Get Ready for a Terrifying New Look at the Nightmare Horrors that Await The Traveler

KRAKOW, Poland – July 23, 2025 – Bloober Team has released the first extended gameplay video for its highly anticipated sci-fi horror title, Cronos: The New Dawn. This eerie 10-minute showcase offers a gripping deep dive into the game’s intense combat, terrifying enemies, and survival mechanics while introducing two of the game’s hauntingly distinct environments: Islands in The Mist and The Hospital.

In Islands in The Mist, players navigate a mysterious liminal space where visibility is limited, tension is high, and danger lurks in every fog-drenched corner. Meanwhile, The Hospital delivers a claustrophobic descent into madness, where sterile corridors twist into nightmarish labyrinths, echoing with the remnants of a forgotten past.

Don’t Let Them Merge

In this latest reveal, players can get a closer look at the much-anticipated “Merge” mechanic in action. In Cronos: The New Dawn, fallen enemies, known as The Orphans, don’t stay dead for long! If players fail to burn their bodies, these fallen monsters can be absorbed by nearby Orphans. Through a grotesque process known as Merging, enemies transform into faster, stronger, and more horrifying abominations, gaining new abilities and becoming even more formidable in combat, creating terrifying new nightmares for The Traveler to overcome.

A Traveler Through Time

Players follow The Traveler in action, an agent of the mysterious Collective who emerges from a dystopian future to journey back through time. Their mission: to extract individuals before they perish in the apocalypse.

Guided by the cryptic travel log of a mysterious predecessor, Traveler ND 3500, players will explore unsettling post-apocalyptic environments inspired by real-world locations, including the Kraków district of Nowa Huta. Here, decaying Brutalist architecture is warped by reality-bending anomalies.

The video also gives players a closer look at the game’s unique approach to time travel, as The Traveler navigates two time periods – the decaying future and 1980s Poland – thrusting players into the decaying district of New Dawn, inspired by real-life Nowa Huta, where survival means bending time itself.

While exploring a world on the edge of annihilation, players will encounter the grotesque and nightmarish enemies known as The Orphans… twisted remnants of a world undone.

Face the Terror

In addition, the extended gameplay video offers players a chilling glimpse of one of the game’s formidable bosses, the ominous entity known only as Terror. This encounter sets the tone for the psychological and physical horrors that await.

Promising a deeply atmospheric experience, blending psychological horror with innovative mechanics and a rich, time-twisting narrative, Cronos: The New Dawn’s newly released footage offers a tantalizing taste of what’s to come when the game launches this Fall.

Cronos: The New Dawn is set for release in Fall 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, and PC via Steam and Epic. Wishlist now on Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, and PlayStation to receive updates on this one-of-a-kind survival horror experience. Stay tuned for more horrors to follow soon.

New customers, quests, trinkets, species, features, cosmetics, Achievements, and a whole new district to uncover!

London, England – July 23rd, 2025 — “Best Small Studio” indie game developer Spilt Milk Studios is delighted to reveal that their ‘Very Positive’ rated wholesome shopkeeping game Trash Goblin has just released its first major update post-launch with Spirit of Customer Service. This latest 1.1 version adds upwards of two hours of new content – though a lot more if you’re a completionist!

The Spirit of Customer Service update adds 35 new trinkets, a mysterious new customer called The Spirit of Lost Things – who initiates their own bespoke questline, and a new quest for fan favorite lizard man Donoval. You could call it a sequel for Donoval!

That’s not all, as this 1.1 update adds a new district with the tourist trap Follybrink. If things are getting too hectic for you, don’t despair, as we’ve added an all new Shop Shut sign, allowing you to stop all customer traffic, make your business invite-only, or open as usual. There’s also new paperdolls, i.e. stranger Spiritfolk who will turn up at your shop alongside the rest of the colourful cast – which includes beloved returning characters like Redoir, Talmara, and Aunty. Completionists will also enjoy that there are seven new Achievements and three new cosmetic sets including a Summer theme, Spirit theme and a new Ambassador set!

On top of this we also have a new upcycling feature which allows you to choose from  trinkets all around the workshop, rather than only those in your stash or immediate viewpoint.

“As we enter Trash Goblin’s post-launch era we wanted to continue to build our cozy craftsgoblin community and keep current goblins tinkering by adding more content,” said Andrew Smith, Creative Director at Spilt Milk Studios. “We’ve been listening to player feedback and know what people want. We saw people were having Donoval withdrawals and thought ‘We can’t have that! We need more Donoval!’ Well now we have that and a whole lot more! We’d like to thank our community by continuing to offer more trash – which is goblin for ‘treasure!’”

An upbeat musical number, unexpected mishaps, and your chance to win signed sheet music by composer Daniel Ingram.

[Wales, UK – July 23, 2025] – The curtain’s rising on another showstopping tune from Billie Bust Up, the whimsical 3D musical platformer in which rhythm meets adventure. The latest original song, “Adventure,” is available now — a bright and theatrical solo performed by Billie the goat as she sets out on her grand quest. To mark the occasion, Giddy Goat Games is inviting fans to put their own spin on the track in the official Adventure Cover Contest. Check out the new song below!

Composed by Emmy-nominated songwriter Daniel Ingram, “Adventure” bursts with optimism and Broadway-style flair. But while Billie sings with wide-eyed enthusiasm, chaos quietly unravels around her. As the music swells, her friends fall victim to a series of slapstick mishaps, all while Billie marches forward, blissfully unaware. It’s a tongue-in-cheek twist on the classic adventure song, mixing theatrical charm with darkly comedic humor.

