Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest emerges on 18 June

Return to the Beira D in a haunting expansion to the original story

Brighton, UK – 12 June 2025: 1986. Over a decade has passed since the Beira D incident. A specialist dive team journeys to the North Sea to uncover the truth…

From the acclaimed developer The Chinese Room comes Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest, a paid story expansion for Still Wakes the Deep, winner of three BAFTA Games Awards. Published by award-winning indie publisher Secret Mode, Siren’s Rest will launch on 18 June on Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and PlayStation®5 (PS5™), for $12.99/£9.99/€12.99.

Set over a decade after the events of Still Wakes the Deep, players will sink below the waves of the North Sea to explore what’s left of the Beira D. Swim through the underwater wreckage armed with a cutting torch, crowbar, and camera, and try to piece together the final moments of the oil rig’s crew. But beware – there are things lurking in the depths that even the sea cannot claim.

Siren’s Rest features a new story written by Sagar Beroshi (Helldivers 2) and introduces a new voice cast. Lois Chimimba (Doctor Who, Shetland) stars as Mhairi alongside Lorn Macdonald (Bridgerton, The Lazarus Project) and David Menkin (Final Fantasy XVI, Alan Wake 2), and the cast are once more directed by Kate Saxon.

About Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest
1986. The Beira D is now a groaning steel catacomb interred in the inky depths of the North Sea. What really happened that December day in 1975, when communications to the mainland were severed and the rig sank without a trace? What answers can be given to families who still grieve, ten years on?

You are Mhairi. And you will find those answers. As the leader of a saturation dive to the wreck of the Beira D, you descend, a fragile light in the crushing dark. Your mission: uncover the fate of the crew and recover what remains of their passing.

Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest launches on 18 June for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5 for $12.99/£9.99/€12.99, with a 15% launch discount available on Steam.

Apple WWDC25 Kicks Off; Infold Games’ Infinity Nikki Wins Apple Design Award

June 10th, 2025 – Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC25) officially kicked off, launching a week-long series of events, with the 2025 Apple Design Awards presented during the opening session. Infold Games’ Infinity Nikki received the award in the Visuals and Graphics category. Founder Yao Runhao attended the ceremony in person to accept the award.

 As “a beautiful open world built around the joy of collection”, Infinity Nikki received high praise from the Apple Design Award. The comment highlighted the game’s ground-breaking innovation in shifting the  gameplay focus on collecting clothes instead of weapons. Also commented that “Lavish yet cozy at the same time, Infinity Nikki is an often literally glowing example of what mobile graphics can be.”

Caption: Award description from Apple’s official website

As the world’s first cross-platform open-world game built on Unreal Engine 5, Infinity Nikki has been celebrated globally for its exceptional visual effect and graphics design. During its beta release, IGN awarded the game an impressive 9/10, recommending Infinity Nikki as “deep open-world exploration, a quirky story, and some of the most beautiful in-game outfits you’ll ever see.” Besides IGN, 29 international media outlets contributed to a collective score of 80 on Metacritic.

“One of the best-looking games of the year.” —The aesthetic expression of Infinity Nikki is only made possible with the technological breakthrough of its developers. To render the intricate fabric textures and dazzling lighting effects, the development team implemented over 100 proprietary technical innovations. For example, to present dynamic movement across a wide variety of outfits, the team carefully distinguished the texture of different fabrics  and employed advanced skeletal physics to simulate the real-world behavior of different materials.

“Collect clothes instead of weapons, lavish yet cozy at the same time.” — This refreshing gameplay philosophy is one of the standout reasons Infinity Nikki caught the attention of Apple. The game uniquely combines dress-up mechanics with an open-world framework, delivering a relaxing and immersive experience through elegant outfit design, audio, and visual expression. For instance, when Nikki crafts the “Wind of Purity” outfit, she gains purification abilities — allowing her to purify enermies and corrupted zones on the map.

To let players capture and cherish Nikki’s magical moments across the world of Miraland, Infold Games has also overhauled the in-game camera. With upgrades that allow players to adjust focal length, lighting, aperture, filters, and character actions — along with dynamic scene rendering based on weather and environment setting — Infinity Nikki offers a powerful tool for visual storytelling and memory-making.

“It’s beauty, not violence.” — As players explore the richly designed landscapes and intricate fashion, Infinity Nikki’s light combat and progression mechanics have sparked passionate discussion among global players who say it offers “no substitute.” Nikki, together with her charming companion “Momo”, has bounced her way into the hearts of players worldwide.

“We thought it would take time for players to appreciate an uncoventional and slow-paced open-world game. But on launch day, the average play time showed us many were already indulged.” said Yao Runhao in an internal memo the day after the game’s open beta launch.

WWDC25 hosts its Media Day on June 10, Pacific Time, (UTC-7), where Infinity Nikki and other development teams will engage directly with members of the press.
