Track and Trick Legendary Creatures Today in Folklore Hunter, Co-Op Hunting Survival

Bullets can only do so much — think outside the box to outwit mythic creatures

NEW ZEALAND — Jan. 30, 2026 — Keep your head on a swivel crawling through skull-filled caves in Folklore Hunter, the co-op urban legend hunting survival game developed by Liquid Donkey Games, as it fully launches out of Early Access today with its full 1.0 release.

Surviving an encounter with the beastly, horned Wendigo is one thing, but a vampire? Few return from that hunt. Gear up and trek out into dark forests, cavernous dens, abandoned military complexes, and more to track down mythical beasts of legends before they catch onto your scent. Once they sense you, even the best hunters succumb to their otherworldly presence.

Venture out on three major Story Hunts solo or with a group of supernatural stalkers to brave the Wendigo’s lair, investigate the vacant village now home to the vampiric Strigoi, and meet the Mothman eye-to-eye to face off in a battle of telepathic fortitude. Discover hidden secrets that lead to ancient practices meant to detain arcane monsters, and do what must be done to seal them away for the greater good…or free them forever. The choice is yours (so you think)!

Join the collective of hunters all suiting up for the chance to take on Mothman after years of training in Early Access with the full 1.0 launch now fully available. Customize personal loadouts with crucifixes, cameras, explosives, bear traps, batteries, and more to prepare for chaotic Contract Hunts where every pursuit presents randomized puzzle-filled environments to search.

“The Wendigo and Strigoi encounters have grown in scope and mechanics since we launched in Early Access in 2020,” said Jayde Cohen, Founder and sole developer at Liquid Donkey Games. “The community’s requested this hunt for years now. I can’t wait for everyone to take down the Mothman in 1.0, or at least try to — it’s particularly devious compared to the first two hunts, and choosing to free it instead can lead to some unpredictable outcomes I hope you find amusing.”

Folklore Hunter tracks down distant rumblings of surreal monstrosities today on PC via Steam for $17.99 as it launches into 1.0 out of Early Access with full Steam Workshop support for the community to create and share their own custom content and mods. For more information, follow developer Liquid Donkey Games on Twitter and join fellow survivors huddled around the fire over on Discord.

The Last Gas StationPlaytest is Open for Business!

There is more than meets the eye to running this cozy gas station. Fuel up and join the playtest today!

[Delaware, United States – January 30th, 2026] — The Last Gas Station, the upcoming cozy-yet-mysterious gas station simulator developed by Alawar, is launching its first playtest today! After previous ownership disappeared, you’ve suddenly found yourself as the new manager of a gas station and quaint convenience store. It’s your job to transform this lonely, defunct gas station into a roadside wonder. One important note: the previous owner disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Might be worth keeping in mind as you open up shop.

In The Last Gas Station, electric vehicles have rendered gas stations almost obsolete, and turned gas itself into a relic lost to time. It’s your job to manage and grow this old gas station and cozy store into a thriving business for weary travellers who haven’t left gas behind just yet. Manage your gas station by stocking shelves with new goodies for hungry travellers, maintain the gas pumps, and customize the interiors and exteriors to truly make it your own. However, when night falls upon your unassuming gas station, something more sinister awakens in the wilderness. Seriously, don’t go outside.

Key Features:

  • Modernize & Expand – Rip out outdated pumps, install car maintenance services like tire inflation and oil changes, and upgrade facilities to build a fully functional roadside business.
  • Set Up Shop – Stock your shelves with snacks, car supplies, and road trip essentials. Optimize layout, improve decor, and manage pricing to turn a profit.
  • Trade & Serve – Buy and restock goods, run the checkout, and keep your customers happy if a bit uneasy.
  • Survive the Night – Lock the doors and turn off the lights. Strange things happen out here after sunset… and some of them remember you.
  • Customize Everything – Design your neon signs, decorate the store, and bring new life to your forgotten little corner of the animal world.

The Last Gas Station is a narrative-driven gas station simulator with vibrant pixel graphics and vibes that quickly shift from cozy to creepy with the drop of a hat. At its core, it’s a game about concepts rendered obsolete due to time and innovation and the effort it takes to keep something alive in a world that’s already moved on.

Ready to open up shop? Join the playtest for The Last Gas Station on Steam today to get a first glimpse into this narrative-rich sim. Wishlist The Last GasStation on Steam today and stay tuned for upcoming developer updates

Slay Zombies and Extract in a Deadly Game of Survival with The Midnight Walkers, Out Now in Early Access on PC

300,000 Steam wishlists can’t be wrong!

Pangyo, South Korea – January 29, 2026 | Oneway Ticket Studios is thrilled to announce that its hardcore zombie shooter, The Midnight Walkers, is out now on PC in Steam Early Access.

The Midnight Walkers proved to be a hit during October’s Steam Next Fest, becoming one of the top ten most downloaded demos, and just last week, it surpassed 300,000 wishlists on Steam.

Watch the Official Early Access Cinematic Trailer here:

Locked in an enormous multifloor megacomplex during a zombie outbreak, The Midnight Walkers sees players forced into a deadly game of survival by the megalomaniac Mr Nobody. Players not only have to fight off the restless undead, but also their fellow contestants.

In this PvEvE game, players will hunt down valuable loot, and gear across several floors of the Liberty Grand Center, fending off zombies with weapons such as Sledgehammers, Bows, Katanas, and Pistols. 

As each game progresses, poison gas spreads throughout the complex, forcing players to flee to new floors via stairwells or elevators, and pushing opposing players into an ever-shrinking safe space. The more enemies nearby, the harder it is to safely extract, ratcheting up the tension as players attempt to leave with their gear and their life — or leave with nothing at all.

