Fill and bet blood vials with a new demo launching on Steam Monday, Feb. 9

TOKYO — Jan. 29, 2026 — Menherarium, the bloodletting blood-betting roguelite dice survival game developed by Tezcatlipoca and published by Phoenixx Inc., gathers blood bags for its Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026 launch on PC via Steam, alongside a new demo releasing on Steam on Monday, Feb. 9, 2026. 

Meet Menhera-chan, a charming yet psychotic gambling connoisseur who may or may not enjoy the taste of blood. Endure a seven-day gauntlet of throwing dice with Menhera-Chan, where each day punctures the jugular with new rules to remember — not to worry, she doesn’t mind a broken rule here and there. 

Roll the dice each day to recover blood, but throw a bad hand, and Menhera-chan sips a bit of the player’s blood. Stop the bleeding with health-restoring items, and tilt the odds in your favor with modifiable dice and re-roll chances. 

End each day by tuning into the Menhera Network, where she grades each day’s performance based on various categories, including Vitality, GutsChivalry, and Likeability. Why do those metrics matter while gambling? Remember, Menhara-chan is a bit quirky, to say the least. 

Menhara-chan grants coins for every day survived — use them to purchase consumables, extra rolls, or emergency health kits. Cheat and outthink Menhera-chan to survive as many days as possible before the seventh day approaches. Who knows how satiated she’ll be by the end of this bloody affair? 

“Our first demo during last October’s Steam Next Fest really showed a thirst for Menhera-chan’s twisted game,” said Tezcatlipoca’s Director. “With next month’s release, we can’t wait to draw more victims into her strange, sanguine domain.” 

Menherarium launches on PC via Steam on Feb. 18, 2026. Follow Phoenixx and Tezcatlipoca on X for the latest updates.

SayGames, publisher with more than eight billion downloads, reveals its debut PC-first title

Jan. 29, 2026 – Publisher SayGames and developer PLAYSTROM today reveal Shipping Store Simulator 2037, the management sim with robotic employees, coming Q3 2026 to Steam for PC. This release marks the first time SayGames has launched a title as a PC-first experience, following the multiplatform success of My Little Universe and more than eight billion downloads across its portfolio.

Opening up Rocket Post for package pickup and delivery was a risky endeavor, especially when QuickBox dominates the city of Cranelock. At the start, you and you alone have to receive incoming deliveries, label packages for customers to pick up, and then hand them over. It can all seem like too much…thankfully in the year 2037, robots exist and after earning some revenue, can handle the menial tasks at Rocket Post.

Keep Rocket Post running smoothly by purchasing robots to handle key tasks, while also managing the budget, and finding opportunities to expand. Help maintain the robotic staff, as they sometimes need repairs, or can slip on spills in the store. Treat them well, purchase supplies as necessary and enjoy the satisfaction of Rocket Post becoming both a figurative and literal well-oiled machine.

As Rocket Post expands, Cranelock’s VIPs will take notice of its success, and want to do business. Let the robots hold down the fort, while handling deliveries via van, drone, and other methods to try and expand to become Cranelock’s biggest and best shipping store, but only at the pace you want to advance at.

“We aimed with Shipping Store Simulator 2037 to find that sweet spot between something that’s cozy and relaxing to play while providing the fun that comes from grinding and building up your business,” said Ivan Bogdanchuk, CEO and Founder, PLAYSTROM. “If you like to min-max everything possible, or just enjoy unwinding with meaningful progress in a low-stakes environment, our game has something for all fans of the genre.”

“We have enjoyed a very fruitful relationship with PLAYSTROM for many years, and we have each played a significant role in each other’s success,” said Yegor Vaikhanski, CEO & Co-Founder, SayGames. “Shipping Store Simulator 2037 is the kind of easy to pick up but hard to put down fun that we prioritize in our titles, just available first on PC.”

Shipping Store Simulator 2037 releases Q3 2026 on Steam for PC. The game will support English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language text.

