Research into play and creativity

Master the art of mutant angling to survive top 100 most wishlisted unreleased game on Steam

NICOSIA, Cyprus – 16 Oct 2026 – DREADMOOR casts off onto PC via Steam Early Access on Monday, 9 Nov 2026. The dark first-person fishing adventure set in a post-apocalyptic world from developer Dream Dock and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment ranks in the top 100 most wishlisted games on Steam.

Marooned in the strange and cursed Submerged Lands, take the helm of a ricketyboat in hopes of escaping. Salvage wreckage and flotsam to repair the ship, then find a way to civilization, or the closest thing to it in a place like this: an ominous bait shop perched atop a set of monstrous crab legs. Armed with a rod, reel, and a few curious-looking lures, head back out onto the inky waters to catch the most twisted fish you’ve ever laid eyes on.

As captain, pilot the trawler through an ominous network of inlets and lakes to find the best spots for reeling in denizens of the deep. Master the art of a tactile fishing system, picking the right lures, and letting the line play out while waiting for just the right moment to reel in a monster. Carefully arrange each catch in the hold’s compartments – some fish are content to share space, while carnivorous sea creatures cannibalize profits, given the chance. 

Keep a weather eye on the ship’s hull and fuel. Use a handy grappling gun to haul in salvage found throughout this ruined world – one captain’s wreckage is another one’s upgrade. Return to the bait shop with a full hold and scavenged materials, and get to work making stronger rods, a sturdier hull, and fancier lures to attract the Submerged Lands’ most reclusive denizens. Be ready for anything: no one enters these waters at the top of the food chain.

DREADMOOR’s Early Access version will feature the full core gameplay experience with the complete storyline, and a variety of fish species and mutations to discover. After completing story content, freely explore to continue fishing and upgrading the boat and equipment. Dream Dock aims for DREADMOOR to be in Early Access for six to 12 months, with new content to be added during this period, and will be available at a lower price during Early Access.

“Based on everyone’s feedback from our playtests and demo, we want to take the time to make sure that DREADMOOR lives up to the expectations from everyone,” said Rostislav Fedorov, CEO of Dream Dock. “Your feedback on Steam, Discord, Reddit, our in-game surveys, we’re reading everything and you’re helping us make the game better.”

DREADMOOR launches into Steam Early Access on PC on Monday, 9 Nov 2026 for $19.99. Play the demo now as part of Steam Next Fest. The game supports English, French, Italian, German, Spanish – Spain, Portuguese – Brazil, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Japanese language text. For more information, wishlist the game, join the official Discord server, and follow DREADMOOR on X/Twitter for the latest updates.

Major demo update adds a wealth of new regions and slimes – Surpasses 30,000 wishlists through word of mouth, without any large-scale campaign

South Korea — Oct 15, 2026 — TEAM42 (Seoul, South Korea) announced that its MMORPG in development, ‘World of Slime‘, will participate in Steam Next Fest, running from October 19 to 26, 2026. ‘World of Slime’ released a playable demo this past August, and in time for this Fest it has received an update adding a host of new regions and slimes.

Steam Next Fest Update

In time for this Steam Next Fest, ‘World of Slime’ has once again rolled out a major update adding new regions and slimes. Rather than simply adding areas, it introduces a variety of things to enjoy, making it an update that both existing demo players and newcomers arriving through Next Fest can appreciate. 

This update adds a new region and village containing numerous new quests. ‘Noecheon Village’, with its distinctly Korean aesthetic and objects, will give players the experience of traveling through a traditional Korean village. Reflecting the nature of a field where lightning strikes frequently, many Electric and Wind type slimes have been added, letting players discover new slimes and find new synthesis combinations.

A Laid-Back MMORPG

‘World of Slime’ is a ‘cozy taming MMORPG’ that focuses on exploring the world at your own pace rather than growing stronger through competition. While following the familiar genre conventions of capturing and raising monsters, it stands out by prioritizing the joy of discovering new slimes as you explore its distinctive fusion system. As an MMO, it also offers the pleasure of exploring alongside friends, and sometimes strangers, or forming parties for battles, while a wide variety of quests give players many different goals to pursue on their journey.

Charming Visuals and Atmosphere

Through the soft, squishy creature designs that the word ‘slime’ evokes, along with cute, distinctively expressed characters, the game delivers an overall relaxing and soothing atmosphere. Each slime has its own special appearance and gestures, naturally stirring the desire to discover and collect new ones.

A Gacha-Free Collection System

One of World of Slime’s biggest defining features is that it does not sell randomized items (gacha). Breaking away from the probability-based draws and pickup systems commonly used in the monster-taming genre, the game is designed so that every slime can be obtained by players capturing or synthesizing them directly, doubling the fun of hands-on exploration. Instead of selling randomized items, the game plans to offer paid convenience features that save play time, such as town return scrolls, as well as character customization skins.

Word of Mouth Before Launch

‘World of Slime’ has surpassed 30,000 Steam wishlists without any large-scale campaign, and that number continues to grow steadily. Since releasing its demo version this past August, the team has kept up continuous bug fixes and updates, and user response has remained positive. A substantial number of users repeatedly log back into the demo to eagerly explore the game and continue discussions on the official Discord and elsewhere.

