Now Available on Samsung Galaxy Store with Special Launch Rewards
LOS ANGELES – SEPTEMBER 3, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, has released a major September update for its collectible RPG Seven Knights Re:BIRTH. The update adds a new hero, an awakened hero, a new PvE mode, broad content and event improvements, and more.
At the center of the update is [Final Priestess] Hayeon, a new hero from the Guardian of the Boundary. Hayeon is a support-type hero, providing role-based support effects that allow her to contribute to teams composed of either attack- or magic-type heroes. The Hayeon Rate Up Summon and Hayeon Power Up Events are now running until October 1 to welcome the arrival of the new hero. The update also brings [Dark Lunar Witch] Velika, the awakened version of Velika designed to deliver stronger performance in Infinite Tower.
Beyond the hero additions, the September update refreshes several core systems. Stage counts for Adventure, Power Up Dungeon, and Raid have been significantly reduced, with entry materials waived until the first clear. A separate Ruby Farming stage has also been added that allows players to progress through Adventure while managing hero growth more efficiently.
Other improvements include Reserve Keys, a key system that gradually accumulates additional keys when a player’s regular keys are full, giving players extra keys to use when they return after time away from the game. A new mileage feature that grants rewards based on Pick Up Summon count has been added as well.
Events have also been reorganized with the addition of Adventurer’s Path, an intuitive event framework that consolidates previously fragmented missions. Players can complete step-based missions through regular gameplay and receive stage-clear rewards, including all five Seven Knights of Old heroes, 5★ Accessory Box Selection Box, and additional rewards designed to support new players.
A new PvE mode, Abyssal Conquest, has also been added. In this cinematic battle content, players place heroes and pets according to specific conditions, then receive scores after the battle sequence. Heroes and pets are assigned combat power based on their growth level, while bonus combat power can be earned by matching the required conditions. These conditions will change when the four bosses rotate, encouraging players to adjust their formations.
The update also includes the New Breeze Festa event where players can earn valuable rewards such as 3,000 Rubies, a Brilliant Skill Enhancement Stone, and more. The New Breeze Festa Selection Summon is now running, giving players a higher opportunity to obtain Sunran, Dongyoung, and Yoongun.
Seven Knights Re:BIRTH has officially launched on the Samsung Galaxy Store, giving Galaxy device users another way to access the game. To celebrate the launch, players can receive special rewards including a Legendary Hero Ticket III, Legendary Egg, and a Novice Adventurer’s Support Equipment Box.
Seven Knights Re:BIRTH inherits the key elements of the original Seven Knights, Netmarble’s flagship IP that has surpassed 100 million cumulative downloads, including its story, characters, combat systems, and core mechanics while enhancing the gameplay experience with modern gameplay features and the latest trends.
More details on Seven Knights Re:BIRTH are available on the official website and forum. Fans can also stay up-to-date with the latest information on the game by following official social channels on Facebook and YouTube.

Tripwire Interactive and Demiurge Studios Team Up to Create the Next Evolution of the Critically Acclaimed Open-water Action-RPG Starring a Shark (shARkPG)
ROSWELL, Ga. — Sept. 3, 2026.Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive and co-development partner Demiurge Studios made a splash during today’s Sony State of Play with the debut trailer for Maneater 2, announcing that the sequel to the 2020 eat ‘em up sensation and gaming’s first open-world action-RPG starring a shark (shARkPG) is currently in development for the PlayStation®5, XBOX Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ 2 and PC via Steam® and Epic Games Store. Since the release of the original Maneater in 2020 and the official DLC, Maneater: Truth Quest in 2021, the Maneater franchise has amassed over 20 million players from across the globe. Now the queen of the sea is back, joined once again by disgraced reality TV host and narrator, Trip Westhaven (voiced by Chris Parnell – Saturday Night Live, Rick and Morty, Archer) to eat, explore, evolve and escape from Neptune’s Kingdom. Maneater 2 will launch in 2027 and is currently available to Wishlist on applicable platforms.
