Psychological horror unfolds in a world shaped by memory, ritual, and unease

Valladolid, Spain / Hamburg, Germany – April 8, 2026 – The Occultist is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Developed by DALOAR and published by Daedalic Entertainment, the first-person psychological horror game draws players to Godstone, a remote island where old rituals, buried memories, and unsettling truths still cling to the walls.

The Occultist builds dread through atmosphere, discovery, and the slow weight of what lies beneath the surface. Godstone is more than a backdrop. Its ruined paths, forgotten corners, and lingering echoes shape a world that feels unnerving, troubled, and alive with the past. As the story unfolds, exploration and narrative remain tightly bound together.

At the center of the experience is the pendulum, an occult tool that helps reveal hidden traces and guide the way through places marked by earlier lives and dark events. The game’s sense of unease is further deepened by rich audio design and an original score recorded with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra.

Alan Rebels, the game’s protagonist, is voiced in English by Doug Cockle, best known as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher game series. His performance gives the journey a steady human presence as Godstone grows more disquieting with every step.

Have a look at the latest The Occultist videos and dev diaries.

Blending first-person exploration with slow-burning psycho-horror, The Occultist focuses on atmosphere, vulnerability, and the disturbing weight of helping the dead find peace—often at the cost of the living.

New Bunkers, GPS Navigation System, Dialogue Improvements, and Rebalanced Loot and Enemy Encounters Available Now

April 8, 2026, Milan, Italy – Untold Games has released today the latest update for their post-apocalyptic city simulator City 20. Introducing underground environments, new navigation tools and key mechanical improvements, the Bunker Update takes players to a whole new level of City 20, both figuratively and literally.

Check out the launch trailer for City20’s Bunker Update here.

For the first time, players can now venture beneath the streets of City 20 and explore a vast network of bunkers and underground structures. These fully realised environments are filled with hidden lore, rare items and secrets waiting to be discovered. Designed to offer a darker and more atmospheric experience, the underground delivers a new sense of tension and discovery for those willing to brave the depths.

Supporting the expanded exploration introduced in Version 0.9 comes the GPS, a new gadget that provides players with a minimap directly in their HUD, allowing for smoother navigation and a more immersive exploration experience. By repairing GPS Repeaters, players can connect to local networks, enabling NPC tracking within specific zones, making it easier to locate quest givers, traders and other important characters.

Interacting with these characters has never been better with a full redesign of the Dialogue Wheel. With a new interface that focuses on clarity and ease of use, conversations are streamlined, and removing unnecessary layers of menus means players can stay immersed in the story while navigating interactions more naturally. 

Loot distribution and enemy behaviour have also been rebalanced to reflect the new gameplay dynamics introduced in Version 0.9. While basic supplies remain on the surface, rare and valuable items will now be found mostly underground, rewarding players who take on greater risks. Those risks are enhanced by an expanded Atker threat, who now have an increased presence in underground areas and around Bunkers. They now actively guard high-tier loot, creating a more intense and claustrophobic atmosphere in the dark underground.

The Bunker Update marks a significant step forward in expanding the depth, immersion and challenge of City 20, and offers players new ways to explore, engage and discover secrets hidden beneath the city. 

City 20 is available on PC in Early Access for $19.99. The Bunker Update is available for free to players who own the game on Steam and Epic Game Store starting today.

A bold new strategy experience blending striking visuals and innovative design, now available on Steam and mobile

April 8th, 2026 – The next evolution of tactical RPGs has arrived. Annulus is available now across Steam, the App Store, and Google Play, bringing a bold new entry to the modern strategy RPG landscape.

Blending innovative battlefield design, deep strategic gameplay, and striking visual direction, Annulus sets out to redefine the genre with a fresh, art-driven approach to tactical combat.

Reinventing Tactical Combat from the Ground Up

At the heart of Annulus lies a distinctive battlefield system – a bold departure from traditional design. This new structure transforms how players approach positioning, movement, and control, turning every encounter into a dynamic tactical puzzle.

Rather than relying on static strategies, players must constantly adapt—anticipating enemy actions, optimizing spatial advantage, and executing carefully timed decisions. The result is a combat system that feels both intuitive and deeply strategic, rewarding foresight, creativity, and precision at every turn.

Deep Strategy Meets Accessible Design

Annulus is designed to appeal to a wide spectrum of players, offering layered tactical depth for seasoned strategy fans alongside streamlined controls and clear readability for newcomers. A diverse roster of heroes, each with distinct abilities, roles, and synergies, opens the door to flexible team compositions that reward experimentation and mastery.

From high-stakes encounters to long-term progression, the game delivers a satisfying balance between approachability and strategic complexity.

A Striking Dark-Fantasy World with Premium Visual Craftsmanship

Set in a mysterious and atmospheric universe, Annulus features a dark, stylized fantasy aesthetic that blends elegance with tension. Every battlefield, character, and visual effect has been carefully crafted to reinforce the game’s tone:

• Highly detailed character designs with distinctive silhouettes
• Cinematic skill animations that emphasize impact and clarity
• Rich environmental design that enhances immersion and tactical readability
• A cohesive art direction that merges dark fantasy themes with modern polish

The result is a world that feels both haunting and refined, drawing players deeper into every encounter.

Epic Boss Encounters That Define the Battlefield

One of Annulus’ most striking highlights is its wide array of visually stunning and mechanically distinct boss encounters. Each boss is more than just a powerful enemy,they are fully realized characters, brought to life through unique visual identities, rich backstories and carefully designed combat mechanics.

From towering, otherworldly entities to cunning battlefield tacticians, every boss introduces new strategic challenges that push players to rethink their approach. Their abilities often reshape the rules of engagement, altering terrain, disrupting formations, or forcing players into high-risk, high-reward decisions.

Designed to test tactical mastery while delivering memorable, cinematic moments, these encounters seamlessly blend gameplay, narrative, and spectacle. Each boss fight becomes a defining experience – rewarding adaptation, precision, and strategic creativity.

Global Momentum and Platform Recognition

Even ahead of  launch, Annulus has captured significant global attention:

• Over 1.5 million pre-registrations worldwide
• Official featuring opportunities from both Google Play and the App Store
• Rapidly growing international community of tactical RPG fans

This early traction highlights the game’s high production value and its clear resonance with players seeking a more refined, strategy rich experience.

Free-to-Play, Cross-Platform Experience

Annulus  is available now as a free-to-play title, making its rich tactical experience easily accessible to players worldwide. Whether on PC or mobile, the game offers a seamless, fully optimized experience tailored to each platform.

Tokyo, Japan (April 8, 2026) – Japanese developer Colopl today announced new details regarding a collaboration with Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5 for the upcoming Nintendo Switch™ title KAZUMA KANEKO’S TSUKUYOMI.

During the middle of the game’s story, players will encounter the iconic Devil Hunters: Dante, Nero, and Vergil. Depending on the player’s choices, they will engage in battle against these formidable foes.

• Vergil (“CONCENTRATION”): Attack power gradually increases up to ten stages each time a combo card effect is activated.

Furthermore, if specific conditions are met during battle, the Devil Hunters will activate their “DEVIL TRIGGER” or “SIN DEVIL TRIGGER”, further enhancing their card performance. Players will also be able to acquire their signature weapons as exclusive “Divine Gear” attack items. Items designed after Dante’s “Devil Sword Sparda” , Nero’s “Red Queen” , and Vergil’s “Yamato”  will be available, providing effects that reinforce their respective character cards.
