CD PROJEKT RED and Go On Board today announced the next board game set in The Witcher universe, The Witcher: Legacy.

Spotlight:

• The Witcher: Legacy is a story-driven adventure that can be played either solo or cooperatively with up to four players.
• The game features a rich, branching narrative with consequences that carry over from session to session.
• Anyone who follows — and later participates — in the project on Gamefound will receive an exclusive Gorgon monster miniature.

Marking the third Witcher-world board game collaboration between CD PROJEKT RED and Go On Board, The Witcher: Legacy is a story-driven adventure for 1–4 players. In solo or cooperative modes, they take on the role of Wolf School witchers and hunt down those responsible for a brutal attack that left the school devastated — but not fully destroyed.

Taking place across multiple scenarios, this main adventure features a sprawling and branching narrative. Players will be faced with difficult decisions that will shape their story and weave a unique, immersive tale that carries consequences from one session to the next.

The game takes place in the kingdom of Kaedwen, where players will explore vast lands, battle monsters, train their skills, and manage limited resources — all the while seeking to unravel a conspiracy that threatens the very existence of witchers.

The Gamefound page for The Witcher: Legacy is now live. Whoever follows the project now — and later participates in the crowdfunding campaign — will receive an exclusive Gorgon monster miniature, a creature that has never before appeared in any Witcher video game.

Previous games co-created by CD PROJEKT RED and Go On Board have achieved massive success. Released in 2022, The Witcher: Old World ranks among the top 10 biggest board game crowdfunding campaigns of all time. With over 192,000 copies sold, it remains a global bestseller.

London – July 31, 2025 – During today’s Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase presentation, Capcom announced Monster Hunter Stories™ 3: Twisted Reflection.

Watch the Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection reveal trailer below.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection tells the story of two nations on the path to ruin. Amidst the growing crystal encroachment facing the lands of Azuria and Vermeil, the discovery of a mysterious egg gives cause for hope. From the shell hatches a monster long thought to be extinct, a Rathalos. However, this glimmer quickly gives way to despair as a second monster emerges from the egg. The twin Rathalos share the same mark as the twin Skyscale Rathalos, portents of destruction that hearken back to a civil war waged 200 years ago. As the environment deteriorates and monsters face extinction, the flames of war once again begin to stir.

In this tale, players take on the role of the heir to Azuria. Blessed with special abilities leading them to become the leader of the Rangers and sole Rathalos Rider in the kingdom, the protagonist passionately performs their duties, protecting monsters and investigating egg quartz. However, a life-changing event soon drives them to investigate the strange phenomena threatening the world. In their search for the truth, they set out for the forbidden land beyond the northern Meridian.

The hero is joined in their quest by Eleanor, princess of Vermeil. Troubled by the worsening situation, she offers herself as a ‘hostage’ to Azuria in hopes of easing tensions between the two nations. Moved by the efforts of the Rangers, Eleanor and her cherished Monstie Anjanath come along for the ride, seeking to uncover the true intentions of her sister, the Queen of Vermeil. Bound together by the encroaching shadow of calamity, they step into the torrent of fate and venture into forbidden ground.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection launches in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. For the latest updates, visit the official website and follow Monster Hunter on Instagram, X (Twitter), and Facebook.

Dorado, Puerto Rico, 31 July 2025 | Quorum Games is excited to announce that their new demo for the upcoming fantasy life sim, Call of Elyndra is out now on Steam! Experience one of the game’s key features by fishing for a variety of species that call the waters of Elyndra home. There will be a fishing competition monitored through Discord where players can compete for bragging rights, digital rewards, and engage in some friendly fishing banter. The competition will reset each week, so players can compete for the best ‘Catch of the Week”. 

Gone Fishing
The Village of Elyndra has kindly invited you to their coveted local fishing spot. Here you will discover a wide variety of species, yours to catch if you can! Baiting your hook with worms or shad, you might capture a Common Sunfish, Bass, or Trout. If you’re lucky, you may reel in a Rare Koi or Golden Trout. For a greater challenge, try your luck at catching the Mythical Lanternfish. The game’s demo features three rarity levels for each fish, gradually unlocking each rarity as you catch more fish.
Tap to fine-tune the position, and press and hold your mouse to reel fish in. The dynamic ‘fish band’ moves up and down the reeling meter, simulating the struggling fish. Each catch feels unique, with the size and movement speed changing for each variety of fish you attempt to catch.

