SiN: Reloaded Coming to PC and Console on September 24

The much anticipated remaster is coming to PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch

New York (August 19, 2026) Nightdive Studios — a renowned video game remaster studio and Atari® subsidiary — is excited to announce that SiN: Reloaded, the long-awaited remaster of the 1998 cult classic FPS, will release on September 24 for PC and consoles. This deep remaster of SiN boasts enhanced visuals, modernized control schemes, and includes the Wages of SiN extra mission pack.

Known for pushing the Quake II engine to its limits and its pulpy, cyberpunk-style antagonist, Elexis Sinclaire, SiN is considered both the last of the original-style boomer shooters and an important transitional moment to a more modern approach. The title was an industry trendsetter, featuring a cinematic plot, scripted sequences, non-linear game design, interactive environments, complex maps, and dynamic enemy reactions.

Set in a near-future dystopian world, SiN: Reloaded puts players in control of security consultant Colonel John R. Blade as players take on his nemesis Doctor Elexis Sinclaire. When Elexis, CEO of SinTEK Industries, begins injecting the streets with a DNA-altering drug, it’s time to reassess the laws of morality by facing off against Elexis’ unholy army of genetically-engineered mutants. 

The original SiN was lauded for introducing a groundbreaking level of interactivity. Players can hack their way into computer terminals using DOS-style code, use elevators and security cameras to wreak havoc, and traverse levels using a variety of vehicles, including a forklift, a patrol boat, and a helicopter. Players’ actions have consequences, creating branching paths as the game progresses.

SiN also helped pioneer the ability to knock weapons out of an opponent’s hands and take area-specific damage from their attacks. SiN: Reloaded includes the Wages of SiN mission pack, where players go up against a mafia boss with a new army of dangerous henchmen. Both games have been optimized using Nightdive’s proprietary KEX Engine to play on modern systems, and graphics have been beautifully remastered with new textures. Additionally, control schemes have been modernized and maps have been improved with Nightdive’s established precision.

Key Features:

  • Fans can play the original SiN and the SiN: Wages of Sin mission pack, both optimized using the KEX Engine
  • Players can enjoy beautifully remastered graphics with HD textures and models (up to) 4K resolution at 144 FPS, anti-aliasing, and upgraded 2D screens and menu art
  • Overhauled control schemes and modernized UI for gamepads and mouse & keyboard make playing easier than ever
  • Improved maps throughout the entirety of the game give an upgraded feel across the experience
  • Players can swap between remastered visuals and the original SiN Gold version for an original feel
  • Players can trophy hunt like never before with brand-new achievements 
  • Higher resolution Zak Belika tracks that have been mixed/engineered by Chris Mock
  • A vault filled with exclusive, behind-the-scenes material for diehard fans
  • The Nintendo Switch version of SiN: Reloaded can be digitally upgraded to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for no additional cost.

SiN: Reloaded will be released for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1|2 on September 24th.

PREPARE TO FACE A BRAND-NEW CHALLENGE IN NIOH 3’S FIRST DLC, HELL RISING, OUT NOW!

Fans can glimpse the intense battles that await them in the launch trailer!

Hertfordshire, 19th August 2026 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Team NINJA invite players to once again conquer the Crucible with the release of Hell Rising, the first DLC for their popular dark samurai action RPG, Nioh 3. In addition, Nioh 3’s second DLC, Bloody Insurrection, is currently in development, with more information to be revealed soon. Hell Rising is now available for PlayStation®5 and Windows PC via Steam®.

In Hell Rising, players will travel to the Keian era where they will encounter a version of Edo in the midst of a crisis following the death of the future shogun, Takechiyo. Joined by the one-eyed swordsman Yagyu Jubei and the Spanish envoy Rodrigo, players will explore an emerging mystery surrounding the Spirit Stones. The new open-field map, the Keian era, will feature a hellish wasteland ravaged by the gales of the Crucible, where yokai, human rebels and alchemists from foreign lands roam.

Players will enter the fray with new weapons in their arsenal, the Hoko and Shield for both the Samurai and Ninja Styles, combining the offence of the short spear with the defence offered by the shield. These weapons will allow fans to battle using more tactical manoeuvres, such as flinging the shield at enemies. In addition, players seeking a greater challenge will be able to utilise the Hundred Demon Realms Picture Scroll, a new equipment category, which will allow for customisable battles to be fought and replayed. Enemies will sometimes drop a Picture Scroll as rare loot, and players must achieve victory in the automatically generated battle associated with that scroll to equip the item. These battles can be repeated to allow players to randomly alter one of the scroll’s special effects, as well as strengthening and customising it.

Furthermore, players will be put to the test in a new difficulty setting for those wishing to attempt a third playthrough, the Enlightened One’s Journey. In this extreme difficulty mode, certain enemies will randomly receive a Curse buff that will make them significantly more powerful, but will reward players with divine-rarity items if they manage to defeat them. Players will be also able to further enhance their character builds with divine-rarity Grace set bonuses and powerful special effects. Finally, fans can look forward to developing new strategies for the fierce battles ahead with the introduction of Martial Arts, Skills, Ninjutsu, Onmyo Magic, and a new Guardian Spirit.

