Experience the wild planet of Sota7 in stunning detail enhanced with NVIDIA tech. Try it at Gamescom!

Los Angeles, California – August 18, 2025 – Developer Frozen Way Studio, in partnership with publisher Snail Games USA, have revealed that their survival sandbox game Honeycomb: The World Beyond will launch November 6th on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series platforms. Prepare for a journey of scientific exploration and survival on an awe-inspiring planet that can be both incredibly friendly – and slightly hostile.

Alongside this announcement, the studio has revealed a new technology partnership with NVIDIA, integrating advanced features such as NVIDIA RTXDI, NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Ray Reconstruction, Multi Frame Generation and Reflex to deliver a visually stunning and immersive experience. Gamescom 2025 visitors can even play a brand-new demo, testing NVIDIA technology in action at a dedicated technology stand, and meet the team at the Indie Arena Booth. To see all the visual and performance improvements Nvidia RTX can bring to Honeycomb: The World Beyond, check out the video below:

Honeycomb: The World Beyond puts players in the astro boots of Hennessy, a pioneer forging an expedition on an uninhabited, mysterious planet that could be the key to saving mankind. Explore the world of Sota7 and uncover its secrets. From calm forests and vibrant jungles to vast fields spread at the foot of a mysterious volcano, every trek through its diverse terrain is sure to leave a lasting impression. Carve out a home for yourself and use that safe space to further your research. Play your part in saving the Earth’s ecosystem through experimenting with innovative bioengineering mechanics on Sota7.

Gathering information about an ecosystem is a crucial part of a bioengineer’s work. Analyze samples and procure resources carefully in order to find familiar patterns and understand this world. This will help you create new, fascinating life forms that will harmonize with its alien environment. Hennessy’s understanding of Sota7’s new ecosystem will be fundamental in solving the problems back on Earth. Use innovative in-game mechanics such as allogamy and grafting to create hybrids that could change the world. Unleash your inner scientist and become a master of the art of crossbreeding.

A true explorer needs a safe haven to rest and contemplate if they’re to succeed. Plan and build your perfect modular base as a means of shelter, as well as a lab to carry out your experiments, report progress, and rest. Inspired by natural shapes found in Art Nouveau, the modular design of your base isn’t just a visual feature, but also a strategic advantage that allows you to adapt to your changing needs as an explorer and a scientist. Nestled within your base lies a sanctuary of profound significance: the laboratory. Here you can grow as a scientist and bioengineer. Gather resources and create varied laboratory devices to experiment with samples collected during the exploration of the world. Cultivate plants to decorate your place as well as yield a satisfying harvest. Ensure your base is a habitat that matches its surroundings in form and function. 

“At Frozen Way, we grew up loving sci-fi. We were captivated by the genre’s evocative visual designs, sense of wonder and adventure, and the actual science of sci-fi,” said Taisia Gaidei, Lead Designer at Frozen Way. “We loved this sense of experimentation, of seeing what works, what fails, what unexpected problems you can encounter along the way. Honeycomb: The World Beyond is designed to make you feel simultaneously like a small speck in awe of the universe’s grand scope… as well as a really clever innovator when you figure out how various aspects of it all fit together. Sota 7 is an adventurous scientist’s dream planet just waiting to be explored!”

Honeycomb: The World Beyond key features:

• Explore the unknown – each corner of Sota7 offers diverse biomes with different plants and animals for you to discover. Explorer, let curiosity guide your steps! Encounter the kaleidoscope of life forms, learn about them, and apply that knowledge to further research.
• Awaken your inner bioengineer – in Honeycomb: The World Beyond you are both observer and creator. Find and experiment with new fauna and flora species to unlock their potential.
• Witness the synergy of nature and science – crossbreed various plants or animals using bioengineering mechanics such as grafting and allogamy..
• Build your perfect base –  to survive and conduct experiments, you need to build your base of operations. Gather materials and set up your own sanctuary – an oasis in a foreign world. If you’re not a keen builder, utilize the Planning Mode – which will do the job for you!
• Arrange the laboratory – the heart of your base is a lab, where you can experiment with collected samples.
• Find hidden riches – remember that Sota7 is a unique yet challenging place. You should always be on the lookout for better resources!
• Survive at any cost – face the upcoming challenges with courage and try to survive in the unfamiliar world of Sota7.

RIGA, LATVIA – 18 August 2025 – Hide The Corpse, the chaotic and quirky VR body-hiding sandbox from publisher HyperVR Games and developer Realcast, seeks no suspicion on PlayStation VR 2 today. Hide the Corpse is also available on Meta Quest.

Placed in an incriminating scenario, avoid the wrongful wrath of the law by dragging Gus the corpse into clever hiding spots across physics-based levels. Hide evidence and rub away fingerprints while scanning retro-themed rooms for the perfect place to stash Gus’ uncooperative corpse before the cops arrive in four short minutes!

Take Gus on a field trip to several distinct locations, each with new challenges to overcome. Manufacture a body-hiding masterpiece at the Museum or use some elbow grease to conceal him in the Garage. Escape international sovereignty to outrun the authorities – send accusations to Davy Jones’ Locker in the Sunken Ship, or eject evidence from the zero-gravity Spaceship!

