Glum’s reluctant adventures will kick off this month
Aalborg, Denmark, May 1 2025 – CinderCat Games is delighted to announce that their comedic action-adventure title GLUM will be launching for PC in Early Access on Steam on May 22nd, 2025!
Developed and published by CinderCat Games, GLUM stars a grumpy, misfit goblin with a magical boot and a serious chip on his shoulder. After a career of serving his overlord through broom duty, our (very) reluctant hero finds himself facing a job well above his minion paygrade as he sets out on a quest to rescue his kidnapped boss in a journey of magical ass-kickery and whimsical violence.
Come May 22, GLUM will invite you to become the menace you were always meant to be, as you kick your way through a crude and chaotic world. Enemies? Kick ‘em. Obstacles? Boot ‘em. Anything else in your path? Well, if it looks kickable, it probably is.
You can plan out your attacks (or just wildly kick everything that moves, we’re not the boss of you), rack up points for obscure combos, oh, and figure out where your overlord is while you’re at it (no biggie). Each new level will give you the opportunity to acquire new abilities, offering all-new ways to teach your foes to love the taste of boot.
About GLUM
Kick first, ask questions never: Use well-timed kicks and quick movements to launch enemies into walls, traps, and each other in chaotic physics-based combat. Need more firepower? Charge up your boot to cast spells and punt those enemies straight to boot camp. To Glum – everything’s a weapon if you just kick it hard enough.
Journey into the wacky realm of Damoros: Follow the trail of your kidnapped boss through a world where rival overlords rule with ridiculousness, chaos is just another Tuesday, and one man’s catastrophe is another man’s comedy.
Embrace whimsical violence: Combine kicks, spells, and environmental chaos for ever more creative destruction. As Glum, you’ll unlock new magical powers for your boot, proving that even the least qualified anti-hero of Damoros can kick his way to notoriety in this darkly comedic misadventure.
CinderCat Games is a Danish indie game studio founded in 2022 as newly graduates. CinderCat Games as a company strives to create strong game IPs with loveable characters, humour and attitude that resonates with players around the world.
TOKYO, April 30th — The uncensored and uncut English release of the latest adult title from 3rdEye, developers of Sorcery Jokers, The Pillagers of Raillore, is finally available for pre-order on the MangaGamer store with a slated release date of May 29th, 2025. Customers who pre-order can save themselves 15% off the retail price of the game.
All the people in the world have awakened to unique abilities called ‘Dunamis’. As these special powers become rooted in people’s everyday lives, their value system changes, and those who lack powers are the ones who are treated as strange. With the passing of the ages, the environment has changed completely, while society has greatly regressed. The overall population of mankind has diminished as well, and most of the world is made up of wastelands and greenery dotted with the weathered ruins of the world before.
The City of Raillore.
With brickwork buildings like those of the Middle Ages, developed over land graced with lush greenery and rivers. With the concept of nations gone from the world, Raillore exists as something of a self-sufficient commune. The Order of Security and Regulatory Knights – AKA the Regulatory Corps – serves as a government organization in charge of handling crime prevention and other tasks that require force of arms.
But things begin to change as odd incidents take place, one after another…
Those possessing abilities different from those of Dunamis begin to appear. The people fear this power and the phenomena it causes, and those capable of it are designated as ‘Errors’. The sudden appearance of these Errors is regarded as a disease, and the handling of Errors is placed under the jurisdiction of the Regulatory Corps. As people tremble in fear of the vicissitudes of the changing times, there are those who try to open a way to the future with their own strength…
For more information on The Pillagers of Raillore, as well as other titles from MangaGamer, be sure to join the discussion on Discord or follow MangaGamer on Twitter, Bluesky and Facebook. You can also check out the staff blog for comments from the staff and other featured articles!

