Frontier’s iconic animal management simulation returns with customisable wildlife reserves and cosy creativity at its core
Cambridge, UK – 28 May 2026 – Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV), are excited to announce Planet Zoo 2. Building upon the critically acclaimed and beloved Planet Zoo, this sequel features both aquatic and flying species, alongside a deeper conservation focus. Planet Zoo 2 will launch on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S October 13, 2026.
Let creativity soar in Frontier’s most advanced zoo simulation game to date. Planet Zoo 2 introduces new awe-inspiring animals, plus, for the first time aviaries and aquariums! Zookeepers are tasked with constructing beautiful habitats where authentic species can fully interact with their environments. What’s more, players can now take conservation outside of their zoos, restoring natural habitats and releasing animals into Wildlife Reserves. Planet Zoo 2 represents a generational leap forward in animation and animal behaviour.
Watch the Planet Zoo 2 Announce trailer HERE
From high-fidelity fur, feathers, and scales through to authentic behaviour and brachiation, in Planet Zoo 2, players will encounter a wide range of animals, each with their own needs. Meeting these needs will require Zookeepers to craft habitats that mirror species’ natural environments, creating an authentic home for the animals and an amazing experience for the guests.
A new world beneath the water awaits Zookeepers with fully aquatic species making their debut with a splash. Black-tipped Reef Sharks, Hawksbill Turtles, and colourful shoals of fish are just a handful of the fresh and saltwater animals joining Planet Zoo 2. Notably, aquariums are not simply placeable tanks but fully customisable habitats that grant players control over scenery, location, and more. Plus, Zookeepers will have to ensure their aquariums are kept in top condition with filtration and an airlock for staff to enter.
Frequent flyers also enter the fold with aviaries featuring a mix of bright and brilliant fully flying birds, including the vibrant Toco Toucan and majestic Secretary Bird. Like aquariums, aviaries are fully editable, with players able to place scenery as they please. Aviaries introduce support poles which allow players to generate habitat covers at the click of a button. Zoo guests can even walk through suitable aviaries, creating opportunities for guest entertainment.
Conservation in Planet Zoo 2 goes further than ever before. Zookeepers will take on conservation projects across the globe, revitalising expansive Wildlife Reserves and creating living ecosystems by releasing animals into their natural habitats.
From ensuring animals are kept in habitats that mirror their natural environments to creating immersive spaces for zoo guests to interact and learn, Planet Zoo 2 offers players a meaningful management experience. From managing staff morale and training to constructing the perfect habitat, it’s vital for budding Zookeepers to balance guest satisfaction with animal wellbeing in order to boost their rating and ensure their zoo becomes a roaring success as it grows.
From today, players who pre-order will receive the Bonus Content Pack at launch, which includes the Toucan Eat Shop and Signage, three Unique Animal Donation Bins, and the Tiger Photo Stand-In Wall.
Dedicated Zookeepers looking to expand their animal conservation efforts further can purchase the Planet Zoo 2: Deluxe Edition, which bundles the Planet Zoo 2 base game alongside the Planet Zoo 2: Deluxe Upgrade Pack. This introduces an additional six animal species from across the globe, as well as a selection of exclusive animal signs to decorate their park.
Planet Zoo 2 will be available on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S for a suggested retail price of £39.99/$49.99/€49.99 for the Standard Edition, and £54.99/$64.99/€64.99 for the Deluxe Edition.
Zookeepers are invited to tune in for more exciting news about Planet Zoo 2 during the Wholesome Games showcase on June 6 and the PC Gaming Show on June 7.