“The incredible response we received to Maneater has always made it clear that players are hungry for more and we’ve been looking forward to the opportunity to deliver a true sequel,” said Matt LoPilato, CEO at Tripwire. “We’re thrilled to be working alongside our friends at Demiurge to bring the next chapter in the series to life with Maneater 2 and we can’t wait to share more about our plans for the franchise in the months ahead.”
Tripwire is partnering with Boston-based developer, Demiurge Studios in a co-dev relationship that will leverage the creativity, expertise and technological know-how of both groups to ensure that Maneater 2 will be a more immersive and visceral experience than ever before. Environments offer a new level of fidelity and authenticity as rays of sunlight realistically diffuse through water and underwater ecosystems benefit from enhanced NPC behaviors of prey and predators alike, while the meticulous art direction of the game world will bring Neptune’s Kingdom to life (and death) in spectacular fashion.
“We’re huge fans of Maneater here at Demiurge and we’re incredibly excited to sink our teeth into this project with the team at Tripwire,” noted Kurt Reiner, CEO at Demiurge. “The original game did an amazing job of letting gamers live out the power fantasy of ruling open waters as an apex predator and we’re ready to help take that experience to the next level in Maneater 2.”
Welcome to Neptune’s Kingdom
Maneater 2 takes players to the depths of Neptune’s Kingdom, a five-star, luxury theme park and resort where the splendour and opulence of the Roman Empire lives on… but not for long. Crash an exclusive, invite-only preview event hosting the world’s most followed – and most delicious – influencers and media luminaries. Fascinating evolutions are occurring under the surface as a byproduct of the park’s highly-advanced Marine Research efforts to build attractions that push technological, natural – and ethical – boundaries. For the average human, Neptune’s Kingdom is the theme park of their dreams. For the bull shark, it’s a fully realized aquatic sandbox with secrets to uncover, courses and currents to traverse, dangers to overcome and an all-you-can-eat VIP buffet.
Eat: Dominate the top of the food chain and gorge on the five-star global cuisine in Neptune’s Kingdom. Feast upon wild-caught delicacies from the bustling marine ecosystem throughout the park grounds including pufferfish, jumbo crab, piranha, grouper and more, shall we say… unique offerings. Make sure to try the human, it’s delicious.
Explore: The open world is the player’s oyster. Take in the monumental architecture, make a killing on a thrill ride, grab a snack at Mojitodal and discover the secrets lurking in the deep.
Evolve: Marine research and conservation efforts at Neptune’s Kingdom’s aren’t just a great corporate tax break, they’re good for other things as well. What if humanity could provide the ecosystem with genetically modified tools to protect itself? With five different genetic modifications under their belt already, the park’s industry-leading bioengineers are pushing the ethical boundaries of science daily.
Escape: Behind Neptune’s Kingdom’s lavish facade is a disaster waiting to happen. It’s time to tip the scales back in nature’s favor. Mount an attempt to escape this fortress of scientific malpractice and corporate greed – all with the dubious help and one-sided commentary of disgraced reality TV host, Trip Westhaven (Chris Parnell).
More information about Maneater 2 will be made available in the future. Keep up with the latest news on the official Neptune’s Kingdom website. Tripwire will self-publish the title across all digital storefronts, while the game will be supported by global distribution partner PLAION for physical retail sales. This game has not been rated but anticipates an ESRB rating of M for Mature and PEGI 18+.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Eckental, Germany – September 3, 2026
A new announcement trailer for Petty Ungodliness, the roguelite deckbuilder where forgotten gods have to work retail jobs, has been revealed in the Best Indie Games Fall Showcase by ClemmyGames. Together with the fresh trailer, the Petty Ungodliness developers CRNG Games have started an open playtest to give the players a taste of the game, as well as to gather all the possible feedback.
Everyone can join the open playtest through the Petty Ungodliness Steam page or the Firstlook.gg platform. Those wishing to share and discuss the feedback directly with the developers can do it in the CRNG Games’ Discord server.
