Tear open a pack. Then another. Then another. Suddenly you’re running a fully automated cardboard processing empire

ANTWERP, BELGIUM (September 24, 2026) – Announcing Rip It! Card Collector, a tactile card-collecting sim and incremental that captures the moreish thrill of opening, collecting, and organising thousands of trading cards. Developed by Cybernetic Walrus, the team behind Order 13 and Roadside Research, Rip It! Card Collector is headed to PC.

Watch the Rip It! Card Collector announcement trailer:

Rip It! Card Collector simulates the satisfying ritual that makes card collecting so compelling. Tear open a pack and see what you’ve pulled before sorting through your haul and cashing in your cards. Then use the potentially life-changing proceeds to fuel increasingly questionable purchasing decisions.

There are over 1,800 cards to track down, making this organise-’em-up a collector’s dream. With everything from standard pulls to elusive super rares to discover, ‘just one more pack’ will quickly turn into hours of meticulously arranging virtual cardboard into one very large binder.

Opening packs by hand will only get you so far. To complete your collection, you’ll need to build out your workstation with new machines and gear to “accelerate” the process. Sell your unwanted dupes and spend the returns on upgrades that will transform your humble desk into a ridiculous card processing monstrosity. 

Rip It! Card Collector key features:

• More than 1,800 cards to collect and organise: Give in to your inner completionist. Open pack after pack and hunt down missing cards to fill out your collection. Bring order to chaos by tidying messy card piles into neatly arranged binders.
• Construct your very own card-ripping command centre: Your workstation comes stacked with mechanical potential. Unlock upgrades to optimise your pack opening. Transform your operation from hand-cranked into automated card processing perfection.
• Chase the rares: A collection isn’t a collection without something painfully difficult to find. Alongside the huge pool of cards, Rip It! Card Collector features expensive cards, secret promos, and super-rare pulls. There’s always another card to find.

Rip It! Card Collector will launch on Steam. Wishlist now for the latest news.

Hit kingdom defence game heads to new platforms alongside first ever DLC expansion

London, UK – September 24, 2026 – Build by day. Conquer by night. Mythwright is thrilled to announce that the critically acclaimed kingdom defence game Thronefall is coming to PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and XBOX Game Pass this November, alongside the launch of the game’s first ever DLC expansion.

Launching on November 11th, Thronefall rides onto PlayStation and XBOX for the very first time, launching simultaneously with the release of ‘Craaghelm’, a major new DLC expansion featuring new units to command, new maps to conquer, and new perks to master.

Thronefall – Craaghelm Expansion:

Ride into battle to defend your little kingdom from a mighty mechanical army in Craaghelm, Thronefall’s first ever expansion. As the final spark of hope for a fading civilization, rally new forces and call upon ancient heroes to help you conquer the mountain, as you explore eight new maps to expand your reign.

• Conquer The Mountain – As the last Dwarven King, descend into the mountain once more to reclaim your ancestral halls from the mechanical Constructs.
• Explore New Territory – Navigate perilous terrain and charge into treacherous new territory across eight themed maps, as moving platforms, lava streams, and blocked choke points demand that you adapt or perish. 
• Gather Your Forces – Command powerful new units, including Axe Throwers capable of striking foes on the ground and in the air alike, and Automatons and Airships that answer chaos with cold steel and steam. 
• Call Upon Ancient Heroes – Call upon The Technician, Siege Engineer, and Dwarven Spirit Warriors to aid you in battle. Defend your kingdom against new enemy units, including the Clockwork Oliphaunt capable of crushing all before it, and Loot Goblins and Leap Bots that gnaw at your economy.
• Discover New Tools – Wield devastating new weaponry forged by Dwarven lords. Dominate close combat with the Dragon’s Roar, or stand steadfast with the dual-shield Twin Bastions. Fortify your victory with new perks, from spiked walls that protect your economic buildings, to healing hot springs that grant health during intense battles.
• Master Your Strategy – Discover new gameplay-modifying mutators, including disorienting volcanic ash, boulders, natural disasters, and more, to take on the ultimate Thronefall challenge.

Craaghelm will be available as a paid DLC expansion on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch on November 11th. (Thronefall base game required.) 

With over 2 million units sold, Thronefall is a minimalist strategy game about building a humble kingdom by day and defending it by night.

New, expanded demo on October 8 will give players their first full taste of the gripping gothic narrative roguelite by critically acclaimed developer Hilltop Studios

DENVER, CO, USA – September 24, 2026 – Rising indie publisher Digital Bandidos and multi-award-winning developer Hilltop Studios today announced that Curse of Resthaven, a gothic narrative roguelite about a doomed island trapped in a six-day time loop, will launch on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 29, 2026.

In this single-player narrative roguelite, players step into the shoes of Ambrose, the newly-appointed governor of a struggling island colony searching for his missing niece, Amalia. Six days after arriving, a cosmic cataclysm wipes out the island of Resthaven. Then Ambrose wakes up on the day of his arrival with just six days to uncover what happened… before disaster strikes again.

Trapped in a time loop, players must trade for resources, upgrade local businesses, interrogate the townsfolk, embark on card-based expeditions, and make strategic choices across repeated runs, using what they learn each time to change Resthaven’s fate. 

