Knights Peak and Windup Games are thrilled to release a new Deep Dive video for Hela, the heartwarming open-world adventure game set in a handcrafted world inspired by Scandinavian landscapes. The video offers an in-depth look at the enchanting world of Hela and its unique gameplay mechanics.
The Froggy Backpack is the heart of adventure in Hela, granting the tiny mouse extraordinary abilities to explore a world brimming with magic and wonder.
With the Frog Tongue, players can latch onto branches, beams, or ledges to swing, climb, or build momentum. It’s not just a tool for movement but a way to interact with the world, pulling objects closer, dragging them into place, or even forming bridges between players. When paired with forest creatures, the tongue becomes a lasso, harnessing their speed and strength for exhilarating rides.
By inflating the backpack, the mouse unfurls a paraglider, allowing for graceful descents and daring midair maneuvers. Mastering gliding, adjusting altitude, riding air currents, and executing precise turns unlocks the verticality of Hela’s world. On the ground, the inflated backpack transforms into a bouncy platform, perfect for reaching new heights alone or with friends.
A powerful plunge sends the mouse hurtling toward the ground with force, ideal for uncovering hidden paths, bouncing off trampolines, or simply creating a bit of joyful mayhem.
As a trusty companion, the backpack safely stores gathered items, ingredients, and tools, keeping them secure until they’re needed back at the witch’s cottage.
For solo players or smaller teams, the backpack’s magic allows the creation of Shades, echoing the player’s actions. Whether lassoing, bridging, or gliding, Shades ensure that the adventure is always a full team effort, even when playing alone.
Forest creatures may teach the player new abilities, helping them explore and open paths that were once out of reach, such as the double jump. The frog backpack serves as a constant companion, opening up playful and surprising ways to explore the world of Hela.
The Deep Dive video offers a comprehensive look at these features and more, providing fans with an exciting glimpse into the world of Hela.
In Hela, players take on the role of a small but agile mouse, helping a kind, wary witch care for the land she has protected for generations. Explore alone or together across various environments like forests, meadows, wetlands, and burrows. The witch provides the player with a backpack infused with magic, enabling them to explore further, reach higher, and interact with the world in new, and sometimes relaxing ways.
Hela, the recipient of two gamescom 2025 awards for “Most Entertaining” and “Most Wholesome“, is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5 and PC in 2026.

The debut title from storytelling veterans Metaphor Games lands on PC later this year, inviting players to investigate a series of mysterious murders committed on the neon-washed streets of the decaying Netherveil City
Istanbul, Türkiye – February 26, 2026 – Metaphor Games and Shoreline Games have today announced today that dice-based narrative RPG Celestial Return will launch on PC via Steam on May 7, 2026. Revealed as part of IGN Fan Fest, the new trailer showcases more of the choice-based and dice-driven gameplay that awaits players later this year.
In Celestial Return, players will step into the well-worn loafers of Detective Howard, and, armed with a pocket full of dice, a sentient smart-mouthed rose, and a rusty badge, they’ll take to the neon-washed streets of the Lovecraft-influenced Netherveil City to solve a string of mysterious, grisly murders. Not all is as it seems though – corpses won’t stay dead, secrets won’t stay buried, and the corruption oozing from Netherveil is set to blow.
Wake up, and step into the world of Netherveil City with the latest trailer:
Expanding the world of Celestial Return beyond its digital landscape, Metaphor Games has also released the first in a series of Webtoon comics that delve deeper into the seedy underbelly of Netherveil City, showcasing the stunning hand-drawn art used in game, that blends the iconic precision of manga with the raw nerve of American comics to create something wholly new. New comics will be released periodically in the run-up to launch, each showcasing a fragment of the story leading up to the start of Celestial Return.
For players wanting to take to the blood soaked streets of Netherveil City, there is a demo currently available on Steam that showcases around 45 minutes of the narrative driven adventure, just a taste of what awaits at launch in May.
