Developed by 20-year veteran industry team at Genigods Lab, the hardcore action RPG reinvents ancient Chinese creation mythology for global players.

gamescom, Cologne – 25th August, 2026: Genigods Lab officially unveiled its flagship single-player hardcore action RPG Genigods: Nezha via its first global worldview trailer with gamescom Opening Night Live. Built on fully customized Unreal Engine 5 and optimized for PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC, this premium buy-to-play title is slated for a future global launch. Attendees can experience the exclusive hands-on demo at official platform booths from August 26 to 30 during gamescom 2026.

Watch the global worldview premiere trailer of Genigods: Nezha at gamescom ONL here:

Genigods: Nezha is an original hardcore action RPG rooted in ancient Chinese genesis mythology. Players embody the Spirit Pearl, the primal life essence crafted by Goddess Nüwa, reincarnated as the legendary deity Nezha to embark on an epic primordial journey.

The game features a unique three-stage protagonist evolution: from a primitive porcelain vessel, to the first mortal human, and finally to a transcended celestial warrior. It reinterprets classic myths of Kuafu Chasing the Sun and Yi Shooting the Nine Suns, centered on the lore of the solar mother goddess, presenting a rare matriarchal perspective of Chinese creation mythology for global audiences.

“Our core goal is to showcase the epic grandeur of Chinese celestial battles to worldwide players,” said Young Lau, Producer at Genigods Lab. “In Genigods: Nezha every skill cast and every choice made reshapes the trajectory of this ancient eastern epic.”

“Premiering with gamescom ONL and global platform partners marks a vital milestone for our team,” he added. “Players will wield primal creation power, traverse freely between heaven and earth, unlock the iconic eight-armed celestial form, and rewrite the world’s fate on the primordial battlefield. This is not a story to witness, but an epic to forge with your own hands.”

Key Features:

World Premiere Solar Goddess Narrative Arc
The debut worldview trailer showcases the grand Kuafu Chasing the Sun arc, reinterprets the classic Yi Shooting the Nine Suns myth, and presents the protagonist’s complete growth journey, alongside the climactic solar goddess chapter, reshaping traditional eastern creation legends with modern game design.

Unique Three-Stage Hero Growth System
Based on ancient Chinese classics and the original Spirit Pearl lore of Nezha, the game builds an exclusive three-stage growth path: porcelain vessel → first mortal human → celestial ascension. As the first artifact crafted by Nüwa in creation mythology, the female-led storyline inherits the rare matriarchal core of Chinese ancient myths, enriching the diversity of eastern hero narratives on global console and PC platforms.

Industry-First Ground-Air Dual Stance Celestial Combat
Breaking the ground-only combat limitation of traditional ARPGs, the game adopts an original dual-stance combat system tailored for Chinese mythic battles. Players switch seamlessly between terrestrial melee and full 3D free aerial combat, restoring the iconic scene of celestial gods fighting across heaven and earth and delivering exclusive eastern divine combat experience.

Cyber-Sinified Artifact System & Eight-Armed Warrior Form
The game faithfully restores classic Nezha artifacts including the Fire-Tipped Spear, Wind-Fire Wheels and Golden Brick, forming a complete artifact collection and transformation system. Equipping full sets of exclusive artifacts unlocks the iconic eight-armed battle form, integrating traditional Chinese myth aesthetics with futuristic cyber styles to create a globally recognizable eastern divine hero image.

Cinematic Fluid Simulation Co-Developed with Nezha Animation Team
In deep collaboration with the core production team of the blockbuster animation Ne Zha/Ne Zha2, the studio brings theatrical-level real-time fluid simulation technology to Unreal Engine 5, achieving photorealistic rendering of fire, water, clouds and cosmic phenomena, elevating in-game battles and cutscenes to feature-film visual quality.

Epic Giant Divine Boss Battles
Powered by optimized Unreal Engine 5 rendering, the game features exclusive giant ancient god boss battles unique to Chinese mythology. Players battle colossal mythic creatures across terrestrial and celestial spaces, restoring the grand scale of primordial wilderness and creating an eastern epic combat experience distinct from western fantasy works.

Self-Developed Exclusive Mythic Artifact Asset Library
The team independently built a full set of original Chinese myth artifact assets, combining traditional cultural heritage with futuristic cyber design. The exclusive asset system supports character growth and strategic combat iteration, delivering unique myth collection and battle immersion for players.

