SEONGNAM, SOUTH KOREA, June 23, 2026 – Newcore Games (CEO Manjae Lee), the indie studio behind The Devil Within: SATGAT, today officially announced 7Trials, a top-down hack-and-slash action roguelite with online co-op for up to four players, inspired by Korean afterlife folklore. The announcement is accompanied by the release of an official teaser trailer and the launch of the Steam store page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/4192680/7_Trials/).
When School Becomes the Underworld
7Trials blends Korean traditional afterlife mythology with an urban-occult aesthetic, familiar, unsettling school corridors twisted into something unknown. In the world of the game, Seocheon Academy, South Korea’s most prestigious exam preparatory school, is consumed by a blinding white flash and transformed into a Fixed Realm, a place suspended between the living world and the afterlife.
Players take on the role of Yeoubi, a temporary Reaper contracted by Yeomra Solutions Inc., a corporate underworld agency. Over the course of 49 days, Yeoubi must survive seven trials, uncover the secrets buried within the academy, and release the obsessions that have trapped countless souls. The game’s visual identity, the dread of familiar spaces slowly distorting, layered over the strange beauty of Korean afterlife traditions, offers a world rarely seen in global gaming.
Beyond Simple Upgrades: Build Your Combat Style with 3 layer skill system.
7Trials is designed around fast, build-driven hack-and-slash combat. Players choose active combat skills (Spells), reshape them with modifiers (Offerings), and stack passive effects (Fate cards) that change how each run plays. The organic combination of all three layers produces thousands of possible builds, ensuring that every run delivers a completely different combat experience. When players with distinct builds join forces in co-op, synergies emerge that no solo run can replicate.
“We’re thrilled to finally share 7Trials with the world. With The Devil Within: SATGAT, we proved that Korean cultural material could resonate with a global audience. With 7Trials, we’ve gone deeper embedding Korea’s afterlife mythology into the action genre we know best. We hope the experience of forging your own combat style across 49 days of trials will feel genuinely fresh to players around the world.”
Manjae Lee, Game Director, Newcore Games

Choose your desired playstyle and raid to your heart’s content!

MULTIPLAYER DIESELPUNK ACTION: Every city looted, shipwreck scoured or encounter with fellow scavengers survived might just be your last, so keep your wits about you! Face mysterious supernatural forces, fight or talk your way out of confrontations with other players, successfully make it to your extraction point, and escape to the safety of the orbital station with your loot, life and Trampler intact.
BRAVE THE DUNES: Test your builds and scavenge items at your own pace in Voyage Mode, or raise the stakes with a shrinking map and escalating dangers in Storm Dive Modefor higher-tier loot and greater rewards.
PERSISTENT PROGRESS: Unlike traditional survival games, SAND eliminates the dreaded offline raid; your Trampler extracts with you at the end of each session. Build, fight, extract, repeat – without losing everything while you sleep!

Pick fruit, light fires, and drink alcohol in the Closed Beta Test, beginning next week
El Segundo, California — June 19, 2026 | Kakao Games and Ocean Drive Studio have released the third God Save Birmingham Developer Update video, which highlights many of the new features players will be able to experience during the upcoming Closed Beta Test that begins on 22 June.
Watch God Save Birmingham Dev Update 3 video below:
This new Developer Update video shows the many additions and improvements made to God Save Birmingham’s combat since February’s Closed Alpha Test. Attack animations are quicker, controls are more responsive, and enemies are a little more durable, leading to a more dynamic and challenging combat experience. Additionally, spears, one-handed swords and halberds have been added to the game — with more medieval melee tools planned for the future — and players can now shout at zombies to lure them in their direction for a fight.
A significant amount of survival-related content has been added to the game, too. Chickens are now available as livestock and will provide eggs at regular intervals, while fruits and vegetables can now be picked from garden plots or the nearby forest. Drinking water can be collected from the river flowing through town, however the poor quality can lead to an upset stomach. Various historically accurate medieval beverages have also been added to God Save Birmingham, such as ale. While alcohol can quench the player character’s thirst and reduce their mental stress, excessive consumption can result in intoxication, making survival more difficult.
Huge changes have been made to the weather system, with conditions heavily impacting a player’s chance of survival. For example, fog impairs the vision of zombies, aiding players looking to remain hidden, while colder temperatures that come with rain can negatively affect a player’s health. To warm up, players can light an indoor fire, but they must exercise caution: flames can now spread to wooden objects, and players can get burned if they get too close.
All this, plus numerous other additions, such as an improved Journal system to onboard new players, advancements to in-game physics, and an enhanced sleep system, are all detailed in the Dev Update 3 video.
“While the team would love to include and showcase more features in the game, we believe that making things well is more important than making a lot,” said production director Soonook Shin. “Therefore we intend to focus on creating a great game by continuously developing, testing and refining content.”
Players can register their interest in the God Save Birmingham Closed Beta Test, which begins on 22 June and ends on 29 June, by following the steps outlined on the game’s Steam page.

