About Gobliiins Collection:

Gobliiins Collection is a comprehensive compilation of the first five Gobliiins titles released on PC between 1991 and 2023. It includes the five full Puzzle-Adventure classics, including multiple versions of the first three Gobliiins games (MS DOS, CD-Rom, MAC, etc.), a music player with tracks from all five games, 3D models of each game’s original packaging, a gallery with original design documents as well as a documentary mini-series featuring a brand new interview with Pierre Gilhodes, Gobliiins series co-creator.

Included games: 

Gobliiins (1991)

For reasons absolutely no one understands, the good King Angoulafre has gone completely bonkers. Naturally, the court’s solution is to send three goblins to the wizard Niak in the hope that he can sort this whole mess out. What could possibly go wrong?

Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon (1992)

The son of King Angoulafre has vanished without a trace! This time, the court mage Modems dispatches two goblins to rescue the young prince. With a flick of magic, he teleports them to a faraway land where his colleague, the magician Tazaar, can lend a hand. That’s where our brave (well… relatively brave) duo discovers the truth: behind it all lurks a demon born from nothingness—the dreadfully dreadful Amoniak…

Goblins 3 (1993)

Blount, a delightfully unhinged reporter for “Goblins News,” is on assignment in the kingdom of Foliandre—just in time to witness Queen Xina and King Bodd waging war over the Labyrinth. Things take a turn for the worse when his flying vessel is attacked, forcing him into an unscheduled landing. Enter Princess Wynonna, daughter of the Labyrinth’s guardian—whom Blount promptly falls head over heels for. Before he knows it, he’s tangled up in the conflict… and just when things couldn’t get any stranger, along comes a werewolf. Of course.

Gobliiins 4 (2009)

The first (and only!) 3D installment, Gobliiins 4 reunites the three legendary goblins: Oups, Asgard, and Ignatius. Summoned by King Angoulafre, they’re sent on a mission of utmost importance: finding his missing pet… a small, adventure-loving aardvark. Truly, a quest for the ages.

Gobliiins 5: The Invasion of the Morglotons (2023)

Disaster strikes the kingdom as a mysterious epidemic starts turning everyone into potatoes. Yes, potatoes. Rumor has it that even the good King Angoulafre has been affected. Luckily, he’s under the care of the finest doctor around… probably. Hopefully. Well… we’ll see.

Gameplay trailer to feature in the Insider Gaming Showcase on 28 May

Macclesfield, UK – 27 May 2026

UK publisher Silver Lining Interactive and developer IMPRNT STUDIOS today announced a publishing partnership for Hounded – an upcoming third-person narrative dog-adventure game set in a dark Flintlock Fantasy world for PC. A gameplay trailer for Hounded will feature in the Insider Gaming Showcase on Thursday, 28 May at 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST.

In Hounded, players step into the paws of Duke, a loyal young Border Collie searching for his missing master. Guided by scent, instinct, and a mysterious force known as The Tide, Duke must navigate a dangerous world filled with secrets, enemies, and unlikely allies in a desperate journey to reunite with the person he loves most.

“We’re delighted to partner with the exceptional team at IMPRNT STUDIOS on their new game Hounded,” said Luke Keighran, Founder and Managing Director at Silver Lining Interactive. “The game delivers a compelling emotional story, a rich fantasy world, and a wonderfully vibrant lead character – it is exactly the kind of project we love to champion!”

About Hounded

Once safe beside the fire of a peaceful farmstead, Duke’s world is torn apart when a ruthless regime destroys his home and separates him from his master.

Lost and alone, Duke ventures deep into an unfamiliar land, using his heightened senses to search for his master. Along the way, he discovers a hidden connection to a mysterious force known as The Tide – a supernatural energy capable of transforming both the world around him and the path ahead.

As Duke uncovers long-buried secrets and encounters friends and foes alike, players must rely on instinct, agility, and newfound abilities to outsmart the relentless hunter and survive the dangers closing in around them.

