FARMING SIMULATOR 25 GETS THE FUN-KIND OF FISHY WITH THE HIGHLANDS FISHING EXPANSION!

Farming Simulator 25: Highlands Fishing grants the popular series by publisher & developer GIANTS Software another requested form of farming: aquaculture. Available as Expansion and Edition (bundled with the main game), Highlands Fishing invites players to build a farm and man a fishing boat in the Scotland-inspired town of Kinlaig – a lush paradise of rolling green hills and open water.

Kinlaig: A Wind-Bitten Environment

Rocky valleys, covered with rough grass and overcast by clouds that stretch far out to sea: Kinlaig, inspired by the Scottish Highlands, prompts farmers and aquaculturists to put to sea and plow the soil in an environment rich with history, enjoying authentic architecture like century-old castles as well as new construction projects.

Diving into Aquaculture, Fishing on the Shore

Fishing both on land and at sea enables aquafarmers to breed, raise, and harvest a variety of fish. Venturing out onto the water offers a new productive way to gather resources and another peaceful escape in addition to fields, forests, and stables. Casual shore fishing, rod in hand, rounds out the peaceful image of life by the water.

Onions, Fish & Highland Cattle

While salmon and rainbow trout populate the salty waters of Kinlaig, a new crop becomes available to grow on the land: Onions. Specialized equipment is included in the expansion and the fleet of vehicles and implements grows with four new brands and over 20 new machines. Manufacturers Monosem, Can-Am, Agri- Spread & GT Bunning join the series.

Farming Simulator 25 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Year 1 Season Pass is obtainable and includes three packs and the Highlands Fishing Expansion – fans save up to 25% compared to getting the content separately.

BANDAI NAMCO CELEBRATES 30 YEARS OF ACE COMBAT

June 30 Commemorates 30 Years of High-Octane Dogfights from the Legendary Flight Combat Series with more than 20 million Units Sold Worldwide

The ACE COMBAT Series began 30 years ago today with the PlayStation launch of Air Combat.  Debuting on the original PlayStation console, the game laid the groundwork for a sprawling series that brings hyper-realistic aerial combat and intense military-drama storytelling to players around the globe, having recently surpassed the 20 million cumulative sales milestone.
To mark the occasion, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe will begin celebrations with a series commemorative trailer.

ACE COMBAT Series brand director Kazutoki Kono also has a direct message to convey to series fans in honor of the 30th anniversary:

Since the release of the first title in 1995, thanks to your unwavering support, the ACE COMBAT Series has reached a remarkable milestone, its 30th anniversary in 2025.

First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all our fans and everyone involved who has supported the series throughout the years. Thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. This moment is our chance to return thirty years’ worth of appreciation to you.

I believe that sustaining a legacy over three decades means far more than simply the passage of time. I’ve always shared this message with everyone involved in the series: “To deliver emotionally resonant, high-quality experiences that exceed expectations, to spark excitement for what comes next—and then to meet that anticipation with even greater ambition. By continuing this cycle, we build a bond of trust with our players, and that bond is the truest expression of our gratitude.”

Over the past thirty years, times have changed. Values have shifted and technologies have evolved. Our company and our team have continually transformed to navigate these tides. In a word, we’ve embraced change.

There were times we may not have fully met your expectations. But I also believe there were moments when we exceeded them—when we soared higher than anyone imagined.

Namco’s founder, Masaya Nakamura, once said, “Only those who can adapt to change will survive.” I joined Namco in 1994. Back then, I understood those words intellectually—but not yet from experience.

Now, I truly do.

After three incredible decades of adapting to change, we’ve built an enduring bond of trust with all of you. That connection is the very force that has sustained the ACE COMBAT Series and propelled it into the future. I can now feel this truth in every fiber of my being. And I’m proud—proud that our ongoing commitment to delivering value and earning your trust has led us to this 30th anniversary.

And now, we’re ready. Everything is in place. It’s time to take flight once again—toward even greater heights.

Kazutoki Kono, Brand director of ACE COMBAT Series

With the help of Bandai Namco Game Music, the “ACE COMBAT Original Soundtrack” is now available on major streaming services and for digital downloads, curating 19 tracks from the series’ history. More is planned, including refreshed social channels.

Stop Time, Start Blasting: Hyper-Fast Roguelite FPS “Gunstoppable” Launches Steam Demo Today

The first public demo for Gunstoppable, the momentum-based, fast-paced roguelite boomer shooter from a former Sony Santa Monica developer now leading CAGE Studios, launches today on PC via Steam

Profiteering warlords transformed soldiers into killing machines, but the collateral damage of pointless wars eradicated the wrong soldier’s family.  Seek vengeance against the elites living in a dystopian cyberpunk cityscape as a gun-wielding gladiator with little to lose. Show the architects of never-ending brutality the true meaning of suffering and save the scorned soldier’s last remaining blood relative along the way.

More speed means greater firepower — build momentum while dodging enemy fire with a combination of dashes, grapple-hook swings, and wallruns. Unleash that pent-up rage and speed while in motion for exponential explosive potential.  Mix and match the caliber of artillery for every situation. Pierce robots right through the power supply with a katana in one hand while dealing damage at distance with crossbows, handguns, and rocket launchers in the other. Pause reality in Reaper Mode to unload a world of pain in the blink of an eye.

Prefer an icy crossbow-katana combo? Perhaps a fiery shotgun and rocket launcher? Try out near-limitless combinations, and unlock modifiers after every death to enhance combat abilities.  Experiment with boomerang banana bullets, add bullet-time blasts to any weapon, and slot attachments into a hex-based grid to craft a custom loadout for every run.

Download the demo today on Steam! For more information and the latest updates, follow CAGE Studios on Discord, TikTok, and Instagram.
