The cursed land will welcome its first groups of explorers this summer.

Lesquin, France, 9 March 2026 – Following a noteworthy announcement and a first glimpse of gameplay during the November Xbox Showcase, ACE Team and NACON, in collaboration with four experts of the genre, unveil what makes The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu unique: a purely cooperative gameplay experience, featuring a group of explorers during the Conquistador era, who must survive horror and madness. The Mound will be available on July 15, 2026, on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

You and your companions are on the deck of your galleon. El Capitán has given you a contract to fulfill: gather as much wealth as possible, find a missing person, locate an ancient fort, and, if possible, return safe and sound from this perilous expedition. As soon as you set foot on the shore, at the edge of the jungle, a vague sense of dread takes hold. In this jungle, treasures and mysteries await you, but so do unspeakable entities ready to make you regret ever setting foot in their territory.

At the beginning of each expedition in The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, players form a group of up to 4 explorers and choose a contract to complete. Their mission is to collect treasures and identify new areas of the island to explore. They must act quickly because the longer the expedition lasts, the more numerous and dangerous the creatures become. The inventory is limited, and the basic weapons encourage avoiding conflict and defending oneself rather than playing aggressively.

The other danger that awaits the adventurers is the loss of their sanity. Faced with the cosmic horrors they confront, the players gradually fall victim to hallucinations: an ally appears as a monstrosity (or vice versa), an apparently harmless plain is actually a deadly pit, bushes seem to come to life, a rain of blood falls without warning… If the explorers return alive from their journey, El Capitán will be pleased… But he already has other contracts to offer them.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror short novel, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu invites players to form a squad of 2 to 4 members to embark on an uncharted continent in search of a legendary city containing invaluable treasures.

The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu launches on July 15, 2026, on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

SWEDEN — MARCH 5, 2026 — CRG Studio has announced that its free-to-play online steampunk action RPG, Crystalfall, will launch into Early Access on March 20, 2026 on Steam.

Crystalfall recently ranked among the Top 50 most-played demos during Steam Next Fest, earning standout recognition and strong player engagement ahead of its Early Access launch.

Set in a world shattered by a mysterious asteroid impact, Crystalfall drops players into a post-apocalyptic wasteland powered by volatile crystal energy. As mutated survivors, players will delve into dangerous dungeons, harvest powerful crystal shards, and chase legendary loot in a game built around deep customization, endless progression, and theorycrafting-driven builds. Inspired by genre staples like Path of Exile and Diablo 2, Crystalfall blends old-school ARPG depth with modern systemic design.

Crystalfall is designed for players who love build experimentation and long-term character progression. Its systems are layered and interconnected with a big talent tree allowing for broad strategic direction, while skills themselves are lootable and come with their own procedural skill trees. These skills can be further customized through rarity upgrades and socketable modifiers known as Skill Crests. Weapons and armor feature alpha and omega affixes that reshape base item properties, adding another dimension to build crafting.

The game uses a flexible character framework that allows players to shape their combat identity, whether combining pistol-and-shield setups, wielding dual steampunk staffs, or engineering entirely unexpected synergies between gear, skills, and passives.

The March 20 Early Access release expands that foundation into a fully free-to-play experience featuring multiple classes, expanded campaign content, and early endgame systems.

At launch, players can expect:

• Three playable classes
• Five campaign acts
• Early-stage endgame content
• Early-stage player trading
• Localization in 11 languages

Together with publisher PlayPark, the team has launched a community-driven milestone campaign where players can earn Exclusive Early Access LAVA Cosmetics*! To learn more about the campaign, you can visit their steam announcement.