Help the gods back to their former glory and give the world back its colors
Petty Ungodliness is a single-player tactical roguelite deckbuilder where you bond with forgotten gods, reclaim their power, and push back the creeping Apathy that’s draining all color from the world. The story of the game goes like this:
The gods aren’t dead. They’re just forgotten, and working retail. Ares, former God of War, now pulls espresso shots like they’re battle orders. Gaia, once the Earth Mother, sells cut flowers by the stem. A century ago they surrendered their divinity, the world went gray, and they’ve had a hundred years to get petty about it. Now they want their power back. You’re how they get there.
In Petty Ungodliness you build decks, forge alliances, and fight across shifting three-lane Places of Power, where every choice reshapes your run.
In the fresh playtest version of the game, the developers have fixed the issues pointed out by the players during the first wave of testing and at Gamescom, as well as fine-tuned some gameplay aspects. Each enemy now has their own deck, the opening and tutorial are better readable, the end of a run is really the hardest part, while card values have been adjusted: nine got stronger, one got weaker.
Key features
Battles across 3 simultaneous lanes – Places of Power Build Influence with cards to claim lanes: win a lane to deal damage, lose one and you bleed life. Places of Power rewrite the rules every match: one lane might reward expensive cards, another might punish them.
Your relationships with the gods shape your deck Earn gods through combat, conversation, and choice. Story decisions grant cards, upgrades, or remove weaknesses from your deck. Deepen your bonds to unlock new cards, new decks, new artifacts, and new story paths.
3 choices – 1 run Every run begins with three defining decisions:
Your god – your partner and your rule-breaker. Your deck – your starting strategy. Your artifact – the run-shaping wildcard.
Artifacts anchor entire archetypes and demand different playstyles. Choose wrong, and you’ll find out the hard way that a barista with a grudge packs quite the punch.
Petty Ungodliness is currently in development for PC/Steam, the exact release date is to be announced. There’s currently an open playtest running until September 9th.

The First Demo for the Action-RPG from Veteran Developers GPTRACK50 Offers a Look at the First Two Hours of Gameplay, Available Now on Steam and PlayStation 5
Osaka, Japan, September 3, 2026 – Can an underdog actually save the world from the apocalypse? Well, today, you’ll get to find out as GPTRACK50, a studio founded by veteran action game developers, and publisher SEGA, have just dropped a demo for their upcoming pop-punk action-RPG Stupid Never Dies.
The Stupid Never Dies: First Bite Demo, announced during today’s PlayStation® State of Play Showcase, is available starting today on PlayStation® 5 and Steam. Accompanying the announcement, the team premiered their third trailer which introduced more characters from the game.
Take on the role of Davy, a pathetic, lovestruck zombie, and the lowest of the low in a world overrun by powerful monsters, and descend into the depths, gaining powers with each dive, as you race to defeat KOM (the King of Monsters) and save the world – and the woman he loves.
With this first demo for Stupid Never Dies, you’ll get to experience the first two hours of the game ahead of launch, complete with the introductory cutscene and the game’s signature “Blazing Fast Growth” action-packed gameplay. You’ll get an introduction to the main “Funky Zombie Action” mechanics that power the game:
Style Eat: Devour your enemies to steal their powers! By consuming an enemy’s core, Davy can steal their abilities, changing his appearance and unleashing a whole new level of strength and skill.
Body Hack: Collect powerful Over-Technology (OT) dropped by monsters and visit Acelino, who can create enhanced weapons to give Davy’s left arm, right arm, head, and legs incredible upgrades.
Davy Burst: A full stat power surge, unleash Davy’s ultimate power by generating his burst meter through repeated attacks. Once certain conditions are met, Davy’s imagination overwhelms the visuals of the real world, dramatically boosting all abilities!
You’ll also get to experience two of the bosses Davy will encounter in the game:
Afreet: Said to have proven their loyalty to the ultimate boss, KOM (King Of Monsters), by drinking the flames of hell itself, afreets now burn with internal heat that fuels them endlessly. Their fearlessness has earned them high ranks and access to cutting-edge OT, such as an enhanced gravity control system that torments foes and even doubles as an exercise machine.
