With version 1.1, a new threat emerges in Nata Valley that will test your determination and resolve

Oberhaching, Germany, June 25, 2025 – Developer Superkami and Publisher Toplitz Productions jointly announce that the next major content update for their genre-blend Sengoku Dynasty is now available.

Since its release in Early Access, the mix of life-sim, settlement builder, survival adventure and action underwent a slow transformation with a plethora of meaningful updates, based on both the extensive roadmap as well as the invaluable player feedback. The new content pack ‘Bushidō’, updating the game to version 1.1,  is no exception and delivers a new threat to the Nata Valley in the form of raids by various villainous factions. However, since Sengoku Dynasty wants to cater to the players’ gameplay preferences as much as possible, raids can be deactivated as well, if a more peaceful experience is preferred.

But what are raids? Bandits will not only roam the area or inhabit small camps. They will eventually start to attack your villages, try to capture your bell tower and ransack your dynasty storage. So set up your defenses, employ guards and make sure that your villagers are safe – or at least that you can catch the raiders and reclaim the loot before they disappear.

While you can minimize the risk by attacking and destroying bandit camps on your expeditions into the scenic world of Sengoku Dynasty, you can never be fully safe. Thankfully, rumors spread fast in Nata Valley, so you will hear of an upcoming attack with enough time to prepare your defensive tactics.

Additionally the ‘Bushidō’ update includes a wide variety of bug fixes, enhancements and quality-of-life improvements to make the player’s journey through Sengoku Dynasty a truly memorable one. For the full patch notes please visit the official Steam product page.

Sengoku Dynasty is available for PC on Steam, GOG.com and the Epic Games Store. Console versions are in development and slated for release this Summer.

Following the success of the Planet Earth III and Frozen Planet II Minecraft Worlds, BBC Earth and Minecraft Education are teaming up once again to engage millions of players globally with a new gaming adventure: Building With Dinosaurs.

Over twenty-five years ago, the BBC released one of its most beloved original series, Walking With Dinosaurs. Now, a new generation of fans can experience the dino-drama for themselves inspired by the most recent science and discoveries! To celebrate the 2025 return of Walking With Dinosaurs, Minecraft Education and BBC Earth have come together to create Building With Dinosaurs, a dino-themed build challenge that puts students in the role of paleontologists, digging away dirt and sand to discover the dino-blocks beneath their feet.

Just like the paleontologists in Walking With Dinosaurs, students will build their understanding of prehistoric creatures from the ground up. After digging to discover dino-blocks representing different types of skin, eyes, and teeth, they’ll use their finds to create models of three dinosaurs featured in the series: Spinosaurus, Lusotitan, and Triceratops.

Using detailed skeletons as guides, students are free to build their own versions of these stunning dinosaurs in the museum gallery. As they uncover more dino-blocks, they’ll be able to add even more impressive details to their models. And once they’re complete, students can photograph their dinosaur models in front of various immersive environments for an epic dino photo shoot – say cheese, Spinosaurus!

To support the curiosity of young paleontologists-in-training, the Building With Dinosaurs build challenge is accompanied by a downloadable fact sheet that includes three of the dinosaurs featured in the game. The fact sheet provides additional information such as the height, weight, diet, and habitat of each dinosaur, helping students to better understand these amazing creatures and build their models as accurately as possible.

Kirsty Wilson, Showrunnerfor Walking With Dinosaurs said: “We’re proud to team up with Minecraft Education to give children around the world the chance to interact with iconic dino characters inspired by Walking with Dinosaurs. This interactive classroom gaming experience lets students step into the world of dinosaurs in a fun and engaging way, learning how these incredible creatures lived and ruled the Earth millions of years ago.”

Justin Edwards, Director of Learning Experience, Minecraft Education said:‘Minecraft Education is delighted to bring this amazing dinosaur experience to students. This world, created in partnership with the BBC Studios Walking With Dinosaurs team, brings STEM skills into classrooms by creating a deeper connection with the world of palaeontology, and natural history. We know that dinosaur fans are going to love it!‘

Minecraft Education provides educational content for schools globally where students can learn about a wide variety of subjects via creative gameplay.

