Macclesfield, UK – 3rd June, 2025 . Batten down the hatches and brace for impact, me hearties! The tide’s turned in Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation! Straight outta the Mix Indie Summer Showcase, Silver Lining Interactive and Ciaran Games LLC have unleashed a new cinematic trailer that drips with retro grit and unhinged fury.

This isn’t your grandma’s hero story. No, this blood-slicked cinematic action trailer casts a spotlight on Detective Stanley ‘Steel’ Press, a so-called do-gooder with a badge and a grudge. In any other tale, he’d be the knight in shining armour. But in Wayne’s warped world of rage and retribution, Stanley ‘Steel’ Press is just another obstacle begging to be blasted to bits.

With an art style dredged up from the golden days of Cartoon Network’s edgier offerings, Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation blends hand-drawn chaos with old-school shooter vibes and a thirst for carnage. It’s loud. It’s mean. And it’s got no room for your moral compass.

So, if your idea of R&R is a bloodbath on the high seas, chart your course to the Steam page, dive into the no-holds-barred, action-packed demo, and slap Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation on your Wishlist. This vacation’s gonna be a killer…

Watch the new blood-thirsty, revenge-fueled Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation cinematic action trailer below.

A Tide-Turning Crusade Across the Seven-and-a-Half Seas!

In this fast-action, blood-drenched FPS, you play as the infamous Captain Wayne, a cigar-chomping, revenge-fueled menace with a shotgun replacing his severed arm, countless explosives, a bad attitude and a knack for creative carnage. Stranded on Orca Isle after a brutal ambush, Wayne sets out to reclaim his stolen ship and unleash hell on the mercenary gang that wronged him – the ruthless “Killer Whales.”

Clad in hot pink, fueled by rage and rum, and wielding an arsenal fit for a sea-demon, Captain Wayne doesn’t just kill; he annihilates. Whether he’s blasting enemies into mist with his double-barreled palm, shredding them with his chain-gun fingers, or reducing them to chum with his explosive Boom Brew, every encounter is a symphony of destruction.

Oh, and let’s not forget the legend behind that shotgun arm. After a deadly clash with the fabled “Vampire Whale” cost him a limb, Wayne bolted “The Captain’s Ol’ Reliable” straight onto his stump and never looked back. Now, he’s got one goal: to make the Killer Whales regret the day they crossed him.

A treasure chest of features: 

  • A brutal, stylized cartoon gore-fest, because who said bloodshed can’t be beautiful?
  • A relentlessly chaotic soundtrack, louder than a cannon blast!
  • 8 massive, enemy-packed areas across the treacherous Orca Isle.
  • Hand-drawn, fully-voiced cinematics that bring Wayne’s unhinged antics to life.
  • An arsenal of over-the-top weapons designed for maximum, messy destruction.
  • Combat so fierce, the ocean itself might just split in half.

So, what the hell are you waiting for? Those Killer Whale scumbags aren’t gonna explode into a fine red mist on their own. Get ready to blast, burn, and butcher your way to vengeance when Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation docks later this year! 

Captain Wayne is just getting started, so stay tuned for more explosive, blood-soaked updates as we get closer to launch! Wishlist now, and don’t forget to get your hands dirty and download the blood-soaked demo on Steam

Deploy Bun-E’s robotic rabbits to block an attacker’s shot on goal. Cross the field with Frostine’s ice slide to rocket down the pitch high above defenders’ heads, or pass it to Kenzo for a fiery bicycle kick. 

Combine those extreme hero powers with real-world soccer tactics to set up epic plays and get the crowd going wild. Mix in an easy-to-learn control scheme to tackle, tap, pass, and aim jaw-dropping scoring kicks, all in the midst of the zaniest soccer action ever seen on Earth. Start playing for free with rotating heroes, purchase the Founder’s Pack to unlock all current and future heroes, and earn coins for skins, emotes, and other cosmetics – no pay-to-win here.

“A lot of us at Run Games are life-long soccer players, and Football Heroes League reflects our love of the game,” said Michael Marzola, Run Games President. “We wanted to take what we love about soccer – the tactics and excitement and spectacle of it – and combine it with our love of arcade sports games and hero shooters. Soccer is for everybody, and we think this is a perfect way for old-school fans and newcomers alike to enjoy it together.”