In Nioh 3, released in February 2026, players take on the role ofTokugawa Takechiyo, poised to become the next shogun during Japan’s prosperous Edo era. The story unfolds on a larger scale than ever before in series history, covering various eras and regions including Edo Castle, the Totomi region during the Warring States era, the Heian era’s capital city of Kyoto, and, for the first time in the franchise’s history, the Bakumatsu era. Players can freely explore each era as a vast open field, featuring beautiful and distinct environments. 

Before launching into the full game, players have the opportunity to hone their skills in the free demo, which includes both solo play and online multiplayer mode for up to three players on both PlayStation®5* and Windows PC via Steam®**.  Fans can create their own custom character and dive into the turbulent Warring States era, even testing their abilities in an electrifying boss fight against Jakotsu-baba, with the ability to carry over save data to the full version of the game.

* PlayStation®5 users in Germany will need to have a PlayStation®Plus account in order to download and play the demo.

**Cross-play is not supported for online multiplayer mode.

Nioh 3 is now available worldwide on PlayStation®5 and Windows PC via Steam®. The game includes Japanese and English voices with texts in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.

Powerful neutral monsters, meanwhile, can be defeated, captured, and summoned as battlefield allies, giving players new tactical options during combat.

With 1.0, Space Tales delivers the full space opera RTS campaign we always wanted to make.”

With the 1.0 release, Space Tales offers:

  • A story-driven RTS campaign, following Xander Falcon through a full sci-fi saga shaped by family tragedy, ancient races, hostile worlds, and universe-ending threats
  • Replayable survival mode designed to test players’ base layouts, resource management, and ability to endure escalating attacks on all the maps
  • Modular HUB-based base building, where players expand colonies, secure energy lines, and turn fragile outposts into fortified war machines
  • Three enemy factions to outthink, each with different combat behaviors and strategic demands
  • Colossal boss encounters and capturable neutral monsters, giving players demanding tactical fights as well as powerful battlefield allies they can summon in combat.
  • Deep RTS systems, including resource management, upgrades, unit control, defensive planning, and tactical adaptation

Mold-breaking Deckbuilding Action Card Game, Golden Swirl, Coming On September 9th

Strategy meets action-combat evasion in a dark fantasy world full of difficult choices and fascinating characters

Hong Kong, China – August 19th, 2026 – Snako Production and Infini Fun are pleased to announce that their mold-breaking fusion of deckbuilding strategy and action-combat evasion, Golden Swirl, is coming to Steam on September 9th. Golden Swirl is a semi-real-time action card game where you control your character to dodge enemy attacks and reposition to strike back with your cards, balancing deck-building with tactical movement. 

Move, dodge, and seize the perfect moment to play your cards amidst the clash of steel and magic. Utilize the timing of every card played to reposition and adjust your attack vectors. With four characters to choose from, each with their own unique starting relics and card pools, and over 120 cards and over 100 relics to add to your collection, you can forge unique builds tailored to match your playstyle and discover deep synergies to craft devastatingly effective strategies.

Explore 5 wildly distinct Acts, each guarded by formidable, unfathomable foes lying in wait. In these procedurally generated dungeons, you will meet maddened merchants and silent swordsmen with their own tales to tell. Every interaction and every difficult choice you make will sway the Golden Will, permanently altering your combat rewards and resource progression. As the Golden Will shifts, NPCs themselves transform — changing their appearance, altering what they offer in trade, and granting new cards that hit harder but come laced with negative side effects.

Golden Swirl is set in a dark fantasy world, scored to a rousing soundtrack. The deities have fallen after  the “Great Dreamer” invaded the realm and the Black Moon twisted into a colossal Swirl poised to devour everything. You represent the last glimmer of hope: “The Nameless One”. You must step into the treacherous Golden Swirl and uncover the ultimate truth behind this apocalyptic cataclysm.

Key Features

  • Deckbuilding Strategy x Real-Time Action: Utilize the timing of every card played to reposition and adjust your attack vectors. Break free from the static, turn-based exchanges of traditional card games!
  • 4 Playable Characters: Four playable characters with unique traits and card pools

  • A Threefold Strategy: Over 100 relics, 120 cards, and a rich array of card runes allow you to forge unique builds and discover deep synergies
  • Greed x Fear: Choices make ripples through the “Golden Will”, subtly yet fundamentally twisting your deck’s composition 
  • Procedural Dungeons & Interactive NPCs: Every expedition is unique and not every soul you encounter is a friend…
  • Dark Fantasy Story: Dive into a rich mythology, encounter tragic tales and avert an apocalyptic cataclysm

Experience Terror Through The Eyes of a Child With Baptiste’s Psyche-Shredding New Trailer

Step into the shoes of a traumatized child to escape a reality-bending nightmare this fall.

