Gothenburg, Sweden – July 29, 2025 – Today, Thunderful and developer To The Sky announced Godbreakers, a four player co-op hack’n’slash set to release this year on PlayStation 5, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and be playable on Steam Deck. Players and their friends can jump into Godbreakers today through a free demo on Steam to get a first-look at the title’s combat, co-op abilities, build depth and fluid gameplay.

In Godbreakers, players are vessels of humanity, brought back by celestial beings to destroy the Monad, an unbound artificial intelligence.

“As the first title for our studio, we wanted to create a game that feels fast, fluid and fun, where every moment is a chance to unleash chaos alongside your friends,” said Jugo Mirkovic, CEO and Executive Producer of To The Sky. “We’ve poured years worth of knowledge into crafting the best gameplay experience possible in Godbreakers, and we’re so excited to finally share it with the world.”

  • Memorable Boss Fights – Clash with a wild roster of multi-phase bosses, each with evolving attack patterns and distinct personalities, that will test reflexes and coordination, pushing players and their crew to thrive in peak chaos.
  • Fast, Fluid Combat with Strategic Depth – Cancel moves mid-action for precise control in real time, and chain together strikes, dashes, and abilities to unlock new weapons with runs to keep tactics evolving.

40v40 squad-based tactical shooter ‘83 reimagines history with “Cold War Gone Hot” trailer

Rising Storm and Red Orchestra vets showcase period accurate conflict that could have been!

Cornwall, England July 29th, 2025 – Blue Dot Games are proud to reveal the latest trailer for ‘83, their upcoming 40v40 squad-based tactical first-person shooter set in an alternate 1983 where the Cold War escalated into an all-out warzone. Coming to Steam Early Access later this year, ‘83 is a spiritual successor to Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, which much of Blue Dot Worked on. This latest trailer, Cold War Gone Hot, shows off ‘83’s horrific “what if” scenario where players take the side of NATO or Warsaw Pact forces in sprawling, period accurate battles.

This offers the first look at the Fulda Gap map. Set in Germany between the Hesse-Thuringian border, the Fulda Gap was a strategically important region during the Cold War, as its two narrow corridors of lowlands offered the Warsaw Pact a potential path for its tanks to initiate a surprise attack. That makes it the perfect playground to enact this invasion that very well could have been.

‘83 puts players in the boots of a soldier in this shadow history, wherein massive 40v40 matches feature authentic Cold War-era weapons, vehicles and squad-based objectives. Coordinate with teammates, capture critical points and dominate the battlefield with smart tactics and teamwork.

‘83 was built on the idea of “accessible realism”, where the game is mindful of players’ time, while also offering an accurate portrayal of how a historical battle could play out. Matches average around 30-40 minutes, while dying only takes you out of the match for a short while, before allowing you to respawn. Don’t underestimate this seemingly low-stakes penalty, as that time-out is enough to turn the tide of battle since ‘83 requires thorough communication and teamwork, with Team Commanders guiding their faction through strategic organization and nail-biting calls. 

Players can choose from a variety of roles: from frontline riflemen to vehicle operators and support units – each with their own loadouts and strategic value. ‘83 features era-authentic weapons and equipment with realistic handling and lethality, with each armament meticulously designed and animated according to its real life counterpart. Every weapon behaves in a realistic way, with barrels and suppressors overheating when rapid firing, machineguns require a stable surface for accuracy, and bullets don’t magically teleport in between magazines when you reload a half-empty one. ‘83’s focus on realism, coordination and large-scale immersion offers players a gritty, boots-on-the-ground experience in a world teetering on the edge of nuclear war!

If you’d like to get your hands on ‘83 early, sign up here for the alpha playtest!

“We love war games and our team consists of long-term veterans of the Red Orchestra, Rising Storm and Squad franchises with up to 17 years’ experience on each, and ‘83 is our most ambitious outing yet,” said Tony Gillham, CEO at Blue Dot Games. “We wanted to create a massive war game that captures the spirit and tactical nature of actual warfare with the accessibility and fun of a more casual game that doesn’t require such a huge time commitment to enjoy.”

