READ THE TAROT TO SEAL YOUR FATE! 2D INDIE ROGUELIKE SHOPKEEPER ‘FORTUNE SELLER’ COMING SOON TO STEAM!

Manage your own antique shop, cut deals to pay rent, or seal your fate forever

Falun, Sweden, January 22nd 2026 | Kiwick Studios is excited to announce that their new indie roguelike, ‘Fortune Seller,’ is coming soon to Steam. A demo is available now. Dare to sell countless antique relics to meet your customers’ needs and your landlord’s steep rent prices. Draw from new tarot cards each day for new upgrades and abilities. How long will you be able to earn enough gold, meet ever-increasing rent, and sustain your shop?

Escape Crippling Debt, One Deal at a Time
Customers come from near and far for your treasures. Now, you must optimize your daily quotas, making every sale count, or risk losing your shop for good! Your stingy landlord will only increase your rent by the day, so try your best to manage a Tetris-like inventory to sell enough items to cover each day’s required rent. Complete large sales by keeping your customers happy, filling their suitcases with desirable treasures. Tarot and spell cards will influence your sale’s overall value. At the end of the week, a scale-tipping lunar moon phase event will occur. Wake up to increased debt, restock limits, and reduced effects!

Stow Away Precious Cargo Customers’ luggage comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Pack their newly prized possessions from your current inventory and refresh your selection, hopefully rotating to the items your customers crave the most. However, do so carefully, as refreshes are limited and you never know which item you might need next! Also, try to fill all item slots to earn massive sales bonuses. Use the tiles on the board to match items of the same type, which will increase their value and attract returning customers. Avoid tiles that could tarnish your treasures, reducing their value. Remember, every fit matters, and even the slightest misplacement could end your run prematurely!

Irresistible Rewards Guests never settle, and neither should your sales! Use Tarot cards to stack the value of your items, grant additional fill bonuses, and more. Each item has a unique type and a minor Arcana. Sell items of the same type to passively rank up your minor Arcana, making the overall class grow more valuable. Also, use spell cards to make items more powerful, reschedule moon phases, and even change the effects of Tarot cards entirely! Survive long enough to visit the store, where you can exchange any leftover coins for unlockable rewards. If you prefer, you can also make deals at a cost! Sign contracts to bring forth permanent changes to your runs at the expense of some of your current stats in exchange!

Full Gameplay Features

  • 38 Total card upgrades available
  • 22 Arcana-inspired cards and 8 monster and body organ-inspired Tarot cards, each providing unique passive effects to enhance your sales
  • 20 Spell cards to alter Tarot cards effects, Moon Events and more.
  • 12 unique star sign-based trade types to apply on new runs, each featuring unique and signature items.
  • 50+ Items, allowing for endless effect combinations and modifiers.

The demo for Fortune Seller is now available on Steam. Don’t forget to add the game to your wishlist! For more information about the studio, please visit their official website: https://kiwickstudios.com/.

No Rest for the Wicked Together- Experience the Next Evolution of Co-op in ARPGs and Souls-likes; Available Now in Steam Early Access)

Beloved Action-RPG Reaches 1 Million Total Sales as Moon Studios Invites Players to Join With Their Friends in Isola Sacra With Free Weekend and Deepest Discount Ever Before 1.0 Launch

Vienna, Austria – Jan. 22, 2026  – Independent developer Moon Studios has released the  long-awaited co-op multiplayer update for the dark and painterly action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked following the update’s formal reveal last December. No Rest for the Wicked Together, now available on PC via Steam via Early Access, brings players and up to three friends together across persistent shared Realms rife with new gameplay mechanics that combine the best of ARPGs and MMOs while leaving behind the chaff. No Rest for the Wicked recently reached 1 million copies sold on Steam while still in Early Access, so the game’s active community is filled with potential party members.

Shared upgrades to the game’s Soulslike combat let enemies react naturally (and desperately) to being cornered or outnumbered, and new hand-picked enemy locations means plenty of new surprises. Players can work together during downtime to share and build housing, visit newly reworked vendors, and employ a simple voting system to keep fellow players from causing too much chaos. In addition to all the co-op multiplayer features, this latest update brings numerous quality-of-life updates to No Rest for the Wicked.

