Get back in the fight as a retired war bot in an FPS/tower defense hybrid

[France] – February 24, 2026 – Out of Time and indie.io are thrilled to announce that AI.VI will release on Steam on March 18, 2026. Players don the shell of titular war bot, suddenly pulled out of their comfortable retirement mining batteries on the desert moon of Sohot. It’s high noon and high time to junk corporate robo-goons in industrial quantities in a genre-blending shooter! 

The foe is the nefarious P.A.S.C.A.L. Gigacorporation, an intergalactic enterprise with one goal: Maximizing profits through whatever means necessary, such as an entirely voluntary merger under duress executed by lots and lots of corporate combat robots. Sohot was supposed to be just another entry in the ledger, a footnote in the endless campaign of acquisitions squeezed dry like a tube of servomotor lubricant – until they ran into AI.VI. 

A war robot built in the good old days to unleash incredible violence and live to tell the tale, the invasion pulls him out of retirement and puts right in the middle of the corporate assault. With a pickbow in hand and a handful of trusted revolutionary workerbots, he sets out to set things right by turning hordes of  P.A.S.C.A.L. shock troops into mountains of scrap. 

Blending first person shooters with tower defense, AI.VI lets players decide on how to junk the incoming robotic hordes, from spilling oil with crushing melee attacks, through ranged attacks using a variety of weapons ranging from outlandish to ludicrous, to traps and defenses that turn corporate assets into second-hand parts – and anywhere in between! 

The four basic elements of the robot world – fire, ice, acid, and electricity – add another layer of strategy, enabling players to mix and match to gain the upper hand over the endless stream of enemies. Naturally, the foes have their own strengths and weaknesses. What melts one robot will only make another one shrug – and finding the right way to dispatch them is at the core of AI.VI’s gameplay.

Beyond choosing the right loadout – weapons and defenses to bring along – players can also select permanent upgrades that give even more options for disposing of enemy robots. Each level also offers a string of temporary upgrades. Punch harder! Raise shields! Become invulnerable! Look into the minds of enemy robots to hear their final thoughts as they are sent to the great scrapyard in the sky! Ready to retake the means of production? Kick a gigacorporation down a few notches? Corner the second-hand robot parts market? AI.VI will release on Steam on March 18, 2026!

New specialised feeders bring bigger predators, smarter strategy, and greater rewards

STOCKHOLM – 24 February, 2026 – Avalanche Studios Group today released Game Feeder Pack 2, the latest DLC for theHunter: Call of the Wild. Available now on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store.

With careful planning and smart placement, players can lure a wide range of species to their chosen hunting grounds. But strategy is everything: place your bait wisely, because in the wild, the hunter can quickly become the hunted.

The Game Feeder Pack 2 features:

• The Mineral Lick Feeder, draws in hooved wildlife like sheep, goats and bovines craving vital sodium and essential minerals, and offers a unique opportunity to attract and hunt these elusive species. Strategic placement is key to make the most of its powerful lure.
• The Scent Tube Feeder, made to attract carnivores and scavengers such as foxes, wolves, and a variety of small predators like mustelids by projecting a primal scent of prey. Its durable design and perforated structure lets the scented meat aroma to spread, attracting predators while limiting direct access to the bait.

New update brings new car parts and weapons of the Firestarters faction

Gaijin Entertainment announces that the “Playing with Fire” update for the post-apocalyptic online action game Crossout is now available to the players. It’s dedicated to the Firestarters faction, whose fighters love to wreak havoc: burning, sawing, and blowing up their enemies

The new “Hyena” tracked platform unleashes retractable “claw” blades at long range, and the faster you move, the more viciously they tear apart everything they touch. Or take the “Thrust”, a pair of wheels converted into a dual-action circular saw. It can be used for both ramming and firing at medium range. Finally, the “Butcher” disc launcher fires discs that attach to enemy parts, sawing them before exploding. For those who prefer traditional firepower, the Firestarters have a striking multi-barreled rocket launcher called the “Inquisitor.”

The list of game modes has been expanded with the “Precious Driver” brawl, in which the driver who earns the most points for the team is randomly selected. Teammates aim to protect that driver and be the first to kill the opposing team’s most precious driver. In the reworked “At Gunpoint” brawl, players will experience a first-person perspective directly from the cockpit of an armored vehicle – for those who appreciate the ultimate immersive experience. And in the “Ice and Fire” brawl, players battle in pre-assembled vehicles armed with fire or cryo weapons.

The exact schedule of available brawls and a detailed list of new features in “Playing with Fire” are available on the official Crossout website.

The video also highlights the game’s captivating main theme, composed by Olivier Derivière and performed by Linda Olàh

Lesquin, France, February 24, 2026 – NACON and Spiders studio today present a new video showcasing the varied environments to explore in the narrative RPG GreedFall: The Dying World. The trailer is also carried by the game’s main theme, titled “From Another World,” composed by the renowned Olivier Derivière (Dying Light: The Beast, A Plague Tale: Requiem) and performed by Linda Olàh.

Currently available in Early Access on Steam, GreedFall: The Dying World will be released in its final version on PC on March 10 and on March 12, 2026, on consoles.

In GreedFall: The Dying World, you play as a native of Teer Fradee, forcibly torn from your island and taken to the continent of Gacane, the homeland of the renaigsa (“foreigners” in Yecht Fradí, the language of your people). Your adventure will lead you to acquire the Constanzia, a ship that serves as a headquarters for you and your companions, but more importantly, gives you the ability to travel to the four corners of a rich and varied world.