Celestial Return Key Features:
Doomed Gameplay Loop: Earn and spend your dice while leveling up your own personality, to gain the edge needed to survive conversational combat. It’s sometimes violent, but always desperate.
Simple Currency: Dice aren’t just tools. They’re oxygen. Earn ’em, spend ’em, lose ’em. Hoard them too long, and opportunities vanish. Roll recklessly, and resources burn.
Welcome the Crossroads: Discover a vast sci-fi story, rich with twists, turns, mind-bending crossroads, and a branching narrative fully shaped by your decisions.
Sounds & Visuals to Bleed For: Immerse yourself in a completely hand-drawn world where manga’s precision meets the raw nerve of American comics
Choices Matter: Your choices are the weapons and your mind the battlefield. Decide the outcome with each small step. Just remember: Intelligence picks locks in silence. Virtue pleads for mercy. Foolishness laughs at the abyss.

A plague-ravaged world in the early 20th century conceals untold treasures beneath its depths, but only the most ice-veined, fearless fisherman can turn a profit in the Submerged Lands. As murky waters blur the lines between predator and prey, gas up a small-but-mighty vessel and trawl through ominous waterways teeming with mutant life…with an acquired taste for human flesh.
Scrounge for materials and parts on land, then cast a line to reel in dozens of sordid sea creatures, each with varying value, rarity and strength levels. There’s always a bigger fish — start with simpler catches like the peaceful Softgrazer, then upgrade equipment capable of landing deadlier, more valuable predatory fish like the Bristler.
After a long day (or night) of fishing, cash in the day’s catch with the ichthyic shopkeeper in exchange for cold hard cash. Purchase parts to turn a basic boat into a floating fortress by both strengthening its hull and boosting its speed to chase down (or escape) even tougher hunts that lie ahead.
Preparation is key, as no one enters these waters at the top of the food chain. Craft plenty of bait, harpoons and health kits before every run. Unlock and equip both special lures and stronger lines capable of paralyzing dangerous fish and survive heavier hauls.
“DREADMOOR is a love-letter to our studio’s two obsessions: classic horror movies, and fishing!” said Rostislav Fedorov, CEO of Dream Dock Games. “We have so much more to share in the coming months. Stay tuned!”

Expanding the POSTAL universe played by millions, Flesh & Wire introduces a new anti-heroine
TUCSON, Ariz. – Feb. 26, 2026 – Running With Scissors, the (in)famous creator of the POSTAL series, which has amassed millions of fans over nearly three decades, announces its first-ever spinoff title. Flesh & Wire, a dark and violent return to POSTAL’soriginal theme and setting, will arrive on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and GOG in 2027, as revealed in the IGN Fan Fest showcase.
Join forces with Angel, a seemingly normal college student suddenly swept up in a fever dream of conspiracy, blood, and vengeance. Along with her loyal sphinx cat Solomon, Angel runs afoul of the law, military, and an ominous cult. Discover the truth about her connection to the events of the first POSTAL game – and seek revenge on the series’ protagonist, a man dubbed the Postal Dude.
As she trails the vicious and enigmatic figure across Arizona, Angel’s past traumas come back to haunt her. Venture into the Dreamscape, a surreal and otherworldly hallucinatory state where memories, monsters, and Angel’s immediate surroundings blend together and warp into a grotesque nightmare version of reality.
Summon every bit of grit, determination, and buckshot available. Angel will need every spare bullet and bandage to get the answers she’s seeking and vengeance for the tragedy that changed her life forever.
“Flesh & Wire is an idea we’ve been talking about internally and with our community for a long time,” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. “With POSTAL, we’ve explored satire and our own sense of humor as the series has progressed. Now with Flesh & Wire, we’re returning to our dark, psychological horror roots – another genre we trailblazed.”