World of Slime’s PC demo is currently playable on Steam. The game will begin mobile pre-registration this November, followed by a simultaneous PC/mobile launch in December.

You promise to take care of the elephant, but he is also the magic that makes you strong. It’s never clear who protects whom.

October 16, 2026 – Independent studio One Way Eleven today shared a new look at Hanno: A Magical Tale, a story-driven action-adventure about a boy and a baby elephant who become family. Inspired by a real Asian elephant sent from Portugal to the Pope in 1514, the game gives him a story of his own.

In Hanno: A Magical Tale, you play as Vimal, an orphaned boy from a small village who finds Hanno, an unusual baby elephant, alone and wounded in the forest. He promises to take care of him. What he doesn’t know is that Hanno is the magic that will make him strong and that magic only works while Vimal carries him. Through exploration, puzzles and combat, the two face a mysterious threat that begins corrupting their world and neither can go on without the other. Now and then they part ways and you can play as Hanno himself.

The journey unfolds across Ashar, an original world with its own written language, built to feel like a forgotten legend. Its lush forests, old water channels and murals hold tenderness and threat in the same frame and most of the story lives in what you find along the way. You’ve protected a companion in a game before, but you’ve never needed one this much. Everyone who meets Hanno asks the same thing: what happens to the elephant? We’re not telling.

“It started with wanting to respect the animal. Elephants have been treated as transport, as spectacle, as a gift – the real Hanno was shipped across the world as a present. We didn’t want to build another creature that exists to carry the hero. In our game, the magic belongs to the elephant and it only works while the boy carries him. We wanted a companion you can’t do without and who can’t do without you. The question we want players sitting with is who’s protecting whom and we’d rather they never quite settle on an answer,” said Pedro Campos, Creative Director at One Way Eleven.

KEY FEATURES

• You carry him. He makes you strong: A baby elephant to protect, yet the very one who makes you strong. Hanno’s magic only works while Vimal carries him.
• Sometimes, You Are Hanno: Now and then the two part ways and you can play as the elephant too and feel the weight of the bond when it returns.
• Tender and Tense: Explore, solve environmental puzzles together and fight as one, while a mysterious threat closes in on everything you’ve promised to protect.
• A Real Elephant, an Original World: Inspired by a real Asian elephant sent from Portugal to the Pope in 1514. This time, his story is his own, told in Ashar, a world with its own forgotten language.

AVAILABILITY– Hanno: A Magical Tale is in development for PC via Steam, with release planned for 2027.

About One Way Eleven One Way Eleven is a Portuguese independent games studio. Its first commercial game, Hanno: A Magical Tale, has been in development since 2023 by a small team. The game took 2nd place at the GameStar FYNG Indie Award 2026 at gamescom, was an Indie Arena Booth Official Selection 2026 at gamescom and was selected for GDC Pitch 2024.

Get ready to sink your teeth into an action RPG unlike anything you’ve played before, as GPTRACK50’s passionately pop-punk Stupid Never Dies launches on PlayStation 5 and Steam next week! On October 21 (October 22 in Japan), take on the role of Davy – the weakest (and stupidest) zombie left on earth – and dive into the depths of KOM (King of all Monsters)’s realm, face off against his vicious hoards of mindless enemies, and save the world (and the woman Davy loves) from his impending destruction.

Those who have pre-ordered the Stupid Never Dies: Glorious Idiot Deluxe Edition of the game will get to join Davy on his adventure 48-hours early, as well as unlocking the first DLC for the game TickTock Teddies: Nonsense Overload Pack.

Ahead of launch, the team at GPTRACK50 want to give you a taste of some of the fast and furious action you’ll encounter in Stupid Never Dies in a new game overview trailer.

Watch the new Stupid Never Dies game overview trailer:

About Stupid Never Dies

Developed by GPTRACK50, Stupid Never Dies delivers a single-player 3D action RPG experience unlike anything you’ve played before.

Set in a monster-ruled otherworldly dungeon, Stupid Never Dies puts you in control of Davy, a timid zombie living at the very bottom of monster society. Defeat enemies, level up, and collect strange items to grow stronger on your quest to bring Julia, a frozen human girl, back to life. Steal enemy abilities, customize your undead body with bizarre upgrades, and experience fast-paced combat packed with innovation.

Key Features of Stupid Never Dies:

• Fight Like a Zombie: The best defense is a good offence, according to Davy. Relentlessly attack enemies with reckless abandon – zombies don’t need to dodge if they can’t feel a punch! And with a flexible enemy targeting system, Davy can fight the hoards of enemies coming at him from every direction freely without being tied to a single target, keeping KOM’s army on their toes.
• Blazing Fast Growth: What if you could play a 30+ hour ARPG but reach max level in just 30 minutes? Drawing inspiration from aspects of roguelike mechanics, every dungeon dive starts with Davy at level 1 but enemies defeated across previous dives increase growth rate – and XP gain – exponentially, resulting in a faster, more intense experience.

