Prepare to hunt the Mothman in new trailer at DreadXP Indie Horror Showcase
NEW ZEALAND — Oct. 23, 2025 — Folklore Hunter, the co-op urban legend hunting survival game developed by Liquid Donkey Games, takes aim at the Mothman when it graduates from Steam Early Access on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026, as revealed at DreadXP’s Indie Horror Showcase today with a brand new trailer.
Liquid Donkey Games has also revealed a new update available today, with full Steam Workshop support now implemented for the community to create and share their own custom content and mods. Versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch platforms are also in development, set to launch later in 2026.
When a father goes missing under mysterious circumstances looking for his kids, a village finds itself cursed by creatures of the night, or strange things are afoot at abandoned military biolabs, they call you. Dropped in uncharted lands with limited supplies and supernatural threats, your team has the skills to find an explanation for the unexplainable.
Track and hunt three mythic creatures in a fully-designed main campaign through a series of Story Hunts supporting single and multiplayer modes. Set up traps and cameras to capture the location of the horned Wendigo. Solve cryptic riddles and uncover hidden storylines that brought the vampiric Strigoi to a now vacant village. Find a way to communicate with the Mothman via electromagnetic radiation, but don’t linger. Whatever’s out there is tracking you, too.
Wander through wooded forests, dank caves, mysterious shrines, sealed catacombs, haunted churches, cult lairs, abandoned military outposts, and other handcrafted environments on a hunt for the world’s most fabled creatures of the night. Discover clues from bloody notes, obscurely placed skeletons, and other oddities to combine wit and intuition and outsmart otherworldly dangers.
Learn what brought each creature into this world and find a way to contain it before it takes any more lives. Take these lessons and apply them to shorter Contract Hunts to tackle randomized locations and puzzles, and earn rewards for living to unlock new gear, traps, and other helpful equipment to personalize your own hunting techniques.
“There are so many approaches to hunting these supernatural beings,” said Jayde Cohen, Founder and sole developer at Liquid Donkey Games. “Shotguns, crossbows, exploding gas cans, crucifixes — even runes with inscription tools to help survive. Pick your poison. How you use them, though? That’s a story for you to tell.”
Folklore Hunter chases after dark rustlings from the woods in Q1 2026 on PC via Steam. For more information, follow developer Liquid Donkey Games on Twitter and join everyone huddled around the fire over on Discord.

An epic story-driven single player experience inspired by Korean mythology, coming to PC and consoles
Seongnam, South Korea – October 23, 2025 | Publisher WEMADE MAX Co. Ltd and developer MADNGINE are thrilled to announce a brand new open world action-RPG, Project TAL, coming to PC and consoles in 2027.
Check out the Project TAL announcement trailer below:
Project TAL is a AAA single player action-RPG that reimagines Korea’s traditional Tal masks, as well as the mythology and folklore that surrounds them, into an epic and deeply immersive fantasy open world for players to explore.
The announcement trailer shows off the game’s cinematic and fast-paced combat, with players able to leap onto massive monsters to deliver powerful attacks, exploit enemy weak spots, and perform tactical counterattacks and skill combos to keep their foes at bay.
Players won’t be fighting alone, however. The trailer also highlights one of Project TAL’s core features — a distinctive companion system that dynamically responds to the player’s combat style and environment.
Each NPC companion character has unique abilities, personalities, and combat roles, ranging from defense and support to melee, ranged, and magic. Players will encounter moments of seamless cooperation in Project TAL, such as catching a falling companion mid-battle, or watching a support companion deploy a magical barrier to deflect enemy attacks.
“Project TAL combines an emotionally resonant story about healing a wounded world with the exhilarating combat of a classic action RPG,” said Sohn Myun-seok, CEO of WEMADE MAX. “With MADNGINE’s technical expertise and artistic vision, we’re creating a AAA open-world title built to compete on a global stage.”
Project TAL Features:
Climbing action, where players can leap onto massive monsters to deliver devastating strikes
A weakness exploit system that allows players to target enemy weak spots and shift the flow of battle
Tactical counterattacks and skill combos performed alongside companions in fast-paced combat
Intelligent NPC companions will shift the tide of battle, dynamically responding to aid the player in combat
Project TAL is currently in development for PC and console, with a global release planned for 2027.

Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I jumped into a multiplayer shooter and got torn to shreds. Let’s not beat around the bush – I’m pretty bad at it, but also a perfect specimen for multiplayer matches. I serve as an exp boost, as someone that pro players can train on, and if (and that’s a big IF) I manage to score a kill or two, that’s a win-win for everyone (but mostly for the enemy team). I am joking a little bit, of course, but even despite my lack of skill, the Battlefield games have managed to always lure me in so far and make me feel like a welcoming member of the online community. Granted, I haven’t delved extensively into any of those releases since Battlefield 1, but what better time to jump into them than now, since Battlefield 6 just got released!
Story
Set in 2027, the story drops the player into a world on fire. NATO’s planned withdrawal from Georgia falls apart when the private military giant Pax Armata launches a surprise assault, turning a simple handover into an all-out war. Gunnery Sergeant Dylan Murphy and his Marine Raider squad, Tempest 1-2, fight to sabotage key cybersecurity assets before evacuation, but their escape is cut short when their helicopter is shot down, leaving Murphy as the only survivor.
A year later, Pax amps up the conflict by assassinating NATO’s Secretary General, triggering a mass defection of member nations and reshaping the world’s power balance. Murphy, now part of elite unit Dagger 1-3, joins a British-led strike on Gibraltar to take out Pax’s leadership. The mission goes horribly wrong pretty soon when Pax commander Alexander Kincaid ambushes the team and escapes, setting up a personal rivalry and setting himself as the game’s primary antagonist. From there, the story escalates with a few more missions spanning Brooklyn to Egypt, mixing on-foot sections with commandeering a tank and using reckon drones, all building toward a showdown with Kincaid, but not without a few twists and turns along the way. As you can imagine, the game’s ending also sets a stage for a story sequel, but that’s honestly expected at this point.
Gameplay
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s focus on the bread and butter of this game – multiplayer. To be fair, I do recommend completing the singeplayer campaign not only for the immersive story, but for a few valuable unlocks that transfer over to multiplayer (skins, titles, exp boosters, etc). I admit that I jumped into the multiplayer considerably later (as in, 2-3 days after the release), where I’m already matched with absolute killstreak beasts and ace pilots – which is not really an issue….as long as they’re not on the enemy team.
But even taking into account my absolute lack of skill, the game still manages to trump over any kind of frustration just by being incredibly fun and engaging. I know that even if I manage to score only a few sniper headshots in the match, they are completely earned and deserved. Just like every kill, tank explosion, claymore trap, every revive, and so on. There is no such thing as an overpowered class; each has its own advantages and flaws. Every map is a story for itself that needs to be studied for choke points, vantage points, and sniper camping spots. The only thing that I could complain about at this point is a needless grind when it comes to some unlocks in multiplayer. As you know, the unlocks are mostly tied to challenges and leveling. Some truly versatile weapons and gadgets are locked behind grinding goals, such as taking down an insane amount of enemies in a specific way or with a particular weapon. But even taking that into account, the starting weapons for every class offer an extensive level of customization when it comes to weapon attachments.
Visuals
My entry into the game wasn’t exactly a smooth ride. After the install, I was welcomed with a rather confusing message about enabling secure boot to start the game. And then the game closed itself. So that was the end of my story. Or it would have been if I hadn’t found out that the secure boot setup is pretty mandatory to enter the game. After some guidance from Google and fiddling with setting that up (which, by the way, varies from motherboard to motherboard), I was finally let in.
And I have to tell you – in all my years of playing games and reviewing them, I have yet to find a game that can share a spot with Battlefield 6 with how incredibly well optimized, smooth, and gorgeous it is. I mean, I can always use my lack of skill as an excuse regarding my low K/D ratio, but I don’t want to tell how many times I was killed or headshot across the map simply by stopping and admiring the graphics, level design, and the environment. So that one is entirely on me. This is a game that was working flawlessly on day 1 without any crashes, stuttering, or slowdowns. I don’t know what kind of voodoo magic the developers employed here, but please – keep at it.
Audio
The Battlefield series has always been stellar when it comes to audio and sound design, and I didn’t expect anything different here. Every weapon is a story for itself, and after playing long enough, you’ll develop a superpower, where you will further improve your sense of hearing, especially in close combat maps, listening to the enemy footsteps or crouching cowardly in the bushes while taking notes of what weapons enemies are using so you can counteract with something of your own. While I only managed to jump into a jet and a helicopter a few times, piloting them (when I don’t crash straight into the ground) feels like playing a completely different game. I honestly believe there is an untapped market for Battlefield 6 developers by developing a combat flight sim down the road, something that could easily rival the Ace Combat series. And yes, I’m basing that alone on absolutely flawless audio work in this game.
