Fatshark First to Demo AMD FSR™ Radiance Caching Technology in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide!

Fatshark | Stockholm, Sweden, December 10th, 2025 Fatshark, a developer recognized for its technology-driven approach to game creation, today announced a strategic collaboration with AMD focused on the exploration and development of AMD’s Machine Learning Denoising (FSR™ Ray Regeneration) and Neural Radiance Caching (FSR Radiance Caching) technology. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the first title to showcase the experimental FSR Radiance Caching technology, as demonstrated in the AMD showcase.

The studio behind the acclaimed Warhammer games, Vermintide 1, 2 and Darktide, has a long history as both a game studio and a tech development company. Dating back to 2007, when Fatshark emerged from a small group of developers who built not only games, but also the foundational technology that powered them. Most notably co-creating the Bitsquid engine, a high-performance game engine that was later acquired by Autodesk and rebranded as the Stingray engine. When the studio was approached by AMD this summer, it was an exciting opportunity that Fatshark was eager to sink their teeth into!

A Philosophy of Collaboration

Fatshark sees real-time ray tracing and neural rendering as essential pillars of the future of game visuals. While these technologies are still maturing, the studio views early involvement as crucial. Not only for internal expertise, but also for helping guide the broader games industry toward more accessible, efficient, and high-fidelity rendering solutions.

This is about more than rendering; it reflects the studio’s philosophy of open collaboration and cross-industry growth. The studio’s Chief Technology Officer, Mikael Hansson, enthuses that “Technology is meant to be built and shared together. Working with innovative powerhouses like AMD keeps us sharp, encourages diversification in game technology, and strengthens the entire industry. It’s fun, it’s challenging, and it’s a long-term investment, not just in Fatshark’s future, but in the future of gaming.”

Building for the Future
 

The features demonstrated in the video are not currently planned for release in Darktide’s live build. The technology is new and requires further development, optimization, and quality verification before it could be integrated into a live service game. Darktide’s technology is constantly evolving to offer players the best experience possible, for a live service game launch is not the end, but the beginning.

The game pushes you to master each level, learning routes and refining timing until runs feel seamless, while Sparks unlock challenging bonus stages, Logs reveal the Tower’s past explorers, and music tracks feed into a custom Speedrun Mode playlist. A dedicated Speedrun Mode with online leaderboards, extra Sparks levels tuned for optimization, and a tiered rank system that scores your performance turns the climb into a true playground for routing and competition.

Rediscover DeadCore
DeadCore Redux is a remaster of the 2014 FPS-Platformer DeadCore.

Original Key Features:

  • Explore a mysterious world composed of immense and staggering levels with many secret passages to discover.
  • Find new powers, upgrades, and lore elements to reveal the secrets of the Tower.
  • Unlock 10 Sparks Levels to challenge other players in Speedrun mode.
  • Immerse yourself in an atmospheric journey thanks to a lengthy soundtrack ranging from ambient to dubstep.

Redux New Key Features:

  • New Graphics: Entirely remade in the Unity HDRP engine featuring modern PBR lighting and volumetric effects, new 3D models and textures, revamped VFX, and a new UI.
  • New Audio: Completely revamped SFX, a remastered soundtrack, and improved audio mixing for more immersion and clarity.
  • The “Gateway”: A new gigantic Story level to complete before reaching the game’s true ending.
  • Solo Rank System: A new offline rank system granting badges for each level based on your performance.
  • Gamepad Support: Dedicated gameplay code and UI for game controllers.

Adrien Pelov, Level Designer, added: “The Tower is more atmospheric than ever, the controls are tighter, and we’ve added new content and features for speedrunners who really want to push their limits.”

PRE-ORDERS FOR ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE: DESTINY AND STRATEGY EXPANSION PACK BUNDLE ARE OPEN!

Brand-new information reveals additional elements for commands and vagrant armies

Hertfordshire, 10th December 2025 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Kou Shibusawa are pleased to announce that digital pre-orders for ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE: Destiny and Strategy Expansion Pack Bundle are now open on Windows PC via Steam®. In celebration, a new trailer has been released along with further details about additional commands and vagrant armies, features set to provide the most expansive ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS experience to-date. Players can prepare to deploy their most intense strategies yet with the bundle’s release on 29th January 2026 on Windows PC via Steam®.

