Bologna, Italy – March 13, 2026. Indie developer Power Up Team today launches the dark fantasy action-roguelite Vespera Bononia on PC via Steam, inviting players to descend into a twisted gothic reimagining of medieval Bologna where danger lurks around every corner.

Blending fast-paced combat, powerful magical abilities, and the ever-changing challenge of roguelite progression, Vespera Bononia sends players battling through cursed streets, haunted districts, and nightmarish foes inspired by Italian folklore. With each run, players will forge new builds, uncover secrets buried within the city, and push deeper into the darkness threatening Bononia.

Players can dive into the haunting streets of Bononia today for $9.99USD / €9.99EUR / £8.50GBP, with a limited-time 10% launch discount available during the release window.

To mark the launch, players can watch the new launch trailer for a glimpse of the relentless combat, atmospheric world, and supernatural powers awaiting them in this haunting gothic adventure.

A Cursed City Reimagined

Vespera Bononia transforms the historic Italian city of Bologna into a surreal gothic nightmare. Drawing from real architectural references and digital scans, familiar landmarks such as basilicas, towers, cloisters, and underground catacombs are reborn as corrupted spaces filled with arcane dangers and shifting pathways.

The result is a city that feels both authentic and otherworldly, a living labyrinth constantly threatening to collapse under the weight of its dark magic.

Fast, Fluid, and Deadly

Combat in Vespera Bononia is designed to keep players constantly moving. Precise dodging, aggressive attacks, and mastery of magical abilities are essential to survival. The roguelite structure ensures that each run brings new enemies, powers, and challenges, while players can switch between four distinct characters mid-combat, adapting their strategy in real time.

Every defeat is simply another step deeper into the city’s mystery, and another chance to forge a stronger build.

Key Features

• Frenetic Third-Person Combat blending magic, ranged attacks, and bullet-hell encounters
• Four Playable Characters sharing a single evolving soul, switchable at any time
• Dynamic Roguelite Runs through shifting arcane dungeons beneath the city
• Deep Build Customization with relics, effigies, and evolving powers
• Four Distinct Biomes packed with grotesque enemies and deadly bosses

Vespera Bononia is available now on Steam for $9.99USD / €9.99EUR / £8.50GBP, with a limited-time 10% launch discount for early players.

Brave the haunted city, experiment with powerful builds, and uncover the secrets buried beneath Bononia’s twisted streets. Buy now on Steam.

Form your magical party of creatures and prepare to defend the land of Solaris in the upcoming Steam demo

Athens, Greece, March 13th, 2026 | Indie developer SOTO Game Studio is proud to announce that their debut game, Luminas: Parasite Reign, will be coming soon to Steam with a demo available on March 26th. Meet a whimsical cast of supernatural creatures and lead them through endless waves of parasites that corrupt their land. Select from various spell abilities on each run, learn passive effects, and unlock new Luminas that will gradually grow into each of their own evolutionary upgrades along the way.

A Party-Based Bullet Heaven
Luminas: Parasite Reign offers a new take on the Roguelite survivors genre, where survival relies entirely on party-based team building. Begin your run by selecting your Lumina of choice, such as Pyropeep the dragon, Shelly the Turtle, and more. Guide your party of up to three total members through enemy waves by exploring the map to awaken other Luminas and opening chests for power-ups. Draw from unique spell abilities, which will offer additional stat effects and boons to help you avoid being overwhelmed by ever-growing swarms. Each Lumina offers distinct elemental powers that will define your party’s playstyle. Pull DPS cards that deliver increasingly amplified damage, heavy offensive cards for explosive AoE blows, or opt for team-building buffs as a tanky support. Battle new parasites across diverse biomes, from icy caverns to volcanic zones. Complete arena events against bosses that require different strategies for defeat, using puzzle-solving or damage-led attacks, and offering special drop bonuses to aid your current run.

Mix and Match Synergy Combinations
Pair Luminas strategically to create the most powerful spell synergies possible within your party. As you continue to level up and draw, pair specific combinations together to earn main spell upgrades or unlock rare new spells to add to your overall arena. In between runs, exchange gold at the village for treasure and visit each Lumina’s hub to upgrade their skill trees. Test out different equippable items and party compositions to discover the best possible builds. Eventually, your Luminas will enter an Evolutionary state, where they will reveal new traits and stat enhancements. These evolutionary upgrades boost your power and encourage future build upgrades based on how you have assembled your team, so choose wisely!

Early Access Preview Coming Soon
The development team would love to invite players to participate in the upcoming Luminas: Parasite Reign Early Access preview demo, where they can share their feedback as the game is still in development. In the Early Access demo, players can experience the first map biome, get a feel for the Luminas, and face opening boss battles.

Full Game Features:

• Collect 8 different Luminas and optimize each of their individual elemental spell abilities to take your build in the direction of your choice. 
• 64 Spells Offering Endless Party-Based Synergy Combinations, allowing you to create the strongest synergies imaginable through different team layouts. 
• Over 90 Pieces of Treasure to pick and choose from, offering customizable equippable bonus effects across all Luminas.
• Unlock Skill Trees and Evolutionary Upgrades to continually adapt your team to the ever-growing threats on Solaris.
• 3 World Map Biomes, each offering promising new special bosses and parasitic encounters.

Be sure to wishlist Luminas: Parasite: Reign on Steam to receive all future updates.

A Tale of Two Kingdoms and Twisted Fates  

Set two centuries after the Rift War, the kingdoms of Azuria and Vermeil stand divided. Twin Rathalos unexpectedly hatch from a single egg, igniting a story of forbidden lands and twisted destinies.

The High-Voltage “Tethered” Roguelike Space Shooter Plugs Into All Major Consoles and PC in 2026

“Plug in, power up, and unleash chaos in this galaxy, your cable is your greatest weapon.”

Barcelona, Spain – March 13, 2026. Independent developer SIDRALGAMES is partnering with SelectaPlay and Entalto Publishing to officially reveal HYPERWIRED, a thrilling 2D roguelike set to electrify the gaming world in 2026. This announcement confirms a simultaneous global launch for PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in summer 2026.

HYPERWIRED redefines the classic top-down shooter with its unique “tethered” core mechanic. In a galaxy plunged into darkness, players pilot specialized ships that must physically plug into power sockets to recharge weapons and systems. While connected, you gain immense firepower but are restricted by the length of your cable, creating a high-stakes tactical balance between staying powered up and dodging relentless enemy swarms.

The game delivers a deep roguelike gameplay loop where every run is a new challenge. To survive, players must navigate procedurally generated sectors, master a rechargeable slow-mo system, and engage in intense combat against several massive bosses that guard the end of each galaxy. With over 250 bullet modifier combinations and 40+ upgrades available to customize their build, players will need to use their brains to come up with the best strategy to destroy their enemies and advance in the galaxy. In order to do so, they will have to choose from 10+ distinct ships, each with its own set of attributes, and rescue stranded pilots to build a supporting army.

Zaragoza-based SIDRALGAMES is a studio known for blending innovative mechanics with striking retro aesthetics. Following the success of El Gancho, the team has evolved their game-jam roots into a multi-platform development. With HYPERWIRED, they are building upon the mechanical foundation of their previous work to deliver their most polished and ambitious arcade experience to date.

As development surges toward its 2026 launch, players can support the project by wishlisting HYPERWIRED on their favourite platform. Follow the journey on social media to see the latest ship reveals and gameplay deep dives to prepare for this electrified experience to PC and consoles.
