Tune In With Chewie returns to GameChops with 17 guitar-driven arrangements spanning eight generations of Pokémon, drawing on Mineral, American Football, and Jimmy Eat World

PHILADELPHIA – August 11, 2026 – GameChops is pleased to present Poké Emo, a new album from multi-instrumentalist and sound designer Tune In With Chewie that reimagines the music of Pokémon through the unmistakable sound of early-2000s emo and alternative rock. Some Pokémon songs have always worn their heart on their sleeve, and across 17 tracks, Chewie leans all the way into that feeling, from the nostalgia of Pallet Town to the loneliness of Lavender Town. The album is available now on all major streaming platforms:

Listen to Poké Emo on All Platforms

“Pokémon has been a series I’ve wanted to do an album on for a long time, but I just never got around to it,” comments Tune In With Chewie. “After the success of Zelda’s Midwest Emo Mixtape, I knew I wanted to do Pokémon in this style. I love this style of music and always have. I grew up listening to a lot of Midwest emo like Mineral, American Football, and Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as 2000s emo like My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World, and Thursday. I even sprinkled in some math rock, something I didn’t really get to do much of on the Zelda album.”

Built around heartfelt guitar performances recorded across a range of alternate tunings, Poké Emo gives familiar themes a sound that is equal parts nostalgic and cathartic. Chewie reharmonized many of the arrangements to fit the desired harmonic language, and the album is dotted with deep cuts for the genre faithful: the “Pokémon Theme” intro takes its chord progression from Sunny Day Real Estate’s “8,” the trumpet threaded through “Jubilife Village” is a direct nod to American Football, and a “Minerals” poster hidden in the album artwork references the band Mineral.

The full track listing for Poké Emo is as follows:

01. Pokémon Theme
02. Pallet Town
03. Littleroot Town
04. Route 201
05. Pokémon Center
06. Slumbering Weald
07. Emotion (An Unwavering Heart)
08. Surf Theme
09. Undella Town
10. Cianwood City Theme
11. Jubilife Village
12. Pewter City
13. Jubilife City

17. Outro

Learn your tools in this prequel to the main story. 

ONTARIO, CANADA, AUGUST 11, 2026 | Sava Beric and Ahamed Inhaam, the duo development team behind Fenyx Digital, are thrilled to announce that a special demo for The Money Man, their latest pixel-art narrative game, is now available to download on Steam. In this choice-driven dystopian strategy sim, players are challenged to survive in the high-stakes criminal underworld of a crumbling New York City. There, spotting counterfeit bills becomes a matter of life or death.

Under New Management

Set in a sealed-off New York City 100 years after the world’s wealthy abandoned the Earth for Mars, The Money Man puts you in the shoes of a debtor forced to work off a loan in the back of a speakeasy. Your primary duty over the next 31 tense days is to inspect the money other debtors bring, ensuring that no counterfeits reach the vault.

On top of it all, the gates to Mars reopen just eleven days into your new job, bringing in a flood of strange, new currency into the city – if you’re not smart about it, it’ll be your life, or the life of the one you love, on the line.

Unforgiving Business

To manage the flow of dubious cash, you must use tools at your desk like scanners, UV plates, lights, and your reference ledger to cross-check serial numbers and verify portraits. Depending on what passes over your desk and who you speak to at the speakeasy between shifts, you’ll need to make tough choices about who walks free and who gets ruined. These choices culminate in one of nine distinct endings, where you can stay loyal to the mob, become an informant, or even escape to Mars. Even one choice can alter your ending. 

Chapter One

In The Money Man’s playable demo, players will have a chance to sit down to master their tools and experience a tense prequel to the main story with its own branching story and moral dilemmas with New York’s desperate debtors. 

Over the course of several days, you’ll hear the stories of an orphan boy, a waitress, and a stranger. All three will need you to let their counterfeit money pass for good reasons, but you know that any bad bills you let into the vault come out of your pay at the end of the week, putting you behind on what you also owe to the Family.

