0

USERJOY’s classic and distinctive tactical SRPG, The Legend of Fancy Realm Remake, launches today (Sept.10th) on Steam and the UJ Mall. After nearly 30 years, Leonard and his companions return to the Halueseon Continent, embarking once more on an adventure woven from empire, mercenaries, and fate—now with fully remade characters, environments, battle interface, and in-game presentation

The Distinctive Classic Tactics Returns! Set Foot on the Halueseon Continent Today

Originally released in 1998, The Legend of Fancy Realm combined Tactical Strategy, Character Development, Promotion System, Branching Storylines, and hidden exploration to tell the story of the mercenary Leonard and his companions as they became unexpectedly entangled in the turmoil of the Halueseon Continent. Built on the original game’s world and story, this remake completely rebuilds the characters, environments, battle interface, and in-game presentation, while refining controls and selected systems for modern play habits.  In battle, players must master each character’s abilities, skill combinations, and positioning, while using terrain, party composition, and class traits to shape their strategy. Classic elements from the original—including Kill Streak, Character Promotion, Hidden Treasures, Special Merchants, and side-path exploration—have also been retained. The full version adds brand-new side stories, special battles, character outfits, and content such as “Warfront Gambit,” first introduced in the Steam Demo. Blast to the past with the included complete 1998 classic version of The Legend of Fancy Realm, which can be launched directly from the main game.

Player-Creation Events Coming Soon as Steam Workshop Development Continues

A series of player-creation events will roll out, inviting both new and veteran players to express their creativity through the characters, story, and tactical gameplay. The event is expected to feature multiple forms of participation; even players without prior modding experience can submit videos to propose campaign content they wish to challenge. Players can define the stage setting, victory and defeat conditions, enemy formations, special rules, and more, bringing their own ideas for tactical gameplay and battlefield design to life. Selected submissions are also planned to be showcased and introduced through official community channels, allowing more players to join the discussion.  In conjunction with the previously announced Steam Workshop support plan, an official Workshop Creation Challenge will also invite players familiar with the relevant tools to create content that can be used directly in the game.

Future Additional Content Will Be Free—DLC and Steam Workshop Remain in Development Following the game’s official launch, the development team will continue producing additional content. All forthcoming DLC expansion content is confirmed to be delivered via FREE title updates for all owners of the game—at no additional cost. The upcoming DLC will feature all-new narrative content not seen in previous entries. Details regarding characters, storylines, and stages remain under active development, with full reveals coming as soon as everything is finalized.

 REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA – 10 September, 2026: Today, Electronic Arts has unveiled the official Soundtrack for EA SPORTS FC™ 27, bringing together 120 tracks from 36 nations to mark the start of the new 2026/27 football season. 

For more than two decades, the EA SPORTS FC Soundtrack has become part of the ritual of a new season, and been one of football and music’s most recognisable cultural touchpoints, connecting millions of fans with new artists from around the globe.

As anticipation builds ahead of Early Access on 18 September and the game’s worldwide launch on 25 September, the EA SPORTS FC™ 27 Soundtrack continues its legacy with a diverse mix of internationally renowned artists, breakthrough talent and unreleased music, reflecting the global communities that make up The World’s Game.

The FC 27 Soundtrack, exclusively on Spotify, spans established artist favourites, including Interpol, The Neighbourhood, The Strokes, The War on Drugs, Royal Blood, Nia Archives, Chase & Status, Little Simz and Barry Can’t Swim, alongside exciting emerging talent such as The Itch, Sycco, Bruvvy, Temper City, bed and Rose Gray. Fans can also discover unreleased gems from Cage The Elephant, Mura Masa and many others, alongside Sayf’s “TOP OF THE POPS (Red Bull 64 Bars)” track, in a collection that captures the anticipation, energy and excitement for the football season ahead.

“I’ve been playing EA SPORTS’ football games since 2007; It’s something that’s been with me since I was a kid,” said KYAN, EA SPORTS FC 27 Soundtrack Artist. “I always had this dream of one day turning on the game and hearing my own song playing there. It’s crazy that it’s happened now, with the track ‘Garage’ with Enzo from the Block and Mu540, because our friendship also started through the game. We didn’t even speak the same language, but we could spend hours playing and understanding each other. I feel like 10-year-old Kyan would go crazy if he knew that one day this was going to happen.”

“EA always puts together a killer soundtrack for FC, so we were thrilled to have our brand-new song ‘Dying In Reverse’ make its debut this year,” said Cage the Elephant, EA SPORTS FC 27 Soundtrack Artist. “We can’t wait to hear it in the game.”

This year, music plays a bigger role than ever before across the EA SPORTS FC experience. 

Through The Grounds*, a new shared social football playground in FC 27, players will experience distinct musical identities across three districts inspired by English, French and Argentinian football heritage: Parkside, Montclair, and Zeiza. Each location is brought to life through its own curated Soundtrack, immersing players in the sounds and atmosphere that represent the identity of each football hub. 

Additionally, FC Mobile is celebrating its third anniversary by allowing players to vote for music to be added in-game. Following a vote on fan-favourite tracks from across EA SPORTS FC Soundtrack history, players will also have the chance to make their voice heard and vote on which of five songs from the new FC 27 Soundtrack should be added to the game from September 10-12. The winning retro track will arrive in FC Mobile on 24 September, followed by the community’s favourite FC 27 track on 12 October.