Known for their work on acclaimed titles such as Red Orchestra and Rising Storm, the team brings decades of combined experience in multiplayer game design, systems development, and historical authenticity.

Strange Scaffold Launches Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking on Steam

Seventh Strange Scaffold game in two years catapults medieval meals into giant monster mouths

El Paso, TX – July 29, 2025 – Dinner is served – catapult-style.

  • Run away from monstrous creatures–and when necessary, turn them into food.
  • No tomatoes, since they were only introduced to Europe in the 16th century.

Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking is Strange Scaffold’s seventh release in two years, following Life Eater,CLICKOLDING,I Am Your Beast,River Heights Mall Gene Splicer: 3000 (a Meow Wolf arcade cabinet), Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown.

“I can’t thank the people who have been participating in the open playtest of Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking enough,” says studio head Xalavier Nelson Jr. “Their enthusiasm and discussion around what we’ve made will be the foundation of the post-launch support we’ve got planned for the game, and the wider relationship of creative and production transparency that we want to continue at Strange Scaffold in the future. Our players aren’t just in the room for one game—we’re inviting them into our entire creative journey across the studio.”

Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking is out now on Steam for PC with a launch discount of 40% off. Players can also grab it as part of the “Summer of Strange Scaffold” bundle, which includes Life Eater, CLICKOLDING, I Am Your Beast, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown, and Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking for 30% off, stacked with the new launch discount for a limited time.

CLEAN UP THE CHAOS AND RESCUE THE RAGAMUFFINS – MONSTER MOP UP SWEEPS ITS WAY TO PC ON AUGUST 14

Play Solo or Partner with Friends, Join the Ministry of Monster Concealment, and Mop ‘til You Drop

London, UK – July 28, 2025 – Yogscast Games, in partnership with indie developers Terahard Studios, today confirmed that the colourful, cute, and cosy cleaning sim, Monster Mop Up, will be available from Thursday, August 14, for PC, exclusively on Steam. In this PowerWash meets Ghostbusters multiplayer mash-up, players are dropped into rooms of disarray, tasked with restoring buildings to their former glory, alongside tracking down and saving cute, yet calamitous Ragamuffins. Players can view the new trailer below.

Hired by the Ministry of Monster Concealment, Custodians must explore, clean and dispose of all waste and secure the mischievous Ragamuffins who have, literally, left their mark. Sounds simple, but when disturbed, these adorable yet troublesome creatures unleash a wave of mess and mayhem, or poop, challenging up to six players to work together to contain the chaos. Armed with a bucket, mop, and trap, players can also use the environment to aid their efforts. Take advantage of secret interactions, such as magic orbs that obliterate the mess, and unlock upgrades through progression to clean, burn, and flush everything in sight, countering the antics of the goofy furballs. 

“We fell in love with Monster Mop Up the moment we saw it, and what’s not to love about a Ragamuffin that poops everywhere,” said Simon Byron, Managing Director, Yogscast Games. “Terahard Studios has created the perfect blend of a real-world cleaning sim and supernatural ghostbusting escapades where every clean-up is different, giving hours of endless fun whether playing alone or with friends.”

Players progress by unlocking new rooms through a variety of levels and challenges ranging from family homes to restaurants, mansions, and hotels. Once the cleaning rating is achieved, rewards are issued, which can be used to upgrade equipment or decorate the player’s home with charming accessories. Show off progression by visiting the Bazaar of Human Stuff, putting design skills to the test to create the perfect pad for the Ragamuffins who join as roommates once collected, or splashing out on valuable upgrades like rubber shoes, bucket grips, and soft hands to prevent another Ragamuffin mishap. Monster Mop Up delivers players an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as each corner gleams and every surface shines.
