Co-op Roguelite Shooter SWAPMEAT Enters Final Global Meat Lab Playtest Sept. 4-9; Sets Sights on Early Access in Oct. 2025

Participate in the Final Phase of Meat-swapping Research and Earn the Exclusive Meat Scientist Cosmetic Set 

Independent developer One More Game today announced that SWAPMEAT, the co-op roguelite third-person shooter where you swap body parts with the alien weirdos you fight to steal their abilities, will enter Early Access for PC and macOS via Steam in October 2025. Join the ranks of Rangus Meats™ for one last run in Meat Lab 7 – THE FINAL GLOBAL MEAT LAB PLAYTEST – from Sept. 4 at 10 a.m. PT through Sept. 9 at 5 p.m. PT. As a special incentive for gold star employees, Rangus management has rolled out an exciting new reward – the exclusive Meat Scientist Cosmetic Set, available only to those who have participated in any of the Meat Lab playtests prior to Early Access.

Every body part you swap brings Rangus Meats™ one step closer to a better tomorrow — or at least a weirder one. Sign up for Meat Lab 7 now at playSWAPMEAT.com, and those who refer three friends will get guaranteed access for their entire squad (while supplies last). Participants will have exclusive access to the latest updates, which reflect the delightfully squishy – and surprisingly deep – meat-swapping gameplay mechanics. Aspiring Meat Scientists can add SWAPMEAT to their Steam Wishlist now.

This final global playtest aims to enhance the overall player experience through changes to meta-progression, the multiplayer respawn system, Hunters, and more. Meat Lab 7 delivers fresh features, experimental weapons, and unethical research:

  • Improved Meta-Progression Systems
  • Meta-progression for weapon and upgrade systems has been reworked with more flair than ever before, now with 27 pieces to unlock and fine-tune the perfect loadout.
  • Smooth Multiplayer Experience and Hangry Hunters
  • Since being a Meat Scientist is HARD… and they tend to die, ALOT, respawns for multiplayer have been reworked and respawn tokens will now behave differently – if you are the first player to die and you have no respawn tokens, your run is over – if you are not the last player to die and you are out of tokens, you can respawn at the expense of a shortened Hunter delay.
  • Players will now respawn at a dedicated Respawn Beacon, which can be activated by completing prime directives and or starting the harvester. These Respawn Beacons will allow players to resurrect in a safer location, away from the Hunters and mobs of alien enemies. But be warned, players can’t respawn if the Hunters are enraged.
  • Hunters are now dialed back and are easier to deal with when they are not enraged. But whatever you do, don’t make them angry – you won’t like them when they are angry!
  • Miscellaneous Updates Galore
  • Players can now rebind control inputs for even greater agency and deeper customization.
  • Solar System 2 has received a new coat of polish to its environments and improvements to its events.
  • Rangus Meats™ Worldwide – the UI is now localized, and localization for LATAM communities such as Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese has been improved.
  • Even more balancing and bug fixes to enhance the overall experience.

For the full Meat Lab 7 update, check out the official patch notes on Discord.

This final global playtest further improves and enhances SWAPMEAT’s offerings and experience for its community of Taste Buds, as One More Game is committed to creating a game that iterates and addresses the feedback of its players. With each playtest comes great insight and new learnings that help to make the game one step closer to getting served up for release.

Join the One More Game team on Twitch for a special live developer stream showcasing the beefy new content in Meat Lab 7 on Friday, Sept. 5, starting at 4 p.m. PT.

About SWAPMEAT:

In SWAPMEAT, players step into the boots of Meat Scientists working for the multi-galactic corporation Rangus Meats™. Your mission? Raid the weirdest worlds in the cosmos, engage in exhilarating third-person combat, harvest DNA samples from the locals, and extract the planets’ meat cores. Whether solo or with a four-player co-op squad, you’ll battle alien weirdos and beefy bosses for their meaty trophies. As you loot body parts – from heads and legs to torsos – you’ll enhance your character with game-changing abilities, switching up playstyles on the fly using Rangus Meats’ patented Smart Meat technology.

Find out more about SWAPMEAT and sign up for the final global Meat Lab on the game’s official website, join the discussion on Discord, and follow the game on BlueSky, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Celebrate a decade of naval domination in World of Warships’ 10th anniversary update

Players can celebrate the decade milestone with plenty of daily rewards, a new Blast from the Past game mode, and experience the evolution of World of Warships through a special decade dock port

September 3rd, 2025 – Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading historically accurate naval multiplayer game World of Warships, is celebrating ten years on the high seas. To celebrate the last decade of naval warfare, September’s update is packed with content, offering plenty of free rewards including Supercontainers and ships, the arrival of a new Easter Egg filled port, and the addition of German Cruisers into Early Access. Rounding out the festivities, the update also brings a classic Blast from the Past game mode that immerses players throughout different eras of the game, and new seasons of Clan and Ranked battles.

