Today, Battlefield REDSEC announced a series of updates set to roll out in September as REDSEC expands with Cash Cups, Open Series, the return of Elite Competition, the unveiling of a brand new Rapid Royale Mode and the introduction of Proximity Chat.

New Mode Unveiled – Rapid Royale
Coming in Season 5, Rapid Royale is a new variant of Battle Royale built around faster matches, more frequent engagements, and less time spent searching for the next fight. Built on the same foundation as REDSEC Battle Royale, Rapid Royale turns up the pace with reduced player counts, smaller play spaces, faster-moving circles, and shorter match lengths. Whether players are looking for a quicker way to jump into the action or simply want a different way to experience Battle Royale, Rapid Royale offers a new and innovative way to deploy into Battlefield REDSEC.

Proximity Chat Lands on September 15
Starting September 15, players will be hearing a lot more from the squads around them as the first iteration of Proximity Chat arrives, and will initially be available in Battle Royale. Proximity Chat creates new opportunities for unexpected encounters and player-driven moments that can completely change the outcome of a match. 

As always, Battlefield Studios is eager to hear player thoughts on the initial launch of Proximity Chat, and will gather feedback directly from players to evaluate audio range, clarity, moderation tools, and the overall impact the feature has on gameplay before expanding it further.

Battlefield REDSEC Season 4 Cash Cups
Beginning September 19, the Battlefield REDSEC Cash Cups kick off Season 4 competition and runs through October 10. These weekly tournaments challenge squads to compete in Battle Royale and take their first step into organized competition ahead of the return of the Open Series and Elite Series. Across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas, teams will compete for a share of $150,000 USD in total prize money, split evenly across all three regions. Prize pools increase as the competition progresses, leading into Season 5 and the return of larger competitive events.

Open Series: The Road to Elite
The Battlefield REDSEC Open Series is designed to be a starting point, a proving ground for those players looking to break into the Elite Series. It gives squads across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas a chance to show up and show out in tournament play and earn a spot in the Elite Series. The Open Series runs from October 24 through November 21 and features three Open Series Events, each played across two days. Every Event begins with up to 384 teams per region and unfolds across multiple rounds of Battle Royale competition. Teams compete in 24-team lobbies, with the top 12 advancing from each round until only the strongest squads remain.

Elite Series Returns in Season 5 With Over $1.3M USD in Prizing
The Elite Series represents the highest level of Battlefield REDSEC competition. It brings together some of the top squads in REDSEC, including returning teams from the original Elite Series and new challengers who earn their place through the Open Series. This season, the Elite Series will feature a $1,338,000 USD global prize pool, with $446,000 USD awarded in each region across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas. Season 5 will run from December 4, 2026 – January 16, 2027 and also introduces several changes aimed at creating a more focused competitive experience.

About Battlefield
Battlefield is a storied franchise renowned for uncompromising combat gameplay, and all-out warfare, for over two decades. 100 million players and 5 billion hours played later, Battlefield Studios is defining the future of the first-person shooter with the biggest launch in franchise history with Battlefield 6, and a new era beginning with Battlefield REDSEC.

New update will feature Greek aviation and ground vehicles, and much more

Gaijin Entertainment is happy to announce that the next major content update, “Sky Odyssey,” will be available for the military online action game War Thunder in mid-September. It will introduce new Greek aviation and ground forces subtrees, as well as dozens of other signature vehicles, such as India’s first domestically designed and built main battle tank, the Arjun Mk 1; the modern British AW159 Wildcat HMA2 helicopter; and the iconic HMS Duke of York battleship. The game will also feature a new map set in the Falkland Islands, improvements to bombers’ damage models, new MFDs and HMDs for modern aviation, and more.

The new map is based on the Darwin Hill area near the settlement of Darwin, the site of fierce clashes between British commandos and Argentine forces. The archipelago’s landscape here is distinctive, with a treeless plain biome, rugged rocky coasts, and yellow thickets of gorse, making it a favorite among tourists from around the world. The buildings are predominantly single-story, and due to the harsh climate, almost every farm has its own greenhouses and fenced enclosures for poultry and livestock.