A demo is already available on Steam, and completing its core quests will earn bonus gold and skill points for use in the final game. 

A greatly expanded demo will replace this on October 8, 2026, ahead of Steam Next Fest. This will give both returning fans and first-time players a chance to truly begin their Resthaven journey, as progress will be carried over to the full game.

While the current version takes players through shortened two-day loops, this new demo will allow them to experience the full six-day loop used in the final game, as well as all four areas of Resthaven town. 

The standard edition of Curse of Resthaven will retail for US$19.99 (see store for local pricing). 

“The countdown to launch is on!” says game director Scott Christian. “Curse of Resthaven is by far the biggest and most ambitious thing we’ve made at Hilltop, and we’re getting to the point where we can finally let people see the whole thing. October 29 felt like the right day to release a game about curses, time loops, and gothic, eldritch horrors. Two days before Halloween seemed appropriate. 

“We’re especially excited to announce the expanded demo. It will be a proper look at the scope and rhythm of Curse of Resthaven, and we’re really looking forward to seeing what players do with it, whether they played the first demo or are diving in for the first time. Thanks to everyone who’s been following along and supporting us so far. We’re almost there. Or, more ominously, perhaps we’re just getting started. DUN DUN DUN.” 

“Curse of Resthaven is truly a special game thanks to its mix of mechanics as storytelling tools,” says Digital Bandidos CEO Steve Escalante. “It’s been wonderful to see this evolve from concept to prototype to near-final experience, and we’re so proud to support the incredibly talented folks at Hilltop Studios along the way. We’re looking forward to delivering the full Curse of Resthaven experience on PC, Mac and consoles next month.”

Players can wishlist Curse of Resthaven on Steam, PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. The Nintendo Switch version is still in development, with a release date to be announced soon.

The beloved tower defense series returns to where it all began, as players travel back through time to defend the past and change the future 

Montevideo, Uruguay – 24 September 2026 –  Ironhide Game Studio today announced that Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD is out now worldwide on Steam, the App Store and Google Play, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the award-winning tower defense franchise.

Fifteen years after the first creep marched down the road, Kingdom Rush is going back to where it all began.

Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD takes players into the past, returning to the original lands of Linirea at a time when its greatest legends were still ordinary people and a young Vez’nan had yet to become the villain fans know today.

After the Sword of Elynie tears open a portal through time, players must journey into the Kingdom’s history and attempt to stop Vez’nan’s corruption before it takes hold.

“Fifteen years ago, we sent our first wave down a path without ever imagining where it would take us,” said Patricia, Community Manager at the Ironhide Team. “Genesis is our chance to go back to where it all started, while creating something completely new for both longtime Kingdom Rush players and people discovering the series for the first time. The community’s support and feedback helped shape this game throughout development, and we’re incredibly excited that it’s finally in players’ hands.”

Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD features an original campaign spanning 18 handcrafted stages across three landscapes of early Linirea, including the Citadel, the Stormcloud Depths and the distant lands of Arcania.

Players will command 15 towers, 12 heroes and nine spells, combining classic Kingdom Rush favourites with new strategic options as they battle more than 40 enemies from five different factions and face six colossal bosses standing between them and the future.

The game also introduces revamped progression systems, with heroes and spells featuring their own upgrade trees while towers use a shared global upgrade system that can be retuned between stages and reset at will.

Beyond the main campaign, every stage can be tackled through additional modes designed to push players’ strategies in completely different directions.

Classic Mode brings back to the original Kingdom Rush arsenal, challenging players to complete the campaign using only eight classic towers, two iconic spells and a single hero just like it was fifteen years ago.

Iron Challenge throws players against one devastating elite wave with just one life, while Blitz Challenge delivers three fast-paced waves with quicker enemies and increased gold gain.

In Hero Party, players command four heroes without access to spells, while Spell Rush removes heroes entirely and challenges players to survive using towers and faster-recharging spells alone.

“Your support and feedback shaped this game directly, and we can’t thank the Kingdom Rush community enough,” added the Ironhide Team. “Fifteen years in, players are still the reason we get to make these games. Now Genesis belongs to them, and we can’t wait to see the strategies, challenges and stories they create.”

Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis TD is available now worldwide on Steam, Google Play and the App Store.

To celebrate the release, Ironhide Games is launching the game with a 10% discount on Steam, with every game from the franchise also on sale with their lowest prices ever. Ironhide has also partnered with Youtooz on a limited-edition Vez’nan collectible figure, available to order now for a limited time.

Ironhide has also confirmed that development will continue beyond launch, with additional stages, heroes, spells and towers planned through future content updates.

The newest title from Wild Forest Studios invites players to slow down and smell the dragon fire as they set out on a vibrant hand-painted adventure to restore the long-lost bond between humans and dragons.

Thursday 24th September 2026, London, UK – Wild Forest Studio and Curve Games have today launched cosy fantasy farming sim Dragon Shelter on Steam. Available from 6PM BST, and set in a vibrant hand-painted world, Dragon Shelter invites players to embark on a cosy adventure as they work to revive the long-lost bond between humans and dragons – spending their days restoring a dilapidated farm, cooking delicious meals for the townsfolk, and breathing new life into a world simmering with magic. 

