0

LOS ANGELES – SEPTEMBER 16, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, announced that its anime open-world RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin will launch its v2.1 update. Players can experience the new hero Khala, along with new raid content, an expanded Transcendence difficulty challenge, new quest, and limited-time events. 

Khala, a thief from Ravens who possesses the magic of the “Shaper,” will join The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin. She can fight with Dual Swords, Nunchaku, and Gauntlet, while each weapon offers a distinct combat style. For example, Dual Swords allows Khala to become a wind-type Attacker who builds up buffs and unleashes them for explosive damage. When equipped with Nunchaku, she serves as a wind-type Burst Specialist who stacks debuffs to amplify the team’s firepower. When using Gauntlet, Khala becomes an Earth Burst Specialist who builds Burst and uses debuffs to increase the team’s normal skill damage. 

Players can obtain Khala through a new Pick-Up Draw “Ravens’s Thief of Honor,” available after the update through October 7. The Hero Khala Trial Event will also be available during the same period, allowing players to try her combat abilities and earn rewards such as Star Fragments, Supreme Mastery EXP, and more. Khala’s exclusive costume draw “A Belief Called Honor” will feature her exclusive skin and weapon skin.

The update will also introduce the Selective Pick Up event “Stargazer Invitation,” based on the result of the player vote. Merlin, Elizabeth, and Daisy, who are the top three heroes selected by players,  will appear in hero and exclusive costume Pick-Up Draws until October 7. 

New content will be added, including the new raid “Ferzen Mine,” where players can obtain rewards such as Star Fragments and new equipment. The Boss Challenge – 「Corrupted」 Ancient Dragon will expand with the new Transcendence difficulty, offering rewards including Transcendence Refinement/Engraving materials. In addition, “The Holy Knight’s Sword,” a new quest based on the original anime and manga’s story, will be added, along with the limited-time “Vanya Ale Festival” featuring event quests, mini-game, and more. The Vanya Ale Festival will run until October 23.

Based on the hit Japanese manga and anime IP The Seven Deadly Sins, which has sold over 55 million copies globally, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin lets players explore Britannia in a vast open world. It features tag-based combat, combination skills, and customizable teams using diverse characters and weapons. Multiplayer elements include forming parties for exploration or teaming up to defeat bosses.

Go hands-on with Warota at Tokyo Game Show 2026 (Hall 2, Booth 02-C12).

Bad news: your new home is Luna, a world wrecked by the party-loving Demon King and her monsters. Wield those newfound abilities to transform the leftover scraps into a bountiful village. Rebuild the world, find allies to join the fight, and shut down those parties!

Channel the Goddess’ power with more than 20 Class-granting hats. Become a Farmer, Woodcutter, Warrior, Mage, and more, adapting to the village’s needs on the fly. But you can’t do everything on your own! Place a hat on recruited villagers to assign them a role and set them to work, or take them on adventures and watch them grow into trusted allies.

Go on scavenger hunts for resources with recruited allies. Chop down trees to collect wood, hunt for food, and mine rocks to collect ore. Construct homes and prepare mouth-watering meals to create a thriving community, one happy belly at a time. Foster an army of friends capable of dethroning the Demon King!

Prepare the town for the nightly concerts of Platinum, the idol Demon King next door, and the monster hordes her shows whip into a frenzy. Scour the lands for Goddess Statues to receive powerful blessings. Stack boosts in power, recovery speed, elemental effects, and more to gain an upper hand in the fighting fiesta, then defend the home you’ve built from scratch and stop the Demon King’s madness once and for all! 

“Bounders around the globe will soon dive into the comically mystical world of Luna in Steam Early Access,” said developer Team EARTH WARS. “The feedback collected here will be used to help develop the full Version 1.0, which is currently scheduled for release in 2027. This will include a new story, as well as new lands to explore and new hats (job classes!) to wear!”

0

TOKYO — Sept. 16, 2026 — Legacy Code, the quirky physics simulation game developed by Room 127 and published by Kodansha Game Creators’ Lab, fashions fantastical fighters on PC via Steam in 2027. Go hands-on with the bizarre new creature creator at Tokyo Game Show this weekend, where it was selected as a finalist at “Sense of Wonder Night 2026.”

Manufacture enigmatic machinations called “Mechanimals” by combining all kinds of objects, and set them loose upon the world to do battle…no, really, anything can be combined!Frankenstein together all kinds of parts like heads, arms, and legs with motors, doll heads, character merchandise, electric fans, televisions, 3D puzzles, dentures, chains, cacti…the list goes on! 

Powered by the proprietary “Marionette Engine,” all Mechanimals come to life no matter their design or anatomy. Each powered-up part comes with its own quirks, and may cause Mechanicals to move in unpredictable ways, surprising even Legacy Code’s creators! Marvel at how they manage to amble across the ground and navigate terrain hazards.

