Odds Chronicles Demo Now Available on Steam

Discover Dice-Driven Tactics and Replayable Adventure on PC

Brussels, Belgium, January 22 2026  – The dice are rolling today! Independent studios eSolu and Team Mojo Games announced that a free playable demo for Odds Chronicles is now available on Steam for PC, giving players their first hands-on experience with the tactical roguelite RPG.

The Odds Chronicles demo offers between two and four hours of gameplay, depending on player skill and choices, with strong replayability for those eager to explore different abilities, dice combinations, and tactical approaches.

Players step into the role of Evryn, a fallen royal bodyguard trapped in the mysterious Tavern outside of Time, and venture back into a land shaped by memory, chance, and consequence. The demo introduces the game’s story, grid-based and dice-driven combat, where positioning, line of sight, and smart resource management are just as important as the roll itself.

Each run is tracked through an Adventure Journal available in the Tavern hub. This journal records scores and detailed run information, allowing players to compare past attempts, analyze their choices, and experiment with new strategies on future runs.

The demo culminates in a challenging boss encounter designed to put players’ tactical planning and strategic decision-making to the test. This final battle brings together the demo’s core systems (dice management, positioning, ability synergies, and risk-taking) into a decisive confrontation. Players are invited to sharpen their strategy, embrace the odds, and see if they can defeat the boss before the run comes to an end.

With its mix of tactical combat, roguelite progression, and tabletop-inspired presentation, the demo offers a representative slice of the full game planned for its 2026 PC release, with versions for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S arriving later.

Players can wishlist the game on Steam and Epic Games Store to follow development and stay informed about upcoming updates ahead of the full PC launch in 2026.

About the game

In Odds Chronicles, you play as Evryn, a fallen royal bodyguard whose defeat at the hands of the tyrant Hyria sparks a journey across shifting lands and branching destinies. Stranded in the mysterious Tavern outside of Time, Evryn must reclaim honor, face powerful enemies, and uncover secrets that stretch beyond revenge. Along the way, additional heroes with unique dice loadouts and playstyles will join the adventure.

Combat plays out on diorama-style battlefields where positioning, line of sight, and clever use of abilities are key. Each roll of the dice generates Strength, Dexterity, and Magic resources that fuel attacks, trigger powerful combos, and unlock Wild Dice to turn the tide when you need it most. Every decision, from when to unleash a skill to how you adapt to an unlucky roll, can change the course of battle.

Between runs, the Tavern grows with new allies, upgrades, and skills unlocked through Memory Shards. This persistent progression system ensures every journey feels meaningful, while randomized events, shifting storylines, and branching choices keep each run unique.

Key Features

  • Dice-driven tactical combat on grid-based battlefields with terrain elevation, and line-of-sight mechanics
  • Branching adventure with evolving story events shaped by your decisions
  • Multiple playable heroes, each with unique dice pools, skills, and playstyles
  • Replayable roguelite progression with permanent upgrades and expanding Tavern features
  • Strategic relics, consumables, and dice enhancements to build your own approach
  • Atmospheric, tabletop-inspired visuals that bring the world of Lynn to life

About the Developers

Odds Chronicles is co-developed by eSolu and Team Mojo Games, a collaboration between five industry veterans and a talented junior team. With more than 75 years of combined experience across PC and console development, art, engineering, and production, the studios bring both expertise and fresh creativity to the project. United by a shared passion for role-playing games and tabletop adventures, the teams set out to create a game where dice-driven chance meets tactical depth and narrative exploration.

Arknights: Endfield is Out Now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Mobile 

GRYPHLINE Debuts the Next Evolution of the Arknights Universe with 135 Free Pulls and a Frontier Reimagined

SHANGHAIJan. 22, 2026Step into the wilderness and light the path beyond…Global publisher GRYPHLINE today announced that Arknights: Endfield has launched globally on PlayStationⓇ5, PC via the official launcher and Epic Games Store, and mobile devices via Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The 3D Industrial RPG arrives as a free-to-play title with cross-platform progression following a global pre-registration phase that surpassed 35 million sign-ups. To celebrate the global debut, players can claim an extensive array of rewards, including sign-in bonuses and milestone rewards equivalent to at least 135 pulls across different banners. 

