Think You Can Outsmart Minerva? CODE EXIT Playtest Registration Is Now Open

0

No matter where you run, she will always learn.

September 21, 2026 – Minerva is watching, learning, and waiting. Developer Phase 8 Studio and publisher LINE Games have opened registration for the next playtest of CODE EXIT, ahead of its September 28 through October 19 run. The 1–4 player sci-fi co-op survival horror game sends players into the fallen city of Pantheon under the control of the rogue AI Minerva. A new trailer offers a look at what awaits players when they return to Pantheon, including newly added content coming to the playtest.

Following the game’s July demo and hands-on appearances at BIC 2026 and GXG 2026, CODE EXIT is preparing to send players back into Pantheon as Hermes operatives tasked with completing tactical exploration missions, uncovering hidden secrets, and finding a way out before Minerva closes in. Play solo or team up with up to three others to explore isolated facilities, activate terminals, bypass sealed doors, and scavenge whatever tools can help you survive. All the while, AI Minerva remains in control, forcing players to work together as they navigate the locked-down city and find a way out before it’s too late.

Key Features of CODE EXIT:

  • Solo to Four Player Tactical Co op – Choose to face the nightmare alone or team up with up to three friends. The game scales its intensity based on your group size. Success depends on real-time communication and strategic coordination to stay one step ahead of the chaser.
  • Adaptive Chaser Minerva – Experience a chaser that does not follow a script. Minerva observes your habits and remembers your favorite hiding spots. If you continuously repeat the same behavior, the chaser will adapt and change its hunting pattern to catch you.
  • Tactical Planning and Extraction – Strictly divide roles among your team and plan your routes based on the specific conditions and objectives of each site. Fulfilling the team’s objectives and returning safely to base is the only guarantee of survival for the operatives.
  • Persistent Pressure and Dread – Forget simple jump scares. CODE EXIT focuses on a suffocating atmosphere where the chaser is always learning and getting smarter. The tension builds every minute, making each successful escape a true achievement.

Wishlist CODE EXIT on Steam and signup for playtest registration today. Want to stay up to date on everything happening in Pantheon?

Organized by GDQ’s Frame Fatales community, Flame Fatales – and its winter sister event Frost Fatales – highlight the women, femme, and nonbinary gamers of the speedrunning community while raising money for charity. To date, Frame Fatales has raised over $1 million across their events.

The latest MiG fighter jet joins War Thunder battles

0

MiG-35 and F-102A Delta Dagger jets, Mahan-class destroyer, an original Indonesian tank and dozens of other new military vehicles join the battlefield

Gaijin Entertainment announces that Sky Odyssey, the latest major content update for the military online action game War Thunder, is available now. Alongside the content revealed earlier, the update brings an even more diverse selection of military machines, ranging from the advanced member of the MiG-29 family and a distinctive Cold War interceptor to a Franco-German experimental main battle tank and a modern Indonesian light tank.

Finally, Naval Enduring Confrontation, Bullet Hell and fan-favorite Nuclear Escalation temporary events after a series of tests and improvements became new full-fledged permanent modes, marking a major new step for War Thunder gameplay evolution.

The MiG-35 combines the speed and maneuverability associated with the MiG-29 family with significantly more advanced avionics and weaponry. It features an active electronically scanned array radar with a wide field of view, a missile approach warning system and laser warning system, as well as a targeting pod for laser-guided weapons. Its air-to-air arsenal includes up to eight R-77-1 active radar homing missiles, while ground and naval targets can be engaged with weapons including Kh-38ML missiles, Grom-2 glide weapons and the new Kh-35U anti-ship missile.

At the other end of the jet era, F-102A Delta Dagger offers a very different style of aerial combat. The world’s first mass-produced supersonic delta-wing interceptor arrives for both the USA and Israel, with the latter receiving a Greek modification. The Delta Dagger has no guns whatsoever: instead, it can carry up to six AIM-4 Super Falcon air-to-air missiles, including infrared- and semi-active radar-guided variants, together with 24 unguided rockets housed in the missile bay doors. Its unusual armament encourages pilots to exploit the aircraft’s speed, strike quickly and disengage before the enemy can respond.

Tankers can take command of the EMBT, an experimental European Main Battle Tank combining the chassis of the German Leopard 2A7 with the turret of the French Leclerc S2. Available at Rank VIII for both Germany and France, the EMBT combines strong mobility and armor with a long-barreled 120 mm gun, an automatic loader and OFL 120 F1 APFSDS ammunition. Its Leopard-derived powerplant and comparatively low weight make it particularly mobile for a modern main battle tank, allowing it to perform both aggressive pushes and defensive maneuvers.

