MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice unveiled a new trailer that gives a first look at the high stakes PvP combat where players can swap between 3 different characters tag-team style and unleash devastating PLUS ULTRA combo attacks. Set during the climactic Final War arc, the game invites players to experience “ONE LAST SMASH” through a cinematic story mode and action-packed 3v3 battles that showcase the series’ most iconic Heroes and Villains in their final and most powerful forms.
Combat revolves around four core actions: Target Combo, Counter Attack, Guard, and Unblockable Attack, alongside tactical options like Evade and Counter Crash to escape danger. Players can build their Plus Ultra gauge, and fight to reach the Plus Ultra Combo, a devastating finisher where all three fighters combine their quirk abilities for massive damage. Adding even more intensity to battles is Rising!, a special state that enhances attack power, movement speed, and recovery. Rising can be activated once the gauge is filled, giving players the edge they need to seize victory. When the fight comes down to a single character, Rising! activates automatically, turning the tide of battle.
MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice features dynamic 3v3 team battles and an extensive cast of characters from across the anime and manga’s full timeline, including fully powered versions from the Final War arc. Fans will be able to choose from U.A. students, Pro Heroes, and Villains in their most iconic forms, each with new move sets and visuals inspired by their final appearances. Players will take control of fan-favorite characters such as Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, All Might, Tomura Shigaraki, Himiko Toga and more, and they can utilize their unique Quirks to pummel and blast through opponents.
MY HERO ACADEMIA: All’s Justice is coming to PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam®.

Pack up belongings and complete Tabitha’s memoir in a cozy game about the stories we leave behind
Leamington Spa, UK – 21 August 2025: How would you like to be remembered? Today, developer Lab42 Games and award-winning indie publisher Secret Mode are announcing A Storied Life: Tabitha, a wholesome puzzle game combining serene packing puzzles with a choose-your-own-story twist.
In A Storied Life: Tabitha, players will arrive at the house of someone close to them who has recently died, to find a ruined memoir and a letter of interest from a publisher. Picking through the items that made up this person’s life, you’ll choose what stories you want to tell from their past, using the belongings they’ve left behind.
Each room of the house is filled with trinkets and treasures, but you can only keep so many items. Carefully position objects in a cardboard box and use bubble wrap and tape to secure fragile belongings and strengthen the box for heavier items. Decide what will stay with you, what will be sold, and what will be discarded as you check cupboards and drawers and rearrange furniture to uncover everything still waiting to be found.
Once you’ve packed up a room, it’s time to write a chapter. Each item comes with its own list of words to fill out the memoir, and each word takes the story in entirely new directions. Will you remember this person as a loving parent? A shy recluse? Or perhaps an erratic eccentric? The choice is yours – though the publisher might not appreciate it if your story makes no sense.
A Storied Life: Tabitha is an original game from the team at Lab42 Games, a frequent collaborator with publisher Secret Mode on ports for influential wholesome games like A Little to the Left and Wobbledogs Console Edition. It will launch on PC in early 2026.
About A Storied Life: Tabitha
A Storied Life: Tabithais a cozy narrative game about memory, legacy, discovery, and joy.
An elderly loved one has died, leaving you their estate and a letter encouraging you to sell any valuables. But when a mishap spoils their soon-to-be-published memoirs, you set out to repair the damage, piecing together their hidden past using the items you inherit.
House clearing with care
Explore a picturesque country house and pack away its contents, room by room. Move furniture, lift rugs, and open cupboards to uncover hidden and forgotten objects.
What separates cherished items from rubbish? Slowly sift through fragments of someone’s past and decide whether to keep, auction, or discard each object.
Relaxing packing puzzles
You can’t keep everything. Move and rotate items to fit them into boxes. Limited space and weight considerations mean you must let some things go.
Strengthen boxes with tape and vacuum pack soft goods to fit more in. Don’t forget to bubble wrap fragile objects or they may break when unpacking.
Restore your loved one’s memoirs
Every item you save unlocks a set of associated words. Use these to mend the gaps in the damaged memoirs, completing the sentences to reveal a storied life.
You determine how the past is recorded. Uplifting, silly, shocking, funny, sombre… the memoirs have many potential branches, and every decision is yours.
A Storied Life: Tabitha will launch on PC in early 2026 and is available to wishlist on Steam now.

[August 21, 2025] – Today, during the Gamescom Xbox broadcast, Bellring Games unveiled the next evolution of its dark fantasy action extraction RPG: Mistfall Hunter BETA 3, coming September 2025 to Steam. The Gyldenmist calls once more—and this time, players will return with new power, new boss, and new truths to uncover in a world falling to ruin.
Mistfall Hunter is set in a shattered world where the gods have long since perished. Amid the darkness and despair, stories of heartbreak and defiant courage endure. With the release of the upcoming BETA 3, more of these hidden lores will begin to surface—waiting for players to uncover it, piece by piece.
A brand-new announcement trailer debuted today, teasing key additions including the Camp, a new questline, the Blasphemer Seer class path, a fearsome new Mist Lord, and the much-anticipated debut of female character variants for all core classes. The BETA 3 hunt begins this September.
What’s New in BETA 3:
The Camp – A New Hub for Preparation, Lore, and Connection: The Camp is now the first place Gyldhunters see when they enter the world. This explorable hub area blends quiet moments of preparation with new layers of storytelling. Here, you’ll meet Dew, the mysterious goddess who guides your journey, and interact with new NPCs that offer quests, gear upgrades, auctions, and essential services. Invite friends, form parties, and strategize before calling upon Soekja to summon the boat that will carry you into the Gyldenmist.
New Class Path, Blasphemer Seers: The once-divine Seers now splinter. While some remain faithful, others walk a new path.Blasphemer Seers reject the Goddess of Light and channel their suffering into brutal close-quarters combat. Wielding maces infused with elemental devastation, they unleash a Special State that fuels explosive burst damage and savage flanking strikes. It’s a violent rebuke of divinity—and a deadly asset in the right hands.
New Boss: General Harald: Prepare for an unforgettable boss encounter – General Harald, former hero of Brandrgarde. Once a revered commander, his soul was lost in a desperate experiment to stop the Gyldenmist. Now, twisted by madness and power, Harald guards the ruins as a relentless executioner. Only the most fearless Gyldhunters will survive him—and claim the treasures he protects.
Playable Female Characters + Customization Debut: The female versions of all five core classes—Sorcerer, Black Arrow, Shadowstrix, Mercenary, and Seer—are now fully playable. Alongside this long-awaited feature, BETA 3 introduces the first wave of character customization, giving players more freedom to define their identity in the Age of Corrosion.
