RDBK Studios Announces September 22 Launch Date for Medieval PvP Survival Sandbox, Renown 

0

New Gameplay Trailer Showcases Brutal Siege Warfare, Deep Customisation, and Large-Scale Player Battles

Melbourne, Australia – RDBK Studios has announced that Renown, its highly anticipated medieval PvP survival builder, will launch into Early Access next week, on September 22, 2025. Accompanying the announcement is a new gameplay trailer that offers a glimpse into the chaos, craftsmanship, and combat that await players in this gritty, large-scale medieval world.

Renown throws up to 100 players into sprawling, open-world servers where survival is earned through strategy and strength. Players will gather resources, build powerful strongholds, and lead their clans in brutal, skill-based combat against rival factions. Every wall built, every alliance formed, and every sword swing could tip the balance of power.

Renown offers a richly tactical and mechanically precise medieval warfare experience, where players can construct and defend vast castles, engineer powerful siege weapons to destroy enemy fortifications, and engage in everything from intense one-on-one duels to large-scale battles. With deep customisation options for weapons and armour, including unique patterns, skins, and emblems, players can express their identity on the battlefield as they rise from humble beginnings to become renowned.

After a successful Kickstarter campaign in May 2024 and a series of well-received community playtests, Renown has rapidly climbed the Steam charts to become one of the platform’s most wishlisted survival games. Renown will launch into Early Access on PC via Steam next week on September 22nd. For updates, community playtest details, and exclusive previews, join the official Renown Discord community.

Thursday, 18th September (MILAN, Italy): 3DClouds is delighted to announce that the sim-cade racer Formula Legends is officially out now for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch platforms worldwide.

Priced at £19.99 / $19.99 / €19.99, Formula Legends playfully emulates the last 60 years of the world’s premier open-wheel motorsport with drivers tackling some of the most iconic locations in the world re-imagined for fast-paced wheel-to-wheel competition. 

To commemorate the launch, 3DClouds has released a brand new trailer which showcases new gameplay footage, historic cars, tracks and more.

Formula Legends features arcade-like approachability, colourful visuals and delightfully reimagined historic and modern vehicles, but underneath its attractive exterior lies deep simulation-inspired gameplay incorporating tyre-wear, fuel consumption, track evolution, damage simulation and changeable weather conditions. This easy-to-pick-up, hard-to-master philosophy drives every aspect of Formula Legends with multiple difficulty tiers, customisable race lengths and various driving assists enabling players to tailor the experience to their liking.

Formula Legends’ refreshing approach to motorsport has attracted a strong following since its announcement earlier this year – boasting over 200,000 demo downloads and over 100,000 wishlists across Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Network, Xbox Store and Nintendo eShop. 

We’ve all poured our hearts and souls into Formula Legends’ development,” said Francesco Bruschi, CEO of 3DClouds. “We have been blown away by the positive response to the game from media, content creators and players, with launch being just the next step for us.”

“We’ve designed Formula Legends to be fully mod-able – from the smallest in-game livery logo to entire car models and more,” Bruschi added. “The PC version of Formula Legends can be easily decompiled and recompiled allowing the community to mod, tweak and create whatever they want and share their efforts with others. We can’t wait to see what they create!”

3DClouds has released a detailed post-release roadmap for Formula Legends which confirms three new DLCs in development as well as a brand new historical era, along with lots of improvements and additions to the core game in response to fan feedback.

The match-3 survival-horror comedy RPG Metroidvania is now available on Xbox Series X|S, with iOS version coming October 28

El Paso, TX – September 17, 2025 – Developer Strange Scaffold (I Am Your Beast, CLICKOLDING, El Paso, Elsewhere), in partnership with publisher Frosty Pop, are excited to announce that Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 is available today on Xbox Series X|S, with iOS coming later this year on October 28. This follows the successful PC launch this past spring.

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 (CRDM3) is an unholy cocktail of genres: match-3, survival horror, choice-driven narrative, RPG, and just plain weird. As J.J. Hardwell, players investigate a decrepit mansion plagued by unusual dinosaur activity, only to discover they are trapped inside a video game.

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 – Xbox Release Trailer

As a sequel to a game series that doesn’t exist, complete with lore and a fictional development team, CRDM3 “commits to the bit” so hard it hurts. With razor-sharp game development satire, CRDM3 is a bizarre, side-splitting adventure about the way creations can take on a life of their own — and the bright futures the games industry fails to even try to explore.