Greece’s aviation lineup spans from mid-20th-century aircraft all the way to some of the most modern combat jets currently serving in the Hellenic Air Force. The odyssey begins with the SB2C-5 Helldiver dive bomber, which was delivered to Greece in the spring of 1949. Closer to the modern era, we have the A-7H and A-7E, specialized land-based attack versions of the Corsair II developed specifically for Greece. These aircraft can carry a huge variety of weaponry for anti-tank missions, but can also attack air defense systems using Shrike anti-radiation missiles while still protecting themselves against fighters with Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. At the top of Greece’s lineup sits the Rafale EG (AESA). It’s a perfect blend of excellent flight performance, cutting-edge avionics, and the most advanced weaponry available.

Greece’s ground vehicle lineup includes useful imported vehicles such as the Soviet-made Osa-AKM and Tor-M1 SAM systems, along with the German Leopard 2A6 HEL modification — a unique variant built for the Greek Army, featuring reinforced upper glacis armor. Both the Greek aviation and ground vehicle subtrees will be part of the Israeli tech tree, and this combination will provide players with more tactical options.

A modernized “Super Lynx” development, the AW159 is a multi-role naval helicopter with a huge selection of air-launched munitions. Much like its predecessor, the Lynx, the Wildcat has a tremendous amount of speed and agility at its disposal, allowing it to quickly get into position and reposition as needed. The weapons available to the Wildcat allow you to switch roles mid-game based on your team’s needs. The Spike NLOS is better suited for destroying tanks, while the Martlet is more effective against SAM/SPAA systems, helicopters, and lighter vehicles. This makes the Wildcat particularly useful in the later stages of a match, when it can clear out enemy air defenses and give your team’s aviation more freedom to operate.

More information on the update’s content is available on the official War Thunder website.

Crossbreed alien flora and fauna in this otherworldly sci-fi adventure!

Los Angeles, California – September 8, 2026 – Developer Frozen Way Studio, in partnership with publisher Snail Games USA, have today launched their survival sandbox game Honeycomb: The World Beyond on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series platforms for $29.99 / £26.75 / €30.49. Prepare for a journey of scientific exploration and survival on an awe-inspiring planet that can be both incredibly friendly – and slightly hostile.

Honeycomb: The World Beyond puts players in the astro boots of Hennessy, a pioneer forging an expedition on an uninhabited, mysterious planet that could be the key to saving mankind. Explore the world of Sota7 and uncover its secrets. From calm forests and vibrant jungles to vast fields spread at the foot of a mysterious volcano, every trek through its diverse terrain is sure to leave a lasting impression. Carve out a home for yourself and use that safe space to further your research. Play your part in saving the Earth’s ecosystem through experimenting with innovative bioengineering mechanics on Sota7.

Gathering information about an ecosystem is a crucial part of a bioengineer’s work. Analyze samples and procure resources carefully in order to find familiar patterns and understand this world. This will help you create new, fascinating life forms that will harmonize with its alien environment. Hennessy’s understanding of Sota7’s new ecosystem will be fundamental in solving the problems back on Earth. Use innovative in-game mechanics such as allogamy and grafting to create hybrids that could change the world. Unleash your inner scientist and become a master of the art of crossbreeding.

A true explorer needs a safe haven to rest and contemplate if they’re to succeed. Plan and build your perfect modular base as a means of shelter, as well as a lab to carry out your experiments, report progress, and rest. Inspired by natural shapes found in Art Nouveau, the modular design of your base isn’t just a visual feature, but also a strategic advantage that allows you to adapt to your changing needs as an explorer and a scientist. Nestled within your base lies a sanctuary of profound significance: the laboratory. Here you can grow as a scientist and bioengineer. Gather resources and create varied laboratory devices to experiment with samples collected during the exploration of the world. Cultivate plants to decorate your place as well as yield a satisfying harvest. Ensure your base is a habitat that matches its surroundings in form and function. 

Frozen Way Studio has partnered with NVIDIA to integrate advanced features such as NVIDIA RTXDI, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 with Ray Reconstruction, Multi Frame Generation and Reflex to deliver a visually stunning and immersive experience.