If you’re Interested in more Minecraft Education lessons that use game-based learning to bring environmental and ecological science to life in your classroom, then check out our other BBC Earth partnerships, Planet Earth III and Frozen Planet II, or explore our full science offerings!

The plot chickens in this hilarious, high-stakes heist game based on the iconic Chicken Run franchise

Outright Games, the leading publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, are excited to announce that they are working with Aardman, the multi-award-winning independent animation studio behind Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, to release the upcoming action-stealth video game Chicken Run: Eggstraction. Based on the iconic Chicken Run franchise, this top-down, heist game picks up where Aardman’s 2023 film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget left off, as the gang works together to save chicken-kind. Chicken Run: Eggstraction will launch on October 17, 2025, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Microsoft Store.

Chicken Run: Eggstraction follows the film Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, with an exciting new story that continues the adventures of its feathered heroes as they work to save chickens from the evil nugget industry, where chicken-kind is still in danger! Take control of the Chicken Run characters, and embark on a mission to infiltrate five fortified farms and liberate the captive chickens. But beware, there are plenty of eggstra security measures in place that players will need to overcome to lead these fowl to freedom. From avoiding watchful security cameras and hawkeyed humans to hiding in traffic cones, players will be tested on their stealth, skills and strategy. Equipped for up to two players in local co-op, players can tackle this high-octane adventure alone, or team up with a friend to hatch a plan for success.

Reprising their roles from Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, Bella Ramsey and Josie Sedgwick-Davies return to voice Molly and Frizzle in Chicken Run: Eggstraction. Written by Larry Rickard, one of Dawn of the Nugget’s contributors, players will discover new loopy poultry villains, along with a surprise cameo from the latest Wallace & Gromit film to spot. Building on the success from Dawn of the Nugget, which garnered millions of views and hit the Global Top 10, Chicken Run: Eggstraction gives fans and families a captivating new story and exciting gameplay, all bound to ruffle some feathers!

Sean Clarke, Managing Director at Aardman says, “We are delighted to be working with Outright Games to bring a new Chicken Run adventure to the gaming community. Developing a game of this scale has been an exciting endeavour and has been a fantastic opportunity to expand the Chicken Run universe and continue building the brand in new and engaging ways for fans old and new.”

“We’re incredibly excited to be working with Aardman on the release of Chicken Run: Eggstraction, and the first Chicken Run video game in 25 years” said Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games. “Aardman’s style is so distinct, and it’s been amazing to see how they’ve adapted it for a video game. We cannot wait for fans of all ages to explore this new chapter in the Chicken Run story, and to see how they can wing it through the chaos that awaits them.”

Chicken Run: Eggstraction will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on October 17, 2025. For more information, please visit OutrightGames.com.

• Project Motor Racing launches November 25th, 2025 on PC & Consoles
• GIANTS Engine allows full mod support on day one, across all platforms
• Pre-orders now open on PC, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S

Project Motor Racing, the ultra-authentic racing sim from publisher GIANTS Software and developer Straight4 Studios, will hit the track on November 25th. Announcing the release date for PC and consoles, the joint genre leaders also start pre-orders alongside new impressions and information – first and foremost, the confirmation of full-fledged mod support.

Modding, the GIANTS Way

With the launch announcement comes the exciting news of premiere level modding within the world of racing simulation: Thanks to the proven GIANTS Engine, the team confirms full mod support from day one, across all platforms.

Using the official GIANTS Editor, all user-generated content can be submitted through the in-game UGC-Portal, where every mod is tested by the developers before being made available for download. “Project Motor Racing taps into the same powerhouse modding ecosystem as Farming Simulator,” says Boris Stefan, CSO & Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software. “Racing modders will be able to tweak, tune, and transform their experience however they like.”

With over 4.5 billion downloads via the existing ModHub and a decade-long reputation for fostering creative communities, GIANTS Software brings its unrivaled modding heritage to the racing world, allowing racers to supercharge their experience in Project Motor Racing through user-generated content.

