Sequel to acclaimed VR espionage experience adds more depth, immersion and innovation

Bude, United Kingdom – May 27th, 2025 – Triangular Pixels are thrilled to announce that Unseen Diplomacy 2: Spy Harder, the follow up to their acclaimed espionage VR experience, is coming to Meta Quest VR and Steam VR in 2025. Building on the innovative foundation of the original, Unseen Diplomacy 2 will feature a full campaign, expanded gameplay mechanics, deeper strategy, and immersive comic book styling.

In Unseen Diplomacy 2, players take on the role of a spymaster, leading their own elite agency while also getting their hands dirty out in the field in a 1990s inspired retro-futuristic setting with analog technology. Sneak around enemy bases to steal valuable intel and resources, sabotage their plans, and then successfully escape without being noticed. To fully immerse themselves into this role, players will physically crawl, roll under lasers, and dodge side to side while utilizing new gadgets, like the wire clippers, and wearing disguises to dupe the enemy. Those who prefer a less quiet approach can also utilize blow darts. To ensure every mission and campaign feels fresh, Triangular Pixels uses a new system that not only procedurally generates levels, but also tailors the experience based on the space you have and the actions you take.

Beyond the thrilling action, the spymaster’s job is to also manage the agency, adding a strategic layer to the game. Players recruit agents, manage resources, and deploy operatives on high-stakes missions to thwart rogue corporations, mad scientists and secret organizations threatening global stability. Every mission will bring you closer to uncovering the truth, and depending on the choices the players make, the road to success varies from playthrough to playthrough.

“We’ve listened to our community and taken everything they loved about Unseen Diplomacy, amped it up and refined it”, said Katie Goode at Triangular Pixels. “Unseen Diplomacy 2 is bigger, smarter, and more immersive, designed to push the limits of VR espionage action. It’s not just a sequel – it’s a full evolution of the experience and we can’t wait for players to get their hands on it!”

Key features:

• High-stakes operations: utilize stealth, strategy, and quick thinking to steal assets, gather evidence, sabotage obstacles that will slice, dice, zap, crush, burn or call the guards, and escape unseen
• Dynamic and replayable missions: every playthrough is unique, with missions providing fresh challenges. You can play through the Campaign or hop into Quick Play to share your results with friends and do your daily exercise 
• New  gameplay mechanics: in addition to the locomotion-based stealth, the game features clipping and rerouting wires, hacking computer terminals, enemy robots, disguises, photography, and shooting
• Strategic spymaster gameplay: manage your agency, recruit agents, and deploy them on missions to gather intel and outmaneuver enemy counterspies
• The Director Graph System: developed by Triangular Pixels, this system allows for generating dynamic, procedural levels that adapt to the play area, hardware, difficulty settings and gameplay preferences, as well as making the process of creating content much easier and allowing level designers to hand craft the flow of levels
• Mixed reality integration: Meta Quest 3 players will be able to experience the spy world in their living space, blending the virtual with the real world.
• Accessibility: The game comes with new support for those with tremors, one handed play, difficulty control and also supports those needing standing and seated play.

Solo progression, multiplayer modes, six unique maps, original in-game music, loads of challenges, endless trick combos, and tons of customization options to unlock – the game will have you covered for a long time.

PARIS – May 27, 2025 – Freshly created indie-publisher Radical Theory has recently partnered with ML MEDIA and Shine Group for the release of Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game. After a successful 1-year Steam Early Access period and nearly 200,000 copies sold, the game created by solo-dev Michel Losch will launch into 1.0 on June 17, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. Let’s jump into its action-packed Official Gameplay Trailer showcasing pretty much everything you should expect from this game. Disclaimer: this video includes pigeons.

Easy To Pick Up, Instant Fun, Yet Hard To Master Like A Pro

Parkour & Freerunning are not quite the same. While one focusses more on getting from A to B in the fastest way possible, the other is all about style, flow, and tricking-madness. Rooftops and Alleys merges both to create an exciting and engaging gameplay experience for players in solo and multiplayer! The game is easy to pick up, but hard to master. Whether you throw yourself into time trials or trick challenges, you will quickly improve your skill level to perform the craziest lines in the six different maps available at launch. Each map has its unique style, environment, and set of challenges, making sure to offer a fun and engaging playground for the action every time.

With the game’s intuitive controls, you have loads of tricks & moves at your disposal, not to mention all the endless combo possibilities ahead of you. By performing trick combos, you can raise your adrenaline meter, which unlocks speed boost for you at will, or stall your combo meter going down, helping you get to those super high scores!

