TOKYO — Aug. 20, 2026 — Mythmon: Mythic Monsters, a monster-taming hack-and-slash auto-battlerdeveloped by MachHabaneroGames and published by Kodansha Creators’ Lab, positions to pulverize the Demon Lord’s armies on PC via Steam on Monday, 7 September, 2026. 

Declare war on the Demon Lord by leading a team of one-of-a-kind creatures called Mythmon, equally cute as they are capable. Recruit five from the 30-strong roster to form a fearsome squad, strategize flawless battle plans, then send the adorable but tough team into the fray where their powers, positioning, and instincts will lead to the downfall of the Demon Lord.

Grow each species into their signature talents. Evolve abilities with 10+ elemental status effects spanning fire, ice, wind, and beyond.

Pre-battle preparation is the key to victory. Position ranged specialists in the Backline. Keep glass cannons protected with sturdy tanks and aggro warriors in the Frontline, to absorb incoming blows and pull attention from lower-HP teammates. Place versatile Mythmon in the Mid-Guard position for flexible swing strategies.

Examine opponents’ loadouts before battle. Aggressively plunder their most powerful gear to take hold of tide-turning items, or go on the defensive, striking only at opportune moments. Every loss surrenders precious equipment to the Demon Lord’s forces; so be careful not to strengthen their evil ranks! Even greater challenges lie beyond the Demon Lord’s defeat. End his reign to unlock skill-testing endgame dungeons, where commanders must formulate flawless pre-battle formations in preparation for clashes with endless waves of advanced enemies.

Mythmon: Mythic Monsters arrives on PC via Steam on Monday, 7 September, 2026 with language options in English and Japanese. For more information, follow MachHabaneroGames on X / Twitter.

Stellar Jockeys’ boots-on-the-ground continuation of the cult-classic Brigador saga is available now, featuring destructive tactical combat and an original soundtrack by Makeup and Vanity Set.

CHICAGO, UNITED STATES – August 20, 2026 – Stellar Jockeys has today launched Brigador Killers into Early Access on Steam and GOG. The long-awaited continuation of the cult-classic Brigador saga expands the series’ explosive tactical combat with on-foot action, vehicle warfare, arsenal building, base development, and a more flexible mission structure.

Set on the world of Mar Nosso, Brigador Killers casts players as members of Team Anchor, an insurgent crew operating behind enemy lines to disrupt entrenched corporate power. Players must fight on foot, commandeer and salvage vehicles, build a private arsenal, and bring the war directly to the businessmen responsible for the occupation.

Building on the tactical destruction and overwhelming firepower that defined Brigador: Up-Armored Edition, Brigador Killers brings the action closer than ever. Players can wield an array of weaponry on foot before climbing behind the controls of heavily armed vehicles, adapting their approach as missions escalate and the streets of Mar Nosso descend into mechanical destruction.

The Early Access launch follows an enthusiastic response to the Brigador Killers demo on Steam, which holds a 93% positive rating from more than 400 reviews. The demo offered players an early taste of the game’s violent tactical sandbox, including missions built around fighting on foot, stealing and salvaging vehicles, and assembling an increasingly powerful arsenal.

Brigador Killers also features an original soundtrack by Makeup and Vanity Set, returning to the world of Brigador with a new score shaped by the series’ heavy industrial atmosphere and grimy science-fiction violence. With the expansion of scope and gameplay comes an expansion into new levels of aggressive intensity, sonic violence and icy cold digital synthesis – a perfect background as you inflict maximum vengeance upon the shadowy figures of a corporate dystopian wasteland.

“This is the most ambitious and elaborate game we’ve ever made, taking us the better part of a decade. With a team hired almost exclusively out of our own world-class community, we’re finally able to bring it to life. We hope players have as much fun diving into it as we have had losing our minds making it.“

– the Monahan Brothers, co-founders of Stellar Jockeys.

Brigador Killers is available now in Early Access on Steam and GOG.

Rain and wind affect weight and drag, making sailing through the skies more dynamic than ever!

Los Angeles, CA – August 20, 2026 – Loric Games and Snail Games USA have just launched a major new update for their airborne open-world survival RPG crafting game Echoes of Elysium. Called the Tempest update, this adds highly requested rain and wind effects, along with rebalancing adjustments and quality of life improvements.

