Sydney, Australia, 1 October 2026: Deep Silver and KING Art Games have unveiled the complete CGI introduction to the Space Marines of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV. The Blood Ravens and Dark Angels finally stand together in the battle for Kronus. Get ready for the team-up of the millennium.

The Space Marines are the pre-eminent defenders of Humanity, boasting ancient power armour and the finest weapons the Imperium can provide. They face the hardest missions, battle the deadliest foes, and emerge victorious where lesser soldiers would be annihilated. But on Kronus, even the Adeptus Astartes can be brought to the brink.

The mysterious Blood Ravens have a long history with Kronus, a crucial recruitment world for their chapter. When the Great Rift tore the galaxy in half, Captain Cyrus, Jonah Orion and their forces found themselves on the wrong side, cut off from reinforcements. Suffering casualties, they return to Kronos in hopes of replenishing their ranks. Instead of relief, they crash against waves of xenos forces. Defeat is all but certain until the Dark Angels arrive to turn the tide…

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV launches on December 3, 2026 (December 4 AEDT), with Commander Edition players deploying from November 30 (December 1 AEDT) through a 3-Day Early Unlock. Both editions are available to pre-order now with a 10% discount. The war will continue long after launch. Year One includes free updates featuring the return of Crusade Mode, new maps, modes, Commanders, and the Mission Editor, alongside two major story expansions that will deepen the conflict on Kronus and introduce a new playable faction to the battlefield.

• Rankings by Revenue Places Kingston No. 1 with 62% Market Share
• Recognized World Leader for 23 Consecutive Years

Australia– October 1, 2026 – Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced it has been ranked the top third-party DRAM module supplier in the world, according to the latest rankings by revenue from analyst firm TrendForce. Kingston retains its number 1 position with an estimated 62% market share.

TrendForce reported that the global DRAM module market generated approximately $21.2 billion in revenue in 2025, representing a 59% YoY increase and a significant acceleration from the 7% growth recorded in 2024. The market’s expansion was driven by rising DRAM prices and stronger shipment volumes during the second half of the year. According to the report, Kingston’s revenue grew 48% YoY in 2025, reinforcing its leadership position in a market where the top five DRAM module suppliers accounted for only 77% of total revenue. Kingston alone represented nearly two-thirds of the market.

The DRAM market experienced a dramatic shift during 2025. Early in the year, DRAM module manufacturers increased DDR4 inventory levels in response to tariff concerns and DRAM suppliers’ end-of-life plans for DDR4 products. Later in the year, growing demand from cloud service providers supporting agentic AI workloads significantly increased server DRAM consumption. This surge reduced DRAM allocations available for PC and consumer applications, contributing to higher memory prices and stronger module market performance. The shift made clear that enterprise, data center, and AI infrastructure have become the primary forces shaping memory demand, and these are the segments where Kingston has been steadily expanding its B2B business.

Kingston’s industry-leading procurement scale allowed the company to strategically manage inventory throughout 2025 and, as DRAM pricing strengthened during the second half of the year, Kingston was well positioned to aggressively support channel demand, helping drive its strong annual performance. TrendForce also noted that DRAM module manufacturers increasingly focused on industrial and enterprise server markets during 2025 while accelerating the transition to DDR5-based product portfolios. Beyond the channel, Kingston’s B2B business delivered strong growth in 2025 as enterprise, data center, and industrial customers increasingly turned to Kingston for supply continuity, validated solutions, and long-term support.

Building on decades of experience in enterprise and industrial deployments, Kingston’s portfolio spans DDR4 to DDR5 solutions designed for business-critical environments, supporting applications ranging from client PCs and gaming systems to servers, data centers, AI infrastructure, and industrial, embedded, surveillance, and automation systems. This breadth enables customers to navigate evolving technology requirements and scale confidently into next-generation computing workloads.

“Maintaining our leadership position in a dynamic and rapidly evolving memory market reflects Kingston’s long-term strategy, strong supplier relationships, and commitment to serving customers worldwide,” said Kingston. “Our ability to anticipate market transitions, manage inventory effectively, and provide reliable memory solutions enabled us to support partners and customers throughout the year. At the same time, Kingston’s B2B business has become a key growth engine, as enterprise, data center, and industrial customers increasingly rely on Kingston for supply continuity, validated solutions, and long-term support. With memory solutions spanning every major DRAM application, from client PCs and gaming systems to servers, data centers, and AI infrastructure, we are well positioned to help customers scale and innovate wherever their workloads take them.”

The latest update welcomes the new SSR+ Teammate, along with the return of the Family Head grade Teammate, a new event story, and various limited-time events. 

[Noble Swordsman] White (Yellow Element, Warrior, Fisherman) is a powerful warrior who wields five swords inherited from his siblings. During battle, his siblings’ swords float around him, continuously damaging enemies while blocking their basic attacks.