UNITED STATES, May 28, 2026 – Indie developer, Builderment LLC releases their factory automation game Belts of Iron into Steam Early Access today! Belts of Iron literally drops you into a vast procedurally generated world where survival quickly turns into an obsession for optimizing your factory. Design massive production lines, build power and rail networks that go for miles, and fight hostile enemies to obtain the valuable resource they protect. All in pursuit of building a rocket capable of taking you home, or stay if you feel like you’ve made a nice home by then.
Since Belts of Iron was announced last fall the developer has been constantly updating and improving the game, sharing progress through regular dev logs and the growing discord community. The demo has been played by thousands of players on Steam and covered by popular gaming YouTube creators such as Orbital Potato and Z1 Gaming.
About the game
Belts of Iron is an open world factory automation game where belts are just the beginning. After crash-landing on an alien planet you start mining ore and smelting ingots to craft belts and basic machinery. Soon you have a small factory producing data packs that can research new technology. It’s not much but it’s yours and it works, for now. New research unlocks oil refineries and fluid mechanics. Suddenly you’re weaving pipes full of crude oil, petroleum, and water throughout your neatly placed rows of belts. Your machines start to hunger for more power, so you scale up electricity generation with massive steam turbines. You feel like you’ve got it all figured out just as your initial resource deposits begin to dry up. And then you hear the low rumble of iron horses coming to save you. Choo choo! Freight cars hauling wagons full of valuable resources over miles of railway tracks back to the factory. Only you’re not alone, and the native creatures do not like what you’re doing to their home. Luckily this isn’t your first rodeo and you’ve come prepared, didn’t you? Now that you’ve made your presence known and your factory is humming at 100% efficiency, it’s time to build a rocket and go home. Or don’t. The factory could always be bigger.
Key Features
Automate Everything – Every item and machine in the factory can be crafted and transported. Your entire factory, from miners to oil refineries, can and should be automated.
Fully Procedural World – Explore a unique world every time with new terrain and resource locations spread accross 9 distinct biomes.
Multiplayer Co-op – Play online or via LAN with up to 4 players.
Train Networks – Live out your fantasy of being a railway tycoon with dedicated train networks efficiently moving items and fluids across long distances.
Base Defense & Combat – Craft weapons, automate turrets, and build defenses to fight the native creatures.
Early Access
The Early Access release includes a complete core gameplay loop, from resource gathering and factory construction to large-scale automation and exploration. Future updates will expand the game with new production lines, more technology, additional machines, quality of life improvements, and much more!
“Early Access isn’t just about releasing early, it’s about building alongside players, improving the game together, and letting ideas evolve in real time,” said the developer. “The game has reached a state where I’m excited to share it with players and see what they create!”
Community feedback will play a central role in prioritizing and shaping these updates, with ongoing development shared openly through regular posts and experimental releases.
Early Access Release – May 28, 2026 at 1:00PM EDT / 17:00 GMT
Price – $14.99 / €14,79 / £12.79

The cyberpunk RPG from a Deus Ex fan who refused to wait for a sequel!
Hungarian developer Adam Ferenczi today announced Alpha Spectrum, a story-driven isometric cyberpunk action RPG launching on Steam in September 2026. Built solo over eight years in his free time alongside a full-time job, the game is set in a dystopian 2030 where a global cyberattack has triggered systemic collapse. Players take on the role of a CIA agent with psionic abilities, investigating a mystery across fourteen open zones, including New York, Moscow, Shanghai, and Baghdad.
Alpha Spectrum presents a fully voice-acted, branching storyline with deep lore and optional side content. The game combines the freedom of a classic immersive sim with skill-based, point-and-click ARPG combat. Many objectives can be approached through combat, stealth, or exploration, with systems like hacking providing additional options. There are no glowing quest markers, the world is built to be read, not signposted.
Ferenczi, known in the PC modding community as Kanyhalos for his work on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Oblivion Lost and Crysis Maximum Immersion mods, began the project in 2017 after finishing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and deciding to build the cyberpunk RPG he wanted to play next. Eight years later, Alpha Spectrum is fully self-funded, with no publisher, no investors, and no AI-generated content.
Key features:
Fully voice-acted dialogues with meaningful choices
Non-linear missions without hand-holding
Fast-paced, skill-based combat with crowd control
Streamlined loot and progression systems
14 explorable open zones with fast travel
Stealth with cover mechanics and active abilities
After nine years of modding, I decided to build the cyberpunk RPG I’d been waiting for since Mankind Divided ended on a cliffhanger. Making my own game was always the dream, and when a defining moment in my life turned that dream into a decision, every line, every voice, every frame followed with that in mind. – Adam Ferenczi (Kanyhalos), Founder, InspiRational Games

London (May 28, 2026) Ingrid joins the Street Fighter™ 6 roster today across Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam! First introduced in Capcom Fighting Evolution in 2004, Ingrid quickly tore through the fabric of reality again to appear in Street Fighter™ Alpha 3 MAX in 2006. Ingrid is available across all three game modes, including Fighting Ground, World Tour, and the Battle Hub!