Sydney, Australia, May 1st, 2025: Milestone and MotoGP™ are thrilled to announce the release of MotoGP™25. The newest chapter of the official MotoGP™ videogame is now available for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
In this new instalment, players will be able to fully express their passion, skills, and mental strength, their Heart of Racing, to the fullest, with revamped features and new modes that provide a cohesive and immersive experience for everyone. The new Race Off modes allow players to train like real-life riders in three unique and very different disciplines. From the off-road Flat Tracks, to the fast Motards, up to the agile Minibikes, players will be able to test and perfect their skills. With different physics and handling, these bikes will be available in standalone events, but also, they will be an important part of the renewed career mode, where players will be able to improve both their character and their relationships with the other riders.
MotoGP™25 offers everyone the chance to express their love for racing regardless of their skills level, thanks to the new Arcade Experience and Pro Experience. The former offers a game experience that immediately immerses players in the action, while preserving the true essence of the sport. This option offers a simpler style of gameplay, allowing fans to live the life of a MotoGP™ rider without having to think too much about the technical aspects of the bike. On the other hand, the Pro Experience promises to be the pinnacle of simulation. Players will be able to tune and set up numerous elements for truly personalised gameplay sessions.
The career mode introduces a new Turning Points system. Players will now have the opportunity to choose their path more freely, with their objectives and rivals changing based on their ultimate goal. These may include securing the contract of their dreams or leading a lower field team to the top of the grid. The Riders Market and the FIMMotoGP™ Stewards are back, along with a new Bike Development System. In this new feature, communication with the team is fundamental, as the bike will evolve around players’ feedback, bringing the virtual experience even closer to reality.
Importantly, MotoGP™25 includes new bike sounds, recorded on track in collaboration with the official MotoGP™ teams. This new recording method has resulted in a richer and more complete sound compartment, which will create a bigger sense of immersion for players, who will feel like being on the real track. The new sound presets offer an even more customisable gameplay experience for everyone. From the Passion one, for the crowd lovers, to the Focus one, for those who want to concentrate on the race.
Whether it is against friends or other riders from all over the world, the full Cross-play* allows players to test their abilities, while the new ranked races will establish a balanced competition based on skill level. The LiveGP Championship* will introduce new challenges that will push players to improve even further and become the best on the grid. For those who want to compete from the comfort of their couch, the two-player local split-screen is the perfect choice.
Creativity will be freer than ever with the power of the game editors. Players will be able to unleash their imagination to create incredible customisations and share them with the rest of the community*. There is also the opportunity to create the helmet of one of the twenty-two MotoGP™ riders with the Helmet Contest. Those who will submit their creation during the contest period will have the chance to be selected and see their design in a real MotoGP™ race.
The lights are out, the new MotoGP™ chapter is here. Who will be the next champion?
MotoGP™25 is available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Mayhem-fueled gameplay footage showcases how the iconic Borderlands experience is reaching new and thrilling heights
Sydney, Australia – 1 May, 2025 – Today, during a dedicated PlayStation’s State of Play, 2K and Gearbox Software shared an extended look at the action-packed gameplay coming in Borderlands® 4, the next entry in the iconic looter-shooter franchise. Borderlands 4 will launch on September 12, 2025 on PlayStation®5 (PS5®) console, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. It will also be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later in 2025.
In the extended gameplay footage, players were treated to a first look at two of the four new Vault Hunters that will be featured in Borderlands 4. Vex the Siren is a powerful Siren who can empower herself or manifest deadly shades to fight alongside her, while Rafa the Exo-Soldier shines as a former Tediore trooper who wears an experimental exo-suit capable of digistructing an arsenal of weapons. Each Vault Hunter offers a unique playstyle, further augmented through the most advanced skill tree system in a Borderlands game to-date.
Across the vast and seamlessly connected planet of Kairos, players will face the oppressive Timekeeper. For thousands of years, he kept the planet hidden, controlling its inhabitants with cybernetic implants called Bolts and an army of synthetic soldiers known as The Order. Players will travel across the planet where they’ll encounter new and returning characters, creatures and inhabitants to battle, and unique factions spread across four distinct regions that seek freedom from the tyranny of the Timekeeper. The friends discovered along the way will be recruited by players to their cause while enemies will experience first-hand the arsenal of weapons and abilities wielded by the Vault Hunters.
As seen in the explosive footage shared during PlayStation’s State of Play, Vex and Rafa tear a path through a secret blacksite in Terminus Range, a frigid, mountainous region. This extended gameplay segment showcases the destructive power of the updated gear system in Borderlands 4, fueling the wildest loot chase ever, including:
Deadly weapons from across eight new and returning manufacturers, each boasting their own devastating strengths;
Licensed Parts system that combines the behaviours and abilities from multiple manufacturers into a single weapon;
Enhancements gear slot to augment weapons based on their manufacturer, rewarding extra firepower with an optimised gear loadout;
Ordnance, a shared slot for Grenades and Heavy Weapons like rocket launchers, recharges on a cooldown to keep you locked and loaded during especially tough encounters;
Rep Kit gear adds utility by letting players heal themselves or activate temporary buffs to help turn the tide of an intense battle.
Borderlands 4 makes it easier than ever for friends to jump into co-op multiplayer with a new system for players to form parties online and stay together when switching game modes.* The game is designed for co-op from the ground up, with instanced loot for each player, dynamic level scaling, and individual difficulty to keep the party together and having fun through the whole campaign.

His one chance at freedom? Win on “The Last Ticket,” the galaxy’s deadliest game show, hosted by the grotesque Volkov. And if Morgan dies, well… Volkov will just revive him for further amusement.

Weave firearms and cyborg implants together in gut-wrenching combos. Earn permanent upgrades, find the right loadouts to maximize Morgan’s arsenal, and make Volkov regret his sadistic schemes.

The sheer joy of sending an explosive-laden train into your opponent’s base and setting of a cascade of chain reactions is just too good for words.
