MONTRÉAL – July 8, 2025 – Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight is back with another Chapter, this time based on the smash hit television series, AMC’s The Walking Dead. This all-new Chapter adds two iconic characters – Rick Grimes and Michonne – as Survivors, with a Legendary Outfit from The Walking Dead Collection that brings Daryl Dixon into the action.

With six unique character Perks that emphasize teamwork, and original voice acting from Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon), this is an epic addition to The Fog for series fans and newcomers alike.

Rick Grimes Is Here

Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead includes the one and only Rick Grimes. Having forged a life through the harshest of circumstances, the former sheriff’s deputy is no stranger to violence and horror. Yet despite his countless brushes with death and being constantly pushed beyond his limits, his mercy prevails over his wrath.

Having been swept into The Fog following a heroic sacrifice to save his community, Rick’s survival experience makes him an incredible asset. A natural leader, his willingness to do what needs to be done is reflected in his three character-specific Perks:

• Apocalyptic Ingenuity: Rummage through Chests to gain the ability to replace a Broken Pallet with a Fragile Pallet.
• Come and Get Me!: After Unhooking a Survivor, while crouched and idle you may use an Ability to make all nearby injured and dying Survivors completely silent and hide their Pools of Blood. In exchange, you’ll scream and briefly reveal your Aura to the Killer.
• Teamwork: Toughen Up: When another nearby Survivor Pallet stuns or blinds the Killer while you’re injured, your Grunts of Pain, Scratch Marks, and Pools of Blood will be completely reduced for a duration.

Michonne Has Your Back

Arriving alongside her husband is the fierce and compassionate Michonne. As steady as the hand that wields her iconic sword, Michonne represents the quintessential survivor. Her conviction never wavers, no matter what lies in her path or when the odds appear insurmountable.

Following Rick’s heroic sacrifice, Michonne couldn’t shake the feeling that he was still out there, so she set out on a quest to find him. Everything changed when she heard his voice calling out from a veil of Black Fog. She followed it until she emerged in a dark, moonlit clearing – beside a mysterious campfire…

Luckily, Michonne is no stranger to facing death, and her three unique character Perks showcase her survival instincts first-hand:

• Conviction: Heal Survivors to activate Conviction. While recovering in the Dying State, gain the ability to instantly recover for a brief window. You will become Broken and return to the Dying State if you don’t manage to heal in time.
• Last Stand: After spending in the Killer’s Terror Radius while not in chase, Fast-Vault while near the Killer to stun them for a duration.
• Teamwork: Throw Down: Successfully pallet stun a Killer to temporarily give nearby injured Survivors Endurance and reveal the Killer’s Aura to them

Daryl Joins the Fight

Arriving alongside the Chapter is The Walking Dead Collection, which includes several iconic Outfits from the series. One such Outfit is the Legendary Daryl Dixon Outfit, which brings Daryl into The Fog as a new character.

The Collection also features Rick’s Last Day On Earth Outfit, his Brutal Awakening Outfit, and several Uncommon recolors. Michonne receives her The Next World Outfit, her What We Become Outfit, and several Uncommon recolors.

Don’t Open. Dead Inside

Some of The Walking Dead’s most iconic settings have been recreated in a unique new Map Tile, which appears whenever Rick or Michonne are loaded into the Garden of Joy Map.

The Tile features elements from the prison – as seen in The Walking Dead’s third and fourth seasons – as well as the iconic “Don’t Open Dead Inside” hospital doors from the Pilot episode, “Days Gone Bye.” The entire tile has been corrupted by The Entity’s presence, creating an eerie mashup between the two horror worlds.

Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead is now available to play on PTB, with the full Chapter release on July 29.

Game Information Released Including New Characters and World Setting

TOKYO, JAPAN –  July 8th, 2025 – Tokyo-based publisher SHUEISHA GAMES, alongside acclaimed developer SIGONO, is proud to announce OPUS: Prism Peak, a single-player, magical realist, photography-driven adventure set to launch in Fall 2025 on Steam. 

In OPUS: Prism Peak, players step into the role of Eugene, a 40-year-old ex-photojournalist and café owner returning to his hometown. But a sudden accident detours his journey, transporting him into the Dusklands, a quiet, surreal world of fading light, fragile beauty, and hidden sorrow. His camera, long since set aside, is once again placed in his hands.

There, Eugene meets a mysterious young girl who remembers only one thing: she must return to a mountain deep within the Dusklands. With no clear way home, the two embark on a journey together, capturing fleeting moments, meeting curious spirits, and uncovering truths buried in the shadows.

As Eugene continues his journey, a towering, murky presence, stained in red and black looms ever closer. This haunting figure stalks the edges of his path, growing nearer as he unravels the truth. Players will use Eugene’s camera to document breathtaking landscapes, divine spirits, and decisive moments in a world where everything is fleeting. Photography is both a tool and a metaphor—preserving fragments of memory while learning to let go.

Character Details

• Eugene: Once a photojournalist, now a disillusioned man navigating loss and regret. Divorced and drifting, Eugene finds himself pulled into the Dusklands, where his journey through grief begins through the lens of a camera he had given up long ago.
• The Mysterious Girl: Playful yet empathetic, the girl Eugene meets in the Dusklands carries only a single memory, a yearning to return to the mountaintop. Her optimism serves as a foil to Eugene’s cynicism, guiding their shared path forward.

A World on the Brink: The Dusklands

The Dusklands is a realm between reality and reverie: ethereal, nostalgic, and slowly unraveling. As Eugene explores its forests, towns, and mountain trails, the land itself begins to crumble, revealing deeper truths beneath its calm surface.

