Return to the world of The Necromancer’s Tale in a stand-alone prequel spanning 30 years of war, black magic and superstition in 18th-century Europe.

October 15, 2026 – Independent studio Psychic Software today announced The Lich Wars, a story-rich Gothic RPG that blends branching interactive fiction with RPG skills and narrative-driven combat. The game is a prequel to the studio’s critically acclaimed CRPG The Necromancer’s Tale, and its reveal trailer is available to watch now.

In The Lich Wars, you begin as a new recruit in the Rychva Musketeers in the alt-history kingdom of Rulsthen, near Venice and are soon thrown into a bloody war won by raising the dead. What follows is a military career shaped by the choices you make, as fear and superstition spread across the land until civil war erupts and the Lich rises.

The story is told through an estimated 300,000 words of hand-written narrative, with skill checks across nine RPG skills and a combat system built on hand-written prose and randomised critical-hit tables. Battles move seamlessly from duels to skirmishes, naval clashes to full-scale battlefield manoeuvres.

The Lich Wars is entirely stand-alone: no knowledge of The Necromancer’s Tale is needed and the two games can be played in either order. Returning players will meet familiar characters earlier in their lives and discover the events that brought necromancy to Rulsthen.

Visually, the branching narrative plays out in a 3D book, while key scenes are staged as hand-painted miniatures on the tabletop beside it. Hundreds of original illustrations, portraits and maps accompany the text. Partial voice acting brings key characters and moments of narration to life.

“In The Necromancer’s Tale, the years between 1700 and 1728 were only a brief prologue, yet players kept asking about them. The Lich Wars is our chance to tell that story properly and to lean into the writing that players responded to most. At its heart it’s a Gothic tale about a society haunted by its past. Necromancy works, but nobody fully understands its cost and every character remembers the war in a way that lets them live with what they did. Those questions about progress, responsibility and the ethics of war feel as relevant today as they did in the 1700s,” said Sam Redfern, lead developer and narrative lead at Psychic Software.

KEY FEATURES

• A Soldier’s Life Across Two Wars: Live a 30-year military career, from the Venetian War of 1701-08 to the civil war of 1727-28, with three main career paths to follow.
• Interactive Fiction Meets RPG: Explore an estimated 300,000 words of branching, hand-written narrative shaped by nine skills spanning physical, social and intellectual abilities.
• Tabletop-Inspired Combat: Fight through duels, naval battles and full-scale warfare in narrative combat driven by randomised critical-hit tables.
• Unreliable Memories: Follow Aleks and three lifelong friends who live through the same events but remember them differently and not always honestly.
• A Hand-Painted Gothic World: Experience the story through a 3D book, tabletop miniatures, hundreds of original illustrations and partial voice acting.
• The Prequel to The Necromancer’s Tale: Discover how necromancy came to Rulsthen and meet familiar characters in their earlier years, in a fully stand-alone adventure.

The Lich Wars is currently in development for PC via Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2245710/The_Lich_Wars/

Grime doesn’t pay – unless you’re an industrious pig with a power washer!

LOS ANGELES – October 15, 2026 – Grab your goggles and get ready for the scrub-down of the century. Acclaim, Inc. and Valadria today launched Pixel Washer, the cozy, zen-like power-washing sim where players restore a grimy pixelated town to its former glory, into Steam Early Access for $12.99 USD. Switch 2 owners will be able to spray their way to glory alongside the game’s 1.0 release in 2027.

“It’s hard to believe it now, but Pixel Washer began as a “shower thought”, hastily scribbled onto a waterproof notebook as a silly new game idea,” said Pixel Washer creator Matt Hackett. “I casually started writing the game from scratch, and over time it ballooned into a big project backed by the legendary label Acclaim! We’re not done yet, in fact we’ll be making loads of changes based on player feedback during Early Access. If that interests you, please check out the game, and help us make this the best little piggy game it can be. Wash on!”

To celebrate the game’s Early Access launch, Acclaim has released a new trailer narrated by legendary NBA Jam voice actor, Tim Kitzrow. Watch as Pigxel straps on his goggles and hoses his way through a variety of crud-caked locales, upping the pressure on mountains of muck with an arsenal of dirt-devouring power-washing attachments.

Early Access Note: Today’s launch kicks off a broader content roadmap for Pigxel. Throughout Early Access, Valadria and Acclaim will keep expanding the game with new content, features, quality-of-life improvements, and community-driven updates, while also exploring crossover and licensing opportunities. All of it builds toward the full 1.0 release and the planned console rollout, supported by a larger worldwide scrubbing. 

Developed by California-based indie developer Valadria, Pixel Washer puts players behind the stylish goggles of Pigxel, a pig tasked with turning filthy environments into shining pixel art masterpieces. Armed with a trusty power washer, players transform dirty sprites into pixel art masterpieces across a variety of sullied settings, all set to a chill soundtrack.

