CULTIC’s “2.0” Update also lands on Sept. 18, applying Chapter Two’s improved performance, visuals, and combat to Chapter One retroactively, free to all owners of the game!

KANSAS – Sept. 3, 2025 -The “Overwhelmingly Positive” retro horror-shooter CULTIC, developed by Jasozz Games and published by Saber Interactive’s 3D Realms label, will launch its Chapter Two DLC on September 18, 2025, at 1PM EDT / 10AM PDT. It will be available on Steam as a DLC for CULTIC for $9.99.

Awakening in the cold, dark morgue beneath the besieged police station, you find yourself in the middle of a cult-controlled New Grandewel, with corpses littering the streets, flames billowing from the windows of torched buildings, and cultists infesting every inch of the city you once protected. Fight your way through all-new maps in CULTIC: Chapter Two – a full expansion campaign boasting larger, more detailed maps, new weapons and enemies, and more secrets and surprises to discover.

Chapter Two continues and concludes the story from Chapter One, and players can expect more of CULTIC’s intense, gritty, open-ended combat, enhanced with new mechanics and refinements. CULTIC’s signature weapon arsenal returns, with the inclusion of Interlude’s Revolver and SASG which players can freely alternate with the lever-action and sawed-off. The revamped Dodge system, along with the new Tackle mechanic, will allow players to get up close and play aggressively, quickly zipping out of harm’s way or using that burst of speed to slam into enemies, stunning them, and interrupting their attacks to give some breathing room to reload and strike back. 

Players will also be able to utilize new “temporary weapons” such as the mounted machinegun and bazooka to dish out massive damage, adding to the roster of ways the player can weaponize the environment against their foes. Tower Shields have also received a significant overhaul, allowing them to be carried around the map much more easily, planted in the ground for temporary cover, used to run-and-gun with one-handed weapons, or launched into an enemy’s face with a well-timed kick or tackle.

To give players even more ways to enjoy these combat enhancements, Chapter Two will include three new Survival Maps as well, featuring some of the best arenas from the new chapter to test your skills and fight against waves of enemies, including the new additions to the cult’s roster!

On top of these gameplay improvements, CULTIC has received a significant amount of optimizations, which not only allows for even larger, more densely populated maps with more detailed lighting, but improved performance for existing maps as well. These adjustments will all be retroactive to Chapter One, as CULTIC will receive a large “2.0” patch alongside the launch of Chapter Two, allowing all CULTIC players to enjoy these optimizations and gameplay updates even if they haven’t picked up the DLC yet. Chapter One has also received a full polishing pass, fixing up some outstanding bugs and issues, as well as overhauling some of the visuals and decor on the maps.

You can wishlist the new DLC on Steam now and be ready to finish the fight when Chapter Two of CULTIC launches on September 18!

The Krasue has Been Unleashed

MONTRÉAL – Sept. 3, 2025 – Dead by Daylight returns with a new original Chapter, Sinister Grace, drawing from Thai folklore. Featuring a new Killer, The Krasue, and new Survivor Vee Boonyasak, this release offers a gruesome look into a haunting corner of the horror world. Music plays an equally integral role in shaping this Chapter’s lore, with both characters holding a deep passion for their respective genres.

With six unique character Perks that bolster a variety of different playstyles, including the first Hex Perk since Dead by Daylight: Castlevania, Sinister Grace has plenty to offer Killer and Survivor players alike.

Thai Folk Horror

While Dead by Daylight has brought many iconic licenses into The Fog, original Chapters hold a special significance for the team. It’s a chance to explore the vast horror spectrum and delve into a different subgenre, with Sinister Grace marking a foray into folk horror – specifically Thai folk horror.

The Krasue is one of the most fearsome figures in Thai culture, with its disturbing origin and grotesque appearance. Blending the supernatural with gnarly body horror, The Krasue is easily one of Dead by Daylight’s most visually disturbing characters to date.

“When we set out to make this Chapter, we wanted to deliver something for the gore fans out there,” explains Dave Richard, Dead by Daylight’s Creative Director. “The Krasue’s transformation really leans into that, her body rips and peels open like a blister under pressure.”

“There’s a cool juxtaposition going on,” continues Richard. “You have this opera singer with an incredibly beautiful voice and a graceful presence transforming into an unsettling creature straight out of a nightmare. Guts and organs hanging out, blood dripping all over. It doesn’t get better than this.”

What is a Krasue?