Phoenix Zaza Hotfeathers: Is he a friend? Is he a foe? Who knows! His grand cosmic duty is to discharge the waste generated by mother earth Gaia’s metabolism; his vibe is someone who couldn’t care less about anything. Maybe because next to Gaia’s vastness, individual worries seem too tiny. Or maybe he’s just stupid.
As an added bonus, anyone who plays the demo while it’s available will be able to carry over their save data to continue their progress after purchasing the game at launch. Defeating the entity determined to bring about a literal apocalypse is definitely hard, but, hey – getting a bit of a head start certainly helps!
Can Julia Be Brought Back to Life? Powerful New Enemies Revealed in the Third Trailer
Making its worldwide debut during today’s State of Play, this third trailer from GPTRACK50 introduces several characters for the first time, including the Four Generals who serve KOM.
Everent, the Sage Who Hears the Voice of Gaia: A member of a race that has lived alongside Gaia since time immemorial, hearing Gaia’s voice and wielding nature according to its will. Alarmed by the worsening environmental destruction caused by humans, they understand KOM’s concerns about humanity, but believe his methods go against Gaia’s will. After refusing to join him, they were cursed by Takiyasha-Hime. They claim to be the “greatest mind in Gaia’s history” and get surprisingly worked up if anyone says otherwise.
The Four Generals of KOM
Surtr R.S.: A battle-driven maniac who lives for deadly fights. Having trusted in nothing but his own strength, his first-ever defeat came at the hands of KOM. Awed by KOM’s overwhelming power, he swore his loyalty. During the war against humanity, he fought with the strength of tens of thousands. He believes the strong are superior and despises the weak, especially zombies, whom he sees as neither human nor monster. Zombies, in turn, think he’s a meathead.
Dragul: One of the oldest monsters alive. Known as “the Impaler” for his cruelty, he joined KOM on the condition that his clan would one day live beneath the sun. Nearly immortal, he continues to search for someone capable of killing him, but even the war against humanity failed to grant his wish. A legendary superstar of the monster world, he is rumored to have his own fan club — though while he never ages, his fans certainly do.
Takiyasha-Hime: Cursed and controlled like a puppet by her own father, she became captivated by KOM after he killed him and took his place as her new father figure. She is pathologically loyal to KOM, believing he will one day break the curse that remained after her father’s death and save her soul. She curses anyone who stands in KOM’s way. During the war against humanity, soldiers who saw her smiling blissfully at the thought of KOM came to fear her as “real Japanese horror.”
Wolfgang: An extraordinarily cunning werewolf and ruthless leader of the wolf clan who once drove the rival dog clan to the brink of annihilation. Despite his great pride, his instincts told him he could never defeat KOM, so he willingly entered his service. Hierarchy comes naturally to the wolf clan, and following someone stronger for the sake of the pack is no humiliation. His territorial instincts are so strong that he even marks his turf during important meetings, much to the annoyance of his subordinates.

The Diablo creator-backed anime action roguelike from Streetlamp Studio and Skystone Games hands players a new Timehacker, new bosses, a new map, and the Authority system ahead of its Spring 2027 launch
SAN FRANCISCO, September 3, 2026 – Skystone Games and Streetlamp Studio today revealed a brand-new story trailer for SlashZero during Sony’s State of Play showcase, and revealed that a brand-new playable demo has launched. This limited-time experience is live starting Sep 3, 2026 3:15 PM PDT and remains accessible until Sep 23, 2026 3:00 PM PDT. Prospective Timehackers can find the download on the PlayStation Store and Steam product pages. announced that an all-new playable demo is available now on PlayStation 5 and Steam.
SlashZero is a 3D anime side-scrolling roguelike that puts players in the role of a Timehacker traveling across multiple timelines. Its fast-paced combat moves seamlessly between ground and air, allowing players to take down enemies with stylish attacks and fluid combos. Players can experiment with different combat builds, grow stronger as they face more enemies, and uncover the truth of the world. First revealed at the Future Games Show in March, SlashZero is scheduled to launch on PC and PlayStation®5 in spring 2027.
