Unleash Your Inner Dragon in a Thrilling Co-op Brawler from Quebec City’s Veteran-led Indie Studio 

(Quebec City, Canada) — June 10, 2025 — RuniQ, an independent game studio founded by a team of industry veterans with decades of combined experience, today announced the official release date for Heroes of Mount Dragon, coming to Steam on June 25, 2025. 

The founding team behind RuniQ has worked on some of the most recognizable names in gaming — Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, Skylanders, and Call of Duty — bringing their expertise in combat systems, animation, and level design to bear on this ambitious new project. From the moment-to-moment gameplay to the studio’s striking hand-drawn 2D art blended into 3D environments, Heroes of Mount Dragon reflects a rare level of craftsmanship from a newly formed indie studio. 

Master Transformative Combat and Rule the Arena 

Set in the mystical world of Üna, Heroes of Mount Dragon is a side-scrolling brawler where players battle as heroes chosen by fate to become Dragon-Souls — champions bonded with ancient dragon eggs. Each hero has a distinct fighting style and transforms mid-combat into a mighty dragon form, unlocking new moves and abilities to dominate foes or turn the tide in battle. 

Combat is fast, fluid, and deeply expressive. Players can launch air juggles, combo chains, and special attacks in both human and dragon form, combining powers for devastating results. Each hero-dragon pairing brings different strengths to the battlefield — one might emphasize high-speed strikes and evasion, while another might rely on heavy, ground-shaking blows or elemental area-of-effect attacks. Dragon transformations aren’t just a power boost; they add strategic flexibility mid-fight, letting players adapt to new threats or capitalize on openings. 

The game encourages experimentation and creative play, thanks to layered mechanics like temporary power-ups and curses — magical effects that alter the flow of battle, sabotage enemies, or empower allies. These dynamic systems ensure that no two matches play the same and that team synergy and tactical use of abilities are just as important as raw reflexes. 

Built for Co-op and Competitive Chaos 

Designed for up to four players, Heroes of Mount Dragon supports both local and online multiplayer, offering full co-op and competitive modes across a range of levels. In cooperative mode, players team up to face monstrous hordes and boss creatures tied to the narrative world of Üna. Environmental hazards and stage-specific challenges keep players on their toes, pushing them to coordinate movement, time dragon shifts, and support each other’s strengths. 

In competitive modes, players go head-to-head in skill-based matches where aggressive play, map control, and smart use of dragon powers determine who reigns supreme. The layered character roster and variety of play styles lend themselves to repeat sessions, with high replayability whether you’re chasing victory solo or diving in with friends. 

At launch, four heroes will be available, with four additional characters joining the roster post-launch to keep the meta fresh and evolving. 

Backed by Community and Expanding Beyond Games 

RuniQ’s vision for Heroes of Mount Dragon has earned recognition even before release — including selections at the Catapulte Pitching Contest and GDC Pitch Day 2024. The studio is supported by the Canada Media Fund and Quebec’s Valo-Capitale grant, providing important backing for both the game’s development and future plans. 

RuniQ has also partnered with HMD Creations to build a broader transmedia universe. In development are a series of companion books, board games, and puzzles designed to expand the lore of Üna and give fans more ways to engage with the story and characters of Heroes of Mount Dragon. 

Coming to Steam This June 

A playable demo will be featured during the upcoming Steam Next Fest, giving players an early chance to experience Heroes of Mount Dragon firsthand. The full game launches June 25, 2025, on Steam, with releases on other storefront and platforms to follow.

The free NetherWorld demo is now live on Nintendo Switch and PC, letting you sample the scuzzy chaos of this booze-soaked 2D action-adventure narrative game. Bring snacks. And maybe a therapist.

You are Medoo, a recently dumped jellyfish with a broken heart, a thirst for vodka, and a talent for getting punched in bars. Explore a world of disturbingly charming pixel art, deranged nightlife, and absolutely no emotional support. Everyone’s either selling something, hiding something, or trying to kill you. Sometimes all three.

Highlights of your inevitable descent:

• Narrative Mayhem – Chat with strippers, sociopaths, cultists, and con artists as you search for something resembling meaning.
• Mini-Games Galore – Box drunks, dodge bullets, and ride a mechanical tick through a roguelike dungeon. Obviously.
• Boss Fights from Hell – Use guns, blades, or just pure spite to survive encounters with monsters that should not exist.

