Sidekick Publishing launch auto-battler roguelike DWARVES: GLORY, DEATH AND LOOT in 1.0 TODAY

Gather gear, muster the troops and master the loop for glory, for death, for loot, on PC, Switch and mobile

Berlin, Germany – January 22, 2026Sidekick Publishing, solo developer Hamma Studios and porting studio ATEO are excited to announce that the early access auto-battler roguelike, Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot officially launches in 1.0 TODAY. 

[all proceed to yell ‘DWARVES’ in unison with thunderous pride]

Watch the brand new launch trailer, featuring dwarf-lore accurate voiceover by Ravs of Yogscast and Scotland fame below

Following its popular Steam early access period (with over 130,000 units sold and ‘Very Positive’ from 1,735 reviews) Dwarves is taking the leap into 1.0 like that one dwarf in that battle that one time who didn’t want to tell the elf. Available on PC (Steam), Switch and mobile (iOS and Android), the platform expansion brings the infectious dwarven mayhem to handhelds and pocket devices for exciting pick-up-and-go action.

“Four years of development and beards that grew longer with every iteration. This game was born from sleepless nights, wild ideas, and amazing community feedback. It’s an homage to dwarves, chaos, and the sheer joy of letting things escalate.” says Rafael Weilharter, owner and Solo-Developer at Hamma Studios.

To celebrate the 1.0 release and platform expansion, Sidekick Publishing has launched a brand-new trailer born from a spontaneous and very fitting collaboration.

“We wanted to celebrate Rafael’s incredible work and vision with a trailer befitting of pure dwarven energy, so a Scottish accent was a must,” says Jasmin Oestreicher, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Sidekick Publishing. “Having met Ravs from the Yogscast at TwitchCon last year, Melvin [Melvin Frank, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Sidekick Publishing] and I reached out via Discord and he was on board instantly. It’s a great example of why we value direct, authentic relationships with creators who share the same spirit we do.”

On porting the game to handhelds and mobile Sebastian Tobler, Co-Founder and General Manager at ATEO says “Our core challenge was fitting the scale of a chaotic dwarven raid onto a handheld screen. We delved into the depths with Rafael, digging all the way to Moria to forge a Switch and mobile experience that captures the true essence of the game.”

In Dwarves, players build a fully customisable army from ten unique dwarf classes that eat rocks for breakfast. Take your cohort of tanks, assassins, mages and more on in a familiar roguelike loop to conquer orcs, great foes and dragons in auto-battling carnage that will have beardlings such as ‘Simon’ chomping at the bit to get back in the action with full meta progression. With millions of army and loadout compositions possible, strategy and loot are everything. Gather gear, muster the troops and master the loop for glory, for death, for loot!

Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot follows hot on the heels of Sidekick Publishing’s first published title, Deadly Days: Roadtrip which launched into early access in September 2025.

Curve Games Announces MECHBORN, The Upcoming Roguelike Deckbuilder, With A Twist

Classic ‘90s mech anime merges with Greek mythology in this fresh deckbuilder experience, with a Pre-Alpha demo available on Itch.io from January 21.

London, UK – January 22, 2026 – Developer Turtle Juice and publisher Curve Games have today announced MECHBORN, an innovative roguelike deckbuilder experience that blends ’90s mech anime with Greek mythology – but with an added twist. In MECHBORN, your mech is your deck; freely mix and match mech parts and unlock new pilots to craft devastating custom decks, carving a path across three ever-evolving continents to protect Earth’s colonies and repel the Kaiju incursion. 

Whilst Earth is on the brink of destruction from a constant onslaught of Kaiju attacks, only one organization has the ability to fight back. TITANCORE forges the ‘MECHBORN’, elite pilots who go through a mech-synchronization process to develop the skills needed to defend Earth’s colonies, and hold off the hordes of invading enemies. 

The trailer below offers a first look at MECHBORN’s kaiju-slaying combat and roguelike deckbuilding systems:

MECHBORN reimagines traditional deckbuilding with the unique Conveyor Belt system. Every card played is immediately replaced, forcing players to think ahead, position cards strategically, and chain pilot abilities to forge mech-pilot synergies and unleash attack combos that can turn the tide of battle.  

Ernani Rocha, Lead Designer at Turtle Juice shared: “With MECHBORN, we wanted to rethink what moment-to-moment strategy feels like in a roguelike deckbuilder. The conveyor-belt card system fundamentally changes how players plan, adapt, and position themselves every turn.”

