August 11 – Wargaming, the developer and publisher of the leading historically accurate, naval multiplayer game for console World of Warships: Legends, is celebrating six years on the Seven Seas with a special anniversary update. Kicking off the birthday festivities are two new Premium cruisers, a special Bureau project and a three-week Birthday Mayhem Calendar, packed with rewards. The historic update also features the game’s first-ever campaign with free Admiralty Backing to unlock one of two Premium Tier VIII ships, a second wave of ‘Blue Archive’ content, and quality of life improvements for players to enjoy.

New and limited time only ‘Blue Archive’ theme content available from Aug 11th to Sep 8th

World of Warships: Legends welcomes back ‘Blue Archive’ for its second wave! Available from August 11 until September 8, players can expand their armadas with three new ships–Tier VIII Premium French cruiser BA Utnapishtim’s Ship, Tier VI Premium Italian battleship BA Binah, and Tier VII Premium Soviet battleship BA Hovercraft. Also joining the game and ready to lead these ships into battle are three new Commanders, Hayase Yuuka, Konuri Maki, and Kosaka Wakamo, each featuring their own unique voiceover.

Adding plenty more action to the mix, special ‘Blue Archive’ II Containers are available, with two that can be claimed for free, via the “Party Around the World” campaign and the “Codename: Blue Archive” mission. Within these Containers are items from the first and second wave of the collaboration, rewarding players with one of eight Commanders or one of five ships. Fans can get hands-on with these new additions, alongside the previous wave of ‘Blue Archive’ content, in the Store and through ‘Blue Archive’ II Containers.

Party Around the World Campaign with Free Admiralty Backing

The first-ever campaign with a completely free Admiralty Backing is here! Following the classic Legendary campaign format, players can work through 100 milestones to unlock special rewards. Waiting at the end are two ships to select from, Japanese Tier VIII Premium destroyer Minegumo or Pan-European Tier VIII Premium battleship Niord. Once selected, the remaining unchosen ship will be available for purchase with doubloons post-campaign.

Legend’s Birthday Brings New Ships, Calendar, and special Bureau project

To celebrate six years of Legendary action, players can undertake a number of in-game activities to earn a special event currency, Piñatitas. These Piñatitas can be exchanged for a range of birthday-themed items and rewards, including two new ships: Pan-Asian Tier VII Premium cruiser Irian and British Tier V Premium cruiser Dido.

The Birthday Mayhem Calendar also arrives to the game, featuring three weeks worth of rewards, alongside a special Bureau project granting players access to items from popular past events including Halloween, New Year, and Black Friday.

Coplay Accelerates Momentum with Unity MCP Stewardship, New Product Features, and Growing Developer Adoption

Now maintaining the most popular Unity MCP server, Coplay doubles down on its mission to empower game developers with powerful, AI-enabled workflows.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — August 8, 2025Coplay, the AI copilot for game developers, today announced several major milestones as it continues to grow its influence in the AI-for-games ecosystem. The company has taken over as the official maintainer of the most widely used open-source Unity Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, introduced key product updates like Orchestrator Mode, and opened public beta access to a growing developer base. These developments mark a new chapter for Coplay as it delivers on its mission to bring agentic workflows and AI automation to the heart of game development.
 
Originally created by Unity VR developer and content creator Justin Barnett, the open-source Unity MCP server has become a staple in the Unity and AI developer communities. As interest surged, maintaining the repo became a full-time job that Coplay has officially stepped in to support.
 
“We’ve admired what Justin built with Unity MCP and how the community has rallied around it,” said Jos van der Westhuizen, CEO and Co-founder of Coplay. “By stepping in as its official steward, we’re helping ensure that Unity developers have a reliable and continually improving gateway to AI-powered workflows, whether they use Coplay or not.”
 
Justin Barnett has also joined Coplay to help advance both the open-source MCP project and Coplay’s own product roadmap, ensuring the best of both worlds for developers.
 
As part of its 2025 roadmap, Coplay has now opened its public beta to all developers. Previously invite-only, Coplay’s platform is now being both large AAA studios and fast-moving indie teams. Already, Coplay is completing over 3,000 Unity development features per week for users via natural language commands and AI orchestration.
 
Recent feature updates include:

  • Orchestrator Mode: Enables developers to execute multi-step tasks in sequence, based on a single game design document or command.
  • Expanded AI integrations: New image generation and 3D model support help streamline the asset pipeline.
  • Agentic task execution: Agents can now perform long-running or asynchronous workflows directly within Unity.

A new visual demo of Orchestrator Mode is available below:

With its open-source involvement and AI automation platform working in tandem, Coplay is well positioned to lead the next wave of innovation in game development. As tools like Unity MCP bring AI agents closer to mainstream workflows, Coplay ensures they’re practical and powerful.