• Eat Your Enemies: A zombie’s most famous attack is his chomp. With “Style Eat”, Davy not only repairs any damage his deathly body has taken, but absorbs the powers of whatever enemy he eats – werewolves, harpies, vampires, and more. With over 11 styles to devour, Davy can become the ultimate monster-munching machine!
• (Body) Hack the Planet: Collect powerful Over Technology from each dive and visit Acelino’s shop to hack Davy’s body, modifying his arms, legs and head to unlock devastating powers.

• Stupidity Beyond Belief: Interdimensional toilets, a robot vacuum cleaner you can ride, a bizarre cast of loveable characters, and a love story for the ages – there’s never a dull moment in Stupid Never Dies!

Pre-order Stupid Never Dies on PlayStation and on Steam.

Stupid Never Dies will be available for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5 on October 21, 2026, followed by a Japan release on October 22. The game will be available for purchase as a Standard Edition for $49.99 USD, or as part of the Stupid Never Dies: Glorious Idiot Edition for $59.99 USD. A demo for Stupid Never Dies is now available on Steam and PlayStation.

The game will be available in English, with English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Polish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese as supported subtitle languages.

About SPINE:

SPINE is a single-player cinematic action game where close-quarters gunfights meet Gun Fu combat. Play as Redline, a rebellious street artist equipped with Spine – a sentient combat implant with a mind of its own – and fight through a cyberpunk city ruled by an autocratic AI regime in search of Redline’s captured brother.

In Tensor City – a technocratic megacity built by an AI so humanity could survive the ecological collapse of the world outside — your value is a number. The Social Rating decides who eats, who works, and who gets thrown away, splitting the city between the gleaming New City above and the rotting Old City below. Redline, a rebel street artist, scrapes by in the slums,  until a mafia heist goes wrong and costs her everything – including her brother. 

SPINE features Freeflow Gun Fu combat, with camerawork and combat choreography by action movie stunt specialists. It is powered by Unreal Engine 5 and Nekki’s original animation engine, Cascadeur, making players the star of their own action movie where no two fights are the same.

SPINE features:

• Movie-Like Experience – SPINE puts players inside the action with a dynamic combat camera that makes every fight feel like a movie, without ever stealing control from players.
• Innovative Combat – A thrilling fusion of cinematic gunplay and Freeflow Gun Fu beat ’em up. Dive into the chaos of SPINE‘s combat, where every move is a dance between gunfire and raw, close-quarter bullet mayhem. It’s not just a game; it’s an artistic canvas for your own style of destruction.
• Unrivaled Atmosphere – Dive into an action-packed narrative set against the backdrop of a captivating cyberpunk world. Explore the contrast between the gleaming, utopian facades and the gritty, decaying alleyways, as each location becomes a stage for adrenaline-fueled gunfights.
• Gripping Narrative – Embark on a gritty journey into the near-future with Redline, a rebellious street artist, and her AI companion, Spine — a combat implant with a mind of its own. Together, they stand against an oppressive AI regime, and every fight they have sends ripples through the streets they navigate, changing the lives of the people they meet.

SPINE is coming to Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S. Keep up to date with SPINE on the official website. For those interested in the game’s universe, Nekki publishes a webtoon comic “SPINE: Bullet Dancers” that lets fans dive into the world of SPINE before the game is released.

Gravity Circuit 2 Will Also Release on Nintendo Switch 2, Alongside the PC, PlayStation® 5 and Nintendo Switch Releases. 

Montpellier, France – October 15th, 2026. Finnish studio Domesticated Ant Games and French publisher Dear Villagers have announced during the Galaxies Autumn Showcase that the demo for Gravity Circuit 2 is available right now on Steam.  The demo includes 30 minutes of gameplay across 2 stages and 2 characters, Kai and Cable, allowing players to get a first taste of their unique playstyles and new customization elements, ahead of the full release in Spring 2027 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation® 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.

Set in the same universe, years after the events of Gravity Circuit, in a rebuilt Kernel City, players will face a new Ark full of invading forces from the Hunter Army. Gravity Circuit 2 sees Kai returning as a playable character, as well as introducing a new one: Cable, allowing players to switch between the two before the start of a new mission to experience a brand-new fighting style whenever they wish.

While Kai retains his classic closed-combat fighting style, Cable brings a more long-ranged approach, with projectiles, multiple jumps that can damage enemies and powers that allow him to turn defeated foes into scrap that can be used as ammunition. 

To face off the new threat, additional tools will be available to Kai and Cable to improve their skills and abilities throughout the game: new Booster Chips and Burst Techniques will shape their move sets and stats, while a brand-new upgrade can be obtained from each defeated boss with Circuit Shards, allowing players to gain new abilities all together.

Players will be able to blast their way in the 2D levels of Kernel City to take down new enemies, progress through intense platforming phases and uncover new secrets while enjoying the new soundtrack from Dominic Ninmark, who already scored Gravity Circuit to much acclaim.

Gravity Circuit 2 is an upcoming action-packed solo 2D platformer set to be released in Spring 2027 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
