Actress and vocalist Elsie Lovelock joins a stacked lineup to bring the characters of Kumitantei to life.

Bandung, Indonesia, June 9, 2025  | Mango Factory, the team behind the Danganronpa-inspired murder-mystery card battler Kumitantei: Old School Slaughter, is thrilled to announce that their latest demo is available now on Steam. Following its successful Kickstarter campaign last year, the game now also welcomes eighteen voice actors to the lineup for its Early Access launch this fall.

Introducing the Cast

Kumitantei: Old School Slaughter is an ode to retro anime and pop culture stylings of 1980s Japan. Featuring a class of sixteen eccentric Absolute Students, intricate hand-drawn details, and a twisted horror narrative, players can expect a thrilling introduction to the dystopian alternate 20th century of Kumitantei.. The Empire of Japan, 1986: Awoken in a decaying nuclear bunker, sixteen students are trapped in a kill-or-be-killed Apathy Experiment hosted by a sadistic two-faced cat. Will they band together to uncover secrets of the past, or lose their humanity and lives in the present? Playing as the sheepish Absolute Barista Himari Sanada, it’s your job to uncover the bunker’s many secrets, earn the trust of your strange fellow captives, investigate their grisly murders at the hands of a fellow classmate, and battle it out to discover whodunnit in the high-stakes Clinical Trial! 

Card Battle Combat

Progress through Kumitantei’s gruesome story by forging bonds, battling other students, and unraveling twisted mysteries. In this kill-or-be-killed scenario, the game’s trust system can offer unique leverage opportunities in combat. Spending time with fellow classmates and offering them appropriate gifts unlocks new talent cards and advantages in future card battles. These 1-on-1 battles are a hectic tug-of-war for influence; deal attacks with Debate cards, finding weaknesses in your opponent’s argument to strengthen your own. As the battle progresses, present proper evidence against your opponent and strike with The Final Word to silence them. Additional Talent Cards are available to strengthen your gameplay, and high Trust levels with other students may present advantages in battle.

Demo Out Now, Episode 1 Coming Soon

Players can get a taste of the experience in Kumitantei’s demo, available now for Steam Next Fest. The demo features the game’s fully voiced story Prologue, a customizable Card Battle Debate with four distinct opponents, and the Donkey Kong-inspired retro minigame ‘Merlite.’ The game will launch on Steam Early Access later this year, featuring the first episode with eighteen voice-acted characters. Elsie Lovelock (Murder Drones, Hazbin Hotel) performs the game’s city pop-style vocals. Notable cast members include Mia Paige (Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves) as protagonist Himari, Joshua Waters (Honkai: Star Rail) as deuteragonist Moichiro, and Jordan Dash Cruz (Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End) as the two-faced cat Nyanus.

Anticipated Episode 1 Features:

• Solve a complex murder case to kick off the game’s chilling narrative set in an alternate 20th-century Empire of Japan!
• Encounter sixteen uniquely gifted Absolute Students brought to life with full voice acting!
• Bond with fellow participants to earn their Trust, investigate gruesome crime scenes, and use your findings to uncover the truth.
• Unlock special rewards as you increase your Trust Levels with classmates.
• Purchase additional Talent Cards with in-game currency to strengthen your deck.
• Leverage your relationships in Card Battle Debates and gain advantages against your opponent.

Fresh new trailer and gameplay clip released

Cincinnati, Ohio (June 9, 2025) – Earth taken over by the AI meant to save it, a group of ninja cheerleaders from space who’ve trained nonstop their whole lives to reclaim the planet, and absolutely sick as hell beats. Stylish 2D sidescrolling action indie Ra Ra BOOM is hitting PC, Xbox and PlayStation in August, but you can start saving the world early as part of the game’s brand-new Steam Next Fest demo, available now: https://linktr.ee/raraBOOM

The demo was revealed hot on the heels of a brand-new trailer released as part of IGN Live, showcasing the slick action and the fire soundtrack that await you as you fight to reclaim the planet:

The new demo gives you a taste of the action with Ra Ra BOOM’s prologue. The level showcases what the cast is fighting to save and just how they’ll be doing it – with the chance to try out the host of different weapons Aris, Saida, Ren and Vee have at their disposal to take out an array of different AI-powered enemies, including the level’s boss, Super Arnold.

This is not your average beat ‘em up. Ra Ra BOOM cooks with turbo-charged four-player co-op action, blending fast-paced classic beat ‘em up gameplay with ranged combat in a lane-based 2D sidescroller. Ra Ra BOOM integrates these horizontal lanes naturally into its hand-drawn environments, making sure you’ll never miss your mark in both melee and ranged combat. 

