Shanghai, China – August 14th, 2026 – YHKT ENTERTAINMENT has unveiled Bringer, a new narrative-driven fantasy action RPG coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and mobile. Revealed today alongside its debut trailer, Bringer will make its first public playable appearance at Gamescom 2026, where attendees can go hands-on with an early demo at Hall 10.1, Booth E053. Set in an original fantasy world shaped by ancient civilisations, colossal living creatures and buried secrets, Bringer combines fast-paced real-time combat and exploration with cinematic storytelling.

Bringer is a 3D action RPG built around an expansive, story-driven fantasy adventure. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game combines cinematic direction, expressive character performances, and meaningful player agency to deliver storytelling that extends beyond traditional pre-rendered cutscenes. Through exploration, combat, and interactive sequences, players will gradually be drawn into this fantasy world and experience the story firsthand rather than simply watch it unfold.

In the world of Bringer, players will embark on an adventure shaped by clashes between civilizations, colossal lifeforms, and an uncertain fate. The story unfolds in a distinctive world defined by the “Thalassa” and colossal creatures known as “Arkiloth.” Playing as a traveler harboring a hidden secret, players will navigate competing factions and ancient mysteries, gradually uncovering the truths buried deep within the world.

At the heart of Bringer is an experience that combines fast-paced action combat with narrative-driven exploration. During combat, players can seamlessly switch between party members in real time, use different weapon modules, and engage in high-intensity encounters. Mechanics such as parries, dodges, and finishers add tactical depth while making every encounter feel responsive and impactful. Meanwhile, story sequences, exploration stages, and combat encounters are tightly integrated, allowing players to remain immersed in the world as the narrative progresses.

The Gamescom 2026 playable demo will showcase real-time gameplay from Bringer, offering international audiences their first opportunity to experience the game’s responsive combat, visual presentation, and cinematic storytelling. Further details, new videos, and development updates will be shared through the game’s official channels.

The game features a distinct dual-layered gameplay loop:

• Dangerous Below: Take the helm of your submarine and plunge into the ocean abyss. Navigate uncharted trenches, vibrant coral reefs, and sunken pirate shipwrecks as you battle and capture bizarre mutant creatures. Uncover hidden artifact stones and haul back rare materials to craft specialized sub upgrades, gear, and advanced machinery.
• Cozy Above: Return to the surface to catch your breath, build, and unwind. Befriend eccentric island locals and take on quests to help restore their true selves, strategically manage your resources, and expand your tropical outpost into a thriving hub designed to power your next dive deep into the unknown.

ABOUT NAUTUS

From the indie studio behind Have a Nice Death and Unruly Heroes comes NAUTUS, a charmingly quirky island adventure where the surface is your cozy sanctuary, but the ocean floor is a whole different beast. After getting an unsettling radio message from your uncle, you’ll go out on an adventure where you arrive at the remote N.A.U.T.U.S. research station only to find the local scientists have lost their memories and developed a paralyzing phobia of the ocean. As the only one brave enough to face the deep, you must take the helm of an upgradable submarine, encounter and, at times, fight off mutant creatures and recover hidden, mysterious artifact stones to restore the inhabitants’ memories and uncover the truth.

Between riveting yet fascinating expeditions into the underwater abyss below, you’ll return to the vibrant surface to catch your breath, befriend quirky scientists, and manage your resources. Blending exploration, action, and deep crafting, you’ll gather materials to upgrade your submarine and gear so you can plunge even deeper into the unknown—with the option to develop on the island to customize your home base over time.  Take on this charmingly quirky journey solo, or team up with up to three friends in online co-op. Prepare to enter a dual-layered world that is full of adventure, mystery and wonder!

Game Features

• Adventure Solo or Dive into Online Co-Op Multiplayer: Uncover the mystery of NAUTUS and brave the ocean depths entirely on your own, or team up with up to three players in four-player online co-op and dive into this offbeat adventure together.
• Meet, Befriend and Uncover the Mysteries of a Quirky Cast of Inhabitants: Meet eccentric, amnesiac locals like a tanning-obsessed diver and a quirky expedition chief. Collaborate with them on unique and useful projects and recover lost artifact stones to cure their bizarre phobia of the ocean and restore them to their true selves.
• Solve a Sunken Mystery: Investigate the sudden disappearance of your uncle, Bernard Torpedo, by hunting for ancient relics, hidden clues, and secrets buried in the abyss. Will you uncover the mysteries of your uncle and this mysterious island?
• Develop and Customize a Unique Outpost: Transform a secluded tropical outpost into a thriving home base of your own. Set up vital crafting machinery to refine rare materials gathered from the deep, manage your resources strategically, and build the essential infrastructure needed to fuel your next sub-aquatic expedition.