Earn points by eliminating evidence and then spend them on new outfits. Gussy up Gus to rest in style with a dance floor-ready Disco outfit, rise from the dead in Zombie clothes and makeup, or make him a hero among corpses in a Superhero suit. Complicate each level further with fun Modifiers such as Flubber, which makes Gus and other objects bounce unpredictably around the room!

“Hide the Corpse aims to put a lighthearted spin on an otherwise gruesome scenario,’’ said Eneko Barandiaran, Publishing Manager, HyperVR Games. “We hope the PlayStation VR community can get a laugh out of Gus’ post-mortem adventure!”

Begin Gamescom with a bang thanks to 9 diverse indie titles that span from horror to action co-op adventures! 

[Cologne, Germany | 18th August, 2025] – Soft Source is set to make Gamescom 2025 unforgettable – not only with a lineup of nine standout indie titles, but with the creators themselves joining the fun. 

Flying in from across the globe, these developers will be on hand at Hall 10-2, Stand F004g for a week of hands-on demos, meet-and-greets, and behind-the-scenes insights. 

Meet its Makers

For the first time, Soft Source’s presence is just as much about the creators as the games. Development teams from Southeast Asia and beyond are flying to Cologne to personally demo their projects. Meet the minds behind your next favorite indie – chat with the storytellers who shaped DreadOut 3’s creepiest moments or the Filipino pixel artists building Bloodbreaker’s gothic maze.

They will be booth-ready, meaning you can completely geek out, have merch signed, and share any fun memories.

Additionally, you can expect impromptu Q&A sessions, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and one-on-one conversations. Soft Source is turning its corner into a mini indie meetup.

Create personal core memories with nine amazing games

From spine-tingling horror to heartfelt adventure, Soft Source’s playable lineup has something for everyone. Every title revealed last month is on the show floor-some with fresh Gamescom content. Hunt ghosts in DreadOut 3, step into the surreal nightmares of Midnight Dreams, brave the cursed labyrinth of Bloodbreaker, or shred through the Underworld in Grim Trials with its head-banging metal soundtrack.
 

Prefer something lighter or more heartfelt? Guide a young girl through a dreamy, hand-drawn world in As I Began to Dream, or join Kejora and friends on a puzzle-platform adventure to unravel a village mystery. Dive beneath the waves in Bahamut and the Waqwaq Tree, a tranquil Arabian-mythology-inspired journey. Team up in the retro co-op action RPG Mighty Knight Legacy, or embrace the whimsy of Wolley’s Dungeon Adventure, where a cute creature inhales and spits out enemies for family-friendly chaos.

About Soft Source

Soft Source is a game publisher based in Singapore. With a penchant for home-grown, Southeast Asian titles, we’re just excited to work on bringing engaging games with standout, stylized visuals to life.

An iconic arcade shoot-em-up is reborn on Atari consoles

18th August 2025: PLAION REPLAI, a leading global publisher and developer of retro video game software and hardware, and Atari, one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers, are proud to announce the release of Tiger-Heli on cartridge for the Atari 7800, 7800+, and 2600+.  This new title is the flagship release in a bold new wave of officially licensed retro games out now. The other titles launching on Atari include Avalanche, Countermeasure II, Dark Chambers and Super Circus Atari.

Tiger-Heli brings the adrenaline-pumping, vertically scrolling shooter action of the arcade original to Atari hardware for the first time ever.  Developed from the ground up, this homebrew-built edition unleashes fast, fluid gameplay that honours the spirit of the 1985 arcade classic while optimising for the power of Atari’s newest consoles.

“Tiger-Heli isn’t just a port, it’s a full-throttle reimagining, built specifically for Atari players,” said PLAION REPLAI’s Commercial Director, Ben Jones. “We’ve made sure it looks, sounds, and plays like a dream on original and new hardware alike.  It’s both a tribute and a statement about the future of physical retro gaming.”

Key Features of the new Tiger-Heli include:

• Intense single-player helicopter combat.
• Power-ups that boost firepower and unlock new abilities.
• Diverse stages filled with tanks, turrets, aircraft, and bosses.
• Original Pokey-based soundtrack that hits all the right nostalgic notes.
• Compatible with Atari 7800, 7800+, and 2600+.
• Packaged in a premium retro-style box with a collector’s manual.

Tiger-Heli headlines a broader cross-genre showcase of five new cartridges, each designed to rekindle the spirit of Atari’s golden age while appealing to today’s collectors and retro gamers. These include:

• Avalanche: A fast-paced puzzle-action classic of falling chaos.
• Countermeasure II: Tactical tank warfare meets Cold War codebreaking.
• Dark Chambers: The return of the legendary dungeon crawl.
• Super Circus Atari: Balloon-popping, clown-launching arcade mayhem.

Each release has been carefully selected and crafted – some are reimagined homebrew favourites, while others are cult classics getting their first-ever official cartridge editions.

Together, they form a cohesive physical collection that showcases the best of 8-bit imagination across action, strategy, and arcade genres.

Tiger-Heli and the additional four games are now available to buy at major retailers, priced at $44.95.