In Ra Ra BOOM, each playable character also sports their own weapons and abilities, giving you four completely different, explosive takes on combat with new abilities to unlock and skills to upgrade. Ra Ra BOOM’s killer soundtrack doesn’t miss a beat either – with a non-stop score of heart-pounding, rock-tinged beats courtesy of DJ duo Toy District. Ra Ra BOOM keeps both the energy and the BPM sky high.

Official Demo Now Available on Steam with New Bounty Missions!

(Seoul, South Korea) – June 9, 2025 – Pizza Bandit, the upcoming third-person co-op shooter that can be described as a mix of Gears of War meets Overcooked, is set to launch on Steam in Early Access on August 25, 2025. As part of the PC Gaming Show, Jofsoft has released a brand-new trailer that offers a slice of the game’s chaotic gameplay, and an official demo is now available on Steam that includes 3 new bounty missions.

Watch Pizza Bandit Early Access Announcement Trailer Here:

Set in a future where time travel is real, Pizza Bandit follows Malik, an ex-mercenary finally chasing his childhood dream: opening a pizza restaurant. Though he was built for battle, not baking, he’s determined to make it work. With nothing but an empty venue and no money, Malik takes on high-risk bounty missions through time to fund his dream.

Battling through shifting eras and fending off relentless time reapers, Malik picks up more than just scars. Each mission helps him grow as a cook—unlocking rare ingredients, discovering new pizza recipes, and learning skills that inch him closer to opening day. Survive the chaos, master the kitchen, and turn a broken dream into the best pizza joint around.

A Slice of Gameplay Features:

• Cooking Meets Combat: Pizza Bandit merges intense third-person shooting with real-time cooking mechanics, where players must prepare a variety of dishes—like sushi, steak, grilled chicken, and more—mid-battle to survive and succeed.
• Pizzeria Management: Between missions, players can upgrade and personalize their restaurant, crafting pizzas that grant gameplay-enhancing buffs. Players’ cooking EXP and restaurant prestige will unlock new pizza recipes and buffs to help survive missions.
• Bounty Contracts: Players can engage in special contract missions featuring layered objectives and bonus rewards. Completing these contracts unlocks new weapons, equipment, and further missions, enhancing their gameplay progression.
• Weapon Customization: Players gather and combine upgrade components to modify their weapons, enabling personalized playstyles and strategic versatility.
• 1–4 Player Online Co-Op: The game supports dynamic squad-based play with scaling difficulty and active friendly fire, forcing tight coordination and teamwork.

“Pizza Bandit isn’t just another co-op shooter—it’s a chaotic blend of intense combat and ridiculous charm,” said Aron Koh, executive producer at Jofsoft. “We wanted to create a game where dodging bullets and grilling steak go hand in hand, where the stakes are high, but the humor stays sharp. It’s a wild, unpredictable ride that doesn’t take itself too seriously—until the action kicks in. That contrast is what makes it so fun!”

Jofsoft is a game studio based in Seoul, South Korea, comprising six seasoned developers with a shared passion for creating memorable gaming experiences. The team boasts a diverse skill set, having previously contributed to AAA online MMORPGs and various mobile games across different genres.

A new video introducing the four-player co-op gameplay has also been released!

Hertfordshire, 9^th June 2025 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force announced that digital pre-orders for their upcoming fantasy hunting game, WILD HEARTS S, are now available on Nintendo Switch™ 2. To celebrate, a new video introducing the four-player co-op gameplay with commentary from the producers has been released. Players can get a closer look at the “Karakuri”, one of the main features of WILD HEARTS S, ahead of its release on 25 July 2025.

In WILD HEARTS S, players must master an ancient technology called “Karakuri” (automaton) to hunt giant beasts across a fantasy world inspired by feudal Japan. Gameplay has been enhanced on Nintendo Switch™ 2 for players to enjoy a deeper experience by hunting in a pack of up to four players. In multiplayer mode, whether online* or local, players will be able to craft and combine a wide variety of “Karakuri” to support them in their hunt for giant, nature-infused beasts.

By weaving the threads of “Karakuri”, players can create a wide range of items, such as crates or a glider. These items can then be combined to create more powerful “Karakuri”, such as beast-piercing blades, shields, or traps. Players will also be able to transform the hunting ground by crafting specific “Karakuri” that will remain on the field, providing a unique experience unique for each player.

In addition to the “Karakuri” used for hunting, players will be able to craft and use a variety of equipment, each with its own characteristics. From common weapons, such as “Nodachi” and “Bow”, to the more unique “Karakuri Katana” and “Bladed Wagasa”, players will have a wide range of weapons at their disposal to hunt and slay the beasts roaming the lands of Azuma. Whether wielding blazing lava, raging blizzards or miasma, these giant, nature-infused beasts will pose serious challenges for players who will need to use the materials gathered from their hunts to craft new, more powerful weapons if they are to stand any chance of survival.

Players can now pre-order both the physical** and digital versions of WILD HEARTS S on Nintendo Switch™ 2 ahead of its release on 25^th July 2025. The game will feature voices in Japanese, English, French, Italian, German and Spanish, with texts in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Polish.

