FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Feb. 17, 2026 – On the docks, everything that passes through has a story. But not many know the story of the dock itself. Saber Interactive is here to take you into the world of Port Wake, from the ground level to the top of the stacks, in the new overview trailer for Docked, the realistic port simulation game coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on March 5. “This Is Docked” will give you the lowdown on everything it takes to make this hub of commerce and industry work, as well as a look into the people who make it all possible.
After a devastating hurricane threatens the family business, it’s up to you to step in as lead operator. It doesn’t matter the size of your cargo, operating heavy machinery like this requires a delicate touch. Master a variety of massive vehicles, each designed to excel at a different aspect of the job, and take control to rebuild and expand Port Wake beyond its former glory, one container at a time. Fulfilling contracts will bring money into the port to help save the dock, but be careful – one slip up can send the whole operation into chaos.
Key Game Features
Port Wake Calls: From ship to crane to truck and beyond, every tool is a vital piece of the business. Manage operations and vehicles, take on important contracts, and make high-priority cargo runs to fulfill your commitments. When wear and tear drags your equipment down, execute repairs under strict deadlines to keep the port moving.
Operate Powerful Machinery: Take command of a fleet of real-life machines expertly engineered with the raw power and precise handling to get the job done, from colossal ship-to-shore cranes to sturdy, heavy-duty tractors and more. Tighten ropes, position materials, optimize weight distribution, navigate delicate cargo, and gain a firsthand understanding of what it means to work a dock.
Earn, Invest & Expand: Revitalize Port Wake one crane at a time. Every job you take earns cash to invest in new and more powerful machinery. Sign contracts to create new logistical chains and build up resources, purchase lots to store vehicles, upgrade fuel and power supplies, and conquer new milestones to save and expand the family business.
Pre-orders are available now for both the Standard and Deluxe Edition of Docked on PlayStation 5 (Deluxe), Xbox Series X|S (Deluxe), and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store (Deluxe). Players who pre-order either version will unlock the Premium Reach Stacker vehicle. Deluxe Edition owners will get the full base game plus the “New Horizons” expansion pack.

New Phoenix Class Leads a Fully Refined Content Update in Early 2026
Karlsruhe, Germany (February 16, 2026) | Gameforge today announced Update 4.5 ‘Ignite’, the first major update of 2026 for AION Classic EU. Planned to arrive in early 2026, Update 4.5 delivers a broad range of new content, gameplay systems, and refinements—headlined by the introduction of the all-new Phoenix class—while offering European players a fully optimized version of the update from day one.
Rather than releasing Update 4.5 in stages, Gameforge will deploy the update as a single, consolidated patch, incorporating balance improvements, system refinements, and usability updates informed by player feedback from other regions. This approach ensures a smoother launch experience and a more cohesive progression path for both new and returning players.
Watch the AION ClassicEUUpdate 4.5 ‘Ignite’ Announcement Trailer:
New Class Spotlight: Phoenix Leading Update 4.5 is the arrival of Phoenix, a fast-paced, mid-range magical damage dealer wielding Flame Revolvers and wearing Flame Leather equipment. Designed for dynamic combat, Phoenix excels at rapid-fire combos, area control, and explosive burst windows in both PvE and PvP encounters.
Phoenix’s signature mechanic, Overcharge Energy, builds with every critical hit. Once fully charged, Phoenix enters a heightened combat state that dramatically enhances magical skill output for a short duration. With access to airborne binds, black hole-style pulls, auto-cannons, and skill-reset abilities, the class delivers a highly mobile and expressive playstyle that rewards precision and timing.
Streamlined Onboarding for New and Returning Players Update 4.5 modernizes the early AION Classic experience by removing the legacy base class system. New characters now begin directly as their chosen advanced class, allowing players to immediately engage with their preferred playstyle.
Additionally, players now start in their faction’s main city rather than a low-level starter zone, providing faster access to core services, clearer progression guidance, and a more efficient introduction to the game’s systems. These improvements significantly reduce early friction and help players reach meaningful content more quickly.
Teva: A New Open-World Progression Zone Teva is a large-scale open-world field zone designed as a central progression hub for Update 4.5. It features rotating anomalies, field missions, rare monster encounters, hidden islands accessed through special portals, and a new weekly-reset currency used to obtain valuable rewards.
Teva also introduces monster taming, allowing players to capture rare creatures using Prism Cores, alongside challenging solo and group content that feeds directly into the update’s new gear and progression systems.
Expanded Endgame Progression Update 4.5 significantly deepens long-term character growth with several new systems:
Battle Armour Gear Line – A new endgame equipment path that evolves into higher-tier Battle-Hardened and Battle-Seasoned Armour, offering powerful stat upgrades and a new combined defensive attribute.
Arcamant – Equipable progression items that introduce new combat-enhancing stats, including Critical Damage Increase, with multiple variants for PvE and PvP builds.
New High-Tier Manastones – Expanded build customization through stronger Fabled-grade stones tied to open-world and endgame activities.
