An emotional journey through isolation, memory, and the boundaries we build.

13 May 2026 – ARTE France announces Beyond the Plastic Wall, a poetic 2.5D narrative adventure where players explore a broken yet beautiful world through the eyes of Hal, a young scavenger driven by a simple mystery: delivering a box of lost letters to their rightful owner. The game is set to release on PC via Steam this year.

In Beyond the Plastic Wall, a chance discovery sets Hal on a journey across a strange and decaying world. From lonely shores to the streets of the last city, players will traverse diverse environments meeting their inhabitants and discovering more of the story behind the letters he carries. Each abandoned place reveals more of what once was, with forgotten machines still whispering to their purpose. 

But Hal isn’t just a traveler, he is a scavenger, who restores what others left behind. Throughout the journey, players will interact with and repair a wide variety of broken devices, engaging with tactile, hands-on puzzles grounded in mechanical logic. Whether it’s restarting a rusted engine, deciphering a coded telephone, or navigating the secrets of an old archive computer, each puzzle presents a unique challenge – while sharing a deeper, interconnected language.

Rendered in a striking blend of detailed pixel art and modern visual effects, Beyond the Plastic Wall brings its environments to life with a distinctive 2.5D style. Rocky coastlines, crumbling infrastructures, and vast concrete expanses create a world that feels both desolate and deeply human.

Key Features

• Narrative-driven exploration focused on emotional storytelling
• Surreal environments shaped by perception and memory
• Subtle puzzle elements integrated into the world
• Atmospheric audiovisual design, enhancing immersion
• A reflective experience exploring themes of isolation and connection

More information about Beyond the Plastic Wall will be revealed in the coming months. Players can wishlist the game on Steam and follow ARTE France on social platforms for updates.

Devs with a history of hits invite players to join Early Access journey for their new title

Gothenburg, Sweden – May 13th, 2026 – Feeble Minds are pleased to announce that their new 1-4 player co-op soulslike, Serpent’s Gaze, will be entering Early Access on May 25th. Developed by key team members behind the 91 metacritic-rated Satisfactory and the cult-hit Goat Simulator series, Serpent’s Gaze blends the handcrafted design and relentless bosses of a soulslike with the power creeping build-creation of roguelikes, all set in an ancient desert that blesses you with secrets with one hand and curses you with the other. 

Serpent’s Gaze features handcrafted levels, with no procedural generation. Every run is unique thanks to a “Curse” system that applies stacking difficulty modifiers to your runs, from invading enemies, to minibosses that will hunt you down. Blessings from deities, gifts from your patron and strange relics can be utilised on your pilgrimage. Choose wisely as you explore endless builds and strategies. A new release date trailer offers a look at the intense combat awaiting any groups of intrepid adventurers willing to take it on.

You play as a scion – given life by the withering tree god Magnolia, with the sole purpose of vanquishing the opposing gods and usurpers who currently rule the lands. Battle through imposing environments inhabited by different factions: the desert and ruins belong to the nomadic Majin, while the city with its cathedrals is inhabited by the proud Attar’Esh. Learn more about the secrets of the desert and the truth behind your patron in a story that subtly unfolds as you play. 

Serpent’s Gaze offers the potential to craft all kinds of fun builds where you can layer skills on top of each other to shape the way you approach combat. Create a character that thrives on quick kills thanks to Aspect of the Plague, which gives you temporary stat points when you kill a foe, supplemented with blessings that increase the duration of buffs and upgrades that scale with your stats. Or don the Aspect of the Bold to gain damage for each point of health missing to start building a character that thrives on revenge. Combine this with a massive health pool, slow health restoration and a relic that can sacrifice your own health to stagger enemies and you will be seeking out pain to return as punishment. 

Feeble Minds is also pleased to announce that a Supporter Pack DLC will be launching alongside the game on May 25th. The pack is aimed at fans who wish to give the project a little extra support during its Early Access journey and will unlock an exclusive skin for each of the four playable characters.

Sydney, Australia, May 13, 2026 – NITRO GEN OMEGA, an RPG turned-based sandbox game, developed by Italian studio DESTINYbit, is finally available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Previously available on Steam in Early Access, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic universe, where machines are ruling the world. Through an innovative turn-based combat system, players will have to survive in this hostile environment by assembling their own team and defeating enemies using a customisable Mech.

