Prepare to combat corrupted magical creatures and restore the lost tranquility of the ancient ruins in Seed Lab’s upcoming life sim.

Zhuhai City, China – Thursday, 4th December 2025 — Chinese developer, Seed Lab, has revealed all-new details about the combat and multiplayer coming to its anime-inspired life sim, Starsand Island, set to launch on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 in early 2026.

Revealed during today’s PC Gaming Show, in addition to the calm, tranquil farming and friendship building showcased to date, Starsand Island will feature third-person combat mechanics when players explore the island’s mystical, ruined area. As players encounter the many strange animals that live among the ruins, they’ll use a range of weapons, including slingshots and bows, to remove a magical corruption from the creatures, enabling them to be domesticated.

Powerful animal bosses also live among the ruins, presenting a further layer of challenge. Overcoming them will take skill to exploit the creatures’ weaknesses, upgrade weapons and ammo, and perfectly time counters, but with the promise of greater rewards – including unlocking advanced professions to master – it’s a risk worth taking!

Exploring the ruins and battling its strange inhabitants doesn’t have to be a solo experience; like the rest of Starsand Island life, it can also be enjoyed online with a friend, as part of the game’s multiplayer. Players will also be able to invite friends to help build their idyllic, pastoral life, as they plant and harvest crops, fish and master animal husbandry, and construct a perfect home. They can also share vehicles or ride the larger animals, and adventure across the length and breadth of the island.

Today’s reveal also highlighted a number of advanced features available to players on their journey to exploring the simple life: The addition of smart robots will help automate farming, ensuring the harvest is reaped while players are away from their homestead – perhaps on a futuristic hoverboard – while custom glasshouses built in DIY mode will harness the sun’s energy to further help with plant propagation. 

Starsand Island is launching on PC, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2026, and is available to wishlist now.

A cozy Haddonfield neighborhood becomes the ultimate battleground of fear.

Lakewood, CO – Dec. 4, 2025 – Halloween, the asymmetric stealth horror game with single and multiplayer modes from developer and publisher IllFonic, co-published by Gun Interactive, and created in partnership with Compass International Pictures and Further Front, reveals its first in-game map, “Haddonfield Heights,” at PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted today. 

Nestled beneath the iconic Haddonfield water tower, the map brings players deep into the heart of the town, introducing a warm, tight-knit neighborhood that hides terror behind every picket fence and perfectly manicured lawn. 

Featuring a cluster of charming homes, the game’s first map radiates small-town comfort by day, but becomes a maze of dread at night. With plenty of front yards and winding side streets, players can explore every neighborhood nook and cranny, daring the brave enough to face what’s lurking in the shadows.

In this chilling sandbox, players can take the role of either a desperate Civilian fighting to protect the townsfolk or the infamous Michael Myers himself. As a Civilian, scavenge for supplies, guide residents to safety, and locate a phone to call the police before the time runs out. As Myers, prowl the shadows and use eerie abilities, like Shape Jump, to traverse through the neighborhood unseen and strike without warning. Every decision is a life-or-death gamble in a relentless game of cat-and-mouse.

“This neighborhood allowed us to reimage the tension of Haddonfield in a way that feels both intimate and terrifying,” said Jordan Mathewson, Design Director at IllFonic. “We wanted players to feel the comfort of the neighborhood they recognize from the film right before we turn it into panic. Every hedge, hallway, and backyard was built to heighten suspense and reward clever play, whether you’re hunting or being hunted.”

The game, Halloween, will terrify Haddonfield on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026.

From logic-driven problem solving to free-form expression, Modulus blends base-building, resource management, and thoughtful strategy in a game that rewards both beauty and efficiency. There’s no single solution, only the system you create.

No enemies. No combat. No timers.

Modulus offers a relaxing, low-pressure take on factory automation, where experimentation and optimization thrive. Build at your own pace and enjoy the quiet satisfaction of systems that simply work.

Every module has a purpose 

Modules aren’t just resources, they’re the building blocks of your factory. Each one you craft becomes a visible part of a structure rising in real time.

The more complex the goal, the more intricate your modules must become, rewarding strategic planning, creativity, and system optimization.

Endlessly modular, deeply yours 

Whether you’re solving intricate logistics puzzles or designing the most aesthetically pleasing factory possible, Modulus is built for creative expression. No two factories will look the same,  your solutions, like your factory, are uniquely your own.

Start Simple, Grow Smart

Begin with basic resources and learn the core systems. As your production needs scale, unlock new mechanics, tools, and challenges that deepen your understanding of logic, optimization, and modular design mastery.
