This new adventure will even take you back to familiar locations that have changed beyond recognition, like the flying city of Chelomey, now under the crushing rule of a familiar, formerly-friendly, huge Robogirl.

New Weapons and Glove Abilities to Take Down Deadly Threats and Bosses

Face off against enhanced versions of the robots from the Facility and fight a new roster of enemies, including swarms of underwater mutants and the terrifying MOR-4Y lurking in the dark depths. Thankfully, “Enchantment Under the Sea” comes with two new weapons to dismantle these monstrosities: the Thunderclap, a powerful hammer that amps up damage with electrical current, and the KM-4 Kuzmich, a crowd-clearing double-barrel shotgun with customizable bullet spread.

They’re complemented by two new glove abilities: Blaze, a burning polymer skill letting you sling red-hot fireballs that deal area-of-effect damage; and Whip, a grapple-hook tool allowing P-3 to pull himself towards enemies and deal damage while also dodging quickly and accessing previously unreachable areas. Dive back into the strange and dystopian world of Atomic Heart with its third DLC, “Enchantment Under the Sea,” out now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. Get the Gold Edition, Premium Edition, or Atomic Pass to receive every DLC released so far as well as the last DLC still to come!

Dead by Daylight Delivers Its Darkest Tome Yet with ANGUISH

Fresh Additions Roll Out for the Artists from The Fog and Iron Maiden Collections, While a Twisted New Tome Seeks to Reward Those Willing to Push Themselves to the Brink of Despair

MONTRÉAL Jan. 28, 2025 – A new year of fear is set to unfold within The Fog, and Dead by Daylight isn’t wasting any time delivering the gruesome goods. Beginning Jan. 28, Tome 22: ANGUISH opens its pages to reveal new tormented tales and Outfits awaiting any player ready to test their resolve. Fan-favorite Collections also continue to expand as Lunar New Year, Iron Maiden, Artists from The Fog, and more each add eerie new ensembles.

Tortured Souls From endless meat hooks driven through chests to vicious Moris, the physical toll paid in a Dead by Daylight Trial is steep. Steeper still? The damage an eternity of pain and despair can inflict upon the mind.

Dead by Daylight’s Tome 22: ANGUISH dives headfirst into the darkness to explore these themes and more with new memories for The Blight and Jane Romero. Follow The Blight as he continues his experiments to better comprehend the sinister nature of a Bleed. Meanwhile, Jane interviews family members of those lost to The Fog, discovering just how far the effects of The Entity can extend beyond its Realm.

As always, rewards abound for those willing to venture into The Rift. Players can earn a series of Outfits that embody the torment of being trapped within Trials, including memorable Ultra Rare Outfits for Jane Romero and The Huntress, as well as ensembles for David King, Renato and Thalita Lyra, The Blight, The Plague, and The Knight.

Fog Fashion Elsewhere, Dead by Daylight’s Lunar New Year Collection returns on Jan. 28 to add an eye-catching red and gold Outfit for The Skull Merchant.

On Feb. 4 the Artists from The Fog Collection expands once more with two new looks from community artist DuckieGrumpy. These Outfits for Sable Ward and The Unknown lean into fairytale fantasy, reimagining the characters as a classic storybook pairing.

“My clear inspiration for the designs were the fairytale duo of Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf. The idea immediately hit me the moment Sable and The Unknown were released, thinking these two in particular would be perfect for it,” shared DuckieGrumpy on his approach to these new Outfits. “It makes me so happy knowing something I made has been put into a game I’ve adored for years.’’

Feb. 18sees a new update to the Days Gone By Collection as it continues to explore key moments in characters’ lives and will feature new Outfits for Jake Park, The Twins, and The Deathslinger.

Prepare for a poo-nami of monstrous multiplayer chaos this Steam Next Fest

Good, clean, creature-collecting fun!

Bristol, United Kingdom — January 28, 2025 | Get ready to be swept off your feet in this February’s Steam Next Fest as upcoming co-op cleaning sim Monster Mop Up announces its participation. Grab a mop and a couple of friends, give it some elbow grease, and revel in the satisfaction of a clean, well-decorated home and some new creature companions – even if they might make a mess of the place.

Set to launch later this year, the Yogscast Games and Terahard’s Next Fest promises good, clean fun (plus a considerable amount of, ahem, ‘monster waste’). As the new Custodian of the Ministry of Monster Concealment, players will be tasked with maintaining the secret existence of the rascally Ragamuffins. 

Though they have a tendency to hide, luckily (or perhaps unluckily) they tend to leave a trail in their wake. Players must hunt, mop and remove any evidence of Ragamuffins from the human world. Whether it’s a humble home or an entire mansion, no trace can remain if the monsters want to continue their peaceful coexistence!

These fluffy little guys all come with their own personalities, each one filling the players’ Monsteropedia as they work. Combining creature collecting with cleaning and decorating, Monster Mop Up offers an utterly gratifying experience for players from casual cleaners to total completionists.

The Monster Mop Up demo will be available as part of the February Steam Next Fest, which you will be able to check out on their Steam page from February 24, 2025.
