Sydney, Australia, February 13, 2026 – Milestone unveiled a brand-new trailer for Screamer, the futuristic, story-driven arcade racing game set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 26, 2026, with Early Access opening on March 23.

Kicking off with the song Survive by J-Pop band WAGAMAMARAKIA, the video sets the stage for the game’s opening hours, showcasing a high-octane blend of JRPG-inspired storytelling, cinematic cutscenes, and spectacular gameplay sequences. Narrative sequences highlight how each team has its own backstory and reasons for entering The Tournament, the biggest illegal street racing event ever. It quickly becomes clear that the billion-dollar prize offered by the enigmatic Mr. A is just one piece of the puzzle driving Screamers to risk it all on the streets of Neo Rey. This diversity extends to the cars themselves, each boasting distinct handling and unique abilities that reflect their driver’s personality and style.

Through lively, character-driven dialogue featuring international actors, players will begin to explore the interpersonal dynamics within each team while mastering the game’s core mechanics with early tutorials. Initial events guide players through the Twin Stick system, giving full control over every vehicle, alongside the Echo System, the unique technology that powers both offensive and defensive actions and makes Screamers’ cars truly immortal.

These opening sequences deliver an engaging mix of narrative and action, preparing players to dive into the full depth of the gameplay as the story unfolds, gradually introducing special events such as the Team Races, where crossing the finish line first won’t guarantee victory.

Set to launch on March 26, 2026, Screamer will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Beloved Lycoris Stars Join the Battlefield in a Thrilling New Crossover

PALO ALTO, CA – FEBRUARY 12, 2026 – Global game publisher Level Infinite, along with award-winning developer SHIFT UP has announced the launch of its collaboration with critically-acclaimed TV anime series Lycoris Recoil and RPG hit, GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE. The collaboration brings a new original storyline featuring the girls of Café LycoReco, new outfits, and an exclusive Music Mini Game! 

The original collaboration story “Lie Cause Recoil” features three iconic Lycoris Recoil characters – Chisato, Takina, and Kurumi – joining the fray, with Nikkes of Cafe Sweety to defeat an unknown assailant.

• SSR Chisato Nishikigi: She is known as the “Strongest Lycoris Agent of All Time.” She enjoys solving problems faced by the private sector that DA cannot handle. She is the self-proclaimed “poster girl” at Café LycoReco, and is always cheerful and energetic.
• SSR Takina Inoue: She was once an excellent Lycoris agent but was assigned to Café LycoReco due to special circumstances. She is rational, hates waste, and is sometimes frustrated by Chisato’s “un-Lycoris-like behavior,” but she has a strong desire to achieve results at work. She is known for her calm and collected fighting style.
• SR Kurumi: A mysterious girl who is the true identity of the strongest hacker, “Walnut.” Although she looks young, her age is unknown, as she can hold adult conversations on equal footing. To escape her pursuers, she temporarily hides in Café LycoReco.

More Than Just a Shootout
Bringing the Café LycoReco vibes to the Outpost, players can explore areas inspired by the anime, including Kurumi’s private room to enter the new collaboration storyline and Music Mini-Game: Lyco Reco Beats. Put your reflexes to the test with the rhythm game and earn great rewards!
Other key highlights from the crossover event includes:

• Kurumi Login Bonus: Log in during the event to claim SR Kurumi for free as well as recruitment tickets, training materials, and more!
• DA Outfits & More: Complete event quests to earn free Sportswear Costumes for Chisato and Takina. Premium costumes are also available via the Event Pass.
• Training Support: Exclusive materials, recruitment tickets, and icon frames are being distributed to ensure the new squad is battle-ready from Day One.

New Campaign Chapters & Solo Raid Museum Update
Access the new chapters 43 and 44 post-update on February 12, along with the Solo Raid Museum, which adds Hall 2. The boss lineup includes: 

• Alteisen
• Modernia
• Storm Bringer 

Players now have the opportunity to switch to Challenge Mode even after unlocking No Limit Mode, along with other in-game improvements to preview details of the next weekly buff and its remaining duration.

Downloaded over 45 million times since launch, GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is available globally for PC, iOS, and Android mobile devices. GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE continues to deliver regular updates and content expansions that keep players immersed in the game’s evolving narrative.

About Lycoris Recoil
These peaceful days harbor a secret. DA (Direct Attack) is a secret organization that prevents crime before it happens. Its agents are girls known as “Lycoris.” Their ordinary daily lives are made possible thanks to them. One of the DA’s branches is the Café “LycoReco,” where elite Nishikigi Chisato, renowned as the strongest Lycoris of all time, and Inoue Takina, a talented but troubled Lycoris, work. The orders they receive range from coffee and sweets to childcare, shopping assistance, and Japanese language instruction for foreigners—all uncharacteristic of a Lycoris. The free-spirited, optimistic, and pacifist Chisato and the cool, efficiency-driven Takina are about to embark on a crazy, mismatched life.

Sail across the sandseas to restore a dying world in a unique indie Soulslike

[United States] – February 12, 2026 – Chashu Entertainment and indie.io are proud to announce that Sands of Aura will debut on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox X|S Series, and PlayStation 5 on February 26, 2026. Set in an apocalyptic world buried under endless sands, players join the hallowed ranks of the last defenders of mankind as the remnants of humanity face a devastating new threat that may very well spell its final doom. 

The world of Talamhel is no stranger to calamity. Thousands of years ago, an ancient war unleashed untold devastation, covering its surface in endless sandseas. Only the mountaintops remain, islands of relative safety among the desolation, forever under siege not just from the elements, but undead hordes of those who once called this world their home. 

The few remaining human strongholds are protected by the Order of the Remnant Knights – and as a new knight is inducted, a terrifying new threat looms large. As newly anointed defenders of humanity, it is up to the players to confront this threat and the undead hordes, crossing the endless sand on board their nimble grainwake. 

But things are not as they seem: Secrets buried in the sand may reveal forgotten truths and a path to restoring a dead world to life may be one of them. Finding it requires players to master a challenging combat system featuring seven distinct fighting styles, combined with an extensive inventory and crafting system. Survival among the sands is a matter of both skill and equipment, combining dozens of armor sets and thousands of craftable weapons with magical augmentations. 

Beyond combat, players are free to explore the world of Talamhel as they see fit. The open world offers opportunities and danger in equal measure, with plenty of side quests and optional challenges on the horizon. The adventure is anchored by the Starspire, a sanctuary and refuge that allows players to demonstrate their leadership abilities if they so wish, building a community, expanding their understanding of the story, and gaining unique perks and services in the process. 

The console release comes with every improvement and update made to the original game, as well as tailored console improvements: A purpose-built targeting assist system, reworked island exploration interface, and tweaks to combat and economy to further refine the experience of fighting for humanity’s survival in a dying world. 

Ready to take the oath? Sands of Aura releases on Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation 5 on February 26, 2026. Players can wishlist the game on all consoles starting today.