Hodgepodge together a battle-ready Mechanimal, then face off against abnormal adversaries, collecting parts from fallen foes after every skirmish for future upgrades. Attach newer, more powerful parts, and head back into the fray in search of greater challenges.

Recognized for its originality, Legacy Code has been selected as one of eight finalists in this year’s Sense of Wonder Night at Tokyo Game Show, handpicked amongst more than 1,500 competing submissions. Finalists are chosen based on their ideas that evoke a sense of wonder and change, and Legacy Code earned its place through its unique concept of creating unpredictable creatures created from scraps.

“We tried our best to create Mechanimals that would break the physics engine, but somehow, every combination of parts led to a living creature,” said Yasuta, Programmer at Room127. “Creativity truly knows no bounds in Legacy Code, and we invite all Tokyo Game Show attendees to try their hand at creating bizarre creatures.”

Legacy Code is planned for release on PC via Steam in 2027 with language support in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. To stay up-to-date with the latest information, follow developer Room 127 on X/Twitter, and wishlist the game on Steam.

Community Update 1 strengthens SpaceCraft’s foundations as a persistent online sandbox for exploration and industry with improvements that streamline production and automation, freeing players up to spend more time exploring the universe, while at the same time offering more variation in progression systems and Corporations easier to navigate.

“This Early Access period has been hugely instructive for us and our plans for the future of SpaceCraft,” said Nicolas Carnasse, CEO of Shiro Games. “Our players have shown us – and told us – how they want to play, and this update means they will be waiting at Workstations less, getting more out of their bases, and having more freedom to explore the galaxy and expand their businesses, whether that’s alone or alongside other players.”

Built for new and returning players, ZERO eases growth burdens, monetization pressure, PK stress, and competition barriers through increased equipment drop rates and EXP gains, adjusted combat balance, and a simplified progression structure that excludes Mythic-grade Summons and Awakenings. A key feature is Farming Crystals that allows players to obtain the core in-game currency Crystals through hunting and gameplay.

Certain fields are Peace Zones where PK is disabled, while field bosses in these zones allow broader participation, guild crafting materials, and high-grade equipment crafting. ZERO currently lets players experience Abyss 1F and the Sinerim region, with future content to follow sequentially.

ZERO-exclusive events offer 550 Summon Scrolls, Legendary Holy Garment and Familiar, weekly chances to obtain Heroic Holy Garment or Familiar during the first month after launch, and level milestone chests. The ZERO Special Corps Growth Event provides Heroic equipment and skill books, while the [ZERO] Special Starter Package, containing Heroic Holy Garment Summon Scroll, Heroic Familiar Summon Scroll and more, is available to all players who login to the game.

For existing servers, “Legendary Festival” offers Legendary Holy Garment and Familiar, 330 Summon Scrolls, Abyss-related benefits, and the upgraded Elite Special Corps Growth Event with high-grade equipment and more. Running through October 7, the event dungeon “Full Moon Forest” will be available across both existing servers and ZERO, offering generous rewards to participants. 

An official sequel to Raven (EvilBane: The Iron King), RAVEN2 is a blockbuster MMORPG set in a dark fantasy realm reimagined with unrivaled graphics. As a member of the Special Corps, players will embark on a journey to investigate dangerous and bizarre incidents under royal order, and engage in a large-scale, cruel war.

BLACKWOOD: ONE PURCHASE, THREE ACTS – ACT 1 OUT NOW ON STEAM

0

Buy BLACKWOOD now and receive Acts 2 and 3 as free updates, with the complete three-act story planned to arrive by September 2027

September 16, 2026. Indie developer AttritoM7 Productions and publisher IZilla Games today announce that BLACKWOOD: Act 1 is out now on Steam, beginning a dark, cinematic single-player story set in 2012 New York, where by day players run a seemingly ordinary DVD store and by night step into the role of a ruthless assassin.

BLACKWOOD follows Anton, whose seemingly mundane day job provides a stark contrast to the violent world he inhabits after dark. Combining cinematic storytelling with grounded combat, brutal takedowns, and responsive gunplay, BLACKWOOD puts players in control of a character living a dangerous double life, where every encounter can demand careful preparation, and every bullet counts.

Act 1 is just the beginning. BLACKWOOD is designed as a complete three-act experience, with Acts 2 and 3 included with the initial purchase and arriving as free updates to existing owners. Act 2 is planned for March 2027, with Act 3 following in September 2027.

Watch the BLACKWOOD: Act 1 launch trailer below.

ONE PURCHASE. THREE ACTS.