Customized AAA Self-Developed Technical Architecture
Based on deeply customized Unreal Engine 5, the architecture integrates cinematic fluid simulation, day-night cycle and dynamic weather systems. Empowered by real-time cinematic fluid effects, Motion Marching 2.0 and ML Deformer technologies, it supports seamless ground-air dual-stance combat and full-domain dynamic elemental effects, balancing top-tier visual fidelity and smooth AAA-grade combat performance.

During gamescom 2026, official platform booths feature exclusive playable demos, including giant boss encounters and featured artifact combat gameplay, fully demonstrating the game’s optimized performance and high-end visuals on next-gen consoles.

Debut shooter from Octopus Panic, founded by DICE/343 Industries veterans, announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live

Seattle, WA, USA – August 25, 2026 – Independent developer and publisher Octopus Panic today announced GRAVOUNDS, a new 1-4 player co-op action builder coming to Early Access on PC and Xbox Series X|S on November 2, 2026, and available day one with Xbox Game Pass.

The announcement trailer revealed at Opening Night Live showcases the game’s chaotic, physics-driven mayhem, tasking players with dropping into hostile planets as a pack, building defensive fortifications, and extracting with valuable resources before becoming alien chow.

See the GRAVHOUNDS announcement trailer here:

GRAVHOUNDS is playable this week at Gamescom on the Xbox booth in Hall 7. See more of GRAVHOUNDS this week on the Xbox @ Gamescom livestream starting at 3pm CEST on Wednesday, August 26.

About GRAVHOUNDS
GRAVHOUNDS is a frantic 1-4 player co-op action builder where players drop into hostile planets as a pack of bio-engineered canine workers built for dangerous planetary operations. To survive the closing swarm and secure their haul, players must bend gravity to their will, improvise under fire, and successfully extract before they are overwhelmed.

Every mission is a risk-reward balancing act with deploying turrets, generators, and complex pipeline networks across treacherous alien terrain. The longer a pack decides to stay and push for high-value materials, the deadlier and more aggressive the alien swarm becomes.

GRAVHOUNDS features:

• 1-4 Player Co-Op – Intense alone, chaotic with a crew. Combine each Gravhound’s unique strengths and improvise to beat back the swarm. Go lone wolf to expand the operation or stick with the pack to stand your ground.
• Bend Gravity to Your Will – Use the powerful Grav Beam to fling objects across the battlefield or send enemies flying. Disclaimer: transporting volatile materials may result in unforeseen loss of Gravhounds.
• Build to Survive – Deploy turrets, generators, and fabricators to expand your operation. Extend pipelines across hostile terrain to power your base, move critical resources, and keep your eventual escape route alive.
• No Two Shifts Play the Same – Unlock powerful new abilities and upgrades mid-shift. Stack bonuses and reshape your loadout to adapt to a swarm that grows deadlier by the second – but so do you.
• Move Fast, Die Last – High-speed mobility allows players to boost in any direction, hover, and reposition under heavy fire to race to a teammate’s aid or make a last-second dash for materials.
• High-Risk Extraction – Seek out treacherous planets for the best materials. Stay longer and push harder to increase your rewards, but beware: every extra second escalates the swarm, turning each shift into a high-stakes bet on what your pack can handle.

GRAVHOUNDS is developed by Octopus Panic, founded by veterans of 343 Industries and DICE, with development led by Halo 4 Creative Director and former Halo Studios Head, Josh Holmes.

“GRAVHOUNDS started with a simple idea: a crew of blue-collar dogs stranded on the far side of the galaxy, still expected to show up for work,” said Josh Holmes, co-founder of Octopus Panic. “For us, the best co-op moments are when things unexpectedly go off the rails, and somehow you still pull it off together.”

“We founded Octopus Panic with the desire to get back to the heart of development and spend our time making games again,” said Scott Sims, co-founder of Octopus Panic. “With a team of seven full-time developers, we’re all hands-on with every part of development, can iterate quickly without overhead, and, most importantly, stay close to the players. Being self-funded and self-published gives us the freedom to build GRAVHOUNDS the way we believe it should be built. We’re incredibly excited to finally get the game into players’ hands, hear what they have to say, and work alongside the community to make the game even better throughout Early Access.”

Players can now wishlist GRAVHOUNDS on Steam (and Windows Store) and keep up to date with the latest development updates on GRAVHOUNDS.com.

About Octopus Panic
Octopus Panic is a small independent game studio that creates games with enough freedom for players to surprise us. Its close-knit team of industry veterans builds cooperative adventures around experimentation, improvisation, and memorable stories shared between players. Its first game, GRAVHOUNDS, is a 1-4 player co-op action-builder about blue collar dogs stranded on the far side of the galaxy.