“Honeycomb: The World Beyond is a vast game full of seemingly endless possibilities, so we’re thrilled to watch players uncover its mysteries,” said developers at Frozen Way. “There’s so much to discover and create, using Honeycomb’s unique crossbreeding mechanic, and we can’t wait to see what wild, innovative solutions players come up with as they explore Sota 7!”

Honeycomb: The World Beyond key features:

• Explore the unknown – each corner of Sota7 offers diverse biomes with different plants and animals for you to discover. Explorer, let curiosity guide your steps! Encounter the kaleidoscope of life forms, learn about them, and apply that knowledge to further research.
• Awaken your inner bioengineer – in Honeycomb: The World Beyond you are both observer and creator. Find and experiment with new fauna and flora species to unlock their potential.
• Witness the synergy of nature and science – crossbreed various plants or animals using bioengineering mechanics such as grafting and allogamy..
• Build your perfect base –  to survive and conduct experiments, you need to build your base of operations. Gather materials and set up your own sanctuary – an oasis in a foreign world. If you’re not a keen builder, utilize the Planning Mode – which will do the job for you!
• Arrange the laboratory – the heart of your base is a lab, where you can experiment with collected samples.
• Find hidden riches – remember that Sota7 is a unique yet challenging place. You should always be on the lookout for better resources!

The house is yours on one condition: stay. out. of. the. basement

PARIS (Sept. 8, 2026) – Solo developer Andrew Morrish (Kingsway) and publisher The Arcade Crew (Drop Duchy, Abyssus) today announced Bad House, a genre-blending, auto battling adventure launching on PC next year. The previous tenant of your brand-new house left a few things behind, which are yours to claim. Just… don’t go into the basement: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3557870/

You’re going to go in, aren’t you? Well… underneath the seemingly ordinary house your journey begins in an ever-changing, dungeon-like basement filled with deadly monsters determined to stop your descent. Choose your character, set your skills and venture down. Combat takes place automatically, with the skills you’ve set working in tandem alongside the items you’ve strategically hidden around the room – including bombs, spells, traps and summons – to mow down all that stand in your way. Just know, it’s rare that those who descend into the basement find their way back out.

DO NOT LET THE HOUSE EAT YOU As you progress through floor after floor you’ll level up, with the option to upgrade your skills and unlock powerful new ones as your run progresses. Push deeper into the basement for greater, more powerful rewards, or extract before it’s too late – safely banking your loot on the main floor of the house. Every expedition is a gamble. Management is not responsible for any items abandoned in the basement.

Just how far down does this basement go? Why is it constantly changing, and what secrets are hiding below? All that and more will be revealed when Bad House launches next year.

THE HOUSE IS MADE OF BLOOD AND BONES

We hope you’ll feel right at home in your new safe space*. For more information on Bad House,follow The Arcade Crew on X and visit https://www.thearcadecrew.com/. 

*Please note the basement is not considered part of the safe space.

About SPRAWL zero

A Y2K FPS Built on Classic Console DNA

SPRAWL Zero is a first-person shooter inspired by 2000s console FPS games. Both the aesthetics and design sensibility call back to the Golden Age where the genre evolved from shooting in corridors to building worlds.

A City on the Brink

You play as FIVE, a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier controlled by the Junta. Your directive is to eliminate SILAS, leader of the radical techno-religious group IMAGO-DEI. The city will plunge into chaos as all factions known and unknown grasp for the reins. Reconcile your truths or succumb to the SPRAWL.

Fight Smart, Not Just Fast

Combat in SPRAWL Zero is fast-paced but grounded. Enemy squads will communicate and coordinate to wrestle the advantage. Flanks, covering fire, and grenades will flush you out, creating dynamic firefights inspired by classics like F.E.A.R. and Halo.

In your hands, FIVE must outsmart and outmaneuver the opposition using any advantage possible. Catch their bullets and throw them right back with the Gravity Shield, or bend your shots midair with Bullet-Time for inhuman precision. A massive arsenal of weapons and FIVE’s cybernetics are your tools of destruction.

