Open the Genesis Configuration and wield the might of Hell
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – May 20, 2026 – From the beginning of the Hellraiser saga, fans have come to fear the Lament Configuration: the legendary puzzle box that summons Hell’s demonic beings of torment: Pinhead and the Cenobites. But in today’s new gameplay trailer for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, the survival-horror action game coming this year to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam from Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games, you’ll witness the awesome power of a totally new box that’s yours to command: the Genesis Configuration!
The Genesis Configuration is a mighty tool for both combat and puzzles in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival. Outside of combat, players can use the Genesis Configuration to transform parts of the Labyrinth to open paths forward. Manipulating the box will also be invaluable for solving puzzles in the world of mortals.
But the full power of the Genesis Configuration comes alive in combat. Banish your enemies with gruesome executions to gather their Suffering and unleash a variety of abilities with the Genesis Configuration. Use Telekinesis to launch saw blades, rail spikes and more at enemies to maim and dismember them. Wield Pyrokinesis to absorb incandescent fire to burn away foes and the environment. And summon forth the iconic Hell Chains to tear your opponents apart without mercy.
You’ll need these dark gifts to survive the battle against Hell’s armies that awaits in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival! Descend into the darkest depths of the underworld to rescue your love from the depraved clutches of the Cenobites in a terrifying new story in the Hellraiser universe.

Developed by TT Games, creators of the best-selling LEGO games series, including the critically acclaimed LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and published by Warner Bros. Games, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight features an original story that blends together iconic moments from across the Caped Crusader’s history in film, television, comic books, and games in a unique way, combined with countless DC references and fun-filled LEGO humour.
Introducing a new LEGO Batman combat system, expansive open world Gotham City, customizable Batcave, and much more, players can step into the role of Batman and journey on a heroic campaign from origin to legend, while building a family of crime-fighting allies to take on the most notorious DC Super-Villains in the ultimate LEGO Batman experience.
“We are so excited to launch LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, bringing iconic storytelling, inventive gameplay, and unmistakable humour together in an amazing game,” said JB Perrette, CEO and President, Global Streaming & Games, Warner Bros. Discovery. “The incredibly talented team at TT Games have delivered a standout experience that truly honours Batman’s legacy.

The team has delivered rich gameplay, terrific action, and an open-world Gotham City playground that’s nothing less than stunning.”
“LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a celebration of everything fans love about the Caped Crusader.

Throughout the story-led campaign, as Batman, players will partner with Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul to help confront an ever-growing threat from The Joker, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, Firefly, Ra’s al Ghul, Bane, and others.
With the new LEGO Batman combat system, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight delivers an authentic expression of Batman’s fighting style with fluid attack chains, over-the-top takedowns, and powerful gadgets.

There are varied districts spanning across four densely populated islands, reaching both vertically into the sky and underground. Players can zip from building to building using the Grapple Launcher, soar and glide over the city, or cruise around in style with a range of Batmobiles and Batcycles, while also visiting familiar locations such as Ace Chemicals, Gotham Botanical Gardens, Wayne Tower, and Arkham Asylum.
In LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the legendary Batcave, located beneath Wayne Manor, has been delightfully reimagined and serves as Batman’s central hub of operations, expanding and evolving as players progress through the campaign. The underground headquarters houses an array of wearable suits celebrating the storied history of the Dark Knight, with 100 different outfits for playable characters, and functions as the ultimate garage for Batman’s impressive lineup of Batmobiles, Batcycles, and other vehicles, all faithfully recreated in LEGO brick form. In addition, players can upgrade gadgets, display trophies, review case files via the Batcomputer, and personalise the environment with a variety of Batcave items.
Fans of all generations can enjoy the game solo or team up with a friend or family member through two-player local cooperative gameplay, as one player takes on the role of Batman and the other as one of his trusted allies. For those looking for a tougher playthrough, the game features a new Caped Crusader enhanced difficulty setting and an even more challenging Dark Knight difficulty level.

Get ready for the toughest first day on the job at a Route 66 biker bar in this Gas Station Simulator Prequel
Kraków, Poland – May 19, 2026 – Roadhouse Simulator, the action-packed biker bar management simulator from publisher DRAGO Entertainment and prequel to Gas Station Simulator which has sold 2M units, busts through the saloon doors with an action-packed Prologuechapter, out today on PC via Steam!
In this bare-knuckle opening chapter, relive the rowdy early days of Gas Station Simulator’s Uncle, who gets off a shoddy bus on a remote stretch of the legendary Route 66. Kick off a career as a bouncer at the All The Dots bar and grill, a local watering hole attracting unwanted attention.
Keep the business running smoothly and the bar’s rough-around-the-edges patrons mostly civil, maintaining a sharp eye on who’s coming in. Climb the ranks from bouncer to bartender, and help the saloon flourish into a respectable establishment while fending off biker gangs threatening to cause a ruckus and overstay their welcome. Things can get pretty unruly at All The Dots, even at the best of times, so be prepared to step in and “de-escalate” things if bar confrontations turn violent. Roll up your sleeves and restore order with stern words or a swift fist – and when the local biker gang rolls up in force, get ready for a full-on free-for-all to maintain order by any means necessary.
“The Prologue is just a first taste of what we have in store in the full game,” said Joanna Tynor, CEO of DRAGO Entertainment. “This is just the first day on the job, but trust me – this is a baptism by fire.”
Look forward to a more extensive Roadhouse Simulator demo later this year, which will include more in-depth mechanics, including managing a fully featured bar.
DRAGO entertainment began operations in 1998 in Krakow, Poland. The company initially focused on creating innovative projects for international video publishers as an external contractor while strengthening internal competencies and creating a friendly and professional team to develop their own titles. Since adopting a new strategy in 2018, their goal is to deliver high-quality productions on an international level.
The studio’s flagship title is Gas Station Simulator, which released on September 15, 2021 and immediately became a best seller on Steam. DRAGO entertainment is currently broadening their horizons with new projects and continuing to support their current titles.

CODE EXIT is a 1–4 player sci-fi co-op survival horror game where players take on the role of investigators sent into a city overrun by the rogue AI Minerva. As players explore dark, isolated facilities, Minerva observes their behavior in real time, adapting its tactics and turning every mission into a tense fight for survival. Restore systems, recover hidden data, and work together to uncover the truth behind the collapse of Pantheon before Minerva closes in.
Key Features of CODE EXIT:
Solo to Four Player Tactical Co op – Choose to face the nightmare alone or team up with up to three friends. The game scales its intensity based on your group size. Success depends on real-time communication and strategic coordination to stay one step ahead of the chaser.
Adaptive Chaser Minerva – Experience a chaser that does not follow a script. Minerva observes your habits and remembers your favorite hiding spots. If you continuously repeat the same behavior, the chaser will adapt and change its hunting pattern to catch you.
Dynamic Escape Missions – Every playthrough offers a different mission to the exit. You must complete a series of randomized and stage-specific objectives while navigating a high-pressure environment. No two sessions feel the same, as the missions and threats constantly evolve.
Persistent Pressure and Dread – Forget simple jump scares. CODE EXIT focuses on a suffocating atmosphere where the chaser is always learning and getting smarter. The tension builds every minute, making each successful escape a true achievement.
Wishlist CODE EXIT on Steam and jump into the first-ever demo later today at 6:00pm PT / 9:00pm ET.
