To all fans of dark and cozy games: the standalone sequel to Strange Horticulture is finally available to play!

September 17th, 2025, Haarlem – The ravens were an omen. Something is stirring below, and Strange Antiquities has opened its doors. Are you prepared for what awaits you? Iceberg Interactive and Bad Viking are delighted to offer you the role of apprentice Thaumaturge at Undermere’s mysterious antique emporium. Though it might seem cozy at first, you must be wary of the relics you possess, and the people that frequent your shop…

Play now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Nintendo Switch with a 10% launch discount!

You may be wondering what your role as an apprentice Thaumaturge entails. You must examine and identify the relics that cross your counter by using all of your senses – yes, including inner perception – the esoteric tomes left at your disposal, and your attention to detail.

Strange Antiquities is the standalone sequel to the indie hit title Strange Horticulture, considered one of the best detective games of the decade by PC Gamer. If you loved the last game, we humbly welcome you back to Undermere – expect even more intricacy and depth than its predecessor.

If not, do not fret, as it can be played on its own without prior knowledge of the dark arts. A quote from John and Rob Donkin, the duo behind the Strange series:

“We’re very excited for you to finally be able to settle into your role as apprentice Thaumaturge at Strange Antiquities! We have put a lot of love and attention to detail into this game, from the dark-but-cozy atmosphere and handcrafted occult artifacts, to the carefully designed puzzles and branching narrative. As the nights draw in and the rain beats down outside the window, we’d like to invite you to grab a blanket and a hot drink and put on your occult detective hat. Consult your reference materials on hermetic symbology and Thaumic gemstones, study your shelves full of items carefully, and most importantly, make sure Jupiter the cat is purring happily on the counter.”

Iceberg Interactive and Bad Viking couldn’t be more excited for your arrival in Undermere. Are you ready to experience firsthand the eerie beauty of Strange Antiquities?

Happy Little Bullets: Meet (and battle) your maker in the frenetic bullet hell shooter available now on Steam, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch™ 

Las Vegas, NV –  September 17 –  From a single stubborn splodge of ink comes a whirlwind of hand-drawn mayhem: PM Studios™ and Retchy Games launch ZOE Begone! today across Steam, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch™.

In this high-energy shoot ‘em up adventure, players guide fearless heroine Zoe as she battles the Animator, her relentless adversary who sketches dangers directly into her path. Frame by frame, the Animator twists the reel into new threats, and Zoe must fight to break free from their restless imagination to achieve one ultimate goal in mind – returning to her peaceful snooze. Zoe’s world is brought to life through hand-drawn enemies created by none other than The Animator, scribbling them into existence in an effort to take her down. 

Watch the release trailer below

“ZOE Begone! is all about embracing imperfection – every jitter of ink, every ragged edge, every chaotic bullet,” stated Graeme Hawkins, Retchy Games. “I hope players lean into that messiness, because for me, that’s where the magic lives.”

“At PM Studios, we love championing creators who dare to be different; Graeme’s vision for ZOE Begone! is exactly that,” says Ami Blaire, CMO, PM Studios. “It’s a perfect reminder of why indies matter, and we’re honored to launch it with Retchy Games.”

Capturing the charm of the 1930s drawn-on-film aesthetic, ZOE Begone! is an indie bullet hell shooter created by solo Scottish developer Graeme Hawkins, aka Retchy Games, where players will dash, shoot, and chain combos through reels of film, fighting dangerous enemies and collecting Apples as currency for powerful upgrades and abilities along the way. The third-wall-breaking Animator uses an array of tools at their disposal to draw Zoe’s enemies, from pens and pencils to knives and even fingers! Tailor your run to suit your playstyle and take down the antagonistic Animator, maybe even bagging a high score along the way. 

Key Features:

• Striking Hand-Drawn Visuals: Fully hand-drawn animations inspired by the animations of Norman McLaren and the golden age of arcade shooters.
• Enemy Chain Scoring System: Keep the action going with high-risk, high-reward chain combos, rewarding aggressive yet strategic gameplay. 
  Global Leaderboards: Compete with players around the globe (as well as yourself) to bag the highest score possible.
• Dynamic Upgrades: Choose between spending your Apples to gain new power-ups, weapons and abilities, or save them for game-altering updates later in a run – the choice is yours.
• Multiple Modes: Switch between classic arcade runs, time-based challenges, and a high-octane boss rush; tackle the action however you want, and learn to master your favourite playstyle.
• Multilayered Difficulty & Combat: Fly or fight on foot across Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties—each with unique scoring potential and enemy patterns.
• Resource-Based Combat System: Manage your Energy to fly, dash, and pound through enemies—or trade it for short-lived, powerful weapons.

