Armed with angelic powers, enter hell itself and face intense monsters from below!
Istanbul, Turkey – July 16th, 2025 – Istanbul-based indie developer Tale Era Interactive has today announced that their hotly anticipated fast-paced roguelike first-person shooter Holy Shoot will be launching into Early Access on Steam on July 30th, 2025. Experience the action first-hand and become a member of The Sanctum, in an epic quest to defeat powerful demons personifying the Seven Deadly Sins.
Holy Shoot is a fast-paced roguelite action FPS set in a satirical version of Hell, where you join The Order of the Sanctum to reclaim seven ancient relics from demon lords embodying the Seven Deadly Sins. Pick your hero, upgrade your build, and blast your way through chaos, sin, and hellfire…
“At Tale Era Interactive, we love creating games that feel unexpected, punchy, and full of character,” said Erhan Taskin, CEO at Tale Era Interactive. “Holy Shoot is the result of months of testing, failing, and laughing our way to something that finally clicked. Launching on Early Access lets us bring the community into that process and build the ultimate version of the game together!”
Key features include:
Roguelite Mechanics: Procedurally generated levels, scaling difficulty, and randomized loot.
Dynamic Combat: Tactical room-based objectives and combat encounters that demand quick reflexes and strategic thinking.
Innovative Gameplay Elements: A robust upgrade system, elemental powers, and environmental interactions, all wrapped in a distinct art style and offbeat comedic tone.
Persistent Progression: Upgrade and evolve through a central hub known as the Sanctum.
Tale Era Interactive is a passionate team of game developers and storytellers committed to transforming imaginative narratives into unforgettable gaming experiences. Their flagship title, Holy Shoot, was developed with care (and plenty of coffee) using Unreal Engine. With many more projects on the horizon, Tale Era Interactive is just getting started.
Dedicated to building immersive, entertaining worlds, the team draws on a deep love of gaming that spans generations – from veterans who’ve been playing since the late 1970s to newer voices born in the 21st century. Tale Era Interactive aims to create games that players will enjoy for years to come.

New Beachside Homestead Plot and Elite Specializations Provide Launch Pad for Setting Sail to Undiscovered Lands of Castora
BELLEVUE, WA – July 15, 2025 – Today developer ArenaNet® announced Guild Wars 2®: Visions of Eternity™, the sixth expansion for the award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Releasing on October 28, 2025, Visions of Eternity will offer a suite of new content and features for established and new players alike, including a new Homestead plot, new and upgraded abilities for the skimmer mount, an all-new story set in the island realm of Castora, two new explorable maps, and a new elite specialization for all nine of the game’s playable professions.
The new Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity trailer can be viewed below.
Visions of Eternity will go on sale for $24.99 and, like its predecessor Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds™, have three planned major updates scheduled for release throughout 2026. Launch day will open two new maps on the island of Castora, a heretofore unvisited part of Tyria and home to ancient magics that have warped the local flora and fauna in stunning ways. Amidst this enigmatic new land, players will be able to explore new build options for their characters as each of the game’s professions can earn a new elite specialization with a collection of new traits and utility skills that will further increase the game’s already staggering amount of gameplay customization options. The skimmer mount, already a master of aquatic environments, can develop new capabilities through one of three new mastery lines associated with Castora.
The Homestead system introduced in Janthir Wilds is being extended in Visions of Eternity.A new plot for players’ homesteads will be available on the sunny beaches of Castora. The expansion’s Homestead Layout feature will allow players to easily and quickly share their customized space with others, allowing a perfect duplicate of a construction so long as a player has the requisite decorations. Whether they want to live in the wintery vales of Janthir or among the waves of a new island paradise, a player can choose which of their homestead plots is active at any time and use Layouts to easily restore their favorite looks.
The three planned major future updates will launch at no additional charge and continue to add new experiences: two additional maps, new Raid Encounters, a new Convergence, new rewards (including new earnable items in the Wizard’s Vault), two extensions of the storyline, new legendary gear, and more will arrive in 2026.
Visions of Eternity’s new story begins with rumors of an island fabled by the seafarers of Tyria, rich with magic and ley energy. Word arrives to the Tyrian Alliance that the Inquest, a conniving krewe of asuran technology researchers, has been in search of that island, Castora—and when the Inquest start sneaking around, it spells danger for the rest of Tyria. Together with those allies willing to brave a voyage into the unknown, the Commander sets off in the hopes of discovering what the Inquest’s goals are—and stopping them before it’s too late.
“Visions of Eternity continues our commitment to major yearly content expansions,” said Josh Davis, Guild Wars 2 Game Director. “Over a decade into the game’s life, we’re making improvements and enhancements to game modes and systems, expanding the horizon of Guild Wars 2’s gameplay. This expansion is offering up more elite specializations to further grow the possibilities for player customization and gameplay while becoming more seamlessly accessible across game modes and activities.”
A wealth of newfeatures, activities, and storylines open up new possibilities for play:
New maps: Two new explorable maps will be available on October 28, with a third and fourth to follow in future updates.
Elite Specializations: A new swath of character build options arrives to provide even more gameplay possibilities. Each new elite specialization offers new utility skills and traits for players to discover and hone their preferred play style across the broad range of the game’s nine character professions. Anyone with a Guild Wars 2 account can partake in a beta to try out the new elite specializations August 20-27.
New and improved Skimmer: Dive into the sea with improved exploration and combat abilities on the skimmer. The skimmer updates represent one of three new mastery lines tied to the region of Castora.
New Raid Encounters and group content: The magically-infused landscape of the island is home to all manner of warped and twisted wildlife, which will provide groups of 10 players their ultimate challenge in instanced PvE content, coming in future updates.
New Homestead plot: By turning the wreckage of an island shipwreck into a fantabulous beachside home, decorators will have full control over the furniture, structure, and accessories in their cozy new paradise. Homestead Layouts can be shared with other players, giving characters instant access to their friends’ best designs so long as they have the required decorations.
New Legendary Gear: A legendary weapon and legendary acquabreather at launch will be joined later by a legendary ring, legendary accessory, and another legendary weapon in later releases. These, along with a host of new armor and weapon sets and new Wizards Vault rewards will bring a decidedly magic island vibe to the adventure.

Over the course of this epic journey, you will cross paths with colourful characters like the Royal Sisters and the terrifying Crystal Bowie – Cobra’s nemesis.

With Cobra’s superhuman abilities, you will need to relentlessly run, jump and climb, and make sure you use all the means at your disposal to take out your enemies.
EQUIPPED TO THE NINES: Master Cobra’s iconic weapons, such as the awesome Psychogun and the Colt Python 77, to destroy the opponents on your heels, as well as his famous gadgets like the cigar and the grappling hook. You will need all of your arsenal to defeat the powerful bosses standing in your way.
SOLO AND MULTIPLAYER MODES: Explore story mode by choosing from the 3 difficulty levels, allowing veterans of the genre to take on a challenge worthy of their skills, while those who simply want to enjoy the story can play without major obstacles.
