Finals Week Cheats Its Way to Steam on October 29

Ravenna & Warsaw – October 16, 2026 – Put the textbooks away. Finals Week, the chaotic co-op cheating simulator, will launch on Steam on October 29, 2026.

Set during the final week of exams at a delightfully dysfunctional 90s-style school, Finals Week challenges groups of friends to pass a series of increasingly difficult tests by doing absolutely anything except studying.

Copy answers from classmates. Pass textbooks around. Whisper over proximity chat. Send answers through your indestructible cellphone. Distract the professor. Crawl through secret passages. And if another student refuses to share their notes… well, diplomacy is optional.

Just don’t get caught.

The teacher patrols the classroom, listens for suspicious conversations and has a worrying talent for throwing erasers with deadly accuracy. Get busted and you may find yourself equipped with increasingly ridiculous restraints designed to make cheating significantly harder – though never impossible.

Cheat together, fail together. Finals Week is built around co-op chaos. Everyone passes, or everyone fails.

Players will need to communicate and improvise using an increasingly questionable arsenal of cheating tools, including:

  • cellphones, walkie-talkies and binoculars;
  • paper balls and throwable objects;
  • textbooks hidden around the classroom;
  • a pen that doubles as a tranquilizer blowgun;
  • classroom equipment, secret routes and environmental distractions;
  • and, naturally, each other.

Players can also draw on almost anything – desks, walls, sheets of paper and even their friends – creating plenty of opportunities for useful exam notes and significantly less useful artwork.

Between exams, squads can hang out in the school hall, play basketball, mess around with the environment, plan their next strategy and unlock new outfits, hairstyles and colors.

Finals Week launches on Steam on October 29, 2026.

Raw Fury’s Pinball Shooter, Appulse, Launches November 26 on PC  

A Brand New Demo, Featuring a New Weapon, Enemy, and Ability, Now Available in Steam Next Fest 

At the Galaxies Autumn Showcase, Swedish indie publisher Raw Fury and developer Le Rado announced that their pinball-inspired, top-down shooter, Appulse, launches on November 26 on PC. Ahead of launch, a brand new demo of the game will be available to players beginning October 19 in Steam Next Fest. 

In Appulse, players are challenged to master flippers and weapon recoil to control movement, craft powerful builds, and climb the leaderboard in a vibrant intergalactic war. Players must navigate the board, unlock game-changing perks, and lead the Vektor Dynamics fleet to victory against the Iron Accord.

Key features in Appulse include: 

  • Create Custom Arsenal and Fleet – As players level up using roguelite features, they will be granted a perk, allowing players to upgrade their ball, weapon, ability or board. Players will be able to choose between three random cards to create the build that suits them, as well as be able to board new ships. Each new board conquered brings a unique powerful upgrade, including a drone, turret, and repairpacks. 
  • Multiple Tables – Launch onto enemy spaceships using an ejection cannon, where unique challenges and special quests await. Conquer new shuttles, expand the fleet, and gain the edge needed to win the war.
  • Precise Combat – Choose a weapon to take down hostile robots, but every shot comes with a twist, as recoil propels players in the opposite direction. Use momentum alongside flippers to control movement, master positioning, and navigate the table with precision.
  • Space Cadet Pinball Inspirations – Set in a reimagined space genre with a futuristic twist, players battle laser-armed enemies across spaceship-inspired tables, defending the mothership while uncovering the mystery behind the Elysium Event. 

Appulse launches on November 26 on PC. To follow along, check out Raw Fury’s official website here.

Three Iconic Resident Evil Remakes Release on Nintendo Switch 2 Today!

London (October 16, 2026) – Spooky season has officially arrived with today’s release of three iconic Resident Evil™ games on Nintendo Switch™ 2, including Resident Evil™ 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil™ 3, and Resident Evil™ 4 Gold Edition! Experience Raccoon City and the entire Resident Evil universe through the eyes of the legendary Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, and more.

With the introduction of these three remakes, all mainline Resident Evil titles, including the recently released Resident Evil™ Requiem and the upcoming Resident Evil™ Veronica, will be able to be experienced on Nintendo Switch 2!

