TOKYO — Jan. 19, 2026 — MOCHI-O, the adorable apocalyptic tower defense shooter adventure developed by Zxima and published by Kodansha Creators’ Lab, launches on PC via Steam today with a 20% discount until Sunday, Feb. 1st, 2026.

Doomsday looms, and the nation’s last line of defense is… a seemingly harmless hamster? Nurture MOCHI-O with lots of love to foster fresh firepower, then aim it toward approaching foes to blast destructive bullets and beams in their direction.

Feed MOCHI-O bundles of seeds during battle to gain experience points, and enhance its world-saving abilities with upgrades to firing rate, crit chance, attack range, and cooldown reductions. Between waves of warfare, cuddle with the adorable hamster to forge an unbreakable bond and unlock even stronger weapons like proximity mines, rail cannons, and time-stopping laser beams.

Decorate MOCHI-O’s room with over a hundred pieces of art, and enjoy classic tower defense action combined with retro pixelated visuals and a comical “gentle apocalypse” narrative. Experiment with custom builds as MOCHI-O’s nurturing system encourages dozens of different playstyles.

“There are so many games about the end of the world, but many of them have a very serious tone,” says developer Zxima. “The contrast of cuteness and destruction in MOCHI-O leads to a light-hearted take on the apocalypse, echoing themes of my previous works.”

MOCHI-O is now available on PC via Steam for $4.99 with a 20% launch discount lasting for two weeks. The language supports English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. For more information, follow Jii-ma on X / Twitter.

Battle Royale Returns With A New Philosophy, “Less Looting, More Shooting” 

Zephyr Cove, NV (Jan 19, 2026) 1047 Games announced Update 2.2 for SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded, introducing Arena Royale, a reimagined battle royale mode built on the studio’s arena-first philosophy. Update 2.2 also delivers new Arena content, with two new Arena maps, all new Mastery Challenges, and more. The update goes live Wednesday, January 22, on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.

SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded 2.2 full overview video below.

Arena Royale drops 24 players into one of four massive biomes, including the brand-new urban battleground, Outskirts, for fast-paced matches designed to incorporate arena shooter elements. The mode removes buy stations in favor of instant upgrades, includes respawning to get players back into action, and introduces Arena Events that bring classic arena objectives into the battle royale format.

“When we sat down to design Arena Royale, we knew we wanted to push it closer to that arena shooter feel,” said 1047 Games Design Director Josh Watson. “We kept coming back to this core idea: less looting, more shooting.”

SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded’s Update 2.2 exemplifies 1047 Games’ commitment to the arena shooter genre. Taking the best parts of arena shooters (fast movement, tight gunplay, quick respawns, and high action) and battle royales (variety, scale, epic finales, and high stakes), Arena Royale is the battle royale for arena shooter fans.

Alongside the launch of Arena Royale, Splitgate fans can also expect

• Two brand-new arena maps:
• Tri-Hard – A high-flying arena built around launch portals and jump pads, turning every fight into aerial chaos. This map leans lighthearted and unhinged, and is all about risky plays, epic launches, and catching opponents off guard.
• Runway – Set in a neon cityscape inspired by the energy of Shinjuku, Runway is designed around strong portal routes, fast rotations, and clear power positions that reward movement and aggression.
  
• An all-new limited-time event, “Teabag Takeover”
• You read that right. Teabag Takeover arrives on Friday, January 23! This new Limited Event is a celebration of a long-forgotten sign of respect. Some might even call it an elegant greeting, for a more civilized age. Players can jump into matches and teabag their opponents to earn points toward unlocking new teabag themed rewards.

• A new mastery camo, Isotromic
• Awarded to players who unlock chase camos on every available weapon. If you see Isotromic in a match, you know that player put in the work.

• Added Proximity Chat to Arena Royale.

• A wide range of bug fixes, balance updates, and overall stability improvements.

The mobile and cinema experience expands into a bold new era of cinematic gaming on PC.

London, UK – January 19, 2026. This February, the line between film and video games disappears.

Fans can Wishlist the game now. 

Following its success on iOS and Android and an interactive cinema residency in London, The Run now arrives on PC as a highly ambitious and immersive FMV experience, delivering a new form of entertainment where players don’t just watch the story… they live it.

The Run is intense, emotional, terrifying and deeply personal because the audience isn’t passive. You’re inside the story, making life-or-death decisions as it unfolds. I think players are ready for this new kind of experience, and I can’t wait for PC audiences to step into it.”

Featuring a stellar cast led by Roxanne McKee (Game of Thrones, Strike Back) and George Blagden (Vikings, Versailles), the experience also includes unforgettable appearances from horror icon Dario Argento and screen legend Franco Nero. With more than three and a half hours of filmed content, multiple branching storylines, twenty unique deaths and five distinct endings, no two playthroughs are ever the same.

