Who doesn’t love a little puppet-on-puppet cannibalism?

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 22, 2026) The Number of the Day is 2! Developer siblings John and Evan Szymanski with indie horror publisher DreadXP announced that the beloved and relatively disturbing puppet-dismembering survival horror game, My Friendly Neighborhood, drops on Nintendo Switch 2 today (https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/my-friendly-neighborhood-switch-2/) for $29.99.

Step into the work boots of Handyman Gordon and investigate a disturbance at the local television studio that once housed the now-defunct children’s show, The Friendly Neighborhood. It turns out the puppets aren’t so friendly after all, as they have come to life and commandeered the studio to broadcast a decidedly family unfriendly transmission.

It’s up to you, Handyman Gordon, to shut down this rogue band of violent puppets using a variety of letter-based weapons to defend yourself and survive (make sure to study up on your ABCs). Solve perplexing puzzles, organize an intricate inventory and get to the bottom of the mystery of this unusual uprising as you encounter a colorful cast of puppet friends turned enemies.

Taking the most gripping elements of non-linear survival games and fusing it with a variety of delightful environments that include cardboard crayon hallways, My Friendly Neighborhood offers a unique tension-fueled gameplay experience for the Switch 2, including the post-launch Neighborhorde Game Mode. 

My Friendly Neighborhood heralds an extremely positive 83 Metacritic score and thousands of Very Positive fan ratings on Steam. The title is also available on Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and the Windows Store for $29.99. You can wishlist on all platforms today.

Rogue Ops introduces a new gameplay loop built around Hideout development, crafting, and high-stakes smuggling operations, alongside new locations, weapons, and extensive improvements. 35% Steam discount until November 5.

BRNO, Czech Republic – October 22, 2026 – Czech game studio MADFINGER Games today released Rogue Ops, the fourth major update for its open-world tactical shooter Gray Zone Warfare. Marking the game’s transition from pre-alpha to alpha, the update significantly expands the gameplay experience, introducing new ways for players to operate as independent mercenaries and bringing them another step closer to the core mystery of the game, Ground Zero.

With more than 1.7 million copies sold, Gray Zone Warfare has undergone a substantial transformation since its Early Access launch in April 2024. Following several major updates focused on improving and expanding the game’s foundations, Rogue Ops introduces an entirely new layer of gameplay built around player choice, progression, and risk versus reward.

“Rogue Ops represents a major milestone for Gray Zone Warfare and an important step toward realizing our vision for the game,” said Marek Rabas, CEO and Creative Director at MADFINGER Games. “We’ve spent the previous updates strengthening the game’s foundations. Now we’re building on them with a new gameplay loop that gives players greater freedom, more meaningful decisions, and new ways to progress. The Hideout and its associated activities are just the beginning of what we have planned as players move closer to Ground Zero.”

At the heart of Rogue Ops is the Hideout, a personal base of operations where players can manufacture medical supplies, produce illegal substances, process sensitive military technology, and craft specialized equipment. The new systems introduce additional economic opportunities and meaningful decisions. Players can sell their products directly to vendors or risk transporting valuable contraband across Lamang for substantially greater rewards.

The new Smuggling and Hunting activities turn these decisions into high-stakes operations. Smugglers must deliver valuable cargo to designated locations, risking interception by rival mercenaries seeking to claim the shipment for themselves. Both activities are also available in PvE.

Rogue Ops also expands Lamang with three major high-difficulty locations, including an abandoned psychiatric institution, a military research facility, and a radio observatory, alongside more than 15 smaller locations. Players can discover seven new firearms, hundreds of weapon parts, and additional equipment. The update also introduces multiple playable characters and the game’s first soft wipe, preserving player progression while resetting equipment and currency.

Beyond the new content, Rogue Ops delivers extensive improvements to NPC behavior, animations, audio, combat, and the health system. An upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.7 brings further performance optimizations, and additional anti-cheat measures strengthen the game’s defenses.

To celebrate the launch, MADFINGER Games is introducing a Twitch Drops campaign running from October 22 to November 6, offering exclusive cosmetic rewards and useful in-game supplies.