You can’t help all three and also help yourself. After five days at the desk, what choices will you make for The Money Man?

Game Features:

• Inspect Cash Using Tools – Use a scanner and UV light and consult your notebook. Hunt for bad serial numbers, blurred faces, wrong watermarks, and counterfeit threads.
• Friendly and Not-So-Friendly Faces – Meet recurring visitors whose lives depend on your judgement. The cop, the addict, the family settling a blood debt. None of them is a stranger for long.
• Access the Rumor Mill – Gather rumors in the speakeasy between shifts and use what you overhear to catch the liars at your desk.
• A New Day Dawns – Watch the world open on day eleven when a strange new currency starts crossing your desk.

For more updates, wishlist The Money Man on Steam. Interested players can also be the first to sit at the desk in an upcoming playtest.

Take the role of an immortal starship pilot sent to investigate the ruins of a fallen empire.

Seattle, United States, 11 August 2026 | Indie developer Codex Interactive is excited to announce that their debut title, Omen, is out now on Steam. In this top-down sci-fi extraction shooter, players will explore and loot the war-torn remains of a fallen galactic empire while shoring up a defensive front to combat waves of lurking pirates, opportunistic traitors, and savage cultists. 

Galaxy-Wide Calamity
Humanity has been reduced to a post-apocalyptic expanse of broken space stations and nomadic ships. Take on the role of an Astral, an immortal starship pilot whose job is to investigate The Veil, a cosmic anomaly hailed by an army of cultists set on inciting a total war to claim power. Amidst this macabre backdrop, Omen challenges players to root out the forces of the Veil, raid their bases, defend against retaliatory infiltration, and ally with the resistance to recenter the remaining threads of humanity.

Rebuild the Monastery
Omen combines base defense combat, ship customization, item crafting, and extraction looter elements for a cross-genre gameplay experience. At the start of the game, you come across the remains of a derelict monastery suitable enough to use as your base. With the Monastery as your hub, interact with local NPCs to claim missions, customize your ship, and build new weapons for your future raids. It is a prime target for the forces of the Veil, so it’s essential to build out its defenses to survive the brutal waves of enemy onslaught.

A Futile, Four-Part Saga
Every region of the Samarin Empire has unique challenges, quests, and loot. Discover Omen’s four-act structure as you delve further into the burning remains of a once-great civilization. Each act, complete with its own set of questlines, mini-objectives, and loot drops, ends with a high-octane boss battle to test your upgraded weaponry, tactics, and skills. Battle through military bases, secret research facilities, and the Empire’s capital city before reaching The Veil. Secure final weaponry upgrades and team up with new allies to face the abominations of this otherworldly dimension. Do you have what it takes to overcome The Veil for good?

Gameplay Features

• Base Defense Gameplay: Hordes of pirates, a legion of traitors, and an armada of cultists want you dead. Craft a variety of defensive structures and expand your base to withstand retaliatory enemy raids. 
• Extraction Shooter: Select a mission to complete allies’ objectives and extract valuable resources; if the enemy response fleet arrives, quickly stage your exit or be prepared to face powerful capital ships.
• Four Act Saga: Uncover the truth behind The Veil across four distinct story arcs against a cosmic backdrop of Lovecraftian-styled myth. Each Act features a unique enemy faction and culminates in an epic boss battle. 
• Over 80 Items and Upgrades: Collect loot from enemy bases, select from a variety of ship hulls, and build a combination of over 80 weapons, defensive structures, abilities, and utility items. There are hundreds of different possible loadouts, each with unique strengths and drawbacks.

Omen is now available for PC on Steam. Players can join the Discord to take part in the Omen community while staying up to date with launch announcements and future patches. For more information about Codex Interactive, please visit their website.

You can finally start that sword collection you’ve been talking about.

