Investigate, document, and hunt cryptid legends in the debut game from developer Jade Meadows

[Washington, DC – October 31, 2025] Have you ever seen something you couldn’t explain, like there was something lurking in the shadows? You’re not alone… Six One Publishing is proud to present Blue Ridge Hunting, an online co-op horror adventure where you and your friends investigate, document, and hunt cryptids in the Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachian Investigation Group is now hiring, so join the search for cryptids by supporting Blue Ridge Hunting on Kickstarter and start your training in the debut demo.

The Appalachian Mountains are home to some of the most infamous cryptids, creatures, and folklore in America. Based on real sightings, phenomena, and legends from the region, join the Appalachian Investigation Group and use a variety of tools and items to collect evidence and track down these creatures. Get paid for successful hunts and invest your earnings in better gear. But be careful, as creatures are always listening and watching. Use proximity voice chat and your radio to communicate with one another, but try not to draw too much attention…

Unique in the co-op horror genre, Blue Ridge Hunting will feature a full story mode at its 1.0 launch. Players will follow the journey of Levi Chambers, a disgruntled West Virginia native haunted by sightings of the infamous Mothman his entire life. Set off with Levi across Appalachia to uncover the truth, encountering a wide cast of characters, terrifying monsters, and unforgettable stories along the way.

The game explores themes of generational trauma, grief, and family told through the unique lens of Appalachian folklore. Developer Jade Meadows set out to create a love letter to the region’s culture, celebrating the community and resilience of West Virginia while also acknowledging the more painful parts of its history.

Field Notes:

• Found Footage: A gritty retro/PSX art style inspired by early 3D horror and analog media.
• Always Listening: Creatures react to proximity voice chat and radio chatter. Communication is crucial, but dangerous.
• Into the Woods, Solo or Together: Explore the Appalachian wilds alone or with up to 5 players in online co-op freeplay mode.
• Bump In The Night: A narrative-driven story (1–3 players) following the Appalachian Investigation Group’s hunt for the truth.
• Experience The Legends: Face unique, intelligent creatures based on real Appalachian legends and folklore.
• Dark-Bluegrass Symphony: An original score that blends haunting melodies with Appalachian roots, amplifying the tension and tone.

Join the hunt and wishlist Blue Ridge Hunting on Steam. Prospective hunters can jump into the Blue Ridge Hunting demo today and support development on Kickstarter for a limited time.

Legendary System 3 label marks over four decades of innovation, creativity and independence; The Last Ninja Collection coming to Steam PC on 27 November 2025 (Switch, Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox versions coming soon) with James Pond Legacy: The Pond Is Not Enough also on the horizon

London, UK – 31 October 2025. System 3, one of the most iconic names in video game history, today proudly celebrates its 43rd anniversary. Founded on October 30, 1982, the System 3 label has become recognised as the world’s longest-running independent developer and publisher-branded games label, continuously producing, publishing and owning its own titles for more than four decades.

Originally established during the dawn of home computing, System 3 quickly became synonymous with quality and innovation. From its earliest releases on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amiga, the label was known by gamers worldwide for pushing the boundaries of what those systems could achieve. Over the years, System 3 has delivered some of the most memorable and best-selling titles in gaming history, including The Last Ninja trilogy, International Karate, IK+, Putty, Constructor and James Pond.

In 1986, System 3 achieved two historic milestones:

• It became the first European developer-publisher to reach number one on the Billboard charts in the United States with the Commodore 64 version of International Karate, which sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide.
• In the same year, via its US partner Epyx, System 3 became the first European publisher to receive the CES Showcase Award for Innovation at the Chicago Consumer Electronics Show.

That commitment to precision and authenticity continued into later decades, with System 3 developing Ferrari Challenge as well as creating accurate in-house car simulation racing software for Ferrari and other leading racing manufacturers. Today, that pioneering spirit continues. The upcoming The Last Ninja Collection (Steam PC version launches on 27 November 2025, with Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox versions coming soon) allows players to relive the magic of the 1980s and 1990s through authentic emulations of the original Commodore 64, Amiga and Spectrum releases.

Also on the horizon is James Pond Legacy: The Pond Is Not Enough, a celebration of one of gaming’s most enduring and beloved characters. The release includes faithfully emulated versions of the original Sega, SNES and Amiga titles, preserving their classic gameplay exactly as players remember them. Launching on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2, this edition also marks the next step in the continuing James Pond legacy.