NetherWorld launches later this year on PC and Nintendo Switch, with a physical Switch edition also incoming, because nothing says “collector’s item” like emotional devastation. Nintendo Switch pre-orders are open now, and PC fans can Wishlist now. Medoo’s emotional stability depends on it.

New trailer reveals cinematic action-adventure inspired by Iceland, coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 10^th June 2025: Myrkur Games and Deep Silver have confirmed that Echoes of the End, the studio’s debut cinematic action-adventure game, will launch later this year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

A brand-new trailer reveals the first in-depth look at its breathtaking world, powerful magic, and emotional character-driven narrative.

Echoes of the End follows Ryn, a powerful vestige born with volatile magical abilities, as she sets out to rescue her brother from a brutal empire on the brink of war. Alongside haunted scholar Abram Finlay, she must uncover a conspiracy that could reignite an ancient conflict and plunge the world of Aema into chaos.

Driven by themes of trust, sacrifice and redemption, the story unfolds across ten hand-crafted chapters filled with cinematic moments, memorable characters, and high-stakes decisions.

Echoes of the End launches on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox Series X|S later this year. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam.

Key game features:

• Epic storytelling. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and captured with full performance motion capture, the narrative is brought to life by a stellar cast of voice and screen actors. Featuring the voices of Aldís Amah Hamilton as Ryn and Karl Ágúst Úlfsson as Abram.
• Magic meets steel. Master fast-paced combat that fuses swordplay with devastating magical powers. Take on human and monstrous foes and face epic boss battles that demand strategy and skill.
• Solve and survive. Use Ryn’s magical abilities to overcome puzzles and environmental obstacles. Manipulate gravity, cast illusions and reshape the world around you.
• Traverse a living world. Control time and gravity as you navigate a breathtaking world shaped by Iceland’s raw beauty, from molten lava fields to frozen ruins.
• Companion gameplay. Work closely with Abram to fight, explore and solve puzzles. Your connection grows throughout the game, shaping gameplay and story alike.
• Original score. Echoes of the End features an emotionally rich, original soundtrack composed by Viktor Ingi Guðmundsson, blending cinematic soundscapes with traditional Icelandic influences.

The world of Aema:

Once united under a powerful empire, Aema is now a fragmented land shaped by war, memory, and elemental magic. From sunken cities beneath glacial cliffs to sacred battlegrounds bathed in fire, players will journey through a world that remembers its past and is shaped by every choice they make.

Each of the ten chapters introduces new enemies, traversal challenges, and emotional story beats, making Aema feel alive, reactive, and deeply immersive.

Distinctly Iceland:

Developed in Reykjavík, Iceland, Echoes of the End is the debut title from Myrkur Games, a studio founded by a close-knit group of storytellers and developers with a passion for cinematic worldbuilding.

Over the past several years, the team has developed bespoke pipelines for motion capture, photogrammetry and character performance to deliver a grounded, emotionally resonant experience.

Sydney, Australia, June 10, 2025 – With the first gameplay trailer showcased during IGN Live, Milestone has offered a first glimpse of the fighting mechanics behind Screamer, the high-octane racing game that promises to revolutionise arcade action through innovative gameplay dynamics woven into a deep and engaging story.

Neo Rey, a futuristic city styled after anime universes, sets the stage for intense street battles among Screamers, fearless drivers who unleash their rivalries in the most brutal racing showdown ever. In this world, some race for glory, others for power or revenge. A mysterious tech changed racing forever: the ECHO. Thanks to it, every race is a fight, and every battle is personal and brutal. Through a trailblazing set of mechanics, players will experience the destiny of each character in no-holds-barred clashes where speed alone won’t be enough to survive.

One of Screamer’s key innovations lies in its unique vehicle handling system, which applies a Twin Stick control scheme: the left analogue stick will be used to steer, while the right stick controls drifting. This way, players will have a precise and satisfying tool to tackle corners and stay ahead of the pack. Moreover, the Boost will push each vehicle to the limits of its performance, while the strategic use of the Strike will make it possible to take out opponents by hitting them at just the right moment. And once the Overdrive kicks in, chaos will reign supreme across the streets of Neo Rey.

Only by mastering the entire ECHO system will it be possible to emerge victorious. And just like in any true battle, races in Screamer won’t be all about offense, as players will also have dedicated defensive tools to protect themselves from their rivals, with more details to be revealed soon.

By combining innovative vehicle handling, fighting mechanics, and a rich storyline, Screamer will deliver an unconventional arcade experience able to blend strategy and emotional intensity from the first to the last turn. Scheduled for release in 2026, Screamer will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
