About Abyssus

Step into the role of a Brinehunter in either solo or co-op and traverse via submarine to the ocean floor to investigate a powerful electromagnetic source. Arriving at the source to discover an ancient, sunken city of a long-forgotten civilization, you’re thrust into the fast-paced FPS action of Abyssus as you’ll face corrupted, lethal swarms of enemies armed to the gills with powerful weapons made of ancient tech utilizing the power of brine. Stranded, the only way through is deeper down…  

Blast into this chaotic underwater world to harness new weaponry, upgrades and mods to create the loadout of your dreams. Pierce through enemies using the literal power of energy with satisfying guns like the plasma launcher, one of eight customizable weapons, and choose whether you want powerful, grenade-like strikes or rapid fire, revolver-style shots. With a whopping 48 weapon mods, there’s plenty of variety to sink your fins into – no two loadouts feel the same.

No two runs are the same, either, as Abyssus was designed with a heavy focus on replayability: the game features strategic randomness with 150+ blessings to amp your abilities, increase your damage and more. Abyssus also hosts 40 equippable charms and 124 forge mods, allowing you to enhance equipped abilities and weapons.

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE – Gameplay

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE resurrects one of the most terrifying entries in Japanese survival horror, fully rebuilt for modern platforms while preserving the haunting atmosphere that made the original a genre classic. Players follow twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura, who become trapped within the cursed Minakami Village — a forgotten settlement haunted by restless spirits and a ritual gone horribly wrong. Armed only with the supernatural Camera Obscura, players must confront ghosts by capturing them through the lens, turning fear itself into their only weapon.

Exploration, puzzle solving, and resource management remain central as players uncover tragic stories hidden throughout the village. With expanded story elements and improved mechanics, Crimson Butterfly REMAKE delivers a chilling blend of beauty and terror that reintroduces a legendary horror experience to a new generation.

One year,” said solo developer YuWave. “I’ve worked hard to do the art, coding, design, and everything else myself!

You can light enemies on fire or freeze them in ice. You can even change weather patterns into fog, rain, or snow. The more you play, the more uses for magic you’ll discover. Honestly, we can’t wait to see what people do with it.”

Firefighters Social Deduction Game, OCTOPinbs, Revealed

Soak Scorching Saboteurs on PC Q2 2026

TOKYO – March 9, 2026 – OCTOPinbs, a firefighting social deception game is revealed by co-developers tri-Ace, Lasengle, Inc., and publisher Aniplex, ahead of heating up PC via Steam in Q2 2026, as revealed during The MIX today. No time for mind games, THERE’S A FIRE! Dive straight into a burning building with three to ten brave, octopus firefighters, and douse burning buildings before they burn to ashes.

Amidst the crew of tentacled heroes is a secret squid Artist — a sneaky arsonist who ignites flames purely for the aesthetics. Peek into adjacent rooms to catch them in the act, then send them to the Octojar to reveal their identity. However, beware of the boldest Artists who trade disguise for damage, turning a hide-and-seek hunt into a flame-engulfing PvP showdown.

Extinguish infernos to claim victory for the firefighters, or burn it all down to win as the Artist. If the Artist is exposed,  the battle continues until time runs out. The more the Fire Gauge builds while disguised, the stronger the Artist’s attacks become once revealed, so choose the right moment to wreak havoc!

“Social deduction games require strong communication skills and drawn out discussions, but the action-oriented approach to OCTOPinbs makes it truly differentiated and easy for everyone to enjoy its simple formula,” said Aniplex. “Trying to maintain focus amidst the chaos makes every match a special experience, and we have many more gameplay details to share before launch. Stay tuned for more!”

Check out the official trailer, which premiered during The MIX Spring Game Showcase, here! OCTOPinbs will be available on PC via Steam in Spring 2026, with language support in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Portuguese, German, Korean, Spanish, and French.
