Shanghai, China — November 5, 2025 | XD Games has officially launched the first Closed Beta Test (CBT) for the upcoming, modern life simulation game, Heartopia. Players can get their first experience of the game’s emotional storytelling and real world social dynamics during the CBT, which is available now and will run until 18 November, 2025, at 22:00 (UTC-5).

Players can join via:

• PC (official website client)
• Android (Google Play)
• iOS (TestFlight)

During the CBT, players will get their first glimpse of what Heartopia offers in the game’s early stages: character creation, relationship-building, and so much more.

What is Heartopia?

Heartopia blends narrative roleplay, life simulation, and personal connection. Set in a contemporary, stylish urban world, the game focuses on everyday warmth: think conversations over coffee, shared routines, self-expression, and moments of emotional discovery.

Players create their own lives, building friendships and exploring romance options along the way, making choices that influence how others respond to them. Heartopia prioritises authenticity and emotional realism: relationships evolve naturally, characters react to your behaviour, and your daily decisions gradually define who you become in the world.

Heartopia is built around several core pillars that define the experience. Players can expect deep relationship and narrative systems that allow connections to grow naturally through meaningful choices and emotional interactions. Avatars, outfits, and living spaces are fully customisable, giving players freedom to express their personal style and create a life that feels uniquely their own. Daily routines and social encounters unfold in real time, encouraging organic moments, chance meetings, and a sense of everyday rhythm.

Alongside this, the world offers light and comforting exploration, with gentle activities that support relaxation and immersion rather than pressure or grind. All of this is set within an evolving city filled with story events and memorable characters, each adding depth to the world and inviting players to discover new experiences as they go.

With a welcoming aesthetic and grounded emotional tone, Heartopia aims to offer a space that feels familiar, comforting, and personal.

Exclusive CBT Rewards

Participants will unlock unique launch day cosmetics:

• Blueberry Crossbody Bag x1 – For creating a character in this or any future CBT (once per account)
• Star Mascot Head x1 – For reaching Level 18 during this or any future CBT (once per account; ~12 days)

Pre-Registration Rewards

Pre-registration is open now on:

• App Store
• Google Play
• Official website (email)

All pre-registered players will receive at launch:

• Gold x4,000
• Wishing Star x20
• Moonlight Crystal x400
• Exhibition Pass x60

A Community-Driven Beginning

This CBT represents the first opportunity for players to help shape Heartopia’s atmosphere and systems ahead of global release. Feedback on pacing, emotional experience, and daily-life mechanics will play a direct role in the development journey. Heartopia is set to release early 2026 across PC & mobile.

Out now and free for all existing Steam owners and rebuilt from the ground up to deliver the definitive vision of the Great Ursee

Watford, UK – November 5th, 2025: To mark the five-year anniversary of its original release, award-winning solo developer Tomas Sala and publisher Wired Productions are proud to announce that The Falconeer: Revolution Remaster is available now on Steam – a complete reimagining of the BAFTA-nominated hit, delivered as a free upgrade for all existing Steam players. This remaster sets the foundation for the future of The Falconeer universe.

The Falconeer Revolution Remaster, launching today, is a complete reimagining of The Falconeer. Rebuilt from the ground up with new technology, overhauled environments, improved flight mechanics, expanded environments, enhanced gameplay systems and the inclusion of all previous DLC. The remaster offering elevates the experience for both returning players and new pilots alike.

The Falconeer is a third-person open-world air combat game set in the oceanic world of the Ursee. Players soar across the skies on massive warbirds, engaging in epic dogfights, exploring ancient mysteries, and uncovering the story of a world torn by war and nature.

“Sometimes something needs to get better, sometimes people want it to be better, sometimes it’s good for the soul just to make something better,” said creator Tomas Sala. “This remaster is a bit of all of that, but mostly it’s something that I need to exist”.

The Falconeer Revolution Remaster features:

• Completely overhauled visuals: rebuilt environments, redesigned warbirds, new lighting systems, and fully dynamic illumination that brings the skies of the Ursee to life.
• Refined flight controls:  experience a smoother, faster, and more responsive aerial combat.

• The Edge of the World DLC:  fully integrated into the base game, now remastered to the same high standard.
• Expanded lore and world: new settlements, visual storytelling, and subtle narrative updates deepen the Ursee’s mystery.
• Improved controls: a reworked single control scheme providing a more intuitive experience for players on mouse and keyboard.
• And More: New cosmetic armour sets and expanded voice acting.