Gray Zone Warfare is now available on Steam at a 35% discount until November 5. Rogue Ops is available as a free update for all players.

The road to Ground Zero begins.

After 5 months in Early Access and very positive player feedback, Hypnos is getting its full 1.0 launch on 29th October. Exploring the Nameless City in search of the mysterious boy haunting your dreams, you’ll meet a peculiar cast of dreamers, spirits and otherworldly creatures. See what awaits you in the new 1.0 release date announcement trailer:

Hypnos 1.0 includes 4 alternate endings based on your actions (or lack thereof), all 7 chapters, more areas to explore and characters to meet, and many more surprises! Hypnos is also wandering onto PS5 and Xbox Series X|S later in 2026.

• Steam Page

You can find more information on Hypnos, the Maze Chronicles series including Blackshard, and the developer team below. Get in touch for any questions or interview requests!

About the game:

Hypnos is a surreal narrative exploration game, set in Redlock Studio’s Maze Chronicles universe, following their previous title Blackshard. Keeping the same atmospheric focus for the series, Hypnos also weaves branching narratives into the formula.

Features:

Its themes and symbols, its propensity to place the player at the heart of the plot and to ask the question of meaning in a multitude of ways are its main assets, along with a strong and ever-expanding visual identity.

Anniversary Celebrations Take Flight as the Flying Hopper Bug Arrives October 22 in Update 13

October 22, 2026 – Watch the skies, Troopers! A film-favorite Arachnid is ready to crash the anniversary party. Offworld, in partnership with publisher Knights Peak, is celebrating two years of Starship Troopers: Extermination with Update 13 and the arrival of the flying Hopper Bug coming on October 22. 

Introduced in the first Starship Troopers film (1997), Hopper Bugs are the fast-moving, winged counterparts to Warrior Bugs. They prey on isolated Troopers with sudden swooping attacks, grabbing victims and carrying them away. Their speed and ability to reach exposed positions make them a dangerous reminder that high ground offers little protection when the enemy can fly.

As in the film, the Hopper Bug will bring an aerial threat to the battlefield in Starship Troopers: Extermination’s Update 13, adding vertical combat pressure to base defense scenarios. These Bugs attack from above in tight formations, disrupting trooper lines and creating chaos. The Hopper Bug prefers to swoop down to strike isolated Troopers on high ground, carrying them into the air. Troopers must watch the skies, adapt their targeting priorities, and work together to bring them down and rescue captured teammates. But players beware: Hoppers remain a threat even in death. Just as the one shot down by Johnny Rico crushed General Owen in the movie (spoiler alert!), their falling bodies can deal serious damage to any Trooper caught beneath.

For the full list of details on Update 13, check out the official patch notes here. A new trailer can be found below.

Offworld and Knights Peak will also release The Gore Supporter Pack, available to download on October 22 for 4.99$/EUR. This new Supporter Cosmetic Pack is for Troopers who want to take a bite out of the Arachnid Menace, and look good doing it.

The Gore Supporter Pack Includes:

• Gore Helmet Decal
• Gore Weapon Skin
• Gore Helmet Visor
• Gore Uniform Palette
• Gore Nameplate: Emblem
• Gore Nameplate: Frame
• Gore Nameplate: Background
• Gore Player Banner: Medal
• Gore Player Banner: Ribbon
• Gore Player Banner: Background

Over the past 24 months, Starship Troopers: Extermination has delivered 13 free updates, marking two years of ongoing live ops support and the mission is far from over! At a time when long-term support is far from guaranteed, Offworld is continuing to invest in both the game and the community. With the original film’s 30th anniversary approaching next year and more content planned for the game in 2026, 2027, and beyond, the team is giving veteran Troopers and new recruits more reasons to return to the front lines.

Inspired by the Starship Troopers movie, Starship Troopers: Extermination is an up to 16-player co-op FPS with six unique classes that puts players on the far-off frontlines of an all-out battle against the Bugs. Squad up, grab your rifle and do your part as an elite Deep Space Vanguard Trooper to take back planets from the Arachnid threat. Starship Troopers: Extermination is available for PlayStation 5, Windows (Steam), and Xbox Series X/S.