What’s in the Demo
This demo offers the most complete look yet at SlashZero’s core gameplay loop, with up to 10 hours of gameplay. Players start by choosing a Timehacker, then experiment with different combat options and builds, unlock additional Timehackers, progress through various out-of-round systems, and take on new rounds that may reveal hidden bosses. Compared with previous closed and in-person tests, this version includes substantially more playable content. It includes:
A New Timehacker: Hamlet
A stage robot who awakened under mysterious circumstances, Hamlet now carries the responsibility of saving the world—not only on stage, but across every timeline. He fights with a longsword and shield, can reconfigure his weapons in combat, and excels at overwhelming groups of enemies with sweeping close-range attacks.
Hamlet was teased as a mysterious character in the global trailer released this June and will be playable for the first time in this demo. After completing the first loop as Nyx or Fina and interacting with a character at the camp, players can trigger Hamlet’s story in later loops by meeting the required timeline and mission conditions, unlocking him as a playable Timehacker and beginning a new journey.
Challenge Two New Secret Bosses: Erik and Ye
Although Erik and Ye have appeared in previous demos and trailers, this will be the first time players can challenge them as secret bosses. As one of the first enemies encountered in the tutorial, Erik uses his overwhelming power to sever the Timehacker’s connection to “Silver” before defeating the player with a relentless assault. This time, players can return with more skills and stronger upgrades at their disposal—and finally face him in a full rematch.
Ye previously appeared as an NPC across several maps, but now steps forward as an adversary. Who is he, and what secrets is he hiding? Players will have to uncover the answers for themselves.
Find out more in the new demo!
HIEROS-I, Lord of the Void, Revealed
The new story trailer also marks the first appearance of HIEROS-I, Lord of the Void. No one knows HIEROS-I’s true form. Wielding the power of the Imaginary, HIEROS-I creates new laws and reaches into every timeline, all in an attempt to create an entirely new dimension.
After fighting through multiple timelines and completing the prerequisite challenges, players will come face-to-face with HIEROS-I for the first time. The ultimate target of every Timehacker, HIEROS-I appears as an immense, distant figure and issues a challenge: “Forget those false timelines… Behold the truth.”
The truth of time—and of this world—will be waiting for Timehackers when SlashZero launches in spring 2027.
The demo will also give players an early look at stages and environments from new maps. SlashZero’s roguelike systems have expanded as well. The new Authority, Infinity of Space, introduces a range of additional buffs and build options. Players can also upgrade more Chips to reshape how each character plays, unlock additional Authority Codes, and progress through more out-of-round progression systems. Together, these in-round mechanics and long-term progression systems support distinctly different combat builds, ensuring that every run offers a fresh experience.

Today’s trailer showcases an all-new look at Fate/EXTRA Record
Originally released in 2010 as the first RPG in the Fate series, Fate/EXTRA has been completely recreated for modern platforms and includes entirely new content. Additional story content, redrawn character designs and a more strategic deck-building dramatic command battle system have been added, delivering a rich experience that’s familiar, but fresh to longtime fans of the series.
In Fate/EXTRA Record, a super computer has been discovered on the moon, and the Holy Grail – an omnipotent wish-granting device created by the Moon Cell – grants the user any desire. A battle over ownership of a single Holy Grail – the Holy Grail War – begins at SE.RA.PH, a virtual world that has been constructed on the moon.
Vying for the Grail are 128 Masters, commanding servants who were heroes of human history, each guarding their own wish should they succeed, as they fight to survive and vanquish their enemies via deck-building command card battles. Players are thrust into the role as a Master, a second year high school student at Tsukumihara Academy suffering from amnesia.
Unable to recall who you are or what you are fighting for, you are accompanied by a single servant as you battle in a brutal fight to the death in a seven-round tournament. Harness a wide-range of weapons at your disposal, and string together unbeatable combinations in combat – including the Mystic Code that can aid greatly in battle. Uncover your enemy’s true name and unlock their weakness to defeat them and claim the Grail for your own.