To celebrate the arrival of [Noble Swordsman] White, Tower of God: New World is hosting various events through October 14, including summon events and Tap Tap Plus. Players can acquire [Noble Swordsman] White, Black Market Tickets, Radiant Revolution Fragments and other rewards. During the same period, the Advent Summon for [Family Head] Gustang will also return, giving players another chance to obtain him. 

The new event story “Khun vs. Arie Family Showdown!” has also been added. Players can experience a special story and battle stages centered on the clash between the Khun family and the Arie family, while earning rewards such as SSR+ Tower’s Blessing Break Stone and Revolution Ore through missions and the exchange shop. Four autumn-themed costumes are also returning, including [Shadow Girl] Alphine’s Blue Moon Spirit. 

In addition, the update features the Growth Exchange event that allows players to exchange the growth progress of SSR+ Teammates, including Limit Break, Revolution, and Potential, with another Teammate. All players can use Growth Exchange once, while returning players who revisit the game after September 1 at 9AM (KST) will receive up to five Growth Exchange opportunities. More about the ongoing events can be found on the official forum. 

Tower of God: New World is a collectible card game RPG based on “Tower of God,” a popular WEBTOON series that has surpassed 5 billion global views.

Join Twenty-Fifth Bam – and more than 100 characters – as he fights his way through the Tower in gorgeous 3D animation that will make players feel like they have stepped into an anime world.

The upcoming survival-horror action game’s new music video and track rework Peaches’ iconic breakout single with the voice of Pinhead himself

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Sept. 30, 2026 – Saber Interactive is excited to share the new music video and track for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, the survival-horror action game coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 on October 8. Featuring a new rework of the legendary hit “Fuck the Pain Away” by Peaches, iconic musician, producer, director, and performance artist, today’s new Fuck the Pain Away – Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Rework music video is a mashup of pain and pleasure. The new track is produced and reworked by Steve Molitz, Saber Interactive’s Music Director and Lead Composer, made in collaboration with Peaches and narrated by Pinhead (voice of Doug Bradley) himself.

Fuck the Pain Away – Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Rework Music Video: YouTube

“With this rework of the track, it frames my song in a darker, more twisted world. ‘Fuck the Pain Away’ is ever-expanding and now has new meaning in the Hellraiser universe. I’m in!” said Peaches.

“I’ve always admired Peaches for her fiercely unapologetic, provocative approach to personal expression,” said Molitz. “Blurring the lines between pleasure and pain, this track is a raw, abrasive, three-act descent into a hellscape of transcendence, excess, compulsion and distortion. It was an honor to collaborate with Peaches and rework this iconic track, and we’re thrilled to finally unleash this beast on the world!”

Jump into the free Steam demo for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival now and experience an early taste of the game’s original story. Stroll into Hell’s gates and discover the basics of combat, crafting and puzzle solving before the full journey tears reality apart at launch!

Players can pre-order Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, launching October 8, on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 now for $39.99. The Deluxe Edition is also available to pre-order digitally for $49.99. Players who pre-order either edition of the game will unlock the exclusive in-game Labyrinth Pistol Skin and Martyr Sawblade Skin at launch.

About Peaches

Peaches first catapulted to international stardom with her 2000 debut, The Teaches of Peaches, which introduced the world to her sexually transgressive, fiercely assertive, and utterly captivating stage persona. The album’s ubiquitous lead single “Fuck the Pain Away” became a bonafide smash and a genuine pop culture phenomenon. Them Magazine praised Peaches saying “20 years after The Teaches of Peaches, the world is still catching up with the artist’s brash, irreverent, and sexually self-assured life philosophy.” In the years that followed, Peaches would go on to release five more trailblazing albums—prompting the The New York Times to dub her a “heroine” and Uncut to rave that she brings together “high art, low humour and deluxe filth [in] a hugely seductive combination”—and collaborate with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Christina Aguilera and R.E.M., to Kim Gordon and Yoko Ono. Her music has been honored with the prestigious Polaris Heritage Prize, featured in cultural watermarks like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid’s Tale, South Park, and Broad City, and studied at universities around the world. In addition to her musical output, Peaches has directed over 20 videos, co-curated a photo book of her life, created a host of immersive installations and performative works, and penned the electro-rock opera Peaches Does Herself, which was adapted into a film shown at over 70 festivals. The subject of two acclaimed documentaries—Teaches of Peaches (2024, directed by Judy Landkammer and Philipp Fussenegger) and Peaches Goes Bananas (2024, directed by Marie Losier)—she has also played the title role in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and Brecht’s The Seven Deadly Sins and continues to perform her widely lauded one-woman show, Peaches Christ Superstar. Her aesthetic also provided the main influence for designer Anthony Vaccarello’s AW21 Saint Laurent collection. In 2026, she released No Lube So Rude, her first full-length album in over a decade, to widespread international acclaim, and made her television score debut for Dan Levy’s Big Mistakes on Netflix.
