Cozy Cardboard Box Clicker Game ‘Unboxathon’ Coming to PC in 2025

Open mystery boxes for fun, profit, and to find your missing childhood plush in upcoming incremental title

Helsinki, Finland (April 16, 2025) – Solo developer EVIL CORP GAMES (also known as Skye) is overjoyed to officially announce wholesome incremental game Unboxathon, coming to Windows PC via Steam in 2025. Open mystery boxes and click your way to profit in ultra-satisfying gameplay.

Watch the Unboxathon announcement trailer:

You know your childhood plush is out there…but can you find it in this vast sea of cardboard boxes? Click to pop bubbles that “bloop” and drop mystery boxes as loot, open them up and rustle through packaging all in the aim of being reunited with the teddy that you hold dear.

Unboxathon is cute, cozy, and packed with more content than even the boxes themselves! With each unboxing, you’ll uncover shiny new pieces of loot that grow ever in value, ranging from pairs of comfy camo socks to a major music award and various magical artifacts. 

Each box opening brings you closer to riches – and your plushie, of course – as the items you unearth can be sold for money. Spend, spend, spend on incremental upgrades including higher value boxes, gameplay-changing bubbles, and a whole host of other stat-boosting upgrades such as the number of bubbles spawning per second, chain reactions, ricochets and more.

Key Features of Unboxathon

  • Pop ‘Til You Drop: Pop all manner of bubbles, big, small, and with different gameplay effects and bonuses to earn additional mystery boxes.
  • Literal Boxes Full of Loot: Open up boxes of different rarities, including “Magical Relics” or “Luxury Goods”  to get increasingly valuable loot and shiny, collectible items.
  • Upgrade, Upgrade, Upgrade: Sell those items for profit and use those earnings to unlock incremental upgrades affecting your bubble bonuses, special bubbles, box quality, and more.

Unboxathon will be released in 2025 on Windows PC via Steam.

Black One Blood Brothers takes tactical combat to the next level!

  • Helios Studio—led by a solo developer—is gearing up to release a major new Early Access update on Steam for Black One Blood Brothers today, delivering a host of gameplay enhancements, new squad features, deeper customization options for players commanding their global special operations team and the addition of German language support for the first time.

Nantes, France, April 16th, 2025: Helios Studio announces the release of a major new update alongside a brand new gameplay trailer for the game Black One Blood Brothers, currently available in Early Access on Steam.

Building on its vision of an elite, multinational special operations unit, the update expands the arsenal of gear, uniforms, and weapons—introducing new equipment inspired by Eastern military design to complement the existing Western-style loadouts. Whether you prefer a traditional setup or a hybrid of tactics and styles from around the world, the new options let you customize your squad to fit your strategy.

This update introduces Synchronized Shots, a powerful new tool for coordinated takedowns—mark your targets, sync your squad, and strike with precision. Combat feels smoother and more immersive than ever, thanks to a complete overhaul of the Aim Down Sights system and rebuilt recoil mechanics, featuring dynamic patterns and realistic shooting animations. Tactical movement also becomes more effective with adaptive leaning in first-person view: when your Operator approaches cover, they now automatically lean to slice the corner and neutralize the threat, while remaining protected by the environment.

Adding a new language – With this update, Black One Blood Brothers adds full German localization alongside English and French, bringing the game to a wider audience of tactical fans. Additional languages are planned for the full 1.0 release, further supporting the game’s global community.

This update represents a major leap forward in the ongoing development of Black One Blood Brothers, reinforcing Helios’ commitment to grounded, player-driven tactical gameplay. As always, community feedback remains critical—join the conversation on Discord and Steam to help shape what comes next.

The update is available now, with full patch notes available on Steam.

Black One Blood Brothers is a tactical military shooter game where strategy and coordination are key. Joining the “Black One” unit, you become part of an elite force composed of top operators from around the World. This time, the threat is global, driving Black One into high-risk missions across the globe in the hope of resolving an unprecedented conflict. Operating independently of any government, this unit works from the shadows, free from political games and diplomatic constraints. As the leader of this squad, you’re tasked with executing complex missions where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. Customize your crew, plan and adjust your tactics dynamically, and enjoy high replayability.

