• Introduces a new scent-based Hide and Seek mini-game for Boris and his siblings.
• Interact with Boris’ family in new ways, giving them items to hold and decorations to wear.
• Enter Max’s Cabin and uncover a new mystery.

London, 25th August 2026 – PQube and developer Wild Sheep Studio are thrilled to announce the free Family Fun update for their cozy animal adventure game, Adorable Adventures. Available today, the update brings Boris and his family closer together with new ways for them to interact, alongside a scent-based Hide and Seek mini-game to enjoy. Players can download the update today on PC (via Steam® and Epic Games Store), PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the content also included in the physical PlayStation® 5 version upon release. Players can get a taste of what’s included in the free update in a newly released trailer!

In the Family Fun update, Boris can interact with his brothers and sisters in all-new ways throughout his adventure! With a tap of the ‘oink’ button, Boris can call his siblings together before handing them items to carry, helping players gather multiple objects while completing tasks. Each sibling can also be dressed up using any decorations they have unlocked throughout the game, allowing every member of Boris’ family to look the part for their adventure.

Once the main quest is complete, players can put their scent-tracking skills to the test in the newly introduced Hide and Seek mini-game. Boris’ siblings will scatter throughout the park, each hiding away and leaving behind their own unique scent to follow. They won’t make it easy though, as unidentified scents can interfere with the trail and throw players off course, and if they spot Boris they will be quick to flee from their hiding spot, turning the search into a high-speed chase.

The Family Fun update also opens the door to Max’s cabin, allowing players to explore inside and uncover the mystery of the displays that adorn its walls. Additionally, new animations have been added, giving each sibling a more unique personality, while extra visual polish and quality-of-life improvements make Boris’ adventure better than ever.

About Good Story Guild

In 2023, from opposite coasts, Rachel Music and Elspeth Hunt found themselves frustrated by their once-beloved Hollywood; the entertainment landscape was littered with low-effort remakes and bloated merch grabs, and creativity was being left on the cutting-room floor.

Elspeth and Rachel teamed up with pop-punk guitarist and startup veteran Kerrod Williams and feminist horror director Simone Kisiel. Together, they realized that the only way to combat the Content Kaiju would be by putting craft, compassion, and creativity first. Enter: Good Story Guild, a writer-founded studio focused on creating video games with dynamic stories, engaging visuals, and heart. It’s the cornerstone of everything we do. We like to think we’re the cure for the common content.

GWAR brings the Antarctica Scumdogs to the gridiron in a blood-soaked new DLC

Chicago, Ill –September 2nd, 2026 – You prayed. GWAR heard. And they’re coming. Digital Dreams Entertainment Inc. is thrilled to announce Mutant Football League 2: Antarctica Scumdogs, a brand-new DLC pack starring the boundary-breaking metal band, launching for PlayStation 5, Steam, and XBOX Series X|S in October 2026.

GWAR tore a new cosmic wormhole in the fabric of space and spilled out into the Mutant Football League 2 universe, where sport is almost as violent as they are — where players are mutilated, referees can be murdered, cheating is encouraged, and sometimes the best defense is simply killing the other team. It feels just like home for GWAR. 

“MFL fans have been asking me for years, “When are you going to get GWAR into the game?” said Michael Mendheim, president of Digital Dreams Entertainment, “Well, the wait is finally over. Football just got louder, bloodier, and a whole lot more GWAR. The Antarctica Scumdogs are coming to MFL2, and we’re making damn sure they’re the deadliest team in the game.”

For more than three decades, GWAR has brought its unique combination of heavy metal, outrageous characters, elaborate mythology, satire, and spectacular stage shows to fans around the world. Now the Scumdogs have found a new stage. And this one has goalposts. 

If you think you know football, you’ve got another thing coming. MFL2 isn’t your typical game of toss the pigskin. It’s a bloodsport of the most brutal kind, where the refs expect dirty play, and a screw-up might just cost you your life. The stadium might kill you, too. It just depends where you’re standing when the buzzsaws start spinning, and the mutant worms start feasting.

It’s the perfect nightmare playground for GWAR, and a crossover MFL2 players have been begging for. Antarctica Scumdogs is the band’s first video game appearance in more than 30 years, and the only time you can be GWAR. The band’s MFL2 team includes:

• Blöthar the Berserker
• BälSäc the Jaws ‘O Death
• JiZMak Da Gusha
• Grodius Maximus
• Beefcake the Mighty
• Sawborg Destructo
• Bonesnapper

GWAR lead singer Blöthar the Berserker commented, “Today, the Antarctica Scumdogs of GWAR take to the frozen tundra of the Mutant Football League, where killing isn’t everything, it’s the ONLY thing! Let the games begin!!” 

In true GWAR fashion, the Scumdogs are built to destroy everything in sight, but mainly you. They are the most physically destructive team in MFL2, designed around a philosophy of brutality and carnage and turning every match into a white-knuckle battle for survival. If you’re playing against GWAR, the score is the last thing on your mind.  It wouldn’t be GWAR without a killer venue. Antarctica Scumdogs introduces a spectacular new stadium steeped in GWAR mythology – along with a few surprises we’re saving for launch.

MFL2 + GWAR World Debut @ PAX, September 4-7, 2026

The GWAR: Antarctica Scumdogs DLC for Mutant Football League 2 will make its worldwide playable debut at PAX West in Seattle from Sept. 4–7, and attendees visiting Digital Dreams Entertainment’s booth can be the first anywhere to take GWAR onto the MFL2 gridiron. The GWAR: Antarctica Scumdogs DLC will be available to play at the Digital Dreams Entertainment booth at PAX West, Arch Building, Level 4, Booth #853. Digital Dreams is also holding a daily raffle during the convention, giving attendees the chance to become immortalized as a playable member of GWAR’s Antarctica Scumdogs team. 