“Over the past 20 years, the EA SPORTS FC Soundtrack has become an international institution,” said Steve Schnur, Worldwide President of Music & Marketing for EA Games. “The world’s game is annually enhanced by the world’s soundtrack, and FC 27 delivers one of our most globally representative playlists yet. These are the songs that will both define the year ahead and last a lifetime. We’re proud to deliver this exceptional celebration of artistry, culture and the power of music to bring people together like never before.”

Listen to the EA SPORTS FC 27 Soundtrack on Spotify today. Players can go back in time and relive some of the most iconic songs from FC soundtracks through the Ultimate Mix playlist also on Spotify.

Post-Apocalyptic Survival Game Harbor Enters Closed Alpha Playtest, Inviting Players to Help Shape Its Development

0

Los Angeles, California – September 10, 2026 – Developer Castilva Games and publisher Wandering Wizard announced that Harbor, an open-world post-apocalyptic survival game, will be hosting a closed alpha playtest, giving a select group of players an early opportunity to experience the game and provide feedback that will help shape its ongoing development. The closed alpha will kick off on September 11 at 3pm PT.

Set in a world defined by scarcity and lawlessness, Harbor challenges players to survive by gathering limited resources, crafting essential equipment, building shelters, forming alliances, trading with other survivors, and protecting everything they have built. With no rules and danger around every corner, players must determine who they can trust while fighting to secure the resources necessary to survive.

At the center of the experience is Harbor, the game’s sole safe zone, where players can take on missions, trade resources, and find temporary security before venturing back into the surrounding world.

The closed alpha represents an important step in Harbor‘s development, allowing the development team to evaluate the game’s core experience while gathering direct feedback from early players. The team is approaching the playtest as an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and better understand the game’s long-term potential.

As with any early alpha, players should expect an experience that is still actively being developed, including bugs, balance issues, incomplete features, and other areas that will continue to evolve. The development team is encouraging players to approach the playtest with this in mind, allowing the team the time and space needed to address issues and incorporate feedback as Harbor continues to take shape.

The team’s approach builds on Harbor‘s broader commitment to community-driven development. As the game progresses toward Early Access, player feedback will continue to inform improvements and additions to the experience, including expanded environments, new biomes, enemies, locations, resources, crafting options, equipment, weapons, and building customization.

Players have until the end of day, September 10, to sign up for the Harbor closed alpha. The playtest begins, September 11 at 3pm PT. Players interested in getting an early look at Harbor and helping shape its development are encouraged to sign up now for their chance to participate.

Players interested in following Harbor‘s development can add the game to their Steam wishlist and join Harbor’s Discord to stay up to date on future announcements.

Montreal – September 10, 2026 – Indie studio Blindspot Games announced today that its 1v1 turn-based arena tactics game Infinity: HexaDome Tactics is officially available now on Steam. After 3 years of development, playtests and extensive community-driven reworks, the first PC video game set in the acclaimed Infinity sci-fi board game universe has finally arrived.

In the months leading up to its release, Infinity: HexaDome Tactics received a massive wave of enhancements. One of the most significant changes is the transition to fully deterministic combat. Driven by extensive player feedback, the development team has completely eliminated dice rolls ahead of launch. Combat is now fully deterministic – attacks always hit, critical rolls are gone, and actions unfold exactly as previewed. Other key additions include a new Haqqislam arena based on the iconic faction from the Infinity universe, a new PvP mode featuring seven active arena zones designed for longer and more strategic battles, and graphic novel-style cutscenes between PvE missions.

Beatbox & Gata Legends Pack – Introduces an exclusive board-game-inspired skin for the iconic, high-speed champion Gata alongside BeatBox, a tactical ranged contender specializing in battlefield control. BeatBox dominates the HexaDome through unconventional positioning, using his signature deployable Boomboxes to continuously pressure enemies with Stunned and Marked effects. His unique kit allows him to fire through walls for extra damage when breaking line of sight, force distant opponents near his Boomboxes to waste their abilities with Hypnotic Beat, and unleash a high-volume Mega Box ultimate to disrupt entire teams, perfectly blending legacy and noise in the digital arena.

Galaxy Pack – A cosmic-themed customization collection inspired by the vast universe, featuring exclusive galaxy designs, shadow energy aesthetics, and stellar skins for all 12 core champions to bring a distinctive galactic style to the HexaDome.

Founders Pack – An exclusive collection featuring Blindspot Games’ signature colors, “Founder” skins for Maximus, Gata, and the camdroid. A unique player banner, custom tactical card designs, an exclusive emote, and a distinctive victory celebration effect to leave your mark on the HexaDome.

Legendary Bundle – Сombines Infinity: HexaDome Tactics game with all DLCs available now and some of the upcoming ones.

About the game

Infinity: HexaDome Tactics is a 1v1 turn‑based tactics game with fast-paced battles in a sci-fi arena of a future combat show. Build your roster of champions – each with unique abilities, roles, and synergies – and outmaneuver your opponent in PVE or PVP mode on a compact hex‑grid arena. Victory isn’t just about taking out rivals: capture zones, hit sponsor objectives, work the crowd, and chain the perfect turns when it matters most.