Everything she does is driven by love for her sister and her homeland, and I think that’s what makes her strength feel so human. Getting to step into her boots, facing otherworldly demigods, and commanding Knights of the Round Table has been an absolute privilege.” 

Also announced today, as part of their driven initiative towards a full global launch, Tides of Annihilation has included new language support for Brazilian Portuguese.

The colorful, chaotic Stone Age tribe-builder launches out of Early Access with companion animals, enemy tribes, a bison with a bad attitude, and the Stone Age’s first cooking minigame

CZECH REPUBLIC, August 25, 2026 — Polylithic, the Stone Age survival game that dares to ask why prehistoric games are always brown, is out now. Developed by polyperfect and published by indie.io, the 1.0 release marks the largest content drop in the game’s history, arriving after more than 50 updates across nearly three years of Early Access.

STEAM PAGE 

Set in a vibrant, low-poly world where humans are definitively not at the top of the food chain, Polylithic casts players as tribe leaders navigating the long, chaotic road from Paleolithic hunter-gatherer to Neolithic settler. That means hunting, crafting, expanding a settlement, managing a technology tree, and keeping a tribe of increasingly demanding cavemen alive through prehistoric winters, rival threats, and their own questionable decisions. The game supports both solo play and online co-op for up to 10 players, with an infinitely generated Sandbox Mode for those who prefer to skip the narrative and simply cause problems

The 1.0 update brings a substantial expansion of everything Polylithic established in Early Access. Players can now adopt a best friend, choosing between a dog and a hyena depending on their disposition. Enemy tribes arrive to complicate settlement plans. A new Mammoth boss and a bison described by the developer as simply “mean” expand the creature roster, while a full character customization system lets players dress for the Stone Age in ways the Stone Age never intended. The new cooking minigame generates recipes procedurally, which is as chaotic as it sounds. Tribal dances now happen every other night, because on the off nights everyone just gets to hang out. New BBC documentary-inspired cutscenes, new story moments, smarter AI, new weapons, and a major optimization pass round out a release that the developer describes simply as “a lot.”

Polylithic is available now on Steam and the indie.io store, priced at $14.99 with a 35% launch discount. The game supports English, Czech, French, German, Russian,  Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese.

Deploy in January, Sleepwalkers!

London, United Kingdom & Toronto, Canada (25^th August, 2026) – Today at gamescom Opening Night Live, developer Alpha Channel revealed 15^th January as the release date for brutal vehicular RPG, TankRat – coming to PS5 and PC via Steam.

Watch the extended version of the eerie, explosive trailer below, set to William Blake’s ‘The Tyger’

Created in partnership with Kepler Interactive, TankRat is a post-apocalyptic journey of rebellion, lost identity, and mech-mayhem. You control Whittaker, a digitized human consciousness known as a ‘Sleepwalker’, capable of fusing with fully customizable tanks.

Whittaker has one mission: find salvation in the fabled city of Highpoint. But as you venture into the Event Containment Area – a war-torn wasteland occupied by machines called Tankrats – that mission becomes an existential bullet to Whittaker’s view of morality, consciousness and power. Your only hope lies in Cyril, a mysterious guide and mentor, and in your ability to pilot your tank better than those who seek to tear it apart wheel by wheel.

Through six unique areas to explore and seven giant, mechanical bosses, the metal of the most hardened Sleepwalkers will be put to the test. The name of the game is survival. The way you do it is up to you…

For any Sleepwalker seeking survival, the tank is the backbone. Choose between the light tank – nimble, quick and able to dodge projectiles and flee from fights at the blink of an eye – and the medium tank – a mechanical behemoth capable of soaking up large amounts of damage and dealing even more.  Load your tank up from a selection of over twenty-five weapons, from the 90mm cannon that tears through metal, to the 10mm cannon that picks off enemies from a distance. 

Whichever tank or cannon you choose is half the battle. In the ECA, what you take becomes what you are. Dismantling tanks and harvesting parts from their corpses is just as important as getting your tank right from the start. Each part has the possibility to bring unique advantages, perks and fresh ways to wreak havoc that can only be found in the ECA.

Speaking about the upcoming release, Daniel Ebanks, Creative Director at Alpha Channel said: “Blistering, eviscerating combat is at TankRat’s core, but we’ve also infused it with what we love as a studio – the Tankrats are a homage to miniature ‘kitbashing’, the world is an ode to 20^th century sci-fi, and playing the game feels like mech action at its finest. We’re psyched to let players get their hands on these and geek out about the same things we do. See you in the ECA.”
