Survival is earned, one kill at a time

TORONTO (Dec. 11, 2025) – Alpha Channel today revealed TankRat, the bold evolution of their acclaimed vehicular-action odyssey TankHead. Revealed during The Game Awards in partnership with Kepler Interactive, TankRat delivers explosive combat and cataclysmic mecha-mayhem as it heads towards launch on Steam and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2026.

As a thank you to early supporters, all existing players on the Epic Games Store will receive the full TankRat update as a free day-one upgrade.

Watch the explosive new trailer below. TankRat puts players in control of Whitaker, a digitized human consciousness capable of fusing with fully customizable war machines – the only way humans can exist in the world after a mysterious cataclysmic event. Battle through a brutal, war-torn wasteland teeming with mechanical monstrosities. Dismantle enemies, harvest their parts and rebuild stronger for the next fight. Every mission is a test of survival, strategy and sheer firepower as you descend deeper into the mechanical mystery at the heart of TankRat.

Fighting through the Event Containment Area, players must traverse the crumbling wasteland that has been left to ruin by the mechanical cancer of unchecked human ambition. The truth to salvation lies in the fabled city of Highpoint, but the lands between are home to colossal monsters that guard the Dead Zone, making the journey perilous for all who dare attempt it. Challenging these massive machines will test even the most battle-hardened pilots, but every fallen giant becomes a valuable resource. Tear away what remains useful, fuse their power with your own and give yourself a better chance to survive what awaits in the deeper reaches of the wasteland.

Be tactical, be scrappy and you might just survive.

New “Death Knight” Class Arriving December 29

LOS ANGELES – DECEMBER 11, 2025 – Netmarble, a renowned developer and publisher of high-quality games, has announced a large content update for its mobile MMORPG Lineage 2: Revolution. Players can experience the first-ever Grade ZR Morph that brings powerful skills and combat mechanics for those looking to elevate their in-game abilities.

Inspired by the divine power of the goddess Shilen, the Grade ZR Morph embodies the concept of a half-human, half-god transcendent warrior. Wielding an enormous greatsword with one hand, this Morph utilizes the Power of Water and the Power of Death to execute devastating melee attacks. She can also teleport behind targets to inflict crowd control effects like stuns. Unique to the Grade ZR Morph is its exclusive ultimate skill, “Avatar of Shilen,” which temporarily transforms the player into the Reincarnation of Death, granting a barrier, knockdown effects, and ranged damage enhancements. Additionally, the Grade ZR Morph has four active skills, an expanded skill set compared to previous Grade LR Morphs, and powerful passive abilities that enhance survivability by removing harmful effects and recovering HP under specific conditions.

Lineage 2: Revolution also announced the arrival of a powerful new class, “Death Knight,” coming in the December 29 update, making a long-awaited addition to the game’s lineup of classes. Wielding a greatsword and heavy armor, Death Knight features unique mechanics such as “Death Points,” which are accumulated by attacking enemies and enable enhanced skills when filled. 

Players can transform Death Knight into the “True Death Knight,” a state in which Death Points remain fully charged and allow for continuous use of empowered skills with overwhelming combat power. Both Death Knight and True Death Knight forms benefit from a special immortality passive that activates upon receiving fatal damage. This effect grants temporary invincibility and a protective shield that enables players to survive other lethal attacks and continue fighting.

Also launching on December 29 are special celebration rewards, including a Grade LR Morph, a Grade UR Agathion, and a special weapon costume.

Lineage 2: Revolution is a MMORPG bringing top-quality visuals, a massive open world and large-scale PvP to mobile devices. The game features stunning visuals and large-scale open-world combat where players can battle in real-time on a single screen – all in a gorgeous, fully featured, persistent world MMORPG that can be enjoyed alongside players around the world and all within the palm of your hands.

The survival adventure has been 10,000 years in the making. 

London, UK, 11th December 2025 – The wait is finally over as VR survival fans can now enjoy the official launch of Neolithic Dawn for Meta Quest 2, 3 & 3S.

Originally beginning life five years ago as a PC VR title, Neolithic Dawn saw its first public release as an Early Access game for Meta Quest in the Summer of 2025. After months of updates from the Neolithic team, Neolithic Dawn delivers a VR survival adventure like no other. 

Set in 10,000 BC, North America – with locations inspired by the region – in Neolithic Dawn, you are a hunter-gatherer who learns that your lineage is on a great quest. But this cannot be achieved in one lifetime, as the prehistoric era is filled with many dangers. Using a unique multi-generational permadeath system, death is not the end, as you’ll be reborn 20 years later. This can lead to many lives being lived and centuries passing.

To survive this harsh and unpredictable climate, you’ll have to craft tools and weapons by hand, explore vast open maps and hunt dangerous beasts. Balance key elements like hunger, thirst, energy and warmth to stay alive, building fires for warmth and to cook food. Animals can be hunted but they can also be tamed, providing a valuable companion on your journey.

Neolithic Dawn v1.0 Key Features:

• Multi-generational Permadeath – Death is not the end, only a new beginning as you become your descendant
• Innovative Tutorial – Learn how to survive by becoming your ancestor and having to protect yourself as a baby!
• Realistic Challenges – Carefully balance Hunger, Thirst, Energy, and Warmth in order to survive each day
• Crafting – Use resources from the environment to build tools and weapons to feed and protect yourself
• Master the Environment – Encounter deadly prehistoric beasts that can either be killed or tamed
• Social Prehistory – Take on these harsh lands with friends in 4-player co-op or hang out around the campfire and be social

Neolithic Dawn is available now on the Horizon Store for Meta Quest, priced at $19.99 USD/£9.99 GBP. To mark the occasion, a 25% launch discount is available during the first week, joining other VR games in the Horizon Store Holiday Sale.
