Legacy: Steel and Sorcery storms into Early Access on Steam 

Irvine, United States — February 12, 2025 | Welcome to Mithrigarde – a world that seemed lost to darkness, is now bursting with treasures ripe for the taking. Join the adventurers flooding the verdant lands of Legacy: Steel & Sorcery to loot lost treasures, brave the darkest dungeons and, most importantly make it out alive. The daring multiplayer title from Notorious Studios launches into Early Access today.

The ambitious next step for lovers of the MMO and RPG genres alike, this fantasy Extraction title sees players choose from a line-up of fantasy classes and dive weapons drawn into the monster-infested world Legacy has created. Each session is a truly open, instanced world, where precious spoils could lie around every corner. But, so too could fanged monsters guarding their hordes, or other players ready to steal the hard-earned treasure of others.

Utilising recognisable classes such as the Warrior and Rogue, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is designed to welcome MMO and RPG players to the Extraction genre with open arms – or, rather, openly armed enemies. After selecting their class they can queue alone, find allies or join friends in teams of three and plunder this gorgeous world together!

Created by industry veterans who spent decades shaping World of Warcraft, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is a love letter to PvP combat, resource gathering, exploration and the togetherness of MMOs, all while putting a fresh twist on a fantasy environment. WoW fans, however, can expect a totally new experience from Notorious Studios.

Perfect for fans of Dark and Darker or Escape from Tarkov who are looking for more of a Lord of the Rings-style fantasy touch, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery offers a breath of fresh air within the Extraction genre. 

Be it a bow, a blade or a battleaxe, arm yourself with your weapon of choice and prepare for the fight of a thousand generations in Mithrigarde today!

Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is now available to buy on Steam, and to keep up with the latest updates from Notorious Studios you can head over to X.

Unravel “The Roads Untraveled” Update with more choices, consequences, UX renovations, hand-drawn art, and more

TORONTO, Canada – Feb. 11, 2025 – Scarlet Hollow, the award-winning gothic horror narrative developed by Black Tabby Games (Slay the Princess), relaunches with The Roads Untraveled, a massive update introducing significant content and improvements to the Early Access release, launching Monday, March 3 in time for Steam’s Visual Novel Fest.

Ahead of Episode 5’s release, return to Scarlet Hollow, North Carolina — or visit for the first time, all are welcome — and you’ll find things are…different. The married powerhouse fueling Black Tabby Games continues to mine the Hollow’s cold, dark earth, renovating the user experience, expanding the script by more than 70,000 words across four chapters, and improving the UI. Bask in even more of Abby Howard’s evocative, award-winning artistry.

One week in Scarlet Hollow, North Carolina, will change everything. Your aunt Pearlanne Scarlet, owner of the coal town’s Scarlet Mine, is dead. You return home to pay your respects, only to find that your cousin Tabitha, Pearlanne’s daughter, hates you. Weird things are afoot in the midst of this strange place in an uncertain time of change, as something otherworldly stalks you from the shadows.

It was more than the funeral that pulled you to this town. Whatever this gravity is, it’s not from here. Upon arrival, this compulsive frequency leads you beyond the veil through an episodic adventure where every decision directs the story’s cursed course. Steel yourself: your aunt may not be the only life mourned this week. Welcome home.

Combine character traits — like communicating with animals and/or being hot — to encounter unique narrative trajectories exclusive to each. Discover that romance can bloom even in a graveyard and seek out potential partners, from the town’s resident cryptid hunter, to a strange and rotting specter who stalks your every move. Make Scarlet Hollow’s tale your own by directing the story’s course in a complex web of branching paths through seven planned chapters.

“Before diving into Scarlet Hollow’s final chapters, we wanted to take the opportunity to make its opening act more reflective of the extreme agency and deep character writing that defines the later episodes,” says Tony Howard-Arias, co-founder at Black Tabby Games. “Episode 1 was the very first game we made, and while we’re so proud of the impact it’s had on people, we’ve also learned so much since its release. We’re better game designers, better writers, and we know our characters much more intimately now than when we started. We’re so excited to give old fans an opportunity to re-explore the beginning of their journeys, and we can’t wait for a whole new crop of players to enter the Holler for the first time.” 

Scarlet Hollow – The Roads Untraveled Update launches with the start of Steam’s Visual Novel Fest on Monday, March 3, on PC via Steam. The entire reworked first episode will be available alongside this release as a free demo, with the ability to directly carry your progress over into the full game. 

