Etheria: Restart Season SS6 Begins Today, Adding New Animuses, Modes and More

Dive into SS6 Pyrite Nyx now

Shanghai, ChinaSeptember 3, 2026 | XD Games is thrilled to announce that the latest Etheria: Restart season — SS6 Pyrite Nyx —  begins today. In addition to four new playable Animuses, this brand new season also introduces new PVE and PVP modes, new character outfits, new main story chapters, and a special celebration event to mark the first anniversary of Etheria: Restart’s global launch.

Watch the SS6 Pyrite Nyx trailer below:

SS6 brings a series of new benefits and themed events to Etheria: Restart, beginning with an event that enables players to complete missions and collect Sleight Scrip tickets. Those tickets can be exchanged for various resource rewards, including Pyrite Tally, a key event item that players can flip to earn a random share of a massive 100 million Hydra Crystal prize pool.

One of the main ways to earn tickets for the draw event is a new mode called Pyrite Plunder. This server-wide faction event sees players joining one of two phantom thief groups — the Umbral Prowlers or the Pyrite Pageant — and tasks them with earning as many event points as possible by completing various tasks.

These points contribute to an overall effort to reduce the shared HP pool of a series of strongholds on a map. As players work together to push the frontline forward and open the path to the main central stronghold, they’ll also earn plenty of rewards, including Sleight Scrip and event items to be exchanged in the shop. 

Watch the 1st Anniversary Celebration trailer below:

SS6 will also introduce new game modes for players to tackle. Desynced Recursion is a seasonal, idle-style PvE mode where retro, pixel-art Animuses take the field to confront endless stages in pursuit of leaderboard rankings, progression resources, and selectable pixel Avatars. Auto Arena is an additional idle PvP mode wherein players set a team of Animuses and battle automatically, trying to rack up wins and earn points for their chosen faction.

Two new Main Quest story chapters will also debut throughout SS6, alongside a new Special Episode. In Chapter 11, Umbra Haunt, players head off in search of Beyontin again, encountering another unexpected incident. Chapter 12, Beyond Blossom, then reveals that Hyperlinkers face an enemy hidden in the shadows.

SS6 will bring a number of new Animuses to Etheria: Restart, starting today with Jolt. Jolt is a new kinetic, damage-dealing Animus equipped with electrical powers and a giant hammer. After taking a fatal hit in battle, Jolt can enter the Thunder Spirit state, allowing her to stay in the fight and keep the pressure on foes. 

Watch the New Animus Jolt trailer below: 

Additional characters will be added to Etheria: Restart throughout SS6, including Kynessa, a brand-new Apex Animus, due to arrive in the second phase of the season from 23 September. The final Animus drop of the season comes on 14 October, introducing Syen and Auroral Nell. 

Additionally, SR Animus Diting will receive Animetry Awaken in SS6, allowing Hyperlinkers who max out all of his skills to unlock additional enhancements. 

For more information on the above and everything else that’s coming in SS6 Pyrite Nix, including the new Hyper Colosseum modes, SS6 season launch log-in bonuses, unlockable skins, the season-themed puzzle, and more, you can watch the Hypertalk Ep. 9: SS6 Preview on the official Etheria: Restart YouTube channel, read the SS6.1 patch notes and seasonal balance adjustments.

Etheria: Restart is available to play for free now on PC, iOS, and Android.

Wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin adds PowerWash Simulator 2 crossover, new Trinket Finder and more in 1.6 update

Quality of life improvements and bug fixes make trinket restoration more relaxing than ever!

London, England – September 3rd, 2026 – “Best Small Studio” indie game developer Spilt Milk Studios has unleashed the latest update to their fan-favourite wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin. The 1.6 “Spick and Span” update introduces a host of community-requested features and improvements, alongside a special crossover with PowerWash Simulator 2, adding a new gnome trinket from the beloved cleaning series. Trash Goblin is also now available as part of a Steam bundle with PowerWash Simulator 2, giving players the chance to pick up both cosy experiences together.

Chief among the new features is the Trinket Finder, which allows you to find lost trinkets or just locate something specific. Now if you’re looking for something that’s fallen down the back of your bed, or become hard to reach behind the Soak Tub or Customer Bell, you’ll have an easy way of sniffing it out. It’s also just super handy to find things in busy areas, or when you’re not sure what is where in your busy shop. 