The major upgrade, including a new version of the engine, a graphical overhaul, and more, comes free for every owner of the game.

KYIV, UKRAINE — August 14, 2026 – GSC Game World is thrilled to announce that Update 2.0 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is launching on August 20, featuring a new version of the engine, a graphic overhaul, three types of binoculars, and much more.

Here’s what all owners of the game are getting for free:

Visual Evolution

Update 2.0 overhauls the Zone’s lighting and visuals:

• Improved lighting. Players can expect a more natural and immersive look with more realistic shadows and reflections across the environment, both inside buildings and in underground locations.
• Reworked landscapes and foliage to make the Zone feel more organic.

A-Life Improvements

A-Life now brings more believable activity and encounters to the Zone:

• More contested points of interest, including campfires, bus stops, and other locations where stalkers and mutants can cross paths.
• Numerous under-the-hood fixes address issues such as enemies shooting or throwing objects through walls and unexpected overpopulation in certain areas.

Customizable Experience

Update 2.0 introduces Custom Rules, allowing players to tailor the difficulty to their preferred playstyle. Adjust individual settings to create anything from a more forgiving survival experience to a truly hardcore challenge.

Players looking for an even tougher experience can also try Master difficulty and the optional Expedition mode, previously introduced in earlier updates.

Binoculars

Three types of binoculars are now available to help stalkers scout the Zone, identify targets, and plan their next move. Each model features different technology and functionality — find them throughout the Zone or purchase them from certain traders.

New Weapons and Scopes

Update 2.0 expands the arsenal with four new weapons:

• Arev — assault rifle.
• GP3A — designated marksman rifle.
• SKP — designated marksman rifle.
• Fora-230 — submachine gun.

A unique variant of one of these weapons can also be discovered somewhere in the Zone.

The update also adds new optics, including a x3 scope for Western-bloc weapons and a new red dot sight for Eastern-bloc weapons. Offset aiming has also been expanded beyond NVG use, giving stalkers more freedom to customize their loadouts.

In addition to that:

– Fog is now more than a weather effect — it is a gameplay mechanic. Both stalkers and their enemies have reduced visibility and hearing. The Light Rainy weather scenario has also received a visual overhaul to complement the updated environmental presentation.

– A new Statistics page has been added to the PDA, allowing stalkers to track their activity across the Zone.

– Bloodsuckers and Fleshes can now feature different appearances depending on their habitat, making encounters with these familiar threats more varied across the Zone.

Since the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, the Zone has continued to evolve alongside the community. Update 2.0 brings together years of feedback, technical improvements, and new ideas to make the Zone a better, stranger, and more immersive place.

On the same day — August 20 — the first major expansion for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, titled Cost of Hope, launches. This expansion explores the long-running conflict between the well-known factions Duty and Freedom. Players can look forward to numerous hours exploring new locations, including the Iron Forest, CNPP, and Spatial Bubble, while experiencing the iconic atmosphere of the Zone. Upon release, it will be available as part of the Ultimate Edition of the base game, or as a standalone purchase for 29.99 USD/EUR (subject to regional pricing).

Celebrating the upcoming release of Cost of Hope, GSC has also launched a dedicated website where players can vote for their faction of choice. By taking a quick quiz, you can find out which side of the conflict you belong to, cast your vote, and compete for a selection of highly limited and exclusive S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-themed prizes.

Free Content Update Features:

• A new Tech Tree, replacing the old level system
• Upgrades: one-time upgrades for the container capacity of trucks, trains, and drones, or to make your depots float on water, plus repeatable upgrades to increase vehicle and drone speed as well as extraction efficiency
• New vehicles: early-game small ships and late-game airships

• Sea plants and plankton that follow water currents
• Water farms to produce additional food
• Rockets to launch shades and mirror satellites, and bring back ice comets