  • Campaign Mode: Operation “Serpent’s Whisper” – During the adventure offered in the campaign mode through Operation “Serpent’s Whisper”, the story kicks off in response to the insurgent group “New World,” which has launched devastating attacks across the globe within days. Your mission is to neutralize this threat and trace the funding behind these attacks through 20 increasingly challenging missions. Be advised, the loss of an operator is permanent!
  • Gameplay & Realism – Developed in collaboration with a former French Special Forces Commando Marine, “Black One Blood Brothers” stands out for its demanding and immersive gameplay. Command a squad of 10 operators, each with unique skills, and seamlessly switch between them to leverage their specialties in either first-person or third-person view. Success hinges on meticulous planning, optimal equipment management, and teamwork.
  • Plan Plans & Quick Orders – Implement precise action sequences for each squad member using a complex yet intuitive “Battle Plan” system. Organize your forces into multiple teams, coordinate their movements, and devise custom tactics to tackle any situation, or switch to real-time command with “Quick Orders” for dynamic decision-making.
  • High-Risk Missions – Undertake high-risk missions including target neutralization, hostage rescue, bomb defusal, and retrieval of secret documents.
  • Customize your Squad – Customization is at the heart of “Black One Blood Brothers.” Build your squad from the ground up, selecting each member’s skills and arming them with the finest arsenal.
  • Game Modes & Replayability – With a variety of game modes (Dynamic campaign, Spec Ops, War, POW, Siege, Lone Wolf, Blind Ops) and a powerful, user-friendly map editor, “Black One Blood Brothers” offers vast replayability. Customize your missions, adjust difficulty, select your battlefields, and share your creations with the community through the Steam Workshop.

Victor, solo developer and founder of Helios Studio, commented:Creating Black One Blood Brothers has been a true passion project that took me several years to build. My goal was to bring back the joy of a single-player tactical FPS, where everyone can play at their own pace and develop their own combat strategies. But I also wanted to go further with the innovative Battle Plan feature, adding an extra layer of strategy on top of the first-person view and quick commands. Seeing the game’s community grow has been a real pleasure, and I’m thrilled to release this new update, which directly addresses players’ feedback.”

Specializing in Unreal Engine development for the past 8 years, Victor is passionate about creating immersive worlds.

THE FIRST SEASON OF SKULL AND BONES YEAR 2, ASCENT INTO CHAOS, IS AVAILABLE NOW

Starting today, players can join the fray as the Compagnie Royale and the Dutch Merchant Company are on the verge of total warfare.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – April 16, 2025 – Today, Ubisoft announced that ‘Ascent into Chaos,’ the first season of Skull and Bones’ second year of content, is now available. In this new season, players are thrust into a high-stakes arms race as two powerful megacorporations in the Indian Ocean teeter on the brink of open war. From April 17 – 20, Skull and Bones will run a Free Weekend, providing access to the entire game: progress through the main storyline, explore Year 2 Season 1 content, and take on new challenges with friends. 

“Ascent Into Chaos“ is now available, bringing multiple new features and improvements to the Indian Ocean:  

  • The new Item Ascension feature allows players to upgrade their gear in powerful new ways—boosting base damage and adding unique modifications that impact gameplay. By spending materials and silver at local vendors, players can further enhance Ascended Items, fine-tuning each weapon and loadout to suit their preferred playstyle and specific combat scenarios at sea. 
  • World Tiers are optional levels of difficulty for different challenges in the world, starting with World Tier 2 in Season 1. Higher tiered worlds drop better rewards, including more powerful Ascended weapons. 
  • The Helm endgame experience is also getting a revamp. Players will now be able to produce crafting materials at their own manufactories, providing the essential items needed to grow in strength. The new Helm Upgrade Tree will provide players with the flexibility to shape their Empire as they see fit, with new perks and upgrades. This will also be the last season that manufactory levels and Pieces of Eight will be reset. 
  • Death Tides, a brand-new PvP team-based mode, will arrive mid-season. Here, players can use their own customized loadout, or choose from one of preset ships, each with their own strengths, including the Pyroclast, the Stormwall, and the Paladin. Unique abilities will also be available, like firing off devastating La Peste Mortars or summoning the fearsome Kuharibu, to help achieve victory. Death Tides matches take place in one of four unique maps, Brimstone, Sanctuary, Sunken Ruins, and Mukiti Falls, and all rewards and XP earned will carry over to the main game and Smuggler Pass. 
  • Quality of Life improvements such as: 
  • Hide equipped armor on ships 
  • Fund all manufactories with the push of a button 
  • Revamped map and markers  
  • New minimap 
  • Improved weakpoint visibility 
  • New first time user experience 

The rest of Year 2 will see this Faction War progress with new narrative elements, features and improvements: 