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE: Destiny and Strategy Expansion Pack Bundle adds a variety of commands that can be executed without the use of ‘Gems’, broadening the gameplay experience and introducing entirely new ways to upheave a player’s situation. By performing the ‘Abdicate’ command in Parliament, players gain the ability to offer the position of Ruler to another officer; furthermore, the Viceroy and Governor may change sides with the ‘Defect’ command, enabling players to enjoy a new style of play in the middle of the game. Additionally, players can shift the tides of battle with ‘Incite’, where a vagrant army can be formed with an individual the player is interacting with as the leader. Players can also tactically dissolve friendships and annul pledges by using ‘Cut Ties’ in order to tip the scales in their favour. ‘Extort’ has also been added as a city command, which will give players the option to threaten market merchants to obtain money; both free officers and officers belonging to a force can perform this command.

In addition to new commands, further elements have been introduced into the gameplay for chieftains of vagrant armies. Employing prominent officers and defeating bandits in certain battles will increase a player’s ‘Might’, which, upon reaching a certain level, will unlock the vagrant army exclusive ending. Increasing ‘Might’ has the extra benefit of enabling players to obtain dedicated powerful ‘Gems’, offering fans freedom of play for a limitless ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS experience. This experience is extended even more with several extra elements, including events and movies that were central to the latter part of the Three Kingdoms, as well as new traits, fictional spouses, and ‘Official Positions’ that can be given to officers.

ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE, released in 2023, was the first major remake in the ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS series’ history, combining ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 and its Power-Up Kit to provide the most comprehensive entry in the series to-date. With over 55 scenarios spanning the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, renewed visuals, additional battle elements such as linking, and much more; ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE offers fans an unforgettable tactical experience.

Players who purchase a digital edition of ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE: Destiny and Strategy Expansion Pack Bundle up to the first two weeks after release will receive the “Loyal Han Retainer Ma Teng”scenario as an early purchase bonus. Those who pre-order the game will also receive the “Guan Yu Advances” scenario as a pre-order bonus.

Digital pre-orders for ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE: Destiny and Strategy Expansion Pack Bundle are now open. The title is currently in development and is scheduled for release digitally on 29th January 2026 on Windows PC via Steam®. The game will include Japanese and Chinese voices with English texts only.

ABOUT ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE

Released in 2023, ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE is the first major remake in the ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS series and offered all-new graphical and game system upgrades to help reawaken the title as the newest addition to KOEI TECMO’s long revered franchise. Among the new additions, the number of playable officers was increased and introduced new officers and forces, allowing players to discover new events and relationships between officers for an even more authentic experience. The “All Periods Scenarios” feature was also updated to offer over 55 scenarios, making it the largest number of scenarios available in the series history. Combats in ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS 8 REMAKE remained turn-based, just like the original title, while featuring a completely restructured system, the result of Kou Shibusawa’s 20 years of know how since the release of Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII to offer an easy-to-play yet highly tactical combat experience.

Play the demo for strategic god game Demiurgos, from the creators of Per Aspera

Rival deities collide in a cosmic game of divine conflict!

Buenos Aires, Argentina, December 10th, 2025 – Tlön Industries, developers of the acclaimed terraforming game Per Aspera, have today released a demo of their upcoming strategic god game Demiurgos. Revealed with a new gameplay trailer as part of the Latin American Games Showcase at The Game Awards, Demiurgos lets players compete against pantheons of divine opponents, manipulating the mere mortals they all oversee.

This demo encapsulates the first part of the game, where you start on a separate island and you can play as either Anubis or Poseidon. Here you can come to grips with many of the game’s key features and mechanics.

In Demiurgos, you embody one of many deities, such as Marduk, Loki, Anubis, Mars, or Poseidon. Gathered as divine players around a cosmic table, you must compete against your rival gods in a game orchestrated by the enigmatic game master Demiurgos. The living tabletop board is your arena;  a dynamic world teeming with mortal pawns. Your goal: beat opposing gods to claim exclusive Celestial Titles—victory points earned through unique, challenging conditions. 

In a pausable real-time environment, Demiurgos blends strategic depth with divine rivalry. Wield miracles to reshape the board by summoning storms or blooming forests; convert mortals to fuel your faith; and undermine adversaries by stealing their followers or disrupting their plans. Each deity offers diverse strategies using their unique powers and perks. Choose your path: Will you foster harmony as a god of light? Or unleash chaos as a deity of darkness? The living board reacts dynamically—mortals may rebel, factions shift, and conflicting gods counter with their own divine interventions. 