Inheriting a run down farm from their grandfather, players will need to befriend several unique  (and adorable) dragons, each with their own elemental magic to assist them with daily tasks – from chopping wood and watering crops, to tending livestock and terraforming land, the dragons will prove invaluable to the renovation efforts once their trust has been earned. It’s not just the farm that needs bringing back to life though, players will need to reconnect with the local townsfolk, learning their stories, cooking them food, and completing their quests as they chase away the gloom that has fallen over the town. 

Your New Adventure Awaits: 

Each dragon in Dragon Shelter uses their specific skill set to assist players in different ways – the fire dragon can use their flames to burn through weeds creating ash for fertilizer or light the forge so the blacksmith can use his anvil once again. And the water dragon can use their elemental powers to help players water their crops, tend to their livestock, and even create culinary delights in the kitchen. While the earth dragon – a sleepy, good-natured lump of a companion – quietly enriches the soil and looks after earth livestock, the electric dragon, shy until they decide you’re safe, tends to their own enchanted plants and creatures with a lasting loyalty once that trust is earned.

Oleg Babenkov, Game Director, Wild Forest Studio, said: “Creating Dragon Shelter has been its own kind of magic – and we are so excited to finally share that magic with the world. We hope players enjoy their new adventure, building, restoring, and healing the fantastical world we’ve created alongside their new dragon companions!”

Rich Keen, VP Publishing, Curve Games, said: “Wild Forest Studio have created something truly special. The magic of your dragon’s companionship whilst you cook, tend crops, craft and explore is a truly memorable and unique experience.”

Dragon Shelter Key Features:

• Dragon Management – Befriend, nurture, and assign dragons to activities around your farm
• Magical Farming Systems – Grow enchanted crops with unique properties
• Cooking and Crafting – Meals strengthen bonds with the townsfolk and unlock new opportunities
• Seasonal Changes – Four distinct seasons shaping gameplay, festivals and activities
• Town & Relationships – Build bonds with a growing community of characters

Six games from the Commodore Amiga’s most claustrophobic action series arrive with dual-stick controls, online co-op, a brand-new Horde Mode, and a Virtual Museum full of material that was never supposed to leave the studio

DOVER, Del., Sept. 24, 2026 — Thirty-five years ago, Alien Breed taught a generation of Commodore Amiga owners that the scariest sound in gaming is a door closing behind you. Commodore is bringing that feeling back in partnership with original developer Team17, and retro preservation platform Antstream Arcade, releasing the Alien Breed 35th Anniversary Collection on PC via Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store, along with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Nintendo Switch version will follow later this year.

Every game from the series’ first era is here, six in all, along with the platform variations that separated OCS (Original Chip Set)  machines from AGA (Advanced Graphics Architecture) ones, original demos, and two decades of archival material that has spent most of that time in boxes and on hard drives.

“I own these games on floppy, on CD32, on original Team17 hard drives I somehow have, and in a box in my garage that I am legally not allowed to describe as organized,” said Peri Fractic, President and CEO of Commodore. “For most of the last 30 years, playing them meant owning the old hardware or knowing someone who did. Now it just means owning a controller. Everyone deserves to feel that tightness in the chest and spend 10 minutes hoping it’s only anxiety and not something … deeper.”

Released in 1991 by Team17, the original Alien Breed took the top-down shooter and made it mean. Ammunition ran out, doors needed keycards, and the intercom counted down a self-destruct sequence that had no interest in how far you were from the exit. Five more games followed across the Amiga’s lifespan, ending with the first-person firefights of Alien Breed 3D and Alien Breed 3D II: TKG, which pushed the hardware harder than most people thought it would go.

The collection includes:

• Alien Breed (1991)
• Alien Breed: Special Edition (1992)
• Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues (1993, ECS and AGA versions)
• Alien Breed: Tower Assault (1994, Amiga and Amiga CD32 versions)
• Alien Breed 3D (1995, Amiga CD32 version)
• Alien Breed 3D II: TKG (1996)

Modern conveniences arrive without sanding the originals down. Dual-stick controls let players aim independently of where they are running, and the classic scheme stays a menu toggle away for anyone who learned these games with one button and a great deal of patience. Instant save states, retro screen filters, and rumble support handle the rest of the quality-of-life work.

Veterans looking for a fresh reason to go back into the corridors have two. Horde Mode is brand new to the series and drops players into escalating waves with whatever they can scavenge. Rush Mode carries online co-op, so the person who used to watch over your shoulder shouting about the ammo counter can now do it from another continent.

THE VIRTUAL MUSEUM

Sitting alongside the games, the Virtual Museum assembles the paper trail: original physical media, marketing art, soundtracks, developer interviews, and material from projects that never shipped: among them, a cancelled Alien Breed for PSP and a cancelled Alien Breed real-time strategy game.

Whether you remember feeding disks into an Amiga 500 in 1991 or you have never seen a floppy outside of a save icon, the collection is built to be both a way to play these games, and a record of how they were made. No disk swapping required this time.