New regions will expand Jagex’s fantasy survival game in the months ahead, as it continues to navigate a successful expedition through Steam Early Access.

Thursday, 29th January 2026, Cambridge, UK –  Jagex, creator of the iconic RuneScape franchise, has today unveiled further details on the next uncharted regions of Ashenfall set to emerge from the mists of RuneScape Dragonwilds over the next year. Featured as part of today’s community summit livestream, these new and mysterious areas – Dowdun Reach, Umbral Sands, and Scorned Wilderness – will expand the world and continue the Kuldra Saga, which began with the game’s launch into Early Access in April 2025.

Watch the community livestream here: https://www.twitch.tv/rsdragonwilds 

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an epic, open-world survival and crafting game set on Gielinor’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall, where solo players or teams of up to four, embark on quests to discover why untamed, transformative magic spills across the broken, fractured land. This latest deep dive into the upcoming early access content comes soon after Jagex recently announced sales of the game has broken the one million sales milestone.

Dowdun Reach: Madness of Zamorak

Scheduled to launch towards the end of March, Dowdun Reach is an area choking under the shadow of Zamorak, the God of Chaos. At its heart is a mountain fortress lost in the mists of long ago, now haunted by the twisted, tormented Black Knights.

Focused on the fortified stronghold’s labyrinthine halls, battlements, armouries, and inner chambers, players must complete layered quests, overcome its knights in deadly combat, and explore every hidden corner. Those who dare push into the inner keep and beyond will uncover materials needed to craft mithril-tier gear and weapons, but nothing comes easily. Deeper within, an even greater challenge awaits: Blue Dragons.

Dowdun Reach will also see a brand-new skill for players to max out, as Fishing makes its debut in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. The overall level cap for each skill in the game will also be increasing to 99, with content being retroactively added to existing skills in future content updates.

Umbral Sands: Fire of Fuzan

Coming this Summer, the vast desert region of the Umbral Sands comes to the game, bringing with it the blistering heat from the sun bearing down upon baking ground. Featuring a dangerously dynamic environmental system, players exposed to its rays will be drained of health, making their use of shade and the time of day critical for survival. But of course, while the daytime heralds the unbearable heat and attacks from the elemental Kot’Haar, nighttime brings with it new dangers for players to face…

Ruled by Fuzan, the Red Dragon General, the Umbral Sands will introduce a selection of iconic RuneScape items to the game, including Adamant tier gear, Red Dragonhide, and Yew Bows and Staffs, together with Icthlarin, the Demigod of the Underworld.

Scorned Wilderness: Rage of Kuldra
Due to launch in September 2027, Scorned Wilderness will bring the Kuldra Saga to a stunning conclusion as players face off against Kuldra, the God Eater.

In addition to the major updates above, RuneScape: Dragonwilds will also receive monthly minor updates adding new quests and activities to the game as well as adding quality of life fixes.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds is available now on Steam Early Access.

Stoke Games dives into strategic mechanics, shows off special abilities, and talks tank teamwork

San Francisco, USA – January 29th, 2026 – Stoke Games has today shared a new gameplay overview trailer for Tyr, their free-to-play multiplayer tank shooter. The trailer gives future players a look at how Tyr’s gameplay emphasizes strategy over twitch reflexes. Find out why positioning is key, how you can make the most of your armor by playing the angles, what role different vehicles play on the battlefield, and get a look at some fun special abilities in action.

In Tyr, teams of eight face off in tank combat, piloting a roster of specialized armored vehicles that each bring unique capabilities to the battlefield. Upgrade and evolve each tank to suit your playstyle as you learn how each tank’s unique profile can complement your team’s strategy. Focus on the vital task of spotting enemies with a mobile light tank, snipe from distance with a deadly-but-vulnerable damage dealer, wade into close engagements with a heavy, and discover plenty more ways Tyr’s tanks can turn the tide in your team’s favor.