The 1.0 version of the game adds a Main Quest, which invites players to embark on an ultimate, epic journey in the desperate attempt to save the world from machines. The story will introduce new characters, cutscenes, and never-before-heard tracks from the soundtrack, further expanding the NITRO GEN OMEGA universe.

At the heart of the gameplay is the original cinematic turn-based combat system. Each turn is divided into a first Planning Phase, where it is possible to decide every move on a timeline; and a second Resolution Phase, where the decision taken will be shown in fully animated anime-style sequences. Players will have to take care of their crew by nurturing bonds between teammates and controlling everyone’s health status, fatigue, and morale through special activities. In fact, the team’s status will deeply impact the battle’s outcomes. It is also possible to explore the wastelands, filled with rogue AI, by accepting contracts and missions. Those will make players accumulate resources and fundamental parts to upgrade their Mech.

A demo* is also available, where it is possible to try the first chapter of the Main Quest.

MindEdges and Skystone Games Announce Automation Love Letter with Eastern European Soul

SAN FRANCISCO – MindEdges and Skystone Games announce AGRONOM, an automation farming game that blends the mechanical depth of Satisfactory and Factorio with the warmth of Eastern European tradition. Build your Martian homestead. Automate your dreams. Grow borscht on an alien world!

You’ve landed on Mars with nothing but a patch of barren red soil and a memory. Gramps Makar’s wife Sofia always dreamed of a home filled with life—with gardens, with purpose, with warmth. Now, on a dead planet in the 22nd century, you’re going to build it for them.

AGRONOM is a love letter to two things: the obsessive optimization of automation games and the human need to create something beautiful. You’ll build production chains that would make any engineer weep—conveyor belts carrying resources, robots tending to greenhouses, furnaces churning day and night. But this isn’t sterile efficiency. It’s cozy. It’s personal. Your robots have personalities. Your base is infused with the folk traditions of old Eastern Europe—painted wood, warm colors, the sense that you’re not just surviving, you’re living.

Dig for resources, build structures, and plant crops. Optimize your production chains to grow food, craft tools, and unlock new regions of Mars. Every upgrade to your base brings you closer to the vision—a thriving settlement where technology and tradition breathe together. The systems will challenge you. The aesthetics will comfort you. And somewhere in the automation loops and the colorful tiles, you’ll find what it means to build a home on an impossible world.

About MindEdges

MindEdges is a game development studio passionate about creating experiences that blend deep systems with heart. AGRONOM represents their vision of automation games that respect both the joy of optimization and the human need for beauty and meaning.

About Skystone Games

Two perspectives, one fight: Work together to battle the forces of darkness as King, Fish

May 12, 2026 – WheelMates developer FireVolt reveal Kingfish, a two-player roguelite cooperative city-builder about managing and defending a kingdom on the back of an ancient leviathan. Kingfish sets sail for consoles and PC via Steam in 2027.

Assume one of two roles in a world covered in a vast ocean filled with monsters and other dangers – Play strategically from above as the giant fish which doubles as the land for the kingdom. Manage resources, build structures, and provide support on the battlefield. On the ground which doubles as the back of the massive seabeast, guide the young King, gathering resources and fighting enemies in real-time combat. 

If King and Fish will survive, they must coordinate and each play their roles. As King, manage the details of life on the back of a giant fish and manage the unique villagers.Pay attention to their needs and preferences to raise morale and have a fighting force ready when it’s time for battle, then respond to immediate invading threats.

Or become the far-seeing Fish and look to the bigger picture – nearby dangers in the sea, resource production, and the layout of the city. Expand the city and organize workers to meet production goals. Alert the King to hostile forces approaching in the darkness of night, and provide support in battle by casting powerful spells.

Share information about enemies, resources, and plans in order to bring peace and harmony to the tiny civilization emerging on the back of the ancient leviathan, and carry on the royal family’s promise and destiny!

“The King and Fish both have incomplete information, and it creates this great dynamic of working together despite having completely different perspectives on the same situation,” said FireVolt. “We wanted to bring a fresh take on city builders, blending real-time strategy and third-person action in an asymmetric cooperative experience..”

Each run brings a new city to build, with new characters to meet, new buildings to construct, and new artefacts to discover, but with returning villagers, who provide special perks to King and Fish.

