New Den of Wolves Gameplay Trailer Premieres at PC Gaming Show 2025

Featuring visual upgrades such as ray tracing support, and teases how the stealth system will work

10 Chambers, founded by PAYDAY creator Ulf Andersson, unveiled a new gameplay trailer for Den of Wolves at PC Gaming Show 2025, highlighting stealth mechanics in a corporate showroom set in dystopian Midway City. The tension escalates as players attempt – and ultimately fail – a high-stakes infiltration, setting the tone for the game’s blend of strategy, improvisation, and chaos.

Den of Wolves is a 4-player co-op heist FPS set in 2097 Midway City, where unregulated corporate power and invasive neurotechnology rule. As criminals for hire in this hyper-capitalistic setting, players execute “unauthorized errands” including industrial espionage, sabotage, assassinations, and data theft.

Following the trailer, the show spotlighted 10 Chambers in a behind-the-scenes studio portrait segment, featuring interviews with Ulf Andersson, Simon Viklund, and Anders Svärd. The team spoke about the game’s most ambitious feature to date: The Dive.

“The Dive is essentially what occurs when you hack into someone’s mind,” explained Andersson. “It allows players to be catapulted from an intense gunfight directly into an entirely different scenario – whether that’s bouncing around in zero gravity or evading monstrous creatures in a Norwegian forest. As long as it’s engaging and collaborative, the possibilities are endless.”

The trailer displays notable visual enhancements, including the use of ray tracing, which significantly improves lighting, reflections, and shadows.

“We continue to work closely with our friends at Unity. Last year, Den of Wolves was one of the flagship games that transitioned to Unity 6, resulting in improved visuals and performance. By now adding ray tracing to the mix – it looks prettier than ever”, says Oscar J-T Holm, co-founder of 10 Chambers.

About 10 Chambers

Founded in 2015 by Ulf Andersson, creator of the PAYDAY franchise, 10 Chambers is a Stockholm-based game studio dedicated to building high-intensity cooperative experiences. Their debut title, GTFO, launched in 2019 to critical acclaim. More info at www.10chambers.com.

NIGHT COMES FOR VALE SANGORA – WATCH THE NEW GAME TRAILER FOR THE BLOOD OF DAWNWALKER

Tune in for the Gameplay Reveal Event on 21 June

During this year’s Xbox Games Showcase, the Rebel Wolves pack and Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed the newest Game Trailer for the upcoming dark fantasy action RPG, The Blood of Dawnwalker.The showcase trailer also confirmed the game will release in 2026, and is now available to wishlist. The trailer also offers the first glimpse of pre-beta gameplay footage. Watch the Showcase trailer below to follow Coen – a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, human by day and vampire by night – as he comes to grips with his newly acquired abilities.

On June 21, Rebel Wolves will reveal even more details about The Blood of Dawnwalker during the summer solstice – a moment when the Earth’s northern hemisphere experiences the longest day of the year, while the opposite hemisphere undergoes its longest night. Shrouded in tales and myths for centuries, the solstice has been seen as a time when the veil between day and night blurs, bringing unexpected outcomes.

The Rebel Wolves pack would like to invite everyone to a special solstice livestream on June 21 at 9 PM CEST (12 PM PDT , 3 PM EDT, 4 AM+1 JST) on the /DawnwalkerGame Twitch channel. The event will reveal approximately 15 minutes of new gameplay content, accompanied by an extended developer commentary. The show will be hosted in English and will be co-streaming friendly – the studio invites everybody to join and share the experience together.

The upcoming 45-minute solstice livestream will shed more light on several key gameplay features already hinted at in the above trailer, including the directional combat system that blends swordfighting, spells, and vampiric powers. The developers will also demonstrate how players navigate Vale Sangora’s diverse locations and further explore the game world and highlight the gameplay differences between day and night, which will have a significant impact on the story and its course.

“It’s been a pleasure to finally show you more of the game, and I want to thank our community for the incredible support. Back in January, when we first revealed the game, we promised to shed more light on the gameplay this summer—and that moment has finally arrived”,says Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves. “We’d like to invite you to join us on 21 June for our Gameplay Reveal Event. You’ll learn more about the abilities Coen gains as he becomes the Dawnwalker – a mysterious being balancing the line between the world of day and the realm of night.”

The Blood of Dawnwalker is the first chapter of Rebel Wolves’ original dark fantasy saga. Fourteenth-century Europe is engulfed in chaos – bloody wars tear the continent apart, and the Black Death claims a deadly toll. This moment of weakness is seized by a clique of powerful vampires. The time of great change is coming – for everyone.

Play as Coen – a young man who has become a Dawnwalker – a being no longer fully human, yet not entirely a vampire. With just 30 days and nights to save Coen’s family or exact bloody revenge on his sire, regardless of the consequences or the cost of Coen’s thirst for blood. But the most important question for players remains: is it worth sacrificing your humanity for the ones you love?