Key Features

  • Pilots: Play as one of 12 pilots with unique skills and backstories. Combining different pilots with different mechs can even lead to unique and devastating pilot-mech synergies to crush enemies. 
  • Adaptive Exploration: There are no fixed routes in MECHBORN – you can move and fight in any direction you choose across the three expansive continents. But beware! Fuel is finite, so mismanagement of resources might result in a stranded pilot ending up as Kaiju prey. 
  • Endless Builds: Players can freely mix and match mech parts to add new cards to their deck – either creating custom builds for deadly combos or fully matching sets for valuable perks. 
  • Conveyor Belt System: MECHBORN doesn’t use a traditional hand of cards. Instead, players start with 7 cards in their ‘Conveyor Belt’. With each card that’s played, a new one enters. Position support cards to unlock new abilities and combine with pilot skills to create combos that reshape the course of battle!

MECHBORN is coming to Steam, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 in late 2026. Players can play the Pre-Alpha demo on Itch.io, which is live now.

It will be Steam Deck verified at release. As part of a multi-title partnership with Xbox, the title will also be soon available on Xbox consoles.

From the team behind I Am Your Beast comes Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, a sharp arcade satire that skewers financial systems and corporate greed. It’s set in the same universe as Strange Scaffold’s 2021 hit, Space Warlord Organ Trading SimulatorSpace Warlord Baby Trading Simulator is part of Strange Scaffold’s multi-game partnership with Xbox, which has included recent titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown and Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3.

Odds Chronicles Demo Now Available on Steam

Discover Dice-Driven Tactics and Replayable Adventure on PC

Brussels, Belgium, January 22 2026  – The dice are rolling today! Independent studios eSolu and Team Mojo Games announced that a free playable demo for Odds Chronicles is now available on Steam for PC, giving players their first hands-on experience with the tactical roguelite RPG.

The Odds Chronicles demo offers between two and four hours of gameplay, depending on player skill and choices, with strong replayability for those eager to explore different abilities, dice combinations, and tactical approaches.

Players step into the role of Evryn, a fallen royal bodyguard trapped in the mysterious Tavern outside of Time, and venture back into a land shaped by memory, chance, and consequence. The demo introduces the game’s story, grid-based and dice-driven combat, where positioning, line of sight, and smart resource management are just as important as the roll itself.

Each run is tracked through an Adventure Journal available in the Tavern hub. This journal records scores and detailed run information, allowing players to compare past attempts, analyze their choices, and experiment with new strategies on future runs.

The demo culminates in a challenging boss encounter designed to put players’ tactical planning and strategic decision-making to the test. This final battle brings together the demo’s core systems (dice management, positioning, ability synergies, and risk-taking) into a decisive confrontation. Players are invited to sharpen their strategy, embrace the odds, and see if they can defeat the boss before the run comes to an end.

With its mix of tactical combat, roguelite progression, and tabletop-inspired presentation, the demo offers a representative slice of the full game planned for its 2026 PC release, with versions for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S arriving later.

Players can wishlist the game on Steam and Epic Games Store to follow development and stay informed about upcoming updates ahead of the full PC launch in 2026.

About the game

In Odds Chronicles, you play as Evryn, a fallen royal bodyguard whose defeat at the hands of the tyrant Hyria sparks a journey across shifting lands and branching destinies. Stranded in the mysterious Tavern outside of Time, Evryn must reclaim honor, face powerful enemies, and uncover secrets that stretch beyond revenge. Along the way, additional heroes with unique dice loadouts and playstyles will join the adventure.

Combat plays out on diorama-style battlefields where positioning, line of sight, and clever use of abilities are key. Each roll of the dice generates Strength, Dexterity, and Magic resources that fuel attacks, trigger powerful combos, and unlock Wild Dice to turn the tide when you need it most. Every decision, from when to unleash a skill to how you adapt to an unlucky roll, can change the course of battle.

Between runs, the Tavern grows with new allies, upgrades, and skills unlocked through Memory Shards. This persistent progression system ensures every journey feels meaningful, while randomized events, shifting storylines, and branching choices keep each run unique.

Key Features

  • Dice-driven tactical combat on grid-based battlefields with terrain elevation, and line-of-sight mechanics
  • Branching adventure with evolving story events shaped by your decisions
  • Multiple playable heroes, each with unique dice pools, skills, and playstyles
  • Replayable roguelite progression with permanent upgrades and expanding Tavern features
  • Strategic relics, consumables, and dice enhancements to build your own approach
  • Atmospheric, tabletop-inspired visuals that bring the world of Lynn to life

About the Developers

Odds Chronicles is co-developed by eSolu and Team Mojo Games, a collaboration between five industry veterans and a talented junior team. With more than 75 years of combined experience across PC and console development, art, engineering, and production, the studios bring both expertise and fresh creativity to the project. United by a shared passion for role-playing games and tabletop adventures, the teams set out to create a game where dice-driven chance meets tactical depth and narrative exploration.