• Play as Duke, a courageous, loyal and stubborn Border Collie 
• Explore a richly atmospheric Flintlock Fantasy world inspired by late 18th century Britain
• Track scents, investigate clues, and uncover hidden secrets and supernatural powers

Smash hit horror multiplayer game arrives on mobile and PC

Shanghai, China — May 27, 2026 | Giant Games is thrilled to announce that Tomb Busters, its co-op horror looter hit, launches outside of Asia for the first time on iOS and Android today 

Tomb Busters finally launches in the west today following huge success in China, with over 200 million downloads, 10 million daily active users, and 140 billion social media views. 

Watch the Tomb Busters Launch Trailer below:

In Tomb Busters, players take on the role of a tomb raider working for The Supernatural Company, delving into tombs filled with deadly traps and a bestiary of ancient horrors rooted in Chinese folklore. These critters and creatures of the night are kitted out with abilities that maximise the horror, comedy, and multiplayer chaos of Tomb Busters, such as:

• The Red Panda, super cute but highly aggressive cirtters. Left to cry, it will eventually mutate to a considerably less cute and cuddly form. 
• The shapeshifting Alternate, which copies the appearance of another player, even down to cosmetics, to lure a team member into a deadly embrace.
• The Jiangshi, which hides in cabinets and then hop around chasing isolated players. They are extremely fast and their attacks will poison players, causing them to also hop like a Jiangshi for 10 seconds. 

Players can take on a tomb alone, or team up in a four-player squad, choosing from a selection of characters each with their own unique role and abilities. Going deeper into a tomb will result in more dangers to face, and dying means losing everything. Random weather events such as dense fog, solar eclipses, and blood moons can mix things up as well, keeping players on their toes.

Tomb Busters was built from the ground up specifically to create a gameplay environment that’s scary by yourself, but delivers natural emergent comedy when played with friends. Giant Games is developing Tomb Busters as a high quality long-running global live service title, and has already begun rolling out player events, creator activities, and a creator program, to help encourage more players to download the game and join the community.

“When you’re exploring a dark ancient tomb alone — strange sounds, sudden monsters, deadly traps around every corner — it’s a genuinely intense horror experience,” said Producer Zhu at Giant Games. 

“But when your squad is with you, each player brings a different role and ability, and that cooperation turns fear into fun. Someone gets greedy, triggers a trap, unleashes a swarm of monsters on the whole team, and suddenly everyone’s screaming over each other on voice chat — that’s where the magic happens.”

Tomb Busters is available now on PC, iOS, and Android. More information about the game can be found on the official website.

Giant Network is a leading publicly listed game company in China, with a strong focus on MMORPG and casual competitive game segments. The company has developed multiple blockbuster titles with a combined user base exceeding 1 billion.

Today’s update marks a big step for the game

Karlsruhe, Germany (May 27, 2026) | Nordic Trolls has released Dev Blog #4 for Under a Rock, detailing the survival game’s Creature Taming and Companions system, one of the most requested features from its 450,000+ wishlisted players across all platforms.

A new gameplay trailer accompanies the update, showcasing the game’s distinctive creatures and the full taming loop. Not to mention the myriad benefits of having a few trusty dodos at your side when you find yourself in a pinch!

Watch the new Creature Taming & Companions trailer here:

Taming Wild Creatures

Tames are wild creatures caught using a Taming Box baited with each species’ preferred item. Once tamed, they live at the player’s base, periodically shed species-specific resources, and lay eggs if kept fed and content. Tamed creatures require ongoing care: neglect them and they revert to a wild state, and not always quietly.

Companions: Friends For LifeCompanions are hatched from those eggs in a Hatchery and serve a different role. They can be ridden across the island, fight alongside the player, carry loot in an upgradeable inventory, and respond to direct commands (Stay, Follow, Attack, Stop, Mount, Dismiss) with adjustable combat stances. Unlike tames, companions cannot be permanently killed – when downed in combat, they recover on their own once danger passes.

Companions can be tiered up and have their own core stats (Mobility, Ferocity, Lifeblood, Burden, and Hardiness) that improve through use. Companions can also be customized with cute hats. Together, Taming and Companions systems create a loop that connects exploration, base-building, and combat in a personal way.  

The latest gameplay video offers the most detailed look yet at how these systems come together in practice, and also reveals several new creatures: 

• Curse Eye – a mysterious presence found in Crystal Caves 
• Giant Bee – a busy but dangerous inhabitant of forests and meadows