Dive deeper into the mysterious world of sci-fi adventure Ambrosia Sky, an immersive sim clean-’em-up

Toronto, Canada – September 17, 2025 – Independent Toronto-based developer Soft Rains, in partnership with Blackbird Interactive (Hardspace: Shipbreaker), is proud to unveil an all-new story trailer today for the upcoming first-person sci-fi adventure and immersive sim Ambrosia Sky.

Blending “clean-’em-up” shooting mechanics and inventive traversal, Ambrosia Sky thrusts you into a mind-bending world of death, decay, and what comes after. Armed with nothing but an anti-fungal sprayer and grappling hook, you must survive varieties of unpredictable, alien fungi, harvesting them for new upgrades to explore deeper into a cluster of vast asteroid settlements steeped with mysteries.

Players assume the role of Dalia, a field scientist belonging to an enigmatic order in pursuit of human immortality. Dispatched to the decimated colony on Saturn’s outer rings that was once her home, those she once knew are now dead, missing, or maybe even complicit. Dalia must find out the truth — and lay the dead to rest. 

Framed through a voice-over of an audio log Dalia uncovers, this story trailer gives players a glimpse at the unique narrative and tonal stage of Ambrosia Sky.

Key Features:

• Cleanse the Contamination. Ambrosia Sky’s unique gameplay blends FPS action with meditative cleaning. Cleanse alien fungus with your chemical sprayer, harvest its fruit, and upgrade your gear to survive the spreading crisis.
• Discover an Alien Ecosystem. Each species of alien fungus has unique behaviors and properties – some explode, others electrify, and some will even hunt you down.
• Research and Update Your Equipment. Craft new ammo types that mimic the abilities of fungus you encounter. Upgrade your sprayer’s efficiency, create new spray types, or enhance your tether to better navigate and explore the unstable gravity fields of the colony.
• Navigate Zero-G Environments. Traverse treacherous pockets of unstable gravity throughout the Cluster. Use your tether to grab objects, uncover hidden corners of the colony, and explore environments where unpredictable fluctuations in gravity can change direction and strength at any time.
• Lay the Dead to Rest. Seek out the tragic victims of the crisis and lay them to rest in poignant scenes that unravel the mystery of what happened and why.

Soft Rains is co-developing Ambrosia Sky with Blackbird Interactive, who further bolsters Soft Rains’ veteran team, empowering them to deliver a unique and evocative sci-fi adventure.

Ambrosia Sky is coming soon to PC. Play the demo now, available on Steam. For more information, visit Soft Rains’ official website.

Did you know that in the land of Ailur, cats can ride on dogs?

[Red Bank, New Jersey – September 17, 2025] — Astral Clocktower Studios, the studio behind the upcoming feline soulslike Kristala, just released the second installment of their developer diary series! This developer diary dives deep into the many ways you’ll traverse the land of Ailur, how playing as a feline warrior lends itself to unique traversal capabilities, and introduces players to hazards they may face while navigating the haunting land of Ailur.

Playing as a cat naturally comes with enhanced stealthlike abilities, as the developers at Astral Clocktower Studios wanted to replicate the cat’s natural agility and explosiveness. For example, because cats are known to always land on their feet, there is no fall damage in Kristala! However, because there is no fall damage, the developers are constantly challenged to design new threats to block the player’s path. Stealthily prowl across the world of Ailur by running across walls, tiptoeing on tightropes, and gliding between locations using pole swings. 

Beginning in 1.0, players will be able to embark on their journey with their trusty canine steed! With three starting steeds of different breed types available, players will be able to gallop across Tandar and explore freely alongside their canid companion.  