Heroes may fall, but the gate must stand in this Tower Defence/Survivors-like Roguelite
18th June 2026, Bristol UK – Develop: Star Awards nominees Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games are proud to announce the release of The Gate Must Stand – a dark fantasy action-strategy game about holding the line against impossible odds.
The Gate Must Stand blends clever systemic gameplay with a highly replayable run-based structure. Part tower defence, part Survivors-like but all-action roguelite, The Gate Must Stand sees players building defences, deploying troops, managing resources, and entering the battlefield themselves in order to keep the kingdom’s final gate intact for just one more night.
Each run allows players to recruit and upgrade heroes, construct defences, unlock powerful abilities and discover increasingly absurd synergies as enemy waves become larger, stranger and significantly more terrifying. Success depends not just on surviving, but on adapting, with players needing to balance short-term survival against longer-term strategy as the battlefield spirals into chaos.
Visually, the game combines a dark, fantasy atmosphere with huge on-screen battles and satisfying, chunky combat feedback, creating a constant sense of escalation as each run pushes players further towards inevitable catastrophe.
Set during the final defence of the Kingdom of Belrak, players are placed in command of a desperate fortress defence against endless waves of monsters, horrors and things with far too many teeth. Heroes can fall. Entire squads can be wiped out. Carefully laid plans can collapse into panic and fire. But the gate must stand.
The Gate Must Stand launches with:
4 Heroes, each with their own unique playstyle
149 Hero Skills
19 Base Followers
38 Ultimate forms
150 Follower Skills
3 Stages
6 Maps
5 Difficulty Levels
13 Bosses
10 Elite Enemies
46 Advanced Skill Options
53 Game-Altering Relics
The Gate Must Stand is the third co-published title between Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games. It is out now on PC via Steam for $9.99 with a 30% discount for launch. Visit the Steam page to check out how you can purchase The Gate Must Stand in a Bundle Deal here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3975750/The_Gate_Must_Stand/