Arknights: Endfield is the latest entry in the popular Arknights universe, a franchise that has exceeded 100 million downloads to date. This launch marks the first time the IP has expanded beyond mobile, bringing its signature strategic depth to console and PC. Arknights: Endfield introduces a new frontier storyline and a world built around exploration, real-time combat, and base-building. Players command squads of up to four Operators, combining skills, elemental synergies, and coordinated tactics across fast-paced encounters. 

“Bringing the Arknights IP into a 3D space is a huge milestone for me personally. Making that leap from 2D to 3D is no small feat as a developer, and from the start, we knew we didn’t want to make something that felt like everything else out there. Instead, we leaned into what we genuinely love playing ourselves, factory automation, and committed to seeing that idea through. It took a long time, and a lot of hard work, to turn that obsession into the Endfield you’re seeing today,” said Light Zhong, Co-Founder & Director at GRYPHLINE.“I believe people support our games because they can feel the quality and the heart behind them. I hope you enjoy the experience, and I look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue shaping the game together.”

The story follows the Endministrator (Endmin) – a legendary guardian awakened from a ten-year hibernation to lead Endfield Industries from their orbital headquarters, the OMV Dijiang. On Talos-II, players harness the Automated Industrial Complex (AIC), a system used to architect integrated production networks and power grids across the wilderness. As the Endmin, players must manage these facilities, defend the Civilization Band from organized raider clans, and investigate the origins of their self-commissioned “Zeroth Directive”. 

Key Features: 

Explore The Rugged World of Talos-II – Venture into the vast industrial landscapes of Talos-II. Lead Endfield Industries in expanding across the planet, neutralizing threats, and uncovering an unfolding mystery. 

Engage in Tactical Squad Combat – Command your entire four-operator tactical team at once, working in sync to unleash powerful combo skills. Coordinate team synergies to stack elemental effects, weaving abilities together to amplify damage through continuous combat interactions as you overcome the formidable threats of Talos-II! 

Architect Integrated Production Networks – Master the Automatic Industry Complex (AIC) to bridge the wilderness with automated production lines. Follow blueprints or design freely to produce everything from advanced gear to medicine, creating the industrial backbone required to support Endfield Industries’ expansion. 

Command from Orbit – Manage Endfield Industries’ headquarters aboard the orbital OMV Dijiang. Construct and upgrade cabins, build trust with fellow operators, and interact with guests to discover unique narrative moments. Arknights: Endfield leverages the latest graphical technologies, including native 120 FPS support, realistic snow-stepping, environmental puddle reflections, and more. Players can also toggle NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation independently. The title includes plug-and-play support on PC and mobile for both PlayStation (DualSense & DualShock) and Xbox controllers with haptic feedback for a premium, tactile experience.

Arknights: Endfield has been rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB. To learn more about the game, visit the official website and X @AKEndfield. For more information about GRYPHLINE, please visit the official company site.

The Numbers Are In: What We Learned from Titan Quest II Player Feedback

January 22, 2026, Sydney, Australia: Since Titan Quest II entered Early Access in August last year, the team at Grimlore Games has been listening closely to your feedback—and now they’re ready to share some insights.

But first, a quick message from the devs: “We want to thank every one of you who played the game and shared feedback. It really helps us focus on what matters most to you during development.”

The results speak for themselves. In recent surveys, Titan Quest II scored incredibly well, with 96% of players rating their overall experience as positive or very positive. For that, there’s only one thing to say: thank you! (again!)

Players also shared what they’re enjoying most in the game so far. Warfare is currently the most popular mastery (melee FTW!), with Storm right behind it. When it comes to bosses, Skylla takes the crown, and the fan-favourite quest so far is ‘A Turtle’s Lunch.’

Of course, even good games can get better. And that’s exactly the plan for 2026. The team will continue improving many parts of the game, expanding the world, adding new features, and giving you even more ways to enjoy your adventures.