Learn more about the perilous traps you’ll encounter while you traverse Ailur, from bear traps to ballistas. Many different types of traps and obstacles were implemented following player feedback to amp up the difficulty levels, both in future areas, but also to give players a reason to return to early-game levels. While traps are mainly to be avoided, clever cats can conjure up ways to use traps to their advantage against enemies. 

Key Features:

• Challenging & Fast-paced Soulslike Combat – Master a precise and punishing combat system inspired by Sekiro and Dark Souls, with light/heavy attacks, perfect parries, well-timed dodges, and brutal aerial attacks and finishers.
• Agile Protagonists & Catlike Abilities – Play as a feline warrior from one of six clans, each master of a distinct magic specialty and lore-rich culture. These catlike characters allow for interesting traversal and stealth mechanics, which players can enhance further via the Feline Skill tree.
• Purr-sonalize your Cat – Create your feline warrior by choosing fur color, fur length, your clan, and your starting class. All of these choices will factor into building your unique playstyle. The paw-sibilities are endless!
• Comprehensive Magic System – Each clan specializes in an ancient/elemental magic, sourced by the Sacred Six Kristals. Unlock and level powerful spells and spell perks for each clan on a comprehensive, branching magic tree to customize your playstyle.
• Atmospheric, Story-Driven Worldbuilding – Immerse yourself in the mystical realm of Ailur, where ancient prophecies, cursed creatures, and lost civilizations weave a dark and emotional narrative. 

Ready to pounce into the grimdark world of Kristala? Wishlist the game and play the free demo now on Epic Games Store and Steam, or dive deeper with the Early Access version—available for purchase today.

Travel to The Mysterious Island of Awaji and Face a Ruthless New Faction

Sydney, Australia — September 17, 2025 — Today, Ubisoft launched Assassin’s Creed^® Shadows’ expansion, Claws of Awaji, available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation®5, macOS® the Epic Games Store, Steam and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, and Amazon Luna. The expansion is available for free for all players who pre-ordered the game, or for AU$37.95 as a standalone purchase, and is also included in the Ubisoft+ subscription*.

Developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux**, Claws of Awaji offers over 10 hours of new content, introducing a brand-new region and narrative that expands the story of Naoe and Yasuke. Set after the events of the base game, the expansion requires players to complete the main story before accessing its content.

The adventure begins when Naoe travels to Awaji on the trail of a mysterious shinobi. There, alongside Yasuke, she will confront the dangerous Sanzoku Ippa, a ruthless faction threatening the island’s peace. During their new voyage on the mysterious island of Awaji, players will discover vibrant cities and stunning maritime landscapes, but they will need to stay sharp as ambushes and traps soon make it clear that they are far from welcome on Awaji.

Claws of Awaji adds a plethora of new content to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, including new skills, weapon abilities, armor, and gear for both Naoe and Yasuke, all of which can carry over to the main game. These upgrades will give players the edge they need to take on Awaji’s deadliest foes, including new enemy types and uniquely challenging bosses.

At the expansion release, all Shadows players will be able to unlock a new weapon for Naoe, the Bo Staff, through a free quest. Agile and fast, the Bo is built for fluid combos and creative attacks, striking multiple enemies in quick succession. Claws of Awaji players will have access to Legendary Bo staves coming with unique engravings, only available on the Awaji Island.

The Claws of Awaji expansion comes after months of post launch support, with several features being added, such as the New Game+ or the new Nightmare difficulty mode. The latest update, released on September 11, introduced community-requested quality-of-life improvements, including the ability to fast-forward time and automatically clear the fog from a region’s map once all synchronization points have been completed.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation®5, macOS® the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, Amazon Luna and Ubisoft’s subscription service, Ubisoft+.*. For those new to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the game is now available for up to 40% off at the Ubisoft Store and other platforms.

With development led by Ubisoft Quebec **, Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers players a captivating journey through the turbulent era of feudal Japan. Step into the dual roles of Naoe, a stealthy shinobi Assassin, and Yasuke, a powerful samurai warrior, each with distinct playstyles and abilities. Experience dynamic combat with a variety of weapons, including the Katana, Naginata, and more, and master stealth tactics, infiltration, and open confrontation. Explore a richly detailed world shaped by political unrest, shifting alliances, and personal vendettas. Every decision, from combat to dialogue, can influence the fate of those around you and the legacy you leave behind.