The Falconeer: Revolution Remaster is available at no cost to all existing Steam owners. For new players, it replaces the legacy edition from today, with special promotions available between November 5th and 10th.

While the Revolution Remaster is now the definitive edition of The Falconeer, the original release will remain publicly accessible via a dedicated Steam branch for those who wish to revisit it. Full access details are available on the game’s Steam page.

Sofia, Bulgaria – November 5, 2025 – Kipi Interactive is thrilled to announce the launch of the public playtest for SunderBound, a co-op top-down shooter with roguelite progression, coming to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2026. Starting today, players can join the playtest by requesting access directly on Steam.

Players participating in the playtest are encouraged to share their feedback with the development team on the official SunderBound Discord server, helping shape the game’s final experience ahead of launch. The development team plans to update the playtest over the coming months, adding new content and improvements based on player feedback.

SunderBound throws players into a desperate climb through a decaying, dystopian spire.

• Tactical Mayhem: Success requires more than just a quick trigger finger. Cover matters, and timing saves lives. Players must split flanks, sync class abilities, and think on their feet to avoid being overwhelmed by the enemy.
• Procedural Combat Missions: No two missions are the same. Floor layouts, enemy spawns, ambushes, and modifiers evolve with each ascent, ensuring every run is a unique and unpredictable challenge.
• Different Loadout, Different Playstyle: Between missions, players can earn, buy, or craft new gear. Every weapon, perk, and augment sharpens a specific build, allowing for a wide variety of playstyles.

Players will join the Monkeys’ Kitchen, a rogue collective blending street art, wild beats, and no-rules racing in Hawaii’s urban jungle. Their races are secret, their style untamed, and their message clear: the real thrill lives on the street.

Responding to community feedback, Season 8 introduces stance customisation and over 40 new branded rim models from iconic names like BBS Motorsport, HRE, and OZ Racing. All rims are fully customisable, from colours, to materials, by way of size, and more, giving players unprecedented control over their ride’s look and feel.

On 8 January, players will be invited to explore the BMW M Playlist, a tribute to the engineering excellence and racing DNA of BMW. Guided by Marc Thiesbürger, spokesperson for BMW M Classic, players will experience legendary cars, motorcycles, and high-performance machines while diving into the brand’s rich heritage.

A total of 21 new vehicles will roll out across Season 8, including the BMW M3 (E46) (2000) and Mercedes-AMG GT (2023) on 6 November, the Pagani Imola (2021) on 4 December, the BMW M Hybrid V8 (2025) and Volkswagen Golf GTI 1800 (MK1) (1982) on 8 January, and the Ford Shelby GR-1 Concept (2004) on 3 February.

Season 8 also brings two major updates to the player experience: full Steam Deck verification, allowing players to enjoy the full TCM experience on the go, and the Friend Pass, which lets players invite up to three friends to play for free! No time limits, no content restrictions, as long as they stay in the crew.

SEATTLE, WA – November 4, 2025 – Wonderbelly Games and Skystone Games are excited to announce that the kitchen doors are swinging open for the very first time with a brand-new demo for Arcane Eats, the world’s most delicious roguelike deck-builder. Fresh off its reveal earlier this year, the demo invites players to savor a flavorful slice of the game’s magical master chef strategy – just enough to whet the appetite for the feast to follow at launch!

Releasing today on Steam, 

Players can expect the following:

• Step into the clogs of Frylin Spudhammer, fiery chef of the first of three heroic cooking guilds: The Hearth.
• Survive the first chaotic week of restaurant management, by balancing arcane ingredients, catering to your customers’ whims, and satisfying the sophisticated palate of food critic Guy Fairy.
• Experiment with multiple runs to recruit kitchen staff, flex your culinary creativity, and unlock fresh build possibilities unique to The Hearth’s hearty playstyle.

Arcane Eats is about melding strategy and chaos into something satisfying – just like cooking. The demo allows players to experience a blend of improvisation, pressure, and delight as their strange combinations come together to create a dish worthy of legends.

Like a proper feast, the demo is just the appetizer. The full game will expand far beyond Frylin’s kitchen, letting players climb the ranks of all three heroic cooking guilds, experiment with hundreds of mythic ingredients and magical kitchen tools, and maybe even risk opening the forbidden Gastronomicon. With each run, the path to becoming the ultimate Arcane Master Chef grows spicier, stranger, and more satisfying.

Arcane Eats is currently in development for PC. Players can wishlist now on Steam and sample the demo when it goes live on November 4th, 2025.