Fans of all skill levels are encouraged to join the Adventure Cover Contest and reimagine the song in their own style. From sweeping orchestral renditions to quirky kazoo remixes, all interpretations are welcome. The grand prize winner will receive a signed orchestra print from Daniel Ingram along with original sheet music used during the orchestra, and five runner-ups will each get a PC game key for Billie Bust Up at launch.

The contest runs through August 31, 2025, and folks can submit their covers by using the submission form within this link.

Key Features:

• Move to the Music: Engage in rhythm-based battles where your attacks sync to the beat, and music adapts to your play style, creating dynamic, ever-changing gameplay experiences.
• An Enchanting Ensemble: Team up with a quirky cast of heroes and villains, each with their own unique personalities and backstories, in a whimsical, adventurous tale.
• For the Young at Heart: Inspired by animated classics, Billie Bust Up blends fantasy, humor, and heartfelt moments with a story of friendship, family, and hidden secrets.
• Showstopping Songs: Experience character-driven songs composed by Daniel Ingram, with an optional sing-along mode to bring out your inner performer.
• Embrace the Magic: Use a variety of magical abilities, from gliding with an umbrella wand to freezing enemies, solving puzzles, and vanishing into invisibility.

Adventure once more into Varlamore with a brand-new area expansion and high-risk, high-reward boss fight

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025, Cambridge, UK. Set off for one final epic quest to defeat the Doom of Mokhaiotl in ‘Varlamore: The Final Dawn’, the concluding chapter to Old School RuneScape’s beloved Varlamore questline, available in-game today for Old School RuneScape members. 

Return to the world of Varlamore to face off against the fearsome Doom in this huge area expansion, featuring three brand new locations to explore, levelling up your skills and unlocking exciting new rewards. Discover the autumnal Auburnal Valley, the perfect place for players to brush up on their Fletching skilling technique; visit the isolated Custodia Pass, an inhospitable pass bordering the Kebos Lowlands that harbors a challenging new slayer dungeon; and roam the tropical Tlati Rainforest, the original home of the Talkasti people, a duo of main settlements and the Gemstone Crab: a brand new PvM boss awaiting to be tackled with fellow adventurers. 

Watch The Making of Varlamore: Exclusive Behind the Scenes video below

At the heart of Varlamore: The Final Dawn is a new Master Level Quest. Steeped in mystery, players will need to join forces with the Queen to save Itzla and face the Doom of Mokhaiotl. Successfully defeating Doom offers lucrative rewards, including the Eye of Ayak, a one-handed magic weapon; the Confliction Gauntlets; and a pair of Avernic Treads, upgradable boots that players can combine with Pegasian, Primordial, and Eternal boots for the ultimate tribrid footwear.

Upon defeating Doom, choose between escaping with your hard-earned loot or fighting an even more formidable version of the boss for rarer prizes. With Doom becoming increasingly challenging the deeper you drive him into his burrow, players can push their skills to the test. But be careful: should you die, all of your previous rewards will be lost for good.  

To embark on The Final Dawn, players will need to have reached level 66 Thieving, 52 Runecraft, 52 Fletching, and have completed The Heart of Darkness and Perilous Moons quests.

The War Thunder publisher expands its portfolio with “The Pit”, one of Fortnite’s most successful user-created maps.  

Gaijin Entertainment is thrilled to announce the acquisition of The Pit, one of the most successful user-created maps in Fortnite. This multi-million-dollar deal in the Fortnite Creative ecosystem signals a new strategic direction for Gaijin, as the company makes a major move into the user-generated content space. 

Originally developed by renowned Fortnite creator Geerzy (Gavin Gear), The Pit has been a standout success in Fortnite, attracting millions of players. With Fortnite operating as an expansive ecosystem where creators can monetize their maps through Epic Games’ engagement payout model, this acquisition represents a highly profitable and scalable opportunity for Gaijin.

“The Pit has been a defining project for me, and I’m thrilled to see it enter a new phase under Gaijin Entertainment. Their expertise in online gaming and commitment to innovation make them the perfect team to take The Pit to the next level,” said Geerzy, creator of The Pit.

Prior to this acquisition, Gaijin Entertainment and Geerzy collaborated to hand over this Island to EndoWorlds, a Gaijin portfolio studio, to manage and expand “The Pit”. After the transitional period of two months, both parties agreed that the new team is more than capable of bringing “The Pit” to new heights.

“When we launched Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), we envisioned building an ecosystem where creators could develop engaging experiences and choose how to grow their business in Fortnite,” said Saxs Persson, EVP of the Fortnite Ecosystem at Epic Games. “It’s awesome to see the investment from Gaijin, and we hope investments like this will lead to new opportunities for creators.” 

“The acquisition of The Pit marks a new chapter for us” said Anton Yudintsev, founder of Gaijin Entertainment. “We are committed to supporting innovative gaming experiences, and UGC on platforms such as Fortnite is a new exciting opportunity for us”.

With this acquisition, Gaijin Entertainment continues to evolve beyond its traditional portfolio, embracing new business models and looking for more ways to bring new fun experiences to gamers on all modern and future platforms.

While Gaijin is widely known for its free-to-play games, the company is actively diversifying and exploring new business models. In 2025, Gaijin is set to launch several paid titles, including Aces of Thunder (a VR flight action game developed by an internal team), Active Matter (a sci-fi extraction shooter developed by Matter Team), and has already released Cubic Odyssey (an indie open world adventure developed by Atypical Games).