Overall
There is not much to add here at this point. While the multiplayer has a somewhat uneven learning curve (assuming you haven’t played it from day 1, just like me), and grind-to-unlock for segment weapons & attachments is pretty evident, nothing else stands out, and at this point, I would just be nitpicking for flaws. And if by some strange reason, this is your first entry into the Battlefield series, this is “the one”. Well worth the price, and judging by the current player count, it will be years before we might get bored with it. Every aspect of the game is tightly knit with the other, from gameplay to visuals, and (I have to mention it again), one of the best optimizations and fluidity of gameplay that I’ve seen in years. All in all, an absolute recommendation.

BLEACH Rebirth of Souls’newest characteris out now, introducing the powerful Ichibe Hyosube, leader of the Royal Guard and head of all Soul Reapers. Ichibe specialises in limiting his opponent’s power while unleashing unconventional and versatile combo attacks.
Ichibe Hyosube is a powerhouse who weakens his opponents through the Painted Over State, a condition that reduces their damage output and increases the damage they receive. He can apply this state through various attacks and enhance it further during combat, stacking debuffs that disrupt the opponent’s strategy. His abilities also allow him to disable Spiritual Power, making him especially effective against characters who rely on it. When Ichibe activates his Awakening, he instantly inflicts the Painted Over State and adds a powerful debuff that cuts the strength of the opponent’s key moves in half, giving him strong control over the flow of battle.
BLEACH Rebirth of Souls is available forPlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and PC. In the game, players can engage in thrilling battles with their favourite BLEACH characters and immerse themselves in the anime universe in multiple game modes.

KYOTO, JAPAN — Oct. 22, 2025 —I Mother, a prehistoric action-adventure told without spoken or written language, created by solo development studio Hell Yeah! and published by indie.io, is now available today on Windows PC via Steam.
Experience the dawn of human communication through instinct, symbol, and emotion.
In an era devoid of technology and words, when only symbols—and emotions—existed to guide mankind, I Mother invites players to experience the dawn of human communication through instinct, symbol, and emotion. Rather than teaching a constructed language or offering direct translation mechanics, the game focuses on interpretation, encouraging players to find meaning on their own. Every gesture, sound, and symbol becomes part of an evolving dialogue between the player and the prehistoric world.
Inspired by the research of paleoanthropologist Genevieve von Petzinger, these prehistoric symbols originate from archaeological discoveries that mark the foundation of early human communication. Dating back as early as 35,000 to 10,000 BCE, Hell Yeah! revived a forgotten “language” to help players resonate with ancestral life.
I Mother represents early human living and the impactful evolutionary teachings of a forgotten time. Observe, relate, and form personal connections to progress in this emotional journey. In an era without language or maps, learn how human senses provide self-navigation through real mind-mapping techniques, using only the self to survive and explore.
The game also explores mankind’s first spiritual experiences through the use of land art, dreams, and rare natural phenomena. The events of each day give the protagonist intense dreams—or even nightmares—in which she must fight her demons in a literal sense, improving her emotional strength and allowing her to overcome her fears in real life.
By removing conventional dialogue and instructions, I Mother creates an “emerging experience”: a game world that adapts to each player’s personal interpretation. Early playtests show that no two players describe the same story—or even the same mechanics. The result is an evocative exploration of humanity’s earliest communication—and a powerful reminder that meaning is something we still create together.
Additionally, those who courageously master the ways of this time can face challenges in the form of hidden Prehistoric Trials to collect real prehistoric art and unravel the story depicted through interactive cave drawings.
Immerse yourself in the sounds of the land, brought to life by the beats of tribal drums and the ritualistic vocals from Paleowolf. Become captivated by the wonders of pure connection through the interpretation of a time of living that exudes critical thinking beyond the wildest of dreams.
“I was so touched when the developer behind I Mother reached out to share how my research had inspired his story. He’s captured that thrilling moment in our shared past when the first marks began to mean something. It’s a game that teaches without lecturing – you absorb the origins of human communication simply by playing, exploring, and feeling. It’s fun, it’s emotional, and it’s wonderfully true to the science.” – Genevieve von Petzinger, National Geographic Explorer, TED Fellow, Paleoanthropologist
I Mother interprets meaning through early human markings on PC via Steam today, for $14.99 USD with a 20% launch discount.
Hell Yeah! is the label of Adam Buczek, a solo developer and game designer working out of Kyoto, Japan. After stints as European Creative Lead at Xbox and running Skeleton Crew Studio, Adam decided to go fully indie and make the kind of games only one slightly unhinged human would. His work has already picked up awards along the way — Voyna snagged Gold for Best Strategy at the NYX Awards, and I Mother took home Gold at the INDIGO Design Awards.
