ROGUE OPS arrives on October 22, bringing major changes to Gray Zone Warfare, including a new core Hideout gameplay loop and a crafting system. MADFINGER Games is also announcing a major autumn sale ahead of the update’s release.

Allow Jakub Vamberský, Communications Lead at MADFINGER Games to guide you through the teaser trailer, now available here:

Brno, Czech Republic, October 1, 2026 — Gray Zone Warfare is entering its Alpha stage of development with a wide range of new content and improvements, many of them directly inspired by player feedback. Among the most requested additions is the ability to create multiple playable characters.

Three major new locations, the Radio Observatory, Asylum, and Military Research Site, will offer hours of new exploration while expanding the game’s lore, atmosphere, tactical challenges, and opportunities to secure some of Lamang’s most valuable loot.

“Announcing the release date for Rogue Ops is a commitment to delivering the best possible experience to our dedicated community,” said Tomáš Nawar, spokesperson for MADFINGER Games. “We will also give our most dedicated supporters the opportunity to experience the update before its official release.”

Three days before launch, selected journalists, streamers, content creators, and owners of the Supporter Edition will be invited to play the update early. Through previews, livestreams and creator coverage, the wider community will be able to see authentic gameplay and experience firsthand how far Gray Zone Warfare has come.

One of the biggest additions in Rogue Ops is the introduction of the Hideout and crafting system, creating an entirely new layer of progression and player choice. Players will be able to produce chemical substances and narcotics for medical purposes or the illegal market, opening up new opportunities and creating competition based on the paths they choose to pursue.

Crafting will also allow players to research and develop new technologies, including hacking tools that can unlock previously inaccessible areas. This new gameplay loop represents another step on the journey toward Ground Zero.

Rogue Ops will also be the first major Gray Zone Warfare update to preserve players’ existing progression. As part of the game’s first soft wipe, only in-game currency and equipment will be reset, while existing progression will remain intact.

From October 1 through October 8, all editions of Gray Zone Warfare will be available at a 33% discount as part of the Steam Autumn Sale. The discounted Supporter Edition offers an ideal opportunity for players who want to take part in the Rogue Ops Supporter Preview ahead of the full release.

Over the three weeks leading up to the launch of Rogue Ops, the Gray Zone Warfare community can also look forward to a three-part devlog series, in which the developers will reveal a wide range of new features, improvements, and details about the upcoming update.

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 1, 2026) – Vincent Adinolfi and DreadXP announced that the lo-fi psychological horror thriller Heartworm is now live on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Blending the spirit of the survival horror classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill with modern gameplay options, Heartworm tells a deeply personal story through pre-rendered and in-game cutscenes, classic and mind-bending puzzle-solving, and limited but meaningful, tense combat using a camera as your weapon to fend off what lies ahead. Originally launched on PC in July of 2025, Heartworm has become a cult classic among its growing community. Heartworm Launch Trailer:

In Heartworm, players are invited to step into a world where memories and mourning blur the lines between reality and supernatural visions. Follow Sam, a young woman overcome with grief after the passing of her beloved grandfather, as her quest for closure leads her into a deep rabbit hole of online forums – and ultimately to a remote haunted house up in the mountains.  What begins as a desperate attempt to reconnect with the past quickly spirals into something more sinister and inexplicable, as she pushes deeper into the unknown armed with only a camera and her determination to venture further.

Featuring optional tank controls, PSX-style visuals and retro effects, you can tailor the experience to make it feel like it’s straight out of the late ’90s, or scale back the nostalgia a little bit for a more modern experience. 

An original soundtrack and evocative environments guide you through 4-6 hours of exploration, tension and discovery, with multiple endings waiting on the other side.

Leamington Spa, UK – October 1, 2026: Immersive, Disco-punk, space horror RetroSpace is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players can now step aboard the Aurora 5 and attempt to survive a space station swallowed by a black hole, with the game available for $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99, alongside a launch discount for the first week.

Players looking to dive even deeper into the world of RetroSpace can also pick up the Deluxe Edition, which includes the base game and the unOfficial Janitors’ Handbook, a 48-page digital artbook packed with concept art, character and creature designs, locations, equipment, weapons, and in-universe propaganda. Filled with handwritten notes and hints from the station’s janitors, the handbook offers a closer look at the strange world of Aurora 5 and the people and creatures who call it home.