Based on the beloved 1946 Polish fantasy novel The Academy of Mr. Kleks by Jan Brzechwa, Kleks Academy was recently adapted into a blockbuster film in Poland and, after debuting on Netflix, quickly became one of the top-non English movies on the platform. This game adaptation lets up to four players step into the magical world of Kleks Academy, where every student learns to harness the power of their imagination.

In Kleks Academy, players will create their own avatar and master magical abilities that allow them to create real objects in the game world. With a wave of your wand, you can experiment with spells to find your own unique solutions. Journey beyond the Academy as you embark on adventures in the worlds of famous fairy tales, reliving them from a fresh perspective as you assist beloved characters. But beware: danger looms over the Academy. Will you learn to control your imagination enough to protect it from the forces of evil?

Kleks Academy can be played solo or in up to 4-player online co-op, though co-op is not supported in the demo version available now. In the full release, you will also be able to gather materials and in-game currency to customize your character with new outfits, accessories, and tools.

Get ready to feel the rhythm of rebellion in the year’s most electrifying 2.5D rhythm-action platformer

Barcelona, Spain – 9 June, 2025.

The game will be available digitally for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox X|S, with a physical edition also arriving for PlayStation 5 on the same day.

Set in a dystopian future beneath the ruins of Barcelona, Antro invites players to step into the shoes of Nittch, a lone courier with a mysterious mission and the fate of a city on his back. Traverse the oppressive underground metropolis in a unique fusion of platforming, parkour, puzzle-solving, and music-driven combat, all synced to a genre-spanning urban soundtrack that includes hip-hop, drill, R&B, and electronic beats.

As players descend through the city’s dark layers, they must outwit the ever-present surveillance of La Cúpula, the totalitarian corporate regime that forbids music, bans art, and silences freedom. But in Antro, the revolution moves to the rhythm, and every step you take brings the beat of resistance closer to the surface.

Antro has already wowed players in its playable demo, available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam. With the full release just weeks away, fans can prepare to experience the entire journey in all its musical, rebellious glory.

Antro: A World in Ruins, A Revolution in Motion.

After The Collapse, only 1% of humanity survived, forced to retreat beneath the surface. Deep beneath the rubble of old Barcelona lies Antro, a fractured, decaying underground city divided by class and cruelty.

At its heart stands La Cúpula, a brutal technocratic regime enforcing strict control over thought, movement, and expression. But in the shadows, rebellion stirs—and one unlikely courier may be the key to shaking the system.

Fight back. Feel the rhythm. Reclaim the underground.

Mark your calendars – Antro launches on 27 June for PC (digital via Steam), PlayStation 5 (digital & physical) and Xbox Series X|S (digital). Wishlist now!

Coming Soon, the Ultimate Survival Test. Don’t Let Them Merge

KRAKOW, Poland – June 8, 2025 – Bloober Team, the developers behind the acclaimed SILENT HILL 2 remake, have announced a Fall 2025 release window for Cronos: The New Dawn, their new original survival horror IP. The announcement was accompanied by a new gameplay trailer highlighting intense combat, survival within a hostile nest, terrifying enemies, and the game’s unique merging mechanics. 

Cronos: The New Dawn delivers a haunting journey through time and terror. Set in two eras — the decaying future and 1980s Poland — players are plunged into a world inspired by the real Krakow district – Nowa Huta, where survival means bending time itself. You play as a Traveler, an agent of the mysterious Collective, emerging from a dystopian future to dive back into time and extract people before they perish in the apocalypse. As you explore a world on the brink of annihilation, you’ll encounter grotesque enemies known as the Orphans.

Don’t Let Them Merge

The new gameplay trailer reveals intense survival moments inside the Orphans’ nest, offering a closer look at these terrifying creatures. Orphans are twisted, body-horror monstrosities born from humanity’s darkest nightmares. The trailer showcases their behaviour — exceptionally aggressive and relentless — turning every encounter into a desperate fight for survival. Most importantly, players must prevent them from merging. As previously shown, defeated enemies must be burned immediately. If not, they risk being absorbed by other foes, triggering a merge that creates an even stronger and faster enemy. 

Exploring the Twisted Realms of the New Dawn

Additionally, the exciting new trailer reveals part of the story of a mysterious Predecessor — Traveler ND 3500 — and their cryptic travel log. Players will journey through unsettling post-apocalyptic environments inspired by the existing Polish district – Nowa Huta, where decaying Brutalist architecture is warped and twisted by reality-bending anomalies. 

Cronos: The New Dawn is set for release in Fall 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, and PC via Steam and Epic. Wishlist now on Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, and PlayStation to receive updates on this one-of-a-kind survival horror experience. Stay tuned for more horrors to follow soon.