BLACKWOOD launches at $24.99USD / €24.99EUR / £23.49GBP, with the base price increasing as the game expands:

  • Act 1 – September 16, 2026: $24.99/€24.99/£23.49
  • Act 2 – March 2027: $29.99/€24.99/£23.49
  • Act 3 – September 2027: $34.99/€34.99/£33.49

The proposition is simple: buy BLACKWOOD once and receive all three acts. There is no need to purchase Act 2 or Act 3 separately. Anyone who purchases BLACKWOOD during Act 1 will receive the remaining acts as free updates to their existing copy. 

SUPPORT THE BLACKWOOD PROJECT

For players who want to support the development of BLACKWOOD, a Supporter Edition will also be available for $5.00 / €5.00 / £4.49.

The Supporter Edition includes:

  • An exclusive cosmetic for Anton
  • An exclusive handgun
  • $5,000 Dirty Cash
  • $500 Clean Cash

The Supporter Edition is an optional upgrade for players who want to show their support while picking up some exclusive in-game items and additional cash.

THE STORY STARTS HERE

Act 1 delivers 6+ hours of gameplay, combining four main story missions with multiple side missions and additional content. Players who spend more time with the store management and sim elements of BLACKWOOD can expect a longer experience than the prescribed 6 hours.

BLACKWOOD is a focused, linear single-player experience rather than an open-world game, with its story driven by carefully designed encounters, cinematic presentation and a growing sense of danger. 

The planned structure is:

  • Act 1: 4 main missions, plus side missions and additional content
  • Act 2: 4 main missions, plus side missions and additional content
  • Act 3: 5 main missions, plus side missions and additional content

The mission counts refer to the main story missions only. Each act contains additional content beyond the main storyline, while Act 3 features an additional main mission to accommodate an alternate ending.

MORE TO COME

The three major acts form the backbone of BLACKWOOD‘s story, but development will continue between their releases.

Updates can introduce new side missions, collectibles, achievements, takedowns, weapons, enemy variations and other additional content, where appropriate. Patches will also address bugs, technical issues and other improvements as development continues.

THE ROAD AHEAD

With Act 1 available now, AttritoM7 Productions continues development on the remaining chapters of BLACKWOOD.

Act 2 is planned for March 2027, followed by Act 3 in September 2027, completing the three-act story. These dates represent the team’s current development targets, with further details on each upcoming act to be revealed as development progresses.

For players joining BLACKWOOD today, the journey begins with Act 1, but their purchase already includes everything still to come.

KEY FEATURES

  • One Purchase, Three Acts – Buy BLACKWOOD once and receive Acts 2 and 3 as free updates.
  • 6+ Hours in Act 1 – Four main story missions alongside side missions and additional content.
  • A Double Life – Experience Anton’s life as a seemingly ordinary DVD store owner by day and ruthless assassin by night.
  • Tactical Combat – Manage limited ammunition, realistic weapon behaviour and dangerous encounters where every decision matters.
  • A Focused Story – A cinematic, linear single-player experience unfolding across three connected acts.
  • More to Come – Future acts and updates will expand BLACKWOOD with new story content, missions, collectibles, weapons, enemy variations and more.

BLACKWOOD: Act 1 is out now on Steam with Acts 2 and 3 launching in 2027.

(September 16, 2026) – Today publisher Serenity Forge (Fractured Blooms, To The Moon, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!) and developer Arbitrary Metric launched their apocalyptic resort sim Roman Sands RE:Build on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and XBOX. This launch is accompanied by the release of Paratopic: Overdub, a PC re-release of their award-winning 2018 horror adventure.

Roman Sands RE:Build Trailer:

Paratopic: Overdub Trailer:

Roman Sands RE:Build is a surreal, pastel-toned adventure told through two stories set across a stranded luxury resort and a decaying zoological research station. At the resort, players serve a variety of guests with endless demands, racing against the clock to complete each request to rank up, and unlocking new equipment along the way at the basement’s gacha machines.

In the research station, players are trapped in a time loop with a parasite spreading through the facility, forcing a choice: protect what remains of the research, or protect themselves. Their only company is a voice on the radio, performed by content creator and streamer STPeach. Across both settings, Roman Sands RE:Build blends adventure, visual novel, puzzle-solving, and horror, as the line between the resort and the research station begins to blur.

Roman Sands RE:Build launches alongside Paratopic: Overdub, a PC re-release that revives Arbitrary Metric’s award-winning 2018 liminal horror classic as a 3-in-1 remaster, remix, and sequel, introducing improved textures and animations, new characters, and new secrets to discover.

Both launches coincide with Serenity Forge’s annual publisher sale, a two-week promotion offering discounts of up to 90% across their catalog on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and XBOX.