[August 11, 2026] – The day has arrived for the savior of Armorial to banish the corruption from whence it came with his trusty…shark? Swordcery is available now in Early Access with an arsenal of spellbound blades you won’t find anywhere else. Hack and slash your way to victory as Colt, utilizing traditional swords, ones that can call upon the elements, or others that are creatures with minds of their own! Each sword is unique, telling its own story and serving its own purpose on its way to saving Armorial.

From Temple Door Games, a duo who helped create 2018’s God of War cinematics, Swordcery is a roguelike ARPG with whimsy, intensity, and swords galore. Discover new blades to wield and upgrades to obtain with each run, allowing you to adjust your playstyle or improve your methods. With countless swords to collect and procedurally generated dungeons to conquer, how Colt saves Armorial is up to you!

Key Features:

• Fight the Corruption: A giant blade has plunged into Armorial, bringing a hail of smaller blades along with it. The calamitous sword seems to be draining the power of the Armorial itself, and with each passing day, the rain of swords grows heavier and heavier. To undo this vile corruption, you’ll play as Colt, an unwitting hero who has gained the ability to wield the fallen blades. It’s time to make a stand against the Celestial evil that seeks to destroy the kingdom.
• Unleash the Power of Spellbound Blades: As you venture forth, each new sword you find will come with a unique ability, aka its Swordcery. These abilities allow you to perform magical feats like hurling your sword out in a boomerang-like fashion, thundering down as a bolt of lightning, trapping enemies in a cardboard box, summoning ice cubes from a sword-fridgerator, launching tasty ingredients from a kabob rapier, and so much more!
• Master the Blades: Every blade you find is categorized into a Sword Class, which has its own set of offensive maneuvers. From specific combos to unique abilities, each Sword Class may be more advantageous due to the terrain or combat situation. It is up to you to master and acknowledge which Sword Class’ attributes and attacks will work in unison along with your mighty Swordcery abilities.
• Forged for Replayability: Each new run, you can expect to discover new swords, find various relics to add to your playstyle, choose new sword class upgrades, and trek through procedurally generated dungeons. 

Experience Swordcery in Early Access on Steam now and join the Discord to chat it up with other heroes about their favorite deadly, magical, and wacky blades they’re using to save Armorial!

PRE-ORDERS ARE LIVE NOW, GUARANTEEING ACCESS TO THE 21–23 AUGUST CLOSED BETA, AS BULKHEAD’S 100-PLAYER, THREE-TEAM TACTICAL FPS SURPASSES 800,000 STEAM WISHLISTS

Derby, UK – [11 August, 2026] – BULKHEAD and Team17 have announced that WARDOGS will launch into Steam Early Access on 10 September 2026, with pre-orders available on Steam now.

Every player who pre-orders WARDOGS will receive guaranteed access to the upcoming Closed Beta Weekend, taking place from 21–23 August. The beta will give players the opportunity to experience the game ahead of its Early Access launch and put its large-scale warfare, servers and core systems through their paces.

Pre-order WARDOGS on Steam now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1867240/WARDOGS/

To mark the announcement, BULKHEAD has also released a candid new video outlining 10 reasons NOT to buy WARDOGS, covering everything from Early Access content, pricing and performance to monetisation, controller support and the high-stakes consequences of every decision players make in-game. 

WARDOGS has now passed 800,000 wishlists on Steam, building on the response to its recent gameplay reveals and closed testing weekends.

At the centre of WARDOGS is the high-stakes Control Zone, where 100 players split across three rival teams fight to take control, secure cash and survive long enough to bank it.

WARDOGS combines tactical gunplay, combined-arms combat, construction, destruction and large-scale team play. Every death, vehicle purchase, journey and decision has a consequence, with every outcome reflected in the player’s account balance. Cash is not simply a score. It determines the risks players can take, the equipment and vehicles available to them and how much they stand to lose.

At Early Access launch, players will fight across three maps, each featuring three different variations, alongside a mix of infantry and vehicle combat. Local voice chat can also be heard across all three teams, creating unpredictable encounters between allies and enemies throughout each match.

