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.

Additionally, new 3D Commanders Jack Frost, Pfc. PVC, Melty Melvin, and Ro-Burt join the roster. An Ultimate version of Jack Frost with all Skill slots open will be available exclusively in Jack Frost War Chests, and the player-favorite Krampus 3D Commander will speak for the first time with new custom voiceover.

Through the entire Winter Fest event, players will earn Snowballs – an exclusive, limited-time virtual currency – that can be spent on Premium tanks, 3D Commanders, cosmetics, holiday skins, and other items.

With all of this and more, Winter Fest 2025 delivers the most wide-ranging seasonal experience yet in World of Tanks Modern Armor, bringing together folklore, humor, combat, and surprises in one massive holiday celebration.

10, Dec, 2025 – KIBORG, the relentless rogue-lite beat’em up with brutal, cybernetic-enhanced combat from developer Sobaka Studio, fights for freedom with its Nintendo Switch launch today.

Sentenced for a crime he didn’t commit, resistance leader Morgan Lee is to remain shackled on the most brutal prison planet for 1,300 years. In this penitentiary there is no parole, but there is another way to get out early.

No matter the tool of destruction, no prisoner or corrupt guard is ready for the carnage that awaits. 

Take the mayhem to the next level by installing cybernetic implants. Choose from hundreds of augments and upgrade them to form deadly synergies. Create countless combinations with an ever-growing arsenal of weaponry and implants to harness. Morgan may die countless times, but with each new run, he’s one step closer to freedom. 

“Even though KIBORG launched on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S earlier this year, we couldn’t let Morgan off the hook,” said Dmitry Kachkov, Head of Sobaka Studio. “We can’t wait to see what KIBORG veterans and new inmates blaze a trail to freedom with today’s Nintendo Switch launch.