Tyr recently expanded its private playtest community, and Stoke Games is opening the door for more players to join the fray and help make Tyr something special. Join the private playtest community at https://stoke.firstlook.gg.

“This community has been incredible to build Tyr alongside,” said Veigar Bouius, Co-Founder & Product Director at Stoke Games. “Our playtesters have helped shape this game at every step, and seeing the group grow into a community of meme slingers and competitive players has been fantastic.

Explore, Strategize, and Survive in this Unique Hybrid of Roguelite and Tower Defense by Solo Developer qLate

[Ukraine] January 29, 2026 — Solo developer qLate and indie.io are proud to announce that Everwarder, an exciting blend of roguelite exploration and survival with strategic tower defense gameplay, has launched on Nintendo Switch! Set in a world beset by darkness, players take on the role of a magical guardian tasked with pushing back the dark with dazzling neon lights and spawned defenders, protecting the life of a trapped spirit. 

The crystal containing the spirit is the nexus of defense – all is lost if it falls to the endless stream of enemies coming from the darkness. Players need to set up defensive lines, spawning defenders using energy collected from fallen foes and expanding the crystal network to clear the map and uncover secrets waiting beneath the black. However, instead of the usual system of static defenses, Everwarder gives players full freedom of movement to explore the map and face the enemies head-on.

The challenge lies not in optimizing the layout of defenses, but rather responding to the changing situation and controlling the flow of enemies: The faster the darkness is destroyed by the light, the faster the enemies spawn. Going too fast risks overwhelming the defenders, while going too slow bottlenecks the ability to explore. This dynamic lies at the heart of the game, ensuring that every run is unique. Coupled with random spawning of abilities, artifacts, and other assets throughout each playthrough, players will be constantly challenged to improve their strategy and encouraged to boldly experiment. 

Failure is simply another step forward: Every run unlocks new opportunities in future runs thanks to the persistent progression system, where players spend hard-earned resources to upgrade units, unlock new artifacts, and acquire other upgrades that will change their future runs and make them more resilient in their valiant stand against the darkness. 

Everwarder is Now Available on Nintendo Switch eShop.  Players can wishlist and follow the game now to stay updated on its release and future announcements – and join the developer and the community on the official Discord!

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 today 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.

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.

An Adventure Built on Mystery 

Bristol, UK – January 29, 2026 – Yogscast Games is thrilled to share more details on Rhell: Warped Words & Troubled Times, ahead of its March 12, 2026 release to help players understand what they can expect from this semi-open world game.

Rhell: Warped Worlds and Troubled Times is a mystical adventure that welcomes players into a realm entrenched with ancient magic and wonder. Players take on the role of the titular character Rhell, who sets out on an intriguing journey to return a vanished world to its former glory. It’s an exciting start to get familiar with the game as important rules are explained upfront with the remaining to be uncovered by exploring the unknown.

The game is an invitation for players to enter a magical world filled with cryptic encounters and solve puzzles using unorthodox methods as curiosity is rewarded and mysteries will unfold in unexpected moments of discovery. “Magic in Rhell isn’t just something the player uses” says game creator Alice Jarratt from SlugGlove “Every location carries traces of ancient influence, and we designed the adventure so players uncover that history organically, rather than being told how to navigate it.”  

There are 14 main areas in the game which players can explore by solving a series of puzzles. Puzzles are solved by casting spells using unique combinations of magical keywords called “runes”. Whether players are exploring environments or interacting with NPC’s, the journey serves as a constant reminder that something mystical is at play. 

These main areas also hold meaningful hidden secrets, and the choices players make will alter the game’s outcome. The element of experimentation differentiates Rhell from other adventure games – as players are not guided through a pre-determined path but are put amidst a world which slowly reveals itself.     

Developed by SlugGlove, Rhell will be released on Steam on March 12, 2026. Keep up-to-date with the latest news and information, visit theYogscast Games website.