To celebrate the launch, RetroSpace has also teamed up with System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster, Void Bastards and Gloomwood for a series of Steam-only bundles, giving players the chance to pick up RetroSpace alongside some of the games that helped define its unique brand of immersive sci-fi horror.

RetroSpace is an immersive, disco-punk space horror where you can be a sneaky chap or a mutant action hero as you try to survive on a space station swallowed by a black hole. A mind-bending ride with weird creatures, immersive features, time jumps, and ’70s mustaches!

About RetroSpace

RetroSpace is a love letter to the immersive games of yesteryear, with a modern sensibility and some unique, genre-bending twists.

KEY FEATURES

• Play Your Way – Sneak, hack, create diversions, lure enemies into traps, discover hidden routes, or fight your way through Aurora 5. Every obstacle has multiple solutions.
• A True Immersive Sim – Manipulate interconnected systems, exploit environmental hazards, turn security against your enemies, and solve problems creatively.
• Mutamods™ – Unlock powerful mutations that enhance stealth, combat, exploration, and mobility. Beware – every upgrade may come with unexpected side effects.
• Explore Aurora 5 – Navigate a massive interconnected space station filled with secrets, shortcuts, alternate paths, and hidden areas.
• Death, Cloning & Consequences – Death is not the end. Clone yourself, recover your lost gear, and deal with the consequences of repeated resurrection.
• Disco-Punk Space Horror – Experience a unique blend of retro-futurism, cosmic horror, dark humor, and narrative-driven exploration.
• Reactive Gameplay – Learn enemy behaviours, adapt your strategy, and use the station’s systems to gain the upper hand.

IMMERSIVE DISCO-PUNK SPACE-HORROR!

You were but a simple janitor, now you are the last hope of all humanity! A space station has been swallowed by a sentient black hole, weird animal and plant hybrids roam the corridors, and even time itself has gone completely mad around you. Navigate with stealth or unleash a blast-tastic odyssey through the cursed station. Will you be the hero Earth needs, or are you groovin’ to save your own soul? The choice is yours!

SURVIVING AURORA 5

The enemies on the station of Aurora 5 are completely different from each other, so you’ve gotta channel your inner mad scientist to outsmart ’em. Survival ain’t just luck; it’s about cracking the code on their behavior, special abilities, and weaknesses. You will also have to deal with a variety of environmental factors. Security systems – for example – can be extremely deadly unless you find a way and turn them into traps or even unlikely allies…

STEALTH VS ACTION

Don’t like conflicts? Would you rather hide in the dark or find a way around your enemy? Or are you the kind who goes completely mental and attacks your opponent with its own flaming body part? The choice is yours, janitor! RetroSpace allows you to solve situations in many different ways. Total avoidance is as legit as a diversion, trap setting, or full-on “balls-to-the-wall” action.

THE STATION

Aurora 5 is a massively interconnected and open station that you are free to explore. As you discover new and new areas, shortcuts, and secret paths will open up to previously visited locations. This can be accessed through a (mostly) peaceful central HUB area, where you can return anytime when you can’t take the madness and horror any longer.

MUTAMODS, DEATH, AND REBIRTH

Mutamods™ can make your life much easier and enhance your combat and stealth skills. Want to become a tentacle-armed, mind-controlling, shadow-lurking mutant madman? Be our guest. BUT BEWARE! Mutamods™ may have unexpected and irreversible side effects…

Death will be integral to your journey, but don’t worry! Aurora can produce an infinite number of clones of you. But here’s the hitch – cloning ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. You should be prepared for some severe cloning degenerations, and of course, it is highly recommended to get your stuff back from your former self. Get ready for a wild ride through the psychedelic unknown, where every death is just another funky twist in your interstellar journey!

007 First Light’s free Extended Operations DLC is available now, bringing New Game+, a new 00 difficulty mode, refined weapon handling animation, a full Photo Mode, new TacSim content featuring the Aston Martin Valhalla

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – October 1^st, 2026 – IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind the HITMAN franchise, and Amazon MGM Studios announced today that 007 First Light will be receiving a brand new DLC, Extended Operations, available today. This content-packed free DLC delivers on some of the most requested additions from the 007 First Light community since launch, introducing New Game+, a new 00 difficulty mode, improved weapon handling animation fidelity, a Photo Mode, new TacSim content with the Valhalla Protocol missions featuring the Aston Martin Valhalla, and new Tacsim missions set in the Vietnam location.