For more information on Scarlet Hollow, check out the official website, follow developer Black Tabby Games on Twitter and Tumblr, and join the official Discord and Reddit.

Battle in PVP duels to become the tastiest homunculus in a surrealist gameplay experience.

Pittsburg, Pennysylvania – February 10th, 2025 | Welcome, fermentationist! Your admittance to the Royal Tasting awaits in Longjuice Squeeze, a roguelite extraction fighter coming to Steam later this year. Set in an absurd new world, begin your journey from zero to hero to battle for your spot among the juiciest fermentationists.

Get Juiced!

Congratulations! You’ve inherited your first homunculus shell, a crucial step in your journey toward becoming a revered fermentationist. With this homunculus you may participate in the Flavor Rites, a series of duels against fellow competitors vying for the same chance at glory. Through suffering and triumph, your little guy could achieve the most revered status in the realm: becoming  delicious longjuice, tasty enough for the Lord Alchemist himself…

PVP With Stakes

Tap into the tension of fighting games with Longjuice Squeeze, blending roguelite and extraction elements with seriously ridiculous taste. Progress through the game by winning Flavor Rites, a series of best-of-three duels against a bot or another player in the game’s multiplayer mode. At the start of every duel, each player will ante an item to be awarded to the winner of the Rite. After winning 100 Flavor Rites, your homunculus will be juiced and presented to the Lord Alchemist at his Royal Tasting. If your flavor fails to meet his standards, you’ll receive a new homunculus to refine with new flavors

Thousands Of Unique Builds

Find your advantage in battle by experimenting with Longjuice Squeeze’s build options. Items–such as weapons and cosmetic items–are the base of your kit. Enhance these items with additives and infusions, additional upgrades represented by cards in the game’s deckbuilder-esque system. Additives change an item’s stat impact and your guy’s flavor, while infusions attach special abilities to an item. Use infusions to turn your bloodgun into a deathray or add poking distance to your sword. Try additives to enhance your flavor, damage output, and core abilities. Refine your strategy, find the perfect build, and compete in more duels to find crazy item combos and new flavors worthy of the Royal Tasting!

Customize Your Homunculi

Longjuice Squeeze boasts simple yet intuitive combat mechanics. Reload your gun by landing hits with your sword, parry oncoming bullets with your blade, and avoid ranged attacks by dashing through the air and across the ground. Between the game’s best-of-three rounds, equip new upgrade combinations to deflect your opponent’s attacks more effectively or enhance core skills and stats.

Gameplay Features:

• Experience a new PVP fighter combining roguelite and extraction elements
• Original lore elements introduce players to the wacky world of homunculi, longjuice, and Flavor Rites
• Play with friends via online multiplayer, or battle solo against the game’s bot enemies
• 16 items, 14 additives, and 24 infusions combine into 1000+ different builds
• Neon surrealist art creates a vibrant vibe for this new world
• Original, genre-bending soundtrack to set the tone for every duel

Longjuice Squeeze will launch on Steam later this year.

Farming Simulator 25 released to international acclaim in November and is about to receive its first content extension. Publisher and developer GIANTS Software introduces one of the most advanced agricultural machines to the series: the NEXAT system.

All-in-one machine revolutionizes field operations

NEXAT, an acronym for “Next Generation Agriculture Technology”, is the world’s first holistic crop production system. Engineered by the German manufacturer of the same name, the system is based on a strong, versatile carrier vehicle with a remarkably high working width that can handle all arable tasks from tillage, seeding, planting, fertilization, crop protection and harvesting.

Letting real and virtual farmers integrate various interchangeable modules into the wide-span carrier aims to reduce the total number of required machines. That way, the all-in-one machine makes crop production simpler, faster, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Four new brands, 12 new machines

The NEXCO harvesting module and implement modules from leading agricultural brands for spraying, seeding, fertilizing, and more are included next to the carrier vehicle.

The NEXAT Pack includes seven brands and 12 machines to offer a wide range of possibilities and a well- balanced selection. In addition to NEXAT and its state-of-the-art system, Einböck, Geringhoff, and Väderstad are also represented. At the same time, DAMMANN, Evers Agro, and Wienhoff join the Farming Simulator series for the first time.

Farming Simulator 25 is available now for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Year 1 Season Pass is obtainable, which includes the NEXAT Pack, three more packs and a major expansion – fans save up to 25% compared to getting the content separately. GIANTS Software will also continue to release free content updates and user-generated content on the official ModHub.