There’s never been a better time for players to try out No Rest for the Wicked, as the game is now available for 40% off on Steam ($23.99/€23.99), the lowest price since the original Early Access launch in 2024 and the deepest discount that will be offered before the official 1.0 release. Moreover, the game will be available to play for free from Jan. 22 at 10am PT to Jan. 26 at 10am PT. Moon Studios is also celebrating with exclusive Twitch drops between Jan. 22 and Jan. 30, including the gorgeous “Songkeeper” and “Champion’s Statue” in-game decorative items.

“The No Rest for the Wicked Together co-op update is an incredible milestone for the entire Moon Studios team, and we couldn’t be happier that it comes just after we’ve reached 1 million total sales of No Rest for the Wicked,” said Moon Studios CEO and game director Thomas Mahler. “Our team has been working nonstop since our last major update and we couldn’t be more thrilled to meet you all in Isola Sacra once more. This update includes an all new co-op experience with free private and persistent Realms, quality of life improvements and many features our community has been asking for. With this update, we’re one step closer to delivering the type of gaming masterpiece our fans have come to expect from Moon Studios.”

No Rest for the Wicked is the third full-length game from Moon Studios, following in the footsteps of the immensely beloved Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death. Players can collect and craft weapons, items, and more to turn the tide of each battle, upgrade their character and personal homestead, and play their part in an epic tale of bloodshed and bravery. It’s all brought to life in Moon Studios’ signature painterly and vivid art style that helped define the Ori series as some of the most visually appealing titles of their generation.

The Together update will serve as a robust feature for players – old and new – to join forces for an unforgettable co-op experience. Moon Studios is continuing to develop and iterate on No Rest for the Wicked ahead of the game’s 1.0 release for PC, as well as early development for console platforms.

Evolve Benchmark 13.0 Launches With Media-Driven Workflow Improvements

New update removes key friction points for reviewers and benchmark authors

Breda, The Netherlands
Traverse Research today announced the release of Evolve Benchmark 13.0, a significant update focused on improving the day-to-day workflow of journalists, reviewers, and content creators covering GPU performance.

Over the past year, Evolve has increasingly been used by members of the press to analyze modern graphics workloads, including ray tracing, rasterization, compute, and energy efficiency across desktop and mobile GPUs. During this period, reviewers shared clear, practical feedback on what slowed them down when using benchmarking tools. Evolve 13.0 is a direct response to that feedback.

Designed Around How Reviewers Actually Work

Two issues came up repeatedly in conversations with journalists and influencers: reviewing previous benchmark runs was cumbersome, and exporting data required command-line usage. Evolve 13.0 addresses both with new, media-focused features.

Benchmark History
A new Benchmark History screen allows users to instantly access previous submissions from the start screen. Each entry shows submission date, GPU name, and category scores, with direct links to detailed online results.

Benchmark Speed Control
Custom benchmark runs now support adjustable playback speeds of 1x, 2x, or 4x. At 4x speed, a full benchmark completes in approximately one minute, making iteration and exploratory testing significantly faster. Official benchmark runs remain locked to 1x speed to preserve fair comparison.

Export Benchmark Results Without the Command Line
Benchmark results can now be exported as a zip file directly from the user interface. Previously, this was only possible via command-line tools. This export feature is available in the Advanced and Professional editions and is designed specifically to support editorial workflows.

Additional Improvements in 13.0

• Added lower render resolutions for custom runs: 640×360, 854×480, and 960×540
• Fixed shadow rendering issues on Intel GPUs
• Resolved loading screen logo scaling issues

Built for Modern GPU Coverage

Evolve is a modern benchmarking suite designed to evaluate contemporary graphics workloads using native ray tracing and advanced rendering techniques. It provides seven core performance scores, including ray tracing, rasterization, compute, driver behavior, acceleration structures, workgraphs, and energy consumption.

The benchmark supports both desktop and mobile GPUs and is built to evolve alongside real-world graphics technology rather than relying on static, outdated test scenes.

Free Demo Available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2717790/Evolve_Benchmark

A free demo version of Evolve Benchmark is available on Steam, allowing reviewers and enthusiasts to experience the benchmark with consistent, fixed settings for comparable results.

About Traverse Research

Traverse Research is a Netherlands-based team of former game developers and graphics engineers focused on building next-generation performance analysis tools. Evolve Benchmark is their flagship product, used by hardware vendors, developers, and media to better understand modern GPU behavior.