Beyond traditional gaming, The Run has captivated audiences worldwide with screenings at Raindance London, MOTELX Lisbon, Dinard, and Imagine Amsterdam, before taking over London’s Genesis Cinema for a two-month residency where audiences voted on critical story decisions in real time using glow sticks, transforming gameplay into a shared cinematic event.

• Timed & Paused Choices for solo play or live audience participation
• 20 Unique Deaths determined entirely by player decisions

The full version of Kingdom Loop is planned for release on PC in the first half of 2026, with console versions to follow on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Kingdom Loop: Where Hero Loop Meets Tactical Turn-Based Strategy

Kingdom Loop is a strategic roguelike with 3D visuals and an isometric camera. It draws inspiration from the cult hit Loop Hero and classic turn-based strategies like jRPGs and Heroes of Might and Magic III.

In Kingdom Loop, players guide a hero on a quest for the Grail in a medieval fantasy world where humans and the undead are at war. Each faction has its own traits, and all 8 heroes have unique abilities that change how the game plays.

Build Your Kingdom in an Endless Loop

Kingdom Loop’s gameplay mixes kingdom building, resource management, army development, and combat.

Players guide a hero around an endless loop that circles the Grail Temple. The land has over 200 tiles, each with unique effects that players place using cards. After each loop, enemies get stronger, so players must adapt or risk defeat. Losing can teach valuable lessons for the next attempt.

Kingdom Loop’s turn-based combat relies on dynamic mechanics, where players make important choices about unit selection, positioning, and targets. The game also offers deep systems for managing resources, recruiting different units, and building structures.

Kingdom Loop stands out for its high strategic depth. Strong gameplay variety, combined with significant randomness, allows extensive experimentation with card decks, factions, and synergy creation. As a result, the game offers not only high replayability but also a wide range of viable tactical approaches.

Try the Free Kingdom Loop Demo Now

A free demo of Kingdom Loop has been on Steam since January 15. It gives players an early look at the game and a chance to try its main mechanics.

In the demo, players control one hero from the human faction, each with unique stats. With the card deck, players can try out kingdom building and look for synergies between buildings, resources, and artifacts.

Kingdom Loop Demo – Key Features:

• 1 human faction hero (unique attributes and card deck)
• Endless loop-based gameplay
• Card-driven kingdom building
• Tactical turn-based combat
• Resource management and synergy creation
• Collection of powerful artifacts
• High replayability

The full PC version of Kingdom Loop is expected in the first half of 2026, with the exact date to be announced. Console versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 will come later.

ABOUT BLACKPINK/YG

BLACKPINK is a global artist from YG Entertainment consisting of JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA. BLACKPINK, who captivated the public at the same time as its debut single [SQUARE ONE] was released in August 2016, has since become the world’s top group by making big hits with each song released such as ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’ and ‘Kill This Love’.

Thanks to this success, BLACKPINK became the first Korean girl group to be invited to the Coachella Festival, the largest music festival in the United States, in both 2019 and 2023, establishing an unrivalled position in the global music market. In October 2020, BLACKPINK won trophies at numerous awards ceremonies by hitting various global charts, including the U.S. Billboard, with their first full-length album ‘THE ALBUM’. In particular, the album became the first million-seller of the female K-pop group in history, reaching the record of 1.3 million copies of sales volume.

BLACKPINK then wrote a unique new history with their second full-length album [BORN PINK], which was released in 2022. The album has set the record of 2.82 million copies of sales volume, letting BLACKPINK the honour to have the title as the first K-pop girl group to become a ‘double million-seller’. The album also topped the U.S. Billboard 200 and the U.K. official album charts at the same time. This is the first achievement of an Asian female artist and also is the first milestone in 21 years among every girl group around the world.

Moreover, since October 2022, BLACKPINK [BORN PINK] tour, which has been held 66 times in 34 cities for about a year, drew 1.8 million audiences. This is the highest figure ever for a K-POP girl group. If the Coachella Festival in which the girls performed as the first Asian headliner (250,000 total) and Hyde Park in the U.K. (65,000) are added, they have worked with 2.115 million music fans.

BLACKPINK’s influence as a global top artist is getting stronger day by day. They have expanded their influence through continuous collaboration with global pop stars, and all four members are active as ambassadors for famous fashion and beauty brands as representative style icons leading the trend. In addition, the number of subscribers to BLACKPINK’s official YouTube channel surpassed 99 million, ranking first in the field among both male and female artists around the world.

In July 2025, BLACKPINK made history as the first K-pop girl group to perform at Goyang Sports Complex. The group has embarked on a large-scale world tour, with 33 concerts across 16 cities in stadium venues throughout North America, Europe/UK, and Asia. The quartet also announced the release of a new album, a move expected to further cement their status as a top global act.