  • Season 2: Oaths of War will introduce the Frigate, Skull and Bones’ first ever playable large ship. It will offer additional weapon ports, allowing players to deal more devastating firepower. Following the events of Season 1, the DMC will have successfully taken over a Compagnie Royale Megafort, escalating the ongoing war in the Indian Ocean. Players will have to pick a side, with each side offering unique benefits at the cost of making a powerful new enemy. Collective player actions and alliances will determine which faction emerges victorious at the end of the season. 
  • Season 3: Guts and Glory introduces a new threat as the war rages on. The Rogue Warlord takes advantage of the ongoing conflict, trafficking weapons and holding skilled Officers prisoner. Players will be able to assign any Officer they rescue to their ship, each bringing unique buffs like repair perks, increased damage, and faster sailing. This season will also introduce another long-awaited feature to Skull and Bones: land combat. More about this will be revealed as the new season approaches.  
  • Season 4: Eye of the Beast will close out with a legendary beast rising from the depths. Frustrated by the effects of the war, the Sea People will abandon neutrality and summon aferocious Kraken to purge the waters. To help combat the Kraken, players can unlock the Corvette, a new playable large ship. Eye of the Beast will also introduce the Hunter’s Guild, which will grant players the ability to become a master hunter of sea creatures.  

From April 18 (1AM AEST) to April 20 (10PM AEST) 2025, Skull and Bones will run a Free Weekend, providing access to the entire game: progress through the main storyline, explore Year 2 Season 1 content, and take on new challenges with friends. 

Developed by Ubisoft Singapore in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios*, Skull and Bones is a naval online action RPG where you play by your own rules to become the most infamous pirate kingpin and build your smuggling empire in a perilous world.  Skull and Bones is available with cross-play and cross-progression on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X | S, Amazon Luna, GeForce Now as well as Windows PC through Ubisoft Connect, Steam and Epic Games Store.

HARDCORE MODE: NO PAIN – NO GAIN, IN KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE II

HARDCORE MODE: NO PAIN – NO GAIN Gallant Huntsman Kit DLC Available

16 APRIL, 2025:  By popular demand, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II now has the option for Hardcore Mode. 

Not only will the game no longer permanently show your position on the map – with no compass or fast travel to make life easier – but players need to select at least three permanent negative traits at the start of the game, such as Bad Back, meaning you can carry less weight; Somnambulant, which means sleepwalking and waking up in random places; or Hangry Henry who is even more obsessed by food than usual.  

It’s an evolution of a mode that existed in the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance designed to create a new level of immersion in the game. 

Karel Kolmann, senior game designer at Warhorse Studios, explained that they wanted the Hardcore Mode to be as good as it was in the first game, but not a carbon copy. 

“We only kept a couple of the first game’s perks, and then we made new ones to provide a completely new challenge. It’s not just about making the game harder either, it’s about making it more immersive too. 

“In the first game’s Hardcore Mode, we did things like disabling your map position and removing the compass, but we’ve gone further this time. We’ve added the option to ask different NPCs about your location in the world, which is something more immersive. You can run into travellers on the road and ask for directions,” he added. 

You can read more from Karel – and see the full list of Hardcore Mode perks at https://kingdomcomerpg.com. And for those who missed out getting their hands on the Gallant Huntsman Kit (which comes as part of the Gold Edition) when they purchased the standard edition, that FOMO can be fixed as the set is for sale as DLC. 

Tracking down those who murdered your parents – or stalking game in the forest – you can now look the absolute part with the Gallant Huntsman’s Kit. Whether you’re sporting St. Hubert’s hunting cap, firing bolts at your quarry with Artemis’ crossbow or looking dapper in Nimrod’s famous hunting coat, this full costume hunting garb is a ‘must have’ for the aspiring ranger. 

What does the Gallant Huntsman’s Kit include? 

  • “St. Hubert hat” Hunting Cap based on a legend about St. Hubert 
  • “Master huntsman´s hood” adorned with pearls to protect from the elements 
  • “Nimrod coat” Hunting Coat based on the famous hunter Nimrod 
  • “Master huntsman’s hose”  
  • “Master huntsman’s gloves” Hunting Gloves from leather for manipulating weapons and downing game 
  • “Master huntsman’s boots” Hunting Boots – well-made leather for stable movement through dense forest 
  • “Artemis’ crossbow” for hunting with our new type of ranged weapon 
  • “Hunting bolt” 30 bolts to use with the crossbow 

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S – available in Standard, Gold and Collector’s Editions.

Shop Titans Introduces Tier 15, Ancient Jungle Quest, and Much More in Newest Game Update

Tier 15 is here! Shop Titans, the free-to-play Tycoon Simulation/Light Adventure RPG game from Kabam, has released its newest Game Update 19.0 for Shopkeepers!

April’s content update brings expanded end-game content to Shop Titans, featuring 40 new blueprints to craft, some Tyrannosaurus action and exploration in the all-new Ancient Jungle quest, the brand-new ability to Timewarp older components, an added special node for Advanced Research, the Workers level cap increase to 50, and more. 