The Harimau brings a modern Indonesian light tank to the Japanese ground forces tree. Designed for mobility, reconnaissance and support, it features a tracked chassis, modern thermal imaging equipment, a laser warning system and laser rangefinder. Its Cockerill turret houses a 105 mm rifled gun with an automatic loader and access to DM63 APFSDS ammunition. The Harimau’s light protection makes head-on engagements risky, but its mobility, compact profile and rapid reload make it well suited to flanking, capturing objectives and supporting heavier vehicles.

Sky Odyssey is available now in War Thunder. More information about the update and the complete list of changes can be found on the official War Thunder website.

OF PEAKS AND TIDES – REDEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF SURVIVAL CRAFTING

0

UE5 Fantasy Open-World Adventure Combines Chinese Mythology, Dynamic Ecosystems and Emergent Physics-Driven Gameplay

China – September 21, 2026 – Following a year of intensive development since its original reveal, Of Peaks and Tides, developed by CyancookGames, returns with a significantly expanded vision of survival crafting. Built in Unreal Engine 5 and inspired by the mythology and creatures of ancient China, the fantasy open-world sandbox adventure combines survival, exploration, construction and combat with a highly reactive world where players are encouraged to create their own solutions.

Built around the philosophy of Boundless Creativity, Imaginative Combat, Of Peaks and Tides puts the environment itself in the player’s hands. Natural disasters can become weapons, giant creatures can become mobile bases, and almost anything in the world can be used in unexpected ways.

ENTER THE WORLD OF EVERLAND

Of Peaks and Tides takes players into Everland, a vast world inspired by Eastern mythology. Once connected to the gods, the land was shattered after a conflict between Heaven and Earth severed their connection, leaving humanity abandoned and civilisation in ruins.

Players awaken as the Nolands, beginning with nothing and setting out to survive, explore and uncover the secrets of a forgotten world. Gathering resources, building and fighting are just the beginning, as players gradually uncover the remnants of lost civilisations and ultimately confront the gods who abandoned humanity.

Boundless Creativity, Imaginative Combat

Powered by Unreal Engine 5’s highly reactive physics systems, Of Peaks and Tides is designed around emergent gameplay, allowing players to experiment with the environment rather than relying on fixed solutions.

Sandstorms and blizzards can influence combat. Plants can be used to trap giant creatures or manipulate their movements. Tamed beasts can carry mobile bases, while enormous flying creatures can transport players across the world.

In a world where everyday objects and unconventional creations can become weapons, the result is a survival experience where imagination and experimentation can be just as important as traditional tools and equipment.

Eastern Mythology, Reimagined

Move beyond the familiar settings of survival crafting and explore a world inspired by the mythology and creatures of ancient China. From Fuzhu and Little Taotie to Mischievous Monkeys and the Giant Xi, Everland is populated by creatures inspired by Shan Hai Jing, creating a distinctive fantasy ecosystem.

A World Where Anything Can Be a Weapon

The game’s physics-driven systems encourage players to experiment with the objects and resources around them. From berry hammers to beehive hammers, unexpected combinations can become surprisingly effective weapons, even against powerful bosses.

Nature Is Part of the Battle

Sandstorms and blizzards aren’t simply environmental hazards. Players can exploit natural disasters and changing conditions to disrupt enemies, reshape encounters and turn the environment to their advantage.

Build on the Back of a Giant Beast

Bases don’t have to stay in one place. Players can tame enormous creatures and construct mobile bases on their backs, while giant flying beasts provide another way to explore and cross Everland.

A Living Ecosystem

Creatures hunt, hide and respond to their surroundings rather than simply waiting for players to attack. Combined with the game’s dynamic environments, this creates encounters that can unfold differently depending on what is happening around them.

Explore a World of Myth and Lost Civilisations

From Cangmu Source and lush forests to vast deserts and snow-covered peaks, Everland offers a diverse range of biomes to explore, each bringing its own challenges and discoveries as players journey across the world. 

A YEAR OF DEVELOPMENT

Since its reveal last year, the development team has spent a full year refining and expanding Of Peaks and Tides following strong interest from players and media worldwide.

The latest version features more dynamic environments, enhanced visual effects, expanded environmental interactions, and larger-scale boss encounters, representing a substantial evolution from the original reveal.

The two-day offline hands-on event in Shanghai gave more than 500 local players their first chance to experience these developments in person, and to release new gameplay footage and material from the latest version, covering systems including but not limited to crafting, natural disasters, and the road-and-bridge system. Many have since shared their own gameplay footage on local channels.