Revisit the legacy of each game with these refreshers:

  • Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition: An unprecedented biological disaster that strikes Raccoon City drags rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, a college student who has come to town to visit her brother, into a tragedy unlike any they’ve ever faced. Amid this extreme situation where the living dead devour humans, will the two of them manage to survive?
  • Resident Evil 3: Raccoon City lies in ruins following the aforementioned unprecedented biological disaster. Told from the perspective of Jill Valentine, a survivor of the special forces unit S.T.A.R.S., this is the story of the beginning and end of the Raccoon City Incident. As the viral infection spreads through the city with every passing moment, Nemesis, the most fearsome assassin, stands in Jill’s way as she uncovers the dark secrets of Umbrella Corporation. Can she escape this desperate threat?
  • Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition: Six years after the Raccoon City Incident, Leon S. Kennedy embarks on a harrowing mission to locate and rescue the president’s daughter. Can he survive the madness of the villagers, who have been transformed into monstrous cultists? In addition to the Separate Ways DLC – another mission woven into the background of the main story – the game also includes a wealth of additional downloadable content.

While these three remakes faithfully preserve the essence of the original games, each title has been reimagined with fresh ideas and modernized gameplay via Capcom’s RE ENGINE. Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition also include an abundance of additional content from the original versions.

Stay tuned for even more Resident Evil news and announcements as the franchise continues to celebrate its 30th anniversary!

A Soldier’s Life Across Two Wars of the Undead Unfolds in The Lich Wars, a Gothic Interactive-Fiction RPG

Return to the world of The Necromancer’s Tale in a stand-alone prequel spanning 30 years of war, black magic and superstition in 18th-century Europe.

October 15, 2026 – Independent studio Psychic Software today announced The Lich Wars, a story-rich Gothic RPG that blends branching interactive fiction with RPG skills and narrative-driven combat. The game is a prequel to the studio’s critically acclaimed CRPG The Necromancer’s Tale, and its reveal trailer is available to watch now.

In The Lich Wars, you begin as a new recruit in the Rychva Musketeers in the alt-history kingdom of Rulsthen, near Venice and are soon thrown into a bloody war won by raising the dead. What follows is a military career shaped by the choices you make, as fear and superstition spread across the land until civil war erupts and the Lich rises.

The story is told through an estimated 300,000 words of hand-written narrative, with skill checks across nine RPG skills and a combat system built on hand-written prose and randomised critical-hit tables. Battles move seamlessly from duels to skirmishes, naval clashes to full-scale battlefield manoeuvres.

The Lich Wars is entirely stand-alone: no knowledge of The Necromancer’s Tale is needed and the two games can be played in either order. Returning players will meet familiar characters earlier in their lives and discover the events that brought necromancy to Rulsthen.

Visually, the branching narrative plays out in a 3D book, while key scenes are staged as hand-painted miniatures on the tabletop beside it. Hundreds of original illustrations, portraits and maps accompany the text. Partial voice acting brings key characters and moments of narration to life.

“In The Necromancer’s Tale, the years between 1700 and 1728 were only a brief prologue, yet players kept asking about them. The Lich Wars is our chance to tell that story properly and to lean into the writing that players responded to most. At its heart it’s a Gothic tale about a society haunted by its past. Necromancy works, but nobody fully understands its cost and every character remembers the war in a way that lets them live with what they did. Those questions about progress, responsibility and the ethics of war feel as relevant today as they did in the 1700s,” said Sam Redfern, lead developer and narrative lead at Psychic Software.

KEY FEATURES

  • A Soldier’s Life Across Two Wars: Live a 30-year military career, from the Venetian War of 1701-08 to the civil war of 1727-28, with three main career paths to follow.
  • Interactive Fiction Meets RPG: Explore an estimated 300,000 words of branching, hand-written narrative shaped by nine skills spanning physical, social and intellectual abilities.
  • Tabletop-Inspired Combat: Fight through duels, naval battles and full-scale warfare in narrative combat driven by randomised critical-hit tables.
  • Unreliable Memories: Follow Aleks and three lifelong friends who live through the same events but remember them differently and not always honestly.
  • A Hand-Painted Gothic World: Experience the story through a 3D book, tabletop miniatures, hundreds of original illustrations and partial voice acting.
  • The Prequel to The Necromancer’s Tale: Discover how necromancy came to Rulsthen and meet familiar characters in their earlier years, in a fully stand-alone adventure.

The Lich Wars is currently in development for PC via Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2245710/The_Lich_Wars/