Shanghai, China – 22nd June: The beloved fantasy franchise Guild Wars expands into new territory with the announcement of a brand new free-to-play digital collectible card game (CCG), Mistbound. Officially licensed by ArenaNet, developed by NC, and globally published by bilibili, Mistbound marks the first CCG spin-off set within the Guild Wars universe. Designed around new multi-directional card movement mechanics, Mistbound aims to bring new energy to the traditional CCG universe and honor the legacy of Guild Wars for players.
Mistbound is an all-new experience which bridges the gap between Guild Wars’ MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) legacy and the immensely popular deckbuilding strategy genre. Mistbound will draw upon the franchise’s deep lore, iconic characters, and beautiful art and music, while simultaneously introducing new strategic depth, and community-driven content in both single-player and multiplayer modes.
“We felt it was time to give Guild Wars fans a new way to play together, inspired by the card game roots of the franchise, where they could compete in a competitive PvP arena in a CCG game space. Having all those experiences they love of the characters and creatures and the sounds of the world of Tyria brought to life in CCG,” said Colin Johanson, Studio Head at ArenaNet.
In Mistbound, players will step into the boots of a commander, becoming one with the battlefield as they select cards to deploy onto a dynamic 5 x 3 tactical grid and crucially reposition them turn-by-turn in response to enemy movements. This feature dubbed ‘Dynamic Movement Gameplay’ allows each card to move in multiple directions per turn, ensuring exciting and unpredictable moment-to-moment gameplay.
“One challenge with pursuing deep strategic combinations in card games is that the cards themselves can easily become overly complex,” said Hwang Sunwoo, Producer of Mistbound at NC. “Rather than placing that complexity on individual cards, we wanted to express it through the battlefield. Our goal is to create a CCG that, over time, continues to offer more choices and gameplay possibilities, and one that players can enjoy for the long term.”
See more insights into Mistbound‘s development with the new interview trailer here:
“At first, the game is approachable. Placing units on a battlefield and engaging in combat is intuitive, allowing new players to learn quickly. But as you continue playing, you begin focusing on the significance of every turn and every decision. Eventually, you discover the satisfaction of reading and controlling the entire board,” said Baek Hakjun, Game Designer of Mistbound, better known as “Kranich,” a former professional Hearthstone player and World Championship competitor.
Please see a summary of Mistbound’s initial features below:
Dynamic movement-driven gameplay Unlike traditional static battlefield systems, Mistbound brings battles to life through a dynamic 5×3 tactical grid where both commanders and units can freely move, reposition, and outmaneuver opponents. This creates fast-paced, interactive matches that feel fresh, engaging, and full of tactical possibilities.
Deep yet accessible gameplay experience Mistbound’s movement system introduces exciting mechanics such as knockbacks, pulls, flanking opportunities, and shifting offense-defense positioning, adding meaningful strategic depth while remaining intuitive and easy to pick up. Commanders are no longer passive support characters standing in the backline, they actively join the fight as powerful playmakers capable of turning the tide of battle in dramatic ways.
Commander × Profession System Iconic Guild Wars characters step onto the battlefield as commanders, each bringing unique abilities, traits, and tactical identity. Drawing direct inspiration from Guild Wars 2’s long-standing nine professions, the system faithfully preserves the franchise’s signature combat styles while opening up new strategic combinations. By freely pairing commanders and professions, Mistbound unlocks rich tactical diversity and reinforces the series’ depth and class expression.
Signature Guild Wars Audiovisual Identity Mistbound continues the expressive fantasy visual legacy of the Guild Wars franchise. Beloved characters return with a refreshed presentation that blends epic scale with refined detail, delivering a visually rich experience that both honors the original aesthetic and reimagines it for a new strategic battlefield. Players are invited to rediscover the world of Guild Wars through a fresh yet familiar lens. With contributions from original music creators and character-driven voice performances, Mistbound delivers an immersive soundscape designed to evoke nostalgia while elevating emotional engagement for long-time fans and new players alike.
The collaboration between ArenaNet, NC and bilibili represents a meaningful new chapter in game development. ArenaNet’s vibrant IP legacy, combined with NC’s cutting-edge research and development capabilities, are now amplified by bilibili’s player-first philosophy and expertise in community engagement.
bilibili, often described as “the Chinese YouTube,” remains relatively unknown in the West but has consistently demonstrated global distribution dedication, bringing hits like the recent Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade to audiences worldwide. In China’s entertainment ecosystem, bilibili stands as a true powerhouse in content creation and gaming communities. With 107 million daily active users boasting over 80% yearly retention, bilibili sets a benchmark for other major online video networks with its loyal and high-quality audience. bilibili is supported by more than 1.5 million professional content creators and a robust content ecosystem of 7,000+ interest groups, where gaming content dominates through livestreams, reviews, tutorials, and esports coverage, delivering unparalleled feedback driven insights.
For Mistbound, this means development is guided not only by proven technical capability but also by direct, high-quality player input, particularly critical in the CCG space where meta evolution, community-driven events, and content creation shape a sustainable and engaging card game experience for players.

Thrown into the prison colony with only the rags on our backs and a bit of advice, we must survive our trek to Old Camp and prove our salt if we want to join the group, or perhaps the other two major camps, all while traveling the world and dying, a lot, in THQ Nordic’s Gothic Remake.
Gothic 1 Remake – Gameplay
Gothic 1 Remake reimagines the cult-classic RPG with modern visuals, enhanced combat, and expanded world-building while staying faithful to the dark atmosphere and freedom that made the original so beloved. Players enter the brutal mining colony of Khorinis, a lawless prison surrounded by a magical barrier where criminals, mercenaries, and fanatics battle for survival. As an unnamed prisoner thrown into this harsh world, every choice you make influences your alliances, reputation, and path through a deeply reactive narrative filled with danger and political tension.
The remake modernises exploration and combat while preserving the original’s immersive RPG systems and unforgiving world design. Players can join rival factions, master melee and ranged combat, develop magical abilities, and uncover hidden secrets scattered throughout the colony. With improved visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, expanded character interactions, and a richer recreation of the iconic setting, Gothic 1 Remake delivers a modern take on one of the most influential RPGs of its era.