Arknights: Endfield is Out Now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Mobile 

GRYPHLINE Debuts the Next Evolution of the Arknights Universe with 135 Free Pulls and a Frontier Reimagined

SHANGHAIJan. 22, 2026Step into the wilderness and light the path beyond…Global publisher GRYPHLINE today announced that Arknights: Endfield has launched globally on PlayStationⓇ5, PC via the official launcher and Epic Games Store, and mobile devices via Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The 3D Industrial RPG arrives as a free-to-play title with cross-platform progression following a global pre-registration phase that surpassed 35 million sign-ups. To celebrate the global debut, players can claim an extensive array of rewards, including sign-in bonuses and milestone rewards equivalent to at least 135 pulls across different banners. 

Arknights: Endfield is the latest entry in the popular Arknights universe, a franchise that has exceeded 100 million downloads to date. This launch marks the first time the IP has expanded beyond mobile, bringing its signature strategic depth to console and PC. Arknights: Endfield introduces a new frontier storyline and a world built around exploration, real-time combat, and base-building. Players command squads of up to four Operators, combining skills, elemental synergies, and coordinated tactics across fast-paced encounters. 

“Bringing the Arknights IP into a 3D space is a huge milestone for me personally. Making that leap from 2D to 3D is no small feat as a developer, and from the start, we knew we didn’t want to make something that felt like everything else out there. Instead, we leaned into what we genuinely love playing ourselves, factory automation, and committed to seeing that idea through. It took a long time, and a lot of hard work, to turn that obsession into the Endfield you’re seeing today,” said Light Zhong, Co-Founder & Director at GRYPHLINE.“I believe people support our games because they can feel the quality and the heart behind them. I hope you enjoy the experience, and I look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue shaping the game together.”

The story follows the Endministrator (Endmin) – a legendary guardian awakened from a ten-year hibernation to lead Endfield Industries from their orbital headquarters, the OMV Dijiang. On Talos-II, players harness the Automated Industrial Complex (AIC), a system used to architect integrated production networks and power grids across the wilderness. As the Endmin, players must manage these facilities, defend the Civilization Band from organized raider clans, and investigate the origins of their self-commissioned “Zeroth Directive”. 

Key Features: 

Explore The Rugged World of Talos-II – Venture into the vast industrial landscapes of Talos-II. Lead Endfield Industries in expanding across the planet, neutralizing threats, and uncovering an unfolding mystery. 

Engage in Tactical Squad Combat – Command your entire four-operator tactical team at once, working in sync to unleash powerful combo skills.

Architect Integrated Production Networks – Master the Automatic Industry Complex (AIC) to bridge the wilderness with automated production lines. Follow blueprints or design freely to produce everything from advanced gear to medicine, creating the industrial backbone required to support Endfield Industries’ expansion. 

Command from Orbit – Manage Endfield Industries’ headquarters aboard the orbital OMV Dijiang. Construct and upgrade cabins, build trust with fellow operators, and interact with guests to discover unique narrative moments. Arknights: Endfield leverages the latest graphical technologies, including native 120 FPS support, realistic snow-stepping, environmental puddle reflections, and more. Players can also toggle NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation independently. The title includes plug-and-play support on PC and mobile for both PlayStation (DualSense & DualShock) and Xbox controllers with haptic feedback for a premium, tactile experience.

The Numbers Are In: What We Learned from Titan Quest II Player Feedback

January 22, 2026, Sydney, Australia: Since Titan Quest II entered Early Access in August last year, the team at Grimlore Games has been listening closely to your feedback—and now they’re ready to share some insights.

But first, a quick message from the devs: “We want to thank every one of you who played the game and shared feedback. It really helps us focus on what matters most to you during development.”

The results speak for themselves. In recent surveys, Titan Quest II scored incredibly well, with 96% of players rating their overall experience as positive or very positive. For that, there’s only one thing to say: thank you! (again!)

Players also shared what they’re enjoying most in the game so far. Warfare is currently the most popular mastery (melee FTW!), with Storm right behind it. When it comes to bosses, Skylla takes the crown, and the fan-favourite quest so far is ‘A Turtle’s Lunch.’

Of course, even good games can get better. And that’s exactly the plan for 2026. The team will continue improving many parts of the game, expanding the world, adding new features, and giving you even more ways to enjoy your adventures.

