Creators of video game music tribute channel JT Music branch out into original horror games

RALEIGH, North Carolina – 25 Sept. 2026 – The first playable demo for Terrible Lizards, the first-person horror platformer with buried secrets from the minds behind the popular JT Music YouTube channel’s new game studio WDR Studios, is now available on PC via Steam for PC, ahead of the Thursday, Oct. 29 launch on Steam, XBOX Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

Jordan is stranded and alone on Route 66, with the only sign of civilization a rundown tourist trap, Dalton’s Dinos. The lights are out, but when you’re alone in the desert, your options are limited, even if that place gives you the creeps.

Jumping the gate and dodging electrical hazards proves that all of his time on the UCLA track team and studying parkour didn’t go to waste, but getting in was the easy part. Now, Jordan is desperately searching for a way to call for help, and wondering why a missing mascot costume is filling him with dread.

But no amount of track practice can prepare you for the abject terror of having to run and hide from dinosaurs.

Use mobility to stay alive in portions of the first two levels of this acrobatic survival adventure full of enigmatic apex predators. Use your wits to cross difficult paths or unlock heavily guarded locations, all the while evading the monsters that could strike at any moment.

If walking dinosaurs weren’t weird enough, things only get stranger as Jordan explores the digsite beneath Dalton’s Dinos in the full game, launching Thursday, Oct. 29. What happened to Dalton, his wife Elena, and their son, Dalton Jr.? The first clues to these answers lie in the demo for the debut title from the minds behind JT Music, who have made music paying tribute to their favorite games, and are now crafting their own original horror experience.

“Christian and I at JT Music have been making music about games for years, and are massive horror fans, so developing our own title seemed like a natural fit,” said John Gelardi, co-founder of WDR Studios and JT Music, and the Producer and Designer on Terrible Lizards.

“We’ve drawn from our collective nostalgia for the 1990s and classic horror titles to create something original. We’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing developers like Amanda Farough to help us fully realize our vision of a one-of-a-kind horror experience.”

Terrible Lizards is currently slated to launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S on Thursday, 29 Oct, 2026, with news on other platforms to be announced at a later date. For more information, please visit WDR Studios’ official website, stay up to date by following the game on X/Twitter, and join the studio’s official Discord!

In Jace’s Echoverse, a new reality brings chaotic twists and shocking turns to your favourite characters and spells

September 25, 2026 — Wizards of the Coast today launched Prerelease events at WPN stores for Reality Fracture, the latest set for the popular trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). As Jace Beleren’s alternate reality, The Echoverse, invades the Multiverse, your favourite characters and spells won’t be quite as you remember when Reality Fracture lands on the tabletop from October 2.

Reality Isn’t Quite As It Seems

This is the end. Reality Fracture marks the conclusion of an epic three-year arc in the universe of Magic: The Gathering. Jace Beleren’s alternate reality is crashing into our Multiverse – it’s your choice to confront him in his twisted world, or join him as a student of Hexhaven.

Reality Fracture brings twisted versions of cards you’ve played with over 30 years of Magic, warped in Jace’s vision. You’ll also be presented with Echoed Pairs of characters you know and love, their alternate pathways brought to life in cards that mirror one another appearing in the same pack.

Multiversal Mechanics

Marking the end of the saga are new and returning mechanics designed to flip any game on its head. These mechanics include:

• Empower Jace – When triggered, cards with ‘Empower Jace’ either make a Jace Planeswalker Token or adds loyalty counters if you already have one in play.
• Prepared Creatures – A returning mechanic from Secrets of Strixhaven, creatures with a spell that you can cast so long as they’re prepared. Each preparation card has a two-part frame, with the left side housing the creature’s abilities, and the right side housing its spell.

Multiverse Reforged

Reimagine a new Multiverse with Jace at the helm and a deck full of alternate-reality versions of beloved Magic creatures. Reveal your master plan by replacing tokens with these new twisted creatures and bring order, just the way Jace envisioned it!

Collecting Reality Fracture

Reality Fracture introduces a raft of new cards for you to wrap your mind around, along with never-before-seen card treatments to stand out in your collection. The headliner of the set is Bloodline Recollector, a serialised card limited to just 500 across all realities. This double rainbow foil treatment can only be found in Collector Boosters.

Fans of Secrets of Strixhaven may find this card somewhat familiar. That’s right, both visually and mechanically, it’s a warped version of that set’s headliner card – Emeritus of Ideation.

Brand-new to Reality Fracture are Shattered Mirror cards. These new treatments showcase a card’s inspiration right alongside its Echoverse counterpart. One card representing multiple realities. There are just 13 Shattered Mirror cards in the set, with unique facet foil versions appearing in Collector Boosters, while non-foil versions appear in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Split across realities yet joined as one, Borderless Echoed Pairs depict a clash across realms between the different versions of notable characters from the story, like Chandra. Here, Chandra’s fire magic clashes against her chilly counterpart’s ice spells. There are 15 pairs total, each displaying stunning artwork across that extends across both cards. Borderless Echoed Pairs can be found in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Is your mind not boggled enough yet? Then the Braintwister Series Cards are here to finish the job. These 23 card variants can be found in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters, tricking your senses with the most dizzying effects of the set.