New Game+

Extended Operations introduces New Game+ to 007 First Light, unlocked upon completing the campaign on any difficulty. Once unlocked, players can replay the campaign, from the beginning or from any completed checkpoint, with full access to their unlocked outfits and gadgets, letting agents experience Bond’s story all over again, sporting the attire that best fits their taste.

New Game+ also unlocks 00 difficulty mode, a new and considerably harder difficulty setting built for players who want a true test of their tradecraft. The 00 difficulty mode sharpens combat, stealth, and social encounters alike: enemies react faster to bodies and disturbances, certain guard archetypes are swapped for tougher variants, gadget use is restricted within a guard’s line of sight, and combat itself becomes far less forgiving, with two-hit kills, tighter parry and side-step timing, and reduced agency gained in a fight. Players who want the challenge without the customization, or the customization without the challenge, remain free to mix and match: once unlocked, custom outfits and gadgets can be carried into a New Game+ replay on Easy, Normal, or Hard, just as easily as on 00 difficulty.

New TacSim content

Teased in the game at launch, the Valhalla Protocol content is now playable, bringing the state-of-the-art Aston Martin Valhalla to the beautiful Slovakian Mountains. The Valhalla Protocol content takes the form of four different missions, allowing players to drive the Valhalla by day and by night, with different sets of challenges. Of course, the Valhalla is fully kitted out with the weaponry that James Bond uses during the main campaign, which players will need to use to take down targets, earn time bonuses, and post the best result possible.

James Bond will also be returning to The Pearl, Vietnam’s luxury resort, in a new TacSim mission that sends him deep into a guarded villa to retrieve classified documents. The entire property is now in play, every area, including the rooftop, is part of the active gameplay space, and the villa’s interior has been redesigned to offer richer opportunities for stealth.

Last but not least, TacSim missions now welcome additional weapons, with the full arsenal of the main campaign now in players’ hands when they take on the various missions. 

Photo Mode

Answering one of the most requested features since launch, Extended Operations adds a full Photo Mode to 007 First Light. Players can now freeze the action at any moment with a single button press and take full creative control of the shot, with a focused set of tools built to let players capture the world of 007 First Light. Photo Mode includes basic game controls (UI visibility, character posing), camera controls (transform and lens adjustments), image controls (brightness and post-processing filters), and frame controls (background and logo options), giving players everything they need to compose their perfect shot of Bond’s reimagined story, from the Grand Carpathian’s chess tables to the neon-lit streets of Aleph.

Gameplay Additions

Finally, the DLC sees two main gameplay additions:

• Improved weapon handling animation fidelity, giving even more precision to Bond’s movement and weapon behaviour when being handled
• A fan-favourite method to dispatch enemies in the game, being thrown off a ledge, is no longer exclusive to Bond’s opponents, with the spy now also subject to the move, so players will need to stay on their guard.

007 First Light is available now, on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, on Amazon.com, as well as for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch 2 version will follow in March 2027. 007 First Light is available in Standard, Deluxe, Collector’s, and Legacy Editions.

Discover the battlefield in a brand-new launch trailer.

Hertfordshire, 1^st October 2026 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force invite fans to relive the intense 1 vs 1,000 action of one of the DYNASTY WARRIORS series’ most beloved titles with the release of DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered, now available on PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ 2, XBOX Series X|S, and PC Windows via Steam®. In celebration of the launch, a brand-new trailer displaying the fierce, enhanced battles has been unveiled.

DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered allows fans to return to the battlefield to re-experience this series-defining title, which includes all content from the original DYNASTY WARRIORS 3 game and its expansion DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Xtreme Legends. These titles are recreated in the Remastered edition with refined graphics and controls, as well as new features and scenarios. Additionally, over 40 officers from the original roster make their return alongside DYNASTY WARRIORS: ORIGINS protagonist Ziluan.

Fans will recognise key features of the original game such as True Musou Attacks and two-player co-op, which make a return in DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered. However, fans can also enjoy new features, such as “Evasion”, which allows players to dodge enemy attacks or temporarily withdraw from the battlefield; furthermore, evading an attack with perfect timing will trigger a “Just Evasion”, a powerful counterattack. Players will also be able to employ the “Perfect Power Guard” feature, deflecting enemy attacks in order to open a window to launch a counterattack that will stun opponents if the classic “Power Guard” is timed correctly. By using both returning and new features, fans can experience the evolution of this iconic title and dominate the battlefield with powerful, tactical elements.