Progression, Customization & Pigeon

By completing challenges you earn feathers, which unlock over 100 different customization items for you and your pigeon with the built-in progression system. Yes, you can totally be a pigeon in the game – think of it as your freecam, session marker, pin dropper, and most importantly… your little friend! In each map, you can unlock your pigeon by exploring around and finding it. Once you do so, you can switch to the pigeon at any time, fly around, find new challenges, and totally go where you’re not supposed to…

Be Lazy, Chill, Make Photos or Compete In Multiplayer

Parkour is also fun with friends. Play online, hangout in freeroam multiplayer, or engage in intense games of TAG, Capture The Flag, or Tricks Battle. And when you’re tired, just checkout the super cool photo mode, which has the craziest freedom of all, with its highlight feature: The Doll-Mode, and much, much more!

Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game releases June 17, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch and PC.

About the Game

Rooftops & Alleys is more than just a game about Parkour & Freerunning. It’s the adrenaline rush of landing an impossible trick combo, defying gravity, and feeling like you’re flying… until you crash face-first into a dark alley 30 meters below.

In solo or with your friends, explore massive parkour-ready maps in total freedom. Reach every corner of your playground to uncover hidden spots — time trials, trick challenges, and more! In multiplayer, dive into game modes like TAG, Capture the Flag, Trick Battles, or simply freeroam with your friends!

Key Features:

• Explore huge, unique, vertical parkour environments
• Discover, learn, and master every trick, move, and their endless combo possibilities
• Call on your pigeon to discover new areas, fast travel, and plan your routes
• Tons of challenges and game modes — solo or with friends (TAG, Capture the Flag, Trick Battles, and more)
• Unlock over 100 customization options for yourself and your pigeon

Pinball meets tower defense in Ragnarok Studios’ genre-defining debut, coming to PC in 2025

Oslo, Norway – 27th May, 2025 – Indie developer Ragnarok Studios and boutique publisher Mad Data Games are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of the teaser demo for Bumper Blitz TD, a genre-defying mashup of classic tower defense and gravity-based pinball mechanics. The demo will be available for free on Steam on May 26th, just in time for Steam Next Fest this June.

Bumper Blitz TD reimagines the tower defense formula, blending fast-paced strategy, physics-driven gameplay, and explosive pinball-style action. Players must place towers, harness gravity, and unleash bumpers to repel waves of alien invaders across a series of chaotic, ever-changing battlefields.

“It all started during a game jam with a crazy idea: what if tower defense had bumpers?” said Fredrik Kaupang, CEO and Lead Developer at Ragnarok Studios. “That spark turned into something wild and fun, and the feedback so far has been amazing.”

In the demo, players will get a first taste of:

• Innovative pinball-meets-strategy mechanics
• Varied enemy waves and dynamic level design
• Challenging gameplay modes, including Elite Mode
• A sneak peek at the unique upgrade system and tower combos coming in the full game

Bumper Blitz TD is slated for full release on PC (Steam) in Q3 2025. In the meantime, the team is actively engaging with players through its Discord server and welcomes feedback, questions, and streaming collaborations.

With almost 2.5 million sign ups for tomorrow’s beta, Rematch developer Sloclap unveils new partnerships for launch and a behind-the-scenes video with official Rematch ambassador Ronaldinho 

PARIS (May 27, 2025) – The final open beta for Sloclap’s online football action game Rematch is upon us, and to mark the occasion, Sloclap revealed its first pro partnerships for the game today. Joining the starting lineup on June 19 are Marc Ter Stegen, Goalkeeper and Captain of Barcelona Football Club and Goalkeeper of Germany’s national team; Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United and the English national team; and legendary Brazilian football player Ronaldo “Ronaldinho” de Assis Moreira. 

After achieving near 150,000 concurrent players on the PC-only beta last month and a total of 2.8 million matches, Rematch is charging toward its official June 19 launch with its last open beta tomorrow, May 28, beginning at 2pm CEST/1pm BST/5am PDT for 72 hours. The beta is free and open to players via PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S (www.playrematch.com). 

Sloclap also released a brand-new, behind-the-scenes video unveiling Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho as the game’s ambassador today. In the video, Ronaldinho shares thoughts drawn from his legendary career, offering feedback on the game — especially its animations — and reacting to his in-game likeness. His joga bonito style and joyful take on football were major inspirations for the team and corresponded perfectly to the values of positive sportsmanship the game aims to convey. Seeing him engage with their work was a special experience for everyone at the studio.

Teamwork, strategy and skill are at the core of Rematch. Set against a variety of virtual backdrops, Rematch brings forth the core essence of what it means to play football from the perspective of the player on the field. 

The gameplay is designed for nonstop competitive play – there are no fouls, offsides or VAR. Control one player on the field for an intense showdown of 5v5, or choose from a variety of quickplay modes, evolving tactics and decisions to fit the moment-to-moment needs of the match. 

Just like the beautiful game in real life, precision is everything. 

