Play the spooky, musical, renovator adventure now on Steam

BRISTOL, UK – Today, indie developer, Friday Sundae announced it has released the demo of There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, now live on Steam. This marks the debut of this hotly anticipated horror, musical, mystery game, following its breakout appearance at the Xbox Showcase in June.

The demo gives players a hands-on preview of this unique genre, mash-up, blending renovation sim, comedy, horror, mysteries and music!

In There are No Ghosts at the Grand, players will inherit a crumbling English hotel and restore it by day, while battling ghosts by night. With a sardonic cat, a talking power tool, and a twisting supernatural plot, in a unique musical mystery narrative adventure.

From spooky ska to wartime jazz to skater punk, each mysterious character you meet has their own story and song, waiting to be uncovered.

But when night falls, your talking power tools transform into weapons against the supernatural. Unleash the vacuum on vengeful spirits, expose invisible assailants with the paint sprayer, or subdue slithering spooks with a well-aimed bookcase to the face using the furniture cannon.

As players explore, renovate, and restore, they’ll uncover Lovecraftian mysteries, and with each passing day, a creeping horror tightens its grip.  

Launching 2026, the full game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass on day one. Additional platforms will be announced later.

The Witcher: Legacy Board Game Campaign Launches On Gamefound

CD PROJEKT RED and Go On Board today announce that the crowdfunding campaign for The Witcher: Legacy, a story-driven board game set in the universe of The Witcher, has now launched on Gamefound!

Snapshot

  • The Witcher: Legacy is a story-driven campaign board game for 1 to 4 players, created by Go On Board in collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED, set in the universe of The Witcher games.
  • The game focuses on a long-term narrative gameplay, where players take on the roles of witchers traveling through the Northern Kingdoms, hunting monsters and making decisions that affect future sessions.
  • With over 71,000 followers in its pre-launch phase, The Witcher: Legacy is the most followed project in Gamefound’s history.
  • Day one backers will receive an exclusive Gorgon monster set — a monster never-before-seen in any Witcher story.

Developed in close collaboration between Go On Board and CD PROJEKT RED, The Witcher: Legacy is a story-driven board game for 1 to 4 players, set during a pivotal moment in history of the Continent. Kaer Morhen has been attacked, many witchers of the School of the Wolf have fallen, and the survivors seek answers. Players take on the role of these remaining witchers, deciding who to trust as they search for those responsible.

Ahead of launch, The Witcher: Legacy became the most followed project in Gamefound’s history, with more than 71,000 people choosing to follow the campaign in its pre-launch phase and surpassing the previous record of 66,837 followers. Now, the full crowdfunding campaign is open on Gamefound. On the campaign page, Go On Board presents various pledge options and expands the project through stretch goals that add new free content and upgrades. Throughout the campaign, updates from the development team will highlight newly unlocked elements and changes to the project as it develops.

Join the crowdfunding campaign for The Witcher: Legacy

The Witcher: Legacy focuses on an earlier chapter in the timeline, long before the era of Geralt of Rivia. Presented as a long-form tabletop campaign, its narrative is divided into interconnected scenarios played over multiple sessions. Players journey across Kaedwen and the Northern Kingdoms, exploring misty marshes, remote villages, and bustling cities, including the Ban Ard sorcerers’ school. As they progress, players develop their witchers by refining a personal deck of combat actions, improving attributes, and expanding an alchemy book with new potions and bombs. Legacy-style mechanics track key decisions and permanent changes to cards, boards, and maps, allowing regions, characters, and challenges to evolve, leaving a unique mark on the Continent with each campaign.

As part of the crowdfunding offer, everyone who backs the campaign on day one will receive an exclusive Gorgon monster set added to their copy of the game at no additional cost. This set includes a detailed miniature, dedicated encounter cards and a short quest that can be integrated into the main campaign. The Gorgon has not appeared in previous Witcher games and is not planned for standard retail release, making it an exclusive addition reserved for the Gamefound campaign.

Full details of The Witcher: Legacy, including campaign structure, pledge options, and stretch goals, are available on Gamefound.

ASSASSIN’S CREED SHADOWS X ATTACK ON TITAN QUEST OUT TOMORROW

Plus, more coming with the Title Update 11, launching from November 26

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – NOVEMBER 25, 2025 – Today, Ubisoft announced an exclusive in-game event in collaboration with the Attack on Titan anime series launching tomorrow, November 26 AEDT, and running for 4 weeks until December 22.  This event comes as part of an upcoming update available to all players, which also includes a free additional story content.

A strange encounter draws Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of forbidden rituals and monstrous transformations echo through the shadows. Guided by strangely garbed woman named Ada, they venture deep into the enigmatic Crystal Cave to rescue her friend from a mysterious cult. As strange experiments unfold and a monstruous enemy emerge, the duo must rely on their instincts to survive a threat unlike any they’ve faced before. All players having unlocked Yasuke as a playable character can access this event for free, by heading north-east of Yamashiro where they will be able to find the Quest Giver.

Upon completing the quest, players will obtain exclusive rewards, including a new katana and objects in several hidden chests scattered throughout the cave.

This update also includes a free story drop, the third in the game, titled “A Puzzlement”. Bringing a humorous twist to the adventure, the quest follows Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange and teach each other new skills: Naoe learns to perform her own dramatic version of Yasuke’s war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. As its name suggests, “A Puzzlement” also introduces a new, intricate environmental puzzle that may reveal some answers players have been seeking.

With development led by Ubisoft Quebec*, Assassin’s Creed Shadows embarks players on a captivating journey through feudal Japan, featuring a richly detailed and immersive world powered by the enhanced Anvil engine. Players take on the dual roles of Naoe, a stealthy shinobi Assassin, and Yasuke, a powerful samurai warrior, each offering distinct skills and abilities.