“System 3 was founded on creativity, quality and independence,” said Mark Cale, founder and CEO of System 3. “Forty-three years later, those values still define us. The label has never been sold, merged or diluted – and that’s what makes System 3 unique. Every game we create or bring back to life is truly ours, built with the same care and spirit that started this journey for me in 1982.”

Relive your 80s and 90s memories with the System 3 classics – The Last Ninja Collection and James Pond Legacy: The Pond Is Not Enough.

About System 3
Founded in 1982, System 3 is the world’s longest-running independent developer and publisher-branded video game label. From The Last Ninja and International Karate/IK+ to Constructor and Ferrari Challenge, System 3 has shaped generations of gaming history.

• Players on PC can look forward to high octane attack-and-defense gameplay across two unique Operations and take advantage of a lineup of new ships for Black Friday to expand their armadas.
• On console, fans can also enjoy Black Friday offers, a new campaign, as well as new French alternate destroyers featuring accelerating, incendiary torpedoes.

October 31^th, 2025 – Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading historically accurate naval multiplayer game World of Warships, is setting out to sea with two jam-packed updates for players across PC, console and mobile. Headlining additions for PC, players can dive into a brand new, limited-time Temporal Rift event, brimming with dynamic gameplay and advanced warship technology, alongside plenty of Black Friday additions including a new fleet of ships and a two-pronged Event Pass. Meanwhile, for players on console and mobile, World of Warships: Legends introduces French alternate destroyers with new incendiary torpedoes that pick-up speed as they travel, Black Friday offers and ship variants, and the new four-week long Phantom of Sherwood campaign.

World of Warships brings a fractured timeline into the fray with Temporal Rift Event

Leading the latest World of Warships update is the addition of a Temporal Rift event, available until 11 December. Offering two new battle types–Shattered Time and Rift Watch–players will form teams of nine to battle against waves of bots on a massive map. To make gameplay more explosive than ever before, players will choose from a tailored selection of rental ships, equipped with evolving upgrades chosen by the player to reflect his favourite playstyle, a respawn mechanic, and Heavy Explosive shells and missiles to provide further fire power.

In Shattered Time, players will be challenged to push through enemy defenses and capture fortified bases, while Rift Watch sees the inverse as teams must defend their base and keep attackers at bay. Across the update, the battle types will be available sequentially, for two weeks each, before both go into rotation in the next update.

Black Friday also returns to Warships, bringing a new Event Pass, missions, the return of fan-favourite ships, and a new fleet: the tier X American cruiser and battleship Puerto Rico B and Rhode Island B, the tier IX Soviet destroyer Neustrashimy B, the tier IX Pan-European battleship Karl XIV Johan B and the tier VIII German cruiser Schill B. Available until 27 November, the Event Pass offers two themed progression lines packed with rewards, including up to two Commanders, 18 Containers and three Premium Containers. Black Friday combat missions have also arrived, with a new Black Friday Squadron feature that helps players track their missions’ eligibility based on pairs of original and Black Friday ships.

Finally, construction of Lüshun B in the Dockyard continues, alongside Liberty Harbor that gives out tier VIII cruiser Bridgeport, and the continuation of daily rewards from the ongoing 10th Anniversary: Grand Voyage event.

World of Warships: Legends sails into Black Friday with new ships and French alternate destroyers

Black Friday makes waves in the November update for World of Warships: Legends, introducing new black versions of Sims, Alabama, München, Graf Zeppelin, and Brisbane obtainable through new Black Friday ‘25 crates. The themed mission, campaign, and Brawl each give one free crate, though players can also obtain ships via the store, which will have special weekly offers and black ship bundles throughout the month.

New French Destroyers also set sail into Early Access in this month’s update, introducing new mechanics to the battlefield. Each ship in the line features special incendiary torpedoes that gain speed with distance, and have a higher chance to set on fire the further they travel. Ships can be found in special Early Access crates, several of which are obtainable from the new Phantom of Sherwood campaign, and each ship comes with its own personal mission, available until January 19, that rewards doubloons.

The Phantom of Sherwood campaign is here for four weeks, with eighty milestones to complete and rewards to obtain, including British Tier VII Premium cruiser Nottingham. Players can also collect ship parts in the second stage of the free marathon “Road to New Year” to receive Pan-European Tier VI Premium battleship Lugdunum in the unique icy skin, available from December 1 once the Christmas update launches.