Guiding him through this liminal world are a cast of enigmatic spirits, each reflecting a different emotion, memory, or lesson:

• Mystical Deer: A gentle, wise figure who gifts Eugene his camera and asks: “Show me whether you truly see this world for what it is.”
• Mystical Dog: Elegant and confident, she commands a train and offers guidance, though her demeanor toward Eugene remains icy.
• Mystical Goat: An elder traveler burdened with gear and nostalgia, recognizing something familiar in Eugene.
• Mystical Boar: Loud and affable, this train conductor lends charm and levity to the journey.
• Mystical Unicorn: A silent, elegant spirit shrouded in loneliness, observing from the edges of the path.

Each spirit provides insight, not just into the Dusklands, but into Eugene’s inner world.

About SIGONO

SIGONO is an indie game studio with a mission to create heartfelt experiences that connect people. Their OPUS series, which started with OPUS: The Day We Found Earth, has gained recognition for its touching stories and beautiful soundtracks, reaching a combined 10 million downloads.

July 8, 2025 – World of Tanks proudly introduces its latest Battle Pass Special: Heroes’ Paths, a thrilling tribute to the gaming legends Lara Croft and Duke Nukem. Running from July 10^th to July 21^st, this limited-time event features two unique Chapters, each themed around one of these iconic heroes and packed with exclusive content inspired by the Tomb Raider and Duke Nukem franchises. The heroes come to life through their acclaimed voice actors: Lara Croft’s lines are delivered by Keeley Hawes, renowned for her role in several classic Tomb Raider titles, while Duke Nukem’s iconic grit is brought back by Jon St. John, the unmistakable voice of the character since 1996.

The Heroes’ Paths offer 30 stages for Tomb Raider Chapter and 40 for Duke Nukem. Along the way, players will unlock themed 2D styles, decals, emblems, and exclusive crew members with zero perks — Lara Croft and Duke Nukem. At the end of every Improved Rewards track awaits the ultimate prize: a brand-new Premium vehicle designed to match the unique style of its hero. These tanks come with exclusive 3D styles, featuring visual elements inspired by their respective universes.

• For Lara Croft, it’s the IMT, a Tier VIII U.S. versatile medium tank. Sleek, swift, and deadly accurate — this machine reflects Lara’s cleverness and agility. The tank is outfitted with iconic gear such as a winch, a hook-tipped harpoon, cables, ropes, a hatchet, powerful spotlights, and a range of hand tools personally used by Lara — each reflecting her signature style from the games.
• For Duke, it’s the TS-6,a Tier IX U.S. assault heavy tank. A powerhouse of destruction, this tank mirrors Duke’s “all guns blazing” approach. It boasts a custom nuclear reactor, enhanced weapon systems, and aesthetic nods to Duke’s arsenal, including laser machine guns and grenade launchers. The tank’s design draws inspiration from classic Duke Nukem weapons such as the incinerator and fire extinguisher.

Players looking for the full thematic experience can opt for hero-themed bundles, packed with additional cosmetics, characters, and collectibles from Tomb Raider and Duke Nukem universes.

Complementing the action are two dynamic musical themes: a newly composed adventure track echoing Lara’s spirit, and the legendary “Grabbag” theme from Duke Nukem, composed by Lee Jackson.

Lara Croft and Duke Nukem blaze into World of Tanks with attitude, legacy, and firepower. Join the Heroes’ Paths and carve your way through the battlefield with legends by your side.

Critically Praised Platform Adventure Arrives on Consoles with a Brand-New ‘Challenges’ Mode and Optimized Gameplay

TONSBERG, NORWAY – JULY 8, 2025 – Independent game developers Rock Pocket Games and Lav Games announced today its action-adventure sci-fi metroidvania Somber Echoes is available now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox for $19.99 (a 20% discount). Following its successful debut on Steam, where it earned a ‘very positive’ user rating, the game now brings its acrobatic combat and mythic storytelling to a new audience, enhanced with console-specific optimizations and new content.

In Somber Echoes, players take on the role of Adrestia, a fallen tribune revived by a mysterious force and given a second chance to save the universe from her twin sister, Harmonia, now a mad architect of unmaking. Set aboard the derelict, Greco-Roman spaceship Atromitos, players must master god-like powers and fluid, acrobatic combat to explore a vast, decaying world, uncover ancient secrets, and carve their legacy into the bones of a dying world.

Somber Echoes Gameplay Features:

• A Modern Console Metroidvania: Action packed side-scrolling gameplay, ideal for console players. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 players will embark upon a haunting journey through seven distinct districts, looming with decay, ruin and an eerie beauty. Every dark corner hides a story.
• Greco-Roman  Story: Inspired by Greco-Roman mythos, and sci-fi visuals, players explore a wrecked spacecraft in deep space that is overrun by extra-dimensional horrors.
• Multiple Endings: Gameplay actions shape how the story ends, the more players explore and discover the entirety of the ship, the more choices there will be when deciding the fate of the Atromitos.
• Challenges Mode: A new way to experience Somber Echoes designed to extend gameplay and provide players with intense, skill-based objectives beyond the core story experience, including boss fight and puzzle challenges with more content planned for subsequent updates.

Somber Echoes is a Greco-Roman inspired sci-fi Metroidvania set within the shell  of the spacefaring vessel Atromitos, where divine ruin and cosmic rot intertwine. Awakened by primordial Gods and Goddesses, Adrestia ascends from ash and oblivion to hunt her twin sister Harmonia, now a mad architect of unmaking, through echoing halls and sanctums lost to time. Wield godlike wrath, uncover ancient sins, and carve your legacy into the bones of a dying world.
