An Animatronic, a Pizzeria, and a Whole Lot of Jump Scares. Dead by Daylight Turns its Most Requested Chapter Ever into Bloody Reality
MONTRÉAL – May 27, 2025 – After multiple games, a blockbuster movie, and a decade spent establishing itself as a true cultural phenomenon, Five Nights at Freddy’s has finally arrived in Dead by Daylight. Fans clamoring for this crossover can expect an adaptation aimed at delivering the same tension, nostalgia, and jump-scares they’ve come to know and love, positioning the Chapter to be one the game’s biggest to date. Available on May 27as part of the Steam public test build, and officially releasing on June 17, Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’s is right behind you.
The Animatronic
While Five Nights at Freddy’s comes with no shortage of malevolent characters to choose from, Dead by Daylight will introduce Springtrap – The Animatronic – as its newest Killer. Not only does Springtrap represent one of the franchises darkest villains, making him a perfect fit for The Fog, but his inclusion marks the first time ever that Springtrap will be playable in a game.
In Dead by Daylight, Springtrap’s gameplay presents a Killer that specializes in surveillance, pursuit, and scaring the pants off Survivors in some unexpected ways. He wields a large pizza knife, perfect for terrorizing his victims, and a fire axe that functions as his Power.
Throwing the axe creates an AOE where it lands capable of revealing Survivors to the Killer. Lodge the axe in a Survivor’s back with a well-timed throw and they’ll be forced to remove it themselves or ask for help from an ally. Remove the axe from a Survivor as Springtrap, however, and trigger a terrifying jump scare that sees The Animatronic scream in your face and ends with the victim being grabbed by the Killer for a stroll to the hook.
Security Cameras & Doors
Since it just wouldn’t be Five Nights at Freddy’s without at least a little time spent in the infamous Security Office (which was never all that secure), the team at Dead by Daylight made sure to adapt this key element for the new Chapter.
Whenever Springtrap is selected as the Killer in any Trial, 7 Security Doors will spawn across the Map. Survivors and Killers can both enter these doors, passing through the Security Office to teleport to any other door around the Map. Should Springtrap and a Survivor cross paths within the Office, expect another chilling jump scare and an instant grab from the Killer.
Interacting with the doors as a Survivor also lets you access and switch between cameras located above each of the other doors around the Map. This feature can be used to scout ahead for Springtrap, reveal him to other Survivors, and pick which door they’ll exit through should they decide to enter the Security office. True to form, Survivors will need to manage a shared battery for all camera and door interactions. Not to be outdone, Springtrap has the ability to short out cameras as well as doors for a period of time by striking their door with his axe.
Welcome to Freddy Fazbear’s
Another highlight of Dead by Daylight’s latest Chapter comes in the form of the new Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Map, recreated for The Entity’s Realm in all it’s nostalgic glory.
In addition to an all-new outdoor area that offers more opportunities for pulse-pounding chases, players will also be able to explore the pizzeria’s familiar interior. The Front Entrance, Kitchen, Janitor Room, and Dining Hall – with full animatronic band on stage – as well as the Arcade are eerily decorated for a birthday party, while also exhibiting The Entity’s sinister presence everywhere.
And as is the theme of this Chapter, jump scares and easter eggs abound. All manner of surprises await in the corners of the Map, and players intent on exploring will need to be ready to have their hearts to skip a beat should they stumble across any of these hidden moments.
The Many Faces of Springtrap
The launch of the Chapter on June 17 will also be accompanied by its very own Collection featuring a slew of looks for Springtrap drawn from the franchise’s storied history.
Already announced, the Yellow Rabbit Legendary Outfit for Springtrap inspired by the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, will feature actor Matthew Lillard’s likeness along with original voice lines recorded just for the game. Springtrap’s other main look will be the Glitchtrap Legendary Outfit which first appeared in Five Nights at Freddy’s Help Wanted.
Players can also enjoy 2 Very Rare Outfits for Springtrap including Clown Springtrap and Toxic Springtrap, while all original Survivors will be able to get their hands on a Freddy Fazbear’s t-shirt as part of the Collection.
Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’sis currently available as part of the Steam public test build. It releases officially on June 17.