Skill Reboot, RvR Enhancements, and QoL Improvements Update 4.5 delivers one of the largest skill overhauls in AION Classic EU to date, featuring class-wide Skill Reboots, new Advanced Skills and Stigmas, and extensive balance adjustments. These changes improve combat clarity, build diversity, and performance across both PvE and PvP.
RvR (Realm vs Realm) gameplay also receives major refinements, including improved raid structures, clearer scheduling, enhanced rewards, and expanded progression systems. Alongside these updates, a wide range of quality-of-life improvements streamline crafting, enhancement, inventory management, and general navigation throughout the game.
Quote from Gameforge “Update 4.5 represents an important step for AION Classic EU as we move into 2026,” said Syd, Product Manager for AION EU at Gameforge. “Our goal with this update is to deliver meaningful new gameplay—like the Phoenix class and Teva—while also refining the core experience based on what we’ve learned so far. We want players to feel that AION Classic continues to evolve in a thoughtful and sustainable way.”
Coming Early 2026 AION Classic EU Update 4.5 ‘Ignite’ is currently planned to launch in early 2026 and will be available as a free update for all players via the Gameforge client.

Indie developer Yajueko, in partnership with indie.io, has announced that Yankee Rabbits will launch on PC via Steam on March 4, 2026.
The game will cost $3.99 USD and will include a 14 day launch discount.
In Yankee Rabbits, the world is already over. The city belongs to the Yankee Rabbits now. They are pink. They are humanoid. They carry baseball bats. Humanity is gone, and the only person left to deal with this mess is a mysterious anime girl with a lot of guns and even worse odds.
Players control this anime girl as she fights through 10 stages, each split into 10 escalating combat rounds. Every round brings more rabbits, more chaos, and less breathing room. The final round of each stage is a boss fight that pushes the game’s cute art style into completely unreasonable territory.
The rabbits are not the only problem. Satsuko, a deeply corrupt police officer who made a deal with the Yankee Rabbits to stay in the city, actively attacks the player. She blames the anime girl for everything that has gone wrong and makes sure every fight is worse than it needs to be.
Finishing the main Classic Mode unlocks even more ways to suffer. Survival Mode throws endless waves of rabbits at the player, while Free Run Mode adds double jumps and platforming-focused stages. Additional Free Run courses are planned after launch, with both free updates and optional paid content.
Yankee Rabbits is fast, loud, and completely unbothered by logic. It is cute, brutal, and ridiculous on purpose.
Yankee Rabbits launches March 4, 2026, on Steam.
Key Features
Play as a mysterious anime girl fighting wave after wave of humanoid rabbits
10 stages with 10 rounds each, ending in over-the-top boss battles
Classic Mode, Survival Mode, and Free Run Mode
Double jumps and platforming challenges in Free Run Mode
Cute visuals paired with intense, high-difficulty combat
A corrupt police officer who attacks the player instead of helping
Post-launch Free Run courses, including free and paid content
About Yankee Rabbits
Yankee Rabbits is a wave-based first-person shooter developed by Yajueko. The game focuses on relentless combat, escalating difficulty, and the absurd contrast between pastel visuals and nonstop action, all centered around an anime girl trying to survive a city taken over by rabbits with bats.
As Kazuma Kiryu tries to put his life with the Yakua behind him in order to take care of Haruka and others at the Morning Glory Orphanage, trouble seems to follow him at every step. More dangers continue to circulate in every way in Sega’s Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties – Gameplay
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties reimagines the classic Yakuza 3 experience with modern visuals, refined combat, and expanded content, bringing two standout tales into one definitive package. In Kiwami 3, Kazuma Kiryu returns as the Dragon of Dojima, trading his legendary street fights for life in Okinawa — running an orphanage and protecting those he loves as darkness creeps back into his world. Between street brawls in Kamurocho and heart-felt moments at the Morning Glory orphanage, this remake deeply revisits the original’s emotional core while refreshing its action for a new generation.
Alongside the remake, Dark Ties delivers a complementary experience from the perspective of Yoshitaka Mine, one of Yakuza 3’s most enigmatic figures. This original narrative thread blends high-intensity combat with rogue-style progression and character growth, showcasing Mine’s journey from business owner to feared figure in the criminal underworld. Whether you’re rising through gang conflicts or mastering brutal shoot-boxing moves, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties offers both familiar and fresh thrills across its sprawling urban landscapes and dynamic side content.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Publisher: Sega Platform: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC (Steam) Release Date: 12 February 2026 Price: $59.99 USD
Not Recommended – “Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties trims content, adds recycled ideas, and delivers uneven additions, leaving its strong combat to carry an otherwise shaky remake.”
The full game will be available on Steam from March 31st – with an updated demo playable throughout the February edition of Steam Next Fest.
Slumberland – February 17th, 2026 – The door to the dream world of Slumberland is almost open! After a successful Kickstarter and several years of tender loving care, 2D metroidvania Little Nemo and The Guardians of Slumberland is finally landing on Steam on March 31st!
