Sydney, Australia, April 15th, 2025. Milestone and MotoGP™ have released Beyond the Grid, a deep dive into the upcoming MotoGP™25. Developed for the first time in Unreal Engine 5, the new MotoGP™ video game will featureall the official content of the 2025 season, including great comebacks like the legendary Brno track in Czechia as well as the newest entry in the calendar, the Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary. It will also include innovative features that will allow both newcomers and pros alike to live the MotoGP™ experience to the fullest.
The brand-new Race Off game mode will enrich and diversify the experience more than ever, allowing players to test themselves on different bike types, a first in the franchise’s history. Just like real riders, fans will get to train across three unique disciplines with different physics and handling, available both in the career and as a single event. Each type of bike will sharpen players’ skills and will also unlock special rewards. It will be possible to choose between the:
Motard, fast bikes useful to learn how to master speed and handling,
the Flat Track, an off-road motorcycle that will challenge players to keep the control even in the lowest-grip conditions,
or the Minibikes, small but precise two-wheelers that require a high level of accuracy to be mastered.
MotoGP™25 also marks the introduction of two different riding physics, which will allow everyone to race according to their preferences. The Arcade Experience is perfect for those who want to get right into the action without forgetting authenticity. The bike handling is more straightforward and there is no need to overthink setups and fine-tuning. It will give players a quick and accessible gameplay that still captures the essence of MotoGP™. The Pro Experience instead promises to be the pinnacle of simulation. Players will be able to tweak numerous elements such as bike settings, tyre management, riding aids, electronics, and fuel consumption. This is a more refined experience for those who want to feel the most realistic racing sensations.
They will particularly appreciate another novelty of this new instalment, namely a refined Bike Development System that will put performance improvements in the hands of players like never before. In this regard, communication with the team will be fundamental as players will be able to suggest changes to the team engineers in dedicated debriefs and post-race meetings. Once the bike has been modified based on the player’s input, it will be possible to evaluate the updates in designated test sessions, in a continuous pursuit of perfection. This feature once again takes the franchise to a new level of realism, allowing everyone to live a true MotoGP™ journey.
Elevating the experience even more, MotoGP™25 offers a significant audio enhancement. Bikes will roar louder than ever, thanks to an outstanding on-site, custom-made sound design that will grant the most immersive sound of the franchise.
Off the track, rivalries with other riders will be even clearer thanks to the revamped Social Relationships Management. A new HUD will help players better understand the status of each competitor, and anticipate their moves based on the evolution of their rivalry. Of course, everything will be checked by the FIMMotoGP™ Stewards, the race control system introduced in the last chapter which has now been updated to the latest regulations, while players’ behavior and results will greatly impact the opportunities available in the Riders Market during the off-season.
Regarding multiplayer, in MotoGP™25 players will be able to challenge each other both online and offline with the full Cross-play* available from day one, the new ranked races, the Live GP Championship* and the two players local split-screen mode.
Finally, the new chapter of the MotoGP™ franchise unleashes the creativity of its community through in-game editors, from the helmet to the sticker, the race number, and the butt patch, up to the new podium emotes, with the possibility of sharing creations with the rest of the world*.
MotoGP™25 will be available on April 30th, 2025, on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch™, and PC via Steam and Epic Game Store.

Duchess Scarlet’s irrelevant innocence can’t beat the false murder accusations, and now she faces the Imperial Kingdom’s guillotine. With microseconds to spare, a time-traveling livestreamer from the future named Lily rescues Scarlet from a bloody fate, and the pair sets out together to clear Scarlet’s name.
Fight falsehoods through media manipulation in a pre-Internet era as Lily’s modern-day broadcasting blimp purveys persuasive propaganda from above. Convince enemy generals to move troops to different parts of the battlefield, then flank their weak spots to increase the odds of victory. Sow seeds of doubt to lower their morale and incur defection.
Defeat enemy battalions and free captured prisoners to boost Scarlet’s skills. Convince conflicted opponents to join Scarlet’s cause and increase her ranks. Deepen bonds with allies through conversation to both improve army strength and unlock new Unison skills, and amass an army large enough (and trustworthy enough) to topple the Imperial Kingdom’s reign.
“Whether winning through winsomeness or brute force, The Great Villainess offers many ways to play,” says the development team. “Thanks to the feedback we received from our community, we implemented many community-requested updates, and can’t wait for the community to go hands-on with the final version very soon!”

The Panetteria kingdom offers a new start at life for Alice, her cat Ebon, and her dad, but work hours are demanding.

The update adds target-based ship controls, undo/redo for the paint gun, better visuals for copy/paste, and an improved jetpack boost. Besides, it features a new off-center third-person camera for clearer views in both character and ship modes, along with other fixes and improvements.
Vertical Slice 1.2 introduces major improvements to piloting, building, and movement in Space Engineers 2, making gameplay more responsive, intuitive, and immersive.

Target-based grid control replaces the old torque-based system, letting ships rotate smoothly toward a target point using mouse input. On-screen indicators show orientation and heading, making precision flight easier, regardless of ship size or mass. The paint gun now supports undo and redo, allowing players to quickly revert or reapply recent color changes — a very handy feature for builders and designers.
Partial copy/paste visuals have been improved, making it easier to see which blocks are selected and how they’ll be placed, especially in complex builds and tighter edits. Jetpack 2.0 adds a short boost charge-up, a new charging indicator, and immersive effects like camera shake and updated sounds. Movement now feels more powerful and responsive.
Additionally, Vertical Slice 1.2 includes a variety of fixes and refinements across the game. The full list of changes can be found in the official changelog.

