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.

In this penitentiary there is no parole, but there is another way to get out early.

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.

BECOME THE DOG TAG WARRIOR IN AVATAR: FRONTIERS OF PANDORA – FROM THE ASHES EXPANSION

A Cruel and Sadistic New Enemy Allied With The RDA Emerges, As So’lek’s Greatest Fight For His Loved Ones Begins.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — 10 December 2025 — Today, Ubisoft unveiled the official launch trailer for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora™ – From the Ashes, spotlighting the expansion’s formidable antagonists and their motivations. Available on 19 December on Ubisoft+, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Amazon Luna*, and PC via Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, and Steam, the From the Ashes expansion presents players with a much more hostile Western Frontier and Ravaged Kinglor Forest.

Developed by Massive Entertainment – a Ubisoft Studio** in collaboration with Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney, the expansion will have players facing a fearsome warband of Mangkwan raiders, also known as the Ash Clan, whose defiance of Eywa and commitment to wiping out the Resistance plays a central role in shaping the narrative and driving the key conflicts in the Western Frontier. The trailer showcases the Ash Clan’s striking visual identity: scarification, piercings, and bold bands of red and black paint, the essence of their scorched homeland. This stark aesthetic signals a radical departure from the clan’s players have encountered before, underscoring the expansion’s darker tone.

So’lek’s history with the Ash Clan runs deep. Years ago, he clashed with Wukula, a Mangkwan warrior, in a brutal encounter that left him scarred and vengeful, setting the stage for their unfinished battle in From the Ashes. Alongside Wukula stands Zari, a deadly sniper trained by the RDA, blind in one eye yet lethal with her human rifle and RDA gear. Her rivalry with Wukula adds layers of intrigue to the expansion’s story. The trailer also showcases Rakx, the most sadistic Mangkwan raider, who cruelly utilises ikrans in her violence.

“For the first time, players will experience Na’vi versus Na’vi combat in dramatic boss encounters,” said Omar Bouali, Creative Director at Massive Entertainment. “These battles against Mangkwan raiders deliver on one of our community’s biggest requests: more variety and intensity in combat.”

The trailer also teases new RDA innovations, including hellhounds; canine robots first introduced in Avatar: The High Ground™ graphic novel, alongside Skel suits and AMP suit variants equipped for sniper and shotgun warfare. These additions amplify the danger across Pandora’s skies and forests, creating a world more hostile than ever before.

Fans will also glimpse Major Tyler Bukowski, an officer first introduced in the comic series Avatar: The Gap Year — Tipping Point™. Bukowski’s deep knowledge of Na’vi culture and ruthless tactics make him a compelling new figure of power, leading the RDA-Ash Clan offensive into the Western Frontier to hunt down the Resistance and its Sarentu allies with particular attention paid to So’lek.

From the Ashes expands the saga with returning allies, building upon clans’ backstories like the Wind Traders, and emotional story beats that deepen So’lek’s journey of survival and vengeance. The expansion is available as a standalone purchase or as part of the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora: From the Ashes Edition, which includes the main game, the expansion and the Floating Mountains bonus content.

Players can already enjoy a major free Title Update for the main game of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which launched on 5 December. This update introduces two of the most requested features from the community: New Game+ and a long-awaited third-person view, offering a fresh perspective and replayability of the main game for fans eager to experience Pandora in new ways.