Ten cards from the Reality Fracture set have been reimagined as Japan Showcase cards, with artwork inspired by Japanese hobby shops, complete with a special card frame. Traditional foil and fracture foil Japan Showcase cards appear only in Collector Boosters.

Get in on Secret Lair’s dazzling artwork with the Secret Lair Bundle Promo Cards. This mind-bending collection brings together everything you love about the set, infusing ten cards with wild Secret Lair visuals. The Bundle houses 2 Collector Boosters, 6 Play Boosters, a set of traditional foil basic lands, and 2 of 10 traditional foil Secret Lair Bundle promo cards.

Reality Fracture also includes rare Dual Lands, opening portals to familiar dimensions. Like Secrets of Strixhaven before it, these Portal Lands align with Hexhaven college colours. These can be found as non-foil and foil versions in both Play Boosters and Collector Boosters.

Lastly, basic lands also get their own unique treatment, depicting the impossibly tall Jace Tower. The structure is represented in the set through borderless art spanning 15 Land cards, three for each colour, in total. You might need a bigger table to show these off in your next game.

Magic: The Gathering Reality Fracture includes Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, a Commander Deck, Prerelease Packs, Draft Night, Bundles and Secret Lair Bundles.

Discover the political intrigue of a collapsing government.

September 24, 2026: Don’t Pick Up, the latest narrative-driven horror title from Quarter Games and GRIME and GRIME II developer Clover Bite, is available for players to play today in a free demo published on Steam.

Developed by Quarter Games, Don’t Pick Up sees players working in a government-certified phone and communication device repair shop in an alternative dystopian 2000s. The authoritarian government’s policies and restrictions shift on a daily basis, changing what the player can legally service, what parts they can use, and which customers they can accept.

Don’t Pick Up — Official Announcement Trailer

The game’s rich world of political intrigue reveals itself as the devices themselves become a source of forbidden discovery. As players go through customers’ phones, they discover information about the various factions, conspiracies, and individuals caught up in the ongoing political collapse taking place in the outside world.

The choices the player makes as they navigate the political intrigue will have a direct impact on how the story plays out – so long as they are prepared to live with the consequences.

Features: 

• Maintain full compliance. A first-person psychological horror set in a dystopian alternate history.
• Repair customer devices. Each phone that comes through your door needs fixing. What else you find inside it is your business – and your responsibility.
• Make sound decisions. Multiple endings. Shaped entirely by the choices you make – who you serve, what you report, what you keep to yourself. Choose carefully.
• Follow the daily directives. New government regulations arrive every morning. Stay compliant or suffer the consequences.
• Handle sensitive information with care. Each device may contain things their owners didn’t intend to share. Things the government doesn’t want people to know. 
• Serve the community.  An escalating political crisis is unfolding more each day, always visible from your window.

A free Don’t Pick Up demo is available on Steam right now. Wishlist the game today!

Tyr is currently sitting at 87% positive reviews on Steam, but Stoke Games isn’t taking that for granted as it continues to deliver for its dedicated community.

One that blends eye-catching visual design with a rich narrative and audio that envelops players from start to finish,” said Giedrius Tamalaitus, CEO, OSM Games. “We hope that players feel we’ve achieved this, coming back again and again to unlock new pathways and discover the multiple endings we’ve hidden within.”

Test out your new setup through tropical jungle passages, barren deserts, urban boulevards, fast highways, and much more. 
• Free Roam: Don’t want to feel limited? Take any vehicle to your destination of choice and start exploring the open sandbox. Experimentation is also key in this game mode, as objects and environmental conditions can be manipulated. Try revving up wind speeds for a challenge, or altering gravity!
• Career Mode: Looking for a guided experience and sense of progression? Career Mode allows you to progress from broke and driving a beater, to lord of all you survey with a fleet of luxury vehicles at your command – or a fleet of rust buckets, if that’s your desire!
• Scenarios: BeamNG.drive offers a wide variety of scenarios for every type of driving enthusiast out there. You can complete a truck delivery request as fast and efficiently as possible, outrun police cruisers in a hot pursuit, or complete time trials to test your skills. No matter the situation, the realistic physics engine will engage and immerse you in the experience.

A sidenote on Mod Support. In general, BeamNG aims to achieve feature parity across platforms where possible. Mod support for PlayStation will not be available at launch: supporting mods on console is a unique challenge, and while the possibilities are being explored, the timing and scope cannot be confirmed at this stage. Mod authoring tools, such as the World Editor, are not currently planned for PlayStation.

BeamNG.drive is currently available in Early Access on Steam. It won’t be long before you can zoom through the countryside on PlayStation 5, so be sure to wishlist it now!
