The Ice Protocol Begins: New region. New characters. New code-crafted abilities.

Germany, December 4th, 2025 – ByteRockers’ Games has locked in Q1 2026 for the full release of Net.Attack(), closing out its Early Access cycle with a barrage of new content, system upgrades and lethal refinements. Net.Attack() is a top-down bullet-heaven roguelite where your brain power is your firepower: engineer lethal algorithms from 150+ programming nodes and survive overwhelming security responses.

To mark the announcement, the studio has deployed the Glacier Update – a frozen new region, new enemy threats, three deadly characters and a sweeping upgrade to the game’s algorithm-crafting systems. Early Access players have been refining builds and sharpening the game for months, driving community-powered iteration across nodes, characters and core systems. All of that work is now deploying in this update – and even more content is planned for the v1.0 release. This is the final drop before 1.0 and it hits the system like a full-force intrusion.

Inside the Glacier Update:

Major System Overhaul of Net.Attack()’s tactical programming tools:

• Node Sets reorganize abilities into clearer, more strategic clusters.
• Modifications, run-defining super-upgrades, unlock devastating algorithm builds.
• New enemy threats detected:
  • Warden – A relentless enforcer that locks down waves with suffocating pressure. Wardens don’t give you space, they take it.
  • Artillery – A shock-impact mini-boss that bombards the arena with precision strikes. Hesitation = Deletion.
  • Surfer – A swarm-class predator triggered when all remaining ByteCoins convert into pursuit units. They flood the field instantly and they run you down.

These aren’t just new enemies, they’re new failure conditions. Adapt or get overwritten.

Three New Characters Join the Fight

Each character rewrites the battlefield with unique attack architectures:

• 7UR7ING – Armored. Methodical. Deploys modular Heat Link towers channeling thermal energy into brutal suppression zones. Bend enemy paths to your will – then incinerate them.
• M4RRY – A relentless shark-inspired brawler built for close-quarters brutality. Every strike builds strength until Rage Mode erupts, igniting a speed-and-damage surge turning aggression into annihilation.
• GU$$ – Serpentine tactician. Collect Observers to extend your shifting body, increasing reach, control and strike potential while weaving through enemy formations. Evolve mid-run and dominate late-game arenas.

Net.Attack() is available now in Early Access on Steam. The full version launches in Q1 2026 with even more content, systems and algorithmic firepower.

About Net.Attack()
CODE OR DIE. Net Attack() is the bullet-heaven roguelite for intelligent gamers who solve problems through code. Build killing-machine algorithms from 150+ programming nodes in a visual drag-and-drop system. 

No RNG excuses. Your brain power determines your firepower.

An all-new original RPG from Pathea Games, the award-winning independent studio behind the multi-million selling ‘My Time’ series, revealed in new CGI and Gameplay Video

Chongqing, China – 4th December: Pathea Games, the studio behind the beloved life-sim series My Time, is delighted to unveil ‘The God Slayer’ – a new third-person, open-world steampunk fantasy, roleplaying game in development for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms.

Enter an Eastern-inspired steampunk metropolis where gods known as Celestials reign with a divine fist! In this premium open-world RPG, you are an Elemancer who refuses to bow to his creators. Infused with elemental powers and a heart of vengeance, you will dethrone them all. You will rise to be The God Slayer.

To get a flavour of this exciting new universe, please watch the CGI cinematic and gameplay trailer below:

Long ago, the god‑like Celestials created the human world and all living things in it, designing everything to cultivate a powerful force known as ‘Qi’ to fuel their eternal lives. In this new age, humanity has learned to channel that same qi energy into elemental powers, wielding fire, water, earth, metal and wood through flowing, martial‑artistry. Outraged that their divine energy is being used by mere mortals, the Celestials make a brutal example of humanity by conquering the strongest kingdom in the land in a single night — hunting down and killing the king and the kingdom’s Elemancers. An event remembered as the God Fall.

In this 40-hour story-driven campaign, players assume the role of one of these gifted Elemancers, Cheng, as he seeks to galvanise a resistance against the merciless Celestials. Imbued with a sense of power and anger at the loss of his own family during the God Fall, Cheng embarks on a journey to change his world, avenge the fallen, and slay the gods that have wronged him.

“Thematically The God Slayer is a big departure from what Pathea is known for, namely the My Time series,” explained Zifei Wu, founder and creative director at Pathea. “However we’ve made multiple open-world RPGs before, filled with beloved characters and varied systems for players to experiment with and flourish. The God Slayer has all that and more with our talented development team attempting something darker and more serious in tone, bolstered by thrilling elemental combat at its core.”

Featuring a darker tone than Pathea’s previous games, The God Slayer, features freeform RPG gameplay that players love with fully customisable elemental combat, a giant capital city named Zhou to explore, factions to befriend or belittle, and mission design that enables players to make different choices in how they achieve their objectives.