“Taking pre-orders for an Early Access game is unusual, and we know some people will question it,” said Joe Brammer, CEO at BULKHEAD. “But WARDOGS has never been about playing it safe. Rather than asking players to take our word for it, every pre-order includes access to the Closed Beta, so they can get hands-on, see exactly where the game is today and make up their own minds. If they play it and decide it is not for them, that is completely fair.” 

“WARDOGS is ambitious, rough around the edges and still has a long way to go, but that is exactly what Early Access should be. We are putting the game in players’ hands, listening to what they tell us and taking the risks needed to turn it into something that can last.” 

WARDOGS will enter Early Access at $39.99 USD. Rather than charging the planned full-release price before every major feature has been delivered, BULKHEAD is introducing a stepped pricing model designed to reward players who support the game earlier in development.

During Early Access, the development team will prioritise stability, performance, balancing, bug fixes and the most important points raised by the community. BULKHEAD will also continue working towards the wider meta game and long-term systems planned for the full 1.0 release.

The studio has committed to having no in-game monetisation during Early Access, with the sole exception of an optional Supporters Edition containing cosmetic items for players who want to show additional support for the project. In-game cash, gold bars and status-based camouflage will not be available for purchase.

The Closed Beta Weekend begins on 21 August and concludes on 23 August. Access is guaranteed with every Steam pre-order.

WARDOGS launches into Steam Early Access on 10 September 2026.

Busan is worth defending. Its streets have survived Omnic attacks, its skyline has become one of Overwatch’s most recognisable battlegrounds, and the MEKA Squad has spent years standing between the city and the next catastrophe.

Our next season is built around the moments that make Overwatch special: trusting your team and rising to meet any occasion together.

Introducing D.Mon 

D.Mon is coming at Season 4 launch, and she’s bringing her sword, shield, and a whole lot of MEKA muscle to the Tank roster. When the Junkers attack Busan and Talon infiltrate the MEKA base, D.Mon puts protecting the city first and rallies the resisting force around her. Time to MEKA Squad up!

Battle Pass Revamp

The Overwatch Battle Pass has come a long way, but Season 4 is set to deliver the biggest update yet. Instead of working through a fixed order, you’ll choose which Legendary skin you want to pursue first after completing an introductory track, so you can prioritise the things you want most. Topped off with a refreshed interface that makes things easier to follow, the Battle Pass Revamp will put more choice into your hands and reward the way that you actually want to play. For a deeper detailed dive, check out our Director’s Take!

Familiar Battlegrounds Refreshed

Busan will now bear the scars of the Junker assault and Talon’s attack on the MEKA base. Elsewhere, Paraíso will be getting ready to party, filling the streets with colourful decoration despite Domina looming over the city (figuratively and literally as a giant statue). Eichenwalde will also open new routes and traversal options. 

New In Combat Feedback Features

The difference between winning and losing often comes down to information. In Combat Feedback features will set you up for success with a new Team Status Indicator, a Tank Hero Protect stat that identifies life-saving mitigation, multi-kill icons that celebrate a proper streak, clearer healing recognition, and damage contribution in the Activity Feed.

New Skins for Genji and Sojourn

Plus, don’t miss these epic events! 

Shooting Star: My MEKA Mania!

The three-week Shooting Star: My MEKA Mania game show event will put the whole squad in the spotlight and let you put your support behind who you believe in. This is more than just the MEKA Squad’s story. Now it’s yours, too. Go all in on MEKA Mania, 12 to 31 August AEST!

World Cheer Cup Rally

The road to the Overwatch World Cup Finals started long before the first match at BlizzCon, and now you can help cheer your favourites all the way there! From 2 to 14 September AEST, the World Cup Cheer Rally event will let you celebrate ten years of unforgettable Overwatch esports by supporting the conference you call home.

Busan is calling, the MEKA Squad is ready, and D.Mon is coming.

Bring your friends and bring out the Hero in each other on the battlefield when Season 4 launches tomorrow! 

More information on the new season of Overwatch can be found in the blog here.