A Player Experience As Unique As You  

Call of Elyndra is a top-down adventure game that introduces players to Elyndra, a village threatened by an empire seeking to seize their land. The Elyndirans have entrusted you with a humble abode to call home. Now, you must earn their trust by helping the community in the village’s dire time of need.

Whether you are drawn to peaceful farming or action-packed combat, Call of Elyndra offers two distinct play styles for your liking. Manage your dream estate by planting crops, fishing, raising livestock, and selling goods at the town market to earn gold. Tend to the unique needs of your garden by rotating your crops across four full seasons to maximize your yield. Complete narrative-driven farming quests, and continue to share your contributions with the townspeople to increase your affinity points with each villager to unlock stat bonuses to learn lore. Gather resources to earn XP points to spend on farm-focused skill trees. These skills will improve your chances of obtaining higher-quality item drops, such as crops and gems. Additionally, you can enhance livestock breeding, boost your fishing success, and increase the normal growth time of plants.

Unique combat and exploration  

Chain unique combinations of different fighting styles with your sword and bow while perfecting your timing on dodge rolls. Increase your reputation by undertaking brave and dangerous quests. As you explore various dungeons that feature environmental puzzles, you’ll gradually make your way to the center, where boss battles await. This exploration not only offers valuable loot but also progresses the main questline narrative forward, uncovering the story behind the threats you face and the world around you. After completing quests, you will earn XP points to spend on a combat-focused skill tree. Improve your swordsmanship and archery skills to increase your attack damage and learn new abilities.  

Fishing Demo Features:

• Scenic Views: Feast your eyes on the vibrant beauty of Elyndra’s most coveted local fishing spot. 
• Exotic Species: Cast and collect 6 unique fish species, ranging from Common, Rare, and Mythical, using 2 different bait options.

Seoul, South Korea – July 31, 2025 | Today, XLGAMES lifted the curtain on the future of the ArcheAge franchise with a personal letter from Executive Producer Ham Yongjin, offering the first in-depth look at ArcheAge Chronicles, an ambitious new online action RPG set 50 years after the events of the original game.

Rather than a sequel or reboot, ArcheAge Chronicles marks a bold reimagining of the franchise. Set in a revitalized Auroria, players will step into the shoes of pioneers returning to a once-forsaken land now stirring with new life, mysteries, and dangers.

“We didn’t want to just do a sequel or remake what came before,” writes Ham. “We saw an opportunity to tell a completely new story in a familiar world—and to build something that both honors the spirit of ArcheAge and moves it forward in exciting ways.”

A New Genre, A New Experience

Unlike its MMORPG predecessor, ArcheAge Chronicles will be a shared-world online action RPG, offering faster, more focused gameplay while preserving the series’ emphasis on exploration, community, and discovery.

Combat has been rebuilt from the ground up, featuring combo-based mechanics, real-time dodging, weapon swapping, and gear-driven skill chains designed to reward smart, strategic play.

Beyond combat, Chronicles places heavy focus on narrative-rich exploration. There are no glowing quest markers or rails. Instead, players will uncover hidden temples, encounter strange characters, and discover long-lost secrets buried in the ruins of Auroria, all guided by curiosity rather than traditional systems.

Legacy Systems, Reimagined

Beloved ArcheAge features like lifeskills, crafting, and housing return with meaningful upgrades. Housing is now shared across channels, allowing players to create persistent, social spaces. NPC housemates, interactive furniture, and expanded community-building tools aim to deliver a more immersive and personal experience. Crafting remains a key pillar, directly tied to character growth and a player-driven economy.

Looking Ahead

While still early in development, ArcheAge Chronicles has already undergone initial focus group testing, with more opportunities to join upcoming playtests on the horizon.

“We’re building Chronicles for both longtime fans and newcomers,” Ham adds. “It’s a fresh start that carries the heart of ArcheAge into a new era.”

Fans can read the full Producer’s Letter now on Steam and are encouraged to follow ArcheAge Chronicles on X (formerly Twitter), wishlist the game on Steam, and subscribe to the official YouTube channel for future updates.