Developers from Frozen Way and GameFormatic are proud to announce a significant visual update for Campus Life. The update features a refreshed character design with a more realistic art style than previously showcased.
April 14th, Krakow, Poland.
This updated look — accompanied by a wave of new content and gameplay improvements — will be available to the public for the first time during Digital Dragons 2025, held May 18–20 in Krakow. Following the event, Campus Life will launch its first public playtests on Steam in late May or early June, allowing a broader audience to experience the vibrant world of college life firsthand.
To build anticipation, the team has released a short teaser that you can watch above, highlighting the new direction of the game. The video offers a glimpse into the more realistic visuals, the atmosphere of campus life, and what players can expect from the upcoming playtests. All announcements and further details will be shared on the official Frozen Way Discord server.
About Campus Life
Campus Life is a newlife simulator game with an isometric perspective, set in a world inspired by American college life in the early 2000s. In this game, players create their own college freshman whose future will depend solely on them. Whether it is becoming a popular idol, a rising star in academics, or an unmatched athlete, the possibilities depend solely on the player’s imagination. Over the course of four years of education, players will have a lot of time to choose the right path for their in-game character, as well as explore a variety of possible activities, stories, and relationships.
Gameplay in Campus Life focuses primarily on managing the character’s time effectively. As a student, the character has various responsibilities such as attending lectures, raising funds for tuition fees, studying for exams, and earning scholarships. However, there are also numerous tempting options available for spending your free time on campus. Hanging out and partying with friends, team sports, earning some pocket money with part-time jobs, or perhaps calming walks and peaceful evenings spent reading books or at an easel? It is up to the player to find a balance between responsibilities and enjoyment.
Character creator and the most important indicators
Players will start the playthrough by creating their own student character. The developers have created an extensive character creator that provides a wide range of personalization options. Players can adjust not only the appearance and style of their character but also their starting abilities and background.
Players get to choose the Goals that will guide their character through four years of education. These are related to various aspects of student life – from achieving outstanding accomplishments in academics, sports, or arts, to making new acquaintances and attending parties, and even leaving a unique mark in the university’s history in other ways. Essentially, Goals can be divided into two categories: those related to the character’s personality and those related to the activities they undertake.
As the player strives to achieve their Goals, their character gains new Traits. These are associated with passive positive effects that can influence various aspects of student life such as exam results, item prices in stores, or the acquisition of resources like Reputation or Energy. The different activities available on campus can also alter the level of permanent Statistics including Mind, Body, and Creativity. On the other hand, the character created by the player is human and has human limitations, so each activity they engage in directly affects their Energy and Joy levels.
The activities the character devotes their time to on-campus influence their relevant Skill levels, which come in handy when participating in campus life – from giving the performance of your life on stage to winning a sports tournament. During the game, the player will have many opportunities to test their character’s Skills in various events such as chess tournaments, baseball matches, or theater performances.
High replay value
The game developers wanted to ensure that Campus Life had a high replay value. As a result, they designed the game to offer a different experience with each playthrough. They achieved this by creating various combinations of Goals, Traits, Statistics, Skills, and Items for the characters, multiple optional side quests, and a complex relationship system with specific students.
Campus Life comes with an exciting set of features:
Complete control over the student path – it’s entirely up to you how to spend four years on campus. Attend classes, participate in Fraternity and Clubs activities, complete main and side tasks, and more. The options are numerous!
Create your own story – see how your decisions and undertaken activities impact the plot and the shape of the entire gameplay.
Advanced character creator – use the numerous possibilities available in the character creator to design a unique student character. Set their appearance, Traits, Statistics, initial Goals, and much more!
A rich system of interpersonal relationships – establish and deepen relationships with unique non-playable characters.
High replay value – the game offers a different experience with each playthrough.
Experience the vibrant campus life – engage in activities related to student life. Discover the holy grail of work-life balance, dividing time between learning and pleasure.

Viscerafest’s 1.0 launch brings a whole host of new content and improvements to the game. For starters, the existing first two chapters have been upgraded – with improvements ranging from better texture work to new secrets and scripted sequences, revised dialogue and extra one-liners, and much, much more. And that’s not to mention all-new features, such as a new shop in the game’s hub, allowing players to turn in the collectable Skullies in exchange for cheats and gameplay modifiers that can be used when replaying maps for a different gameplay experience.
Viscerafest is a sci-fi fantasy single-player arena FPS where you take the role of Caroline, a bloodthirsty, psychopathic mercenary who wants nothing more than to marry her wonderful boyfriend, Athens Fetter. The problem is money’s tight, and rings aren’t exactly cheap. But thankfully, there may yet be hope for her, as a warlock named Cromune has acquired a rather hefty bounty on his head.
Bringing his corpse in to the respective authorities won’t be an easy task however, as Cromune has a small army defending him. Forces from the U.S.C. (United Scientific Conglomerate) led by Dr Mortice stand shoulder to shoulder with the religious zealot. But what’s a few hundred soldiers to death incarnate? Nothing but a slaughter… Nay… A Viscerafest!

Juggle your resources as you fight to stay alive, constantly balancing your use of ammo, health, and armor.
Move at the speed of light, chaining Bunny Hopping and Dashing together to move at speeds no man would dream of, and with your overbearing Air Control, dance around projectiles like no other.