Additionally, new scenarios featuring numerous officers that can be obtained by meeting specific conditions have also been added, allowing fans to explore the story of the original title alongside encounters exclusive to this Remastered edition. The “Weapon Fusion” feature is also newly introduced in DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered, which enables players to forge ultimate weapons by consuming unwanted weapons and transferring their elemental attributes and skills to other weapons.

All newly added features can be individually toggled on and off, giving fans full control over their DYNASTY WARRIORS experience. For convenience, these features can also be toggled in bulk with the “Classic Settings” option, offering an experience similar to the original titles, whereas the “Normal Settings” option will apply the recommended settings for the remastered version. Fans can also enjoy the return of the acclaimed offline 2-player mode from the original title, giving players the ability to team-up or go head-to-head with split-screen gameplay, undertaking challenging battles in “Musou Mode”, “Free Mode”, and “VS Mode”. Moreover, fans can look forward to a post-launch update including a highly anticipated online two player co-op mode, which was announced during DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered’s Tokyo Game Show 2026 special stage. Further information regarding this update, including full details and timing, will be revealed in due course.

Before setting out onto the battlefield, players can put their mettle to the test in DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered’s free demo, which allows fans to try the revived version of the special scenario ‘Battle of Hulao Gate (Allied Forces)’. Players can engage in this conflict with six playable officers (Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Xiahou Dun, Zhenji, Zhou Yu, and Sun Shangxiang) and may also have the chance to face down an iconic formidable opponent at the end of the stage if particular conditions are met during the battle. In addition, it is possible to adjust settings, such as the difficulty or language.

DYNASTY WARRIORS 3: Complete Edition Remastered is now available on PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ 2, XBOX Series X|S, and PC Windows via Steam®.

New Medieval Houses DLC arrives on PC, PlayStation and Xbox today, while the previously released Verne Bannerless DLC makes its console debut alongside major update

Watford, UK – 1 October 2026 – Two and a half years after Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles first invited players into the Great Ursee, solo developer Tomas Sala is still finding new things to build there. Today, Wired Productions launches Medieval Houses, a new DLC for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, alongside the console debut of Verne Bannerless and a major free update for console players.

Watch the new trailer:

Medieval Houses brings a touch of high fantasy to the Ursee, introducing six distinctive timber-framed houses to settlements! A new square tower cap gives towers connected to a fortress a more imposing look. It is a chance to build somewhere that feels a little more like a medieval stronghold, albeit one perched above an endless sea… and for players whose first thought on seeing that stronghold is “How do I attack it?”, Verne Bannerless arrives on consoles for the first time. Previously released on PC, the DLC adds the Bannerless Corsair warbird, Verne Missile ship and Piranha Fast airship to the skies of the Ursee.

Alongside the DLC releases, a major free console update gives every player more to explore. Upgradable surveyors include the enormous, heavily armed Behemoth. More flexible curved walls offer new possibilities for settlements, while ships on owned trade routes can now be selected and sailed. Changes to wars, enemy behaviour and fleet formations make conflicts more dynamic, and Arbology towers allow trees to take root across the Ursee once again.

“Bulwark has always been a game I wanted to keep building with its players,” said Tomas Sala, solo developer of Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles. “Some want to make a beautiful little haven on a rock in the middle of the sea. Others immediately ask how many cannons they can put on it. I think there should be room for both.”

Today’s launch follows the September Early Access release of ShipShaper, Tomas’s third game with Wired Productions after The Falconeer and Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles. Wired and Tomas have also signed a new seven-year publishing agreement, giving them plenty more time to explore the Ursee and whatever else Tomas dreams up next.

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles blends relaxed, creative building with exploration and strategy. Players can shape a peaceful settlement, raise fortresses and command fleets, or simply follow their curiosity across the Great Ursee.

Medieval Houses is available today for $2.99 / €2.99 / £2.49. Verne Bannerless is available now on PlayStation and Xbox for $1.99 /€1.99 / £1.49. The base game is also 50% off on Steam for a limited time.