Sequel to acclaimed VR espionage experience adds more depth, immersion and innovation
Bude, United Kingdom – May 27th, 2025 – Triangular Pixels are thrilled to announce that Unseen Diplomacy 2: Spy Harder, the follow up to their acclaimed espionage VR experience, is coming to Meta Quest VR and Steam VR in 2025. Building on the innovative foundation of the original, Unseen Diplomacy 2 will feature a full campaign, expanded gameplay mechanics, deeper strategy, and immersive comic book styling.
In Unseen Diplomacy 2, players take on the role of a spymaster, leading their own elite agency while also getting their hands dirty out in the field in a 1990s inspired retro-futuristic setting with analog technology. Sneak around enemy bases to steal valuable intel and resources, sabotage their plans, and then successfully escape without being noticed. To fully immerse themselves into this role, players will physically crawl, roll under lasers, and dodge side to side while utilizing new gadgets, like the wire clippers, and wearing disguises to dupe the enemy. Those who prefer a less quiet approach can also utilize blow darts. To ensure every mission and campaign feels fresh, Triangular Pixels uses a new system that not only procedurally generates levels, but also tailors the experience based on the space you have and the actions you take.
Beyond the thrilling action, the spymaster’s job is to also manage the agency, adding a strategic layer to the game. Players recruit agents, manage resources, and deploy operatives on high-stakes missions to thwart rogue corporations, mad scientists and secret organizations threatening global stability. Every mission will bring you closer to uncovering the truth, and depending on the choices the players make, the road to success varies from playthrough to playthrough.
“We’ve listened to our community and taken everything they loved about Unseen Diplomacy, amped it up and refined it”, said Katie Goode at Triangular Pixels. “Unseen Diplomacy 2 is bigger, smarter, and more immersive, designed to push the limits of VR espionage action. It’s not just a sequel – it’s a full evolution of the experience and we can’t wait for players to get their hands on it!”
Key features:
High-stakes operations: utilize stealth, strategy, and quick thinking to steal assets, gather evidence, sabotage obstacles that will slice, dice, zap, crush, burn or call the guards, and escape unseen
Dynamic and replayable missions: every playthrough is unique, with missions providing fresh challenges. You can play through the Campaign or hop into Quick Play to share your results with friends and do your daily exercise
New gameplay mechanics: in addition to the locomotion-based stealth, the game features clipping and rerouting wires, hacking computer terminals, enemy robots, disguises, photography, and shooting
Strategic spymaster gameplay: manage your agency, recruit agents, and deploy them on missions to gather intel and outmaneuver enemy counterspies
The Director Graph System: developed by Triangular Pixels, this system allows for generating dynamic, procedural levels that adapt to the play area, hardware, difficulty settings and gameplay preferences, as well as making the process of creating content much easier and allowing level designers to hand craft the flow of levels
Mixed reality integration: Meta Quest 3 players will be able to experience the spy world in their living space, blending the virtual with the real world.
Accessibility: The game comes with new support for those with tremors, one handed play, difficulty control and also supports those needing standing and seated play.

PARIS – May 27, 2025 – Freshly created indie-publisher Radical Theory has recently partnered with ML MEDIA and Shine Group for the release of Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game.

Let’s jump into its action-packed Official Gameplay Trailer showcasing pretty much everything you should expect from this game. Disclaimer: this video includes pigeons.
Easy To Pick Up, Instant Fun, Yet Hard To Master Like A Pro
Parkour & Freerunning are not quite the same. While one focusses more on getting from A to B in the fastest way possible, the other is all about style, flow, and tricking-madness. Rooftops and Alleys merges both to create an exciting and engaging gameplay experience for players in solo and multiplayer! The game is easy to pick up, but hard to master. Whether you throw yourself into time trials or trick challenges, you will quickly improve your skill level to perform the craziest lines in the six different maps available at launch. Each map has its unique style, environment, and set of challenges, making sure to offer a fun and engaging playground for the action every time.
With the game’s intuitive controls, you have loads of tricks & moves at your disposal, not to mention all the endless combo possibilities ahead of you. By performing trick combos, you can raise your adrenaline meter, which unlocks speed boost for you at will, or stall your combo meter going down, helping you get to those super high scores!
Progression, Customization & Pigeon
By completing challenges you earn feathers, which unlock over 100 different customization items for you and your pigeon with the built-in progression system. Yes, you can totally be a pigeon in the game – think of it as your freecam, session marker, pin dropper, and most importantly… your little friend! In each map, you can unlock your pigeon by exploring around and finding it. Once you do so, you can switch to the pigeon at any time, fly around, find new challenges, and totally go where you’re not supposed to…
Be Lazy, Chill, Make Photos or Compete In Multiplayer
Parkour is also fun with friends. Play online, hangout in freeroam multiplayer, or engage in intense games of TAG, Capture The Flag, or Tricks Battle. And when you’re tired, just checkout the super cool photo mode, which has the craziest freedom of all, with its highlight feature: The Doll-Mode, and much, much more!

Pinball meets tower defense in Ragnarok Studios’ genre-defining debut, coming to PC in 2025
Oslo, Norway – 27th May, 2025 – Indie developer Ragnarok Studios and boutique publisher Mad Data Games are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of the teaser demo for Bumper Blitz TD, a genre-defying mashup of classic tower defense and gravity-based pinball mechanics. The demo will be available for free on Steam on May 26th, just in time for Steam Next Fest this June.
Bumper Blitz TD reimagines the tower defense formula, blending fast-paced strategy, physics-driven gameplay, and explosive pinball-style action. Players must place towers, harness gravity, and unleash bumpers to repel waves of alien invaders across a series of chaotic, ever-changing battlefields.
“It all started during a game jam with a crazy idea: what if tower defense had bumpers?” said Fredrik Kaupang, CEO and Lead Developer at Ragnarok Studios. “That spark turned into something wild and fun, and the feedback so far has been amazing.”
In the demo, players will get a first taste of:
Innovative pinball-meets-strategy mechanics
Varied enemy waves and dynamic level design
Challenging gameplay modes, including Elite Mode
A sneak peek at the unique upgrade system and tower combos coming in the full game
Bumper Blitz TD is slated for full release on PC (Steam) in Q3 2025. In the meantime, the team is actively engaging with players through its Discord server and welcomes feedback, questions, and streaming collaborations.