Thanks to your feedback, a few key areas have been locked in for further improvements throughout 2026:

  • More Enemy Variety: Starting with the upcoming Centaur Update, which sends players to the Arkadian Plains, you can expect a solid batch of brand-new enemy types. And that’s just the beginning—existing areas will also receive new enemies over time.
  • Better Balancing: The goal here is simple: make more abilities feel fun and powerful, and open up even more options for diverse and exciting character builds. 
  • More Rewarding Loot: Many of you told us that finding new items could feel more impactful. Message received! The team is working on making loot drops feel more exciting and rewarding.

And there’s more on the way. Alongside these improvements, the team is continuing work on new content, and a new development roadmap for Titan Quest II will be shared soon.

Until then, be sure to check out the latest developer diary for a deeper look at the player feedback and what it means for the future of the game.

About Titan Quest II

Return to the classic mythology-inspired setting of Titan Quest and go toe-to-toe with legendary monsters as you journey across a fantastical reimagining of ancient Greece. Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution, is out of control. She is corrupting the Threads of Fate and condemning all those who oppose her to eternal punishment – including you. Take up your weapon, fight alongside gods, and change fate itself to stop Nemesis, free those she’s punished, and weave your own epic tale.

A Land of Myths and Monsters

Embark on an adventure worthy of the epics that takes you from picturesque beaches, to serene Greek temples, to ruins haunted by shades of the dead, to places where no mortal has ever ventured, including the mysterious realm of the Moirai themselves and beyond.

Battle classic creatures from Greek myth and the original Titan Quest, including ichthians, centaurs, gryphons, hippokampoi, and cyclopes, and prove that the age of heroes is far from over.

An Odyssey Through the Unknown

Titan Quest II features a unique handcrafted campaign focused on exploration, and the world is full of mysteries and secrets to discover. Legendary monsters lurk in hidden groves, strange artifacts still carry magic from bygone ages, and you never know when you will end up face-to-face with a god. Every ruin holds a secret, every statue a story. Visit memorable towns full of life and intrigue. The conversations you engage in and the items you find along your journey can lead to surprising discoveries. This is your adventure.

Glory Awaits the Bold

As your journey progresses, you will unlock powerful abilities and wield epic weapons, but the enemies you face are far from defenceless – dodge and counter their attacks, then overwhelm them with a well-timed flurry of blows. Rituals allow you to control the game’s difficulty, while deep character customisation systems ensure that there’s always a good reason to replay.

From the creators of SpellForce 3 comes a handcrafted action RPG for a new generation of mythical heroes.

Key Features:

  • Flexible Character System: In Titan Quest II, you are in control of your own fate. Form your own class by combining two masteries. Build your character around the strengths and weaknesses of both masteries, exploring different combinations of skill modifiers, attributes, and items to create your own hybrid class and find your favourite playstyle. Grow your powers from those of a young mortal to a hero to rival the gods themselves!
  • Meaningful Loot: Every item serves a function, and every character class has many options when it comes to finding the perfect equipment.
  • Challenging Action RPG Combat: Enemies form factions and work together, combining their unique skills and abilities to keep you on your toes. Use the deep character build system and access every skill at your disposal to vanquish them in this unique action RPG experience.
  • A Beautiful, Handcrafted World Rooted in Greek Myth: Encounter stunning vistas and deep caverns, and traverse the world with your divine mount, Areion. Use the powers of the gods to uncover secret locations and explore lovingly designed levels full of verticality.
  • Rich and Immersive Sound: An atmospheric soundtrack blends traditional Greek music with modern orchestral elements to create epic, memorable themes, drawing you into Titan Quest II’s unique world.

Season 15 of MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE launches today with a new character!

Season 15 of MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE begins today, introducing Fumikage Tokoyami, a new Class 1-A hero.

Unleashing the power of his Quirk, Dark Shadow, Tokoyami delivers devastating attacks with his monster-like entity, enveloping himself in shadow to enhance his abilities. Taking on the Assault role, he harnesses the darkness within to strike with coordinated, high-pressure offense alongside Dark Shadow. His special actions include Black Ankh, boosting melee power and mobility, and Twin Wings of the Black Arm, enabling aerial leaps, midair gliding, and activation even while Black Ankh is active.

Season 15 also introduces a brand-new stage, Neo Academia, recreating dramatic locations from the anime’s final chapter, including the Coffin in the Sky, Todoroki House and Jaku City Hospital. Alongside the new battlefield, players can look forward to exclusive costumes and character illustrations added through ongoing updates.

Season 15 is packed with special Events! Unlock Midoriya’s U.A. Track Suit, Monoma’s Hero Costume, new emotes, voice lines, enhancement parts, and much more.

MY HERO ULTRA RUMBLE is available to play for free on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