August 19, 2026 – Spanish indie studio Firenut Games and Digital Dreams today released a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming survival horror title, Baptiste, which will strike fear into the hearts of players this fall on consoles and Steam

The new trailer sets the stage for the reality-blurring journey that awaits in Baptiste, offering a glimpse of the game’s cast of characters and the eerie, isolated mansion players will explore as they face off against supernatural forces and their own inner demons in a fight for survival.

At the center of Baptiste’s narrative-driven adventure is Tom, a child who frees an eerie doll from its display case and is thrust into a fear-soaked journey. Through his eyes, Baptiste explores how tragedy and loss can fracture a family’s reality, and how a child struggles to cope with the emotional scars of devastating events.

Baptiste draws inspiration from classic horror tales like the allegedly possessed doll Annabelle and R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps story Night of the Living Dummy, as well as fan-favourite psychological horror games such as P.T., Layers of Fear, and the Outlast series. The game combines exploration and environmental storytelling as players explore an ominous mansion, piece together clues, and solve puzzles to uncover its dark secrets and the story behind the game’s titular living doll.

Following a family tragedy, Sara and her son, Tom, seek a fresh start at Jagged Shore Cliff, but it quickly unravels into a new nightmare. In their new and mysterious home, a dusty cabinet holds Baptiste, an unsettling doll accompanied by an ominous warning: “Never release this from its glass prison.” What ought to have been a shelter becomes the scene of a nightmare that defies all logic, putting their sanity and desire to survive to the test. 

Rather than rely on jump scares, Baptiste’s take on the psychological horror genre combines atmospheric tension and emotional depth, exploring how tragedy and loss can fracture a family’s reality, particularly through the lens of a child attempting to cope with intensely traumatic events. It also examines the descent into madness, blurring the lines between what is real and what is a nightmare, reflecting the fragile state of the mind under extreme emotional distress to tell a story of human vulnerability. 

KEY FEATURES

  • Total immersion: Submerge yourself in a first-hand experience where the line between the game and reality blurs further with each step you take. 
  • Suffocating atmosphere: Explore a mansion where horror awaits in every shadow. 
  • Tormented protagonist: Play as a young man still suffering from a terrible tragedy. Can you keep control against the siege of his inner demons? 
  • Bloodthirsty mysteries: Unravel a gruesome mystery. Each discovery will reveal a story of pain and horror that beggars belief.

AVAILABILITY

Baptiste launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC via Steam later in 2026.

A Cyberpunk Hacking RPG Told Entirely in Static and Secrets

August 20, 2026 | Signal detected. Someone’s listening. Alp Arslan is excited to announce that Radiotext, a cyberpunk hacking game about a long-lost 90s communication network, is set to release on September 30th. A free demo is available now on Steam.

You’re handed a USB stick by a stranger in a quiet alley. Inside is Radiotext, a long-abandoned 90s communication network. As a newcomer, you’ll talk your way through forgotten channels and the lives left behind, some friendly, some broken, some not even alive, and uncover a cyber activist uprising against corporate overlords fought entirely over these airwaves. Will you join them?

Wishlist and Play the Demo on Steam

Built Different: The Design Behind Radiotext
The developer previously worked on the tabletop RPG sourcebook Historica Arcanum: Serenade for the Damned, which won a Silver ENNIE Award for Best Adventure – Long Form, and Radiotext leverages some genuinely distinctive design choices:

  • Although it looks 3D, Radiotext actually runs in 2D, keeping the game’s size, RAM, and VRAM allocation to around 200MB, even at 4K with realistic environments.
  • It’s built with modding in mind, the demo and full game includes a modding guide, letting players quickly create their own stories, NPCs, and puzzles.
  • Similar to the asynchronous multiplayer notes in Dark Souls and Death Stranding, Radiotext features an in-game social media platform similar to X, where players can post and see other players’ messages mixed in with NPC messages.

About the Game
In a quiet alley next to a busy street, you are handed a USB stick by a woman you don’t know. If you want to see what’s inside, plug it in.

Radiotext is software built in the 90s, allowing people to communicate using radio waves. In this long-lost network, you are a newcomer, a stranger. By talking with the users inside, piece together what is going on in this old net and become part of the culture.

Establish links across forgotten channels. Meet lives left behind. Some are friendly. Some are broken. Some aren’t alive. Learn and adapt to your new environment.

Dive deep inside the long-lost communication network and explore the wideband. There are strange people to talk to and various mysteries to be solved inside your terminal. Hear static whispers. Decipher frequencies. Piece together the deeper story inside the noise.

They will ask who you side with. The answers you give ripple across the net. Trust is fragile. Some of them lie, some tell too much. And there might be a mole inside.

Key Features

  • Retro Interface: Old terminal aesthetic, typing mechanic, authentic sound effects
  • Unique Voices: A unique cast of characters, each with a story worth unraveling
  • Branching Paths: Choices ripple across conversations, choose your words wisely
  • Customizable UI: Colors, node placement, make the terminal your own
  • Hidden Choices: Not every option is in plain sight
  • Short & Sharp: A complete story in 3-4 hours
  • Multiple Endings: The network never plays out the same way twice
  • The Network Never Sleeps: The story ends. The network doesn’t, keep exploring, you don’t know what you’ll find