Outfit 2 can be acquired either with Fighter Coins, maxing out your bond with her in World Tour mode, or maxing out her Acquisition Gauge in Avatar Arcade Mode.
As seen in the previously released Gameplay Trailer on YouTube, Ingrid outclasses her competition with cosmic destruction.

Check out what’s coming and play for yourself during Open Play Week 3 – 10 June AEST.
What secrets lurk in the dark as night descends on Marathon’s second season? Season 2 is coming Wednesday, 3 June, bringing new challenges, new opportunities, and new ways to play. You’ll be able to try out Season 2 for yourself with Marathon Open Play Week from 3 – 10 June. During Open Play Week, the full game will be available on PlayStation 5 (no PlayStation Plus membership required) and any progress you make will carry over into Season 2.
Today, Marathon’s dev team is excited to bring you an overview of what to expect when the lights go out.
Into the night
Veteran Marathon players already know that Dire Marsh can be an unforgiving place. With its deadly mixture of long sight lines, elevated perches, and concentrated points of interest, one wrong move in the Marsh can change a run in an instant. Season 2 offers up a new vision of the Marsh, as night descends in the zone, the light disappears, and the tension skyrockets.
With the new Night Marsh zone, light comes at a premium, with multiple areas that feature pitch darkness. Even the exterior wayfinding lights you might rely on are reduced, amping up the dependence on quiet steps, maximum awareness, and a quick trigger finger. Thankfully, players will have new tools at their disposal, including attached lights on their Runner shells, as well as new loot options they can use to combat the darkness, including Darksight scopes and signal flares. But beware: the light you may be using to find your way might just be a beacon for an enemy.
Alongside the challenge of navigating the darkness of Night Marsh comes new enemies to contend with as the anomaly stirs. Meanwhile the UESC has increased its presence to fortify the Complex building for reasons unknown. What are they protecting? The answers will be yours to discover.
Sentinel
Season 2 has introduced more variety to the Runner mix in the form of Sentinel, a new defensive shell designed to control space and shape encounters before they even begin. With a mixture of tools and abilities that offer defensive safeguards, superior intel, and deadly traps, a skilled Sentinel player can control tempo, force hesitation, and turn enemy aggression into deadly mistakes.
Be reborn
In Season 2, you’ll have more control over your Runner shell progression over the course of the season thanks to the Cradle. This new system will let you level up the WEAVEworms that create your cybernetic body and shape your upgrade path as the season continues.
You’ll do so with WEAVEworm Energy you can earn and use to level up your Cradle, routing that Energy into upgrade paths that unlock stat gains and access to new perks. Best of all, you can reallocate your Energy at any time during the season: Simply reset to have your Energy refunded and start again. The Cradle offers more customisation, allowing you to fit your Runner shell into your preferred playstyle.
A fresh start with new tools
Season 2 will begin with a full reset for all Marathon players, leveling the playing field, so that every Runner is once again on the same page gear-wise. It’s a time when everyone is discovering what’s new and learning how to survive Tau Ceti together.
As you build your Runner back up, we’ll have more fun to find, including two new weapons to collect–a small-arms SMG known as the KKV, designed for close-range DPS, and the D54 Battle Pistol, which comes equipped with an integrated red dot optic. Look for new mods, cores, and implants to continue refining your Runner shell into the biocybernetics merc you were born (and reborn) to be.
Season 2 also brings increased faction progression speed, a larger Vault, improvements to some of the more frustrating contracts, and more quality-of-life changes to help you on your climb.
Finally, if you’ve played previous Bungie games before, you might know about Bungie Rewards – an ongoing program that lets you unlock the ability to purchase exclusive game-inspired rewards by completing challenges in the game. PlayStation is happy to share that Bungie Rewards will be coming to Marathon with Season 2 and you can look for more details coming soon. Until then, grab those flashlights and watch your six. You never know what surrounds you in the darkness…
