  • A bitterly cold landscape teeming with life. Discover and track 19 species through the snow, tackle 13 engaging missions, and explore from the pine-covered peaks down to the frost-swept grasslands to find the perfect hunting spot – but watch out for falling trees, a sign that the preserve’s most industrious inhabitant is active!
  • Askiy Ridge’s wildlife is exclusive to the region, and have all adapted to survive in the Canadian wilderness. Look out for the Manitoban Elk or Great One Mule Deer, while the sound of fallen trees may lead to the North American Beaver. 
  •  A diverse landscape. Start at altitude in the dense boreal forest before heading down into the rugged foothills. The contrasting sightlines of the grasslands afford easy spotting that even the most experienced hunters will appreciate.
  •  A journey into Albertan culture. Experience the vast Albertan ecosystem, home of the First Nations, with 13 location-exclusive missions to complete. Help the warden and local experts to maintain the preserve on the trail of the secretive Sasquatch, with challenges designed to test even the most skilled hunters. To top it off, enjoy an epic soundtrack inspired by the wilderness and native cultures of Alberta.
  • Expand the hunting arsenal. The new Laperriere Outrider .30-30 is a lever-action rifle with a side-loading and side-ejecting design, suited for small to medium game, like the Whitetail Deer or the Gray Wolf. Compatible with a wide range of rifle scopes, it is a versatile and powerful choice for hunting at any time of day or night.

GameTech strengthens Lithuania’s position as a rising European hub for game development

Vilnius, June 17, 2025 – The second edition of GameTech, Lithuania’s flagship video game accelerator powered by GameBCN and supported by the Lithuanian government and Startup Lithuania, concluded with a dynamic Demo Day, where ten studios showcased the results of three months of acceleration.

The event brought together industry professionals, investors, and publishers from across Europe, reinforcing Lithuania’s ambition to become a leading player in the regional game development ecosystem. Each participating studio presented their progress, sharing gameplay demos, visual developments, and market strategies with a highly engaged audience.

This edition featured a diverse mix of teams from Lithuania, Germany, Denmark, and Spain, working on projects across genres such as rhythm games, puzzle adventures, narrative simulators, and socially driven storytelling. The strong international presence reflects GameTech’s growing appeal and Lithuania’s role as a welcoming environment for global talent.

The event featured a professional panel that brought together key figures from the Lithuanian game development ecosystem, including Mingailė Joniškė (Honeyplot Games) and Tomas Narbutaitis (Matima Studio), both participants in the GameTech program; Rasa Narkūnaitė (Dumplings Inc.); Vilius Šlapelis (Innovation Agency Lithuania); and Ricardas Jascemskas (Lithuanian Game Developers Association).

During the panel, Lithuanian teams shared their pride in how much the country’s game development scene has evolved in a short time. At the same time, they highlighted a key challenge: for the industry to continue growing, it must be viewed not just as a passion project, but as a sustainable business. Generating consistent revenue is essential for studios to keep creating, and initiatives like GameTech play a vital role in laying that foundation.

Karolina Urbonaitė, Head of Startup Lithuania at Innovation Agency Lithuania, stated that “programs like GameTech accelerator show how Lithuania can attract international talent while continuing to empower its own studios. We’re excited about what’s coming next.”

Joan Francesc Bañó, CEO of GameBCN, emphasized the long-term goal of the program: “With GameTech, we’re helping shape a new generation of game developers capable of thinking globally while growing locally. Lithuania has the creativity, ambition, and institutional support to become a reference point in Europe.”

GameTech’s Demo Day not only marked the end of the program — it reaffirmed Lithuania’s growing presence on the global game development stage. As GameTech’s second edition comes to a close, the accelerator is already looking ahead to its third edition. Applications are now open until June 30th at https://gametech.gamebcn.co

The Spell-Slinging Roguelike Leaves Early Access Following Months of Player Feedback

[June 12th, 2025] – The wait is over—Wizard of Legend 2 has officially launched in its full 1.0 form on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. After months of player feedback and refinement in Early Access, the fast-paced action-roguelike from Dead Mage and Humble Games is now fully unleashed, featuring fresh content, enhanced co-op, and thrilling new challenges.

“1.0 is the result of months of teamwork with our players. Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts, reported bugs, or stuck with us along the way.” —Kasra Tehrani, Producer, Dead Mage

The 1.0 release introduces the Chaos Biome, complete with new minibosses and a fearsome Final Boss that awaits the most daring Arcana-wielders. Players can now harness 12 new Chaos Arcana, discover 10 new relics, and tackle new objectives with brand-new contracts—expanding both strategic depth and replayability.

Whether venturing solo or joining forces with up to three friends in 4-player local or online co-op, players will find even more responsive gameplay, balanced boss encounters, and streamlined item management for a smoother multiplayer experience. The spell-slinging combat is tighter and more rewarding than ever before. During the Early Access period, Dead Mage released multiple patches and updates to add new features, address player feedback, and give the game overall polish. Features like the Dash Arcana, 4 player co-op, and the Sky Citadel update that were released during Early Access will be included on both PC and console with the 1.0 release.
