Copenhagen, Denmark / Vienna, Austria – June 8th, 2026 – Japan, in the year 1600: warlords clash, alliances crumble, and the path to becoming Shogun is anything but tidy. Into this powder keg sails Expeditions: Samurai, a new historical RPG from Campfire Cabal and THQ Nordic, inviting players to choose their own path through history in a branching story shaped by life-or-death decisions. Campfire Cabal is a Copenhagen-based studio founded in 2022 and led by veterans behind the critically acclaimed Expeditions: Conquistador, Expeditions: Viking, and Expeditions: Rome.
In Expeditions: Samurai, the famous navigator William Adams never makes history as Japan’s first European Samurai, because this time, YOU get there first. Arriving aboard the Dutch frigate “De Albatros” as the newly elected leader of a ragtag crew of privateers, players are drawn into the final chapter of a brutal civil war where every choice can shape the fate of their crew and the future of Japan. With eight companions and eight personal stories to uncover, players can build bonds that grow into friendship, rivalry, or even romance. Every crewmate has their own story to uncover – if you manage to earn their trust.
Combat in Expeditions: Samurai is dynamic. It’s fast-paced – and yet still turn-based! Blending simultaneous actions, stealth, gadgets, ambushes, and a broad mix of pirate and Japanese weaponry to an exciting tactical challenge for the players. And for the first time in series history, the adventure can also be played in drop-in/drop-out co-op – because navigating feudal Japanese politics alone is hard enough

Learn more about the runs-based story campaign and discover new locationDerven Acos in the new trailer
Guildford, UK – June 5th, 2026: Star Wars: Galactic Racer™, the upcoming Star Wars™ racing adventure made in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, has shared a deeper look at what’s to come in the runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing. At Summer Game Fest 2026, fans caught a peek at the bitter rivalry between Galactic League champion Kestar Bool and mysterious challenger Shade, discovered new location Derven Acos, and had a first look at podracing action beyond the Mos Espa Circuit.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer invites elite pilots to join the Galactic League, an underground racing league born in the lawless Outer Rim, established by racing enthusiast Darius Pax. But while Pax may have founded the League, underhanded and well-connected racer Kestar Bool has become its champion, and will stop at nothing to maintain his grip on the title. With nowhere else to turn, Pax recruits Shade, a lone racer with a personal grudge against the Bool family, to enter the Galactic League and bring an end to Kestar’s reign before his corruption grows too deep to remove.
To prove their worth in the Galactic League, pilots will engage in a series of challenges designed to test their skills. The runs-based campaign sees players carving their own path through the League, choosing between different events as they progress with unique unlocks and new challenges at every turn. There’s no turning back once an event is chosen, and if a pilot crashes too many times, they wreck out of the tour and will need to regroup, rebuild and begin again. Only certain perks and unlocks earned in previous attempts are carried over to the next run. Racers will start each tour from scratch with new decisions and choices to make for another chance to take down league champion Kestar Bool.
Kestar and Shade may be the main characters in the Star Wars: Galactic Racer campaign, but there are many other pilots vying for the top spot. In the trailer, fans can catch a glimpse of Shade exploring the paddock, where fellow racers congregate to share stories, throw down challenges, and even provide support. Each planet’s paddock features the mechanic, Hibi, and her unique workshop. Here, Shade can fit new parts either earned or bought from Hibi herself, offering stat boosts and abilities to support each player’s racing style as they prepare for races across the circuit.
The newly revealed location of Derven Acos is the ultimate test in the Galactic League – a custom-built arena designed specifically for the racing league. Derven Acos features every planetary condition that racers will have encountered throughout the tour, all combined into a mighty gauntlet that will push a pilot’s skills to the limit. Racers will need nerves of steel and a well-tuned build for the showpiece events of the Galactic League.
Fans also get their first look at the iconic podracers being piloted outside of the Mos Espa Circuit, bringing these powerful machines to planets with new challenges to overcome. In addition to discovering the part podracing plays in the singleplayer story campaign, eager racers can choose to jump straight into podracing as soon as they start playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer through the Arcade mode and will get to experience unique podracer focused online multiplayer events for the very first time.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer launches for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on October 6th, 2026. It will be available in Standard and Deluxe editions, both physically and digitally, with a physical-only Collector’s Edition available for the biggest race fans while stocks last. Pre-orders for all editions of the game are available now. Visit starwarsgalacticracer.com for more details.