Gravity-Based Combat Systems

Gravity Gloves, Gravity Shield, and Rushdown expand combat beyond gunplay, enabling aggressive pushes, defensive play, and physics-driven encounters. No problem has just one solution.

Designed for Player Choice

Handcrafted levels feature multiple paths, verticality, and alternate approaches, rewarding experimentation and replayability. Push aggressively, play tactically from cover, or dominate encounters through physics-based combat. Player agency was a fundamental pillar of Y2K design and SPRAWL Zero accommodates players to find their own niche.

Key Features

• Truly dynamic FPS combat inspired by classic console shooters
• Smart, coordinated enemy AI that flanks, communicates, and adapts
• Physics interactions with gravity-based combat systems that expand play beyond gunfire
• Player expression to find your own path to victory
• Stylish Bullet-Time to never miss a shot
• Gravity Shield to catch and return enemy gunfire
• Rushdown enemies with invulnerability and destructive force
• Wide arsenal of over 40 weapons with distinct roles and mastery paths
• Diverse roster of enemies, with multiple factions spread across grounded and airborne, organic and mechanical.
• Masterfully crafted levels with multiple routes and verticality
• Gritty, grounded cyberpunk world and tone
• Authentic Y2K aesthetics and graphics, paying homage to the golden era
• Industry-leading sound design
• Original soundtrack of intense music hearkening back to the early 2000s

Wild West inspired weapon pack arrives 15 September

STOCKHOLM – 8 September, 2026 – Avalanche Studios Group today announced the Old West Weapon Pack, the latest DLC for theHunter: Call of the Wild, will launch on 15 September for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store.

This latest pack takes players back in time with three powerful, iconic 19th-century classic weapons: a hard-hitting rifle, a double-barreled shotgun, and a single-action revolver. Each weapon is designed to help the player hunt the wild just as the pioneers did, surviving on the edge of the civilised world.

The Old West Weapon Pack features three firearms:

• Hween .45-90 Buffalo – based on the iconic Sharps Model 1874, the most legendary single-shot rifle of the time. This weapon delivers massive destructive force within short-to-middle ranges. A deliberate firearm that rewards absolute precision, it features highly detailed animations, an adaptive dual-mode Buckhorn sight. Choose between versatile Cast Lead Flat Nose ammo for forgiving trajectories on medium-to-large game, or high-impact Soft Lead bullets that maximise stopping power on massive game at 100-150 meters. It also includes two variants of a period-appropriate rifle scope for long-range accuracy.
• Humphrey 10G Coach Gun – this thunderous double-barreled shotgun fires heavy 10-gauge brass black-powder shells, blasting a massive, high-damage pellet spread. While its thick white muzzle smoke and unpredictable scatter demand you get close, its external hammers and partial reload, swapping only the spent shell offers great tactile feedback. Fire 10GA Brass Black Powder loaded with Birdshot for small game (classes 1–2), Buckshot for medium game up to bears (classes 4–7), or heavy Slugs for ultimate hard-hitting, short-range penetration on massive game (classes 6–9).
• Maijo .44-40 Special – Unleash the ultimate Wild West sidearm fantasy. Based on the legendary top-break Schofield revolver, the single-action Maijo .44-40 trades a sliver of raw power for lightning-fast, superior handling. Its internal automatic extractor purges instantly all six spent casings the moment you break open the frame. Engineered to dominate animal classes 2–5, the Maijo can be loaded with .44-40 Black Powder for a deep,  low-frequency boom that shakes the wilderness, or .44-40 Full Metal Jacket smokeless ammo for a fast, snappy recoil pattern and elite, high-velocity penetration.

The Old West Weapon Pack is available to pre-order and wishlist now for €4.99/$4.99 across all platforms.

theHunter: Call of the Wild’s new DLC is out 15 September on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store. For more information, visit the game’s website.

