follows You: The music builds as your performance does, turning each run into its own track.
  • Puppetcore World: Abandoned cities and a twisted circus full of puppets that have forgotten how to stop.

Alpha Nomos is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for $17.99. A 10% launch discount is available on Steam for the first 7 days.

About RibCage Games

RibCage Games is an independent studio founded by four developers who left mobile gaming to build the immersive PC experiences they grew up loving. Alpha Nomos is their debut commercial release, a rhythm-action roguelite built on the belief that music isn’t a backing track, it’s the rulebook. We create, we don’t generate.

The Epicosy Life-Sim Builder Is Here: Moonfrost Is OUT NOW on Steam Early Access

Rebuild a broken village, forge relationships and uncover the mystery of a second moon.

October 12, 2026 – Oxalis Games has launched Moonfrost, its narrative-driven cozy life-sim RPG, on Steam Early Access today.

Moonfrost is made by a collective studio of hand-crafted game makers. It blends the warmth of a cozy life-sim with the depth of a building simulation. A launch trailer is available now:

One hundred years ago, a second moon appeared in the sky. It rained icy meteorites across the world and left it in ruins. Survivors named the strange substance Moonfrost. Now players take up the mantle of the Frost Hunters, the pioneers who learned to harness the power hidden in these frozen shards and bring a struggling village back to life.

In Moonfrost, rebuilding the town means rebuilding its people. Each home and business restored brings another villager back, along with new relationships to form. Every character has their own personality and story arc that evolves as the village grows. Some become close friends and some become something more. The choices players make shape how the whole community comes together.

The loop is all about growth. Farm, fish, forage and gather raw materials, then craft them into goods. Use those goods to build, take on quests that unlock new tools and fill requests that fund future crafting.

Beyond the village, ancient temples hold dangerous enemies, deadly traps and rare resources. They also hold clues to the truth behind the second moon.

“Moonfrost has always been about people coming together to fix something broken. Today we finally get to share that vision with everyone who waited for it. Thank you for sticking with us.” said Gina Nelson, Oxalis Games

Key Features

  • Life-sim rebuild: Restore, construct and customize the village and its buildings.
  • Narrative-driven world: A character-driven game with deep lore and a mysterious second moon at the center of it all.

What if Shadow of the Road was an anime? J-Rock band Earthists and Owlcat team up for epic anime opening-like trailer