Flesh & Wire will be launching on PC via Steam, GOG, and PlayStation 5 in 2027. For more on Running With Scissors and the POSTAL universe, check out the official website, and follow Running With Scissors on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Discord.
About Running With Scissors
Founded in 1996 and still defiantly independent in Tucson, Arizona, Running With Scissors makes the games your mom warned you about. Best known for the long-running POSTAL series—an unapologetic blend of dark satire, slapstick ultraviolence, and free-speech mischief—RWS has steered the franchise through bans, cult fandom, a Hollywood adaptation, and more than two decades of community-driven mayhem. With a mantra of “pure, politically incorrect entertainment,” the studio continues to self-publish on PC and consoles, stream weekly dev shows, and license fresh spins on its rowdy universe.
Games are supposed to be fun; I think we can all universally agree on that. Fun can come from many different directions: either by being brutally challenging, featuring unique gameplay mechanics, offering ridiculously rich side content, or having an engaging replay value. But when you really come to think of it, I’m genuinely not sure if I’ve played many titles that I could accurately label as just… flat-out funny. Sure, there are a few rare exceptions out there, such as South Park: The Stick of Truth, BattleBlock Theater, or the legendary Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Earning a well-deserved spot on that exclusive list is also the first High On Life. It’s a game that already starts with the absolutely hilarious, unhinged premise of an alien cartel enslaving humanity strictly to use them to……uhm, smoke them as weed. You just gotta see it to believe it.
So imagine my surprise when the trailer for this game suddenly dropped out of nowhere, promising a significantly bigger and vastly better universe to explore. Honestly, I would have been equally hooked even with a simple promise of “more of the same,” especially since the first game managed to hit that perfect sweet spot of being constantly funny without ever overstaying its welcome….And for those out of the loop, Squanch Games is a studio founded by Justin Roiland, one of the Rick & Morty co-creators, so you can already imagine what blend of humor we’re all in.
Story
After saving humanity from the interstellar cartel of weed human-smoking enjoyer aliens in the first game, you are now officially recognized as the greatest bounty hunter in the universe (which, honestly, is still a phenomenally weird sentence to type out, but let’s just roll with it). Life at the top is exactly as glorious as you’d expect. You’re raking in the intergalactic talk show appearances, locking down lucrative sponsorship deals for questionable space-energy drinks, and swimming in fame, fortune, and an absurd amount of alien cash. You’re practically the universe’s deadliest influencer. All that is good until your sister Lizzie is kidnapped by an evil pharmaceutical conglomerate, and now you find yourself on the wrong side of the law. The hunter becomes the hunted, the bounteer (?) becomes the bounty, and to quote the great philosopher Billie Eilish: “you are now the bad guy” (disclaimer: might not be the actual quote).
Gameplay
While it’s not quite a full-blown, hundreds-of-hours sandbox just yet, High On Life 2 offers significantly more freedom when it comes to deciding your mission approach and getting lost exploring the side content. Instead of being forced down linear alien hallways like in the first game, you’re actually given the breathing room to tackle objectives your way and stumble upon some secrets and easter eggs. The developers clearly didn’t want to rely too heavily on the already established, safe formula. To keep things fresh, you can expect an entirely new arsenal of non-stop talking weapons, each bringing its own specific brand of neurotic, hilarious, and mildly unhinged commentary to your choices. Alongside your chatty firearms, the galaxy is populated with a fresh cast of delightfully annoying side characters who exist purely to test your patience and annoy you to no end.
But hands down, one of the best and most unexpected new additions in the game is the brand-new skateboard traversal system. Early on in the campaign, you face off against (and naturally, defeat) a rival, human-weed-smoking bounty hunter. Your ultimate reward? You get to loot his slick space skateboard. From that moment on, you can casually lipslide, grind, manual, and kickflip your way from one end of the map to the other. Now, full disclosure: you pretty much gain absolutely nothing from doing this. No sick combo multipliers are flashing on the screen, no hidden collectible letters to hunt down, and zero RPG progression levels tied to landing your sick flips. But is it still insanely fun? You bet it is!