Thanks to your feedback, a few key areas have been locked in for further improvements throughout 2026:

  • More Enemy Variety: Starting with the upcoming Centaur Update, which sends players to the Arkadian Plains, you can expect a solid batch of brand-new enemy types. And that’s just the beginning—existing areas will also receive new enemies over time.
  • Better Balancing: The goal here is simple: make more abilities feel fun and powerful, and open up even more options for diverse and exciting character builds. 
  • More Rewarding Loot: Many of you told us that finding new items could feel more impactful. Message received! The team is working on making loot drops feel more exciting and rewarding.

And there’s more on the way. Alongside these improvements, the team is continuing work on new content, and a new development roadmap for Titan Quest II will be shared soon.

Until then, be sure to check out the latest developer diary for a deeper look at the player feedback and what it means for the future of the game.

About Titan Quest II

Return to the classic mythology-inspired setting of Titan Quest and go toe-to-toe with legendary monsters as you journey across a fantastical reimagining of ancient Greece. Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution, is out of control. She is corrupting the Threads of Fate and condemning all those who oppose her to eternal punishment – including you. Take up your weapon, fight alongside gods, and change fate itself to stop Nemesis, free those she’s punished, and weave your own epic tale.

A Land of Myths and Monsters

Embark on an adventure worthy of the epics that takes you from picturesque beaches, to serene Greek temples, to ruins haunted by shades of the dead, to places where no mortal has ever ventured, including the mysterious realm of the Moirai themselves and beyond.

Battle classic creatures from Greek myth and the original Titan Quest, including ichthians, centaurs, gryphons, hippokampoi, and cyclopes, and prove that the age of heroes is far from over.

An Odyssey Through the Unknown

Titan Quest II features a unique handcrafted campaign focused on exploration, and the world is full of mysteries and secrets to discover. Legendary monsters lurk in hidden groves, strange artifacts still carry magic from bygone ages, and you never know when you will end up face-to-face with a god. Every ruin holds a secret, every statue a story. Visit memorable towns full of life and intrigue. The conversations you engage in and the items you find along your journey can lead to surprising discoveries. This is your adventure.

Glory Awaits the Bold

As your journey progresses, you will unlock powerful abilities and wield epic weapons, but the enemies you face are far from defenceless – dodge and counter their attacks, then overwhelm them with a well-timed flurry of blows. Rituals allow you to control the game’s difficulty, while deep character customisation systems ensure that there’s always a good reason to replay.

From the creators of SpellForce 3 comes a handcrafted action RPG for a new generation of mythical heroes.

Key Features:

  • Flexible Character System: In Titan Quest II, you are in control of your own fate. Form your own class by combining two masteries. Build your character around the strengths and weaknesses of both masteries, exploring different combinations of skill modifiers, attributes, and items to create your own hybrid class and find your favourite playstyle. Grow your powers from those of a young mortal to a hero to rival the gods themselves!
  • Meaningful Loot: Every item serves a function, and every character class has many options when it comes to finding the perfect equipment.
  • Challenging Action RPG Combat: Enemies form factions and work together, combining their unique skills and abilities to keep you on your toes. Use the deep character build system and access every skill at your disposal to vanquish them in this unique action RPG experience.
  • A Beautiful, Handcrafted World Rooted in Greek Myth: Encounter stunning vistas and deep caverns, and traverse the world with your divine mount, Areion. Use the powers of the gods to uncover secret locations and explore lovingly designed levels full of verticality.
  • Rich and Immersive Sound: An atmospheric soundtrack blends traditional Greek music with modern orchestral elements to create epic, memorable themes, drawing you into Titan Quest II’s unique world.

UBISOFT ANNOUNCES A MAJOR ORGANIZATIONAL, OPERATIONAL AND PORTFOLIO RESET TO RECLAIM CREATIVE LEADERSHIP AND RESTORE SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

  • New Operating Model centered around 5 specialized Creative Houses to support Ubisoft’s strategic focus
  • Refocused portfolio with a meaningfully reworked roadmap leading to significantly revised FY26 financials
  • Acceleration of cost reduction initiatives to right size the new organization and improve structural efficiency

Paris, January 21, 2026 – Today, Ubisoft announces a major organizational, operational and portfolio reset designed to reclaim its creative leadership, regain agility and drive a sharp rebound, renewing the Group’s trajectory toward sustainable growth and robust cash generation. This will be delivered through three main pillars:

  • A new operating model;
  • A refocused portfolio with a meaningfully revised 3-year roadmap;
  • And the rightsizing of the organization.