Fantasy Extraction-RPG Eldegarde is Out Now on PC, Adding in New PvE Mode

Step into a gorgeous high fantasy world inspired by MMOs and built by a team of former Blizzard veterans

California, United States January 21, 2026 | Notorious Studios is pleased to announce that its debut title, extraction-RPG Eldegarde, is out now on Steam, bringing dynamic fantasy combat and RPG mechanics to players on PC.

Eldegarde launches today following a successful period in Steam Early Access, receiving over 3,000 Mostly Positive reviews, and building a dedicated community of players who have supplied the development team with invaluable feedback in the lead up to launch. 

Players are able to pick from a selection of iconic fantasy classes, including classics like Warrior, Rogue, Wizard, and Priest, as well as the newly added Paladin. Eldegarde’s 1.0 launch also introduces a PvE mode, allowing newcomers to learn the game’s maps and combat mechanics at their own pace, playing the game in a whole new way, safe from the flagship full loot PvP extraction experience.

Watch the Eldegarde Official Launch Trailer here:

Eldegarde has been created by Notorious Studios, a team composed mostly of Blizzard veterans and led by former World of Warcraft Game Designer Chris Kaleiki.

Eldegarde is a game that raises the bar on so many stagnant RPG systems like class design, combat, PvP and progression found in many RPGs and MMOs” said Chris Kaleiki, Founder of Notorious Studios. “Extraction has really taken off recently with Arc Raiders. Eldegarde is really the Fantasy RPG version of that experience, so we feel it has a ton of potential. This genre is still very much in its infancy.”

Eldegarde is available now on Steam priced at $24.99 / €24.99 / £21.99.

Sidekick Publishing launch auto-battler roguelike DWARVES: GLORY, DEATH AND LOOT in 1.0 TODAY

Gather gear, muster the troops and master the loop for glory, for death, for loot, on PC, Switch and mobile

Berlin, Germany – January 22, 2026Sidekick Publishing, solo developer Hamma Studios and porting studio ATEO are excited to announce that the early access auto-battler roguelike, Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot officially launches in 1.0 TODAY. 

[all proceed to yell ‘DWARVES’ in unison with thunderous pride]

Watch the brand new launch trailer, featuring dwarf-lore accurate voiceover by Ravs of Yogscast and Scotland fame below

Following its popular Steam early access period (with over 130,000 units sold and ‘Very Positive’ from 1,735 reviews) Dwarves is taking the leap into 1.0 like that one dwarf in that battle that one time who didn’t want to tell the elf. Available on PC (Steam), Switch and mobile (iOS and Android), the platform expansion brings the infectious dwarven mayhem to handhelds and pocket devices for exciting pick-up-and-go action.

“Four years of development and beards that grew longer with every iteration. This game was born from sleepless nights, wild ideas, and amazing community feedback. It’s an homage to dwarves, chaos, and the sheer joy of letting things escalate.” says Rafael Weilharter, owner and Solo-Developer at Hamma Studios.

To celebrate the 1.0 release and platform expansion, Sidekick Publishing has launched a brand-new trailer born from a spontaneous and very fitting collaboration.

“We wanted to celebrate Rafael’s incredible work and vision with a trailer befitting of pure dwarven energy, so a Scottish accent was a must,” says Jasmin Oestreicher, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Sidekick Publishing. “Having met Ravs from the Yogscast at TwitchCon last year, Melvin [Melvin Frank, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Sidekick Publishing] and I reached out via Discord and he was on board instantly. It’s a great example of why we value direct, authentic relationships with creators who share the same spirit we do.”

On porting the game to handhelds and mobile Sebastian Tobler, Co-Founder and General Manager at ATEO says “Our core challenge was fitting the scale of a chaotic dwarven raid onto a handheld screen. We delved into the depths with Rafael, digging all the way to Moria to forge a Switch and mobile experience that captures the true essence of the game.”

In Dwarves, players build a fully customisable army from ten unique dwarf classes that eat rocks for breakfast. Take your cohort of tanks, assassins, mages and more on in a familiar roguelike loop to conquer orcs, great foes and dragons in auto-battling carnage that will have beardlings such as ‘Simon’ chomping at the bit to get back in the action with full meta progression. With millions of army and loadout compositions possible, strategy and loot are everything. Gather gear, muster the troops and master the loop for glory, for death, for loot!

Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot follows hot on the heels of Sidekick Publishing’s first published title, Deadly Days: Roadtrip which launched into early access in September 2025.