Tactical RPG “Never’s End” Revealed: Unearth Elemental Synergies to Shape and Save Society

Turn-based tactics merge with highly reactive player-driven systems in a dynamic world 

SALEM, MA – June 3, 2025 – Never’s End, the tactical RPG with systems-driven combat and element-manipulating magic from Hypersect, conjures highly interactive battlefields that reward ingenuity and creative problem solving on PC via Steam and PlayStation consoles soon.

Transcend death as a reincarnated, immortal warrior forged from living metal, able to harness the elements and bend them to your will. Be reborn into a world on the brink of extinction and defend the last surviving human settlement from an apocalyptic force known as the Never. Manipulate fire, water, wind, and earth to permanently alter the environment during challenging turn-based combat, leaving your mark on an ever-evolving world. Clash with undead wights, monstrous bats, demon squid goats, and a host of other soulless constructs brought to life by the Never’s corrupting influence.

Control a band of possessed warriors in an open world, driving back the Never as you help mankind reclaim the ruins of their fallen empire. Upgrade towns, temples, and other locations to build businesses, establish trade routes, and recruit new companions to your cause. Customize your team to explore different equipment, battle formations, and tactical synergies to lay waste to enemies, returning from each journey into the Never with valuable new loot to support a budding economy.

Restore ancient temples to unlock new elemental magic – each a versatile tool that persists through death. Drain rivers dry or flood the battlefield. Create rain and fog to hamper your enemies, or mighty winds to hurl them over cliffs. Freeze your foes or set them aflame. Reshape earth to gain the high ground, or melt it into deadly lava. Every battleground is unique, challenging you to find new ways to use magic and shift the odds in your favor. 

Support your newly reclaimed temples with a growing community of weaponsmiths, tavern keepers, tanneries, logging camps, and more. Explore a world in ruins, beautifully rendered in 3D pixel art with character designs by Masayoshi Nishimura (Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy) and music courtesy of Doseone (Enter the Gungeon).

“Our collective influences from tactical RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre came together to spark a grander idea,” said Ryan Juckett, founder of Hypersect. “Never’s End fleshes out turn-based tactics combat with reactive systems empowering players to co-author the story and make it their own, which is a feeling we loved in Divinity: Original Sin 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Together with Nishimura-san, Doseone, and you, we’re excited to finally get to show you all just how memorable this forgotten world can be.”

Never’s End redefines the creative possibilities of tactical RPG combat, launching on PC via Steam and PlayStation consoles in late 2025.

Latest Bullet Noir Devlog Spotlights Its Vengeance-Driven Cast

Meet the Cop, the Doctor, the Priest, and the Lady

Nice, France, June 3rd 2025 – Developer Wolcen Studio has today released their third devlog for their newly launched neo-noir twin-stick shooter Bullet Noir, which is now available on PC via Steam in Early Access! Meet the four characters who seek to avenge the recently murdered mob boss Vito Spriale.

For more information about Bullet Noir:
Check out the website: https://www.bulletnoir.com/ 
Buy on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3204960/Bullet_Noir/ 

n the third dev diary of the series, Community Manager Meric Cakici introduces the four main characters that make up Bullet Noir’s tale of bloodshed and revenge. The story kicks off with the murder of Vito Spriale, a powerful underworld figure who lived many lives. He wore many faces—protector, father, lover, mentor. Now, those closest to him are ready to burn the world down to settle the score.

The Cop was his son. They didn’t always agree on the law, but Vito was still his father—and his all-guns-blazing style lets him slow time, Max Payne-style. The Doctor owed Vito her life, and returns the favor with deadly precision—each kill briefly slows time, letting you chain takedowns. The Priest, Vito’s blind best friend, sees through faith, using Daredevil-like hearing to reveal enemies across the battlefield. And The Lady, Vito’s lover, fights with intimate fury—her twin katanas grant her brief bullet immunity after every kill, encouraging a bold, relentless approach.

About Bullet Noir

Bullet Noir is the debut title under Wolcen Studio’s new “indie Initiative”, which nurtures in-house grassroots game projects into full releases. This gritty, fast-paced shooter invites players to uncover the backstories of four uniquely driven protagonists, each consumed by a personal vendetta. As the plot unfolds, players will navigate each character’s personal story, intertwined with the larger narrative. 

Bullet Noir’s one-hit-one-kill mechanic offers intense showdowns around every corner, whether you’re charging in guns blazing or opting for a stealthier approach. Navigate through a rain-slicked metropolis of alleys, hovels, and high-rises, and carve your own path through each protagonist’s overlapping quest for vengeance.

Bullet Noir is now available to play on PC via Steam Early Access for $11.99 / £9.99 / €11.79!
