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.

LOS ANGELES – June 8, 2025 – LOVE ETERNAL, the unconventional horror platformer about escaping the domain of a selfish god from developer brlka and publisher Ysbryd Games (WORLD OF HORROR, VA-11 Hall-A), will launchon PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in Q4 2025, as seen in today’s PC Gaming Show.

When Maya leaves the dinner table to answer a phone call, she returns to find her family missing, her home destroyed, and her surroundings transmuted into an unfamiliar, eerie landscape reminiscent of the Iron Age. Seek a way out of this strange predicament by navigating the unpredictable liminal spaces and ignoring Earthly laws of physics – but not before confronting the powerful god responsible for her abduction.

Dash through the crumbling chambers of a labyrinthine castle, leaping, flipping, and strategically landing on the floors and ceilings of each puzzle-like room. Plan jump arcs carefully to make use of environmental boons that trigger Maya’s ability to flip gravity in midair, and avoid razor-sharp spikes, shifting lasers, and other deadly obstacles in precision platforming challenges.

Take in vast, desolate landscapes as disquieting ambient tones haunt the god’s domain. Gaze at imposing, yet lonely, statues throughout the realm’s many environments, from undersea caverns to uncanny copies of Maya’s suburban home. Brave encounters with monstrous doppelgängers of Maya’s family and friends, and meet other victims of the deity’s abductions.

“During development we put a lot of time and care into the castle’s atmosphere, creating music and ambience whose interplay expressed a sense of forlornness, and using a painterly style of pixel art to give a sense of a world much larger than the small corners you see as the player,” said Toby Alden, designer at brlka. “We’re looking forward to sharing the secrets of this time-worn realm later this year.”

LOVE ETERNAL will reveal Maya’s attempts at escape on PlayStation 5|4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in Q4 2025 with English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, and Russian language support.

Bend gravity, break reality, and change the lives of four all-too-human aliens forever

MUMBAI/BROOKLYN — June 8, 2025 — 1000 Deaths, the award-winning psychedelic 3D platformer where choices dramatically alter the story and gameplay, developed by Pariah Interactive, enters the mind’s eye on PC via Steam on Thursday, Aug. 7, as revealed at IGN Live today. PlayStation 5 will join the trip down memory lane in a future date. Play a brand-new PC demo, available now as part of Steam Next Fest.

Guide Vayu, Maxie, Terry, and Boga, aliens with problems all too human, through the crossroads of their life. Across three, highly replayable, 20 minute episodes, lead them from birth to death; as they learn about the world, form their identities as teenagers, make their stamp on the world as adults, and look back on the consequences of their actions in their dying days.

Jump into each character’s evolving Headspace, the architectural embodiment of their moods, as a fleet-footed television set, and roam the plains of their embroiled minds in more than 45 eccentric, story-centric stages. Flip gravity, deploy jetpacks, alter levels with toggle switches, and space out.

Collect Broadcasts, videos playing on 1000 Deaths’ TV mascot character’s screen, that illuminate interpersonal conflicts residing within the cast. Choose how to curve their convictions into meaningful life choices to unlock new levels and gameplay mechanics tied to their inner turmoils like fear of commitment, desire for power, and penchant for nihilism. Make peace with each character as they endure the cycle of life, aging, and death, and make vital decisions to steer their lives in drastic directions.

Failure is an option, actually. No sweat! Conflict resolution has consequences, but you can always try again (and again) in a branching, non-linear narrative. Navigate replayable, abstract realities across three episodes with a total of 12 possible endings. Play at your own pace in Story mode, or put your platforming skills to the test in Arcade mode with 47 levels that stretch the bounds of 1000 Deaths’ mechanics.

“I love platformers, especially ones that rely on interesting ways to move around: Super Mario Galaxy, Crash Bandicoot, and modern games like A Hat in Time, and Celeste in particular…” said Prashast Thapan, founder of Pariah Interactive. “How I wanted to make my mark was to put my own spin on how to fuse the joy of play and memorable characters with a narrative structure and themes that you rarely see in platformers.”

“We’re telling stories about weighty topics – the struggles of forming your identity, the darkness that lies at the heart of our beings, how others change us and we change others, and the role that media plays in influencing our desires and decisions. All the major events in 1000 Deaths begin when a character is in front of a TV, and these external influences impact their lives in ways I hope our audience thinks about. We’ve really tried to strike a difficult balance: making a game that’s both fun and thought-provoking.”

1000 Deaths releases Thursday, Aug. 7, on PC via Steam as revealed at IGN Live, with support for text in English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish. Play a brand-new demo today on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest. A PlayStation 5 version is in development, with other platforms to be announced at a later date.

Montreal, QC – June 8, 2025 – Chasing Rats Games, the mischievous minds behind Struggling, just dropped a brand new trailer during the PC Gaming Show for their upcoming title Worship, a Pikmin-inspired, co-op roguelite about blood rituals, cult management, and doomsday devotion.

Following a sucessful kickstarter campaign and funded by Kowloon Nights – a videogame fund supporting amazing indie titles such as Spiritfarer and Sea of Stars – Chasing Rats Games has also revealed the game releases in Early Access on July 16, 2025 exclusively on PC via Steam, inviting players to don the robes of a zealot, carve symbols in blood, and incite the apocalypse alongside friends in online co-op chaos.

Worship is a multiplayer game where up to four players team up to spread their faith, grow their cult, and bring on the apocalypse. Inspired by Pikmin, the game puts a twisted spin on real-time unit control, as players use hordes of loyal followers to fight, explore, and—when necessary—be sacrificed in grisly rites to appease their dark deity. With its striking ink-sketch aesthetic and hand-drawn animations, the art direction walks a razor’s edge between disturbing and delightful, combining gleeful absurdity with unsettling rituals.

Key Features:

• Blood Rites – Draw mystical symbols with blood to cast devastating spells, manipulate your environment, and solve puzzles. 
• Followers are Everything – Command your faithful to fight, carry, destroy, and die for your cause. Their devotion is absolute… and expendable. 
• Ever-Changing World – Each run takes place in a procedurally generated map, filled with rival factions, evolving challenges, and divine tests of faith. 
• Test your Faith with Friends – Complete rituals, earn devotion, and prove yourself worthy in boss encounters before summoning your god into the mortal realm through online co-op multiplayer.

Worship will launch in Early Access on July 16 2025 and is available to wishlist on Steam right now. Stay updated on the game’s official Discord for the latest news straight from the source.