This exciting new release was first mentioned as part of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s ‘China Hero Project’ at ChinaJoy in 2023. Over the past two years Pathea has been crafting and refining their vision to create a truly immersive open-world story-driven experience.

For a more complete feature rundown please see below:

• A Reactive Steampunk Metropolis 
  Lose yourself in a unique fantasy steampunk setting, enhanced with Eastern flair. Set foot in the capital city of the Zhou Kingdom, an urban metropolis that is experiencing a technological revolution, with an assortment of airships, steamboats, monorails, and steam vehicles. A fortunate few in the upper class savor the miracle of air-conditioned homes and mechanical washing drums, while in the poor neighborhoods the vast majority still toil in soot-blackened factories or bow beneath the weight of noble privilege. 
• Customisable Elemental Combat
  Combine water, earth, metal and fire to create powerful attacks and weaponry. Use these abilities to bend the environment to your whim and in direct combat. Experiment with different strategic options and create your own fully customisable fighting style to dominate enemies big and small. Every encounter is a challenge, every battle a chance to unleash thrilling elemental combos that scratch your creative itch.
• Confront Challenges Your Way
  Missions in The God Slayer will allow players to approach them in multiple ways. For instance, players are free to attack all enemies head-on, they can bribe guards to look the other way, they can activate elemental powers to create diversions / distract enemies, they can pathfind usually hidden side routes and utilize other means to achieve their objective.
• A Story of Vengeance
  Embark on a thrilling story-driven campaign filled with interesting characters and intriguing twists and turns. Choose your allies, inspire people across the city, and overthrow scheming gods to bring justice to the world.

The God Slayer is currently available to wishlist on Steam and Epic Games Store, with store pages for Xbox and PlayStation 5 coming soon. If you’d like to see screenshots, videos and more as development progresses, please visit The God Slayer’s official website thegodslayer.pathea.net. 

Pathea also invites everyone to their official Discord channel where they plan on sharing more insights into The God Slayer’s ongoing development.

Play as your favorite PDude, defeat countless enemies in a mission-driven bullet heaven shooter

TUCSON, Ariz – Dec. 3, 2025 – POSTAL: Bullet Paradise, a timeline-hopping dystopian bullet heaven first-person shooter with POSTAL’s signature darkly humorous personality from publisher Running With Scissors and developer Goonswarm Games, blasts through hordes on Steam via PC, Mac, and Linux in Q3 2026, with PlayStation 4|5, and Nintendo Switch versions to follow.

Everyone’s happy in Paradise…except for the POSTAL Dude. Stuck in a shitty future full of forced positivity, constant surveillance, obnoxiously bright lights, and social credit scores, the POSTAL Dude just wants to relax and drink a few beers. So when Paradise’s automated enforcers flag him as a threat due to a “negative demeanor”, the hapless everyman POSTAL Dude is once again pulled off his couch and into the action.

The POSTAL Dude doesn’t want to be a hero. He just wants things to go back to normal so he can watch TV in peace.

Suit up for chaos as one of 11 playable POSTAL Dudes from different timelines, each with their own starting loadout and perks. Blast through hordes of enemies with an evolving arsenal of POSTAL weapons and gadgets. Purge punkasses in Paradise and beyond, fighting through iconic POSTAL locations and all-new environments, completing mission-specific objectives and securing powerful weapon upgrades and modifiers that might even crack a smile on the POSTAL Dude’s face.

Balance firepower and the Dude’s signature lack of impulse control. POSTAL: Bullet Paradise runs are lightning fast and full of action. Rain shotgun fire on throngs of cultists, dodge out of danger as protestors swarm the scene, and heal up with pizza before dishing out damage to challenging bosses spreading forced positivity and blocking progression. 

Experiment with different weapon upgrades and modifiers to create an unstoppable Dude. Complete mission objectives to unlock new guns and meta unlocks. Paradise’s streets are rife with opportunity for the enterprising Dude, making different loadouts and tactics the key to victory. And if that wasn’t enough, call in a friend with online co-op support for up to four players. 

“POSTAL: Bullet Paradise is all about releasing the essence of POSTAL and its signature gallows humor into an over-the-top and highly replayable package,” said Artem Korovkin, CEO, Goonswarm Games. “Equal parts irreverent and action-packed, we’re thrilled to partner with Running With Scissors to bring this dystopian slice of Paradise to life.”

“No way in Hell Mike J is going to Heaven,” laughed Running With Scissors founder Vince Desi. “But he’s definitely gunning for POSTAL: Bullet Paradise next year.”

POSTAL Bullet Paradise will launch on Steam with PC, Mac, and Linux support in Q3 2026 for $19.99. PlayStation 4|5 and Nintendo Switch versions are planned for a later date. For more information, wishlist the game on Steam and visit the official Running With Scissors website.