Celebrating 10 years with a wave of anniversary content

Over the last decade, World of Warships has continued to grow its global playerbase, delivering over 800 historically accurate ships to take into battle, and amassing over 1.2 billion hours of playtime. Beyond the game, World of Warships has worked to support a variety of charities, including Save the Children and Help for Heroes, working with the community to raise over $240,000, and to push initiatives such as Longest Night of Museums – World of Warships’s annual livestream dedicated to educating viewers about naval museums around the globe.

To celebrate the milestone anniversary, World of Warships is ushering in a month packed with free ships, bonuses and more. By logging in each day, players can earn rewards on the Daily Login Calendar, which include Supercontainers, Coal, Credits, free experience, days of Premium Account access, and Festive Tokens. Also available through Battle Performance Bonuses, these Tokens can be redeemed in the Armory for up to 130 Supercontainers; including “Finest Hour”, “Resolute and Rapid”, “The Age of Sa Zhenbing” or “Battle of Paso De Patria” Containers; plus an array of ships, including Tier X Japanese Premium heavy cruiser Kushiro.

The festivities continue with a huge array of free Containers, each bringing a variety of rare ships. Amongst these are a special 10th Anniversary Gift Container, which guarantees a Tier VI ship, and a Premium Ship VII Container, which can be earned through the 10th anniversary Event Pass. Long time players can also look forward to additional Containers, including a Premium Ship VIII Elite Container for players with over five years and 25 battles under their belt, and a Premium Ship X Elite Container for those who have been with the game for the last decade.

Experience a Blast from the Past in a new limited-time game mode and Port

For the 10th anniversary, World of Warships is also bringing in a new limited-time game mode for players to test their mettle. Blast from the Past takes players down memory lane, as it removes aircraft carriers and submarines to offer players the original World of Warships experience, as it was at launch a decade ago. Structured across six chapters, each phase offers an insight into the history of World of Warships, restricting gameplay, ships, and maps to those only seen during that era. The final chapter brings it all together, with a new set of restrictions for players to overcome.

A brand-new nostalgic Decade Dock Port also arrives, bringing ten years’ worth of Easter Eggs to find, and a journal detailing the game’s history over the past decade. A new version of the Update Navigator in the Port will also share the latest news and features, whilst offering players the opportunity to view a personalised Career Report, breaking down their stats across battles and time played.

A new line of German Cruisers dock into Early Access

World of Warships’ 10th anniversary update also sees the arrival of new German Cruisers in Early Access, including Tier VI heavy cruiser Deutschland, Tier VII heavy cruiser Admiral Scheer, Tier VIII heavy cruiser Knesebeck, Tier IX heavy cruiser Manteuffel, and Tier X heavy cruiser Prinz Adalbert. In addition to these vessels, Knesebeck, Manteuffel, and Prinz Adalbert will also receive three permanent camouflages to celebrate their arrival.

Each of these German vessels specialises in close-quarters combat, using their large main battery guns to inflict heavy damage. While their accuracy is optimised for close-range combat, they come equipped with improved Secondary Batteries that you can take active control of to make up for their short range. As is typical with German ships, they are also bundled with Improved Hydroacoustic Search and high defense, making these powerful adversaries on the high seas.

Closing out the update, World of Warships will see the continuation of the “In the Name of Tomorrow” campaign, the return of Asymmetric Battles, a Module Damage Rework, Submarines arriving in Operations, and new seasons of Clan and Ranked Battles.

The game will launch globally on 29 September 2025 on Steam, accompanied by a new trailer that reveals the date and showcases its tense, procedural survival gameplay.

Set inside a collapsing time rift, Macabre pits players against an adaptive interdimensional terror that learns from their actions.

Procedural maps, shifting objectives, and high-stakes co-operative extraction ensure replayability, tension, and betrayal at every turn.

Early Access features include:

We will expand with new maps, monsters, and mechanics guided by community feedback,” said Jake Davey, Game Director at Weforge Studio.

“This is the moment we have been working toward for more than four years. From late-night prototypes to a Kickstarter campaign that changed our lives, Macabre is finally stepping into the hands of players worldwide. Early Access gives us the runway to keep building, testing, and evolving the game with our community,” said Jay Topping, Creative Director at Weforge Studio.
The new Launch Trailer is available now and confirms Macabre’s Early Access release on 29 September 2025. Wishlist on Steam to be notified the moment it goes live.