Ubisoft’s strategic decision to undertake this major reset is driven by the continued shift toward a persistently more selective AAA market and an increasingly competitive shooter landscape, combined with the growing challenge for publishers to create brands in a context of higher costs. Nevertheless, when successful, exceptional AAA content has more financial potential than ever. While last years’ progress with its production processes translated into improved levels of quality for Ubisoft games in 2025, today’s market environment requires that the Group step-changes how it is organized and operates with a view to delivering exceptional games quality at more competitive costs.

Against this backdrop, today’s announcement introduces a radically new value-creation model: a more gamer-centric organization, structured around creative genres, relying on integrated business units with faster, decentralized decision-making and a greater ability to quickly adapt to players’ expectations. This transformation will be supported by a rightsized and more agile organization, delivering improved structural efficiencies over time.

The new operating model will further empower the execution of the Group’s strategy, centered on Open World Adventures and GaaS-native experiences, supported by targeted investments, deeper specialization, and cutting-edge technology, including accelerated investments behind player-facing Generative AI. 2

Yves Guillemot, Founder and CEO of Ubisoft, said: “On the one hand, the AAA industry has become persistently more selective and competitive with rising development costs and greater challenges in creating brands. On the other hand, exceptional AAA games, when successful, have more financial potential than ever. In this context, today we are announcing a major reset built to create the conditions for a return to sustainable growth over time. We are transforming Ubisoft’s operating model to produce exceptional quality games on the two core pillars of our strategy, Open World Adventures and GaaS-native experiences.

At the center of this transformation are our Creative Houses, integrated business units now combining production and publishing and therefore unifying the gamer relationship. Each one is built around a clear genre and brand focus, with full responsibility and financial ownership, led by dedicated leadership teams. It is a radical move, relying on a more decentralized creative organization with faster decision making and best-in-class cross functional core services supporting and serving each Creative House.

To put the Creative Houses in the best conditions to succeed, we decided to refocus our portfolio with a meaningfully revised 3-year roadmap and accelerate our cost reductions initiatives to right size the organization. We will discontinue several projects currently in development and provide additional time to certain games, to ensure enhanced quality and maximize long term value. We will also selectively close several studios and continue restructurings throughout the Group. While these decisions are difficult, they are necessary for us to build a more focused, efficient and sustainable organization over the long term.

Taken together, these measures mark a decisive turning point for Ubisoft and reflect our determination to confront challenges head-on to reshape the Group for the long term. The portfolio refocus will have a significant impact on the Group’s short term financial trajectory, particularly in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, but this reset will strengthen the Group and enable it to renew with sustainable growth and robust cash generation. Ubisoft is entering a new phase – one designed to reclaim creative leadership and build value for players and stakeholders over the long term.” 3

A new Operating Model to support Ubisoft’s strategic focus

Ubisoft’s new operating model will be structured around five Creative Houses. These will be supported by a Creative Network providing development resources, shared Core Services and a reshaped HQ. This new organization will start operating early April.

By simplifying the organization and placing creative and financial accountability closer to where value is created, the Group is strengthening its ability to innovate and execute with greater discipline, flexibility and speed. The new model will allow Ubisoft to better deploy its creative and technical resources on a refocused portfolio.

To support the effective implementation and operation of this new model, the Group also intends to return to five days per week on site for all teams, complemented by an annual allowance of working-from-home days. This evolution is intended to strengthen collaboration, including constant knowledge sharing, and the collective dynamic across teams. In-person collaboration is a key enabler of collective efficiency, creativity and success in a persistently more selective AAA market.


