Cool kids Pigeons at Play and community perennial losers Devolver Digital have combined their mismatched robot parts to construct Mycopunk, a first-person co-op shooter blasting its way into Steam Early Access in 2025. Grab some friends and jump into the freshly squeezed demo, available now on Steam!
The Galaxy’s Most Violent Cleaners Just Clocked In
Your ragtag gang of robot rejects have been hired by the universal megacorp SAXON for one last shot at profitable glory (and avoiding the scrap heap). You are the New Atlas Hazard Crew, a ramshackle squad of exterminators sent to uncover the mysteries behind a planet-wide fungal catastrophe.
Corporate Sent the Cheapest Option: You.
Embark on a series of dangerous planet-side missions to drive back the mycological menace. Could this be a simple natural disaster like they claim? And did SAXON really misfile your taxes? Or was that your own fault?
Who cares? You’re underpaid, over-armed, and ready to clean house.
FUNGICIDAL TENDENCIES Choose from an outrageous arsenal of advanced futuristic weaponry (and some power tools), then supercharge them in a one-of-a-kind grid-based upgrade system to create the ridiculous sci-fi super-weapon of your dreams.
BREAK THE MOLD Slaughter hordes of enemies as they corrupt and weaponize the planet’s technology against you. Pick crawlies apart piece by piece — but be wary, whatever they drop could be grabbed up by another enemy.
VISIBLE RESULTS IN 1-2 MISSIONS Alone, these rickety robots aren’t up to much, but together they become more than the sum of their parts. Combine upgraded abilities and customised weapons to create synergistic builds and achieve strategic co-op mayhem. Or just shoot each other.
ROACH MOTEL Let off steam between missions in an orbital dropship packed with toys and games. Hang out with your friends, uncover more about the galaxy, and shoot the breeze with the insectoid SAXON veteran Roachard Cox.

NPC Cargo Ships now feature updated AI, modern weapon systems, and faction-based color schemes, adding both visual variety and tactical depth. These ships belong to various factions — such as traders, pirates, and military groups each with distinct behaviors, creating more dynamic and varied encounters. Additionally, Strong Unknown Signals have been revamped to provide high-end loot, offering players valuable targets that can lead to either cooperative or competitive gameplay.
Along with these updated encounters, Fieldwork introduces new blocks. The Prototech Fusion Reactor provides a massive energy output, making it ideal for large grids in need of power. The Small Oxygen Tank is a compact solution for exploring low-oxygen environments, while the Large Grid Small Connector allows small grids to dock with larger ones, enhancing building possibilities. To further support teamwork, the new Refill Station allows players to quickly refill their oxygen, hydrogen, and energy, perfect for cooperative play in PvPvE scenarios..
The Fieldwork update also introduces a range of quality-of-life improvements. Keybinding options have been expanded, providing more flexibility for custom controls, while reworked action slots in automation blocks make their functionality clearer and more intuitive. The Projector block has been enhanced with directional indicators, simplifying blueprint placement and block control.
Alongside the free update, the Fieldwork Pack is available for purchase. This DLC introduces a set of new decorative blocks designed for creating secret bunkers, scientist labs, mobile research outposts, and more, making it ideal for players looking to enhance their builds and explore the theme of scientific experiments. All these and more changes can be found in the official changelog.
Starting today and running through May 30th, players can take advantage of increased drop rates for all skins on Steam from Unknown Signals. Strong Unknown Signals, which have a chance to drop the rarest skins, are especially rewarding during this period.

HellHades collab, Freya debut, and Real-Time Arena headline explosive livestream
Shanghai, China — 28 April, 2025 | Thousands of fans tuned in over the weekend for Etheria: Restart’s global pre-launch livestream, where XD Games officially announced that the highly anticipated next-gen RPG will launch on June 5, 2025 across iOS, Android, PC, and Steam. Alongside this announcement, the team revealed a final closed beta starting May 8, giving select players early access to the latest systems and characters ahead of release.
Set in a dazzling digital metropolis, Etheria: Restart immerses players in a future where elite warriors known as Hyperlinkers command sentient beings called Animus in sleek, tactical combat. During the livestream, XD pulled back the curtain on several major features debuting at launch. Chief among them was the introduction of Freya, a brand-new SSR Animus. Poised and powerful, Freya brings chilling frost magic and a layered backstory to the battlefield, quickly becoming one of the most anticipated characters in the roster. With her elegant, glacial-themed design and devastating area control abilities, she’s expected to play a pivotal role in both PvE and competitive team compositions. Freya’s narrative, shaped by isolation and resilience, mirrors the icy precision of her combat style — offering players a hero who’s as emotionally complex as she is strategically versatile.
Gameplay enhancements also took center stage, including the unveiling of new systems like the Smart Shells, which offer tactical AI support in battle, and Origin Gear, a modular progression tool allowing deeper customization of Animus builds. Revamped Instance Dungeons streamline endgame PvE while retaining the game’s signature cinematic feel, with new boss mechanics and layered environments adding challenge and visual flair.
Multiplayer and competitive updates rounded out the preview. The Phantom Theatre, a cooperative PvE mode, lets players team up to overcome bosses in dramatic staged encounters. PvP fans can look forward to the launch of Real-Time Arena (RTA) — a head-to-head combat mode where players engage in live, synchronous battles that demand tactical thinking, team synergy, and real-time decision-making. RTA introduces a ranked ladder system with seasonal resets, exclusive rewards, and matchmaking designed to challenge top-tier players while remaining accessible to casual competitors. Looking further ahead, XD Games also announced the Etheria World Summit (EWS) — a high-stakes global tournament circuit set to feature the best players from each season. With structured qualifiers, championship brackets, and broadcast support, EWS marks Etheria’s official entry into the competitive RPG esports scene.
“This is not just another turn-based RPG,” said Jack Zhou, Game Director at XD. “We’re building a platform where narrative, tactics, and player mastery collide — and we can’t wait for the world to dive in this June.”
In a major move for the global strategy community, Etheria: Restart also confirmed an official collaboration with renowned RPG content creator HellHades. Known for his deep-dive tier lists, team-building strategies, and gameplay analysis, HellHades will serve as a strategic content partner for the international release. He will be co-producing guides, launch-day breakdowns, and ongoing meta analysis to support players throughout the game’s competitive lifecycle.
The journey through Etheria begins on June 5, 2025, with pre-registration now open across all platforms. Richly animated battles, real-time tactical depth, and a constantly evolving world awaits as Etheria: Restart invites players to step into the future — and take control of their legacy. Those who can’t wait until June can look forward to a final closed beta from May 8, offering select players hands-on access to the newly revealed features ahead of launch.
