Explore a Fiery Dungeon and Extinguish New Foes in Action Hack-and-Slash VOIN’s Inferno Update, Available Now

Continue the path of cleansing across a blazing new landscape

SEATTLE – June 15, 2026 – VOIN, the hack-and-slash action RPG set in a dark fantasy world from solo developer Nikita Sozidar and publisher tinyBuild, calls upon the aid of flames in the Inferno update available now on PC via Steam.

Elemental avatar VOINreturns in a blaze of glory with the game’s third major update. Slash through scorching enemy swarms, an expansive dungeon, new items, and rebalanced difficulty levels, among other quality of life improvements. 

Step through The Thousand Names Atheneum, a blistering locale with breathtaking sights to behold. Traverse winding corridors riddled with foes, gaze in awe at the open-air vistas, and face the Fleshsmith Ramzedram in this multi-layered dungeon five times larger than the Cathedral of the Other Side. 

Orchestrated by the Mother Herald, tear through never-ending waves of new enemies. Swiftly vanquish up to 300 foes at once, and cut them down in style with freshly forged weapons dealing elemental damage. Uncover artifacts to gain an upper hand, but beware as they may act in HER favor instead.

Conquer new tasks scattered throughout the map, and claim randomized rewards at the end of every run. The Inferno update also introduces rebalanced difficulty levels, improved attack speed rates, and reworked save systems, among other changes to keep HER reign lasting forevermore. 

“Inferno is a huge step toward the vision I have for VOIN,” said solo developer Nikita Sozidar. “Much of what I’ve dreamed of for the final release is already here, but there’s still more to come and I can’t wait to share what’s next!”

VOIN is available on Windows PC via Steam Early Access for USD 19.99, alongside the newest Inferno update. The game supports English, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Ukrainian languages.

SFTP DEMO NOW AVAILABLE ON STEAM

– A crazy football take on the game of checkers  –

London,  June 15, 2026  – Sparkling Vinegar and Tiny Dragon Games announced today that the demo for their upcoming game, SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro, is now available on Steam.

SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro drops you into the high-energy chaos of a wild football league where classic checkers meets hard-hitting strategy and the football fantasy of offensive and defensive lines, ball carriers, and big collisions.

The game casts the player as a British ex-soccer coach hired to manage an American football team and bring it to the highest ranks of a very special league. While the standard rules of checkers apply, the player will alternate between attack and defense, trying to outsmart their opponent. Winning the traditional way in Checkers, or bringing the ball to the final line, the player learns to unleash game-changing special powers that can flip the match in an instant: Rewind the last turn or deliver a dummy and block a tile, the game isn’t over until it’s over (and the referee isn’t exactly helping).

The game lets the player charge through the story mode, defeat the league’s toughest teams and their totally unhinged coaches, and unlock powerful new abilities, fame and new sponsors as they climb their way to football glory. 

The demo features the bronze league of SFTP. The full game, coming this Summer, will feature the rest of the tournament, each with new teams and their unhinged coaches, teaching the player new powers, and leading to an epic final match. The full game will also include two additional modes:

  • An arcade mode, where the player can hone their skills in quick matches against the 3 different difficulty levels of the computer, or fight one of their friends in local multiplayer on the same PC. 
  • An Online multiplayer mode, where players compete against one another in public or private lobbies.

The full version of  SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro is scheduled to release this Summer on PC, and players can add it to their wishlist on Steam now.

Watch the Wreck Runners console announcement trailer:

The extremely benevolent and not at all suspicious Trustwell Corporation has an urgent contract and it needs you and up to three friends to head to the Bermuda Triangle. You’ll explore the vast reaches of this tropical destination in search of valuable loot and profits for your mother company. Just don’t ask about the ominous and encroaching Fog. 

Hop into your all-terrain and aquatic vehicle, the ORCA, and venture out into the murky depths, unsafe skies, and a world that’s collapsing around you, aiming to locate precious salvage. Your Scrapjack tool can help too, as you wrangle with its physics-based grappler to wrest loot from difficult to reach places. 

Every run is unpredictable and you’ll need to brave unnatural creatures and the elements, including that pesky Fog, to get out safely. In between these runs, you’ll have the opportunity to turn your loot into treasure. Use your earnings to gain better equipment, upgrades, and even a fresh look for you and your crew. Being a wreck runner isn’t always easy, but with comms and collaboration, you’ll become Trustwell’s best employees.

It combines moderate complexity and divisional-level strategy with historically inspired units and production. Play as any major nation from the Axis, Allies, or Comintern. Manage production, military units, and prominent historical commanders. Lead land, naval, and air forces against rival nations.

Realistic World Map and Tile-Based System
In Total Victory, a modified Mercator map with NATO symbols or, colorful silhouettes icons, highlights military units unique to each nation. Manage the deployment of a wide range of period-based military units used throughout the war, each with unique attributes.

Command carriers, battleships, cruiser, destroyer, and submarine groups in land, air, and sea operations. Monitor your nation’s overall manpower and oil, as they could be crucial to the war’s outcome. Ore fuels the industry that produces war materials for steel, tanks, aircraft, and support units. Through continued research, explore over twenty technological advances that unlock new units, combat enhancements, and intelligence to enhance your nation’s military power.

Strategy-First Gameplay Total Victory replaces the pain of endless menu-clicking, often found in other popular RTS games, with an easy-to-use interface. With an automatic reinforcement and supply mechanic, players can now focus more on making strategic decisions rather than unit upkeep. Players can also enjoy multiple ways to play. Battle against an AI opponent and enable add-on bonuses for rival alliances in readiness, production, and more for an increased challenge.