On the technical side the game now properly supports ultra widescreen monitors, and we’ve also made changes to how the system writes to save files so corruption should be a thing of the past, and proper messaging is in place for any existing corrupted files..

Other quality of life changes include loads of fixes and tweaks for our mercy timer system, determining which trinkets are prioritised for the player in their sack, and there have been fixes to stop NPCs asking for things you’ve already sold, and they’re no longer refusing to accept trinkets either. Spilt Milk Studios also confirmed that Trash Goblin is coming to mobile, with an iOS and Android version planned to bring the cosy restoration experience to players on the go.

“We massively expanded Trash Goblin with its Artist of Brimhaven DLC and the 1.5 in May, but we’re constantly learning from our community about what we can do to make being a trash goblin an even more relaxing experience,” said Andrew Smith, Creative Director at Spilt Milk Studios. “Much like our titular goblin friend, we’re tinkerers too, and we want to ensure we’re giving back to the community by evolving Trash Goblin into the best game it can be. So thank you all for your feedback, as we continue to expand Trash Goblin into its ultimate form.”

More on Trash Goblin:
Trash Goblin lets you customise your myriad of already-peculiar goods by combining these trinkets together in almost endless ways, uncovering, cleaning, upcycling & recolouring them into even more strange and wonderful new items to meet the eccentric requests of your colourful customers. Get to know your regulars so you can make custom pieces tailored around their desires – which will fetch you even more money! 

Grow your business! Spend your savings to upgrade your shop, buy new and better tools that offer additional ways to restore your trinkets – making them even more valuable – and expand your space, customising it to your tastes.

Timberborn’s 1.1 Update Gives Beaver Engineers Even More Ways to Build, Dig, and Manage Their Settlements

New statistics, watertight buildings, monuments, attractions, and more arrive in the latest update

WARSAW, Poland – September 3, 2026 – Polish studio Mechanistry has released the 1.1 update for Timberborn, adding a new set of content and quality-of-life features to the beaver-themed sandbox city-builder. The update builds on Timberborn’s existing systems, while adding new statistics for goods and population, watertight buildings, Tier 4 monuments, faction-specific attractions, a new desert plant, new maps, and new beaver workwear.

With Update 1.1, players can take a closer look at how their settlements are developing through new goods and population statistics, including adjustable graphs and global district-level views. New watertight buildings also expand the ways players can work with Timberborn’s 3D water physics, including the Impermeable Tubeway, which allows Iron Teeth beavers to travel through Levee walls without water leaking through.

The update also adds two new maps: Pillars and Nomads. On Pillars, beavers must survive the usual wasteland dangers while making use of limited, fractured space on the upper level. Nomads, on the other hand, incorporate water flow changes across the vast, arid map, as cycles change, creating a settlement challenge that may require beavers to mitigate.

Update 1.1 Key Features:

  • Track Your Settlement: Monitor goods and population through new statistics, adjustable graphs, and global or district-level views
  • Explore New Maps: Test your settlement-building skills on the fractured terrain of Pillars or the changing water flows of Nomads
  • Build With Water in Mind: Use new watertight buildings including Airlock, Impermeable Power Shaft, and Compact Mechanical Pump to expand your water-engineering possibilities
  • Reach New Heights: Construct the new Tier 4 Hall of Abundance for Folktails or Arch of Progress for Iron Teeth, providing another milestone between Tier 3 monuments and endgame Wonders
  • Expand Faction-Specific Attractions: Each faction receives two new unique attractions, including the Folktails’ Sauna and Domed Garden, along with the Iron Teeth’s Massager and Dance Pit.
  • Grow the Succulent: Cultivate the new desert plant, which grows on dry land and stores water that can be harvested to prevent your population from getting thirsty
  • Dress to Impress: New workwear gives scavengers, miners, foresters, gatherers, and lumberjacks new looks

With Timberborn’s 1.1 update available now, players can jump into the expanded sandbox and put their settlements to work. Track how populations and resources change, experiment with new water-engineering tools, pursue new faction-specific monuments and attractions, and discover the Succulent as you continue building your beaver civilization.

With over 200 handcrafted roles spanning Innocents, Meddlers, Underlings and Traitors, no two cases play out the same way.

Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction is available to wishlist now on Steam, with a demo available for eager sleuths looking to test their skills ahead of launch. Players can also join over 1,300 detectives in the official Discord community.