Check out the latest “Titan Talk” video breakdown of the Tier 15 update below.

Shop Titans’ Game Update 19.0 content and events will be live all during April as follows:

  • Tier 15 Blueprints Arrive
  • Introducing 40 new blueprints along with a variety of Chests, Keys, and 6 new “elemental” versions of base Tier 15 blueprints!
  • Get ready to take a pretty big step back in time too – several millions years, in fact! Routine trips will be required to the all-new Ancient Jungle quest in order to craft wonderful new items such as the Behemoth armor set, the Blossomblade, or the mythical Dino Nuggies….
  • Ancient Jungle (New Quest)
  • Behold, the untamed Ancient Jungle and realm of dinosaurs! Quest through the Ancient Jungle in search of the Giant Boneyard, where Heroes will face off with none other than the ancient king of beasts: THE TYRANNOSAURUS REX. Of course, the cool and cute Tiny Rexes won’t be making that journey easy either.
  • The Ancient Jungle quest can be unlocked starting at level 66, costing 15 Billion gold. Just plain old components won’t be enough for this tier, however – Shopkeepers will need to take advantage of their new option for Timewarped Components…
  • Trip Through Time Login Calendar (April 17-May 5)
  • While veteran players are busy time traveling and crafting chunky Tier 15 items, we’ve also prepared a special Login Calendar for newer players to enjoy. It contains a plethora of Prehistoric rewards to claim over 15 days!
  • Though it is aimed towards newer players, there’s no limit as to who can participate.
  • Timewarped Components
  • Unique to the Ancient Jungle quest, a new option to Timewarp components will be available. Use the Timewarp to transform older components from previous dungeons into ancient versions, enabling new crafts inspired by the distant past!
  • Whenever starting a quest, you’ll have the option to bring in a stack of compatible components. If your quest succeeds, components will be upgraded into a new form that is needed to craft many Tier 15 items. If the quest fails, you’ll lose them, so be careful.
  • Advanced Research Additions
  • A special node has been added to Advanced Research. For each item type, if you’ve unlocked a Tier 15 blueprint and unlocked at least one node for it, a new research node will be made available. Unlocking it will apply all unlocked Advanced Research of that item type to also apply to Tier 15.
  • For example, a player who has unlocked all Advanced Research for Swords can have the Craft Speed, Surcharge Energy Reduction, and XP Bonus also apply to Tier 15 swords with this upgrade.
  • New Worker Levels
  • The level cap for workers has increased to 50, provided you have the building level for it. Levels past 45 will have a different effect; the craft time reduction is more pronounced but only applies to items of Tier 15 or higher.
  • PLUS… New Building Levels have been added for the Emerald Inn, the Tavern, and buildings of city workers; as well as a range of balance changes, new updates to the webstore, and more.

Shop Titans (rated T for Teen by the ESRB) is a free-to-play Tycoon Simulation, Light Adventure RPG game on mobile and PC platforms. Set in a fantasy world filled with hilarious character-driven banter between their Champions and city Workers, players can become a fantasy shop tycoon by crafting epic weapons, managing a store to success, and building a team of adventurers to quest for loot. Find out why players are raving about the game and giving it 5 stars! Shop Titans is available now to download free on the App Store, Google Play, Steam, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store.

Players are invited to visit Shop Titans during April to enjoy new Tier 15 blueprints, the Ancient Jungle quest, Timewarped Components, and additional new content!

About Gris

As the story unfolds, GRIS will grow emotionally and see her world in a different way, revealing new paths to explore using her new abilities. 

A serene and evocative narrative experience.

GRIS is a serene and evocative experience, free of danger, frustration or death. Players will explore a meticulously designed world brought to life with delicate art, detailed animation, and an elegant original score. Through the game light puzzles, platforming sequences, and optional skill-based challenges will reveal themselves as more of GRIS’s world becomes accessible.

GRIS is an experience with almost no text, only simple control reminders illustrated through universal icons. The game can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their spoken language.

About Neva 

The BAFTA Games Award-winning Neva is an emotionally charged action-adventure from the visionary team behind the critically acclaimed GRIS.

Neva chronicles the story of Alba, a young woman bound to a curious wolf cub following a traumatic encounter with dark forces. Together, they embark on a perilous journey through a once-beautiful world as it slowly decays around them. 

Their relationship evolves as they learn to work together, helping one another to brave increasingly dangerous situations. The wolf grows from a rebellious cub to an imposing adult while seeking to forge her own identity, testing Alba’s love and their commitment to one another. 

As the cursed world threatens to overwhelm them, Alba and her courageous companion will do whatever it takes to survive and make a new home, together.
