Choose from three editions available at launch, enter the fractured multiverse, battle anomalies and fight rival operatives

Gaijin Entertainment and Matter Team announce that Active Matter, a hardcore online shooter set in the fractured multiverse, is available for purchase now on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as at Gaijin Store for PC. Active Matter combines realistic modern military gunplay with a strange and unpredictable world where the very fabric of reality is shattered. Players take on the role of operatives venturing into quantum-unstable zones in search of active matter – an incredibly valuable substance capable of distorting space and gravity. Players who purchased the Early Version of Active Matter through the Gaijin Store can claim access to the Steam version at no additional cost and can link their progress between the Gaijin and Steam versions.

Active Matter is available in three editions: Standard, Advanced and Deluxe. The Standard Edition provides everything needed to begin exploring the multiverse, including a substantial selection of weapons, ammunition, armor and medical supplies. The Advanced Edition expands the starting arsenal, while the Deluxe Edition offers the largest package with unique customizations and cosmetic items. Any edition is more than enough to progress through the whole game with plenty of opportunities to get or lose weapons and gear, and ultimately only the player skill decides how long that would take. 

In Active Matter, players can embark on dangerous PvPvE and PvE raids, clash with other operatives in dedicated PvP battles, explore ruined realities and gather valuable items. Raids feature a constant risk-versus-reward decision between pushing deeper into the zone in search of better loot and extracting early to make sure you do not lose what you have on you right now. Each expedition can lead to encounters with gravity-defying anomalies, mysterious SCP-style objects and creatures transformed by active matter, while death will send an operative back into another iteration of the fractured multiverse. 

Weapons and equipment are firmly rooted in real-world military technology. Players can build an extensive arsenal of assault rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, machine guns and other firearms, and customize them in detail with authentic sights, suppressors and other modifications. Drones, civilian and military vehicles will also prove useful while exploring the environments where gravity can suddenly turn the battlefield vertical and seemingly harmless objects can become deadly threats.

At launch, operatives can explore radically different and huge locations scattered across the fractured multiverse, ranging from the abandoned science facilities on a Soviet restricted island and Central African quarantine zone to the abandoned streets of a ruined American metropolis. Future updates will bring even more strange shards of reality, eerie monsters and iconic weapons.

The game also features a soundtrack spanning more than a hundred tracks from independent composers, invited artists and licensed musicians. Among its contributors is legendary composer Akira Yamaoka, whose music helped shape the atmosphere of some of gaming’s most iconic psychological horror experiences. Soundtrack is available for purchase on Steam (separately or as a part of the Deluxe Edition), and will be made available on major streaming platforms as well
.
More information about Active Matter is available at the official website.

The team has had a huge amount of fun bringing the world of Barbie into PowerWash Simulator 2 and putting our own powerwashing spin on it.”

Erika Winterholler, Head of Licensed Games, Mattel, said: “Barbie has always inspired fans to imagine endless possibilities, and we’re always looking for fresh, interactive ways to bring that spirit to life. Partnering with FuturLab to bring Barbie into PowerWash Simulator 2 is a fun new way for fans to experience the brand – proving there’s no limit to where Barbie’s next adventure can take her.”

Whether cleaning solo or teaming up with friends in co-op, players can take Barbie out of the box and get to work making her world sparkle.

Key Features:

• RuneScape at its core!: Embark on quests, level skills while exploring a beautiful, hand-crafted world. This all-new adventure blends high-fantasy and iconic RuneScape lore on an undiscovered continent. Battle legendary RuneScape creatures like Zogres, challenge Black Knights and the entirely new and fearsome Garou, all set to a sweeping soundtrack of reorchestrated RuneScape classics and hours of brand-new music.
• Grind Skills, Slay Dragons: Locate them, throw down the gauntlet, and carve a path to the Dragon Queen herself. Follow the trail of destruction and uncover the mysteries of the continent to learn not just how to confront the dragons, but how to overcome them. 
• Survival Through Sorcery: Summon a spectral axe to fell trees in an instant! Blink away from danger in a cloud of magic. Turn bones into… peaches? The Anima-rich landscape of Ashenfall offers a power unlike any other. Conjure a tornado of fish from a lake! Explode ore veins with a snap of your fingers! Journey through the vibrant regions of Ashenfall, discover why wild magic spills from the fractured lands and harness that power to survive!
• Community Driven, Player Centric: Like all RuneScape games, community is at the heart of RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Whether players are adventuring with friends or going it alone, every opinion matters, and it’s up to the community to help shape the future of our game.

The game has regularly been expanded through new content launches throughout its time in Early Access, including the release of new regions, quests, gameplay mechanics, enemies, items, and more, through its Fellhollow, Dowdun Reach, and Umbral Sands updates. The console editions of RuneScape: Dragonwilds feature every update previously made available during Early Access and will feature cross-play on all platforms.