These new weather effects aren’t just for show either, as precipitation now interacts directly with your ship and everything on it. Wet ship pieces and stored items gain weight and drag, certain stations can be inoperable if they’re soaked through, and the world gets a moodier, rainy atmosphere to match. Each biome has its own separate cycle and rate of weather events, and while your ship and everything on it gains a wetness status while in rain, they’ll dry out once the rain lets up.

Wind is also stronger and more variable than ever, where sailing against and the current has much more of an impact. This is made especially prevalent through new wind effects. Furthermore, thrusters, sails, and weight have all been rebalanced with wetness/added weight and wind in mind.

Other quality of life adjustments in this update include a ship encumbrance bar adjustment where it now shows the weight to be added to the ship if you build something, as well as how much weight will be removed should you destroy something. There are also improved tooltips in build mode and on stations, now showing more details like weight and speed. Elsewhere, scrap metal piles will no longer spawn underground, and music and sound effects overall have been improved, tweaked, and tuned.

More About Echoes of Elysium:
Set in the enchanting world of Elysium, where ancient mechanisms coexist with serene skies and breathtaking landscapes, players must set sail for adventure in airships of their own design. Your fleet is more than simple transport, but your base of operations where you can transport supplies, craft materials, and engage in aerial combat against an armada of adversaries.

Work alone or with friends in up to 6-player co-op as you uncover the mysteries of a forgotten paradise where danger lurks in the form of soul-powered clockwork beasts. Gather, craft, and grow in power as you fight for survival across a fractured landscape of diverse environments. Harvest unique resources to craft vital tools, contraptions, and airships, all aiding in your defense and exploration.

New York, NY – August 2026 – Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education, and media company, announced it will be partnering with Tezuka Productions, Co., Ltd., Osamu Tezuka’s IP company, to reimagine five of Tezuka’s original manga titles for children.

Tezuka Productions, Co., Ltd. is a Japanese mass multi-media company founded by Osamu Tezuka, who is often referred to as the “God of Manga.” Tezuka is famously known for jumpstarting Japan’s modern comic and animation industries, producing over 700 stories, including some of his most popular series, Astro Boy, Princess Knight, Kimba the White Lion, and many more.

Scholastic partnered with Tezuka Productions, Co. Ltd. first in 2024 with the reimagining of Tezuka’s UNICO series. Since the UNICO AWAKENING series launched in August 2024, Graphix has released three volumes from acclaimed author, Samuel Sattin, and Eisner Award-winning Japanese artist duo, Gurihiru. The series has become a national bestseller and sold in more than 17 countries around the world. UNICO AWAKENING will culminate with its eighth volume, completing the story arc left unfinished by Tezuka in his lifetime.

In a similar vein to UNICO, Scholastic is partnering with Tezuka Productions, Co., Ltd. to reimagine five properties from Osamu Tezuka. These titles will include, Three Eyed One, Princess Knight, Triton of the Sea, Zero Men, and Atom Cat/Astro Cat. Author Samuel Sattin is tagged once again to spearhead the efforts to develop and reimage these series, working alongside Japanese artists. 

“Working with Tezuka Productions and Samuel Sattin on the UNICO AWAKENING series has been a dream come true and I’m thrilled that we’ll be working together to create more reimagined series for children based on the brilliant storytelling of Osamu Tezuka.” says David Saylor, Creative Director and SVP of Graphix at Scholastic.

“We are thrilled to partner with Scholastic and Graphix to bring more of Osamu Tezuka’s beloved stories to global readers. Following the incredible success of the UNICO AWAKENING series in over 17 countries, we have immense trust in Samuel Sattin and his fellow talented artists who will reimagine these five classic titles for children. We look forward to the day when children everywhere discover these timeless worlds,” says Hirotaka Ishiwata, Publishing Manager of Content Division at Tezuka Productions.

 
“Working with Scholastic and Tezuka Productions to create modern reimaginings of Osamu Tezuka’s work is at once a dream come true and a responsibility I don’t take lightly. Writing UNICO AWAKENING has been an immeasurable honor, and I look forward to bridging art and stories across Japan and the US to bring a new generation of readers to Tezuka’s world—a world I’m deeply excited to continue creating in,” says bestselling and Eisner-nominated author,  Samuel Sattin.