The Blood of Dawnwalker is being developed on Unreal Engine 5 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. More details can be found on the official website: dawnwalkergame.com.

Shiro Games Unveils New SpaceCraft Gameplay Overview Video at IGN Live 2025

Seamless transitions from stations to ship to surface highlighted in all-new gameplay overview with developer commentary

BORDEAUX, France – June 9, 2025 – SpaceCraft, the multiplayer interstellar space sim and automation adventure fromNorthgardDune: Spice Wars, and Wartales developer Shiro Games, debuted new gameplay footage in a developer commentary video during IGN Live 2025. SpaceCraftvoyages among the stars on PC via Steam in late 2025. 

A century of warfare has left humanity devastated and reawakened a dormant alien force hidden deep within the Earth known as the Tripods. Their uprising has pushed what’s left of Earth’s population to the brink of extinction. In a last-ditch effort to survive, a remnant of human survivors fled the planet through a mysterious portal, unaware of their destination. Now marooned in a distant and uncharted galaxy, they must rebuild civilization from scratch.

The new gameplay commentary video starts in one of SpaceCraft’s space stations: huge interplanetary hubs of trade activity and resource refinement. Fly a fully customizable ship into open space using elegantly simple controls to chart a trajectory and set propulsion levels. Find new planets, then seamlessly navigate from open space into the upper atmosphere and down to the surface, scanning new mineral structures and flora to identify promising resource nodes.

Back in the hangar, modify any ship to suit the mission at hand. Fit external components like weapons and mining gear to hardpoints, or completely alter the design with new modules. Each change impacts the handling profile and speed of the ship, so carefully consider each addition! 

Traverse planets on foot to gather certain materials, taking care to avoid planetary hazards. As teased in the overview, SpaceCraft’s progression curve encourages automation by establishing mining facilities. Once built, networks of resource extractors, cargo ships, and drones allow players to develop full interplanetary industrial enterprises. Team up with other players to form corporations and set up shipping routes to connect each node of the network – the opportunities for optimization are endless!

SpaceCraftis an ambitious game for us, and one I’ve always dreamed of making,” says lead designer and Shiro Games CEO Nicolas Carnasse. “One of the things Shiro always strives to do is combine big design ideas in a way that just makes sense when players pick it up, and I think SpaceCraftis a perfect example of that philosophy.”

SpaceCraft is set to launch on PC via Steam in late 2025. For more information, wishlist the game on Steam and follow SpaceCraft and Shiro Games on X (formerly Twitter).

About Shiro Games 

Shiro Games is an independent Bordeaux-based studio founded by video game veterans Sebastien Vidal and Nicolas Cannasse to bring new innovative games to life. Based in Bordeaux, France, the studio released its first project Evoland in 2013 and its acclaimed sequel Evoland 2 in 2015. Shiro Games then launched its popular Viking strategy game Northgard on Steam in 2018, which has gone on to sell more than 3 million units across various platforms as well as Dune: Spice Wars, the spice-infused blend of 4X and RTS gameplay. Wartales is their latest title, with several major DLC additions since its release in April 2023.

About FINAL FANTASY XVI

FINAL FANTASY XVI introduces players to an original standalone story in the FINAL FANTASY universe, an epic dark fantasy that takes place in the realm of Valisthea – a land blessed in the light of the Mothercrystals, and where peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions. The fate of the land is decided by the Eikons, mighty summoned beasts and their Dominants, men and women who have been blessed with the ability to call upon and wield them. This is the tale of Clive Rosfield, a warrior granted the title “First Shield of Rosaria” and sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire.

Players will follow Clive and company during their investigations as they encounter a group of suspicious traders, leading them to a long-abandoned Fallen tower known as the Sagespire and the terrible secrets that await within.

The second, and final DLC chapter, “The Rising Tide,” brings an all-new story, battles, sidequests, weapons, accessories, level cap and more, adding a new depth to Clive’s journey before the exciting conclusion of FINAL FANTASY XVI. Players will gain new Eikonic abilities, explore a beautiful new area in the hidden land of Mysidia, and dive into battle against the legendary water Eikon, Leviathan the Lost. This DLC also adds brand new end-game content with the Kairos Gate, where players will challenge 20 stages of intense scored and ranked battles against waves of enemies.

PARIS June 8, 2025 – Planned for release in 2026, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a prequel set 15 years before the events occurring in the A Plague Tale series. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand-new take on the universe created by Asobo Studio, pushing the franchise’s ambition even further.Watch the reveal trailer now for a look at the new adventure that awaits in the grounded and captivating world of A Plague Tale!

This announcement confirms the renewal of the partnership between Focus Entertainment Publishing and Asobo Studio, whose collaboration dates back to the birth of the multiple award-winning series.

