Detective Grimoire and Sally return to take on a new mystery on PC and consoles. Play a free demo available on Steam now!

London, UK – 11th February 2026 – Critically acclaimed creators of Crow Country and Snipperclips: Cut It Out, Together! SFB Games is delighted to announce that The Mermaid Mask – the thoroughly charming successor to the award-winning murder mystery title, Tangle Tower – is releasing this summer on PC and consoles.

A riotous follow-up to the beloved Tangle Tower, one of Apple Arcade’s top three most highly rated games of all time. It is the latest instalment of SFB Games’ much-loved Detective Grimoire series, which began as a flash game on Newgrounds in 2007. The Mermaid Mask is a witty, visually spectacular detective mystery that balances heavy themes with light-hearted humour.

Submerge yourself in the nautical beauty of the sprawling Mortuga Submarine, unlocking its many oddities and secrets. In the pitch-black waters beyond a long-abandoned fishing town, the enigmatic captain of the world’s strangest submarine has been murdered. Some say he was an immortal time-traveller. Others say he was a vampire, cursed to stay hidden beneath the waves forever. 

Interrogate the sub’s suspicious occupants – each lovingly voice-acted and brought to life through expressive, hand-drawn 2D animation – and collect clues by solving satisfying puzzles designed to encourage curiosity, experimentation, and that ultimate “aha!” moment of discovery.

This new entry to the series sees the return of renowned voice actors, Edwyn Tiong (Loco Motive, Harold Halibut, Unavowed) and Amber Lee Connors (Jujustsu Kaizen, Demon Slayer, Dandadan, The Outer Worlds 2), to their roles as the endearing Detective Grimoire and his sardonic sidekick, Sally. Supported by an incredible cast of voice talent from gaming, anime, film, and radio – to be revealed soon.

“We’ve been working on The Mermaid Mask for a long time – never before have we poured so much love and care into a single project, and it’s become something quite remarkable.

In 2024, our survival-horror game Crow Country became a surprise hit, which diverted our attention a little longer than we’d initially intended (a good problem to have, as Crow Country was wonderfully well received).

We can’t wait to finally share The Mermaid Mask with players this year. There really is so much to discover in this game. It’s a great self-contained murder mystery for new players – while at the same time, for those people who are familiar with the series, particularly 2019’s Tangle Tower… you’re really not going to want to miss this.” – Adam Vian, Creative Director

Get your sea legs ready and prepare to board The Mermaid Mask when it officially sets sail! In the meantime, check out the newly released Steam Next Fest demo available now.

Relive the past, rewrite history, and step into fantasy match-ups in CM Punk’s ultimate Showcase

After yesterday’s debut of the WWE® 2K26 Showcase trailer, 2K unveiled the latest Ringside Report, offering more details on 2K Showcase: Punked, narrated by cover star CM Punk himself.

In 2K Showcase: Punked, players step into the boots of one of the most influential and subversive Superstars in WWE history for a very personal journey, blending authentic career milestones with alternate-history twists, and fantasy “What if?” match scenarios.

Kicking off with a view of the WrestleMania 41 triple-threat match featuring CM Punk vs. Seth “Freakin’” Rollins vs. Roman Reigns, with Paul Heyman in CM Punk’s corner, the Showcase puts players in control of the “Straight Edge Superstar” in matches spanning his entire WWE career. Players can relive iconic matches, taking on Randy Orton at WrestleMania 27, The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29, Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood 2024, and more, all accompanied by Punk’s candid commentary and behind-the-scenes insight. Players will find themselves facing off with a cast of WWE Legends and World Champions such as Undertaker, The Rock, Rey Mysterio, JBL, John Cena, and more.

What if CM Punk never left WWE in 2014? What if certain rivalries had different outcomes? The 2K Showcase also gives players the chance to revisit pivotal moments and change history to explore how Punk’s career might have unfolded differently. One such match sees two married WWE couples go toe-to-toe, as CM Punk & AJ Lee take on The Miz & Maryse, with more alternate history matches to be revealed soon.

In Fantasy Warfare, players can compete against Superstars Punk never faced in a WWE ring, including “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Eddie Guerrero, and more to be revealed soon. An all-new, original arena, the CM Punkvillion, serves as the backdrop for these fantasy battles.

For players focused on earning fast rewards, WWE 2K26 introduces The Gauntlet, an optional match where players can choose CM Punk or AJ Lee to face all 20 Showcase opponents consecutively, one after another, with no shortcuts. Those skilful enough to survive the Gauntlet will earn full completion of the Showcase and unlock every reward available in the mode, including playable Legends, alternate attires, managers, championships, and arenas.

Four editions of WWE 2K26 are available for pre-order now. King of Kings Edition, Attitude Era Edition, and Monday Night War Edition are scheduled for worldwide release on Friday, March 6, 2026, seven days prior to the Standard Edition, which will be available Friday, March 13, 2026.