Sydney, Australia – 8th June 2026: During the Xbox Games Showcase, we released our first action-packed gameplay trailer featuring nearly three minutes of footage captured completely in-game, and the first look at Hunter, the new Fuhrer who has washed the Metro in lies and propaganda to gain the ultimate power. We’re also proud to announce that the game will be in players’ hands in February 2027, where it will launch on Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, Steam and Epic Games Store.
The Hunter Trailer.
Blending jaw-dropping gameplay and impressive graphical fidelity, the trailer showcases the return of close and claustrophobic stealth-action gameplay, tunnel and surface exploration, iconic METRO mechanics and diegetic survival elements. The 3-minute premier also gives a glimpse at the new stealth weapon – The Shatun – as well as a new breaching charge for your arsenal as you delve deep into the dark heart of the Metro.
The Stranger won’t stop until the Fuhrer burns.
The Metro has been transformed by a powerful new regime and its leader, the fanatical Spartan leader known as Hunter. METRO 2039’s protagonist, The Stranger, is consumed with anger and hatred, chastising the Fuhrer for his lies and hypocrisy. As part of the Spartan Order, Hunter was a legend, a high-ranking, experienced Ranger who swore to protect the Metro. What’s left of the Spartan Order as he knew it lies in ruins, and where the Spartans were once considered selfless protectors, the Stranger believes Hunter has become the very enemy the Spartans used to fight…

SEATTLE – 8, June 2026 – Clowntown, an off-beat co-op party campaign for 2-8 clowns from 30XX developer Batterystaple Games, sounds the clarion call for all noble jesters in its grand reveal at today’s PC Gaming Show before launching on PC via Steam. Are you down to clown?
The show must go on! Take center ring in a campaign of action puzzles and evolving minigames devised by the shadowy Ringmaster. Paint masterpieces, erect mighty skyscrapers, and compose a beautiful cacophony symphony – the greatest show requires many talents! Over 100 unique minigames and action puzzles stand between you and the Ringmaster, each designed to make you think, plan, fail, laugh, then use your team’s two collective brain cells to grasp sweet victory.
It’ll take focus and coordination to survive this high-wire act – teamwork makes the dream work, but what you have is probably good enough.
Roll up in the clown car and romp through a co-op adventure in Clowntown’s primary Campaign Mode. Dance upon the Ringmaster’s palm through 5-6 hours of mostly co-operative hand-designed charades built to keep the whole party laughing, crying, and yelling at each other all at once. Start the journey as friends and strive to end on good terms!
Master Clowntown’s evolving minigame series as seemingly straightforward challenges add wrinkles that could break even the most jovial of jesters. Paintblast simple pictures in Face Paint, struggle to keep your work intact as an NPC saboteur joins in Also Paint, then embrace chaos and race against the clock when the art prompt becomes ridiculously elaborate in Probably Not Paint.
Clownishly collaborate to assemble simple words in Spelling Bee, then feel the ante increase as a timer and massive 28-letter words appear in Spelling Wasp. Finally, flip the script as Bees Spelling forces competing clowns to spell by collecting literal moving bees. Each of ClownTown’s fully fleshed out minigame sets grows and changes as you play, keeping the clown squad laughing and musing about what might come next.
After the campaign (or in between sessions, as a treat!), enjoy Party Mode’s two buffoonish flavors. Revel in Co-op to play curated or randomized minigame sets as a team, choosing customizable goals, difficulty levels, and mutators. Try Contest Mode to flip Clowntown’s co-op nature into something more sinister, as co-op games become free-for-alls, and clowns score individually instead of as a team.
All modes feature a dedicated “honk” button, and you can customize the sound it makes. Your teammates can’t mute this.
Clowntownwill raise the curtain on PC via Steam soon. Supported languages at launch include English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, Korean, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Follow Batterystaple Games on Bluesky or X for the latest updates.

LOS ANGELES – June 7, 2026 –Focus Entertainment Publishing and developer Uppercut Games are thrilled to announce Magicians: The Devil’s Deal, planned for release in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass. In this new narrative-driven FPS, you’ll step into the shoes of Jacob, a gifted stage magician drawn into a nightmarish descent through Theatreland, a distorted reflection of Victorian London ruled by the powerful Masters. Driven forward by rage and supernatural tricks, Jacob must confront these enigmatic figures and claim their power as he journeys deeper into a world shaped by ambition and deception. A dark tale of illusion and revenge awaits in Magicians: The Devil’s Deal!
Magic is more than spectacle. It’s power.
Magicians: The Devil’s Deal is a first-person action game built around a dark and gripping journey where illusions become deadly weapons and power always comes at a cost.
Betrayed by his former rivals, the Masters, Jacob is cast into Hell. While his fate of eternal torture and despair seems sealed, the Devil himself enters the scene and offers him a tempting deal: to transform his stage magic into supernatural abilities. Now, bound by this devilish pact, Jacob ventures through Theatreland, defeating each Master to claim new powers and get his revenge.
In Magicians: The Devil’s Deal, players can combine skills, adapt their approach, and master increasingly dangerous encounters across the ever-shifting Realms of Theatreland. But in this underworld ruled by hubris and temptation, every step forward only leads deeper into darkness…
Become the ultimate trickster in a new adventure from Uppercut Games
An original new IP from the talented industry veterans at Australian studio Uppercut Games, Magicians: The Devil’s Deal delivers a distinct blend of exploration, atmospheric worldbuilding, and high-stakes confrontations. The game marks the studio’s first collaboration with Focus Entertainment.