“We wanted to expand and explore the world of A Plague Tale with a character – Sophia – that is very close to our heart, but within a much more action-oriented experience,” said David Dedeine, Chief Creative Officer at Asobo Studio. “This fresh approach comes with intuitive and rewarding combats, as well as a brand-new manifestation of the Macula, the ancient evil. Resonance embraces themes, places and eras that we had never explored before. Taking on this challenge was only possible with Focus Entertainment, who knows our world inside out and with whom we share common trust and ambition.”

“We are, once again, thrilled to work in collaboration with Asobo Studio. Our partnership proved, over the years, that we share a common passion and ambition for the franchise,” said John Bert, Managing Director at Focus Entertainment Publishing. “Expanding the world of A Plague Tale with Sophia, a character already close to our heart since Requiem, is exciting and we can’t wait to hear what our fans think! Blending myth and combat in this new opus promises to be a great opportunity for all to embark on a new adventure.”

Venture to a mythical island where danger awaits and unravel its secrets

Set 15 years before the events of Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run but determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story melding combat, myth and fate for a totally new take on the universe of A Plague Tale.

Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’s Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, and solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon reveal itself. As you journey deeper into the island’s heart, you’ll confront the truth behind a long-buried curse…

  • Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters.
  • Shift between the Middle Ages period of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present. Unfold a new story in the universe of A Plague Tale through the entwined destinies of two heroes linked by fate and the Macula’s mysterious legacy.
  • Guided by the knowledge safeguarded in your notebook, follow in your crew’s footsteps to explore a richly detailed world, unravel its secrets, and face deadly trials. Use a stolen Minoan sphere to solve ingenious puzzles by manipulating light – a force woven by Daedalus into the island’s very heart.
  • It is said that only a few came back from the island. Lurking in the shadows lives a restless presence. It follows you around, seemingly knowing your every move, as it hunts through the island’s depths. Every step is a risk. Every pause, a potential end. You can’t stop, only hide, outsmart, and push forward. Can you survive each trial, or will you join those who never came back?

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is planned to release in 2026 and will be available on Xbox Series X|S Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam.

Sky-High Survival Odyssey ‘ATMOSFAR’ Soars into Steam Early Access in 2026 

Prepare for lift off in an out-of-this-world 1-4 player survival adventure 

Tokyo, Japan – June 8, 2025 – Shueisha Games and Apog Labs are proud to introduce ATMOSFAR, an epic aerial odyssey set high among the clouds of a vast alien planet, soaring to Steam Early Access in 2026. 

Take off for a sky-high survival adventure across the planet Tycos, a cosmic world of floating islands, extraterrestrial artifacts, and undiscovered lifeforms, on a voyage to uncover the fate of your collapsed colony. Cruise the skies as a solo pilot or assemble a squadron with friends in up to 4-player co-op, in an out-of-this-world adventure that combines aerial exploration with base-building, resource management, ground-based expeditions, and gear upgrades. 

Scavenge scrap to engineer and upgrade your Wasps, a fleet of flying vehicles each with their own unique appearance, abilities, and aerodynamics. Deploy a foldable camp with the Utility Wasp, airlift heavy scrap with the Cargo Wasp, surveil the skies with the Scout Wasp, and evade threats from hostile lifeforms with the Fighter Wasp. 

Pilot the Cloud Cruiser, a colossal, customisable mobile airship that functions as your base of operations. Upgrade your ship with additional nuclear reactors and research desks, maintain your Wasps from the hangar, furnish the lounge area to your liking, and take to the flight deck to soar into uncharted territory. 

Explore diverse biomes across Tycos, discovering mysterious flora, fauna and wildlife while taking shelter from the planet’s harsh weather conditions. Find artifacts to upgrade and expand your arsenal of tools and equipment, unlocking new abilities to reach new heights, survive Tycos and lay the foundation for humanity’s furthest outpost in this sci-fi survival adventure.

Game Features: 

  • A Sky-High Survival Odyssey: Embark on an adventure across the floating islands of Tycos, exploring extraordinary alien locations on-foot and from the air in a survival adventure set among the clouds.
  • 1-4 Player Co-op Survival Adventure: Take to the skies as a solo pilot or assemble a squadron with friends in up to 4 player multiplayer co-op. 
  • Survive Tycos: Discover distinct and diverse biomes across a mysterious alien world while surviving the planet’s range of weather conditions, including turbulent thunderstorms, blusterous blizzards and ferocious sandstorms. 
  • Voyage Into the Skies Above: Operate and maintain your Wasps, a fleet of flying vessels each with their own unique functionality, and take flight across the skies of Tycos. Jump into the pilot’s seat of the Utility Wasp or the heavy-lifting Cargo Wasp to help build out your camp and gather resources, or cruise the skies above with the planet-surveilling Scout and the nimble Fighter. 
  • Command the Cloud Cruiser: Pilot and manage the Cloud Cruiser, a colossal, customisable mobile airbase. Craft new tools and modules, building and upgrading your Cloud Cruiser with new technologies to reach new heights and soar into undiscovered locations.
