Play the demo now on Steam!

Brisbane, Australia, February 20th, 2025 – Game developer, The Tea Division, in association with Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield, are proud to unleash their revolutionary auto battler Vanguard Exiles on Steam Early Access March 11th. A redefined take on the genre, prepare yourself for a competitive strategy gameplay experience unlike any other, offering new scenarios in each round ensuring no two turns are ever alike!

Having been referred to as “a boardgame that can’t be a boardgame”, it’s easy to see how this description fits. Imagine a tabletop strategy game where the board constantly rearranges itself with each round, with players given one of countless Squad combinations to control. Set in a fantasy post-World War I diesel punk era where magic and technology fuse, your goal is simple: conquer enough territory to end the round in victory, where your strategy and decisions on the battlefield will be all that stands between you and a glorious victory…or a crushing defeat.

In Vanguard Exiles, each Unit has its own identity, with its own distinctive look and a unique array of traits and abilities. To further this, each Squad has its own makeup, consisting of different combinations of Units and Actions. Combat happens automatically, but as mentioned earlier, this is no typical auto-battler. Strategy is key, and you’ll have to play smart, making tough tactical decisions to ensure your victory. 

Vanguard Exiles offers an immense ruleset of complex mechanics, all happening under the hood, aiming to teach players the nuances of gameplay rather than intimidate them. After each round, you’re even able to see what your chances of victory were. Did you play smart and get unlucky? Or play poorly but nab victory purely by chance? Every game teaches you something new, offering unprecedented room to hone your strategy against other players, who are likely refining their own personal playstyles. The possibilities are endless!

There’s no need to wait for those wanting to play! The demo is currently available on Steam, offering a single-player mode to get you facing off against an AI opponent and familiarize yourself with the various Units and Actions available. But for those wanting the definitive gameplay experience, PvP comes to Vanguard Exiles in Early Access, launching March 11, not only giving players the option to battle it out online, but also with the addition of new Units and Actions available only in the Early Access build!

“Vanguard Exiles combines tabletop design with digital design into a unique and eclectic gameplay experience,” said Richard Garfield, game designer of Vanguard Exiles. “The variety offered by the game is exciting, and skillful play introduces all sorts of unexpected novelty. My favorite thing in game design is having an interesting space to explore – like with Magic: the Gathering and Keyforge. Like those games, Vanguard Exiles is deeply interesting, and I am delighted to share it with a broader audience!” 

“I’ve been in this industry for over 25 years and worked on some major titles and franchises, yet I’ve never been as excited or confident in a project as I have with Vanguard Exiles,” said Mark Rowley from The Tea Division. “When we soft launched early playtests to get some initial feedback, we were pleasantly surprised by how captivated people were by it. New players were immediately curious about what they did to win or lose, and wanted to play more to understand the underlying strategy. It didn’t take long for players to massively improve their game and we have seen this with the single player demo since. We can’t wait to see what happens when players face off against each other in online matches with the release of Early Access. On that note, we have a dedicated Spectator Mode so players can analyze others’ strategies and learn just by watching!”

About The Tea Division
The Tea Division is a remote studio based in Brisbane, gathering an assortment of passionate veterans, many of whom have worked together for decades, collectively having worked on over 100 games, spanning over 20 years of console, mobile, PC, indie and AAA video game development.

Vanguard Exiles is The Tea Division’s first self-published and fully owned title; a new style of Auto-battler designed by legendary game designer, Richard Garfield.

Leamington Spa, UK – 20th February, 2025: Leading UK games publisher Kwalee and Swedish indie developer Powersnake are thrilled to announce the launch of a New Game+ mode for the 2D Metroidvania Voidwrought on PC. Players can now delve deeper into its hand-drawn world of cosmic horrors with three distinct New Game+ paths to explore.

The following New Game+ paths have been added – 

The Reborn 

For players who like a major combat challenge, the Reborn path might be the choice for them. On this path, enemy damage and enemy health have been increased. 

The Harbinger

On this path, enemy damage is increased and regular attack damage is greatly reduced, but players will have access to unlimited Void Charges to take full advantage of their Relic abilities at any time!

The Undone

On this path, death itself becomes a weapon. Players will permanently lose 1 health bar per death and they cannot regain health outside of dying, but the regular attack damage is increased every time they die. Additionally, enemy damage is increased. 

Players now have the option to select Hardcore Mode right from the beginning, without the need to complete the game first. Hardcore mode brings permadeath to Voidwrought, adding new tension to every encounter. 

Voidwrought is available on Steam, the Nintendo eShop, and the Epic Games Store.

New Steam Next Fest Demo Available Today

SHANGHAI, China – Feb. 19, 2025 – Faun Town, a relaxing farming sim auto-builder RPG from developer Youle Fun and publisher 2P Games, ventures onto PC via Steam on Thursday, March 13, 2025. A new demo where not all is as it seems is available now.

Crashland on a mysterious yet peaceful island with no memories. Establish a base of operations, expand into a cozy farmland, and eventually a full-on production encampment. Traverse jungles, deserts, canyons, and mazes when scavenging for resources to repair the damaged ship.  

Restoring the ship requires raw materials, so chop wood and mine ore. Blissfully fish and cook hearty meals to have the energy for a hard day’s work. Slowly upgrade production from simple furniture and charming decorations for the homestead to futuristic warp coils. Upgrade the tech tree to unlock gene modifications, automated production, and more. 

Futuristic tech requires near unlimited energy. Expand with power grids and manage different types of robots to harvest crops, transport materials, and maintain the fields. Domesticate precious pets for organic companionship. But not all fauna on this island is friendly.

Take down bats to bears, and even alien creatures in fast-paced combat or through strategic tower defense. Wildlife isn’t the only thing to be worried about. Uncover hidden messages in underground caverns, witness blood-soaked rituals, and uncover the island’s dark secrets while repairing the wrecked spaceship to return home.

“We wanted to put a twist on the traditional farming sim experience by incorporating tower defense and an out of this world story,” said Yang Wei, Producer and Developer, Youle Fun. “Explorers will have the chance to immerse themselves in a one-of-kind experience as they make their escape off the mysterious island.”

Faun Town will be available on PC via Steam on Thursday, March 13, 2025, and has a new demo available now. Language support includes English and Simplified Chinese.