Jesse America, Executive Producer, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, said: “After nearly a year and a half since we first gave players early access, we’re really excited to finally launch RuneScape: Dragonwilds across PC and console platforms. It’s the culmination of months of working towards bringing the game to millions of new players, and we’re only really getting started. We can’t wait to see how Early Access players react to the Scorned Wilderness content and the conclusion of the game’s first saga, and how newcomers experience their first steps on their journey across our world.”

Jon Bellamy, CEO, Jagex: The RuneScape Company, said: “Today is one of the biggest days in RuneScape’s history. For the first time ever, our world is playable on console, putting Dragonwilds in front of millions of new players who are discovering RuneScape for the very first time. It now stands as the third pillar of the RuneScape franchise, alongside our existing games, and shows just how far this world can grow. I’m thoroughly proud of what the team has achieved with this launch. But today is only the start of that journey, we’ve got big plans for what comes next!”

Jagex: the RuneScape company has already confirmed that the first post-launch major update for the game, titled “Luminance” will be released in December this year, with the 2027 roadmap to be revealed during October’s fan celebration, RuneFest.

Child of Chaos makes his playable debut alongside a community-designed Dark Lady Collector’s Edition Figure and server-wide anniversary events

15th September 2026 – Proxima Beta is celebrating the third anniversary of dark fantasy strategy RPG Dragonheir: Silent Gods with a major event beginning 15th September, putting its community at the heart of the celebrations through two of the game’s most anticipated characters.

Reverser of Order · Child of Chaos makes his debut as a brand-new SP Hero after being created with direct input from Dragonheir players. The community helped determine his character design, skills and settings through votes and comments, and will finally be able to recruit their creation through the anniversary-exclusive Reversal Summon banner.

The community’s influence also moves beyond the game with the official Dark Lady Collector’s Edition Figure. Players participated in decisions surrounding the figure’s pose, settings and other details, bringing Supreme Order · Dark Lady to life as a physical collectible.

Together, the two projects create a virtual-to-physical celebration of Dragonheir’s relationship with its players: one community-created character coming to life inside the game, and another stepping beyond it.

ORDER OR CHAOS? PLAYERS CHOOSE THEIR SIDE

From 15th September, the rivalry between Child of Chaos and Dark Lady will form the foundation of a server-wide anniversary confrontation.

Players can take the Fated Path Test and align themselves with one of two opposing factions: the Order of Reversal, represented by Child of Chaos, or the Nightsworn Vanguard, represented by Dark Lady.

During Nightveil Standoff, players earn Rift Stardust for their faction across designated game modes, with the winning side receiving additional rewards. Coronation of Night will also allow players to support heroes within their faction, with the Champion and Top 3 ranked heroes receiving custom appearances.

CHILD OF CHAOS MAKES HIS DEBUT

The community-created Reverser of Order · Child of Chaos joins Dragonheir on 15th September as a new Light-element SP Hero.

Designed for flexible team building, Child of Chaos can be treated as any element and is immune to buffs, debuffs and crowd control. On the battlefield, he can periodically remove an allied debuff or enemy buff, restoring health to allies following a successful removal.

Child of Chaos will be available through the limited-time Reversal Summon banner, with a guaranteed unlock after 300 pulls. His exclusive Dragonbone Catalyst Artifact will also be available through the Artifact Shop during the event.

THIRD ANNIVERSARY EVENTS AND REWARDS

A series of anniversary activities will run throughout September and into October.

Born of Chaos begins on 15th September, bringing daily check-in rewards, story quests, Reversal Summon and the arrival of Child of Chaos.

Eve of the Rift also begins on 15th September, combining the server-wide faction confrontation with a 14-day Autumn’s Bounty check-in campaign offering rewards including a Wyrmarrow Mining Warrant, the Three Ears Contract, Legendary Hero Lossenia, the Legendary Hero skin ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and more.

The celebrations kick off earlier with the Anniversary Prologue H5, running in three phases from 2nd September to 2nd October: Night of the Rift, First Glimpse of Fate (where players meet one of 18 Fate Heroes and determine their faction), and Gift of Fate — an eight-tier reward pool that includes the Dark Lady Collector’s Edition Figure at the top tier. 

From 19th September, Dragon Crown Homage gives players another opportunity to obtain the Dark Lady Collector’s Edition Figure as a rare physical reward, with 300 total draws granting a choice between the figure and a Legendary Hero Option Chest.

Dedicated benefits will also welcome returning players back to Dragonheir, while Journey Together enables veteran players to form Bonds with new and returning Celebration Server players and earn shared rewards.

Dragonheir: Silent Gods’ third anniversary celebrations begin in full on 15th September, with individual activities continuing into October.