Five Creative Houses, built on a decentralized model

At the heart of this reset is a new and decentralized operating model structured around five Creative Houses. These integrated business units will feature 3 major changes:

  1. They will combine game development and go-to-market functions with a gamer-centric approach, and be fully responsible for brand development, content strategy as well as editorial direction;
  2. They will be shaped by distinct creative ‘genres’ led by dedicated high-profile, incentivized teams with a unique set of expertise in those genres;
  3. They will have full financial ownership and account for economic performance.

They will be driven by clear objectives and guiding principles: A gamer centric approach, shaped by a unique set of skills and expertise towards a distinct creative ‘genre’ and a dedicated leadership team incentivized for long-term, cash generating revenue growth

Each Creative House will be organized around a distinct creative genre and designed to concentrate deep expertise in specific types of player experiences. Each Creative House will be responsible for fully owning the gamer relationship, developing must-play experiences for specific audiences and engaging player communities earlier and constantly throughout the development process.

  • CH1 (Vantage Studios), focused on scaling and extending Ubisoft’s largest and established franchises to turn them into annual billionaire brands; Brands: Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six
  • CH2 dedicated to competitive and cooperative shooter experiences; Brands including The Division, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell
  • CH3 designed to operate a roster of select, sharp Live experiences; Brands including For Honor, The Crew, Riders Republic, Brawlhalla, Skull & Bones
  • CH4 dedicated to immersive fantasy worlds and narrative-driven universes; Brands including Anno, Might & Magic, Rayman, Prince of Persia, Beyond Good & Evil
  • CH5 focused on reclaiming position in casual and family-friendly games. Brands including Just Dance, Idle Miner Tycoon, Ketchapp, Hungry Shark, Invincible: Guarding the Globe, Uno, Hasbro

In addition, there are 4 new IPs currently in development, including March of Giants. Ubisoft will communicate on their respective creative home at a later stage.  Each Creative House will benefit from dedicated leadership with a clear creative mandate and accountability. These leadership teams will include high-profile talent coming from the industry. They will be tasked with attracting and developing top-level, specialist talent, and supported by incentive schemes aligned with creative success, player engagement and long-term value creation.

Full creative and brand responsibility as well as financial ownership

Each Creative House will have end-to-end responsibility for its portfolio, overseeing the full creative and brand scope from development to publishing (brand, marketing and sales go-to-market strategy). They will also be financially accountable, both in terms of P&L and cash generation. This structure will sharpen strategic focus, reinforce execution discipline and ensure that investment decisions will be taken closer to where value is created. The model also enhances visibility into development pipelines, milestones and key risks, supporting more informed decision-making throughout development cycles.

At Group level, a new organization supporting each Creative House

The Group will set up a streamlined organization designed to serve all the Creative Houses, while preserving scale benefits and reducing complexity. The new organization will be composed of:

  • The Creative Network, which will bring together a powerful set of studios providing best-in-class production capacity and cross-functional creative expertise serving the Creative Houses. Operating within a structured, project-by-project collaboration framework, the Creative Network studios can deliver both co-development or end-to-end mandates under the strategic direction of each Creative House.
  • Core Services providing the backbone of Ubisoft’s ecosystem and acting as an enabler for the Creative Houses and the Creative Network. They will focus on delivering scalable technology, production capabilities and operational excellence across the Group and will notably be responsible for:
    • Production services including production standards and tools, localization, playtests, game analytics, QA/QC.  
    • Technology & infrastructure including game engines, online services, GenAI initiatives, IT infrastructure.
    • Business operations and services including media planning execution, influencer and direct-to-player capabilities, pricing and distribution management, customer support.

A reshaped headquarters1, focused on strategy, governance, performance management and capital discipline

The new operating model will be underpinned by a reshaped headquarters1, which will set the Group’s strategic priorities, ensure support for all Creative Houses and maintain a forward-looking view on industry trends, including technological developments and market innovations. It will notably oversee the Group’s talent management strategy, corporate communication strategy, legal services, capital allocation framework and financing, ensuring alignment between long-term strategy, financial performance and value creation.