No Compromises for Racing Enthusiasts

Even without mods, the team at Straight4 aims for a full-throttle feature-set to satisfy the most demanding sim-racers, whether they prefer a challenging Single Player Career Mode or adrenaline-boosted Online Racing. “The driving physics are key, of course, but the sim is built around racing,” says Straight4’s Game Design Director, Austin Ogonoski.

In Project Motor Racing’s Single Player Career Mode, racers will need to negotiate their way through the cutthroat world of pro motorsports where the pressure not only to perform but to survive from one race to the next is key. Will they risk their car for a shot at glory, or will they play it safe and race another day?

“We wanted to capture the harsh reality of pro motorsport: Budgets. Repairs. Sponsors. Failed overtakes that don’t just wreck your car but your whole season… Your career in Project Motor Racing is motorsport with consequences,” Austin adds.

Creating an Authentic Experience

Racers can look forward to 70+ meticulously recreated cars across 10 iconic racing classes, including LMDh, GT3, and historic legends, 27 scanned track layouts for pinpoint realism (including dynamic weather and full day/night cycles), and unmatched driving physics powered by a blistering 720 Hz simulation engine, and more.

Project Motor Racing will be released on November 25th for PC, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders are available now on selected channels – including the bonus GTE Decade Pack.

Following a successful Steam Next Fest demo earlier this month, with the FROSTHAVEN demo earning a spot in Steam’s 50 Most-Played Steam Next Fest Demos list, Arc Games and Snapshot Games have announced the launch of a new “Character Spotlight” series for FROSTHAVEN, the dark fantasy tactical RPG based on the highly acclaimed board game of the same name that will enter Early Access this year.

ABOUT FROSTHAVEN

From the creative mind of Isaac Childres, the highly acclaimed board game moves to the digital realm in the video game adaptation of FROSTHAVEN. An evolution of the FROSTHAVEN board game experience, the dark fantasy tactical RPG serves as a spiritual successor to Gloomhaven and is developed by Snapshot Games. Players can expect deep mechanics and challenging yet immensely satisfying gameplay both in single player and co-op online multiplayer. Seasoned veterans of the original board game or Gloomhaven will feel right at home venturing into the unforgiving and treacherous northern frontier of FROSTHAVEN. Newcomers can start their first adventure with difficulty modes tailored to their skill level. Improved UX and quality-of-life features will ensure all players can enjoy their experience. 

With FROSTHAVEN, the brand-new character classes, each featuring unique playstyles and abilities, make it so that every decision matters. Players will need to balance risk and reward, working towards the best synergies between the classes comprising their party. Carefully managing resources is paramount to progress through a gripping campaign, set in a vast world filled with menacing enemies and diverse environments.

PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions exploding onto the scene later this year

Urbana, Illinois – 24 June 2025: This one’s coming in like a wrecking ball! Instruments of Destruction, the explosive physics playground from legendary one-person developer Radiangames, is today smashing everything in its path to become a part of Secret Mode’s growing catalogue of independently published games.

Originally released on PC in May 2024, Instruments of Destruction is primarily the work of Luke Schneider, founder of Radiangames and former Lead Technical Designer on open-world destruction hit Red Faction: Guerilla. Instruments of Destruction sees you take on the role of a new member of Sharpe Industries, a company who specialises in one thing – building giant machines and using them to wreak havoc in a spectacular physics-based, highly-destructible world.

Take on 50 carnage-filled challenges in the main campaign using pre-built machines to complete a variety of increasingly tough tasks, before learning the ropes of demolition design in 25 Build & Destroy missions using your own custom-built vehicles. Then take all your experience into the Sandbox, where you’ll build your own mechanical monsters and cause chaos on customisable islands with a single objective: destroy!

This explosive news has set off a chain reaction leading to the launch of Instruments of Destruction on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year. Expect all the same content as the PC version – including full vehicle customisation – with optimisations for the target platforms.

About Instruments of Destruction

Crash through walls and tear down buildings in Instruments of Destruction, a vehicle-action game featuring advanced physics-based demolition. Pilot 130+ unique vehicles across scores of challenge-packed missions or design your own contraptions and wreck highly-interactive sandbox worlds.

The game will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S later in 2025.