As the team prepares for the final stretch ahead of launch, an updated demo for the game is already available on Steam – and will be playable throughout the February edition of Steam Next Fest. The demo takes players through the early stages of the game, where they’ll encounter some of the title’s cast of colorful NPCs, get acquainted with the mechanics of Little Nemo and get a taste of what Slumberland has to offer. We also have a brand-new gameplay trailer for the occasion, which you can check out right below!
Inspired by Winsor McCay’s works, Little Nemo and The Guardians of Slumberland transports you into the colorful, hand-animated world of Nemo’s dreams. Once a peaceful place, Slumberland has been besieged by the mysterious Oblivion, which threatens to destroy this precious world and its inhabitants. It is now up to you to push back and stop the Oblivion from spreading, consuming Slumberland and anything within it as it grows.
While Nemo is sound asleep, you’ll be able to explore the many domains that make up Slumberland, each with its unique characteristics, inhabitants, and collectibles to discover. As you progress, you’ll also meet a unique cast of characters ready to guide you through the adventure and work together to prevent Slumberland’s destruction! But beware: this cute dream world is not as safe as it once was. Strange creatures have been emerging from the Oblivion, turning Slumberland from a dream into a dangerous nightmare.
If you want to save Slumberland, you must be prepared to overcome challenges, defeat increasingly more frightening enemies and face off against nightmarish bosses. As you explore Slumberland, you’ll find Nemo’s favorite Toys, each of which will grant you a new ability to help you avoid hazards, defeat enemies, and even find new pathways through Slumberland! Make sure to keep an eye out for Nemo’s Pajamas, Little Buddies, and other collectibles, which will make your journey through Slumberland a little more fun!
Primarily developed by DIE SOFT founder Dave Mauro, Little Nemo and The Guardians of Slumberland draws heavily from its NES-era ancestors. The game’s revamped gameplay is designed with approachability and accessibility in mind, but can also scale up to appeal to more experienced metroidvania veterans. Commenting on the game approaching its release date, Dave said: “It’s been so exciting to work with a character and setting I’ve always been a bit obsessed with, and I can’t wait for players to finally get to see what I’ve been working on all these years”.
Key Features
A lush, hand-animated world, composed of many distinct thematic domains, all seamlessly connected.
Defeat challenging bosses, discover collectibles, and unlock new abilities to progress.
An original soundtrack composed entirely by Peter Berkman of Anamanaguchi.
Tight and responsive controls for retro-inspired platforming action.
Designed with approachable and accessible baseline experience, that can be ranked up for more skilled players.
Little Nemo and The Guardians of Slumberland will launch on Steam on March 31st, 2026, with a Nintendo Switch version of the game coming later this year.

Paris, France – February 16th, 2026 – Game Atelier, the studio behind Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, invites players to jump into the demo of its upcoming asymmetrical co-op horror game Follow Us, available from today, ahead of Steam Next Fest, and remaining playable throughout the event, running February 23rd – March 2nd, 2026.
The demo lets players experience the game’s unique mix of tension, teamwork, and dark humor, as friendships are put to the test under pressure. Whether you prefer facing the horrors directly or managing the chaos from afar, Follow Us offers a co-op experience built around trust, stress, and survival.
In Follow Us, two players take on different roles: one explores a haunted location, while the other guides them remotely from a van, hacking the environment and monitoring threats. Communication is your only weapon – and your biggest risk.
“We’re incredibly excited to finally put Follow Us in players’ hands,” said FeiBi Chen, COO at Game Atelier. “This demo features the very first level of the game, just a glimpse of what’s to come. Each subsequent level will introduce entirely new rules, shifting both the gameplay and the type of fear players experience. The tension, trust and unexpected fun come from playing together, and sometimes panicking together, in a co-op horror experience built entirely around communication.”
More about Follow Us: In Follow Us, horror isn’t just about what you see – it’s about what you hear, what you say, and what goes wrong when communication breaks down. Each round lets players choose whether they want to play as the intrepid Explorer – who bravely navigates a deadly, haunted map – or the Operator, who hangs back to guide their comrade and hack the playspace to protect them. Built on communication rather than complex mechanics, Follow Us creates tension by combining two different things – isolation and connection with a partner.
Every mission explores a different type of fear, from psychological tension to pure dread. The Explorer experiences isolation and danger in the field, while the operator suffers through helplessness and constant pressure. Every swap creates a fresh emotional scenario, making each playthrough completely different with unexpected communication conflicts guaranteed to create creepy co-op chaos!
About Game Atelier: Founded in 2010, Game Atelier is an independent studio with AAA-indie expertise, dedicated to crafting player-focused action-adventure games that blend creativity with technical craftsmanship. The team is known for standout titles like Flying Hamster and the acclaimed Monster Boy, alongside commissioned projects such as the UE5-powered Otherskin.