Visuals
This is something that took me completely by surprise, and trust me, I don’t mean that in a good way. In fact, I could easily write an entire, completely separate essay just venting about the technical performance in this game. If you think it is merely “bad”………my brothers in Christ, you have absolutely no idea what bad even looks like anymore. Calling the optimization in High On Life 2 merely “bad” is the understatement of the century. It’s truly abysmal, it’s mindboggling, and it fundamentally defies every known law of logic in this universe.
I recently built a pretty powerful, high-end gaming PC and, thankfully, I was lucky enough to put it all together right before RAM prices decided to skyrocket to oblivion. Yet, this is the very first title where I had to do some agonizing, sweat-inducing tinkering in the settings menu just to get a somewhat stable framerate. I was desperately juggling between DLSS and AMD FSR options, aggressively upscaling, tragically downscaling, constantly tweaking the native resolution, flipping frame generation on and off, switching textures from low to high, and then sadly back to low again. I tried basically anything and everything I could think of just to get this game into a barely playable state. I actually purposely stalled on publishing this review for a while, desperately hoping some miraculous day-one hotfix or a massive optimization patch would swoop in to save it and up the performance to an acceptable level. Spoiler alert: that mythical update never happened.
Out of sheer curiosity, I even went out of my way to redownload the first High On Life (which I last played back in 2023) just to see if I had played that original title with thick, rose-tinted glasses. It is genuinely bizarre and a little heartbreaking how much better the overall performance, the framerate stability, and even the visuals in the first game are compared to this completely unoptimized sequel. The original runs like absolute butter, whereas the sequel feels like it’s constantly chugging through a swamp of broken code. I honestly don’t know what kind of messy engine tweaks the developers tried to pull off here, but whatever it is, please don’t do it anymore. Seriously, just stop.
Audio
While the game’s overall audio segment is not in such an abysmal, hair-pulling state as the visual performance, it still leaves a whole lot to be desired. Since I already had to redownload the first High On Life for the sake of a side-by-side performance comparison (and honestly, out of pure, unadulterated desperation just to see something run smoothly), the audio & sound effects downgrade became glaringly obvious. To be fair, the actual voice acting and the trademark humor of the talking guns are still entirely on par with the previous game. They still hurl insults and act unhinged with the perfect comedic timing. However, the actual weapon sound effects are drastically lacking that satisfying, heavy “oomph” you expect when blasting aliens. Instead of firing off impactful sci-fi artillery that rattles your headphones, it genuinely felt more like I was playing a weird, M-rated version of Splatoon. You are essentially just using plastic paintball guns to coat enemies in colorful goop until they eventually get annoyed and just decide to die out of sheer boredom. Honorable mention goes to the enemy AI that will either stand there or run around in circles while you just shoot in their direction.
Overall
While the game undeniably feels like a massive upgrade in terms of a wilder story and significantly more bizarre content, the glaring performance drawbacks are such a serious, game-breaking issue that I honestly cannot recommend it in this abysmal state. It is incredibly frustrating to see so much potential buried under a technical mess. Do yourself a favor and wait for a few major patches, crossing your fingers and hoping the developers might actually turn this ship around. But right now, if anything, the true value of High On Life 2 lies in reminding everyone just how fantastic its predecessor was.

As RuneScape enters its 25th year in 2026, we are accelerating our strategy to expand RuneScape into a broader ecosystem of forever games and connected experiences, grounded in a renewed commitment to integrity and fair play. This includes the reduction of monetisation mechanics, as well as the launch of RuneScape: Dragonwilds into Steam Early Access in 2025, representing a major step in building a multi-genre future for the RuneScape universe. Jagex: The RuneScape Company remains focused on building enduring worlds, empowering player-led innovation, and laying the foundations for the boldest era in RuneScape’s history.