Compete against cunning AI in single-player or face human opponents in multiplayer, where alliances and betrayals heighten the stakes. Success demands balancing faith resources, anticipating rival moves, and pursuing titles like “Fate Spinner” or “Harbinger of Chaos.” With emergent storytelling, a growing roster of deities planned for future expansions, and a richly interactive world, Demiurgos lets you forge a divine legacy in a strategic contest where gods play and mortals are pawns in a cosmic game.

Key Features:

  • Cosmic Tabletop Arena: Embody one of many deities playing around a cosmic table, with a living tabletop board as your contested world, guided by the Demiurgos. Wield miracles and manage faith in a pausable real-time world, balancing strategy with almighty urgency.
  • Unique Deity Powers: Harness distinct abilities and divine perks, each god’s powers offers a unique playstyle. Choose to be a benevolent deity of light or a chaotic god of darkness, shaping your strategy and legacy.
  • Forge your Religion: Listen to your Followers and resolve their problems in one way or another, to increase their devotion to you. Command your Priests, upgrade them into different Advanced Priests, and customize your religion with different Tenets.
  • Reshape the World: Terraform landscapes with powerful miracles, and craft ecosystems to reflect your divine will.
  • God vs. God Rivalries: Engage in direct or indirect conflicts with opposing deities, with multiplayer support for epic showdowns. Claim exclusive victory points through unique, challenging conditions—only one god can hold each title, driving intense competition.
  • Future Expansions: Expand your divine roster with new deities and powers through planned DLCs and updates.

Demiurgos is a unique hybrid of god game and competitive strategy game that incorporates the civilization manipulating overseeing of the former with the tactical cutthroat edge of the latter for something wholly unique,” said Javier Otaegui, Game Director at Tlön Industries. “With this demo we want to introduce people to the core mechanics of Demiurgos to familiarize players with its top-down pantheon role-playing mechanics, though the full game will include a significantly expanded roster of what you can do as a god.”

About Tlön Industries: 
Tlön Industries is a game development company focused on bringing deep narrative experiences to dynamic system-oriented games. With our main offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina, we aim at creating world class games for players like us. Our debut game, Per Aspera, was nominated for the Best Simulation/Strategy Game in the DICE Awards 2021.

World of Tanks Modern Armor Launches Its Biggest Holiday Event Yet – Winter Fest 2025

December 10, 2025 – World of Tanks Modern Armor invites players on PlayStation and Xbox to step into Winter Fest 2025, the biggest event of the year. Running from today through January 5, 2026, it expands the game’s winter universe with a full slate of activities, including daily gifts from the 2025 Winter Calendar, special store offerings, two thematic event modes, seasonal rewards, and much more.

The celebration begins with the return of the popular Toy Tanks Mode, where two teams of ten battle beneath the Yule tree in fast-paced matches with respawns. Each Toy Tank features its own weaponry, including the new Plow Master tank, which is equipped with a dozer blade and designed for ramming. Each team also benefits from a new ally: a giant toy robot that will launch devastating support strikes – and that will drop Snowballs, Winter Fest’s special event currency, if destroyed. By popular demand, Toy Tanks Mode has been extended to run for two weeks, giving players double the time to command these tiny but mighty vehicles.

On December 23, the event shifts into The Ice Queen’s Blade, a new cooperative PvE mode. After last year’s battle, Santa imprisoned the Ice Queen, but she managed to summon Krampus, a portal-traveling enforcer. Players partner with a new character, Jack Frost, to stop Krampus before eternal winter takes hold of the maps they know well. Teams of ten will use the portals created by Krampus to travel from battlefield to battlefield, clearing minions, collecting shards, and ultimately confronting Krampus at Frostbite Castle.

Beyond the exclusive event modes, Winter Fest offers players a wealth of fresh content, including four distinct Premium tanks with thematic designs:

  • Frostwarden – a fast and stylish Tier X medium tank designed by Jack Frost;
  • Dual Battery – a dual-gun medium tank inspired by new Commander Ro-Burt and built for versatile combat;
  • Moldmaster Mk. 1 – a toy-inspired tank destroyer with multiple turrets and excellent adaptability;
  • Winter Warrior – a durable medium tank featuring strong ERA armor that resists autocannon and ATGM fire.