About GWAR

The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world…Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWAR proved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!

About Mutant Football League 2

Mutant Football League 2 is the spiritual successor to the notorious Sega Genesis cult classic Mutant League Football. MFL2 dials up the carnage with a brutally addictive blend of arcade-style football, strategic gameplay, twisted humor, and absolute mayhem.

The 8-on-8 arcade football game pits mutants, monsters, skeletons, robots, and other bloodthirsty competitors against one another in deadly arenas filled with environmental hazards, Dirty Tricks, brutal hits, and plenty of ways for players to permanently leave the game. Mutant Football League 2 is currently available on PlayStation®5, XBOX Series X|S and Steam

September 2^nd, 2026 – Wargaming today announced the launch of World of Tanks: HEAT Season 2: Fire and Ash. The season expands the HEAT experience with a new Agent, three powerful vehicles, a volcanic battlefield, massive 20v20 Conquest battles, the new Archive Battle Pass system, and a range of gameplay improvements.

Watch the Season 2 Overview Trailer

Gambit is the latest Defender-class Agent to join the fight this season, built to hold the front line and punish enemies who overcommit. His passive, Feedback Loop, applies a stacking debuff to vehicles that damage him, eventually disabling their abilities, with stronger effects at close range. His Ultimate, Iron Curtain, deploys defensive drones that temporarily boost health and provide defensive buffs to Gambit and nearby allies, helping his squad withstand heavy fire.

Watch the Season 2 Cinematic Trailer

Agent Gambit arrives with two unique tanks, both of which can be earned for free through the Battle Pass track:

• M60A3E2 – Energized Plating temporarily boosts protection and track durability, while Blast Projectors unleashes a charged concussion blast against nearby enemies, trading greater damage for increased risk to the vehicle.
• T-72SH – Disruption Field Generator scrambles enemy targeting systems, while Tesla Discs deploys devices that deal pulse damage and jam nearby enemies.

Following her debut at launch, Agent Ember receives her second vehicle, the M1150 ABV, a flamethrower-focused tank built for close-range combat that uses Line Charges and Incendiary Launchers to inflict heavy mid-range damage.

Season 2 also introduces a new map, Inferno One, a once-thriving town in an alternate-history Iceland where a catastrophic volcanic eruption has turned the landscape into a deadly warzone. The map’s safe areas constantly change shape as rivers of molten lava invade the battlefield, forcing players to adapt as the magma encroaches.

Battles are also getting bigger with a new 20v20 Conquest format, bringing 40 players together on a single map:

• Same rules as the existing 10v10 Conquest, with twice the players
• 5 bases up for grabs at once
• Unlimited respawns to get back in there and keep fighting
• As with Plant/Defuse, these battles will run during peak weekend hours only at the start, and will be expanded over the course of the season

The Fire and Ash Battle Pass runs for the duration of the season. As with all seasons in HEAT, all rewards can be earned for free through regular play. An optional Premium Battle Pass is also available for 1000 HEAT-Coins, allowing rewards to be unlocked in any order.

Additionally, from Season 2 onward, each unfinished Battle Pass stays playable after its season ends, and every reward on it stays obtainable. This is called the Archive, and will remain active for future seasons, with Premium status remaining on a specific Battle Pass whenever it is purchased.

London (September 2, 2026) In today’s Dragon’s Dogma™ 2: Dark Arisen – Relic Expedition Gameplay Overview video presentation, Capcom revealed the Relic Expedition Cycle that Arisen will experience as they explore the frigid expanse of Norgan when the Dark Arisen Expansion releases on October 9! Each journey out into the frozen wilds requires both skill and preparation, while each safe return offers the opportunity for new gear and skills to cut closer to the mystery at the heart of Norgan.

In anticipation of the expansion’s release, today’s free Title Update makes it a perfect time to jump back into Dragon’s Dogma™ 2 with framerate improvements, extra save slots, and an expanded number of assignable weapon skills for combat.

The Relic Expedition Gameplay Overview can be found seen below via the Dragon’s Dogma™ YouTube channel, and more information can be found on the official webpage.

Preparing for an Expedition

The Relic Expedition Gameplay Walkthrough transports the Arisen to the Norgandian Settlement, the lone bastion of peace left in a region that was once prosperous and richly populated. Now, all that remains of that civilization are timeworn relics of an ancient war guarded by monsters or hidden within the frost covered wastes. In order to survive their treks outside the settlement, Arisen must make careful preparations: ensuring ample provisions for their expedition, enhancing their gear, and resting without fear of enemy incursions.

Seeking Spoils

The inhabitants of Norgan outside the settlement walls all pose a dire risk to explorers. The Beorcan warriors attack all who approach their smoldering firepits, while the Norgan Giant can entomb adversaries in ice with a single breath. These foes often hold powerful relics, while other fearsome adversaries such as the ice dragon Fimbl possess relics of even more profound potential. Confrontation is not the only path to power, as sharp-eyed Arisen will often have their curiosity rewarded when investigating the abandoned settlements and caves of the region. The Norgandian Settlement’s resident direwolf Freki can also help guide Arisen to spoils for a price.

Appraising Relics

Relics gathered by the Arisen will only have their true potential unlocked after being appraised by the matron of the Norgandian Settlement, Jiera. While certain relics may appear similar at first, their final form may differ wildly. Weapons and armour received through appraisal will not only offer increased stats based upon the rarity of the original relic, but can also bestow new abilities or refine skills already possessed by the Arisen and their Pawn.