Introducing a refocused portfolio with a meaningfully revised roadmap

In the context of a persistently more selective market as illustrated by the last quarter, and as part of the finalization of the Group’s new operating model, Ubisoft has conducted a thorough review of its content pipeline over December and January. This has led to the strategic decision to refocus its portfolio, reallocate resources and comprehensively revise its roadmap over the next three years. This will support the objective to return to exceptional levels of quality on the Open-World Adventure segment and step-change the Group’s position in the GaaS-native experiences segment, as illustrated by the recently acquired project, March of Giants. The reshaped portfolio is designed to best position the Creative Houses for success. As a consequence, the measures taken are:

  • Ubisoft has discontinued 6 games that do not meet the new enhanced quality as well as more selective portfolio prioritization criteria at Group level. These include Prince of Persia The Sands of Time remake as well as 4 unannounced titles, including 3 new IP’s, and a mobile title.
  • In parallel, the Group will allocate additional development time to 7 games in order to ensure enhanced quality benchmarks are fully met and maximize long-term value creation. This includes the unannounced title initially planned for FY26, that has been delayed to FY27.

Acceleration of cost reduction initiatives to rightsize the organization and improve structural efficiency

Ubisoft is accelerating its cost reduction initiatives as part of the transformation of its operating model, with the objective of improving structural efficiency, restoring a much higher level of organizational agility and better aligning its cost base with its strategic and creative priorities. This includes rightsizing the organization and focusing resources on core value-creating activities, notably through further restructuring1 and strict hiring discipline across all functions. The Group also continues to consider potential asset divestitures.

As part of this effort to streamline operations and adapt to evolving market conditions, the Group has already taken decisive actions to adjust its studio footprint. This includes the closure of the Halifax mobile studio earlier this month and the Stockholm studio, as well as restructurings at Abu Dhabi, RedLynx and Massive.

The current cost reduction program of at least €100 million in fixed cost savings2  versus FY2024-25, is now expected to be fully achieved by March 2026, one year ahead of the initial FY2026-27 target.

Building on this momentum, the Group is defining a 3rd and final phase of its program by setting a new objective to reduce its fixed cost base by an additional €200 million over the next two years. This brings the total reduction in fixed costs since FY2022-23 to around €500 million. This new objective is expected to bring total fixed costs to approximately €1.25 billion on a run-rate basis by March 2028, compared to €1.75 billion in FY2022-23.

Reset of short-term financial outlook reflecting a major portfolio refocus and a meaningfully reviewed 3-year roadmap

As part of its transformation, Ubisoft has taken a number of decisions impacting the Group’s release schedule and portfolio composition. As a consequence, the Group no longer considers its previously communicated FY2026-27 guidance to be an appropriate reference and will therefore update it in May 2026.  For FY2025-26, Ubisoft now expects:

  • Net bookings of around €1.5bn, translating into approximately -€330m gross margin reduction vs. guidance, mainly reflecting:
    • Changes to the current FY26 quarter release pipeline following the updated roadmap
    • Decision to postpone negotiations on certain partnerships in the context of the Group’s new operating model
  • Non-IFRS EBIT of around -€1bn, mainly reflecting both the impact of the updated FY26 net bookings assumptions described above and the following transformation-related decisions that led to a one-off accelerated depreciation of around €650m:
    • The discontinuation of 6 games
    • The allocation of additional time to 7 titles with updated revenue expectations reflecting a persistently more selective market
  • Free cash flow of between -€400m and -€500m
  • Non-IFRS net debt of between €150m and €250m as of year-end FY26, with a cash and cash equivalents position of between €1.25bn and €1.35bn vs. prior guidance of around €1.5bn

In addition, ahead of the publication of its Q3 FY2025-26 net bookings scheduled for February 12, Ubisoft is providing an indicative net bookings figure of approximately €330m, primarily driven by an overperformance linked to partnerships and reflecting a robust back-catalog. The quarter notably saw the releases of Anno 117: Pax Romana and the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora From the Ashes expansion that were praised by players and critics alike. Further details will be provided on February 12.

1 Subject to prior information or consultation with employee representatives as applicable.

2 Includes P&L structure costs + fixed portion of COGS (customer service and supply chain) + cash R&D (excluding performance-based royalties) and excludes all profitability bonuses.