About Magicians: The Devil’s Deal
Blending combat, exploration, and stage magic, Magicians: The Devil’s Deal explores the fine line between spectacle and power, drawing players deeper into a world of ambition, betrayal and deception.
Play as Jacob Menteuro, a celebrated stage magician whose talent borders on the supernatural. Cast into Hell, he is trapped in Theatreland, a twisted domain ruled by the rivals who betrayed him: the Masters. Bound by a treacherous pact with the Devil, Jacob must survive this infernal stage, where performance is power, and deception is survival.
Stage magic is more than a weapon. It becomes a lethal discipline as cards turn into razor‑sharp projectiles, chains ensnare your enemies, and gravity itself bends to your will. Each Realm is ruled by powerful Masters and filled with relentless fanatics and nightmarish performers. Every encounter demands observation, adaptation, and mastery, pushing you to turn spectacle into dominance and fully embrace the role of the ultimate trickster.
Betrayed by his peers, hounded by his mentor and compelled by the Devil himself, Jacob hunts the Masters across Theatreland to steal their powers and uncover the truth behind their treachery. In a world ruled by hubris and temptation, his revenge offers no way out, only a deeper pull toward darkness.
Theatreland is an infernal reflection of Victorian London buried in the depths of Hell. Explore realms erupting with the twisted powers of their Masters. Nothing in Theatreland is ever what it seems, and every scene tells a story shaped by performance and deception.
Magicians: The Devil’s Deal is planned for release in 2027 and will be available on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The game will also be playable Day One with Xbox Game Pass and compatible with Xbox Play Anywhere.

Raise vampires, zombies, and werewolves while keeping your zoo profitable, your cult hidden, and the public asking as few questions as possible.
[Spain – June 7, 2026] –Remember rushing home to build the perfect zoo? Monster Zoo Tycoon brings that classic management sim magic back, then adds zombies, vampires, werewolves, world-ending horrors, and a secret cult devoted to the Dark Lord. Revealed today during the IGN Live Indie Loop showcase, Monster Zoo Tycoon is a darkly comedic management simulator from Overpowered Team and publishing partner indie.io. Behind every exhibit, attraction, and gift shop lies a second operation dedicated to expanding the influence of the Dark Lord, turning a seemingly innocent monster zoo into the perfect cover for something far more sinister.
Players take control of a growing monster park filled with creatures far more dangerous than anything found in a traditional zoo. Visitors arrive expecting a fun day out among exotic attractions, unaware that the zoo serves a second purpose. While guests explore monster exhibits and attractions, the cult works behind the scenes to expand its influence and carry out the will of the Dark Lord.
Building a successful zoo means more than designing exhibits and attracting guests. Every creature comes with its own unique needs, behaviors, and dietary requirements. Some thrive on blood. Others prefer brains. A few require souls. Keeping monsters happy is essential because when containment fails, escaped creatures can attack visitors, spread chaos throughout the park, and trigger disastrous chain reactions.
At the same time, the cult must continue to grow. Visitors can be captured using traps disguised as harmless attractions, then recruited into the organization, sacrificed to generate Faith, or repurposed to support the zoo’s expanding collection of supernatural residents. As Faith grows, players unlock powerful Dark Lord’s Favors, new facilities, and increasingly dangerous opportunities.
Balancing monster management, public relations, cult operations, and catastrophic breakouts is the key to success. The better the zoo performs, the more visitors arrive. The more visitors arrive, the more opportunities emerge for a cult devoted to expanding its influence across the world.
Key Features
Build and manage a monster-filled zoo inspired by classic tycoon simulators
Raise and care for vampires, zombies, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures
Operate a secret cult beneath your park’s family-friendly facade
Capture visitors and choose whether to recruit, sacrifice, or feed them to your monsters
Manage creature needs, exhibit conditions, and dangerous breakout events
Generate Faith to unlock powerful Dark Lord’s Favors and new gameplay systems
Send cultists on expeditions to discover and unlock additional monsters
Navigate PR disasters, investigations, saboteurs, and supernatural catastrophes
Transform a modest roadside attraction into the ultimate monster destination
Between monster breakouts, suspicious disappearances, public relations disasters, and the occasional blood ritual, keeping the zoo running is easier said than done. Players can wishlist Monster Zoo Tycoon on Steam today.
