Dragon riders! Grab your shiniest shield and tighten your braids; this is not a drill! We’re about to take off for the island of Berk – and all the islands in the Barbaric Archipelago – because the DreamWorks How to Train Your Dragon DLC is here! There is no time to waste. We all need to pull together to get this blocky world of ours ready for Hiccup, Toothless and all the other beloved Vikings and dragons. The DLC is out now, so nail down everything that could break by the flick of a tail and get rid of anything flammable. Can lava catch on fire? Let’s not take any chances; it has to go.
I can’t wait to take flight on one of the dragons – I don’t want to brag, but I have been confused for Toothless on more than one occasion! The people of Berk will think they’re seeing double when we soar through the skies! You can fly with all the different dragons, but if you want a change of pace or just prefer a stroll, you can explore on foot as well.
When you want a break from fun flights, Hiccup will join you on exciting adventures and missions! You can also team up with Stoick the Vast, Astrid, Snotlout and the rest of the gang to pitch in and help the residents of Berk. There is a lot to do, so you better get to it! It’s just like the old dragon saying: *flame noises*. Because everybody doesn’t get to hang out with Stormfly regularly, I have provided a rough translation in case you don’t speak dragon: The work of a world-class citizen of Berk is never done, but you’ll have a lot of fun doing it!
Dive into a new Minecraft Dungeons adventure just in time for summer! Minecraft Dungeons is making a splash on May 26 with the next DLC, Hidden Depths. This won’t be your average day at the beach though. You’ll have to fight a spreading corruption that has reached the darkest depths of the ocean! Hey, it wouldn’t be Minecraft Dungeons if it were easy, right?
Of course, there’s also plenty of free content and updates alongside the DLC release! Not only are there new enchantments, but there is also a brand-new feature called Raid Captains. Raid Captains are friendly tour guides that… wait, that’s not right. They’re super challenging new enemies that will change the way you play the game. That makes a lot more sense. Seek out Raid Captains where they lurk in the hidden corners of the world to add a new level of challenge (and additional treasures) to your missions.
The free update and the Hidden Depths DLC are both available on May 26! To learn more about these offers and how to get the DLC pack for your platform of choice, visit the Minecraft Dungeons website.

Battle and defeat new powerful enemies including the Children of Danu, a mysterious cult of Druids; Drengrs; Irish factions; and new mythical creatures.

Touted as the first episodic playable sitcom, Terrible Posture’s 3 out of 10 focuses on the antics at Shovelworks Studios as its team of eccentrics struggles to make a game that scores higher than a 3 out of 10. New hire, Midge, has to adapt quickly to a workplace that includes office-wide battle royales, caffeine-fueled dimension-hopping, knife-wielding drones, and an alien creature in the freezer.
3 out of 10’sfirst “season” pioneered a new form of interactive storytelling, releasing new episodes for free on a weekly basis while giving players full control to fast forward, rewind, select scenes, and more. The innovative blend of story and gameplay—alongside ferociously funny writing and a memorable cast of game-dev misfits— passed 9 million users across PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox consoles. 3 out of 10’s second season debuted April 8, 2021 on the Epic Games Store for PC as a bingeworthy collection of all five episodes.
“As game developers, we wanted to celebrate this wacky industry we love in a way even non-gamers can appreciate,” said Joe Mirabello, Creative Director at Terrible Posture Games. “To that end, our game industry satire has story, characters, jokes, and pacing informed by sitcom traditions. We’re so excited that dj2 shares our long-term vision for it.”
dj2, producers of 2020’s critically acclaimed hit, Sonic the Hedgehog, and its upcoming sequel, is also in pre-production on an animated Tomb Raider series and is developing a TV adaptation of Disco Elysium.
“There’s never been a cross-media property quite like 3 out of 10,” adds dj2 CEO Dmitri M. Johnson. “Having just produced the first interactive AI reality show for Facebook Watch, we’re thrilled to be developing the first interactive sitcom for TV. Sustaining humor in games is tough – Terrible Posture nailed it.”

Sherwood Extreme Makes Explosive Entrance on Steam Early Access Today
Rack Up Slow-Motion Kills on PC Now, Xbox Consoles Q4 2021
LOS ANGELES — 12 May, 2021 —Sherwood Extreme, the free-to-play crossbow shooter with bullet-time and ridiculous co-op action from CAGE Studios, launches today on Steam Early Access for PC, coming soon to Mac and with sights set on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One for the 1.0 release in Q4 2021.
Robin Hood: friend or foe? Usually, it depends how much money you’re hoarding, but for the goblins who’ve invaded Sherwood, he’s their worst nightmare. Take command of history’s smoothest rogue and reclaim the kingdom with a stylish combination of backflips, parkour, headshots, and bullet-time. Snag sweet loot and pull off sick combos across several game modes and tens of thousands of level variants.
Go solo or grab a medieval mate and chase high scores together in castles, forests, goblin hideouts, and even active volcanoes, all brimming with traps, power-ups, and other surprises. Brave legions of foes in Horde Mode, execute a winning strategy in miniature raids, or just grapple hook onto a friend’s shoulders (yes, you can do that) to make a human tower of power. Race for the fastest time, string together a sky-high multiplier, or simply marvel at how nobody thought to put Exploding Red Barrels™ and Chaingun Crossbows™ in the same game before.
In the first official, pirate-themed season of Sherwood Extreme, claim rewards like new outfits, character skins, and ability-granting equipment. Stand up to daily Epic and Mythic quests with sadistic twists on familiar levels. Hundreds of free seasonal rewards await, with even more available for Kingdom Pass owners.
“Now’s the time to get sweaty and claim your place on the leaderboard!” said Salaar Kohari, game director and co-founder of CAGE Studios. “Beat my scores (it won’t take you long) then challenge our Discord community. With endless ways to synergize with a co-op partner, we can’t wait to see how buddies slow-mo dive and 360 no-scope their way through our courses.”
“We present players with tons of possibilities, but speedrunners prove day after day they know a game better than the people who made it,” added Gabriel Langlois, lead developer and fellow co-founder. “Let’s see what you’re all made of!”
Sherwood Extreme is out now for free on Steam Early Access via PC, coming soon to Mac and available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. The debut Kingdom Pass for Season One unlocks hundreds of items and exclusive quests for 500 CAGE coins (approx. $5 USD). Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One will join the party with the full release in Q4 2021 with several new game modes and expanded features.
Co-founded by Salaar Kohari and Gabriel Langlois, CAGE Studios previously created Sail and Sacrifice with Sherwood Extreme becoming their sophomore project. The team aims to develop games alongside their community with a focus on polished gameplay and artistic integrity. Together they plan to continue to build a diverse team with an ever-changing portfolio.