• Star Trek: 25th Anniversary • Armikrog • Big Box Collection • Printable Big Boxes •

September 8th, 2026, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Armikrog are the two newest additions to the GOG Preservation Program. They’re joined by three games already maintained by the program — Descent, Hitman: Codename 47, and Myst — all five of which are part of this wave together — and this time, we’re preserving more than just the code.

Here’s what’s new: every one of these five games now comes with an interactive 3D scan of its real, physical box art. We had the actual boxes scanned — front, back, spine, the works — and turned into rotatable 3D models you can download after purchase and open right in the 3D viewer that’s already built into Windows and Mac. No extra software, no plugins. Just spin the box around on your screen like you’re holding it.

And if you’d rather hold the real thing, we’ve got you covered there too. In collaboration with Big Box Collection — a one-person passion project that’s been turning real game boxes into 3D scans since 2015 — we’re delivering flat, printable versions of the same box art, so you can cut, fold, and glue your own physical big box at home. A proper papercraft project for anyone who misses shelves full of PC game boxes. If you want to know more about this amazing project, take a look at the exclusive interview with its creator HERE.

Physical media doesn’t survive the way software can — boxes get lost, crushed, thrown out. Scanning them, and letting you print your own, is preservation in a different shape: the same mission that keeps these games running on modern PCs, applied to the objects they used to come in.

If no one gives you the choice to own a physical copy, take matters into your own hands — and paired with GOG’s DRM-free installers, no one can ever take the games you paid for away from you.

About the GOG Preservation Program

The GOG Preservation Program is an official stamp on classic games that GOG has improved, with a commitment from GOG to maintain their compatibility.

About GOG

Founded in 2008, GOG is a leading European platform for digital game distribution that lets you legally and safely buy, download, and play the best editions of classic games, as well as newer releases and indies. Its mission is to Make Games Live Forever, which includes ensuring iconic games remain compatible with modern systems and supporting game preservation efforts.

The “New Horizon” update brings new weapons and vehicle parts, unusual PvP brawls, additional battle scenarios and a redesigned storage interface

Gaijin Entertainment announces the launch of “New Horizon,” a new season in the post-apocalyptic online action game Crossout. This time, the Engineers, Steppenwolfs and Scavengers are forced to join forces against the treacherous Aris and the Ravagers. Survivors can unlock a new collection of vehicle parts and weapons, experiment with new combat builds, take part in a series of unusual brawls and encounter additional scenarios in regular PvP battles.

One of the most unusual additions of the season is the “MVP Flagship” air cushion, a massive new car part capable of carrying armored cars across the battlefield at speeds of up to 70 km/h. Its perk increases cabin power when enemies are nearby, making it especially useful for aggressive builds that prefer to fight right in the middle of the action.

The new arsenal also includes the “Smasher” cannon, which fires enormous naval cannonballs. During the first 125 metres of flight, the projectile gradually gains damage and impulse, rewarding survivors who can line up powerful long-range shots. The “ATGM Cornet” launcher, meanwhile, fires manoeuvrable missiles guided by a laser designator. Pilots can also release the guidance early to split the projectile into four explosive fragments, giving the weapon an alternative way to attack targets over a small area. There is also the MPR-8 “Slice” radar capable of periodically detecting concealed and invisible opponents, and the heavy “Wildhog” cabin, whose bonuses change depending on whether nearby allies or enemies outnumber each other.

“New Horizon” also launches a succession of special PvP brawls. For example, in the new “No signal” mode, player names and minimap icons disappear, while friendly fire is enabled. The color of an armored car becomes the only reliable way to distinguish friend from foe, so identifying the target before pulling the trigger is just as important as good aim. The new “Blind fire” brawl takes visibility problems even further: every participant is invisible. Firing a weapon, activating a module, taking damage or colliding with something reveals the vehicle, while attentive players can still hunt invisible rivals by listening for sounds and watching for dust clouds. At certain moments, everyone is temporarily revealed, turning careful stalking into an instant firefight.

The “New Horizon” season and its Battle Pass will remain available through November 25. The Deluxe Battle Pass has also been expanded with instant access to recipes for upgraded seasonal parts, additional Bearings and other bonuses.

More information is available on the official Crossout website.