This week’s open beta features all main game modes for Rematch: Quick play, 3v3, 4v4, 5v5 + 5v5 ranked, as well as most key features for tutorials, training sessions, full cosmetics and customizations. Players are eligible to jump in anytime throughout the beta’s 72-hour window, join the ranked & quick-play matchmaking as well as create custom lobbies for matches with friends. Tomorrow, the beta will be available on PC, Xbox and PlayStation platforms. The pro players announced today will not be in this week’s beta but will be playable at launch with more real-world football stars arriving post-launch. 

Fans wishing to be part of the starting lineup are able to preorder any one, or all, of the available editions: Standard, Elite and Pro Edition here.

Marvelous Europe today shared the “Customization” video, part of a series of gameplay system introductions for their upcoming dark sci-fi action game, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, ahead of its release for Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam on September 5, 2025. 

This latest video showcases the highly customizable nature of the Arsenal, featuring five armor slots and six weapon slots filled with an array of ranged, melee, and explosive options to suit players’ various battle strategies. Each individual piece of equipment has its own unique stats, which combined with the number of weapon and armor types to choose from allows Outers, the altered humans who can don Arsenals, to customize their Arsenal to their combat style and always have gear to chase. Outers can acquire gear through multiple avenues, including purchasing it from in-game vendors, finding hidden boxes of equipment in the world, defeating enemies, and using data to craft gear at their home base. The more gear Outers collect, the more build options and strategies they’ll have at their disposal when picking loadouts for the battlefield.

Additionally, anyone looking to enhance their enjoyment of the original DAEMON X MACHINA while they wait for Titanic Scion can currently find a “complete” edition of the DLC, which contains 57 available add-ons into one new, massive bundle, for sale on Steam. Normally available for $41.21, already a savings of 30% off the purchase price of individual items, you can save an additional 40% through May 30.

Created and produced by Kenichiro Tsukuda and featuring stunning mechanical designs from Shoji Kawamori, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion takes the franchise in a dramatic new direction. Join the Reclaimers in their fight against the Axiom. Humanity’s battle for liberation begins now!

KEY FEATURES

• A Titanic Evolution – Daemon X Machina’s high-octane armored action debuts on a new generation of platforms, bringing with it an epic sci-fi adventure, gameplay that’s accessible to newcomers, and an expanded scope sure to satisfy returning fans.
• Build a Better You – Now a nimble suit of armor, each Arsenal can be fully customized both in design and in loadout, with the ability to craft or salvage new elements.
• Together You Can Make a Difference – Cooperative and asynchronous multiplayer means players never truly fight alone. Team up with friends online to tackle the epic story and battles together.
• Beautiful and Deadly – Explore an alien planet in an Arsenal as players battle against mechanical and organic enemies. Trek through the vast open world on foot, fly through the skies, or when all else fails, gallop on horseback across plains, swamps, mountains, and more.

Darkly hilarious 2D action-adventure narrative game gets its first taste of chaos on PC.

Barcelona, Spain – 27th May 2025. SelectaPlay and the talented (and slightly unhinged minds) at Hungry Pixel are delighted (and mildly concerned) to unleash the free PC demo of NetherWorld, the twisted, liquor-drenched, worm-squirming, unapologetically degenerate 2D action-adventure narrative game. Now available on Steam for anyone brave or reckless enough to give it a spin!

Step into the tentacles of Medoo, the world’s saddest jellyfish, freshly dumped and fully committed to self-destruction via vodka and poor life choices. Plunge into a sleazy fever dream of grotesque characters, shady deals, and nightmarish nightlife as you explore a world where dignity goes to die and takes a few shots on the way.

Warning: This demo contains scenes of surreal depravity, questionable fashion, and emotional damage (mostly Medoo’s, maybe yours too). But hey, you might just find a cool hat.

NetherWorld is set to launch digitally on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch later in 2025. A special physical edition for Nintendo Switch is also coming, because even the most degenerate adventures deserve shelf space. Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch boxed edition are open now. Wishlist us on Steam or Medoo might cry. Again.

NetherWorld Features:

• A Twisted Story – Stumble through a world of coke-fueled mages, entrepreneurial prostitutes, deranged mobsters, sociopathic kids, and sleazy old perverts, all of whom claim they can help you put your shattered life back together. (Spoiler: they absolutely won’t.)
• Insane Minigames – Need cash or questionable rewards? Test your skills in drunken brawls, reckless flings, trigger-happy shootouts, and even piloting a bionic tick named Joe through grimy roguelike dungeons. Bonus: Complete certain quests and unlock stylish hats, masks, weapons, and more!
• Bonkers Boss Fights – Time to throw down! Face grotesque, nightmarish bosses with an arsenal of guns, melee weapons, and environmental hazards, or if you’re feeling especially masochistic, go in completely unarmed. (Good luck with that.)