Key Features

• Wash and Restore – Use your power washer to blast away grime and bring beautiful pixel art levels back to their full glory.
• Upgrade Your Arsenal – Earn money on the job and spend it on more powerful washers, new vehicles, and additional equipment.
• Cozy Vibes – Relax to a chill soundtrack and satisfying sound design that makes cleaning feel like a reward, not a chore.
• Explore a Pixelated World – Choose from a wide variety of pixel art levels and discover the charm hiding under all that dirt.

Earn cash by any means necessary, fix the car, and get out of dodge ASAP

WARSAW – 15 Oct., 2026 – Don’t get cozy. They’re watching your every move in Odd Town, the retro-styled first-person sandbox adventure from solo developer The Flying Baguette and publisher HYPERSTRANGE, available today on PC via Steam.

As an out-of-towner stranded in Saint Sectaire after their car goes on the fritz, figure out how to earn enough cash to fix whatever’s busted…that is, if the townsfolk are trustworthy. And why wouldn’t they be? Explore a “totally normal” handcrafted town in a bite-sized open world adventure as a morally sound, upstanding citizen cleaning up the local cinema — or seek other, more devious means.

Odd jobs take a lot of moxie, but there’s only one way out of this bizarre borough. Choose a moral path wisely as every action has consequences here. Eat, drink, sleep, smoke, steal sandwiches, kick down doors, break storefront windows, and exercise autonomy in other creative ways while uncovering sinister secrets fueling the strange activities covered up by dystopian denizens.

Avoid the cops at all costs, or be thrown in jail for any crimes they even think you committed. Discover secret hidden passages all around town to escape prison, or enter restricted areas hiding unknown horrors from the public eye. Chat with citizens to help them with new jobs in a dynamic world with reactive characters to befriend (or make into new enemies). Be mindful as unusual incidents begin to occur, where people disappear, and police get more aggressive.

“The best mysteries offer many threads to pull at to keep you guessing,” said Przemysław Miliński, co-founder of HYPERSTRANGE. “Odd Town features a bite-sized open world absolutely packed with interwoven interactivity between the player and the townspeople. With full freedom to choose how to approach every situation comes unpredictable consequences, so unraveling Odd Town’s narrative will play out differently for everyone.”

Odd Town opens its doors to the public today on PC via Steam with English-language support for $11.99. For more information, visit the official website, follow HYPERSTRANGE on X/Twitter, BlueSky, Facebook, and join the community in the official Discord server.

CALIFORNIA – Oct. 15, 2026 – UvsU: You vs You, the dark claymation puzzle platformer, where you play against your past self, launches on PC via Steam on Thursday, Jan. 21, 2027, as revealed during IGN Fan Fest. The demo is available now on Steam, with over 350 reviews and a 98% “Very Positive” rating!

In UvsU: You vs You, you play against recordings of your past self in time-loop mind-melting puzzles. Each puzzle consists of multiple loops, where you will switch roles between angel and devil, which have alternating, seemingly conflicting goals. The angel must reach the end and the devil must kill the angel. The twist is that every loop is recorded, and the other characters are all performing your own past actions. The puzzle is only solved when all the characters have met the goal of their loop.

Beyond the puzzle chambers, UvsU: You vs You emphasizes non-linear exploration, environmental discovery, and knowledge-based progression. Inspired by classics like Braid, The Neverhood, Animal Well, and Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, the game blends tactile aesthetics with mind-bending logic. The narrative is entirely textless, delivered through handmade stop-motion style cutscenes.

UvsU: You vs You launches on Thursday, Jan. 21, 2027 on PC via Steam. The game will include language support for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified).

This year, millions of you stepped up to protect humanity from an apocalyptic zombie outbreak in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check – but your work is not over.

Launching today on PC and Xbox, Miami Zero is a massive free expansion for Brigada Games’ smash hit zombie checkpoint simulator. Taking the action to the sun-soaked (and frequently rain-soaked) streets of Miami, you’ll witness the immediate aftermath of the outbreak as you experience new gameplay, new survivors, new quests, and more.

WELCOME TO MIAMI, WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Step into the first chaotic days of the outbreak and discover how the infection that would soon engulf the world began. Miami is bright, loud, colorful and wildly unpredictable, filled with eccentric characters and survivors you will not find anywhere else.

INVESTIGATE AN INFECTION THAT KEEPS CHANGING
The virus is still evolving, and so is your understanding of it. Study its mutations and trace the infection back to its source while the situation around you grows stranger by the day. The deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to believe that the outbreak was simply an accident.

REBUILD YOUR WAY OUT
Keep the checkpoint running while preparing for the one thing everyone in Miami desperately needs – a way out. Find survivors who can help restore a damaged luxury yacht and turn it into your best chance of escaping the city. New symptoms, new tools and new challenges will keep you guessing as Miami falls deeper into chaos. 

Quarantine Zone: Miami Zero is available now on Xbox and PC – including via Xbox and PC Game Pass – and is free to all owners of the original game. And to celebrate the launch of Miami Zero, the base game is 35% off on Steam from October 15-19. Whether you’re a veteran or a newbie, there’s never been a better time to pull a shift at the checkpoint.