Oneway Ticket Studios plans to update The Midnight Walkers throughout its early access period, with new weapons and floors to be added in the future, along with an entirely unique PvE mode planned for release later in 2026.

“We’re thrilled to finally be launching The Midnight Walkers,” said Ray Song, Game Director at Oneway Ticket Studios. “We’re committed to not use Early Access as a shield for incomplete quality, but to build and improve The Midnight Walkers alongside our players. We’re so excited to see players step into the harsh, zombie-filled world of the Liberty Grand Center megacomplex for the first time.”

The Midnight Walkers is available now on PC in Steam Early Access.

About Oneway Ticket Studio Oneway Ticket Studio is an indie game developer founded in 2023. Backed by a veteran team with more than 15 years of collective experience, the studio is creating its debut title, The Midnight Walkers—a tense extraction-FPS built to be equally rewarding in solo or squad play. Guided by the motto “create an unforgettable gameplay experience,” the team focuses on delivering polished, player-first design and lasting fun.

Bullet Heaven Builder ‘TerraTech Legion’ Reveals Latest Trailer & New Playable Character “JP”

London, UK – January 30, 2026 – Build the ultimate battle vehicle and prepare to crush, bash, and smash your way through swarms of cybernetic machines as Heavy Rig operator Jean Pierre “JP” Grandier, the latest playable character to be revealed for Survivors-like bullet heaven builder TerraTech Legion.

Bringing an arsenal of industrial-grade construction (and destruction) tools to the fight, jump into JP’s armour-clad Heavy Rig to unleash close-quarters chaos. Bulldoze through the Legion using JP’s Boost Armour and activate cutting-edge shield tech with Defence Shells, a unique defensive ability that absorbs hit after hit, and that can be upgraded to reflect incoming projectiles straight back to their sender. 

Unleash JP’s destructive Impact Crater ability to pull off a devastating frontal strike, and send a powerful shockwave that crushes anything in your way when you hit max boost. And for the ultimate destruction, construct your vehicle with Massive blocks to convert weight into damage – and turn your rig into an unstoppable powerhouse.

As a maverick Tech jockey, master a deep, block-based vehicle-building system to survive an army of robotic foes and eliminate the Legion. Smash swarms into scrap and build up your Tech with individual parts – from wheels, boosters, chainsaws and orbital lasers – to determine how it moves and fights, upgrading core components between missions to up your game and bring the fury on each new run.

From Genigods Lab, the team behind Sony-published hit My Hero Academia, comes an action role-playing game starring Nezha—a legendary Chinese rebel deity— launching 2028

Suzhou, China – 29th January, 2026: Genigods Lab has today revealed their brand new single-player action role-playing game Genigods: Nezha’, built in Unreal Engine 5, optimised for PlayStation 5 in collaboration with Sony, and heading to PC and PlayStation 5 platforms in 2028.

Get your first look atGenigods: Nezha in the new gameplay reveal video below:

Genigods: Nezha is a premium, pay upfront, hardcore action role-playing game set against the chaotic backdrop of ancient Chinese genesis mythology. You are the Spirit Pearl—the very first spark of life forged by Nüwa, the Goddess of Life, from the essence of earth, water, and fire. 

In this epic journey, you will evolve from a celestial artifact into the first human, a woman crafted from water and clay, before eventually being reborn as the legendary Nezha. Your journey is shared by legendary heroes: Yi, the sun-feller, and Yu, the flood-tamer. Beside you also dwells the Heart of Sacred Water—Nüwa’s sentient gift that grows with you, serving as your vital companion to solve ancient puzzles, conquer the toughest trials and learn the dark truth behind this new world.

Genigods Lab’s 100-person team previously made the critically and commercially acclaimed My Hero Academia mobile game published by Sony Crunchyroll. The team also developed the popular Condor Heroes series for mobile platforms, which recently surpassed over 10 million downloads worldwide. 

“Our mission is to ignite the epic celestial battles of Chinese mythology. In Genigods: Nezha, every skill you cast, every choice you make, writes a new line in an ancient epic—forged in your image,” explained Erdi Yao, co-founder and Head of Creative & Design at Genigods Lab. “Players will wield the heart of creation, soar between realms, awaken the three-headed and eight-armed form, and step onto the primordial battlefield to mend the shattered heavens. This is not about hearing a story; it is about etching your name into its very fabric,” he added.

For a full feature breakdown of this exciting new story-driven adventure, please see below: 

  • Celestial Combat
    Experience the dynamic scale of Chinese mythic warfare, where battle flows seamlessly between Heaven and Earth. Switch seamlessly between ground and aerial combat utilising dual stances, awaken temporary mythic abilities to perform devastating combos and mid-air strikes, and combine treasures discovered in the game world to create unique skills.
  • Colossal Gods and the Sun Tree
    Built with Unreal Engine 5 and optimized for Playstation, Genigods: Nezha delivers a one-of-a-kind Chinese-style colossal adventure: climb ancient gods towering like mountains and fight by traversing the contours of their bodies. With the help of the giant Kuafu, scale the Sun Tree that bridges mortal and celestial realms, then draw your bow to extinguish The Nine Suns and end the scorching catastrophe.
  • Water Philosophy & Jeet Kune Do Mechanics
    Genigods: Nezha’s combat is inspired by Bruce Lee’s iconic ‘Be Water’ philosophy through the Divine Water within Nezha. Her techniques adapt the essence of Jeet Kune Do. Condense water into a piercing One-Inch Flash for armor-breaking blows, or unleash water all at once, as a sweeping Dragon’s Kick to tackle crowds of enemies at once. This system encourages players to master a defensive, reactive style of combat— and requires perfect timing to parry and counter with the adaptable precision of water itself.