“We’re not just building a feature, we’re building a new interface for how creative software should work,” said Westhuizen. “By removing friction and giving developers real agency through AI, we’re unlocking a new era of game creation.”

Developers can join the Coplay public beta via its Discord channel: https://discord.com/invite/KmGfEr6d3v

About Coplay

Coplay is an AI copilot for game developers, designed to automate repetitive tasks, streamline complex workflows, and accelerate game creation. With natural language commands, developers can control Unity and other tools more intuitively, while Coplay’s orchestration engine handles the rest. Founded by Jos van der Westhuizen, Joned Sarwar, and Marcus Sanatan, the San Francisco-based team brings over a decade of experience in scalable systems and game development. Coplay’s mission is to empower developers to focus on creativity and innovation.

Cronos: The New Dawn – Unveiling the Mysteries in the Latest Dev Diary

Step into the world of Cronos: The New Dawn with the newest episode of the Developer Diary, where Bloober Team dives deep into the game’s rich narrative. Discover why humanity fell, uncover The Traveler’s true role, and get to know the enigmatic Warden more closely. Get ready: Cronos: The New Dawn launches on Sept. 5 – and players will uncover the story in real time, side by side with The Traveler.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror game created by the renowned horror studio Bloober Team, best known for the critically acclaimed SILENT HILL 2 Remake. Built around a powerful and original narrative, the entire story unfolds in Nowa Huta — a district of Kraków, Poland — presented across two contrasting timelines: a post-apocalyptic future and its industrial reality in the 1980s.

This unique setting blends gritty retro realism with dystopian science fiction and retro-futuristic atmosphere, creating a deeply immersive world filled with tension and mystery. At the heart of the story is the mysterious Traveler — a figure central to the fate of humanity. As the game’s release approaches, the development team — Klaudia Sewera, Game Producer, and Grzegorz Like, Lead Narrative Designer and Lead Writer — unveils more about the game’s complex narrative in a new episode of the Dev Diary: how souls are extracted, who must be chosen, and what the true purpose of The Travelers is. This isn’t just a horror story — it’s a journey through time, identity, and the haunting remains of a broken world.

Watch New Episode of Dev Diary – Cronos: The New Dawn | Deep Dive Into The Story

Additionally, players will become more familiar with a new character: The Warden, first introduced in the recent, standout story trailer (watch the story trailer here) — an enigmatic Traveler whose presence and philosophy stand in stark contrast to those of the protagonist. Voiced by Alan Turkington, The Warden oversees the tools and maintains the hub where players spend much of their time throughout the game.

Cronos: The New Dawn is scheduled for release on Sept. 5, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, PC (via Steam and Epic), and Switch 2.

Wishlist now on Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, and PlayStation. Players that preorder the Deluxe Edition get 48-hour early access starting Sept. 3.

Top Hat Studios and Crypt Custodian Developer Reveal WELL DWELLER, out 2026

AUGUST 8th, PHILADELPHIA: Deep within the forest, at the bottom of a well, lives the only creature brave enough to challenge the Queen. Top Hat Studios, Inc. is pleased to announce WELL DWELLER, a new dark, bizarre, twisted fairy-tale metroidvania by Kyle Thompson (Crypt Custodian, Islets). Play as Glimmer – a tiny bird armed with a matchstick – who must burn the wicked queen to save his family before they become part of her royal gown.

Venture forth into a whimsical but morbid fairy-tale landscape, and battle terrifying beasts whilst gaining new abilities to expand your world. Discover secrets, mysteries, and the riddles that rot in the underbelly of this wretched queendom.

The dark nooks and crannies throughout shelter powerful trinkets that are key to survival, and a cast of charming characters and allies – all trying to make their own way through the Queen’s twisted world – await befriending along your journey. Go camping with Ilda, a tiny mouse on the run from the Queen’s grasp. Explore an abandoned castle with Looter, a mysterious scavenger who searches the queendom for the best wares to steal.

Many more encounters and discoveries await along the way, punctuated by beautiful, hand-drawn medieval-style fairy-tale illustrations.

Not every fable or fairly-tale has a happy ending, and an imposing collection of beast and royally-sized challenges await. Step into the tiny shoes (or feathers) of Glimmer, and perhaps, just perhaps, you’ll be able to re-unite all your sheltered siblings, snatched from the nest one night in a turn of events that lead to the coming of an unlikely, little hero….

The next game from the developer of the critically acclaimed Crypt Custodian, WELL DWELLER marks the continuation of the partnership between Developer Kyle Thompson and Publisher Top Hat Studios, Inc.. WELL DWELLER will launch in 2026 for Nintendo Switch™ and PC.