Kingfish launches on PC via Steam in 2027. For more information about the game, be sure to add it to your Steam wishlist.

About FireVolt

FireVolt is an indie team focused on cooperative game experiences that are easy to pick up and meant to be played together. The team is hard at work on multiple projects – RC car puzzle-adventure WheelMates, chaotic co-op construction sandbox Salvation Denied, and cooperative city-builder KingFish.

Roadmap reveals plans for post-launch content

Los Angeles, CA – May 12, 2026 – Building on its recent Steam launch, Above the Desk is wasting no time expanding its mountain survival experience Above the Snow, revealing a packed post-launch roadmap featuring Endless Mode upgrades, deep automation systems, major quality-of-life improvements, and an upcoming DLC.

Already holding a “Mostly Positive” rating on Steam, the narrative management sim continues to gain momentum as players push deeper into its harsh expedition systems and evolving trail-management gameplay.

The roadmap begins this month with Version 1.1, introducing a redesigned Paths Building Mode, key balance adjustments, UI improvements, trail save/rename functionality, and a brand-new post-story Endless Mode designed to push survival strategies far beyond the campaign.

June’s Version 1.2 update expands the experience further with Photo Mode, improved trail maps, additional buildable structures, and faster, more intuitive route selection tools.

In July, Version 1.3 will deliver one of the game’s most significant system upgrades yet: a scheduler-based automation system, allowing players to assign and optimize crew tasks across their entire survival operation. The update also adds new Endless Mode events, expanded crew selection systems, further balancing, and additional building content.

Looking ahead, the roadmap also confirms a Version 1.4 DLC, currently in development, signaling even more content beyond the core updates.

Blending survival strategy, expedition logistics, and infrastructure management, Above the Snow challenges players to expand fragile mountain routes while balancing limited resources, crew efficiency, and the ever-present danger of the wilderness.

Above the Snow is also available in a Steam bundle with The Alpine Edition, Tiny Bookshop, Farmers Dynasty 2, and Sengoku Dynasty.

Customize your own guns and uncover the mystery of a steampunk island!

Austin, Texas – May 12th, 2026 – Indie developer Realmsoft, in partnership with OI Games, are thrilled to announce that after 14 years in development the weapon-building steampunk metroidvania Clockwork Ambrosia has finally launched on Steam for $19.99. Blending fast-paced 2D run-and-gun platforming with deep weapon customization, Clockwork Ambrosia invites players to build their own arsenal through a wide range of modular upgrades, from screen-filling shot splitters to devastating missile barrages and precision sniper rounds.

“When we first dreamed up Clockwork Ambrosia back in 2012, we had no idea what kind of journey we were embarking upon,” said Nathan Hiemenz, Founder and Developer at Realmsoft. “We’ve learned so much in that time and the game has greatly evolved for the better. Clockwork Ambrosia is a classic metroidvania that mixes oldschool sensibilities and charm with contemporary flourishes like weapon customization. We can’t wait to hear about your adventure on Aspida!”

Utilizing a unique blend of classic metroidvania exploration and modern customization systems, Clockwork Ambrosia offers a fresh take on the genre, combining discovery, experimentation, and fast-paced combat.

Players step into the boots of Iris, an airship engineer stranded on the mysterious island of Aspida following a near-fatal crash. What begins as a fight for survival quickly turns into a deeper mystery, as Iris uncovers a world where the island’s population has vanished, replaced by hostile machines and strange creatures.

Set across a richly detailed steampunk world, players will explore diverse biomes ranging from sky cities above the clouds to overgrown mushroom forests and the depths of sunken ruins. Along the way, Iris will encounter a cast of eccentric characters, from rogue AI allies to curious inhabitants, all while piecing together the truth behind Aspida’s downfall.

Clockwork Ambrosia features:

• 15-20 hour (average) playtime
• Find over 100 unique mods for endless possibilities
• Save and swap between your favorite weapon & mod loadouts
• Pin icons to the map, marking areas for later exploration
• Purchase new mods and items with scrap from the hub village of Borersville
• Upgrade weapons to add mod slots; upgrade equipment to enhance their stats
• Buy enemy drops from the Borersville shop if you miss them during the heat of battle
• Fast travel across the island with unlockable warp points
• Death returns you to your last save point, but (limited) extra lives let you resurrect where you left off