Discover some of the main explorable locations in the game:

• Teer Fradee: This lush island is teeming with ancient treasures and mysterious creatures, and is steeped in great spirituality and magical phenomena. This region offers a variety of environments to explore: forests, caverns, villages, mines…
• Thynia: This is a rather arid country, rich in minerals as well as ancient ruins and temples. This nation is led by the Bridge Alliance faction, which enjoys undeniable military power and a technological and scientific advantage.
• Olima: This small city is a key location in Thynia where scholars and scientists conduct extensive research. It is nicknamed the City of Stars in reference to the gigantic observatory that overlooks it.
• Uxantis: An island renowned for being inaccessible due to the violent currents that surround it, Uxantis is the homeland of the Nauts, a guild that dominates the seas and is the only one to have mastered sea travel. It is here that their ships are built.
• Péren: Former capital of the Astrian civilization, the city is now run by the Merchant Congregation. Marked by the Malichor epidemic, the mysterious plague that is rampant on the continent of Gacane, Péren is also the scene of numerous political intrigues.

About Spiders

Publisher and developer GIANTS Software has formed another partnership: Vredo, a renowned specialist in overseeding and slurry injection, is joining the series, alongside the return of Evers Agro. The pack includes 12 state-of-the-art machines, and wild boars start to roam the land, threatening the health of crops and keeping farmers on their toes.

Overseeding, Restoring Yield

Traditional Dutch manufacturer Vredo enables virtual farmers to combat the degradation of grassland. High-tech machines such as the Vredo Agri Twin 580, Agri 290 and Agri Air 290, which are part of the brand new DZ5 seeder generation, enable the overseeding of grassland to restore its original yield potential.

Injecting Slurry, Increasing Yield

Overseeding is only the beginning, as Vredos slurry injectors do not restore, but increase the yield and crop quality. The Vredo VT7138, a high-capacity, three-axle self-propelled slurry tanker, injectors of the Vredo Profi series, or the mounted Evers Agro Toric 48-672 boost soil nutrition and efficiency.

Distracting Boars, Protecting Yield

In addition to new machinery and yield-improvement techniques, the Pack introduces new wildlife, creating a new threat that farmers must be aware of. In addition to the existing natural events, hurricanes and hail, the arrival of wild boar may also cause crop damage – unless they are distracted, which reduces the impact on the yield.

Farming Simulator 25 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Vredo Pack will be released on March 24^th and is available for pre-orders at selected channels. A Year 2 Season Pass is obtainable and includes the Vredo Pack, a bonus tractor as well as more content to be released in 2026 – fans save up to 30% compared to getting the content separately. GIANTS Software will also continue to release free content updates and user-generated content on the official ModHub.

Enjoy your stay in the worst place on earth!

Madrid, Spain – 24 February 2026. Meridiem is pleased to announce that I Hate This Place Elena’s Edition will launch for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on 14th May, 2026. Developed by Rock Square Thunder and digitally published by Broken Mirror Games and Feardemic, in partnership with Skybound Entertainment, I Hate This Place is a craft-focused, isometric survival horror game filled with twisted monsters and warped realities, all wrapped in a bold comic book art style and dripping with an ’80s horror vibe.

Meridiem is responsible for designing and manufacturing the physical Elena’s Edition of I Hate This Place for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, which will be the only physical boxed edition available during the launch period, and will include a copy of the game, a special effect cover, a secret letter from Elena, and an artbook.

I Hate This Place is inspired by Skybound’s Eisner Award-nominated comic book series created by writer Kyle Starks and artist Artyom Topilin.

Players take on the role of Elena, whose fight for survival begins when she and her friend unwittingly summon a malevolent force. Outmatched and hunted in a hostile world, players will need to stay vigilant, loot their surroundings, and pick their battles carefully against formidable foes, many of which hunt you by sound.

Features

• Classic craft-based survival horror: scavenge every corner of Rutherford Ranch to stay alive. From haunted forests, a derelict town, to infested bunkers. Explore a world teeming with danger as you gather vital resources, craft essential gear, upgrade your campsite, and rebuild outposts to have somewhere to hide.
• Day prepares you, night hunts you: a dynamic day-night cycle that changes the world. Use daylight wisely to explore, scavenge supplies, craft what you need, and prepare for what’s coming. When night falls, the real nightmares come out to play. More enemies appear, stronger and more aggressive than before. The landscape becomes harder to navigate with just your flashlight. Sometimes your best hope is to find shelter and hunker down till morning.
• Deadly silence goes a long way: stealth and combat go hand-in-hand here as many of the twisted creatures in Rutherford Ranch hunt and stalk you by sound alone. Brute force will often just land you in an early grave. Use sound to your advantage, luring creatures away from your path or cleverly leading them straight into deadly traps you laid.
• 80’s vibes meets coming book flair: inspired by the award-nominated comic book series created by Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin, I Hate This Place comes to life with bold colors, a punchy retro comic book style, and a heavy dose of ’80s flair. A unique blend of horror, dark humor, and just the right touch of camp and gore where unsettling dread meets stylized charm.

I Hate This Place will launch as a physical edition for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on May 14, 2026. You can now pre-order the physical edition via specialist stores across Europe and America.