A Krasue is a creature that manifests as a floating head, typically favoring the appearance of an alluring young woman. It can float through the air, dragging its entrails around like macabre balloon strings. Fueled by insatiable hunger, it sheds the body it inhabits and spends the night hunting.

In Dead by Daylight, The Krasue is Burong Sukapat. Once a promising opera singer, her voice was rivalled only by her beauty. When a mysterious offer was made, she greedily accepted, inviting a presence to inhabit her body in exchange for the fame she sought.

And so the Krasue’s curse began…

Playing As The Krasue

Playing as The Krasue will allow players to alternate between two forms – body and head – with each one offering a different approach to the hunt. While traversing as a floating head, The Krasue has increased speed and a deadly melee attack – the aptly named Intestinal Whip. And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.

On foot, The Krasue can spit the Leeching Gland, a projectile that infects Survivors, rendering them more susceptible to your attacks. This push-and-pull grants players freedom to alternate at their pleasure, offering a high skill ceiling to those dedicated enough to master her kit.

Vee Boonyasak

“Faulty amps, sweaty dives, broken-down vans… nothing makes you feel more alive.”

The beating heart of Axekick, drummer Vee Boonyasak knows what it’s like to bleed for her art. She also knows a thing or two about roughing it on the road, having traveled across Thailand in the tried-and-true van. Sure, being swept into The Fog wasn’t exactly good for the band. On the other hands, their streaming numbers have never been higher…

Joining the ever-growing roster of musicians in The Fog, Vee’s infectious attitude, up-tempo pace, and kinetic energy bring a new dynamic to every Trial. Boasting Perks and a playstyle fueled by the spirit of rock and roll, her addition to the game marks a jolt of energy that only a killer drum solo can provide.

“We love bringing musicians into The Fog,” says Richard. “At this point, we’re almost able to fill an entire band. Vee is extra special to me because I’m also a drummer, so it’s been fun telling her story and seeing the unique energy she brings to the Dead by Daylight universe.”

Dead by Daylight:Sinister Grace is now available to play on PTB, with the full Chapter release in September 2025.

What Happened Here? The End Has Come — but the Story is Just Beginning. Cronos: The New Dawn is Now Available in Early Access on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A New Era of Survival Horror Awaits. The Vocation Must Go On.

A Bold New Chapter in Survival Horror

From the acclaimed developers of the SILENT HILL 2 remake, Bloober Team presents Cronos: The New Dawn — a third-person survival horror experience like no other. Set in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, a world inspired by Nowa Huta, a real historical district in Kraków, Poland, the game unfolds across two timelines: a post-apocalyptic future decaying in despair, and the gritty, industrial 1980s reality. This powerful duality blends retro realism, dystopian sci-fi, and a retro-futuristic atmosphere to create a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and terror.

Early Access Begins — Step into the Ruins

Bloober Team invites players to descend into the unforgiving world of New Dawn with the launch of early access today for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Step into the hunting suit of The Traveler — an enigmatic agent of the Collective, sent into zones scarred by the Change, a cataclysmic event that shattered time, memory, and flesh. What remains is a world suspended between past and future — haunted, hostile, and unravelling. Survival is anything but certain.

Cross-Platform Digital Launch Sept. 5 with Physical Editions Coming Soon

The game will officially launch digitally across all platforms, including the Nintendo Switch 2 system, on Sept. 5 at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET / 4 p.m. CEST. The Digital Deluxe Edition ($69.99), now available for preorder (Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S), provides 48-hour early access. This means that if you preorder the Deluxe Edition today, Sept. 3, you can start playing Cronos right away. It includes everything from the Digital Standard Edition plus additional: 

• Bonus resources: handgun ammo, shotgun shells, energy packs

• Three exclusive Traveler skins • Digital artbook and official soundtrack 

Physical Editions ($59.99) for both PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, produced in partnership with Americas physical distributor Skybound Games, are also now available for pre-order at select retailers including GameStop and Amazon. In addition to physical copies of the standard base game, these will include a unique Traveler skin and access to a cache of valuable digital supplies, along with a set of collectible physical stickers inspired by Cronos’ haunting world. In the Americas, the PlayStation 5 Physical Edition will be available Sept. 19 and the Nintendo Switch 2 Physical Edition will be available on Oct. 21. 

The newly revealed launch trailer offers a chilling, final glimpse into never-before-seen locations, grotesque new enemies, and the escalating horrors awaiting players in the shadows.

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.

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.
