Embark on your Cubic Odyssey in 2025

Mine, Build, Explore, and Save the Galaxy – One Planet at a Time

Gaijin Entertainment and Atypical Games are happy to announce Cubic Odyssey, an open-world adventure where a player explores vibrant planets, crafts tools, builds vehicles, takes on diverse quests, and fights the Red Darkness as the epic story of saving the galaxy unfolds before them. The game will be available for purchase on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025. Gaijin Entertainment is the exclusive publisher of Cubic Odyssey on all platforms.

“We’re happy to support the creativity of indie game developers and were thrilled by the scope and ambition of Cubic Odyssey”, – comments Anton Yudintsev, founder of Gaijin Entertainment.

Cubic Odyssey starts right after a crash landing on the surface of a distant planet. A player mines resources, refines materials, and builds everything from tools and outposts to vehicles and starships that give access to free exploration of the galaxy. Every star seen in the sky or in space is the light of a star system. Each star is orbited by planets filled with life, with shifting day-night cycles, bustling NPC cities, pirate outposts, and dangerous ruins waiting to be discovered. The ultimate goal here is to stop the Red Darkness, a spreading galactic infection that mutates wildlife, consumes planets, and threatens all living beings.

“We intend to build a boundless open world where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape”, – says Andrei Lopata, CEO of Bucharest-based Atypical Games.

The game features seamless ground, air and space traversal, with a brief slice of this experience shown in an announcement trailer. Experience warp jumps between star systems, cruise at blazing fast speed between planets, use the planetary speeders to travel on planets, and explore the underground caves on foot. Players will also be able to join forces with others in an optional co-op mode to take down massive enemies, initiate orbital laser strikes, or build cooperative megastructures.

More information on the Cubic Odyssey will be published at the official website, Steam page and social media, so stay tuned for the news.

Three different strike modes present separate challenges, encouraging players to think on their feet.

Check out the exclusive GLUM demo during Steam Next Fest

Aalborg, Denmark, January 15, 2025: CinderCat Games is bringing its own brand of grumpy misfit mayhem to Steam Next Fest in February, with an exclusive new demo of their upcoming Early Access title GLUM!

Releasing in Early Access for PC later this year, GLUM stars the titular antisocial goblin, who finds himself tasked with a quest well above his minion paygrade after his boss is kidnapped. And so, with his magical boot and a serious chip on his shoulder, Glum embarks on a journey of magical ass-kickery and whimsical violence.

This upcoming Steam Next Fest will take place from February 24 – March 3, and will feature a Steam Next Fest-exclusive demo for its duration. But be warned, the demo will no longer be available following the end of Steam Next Fest, so be sure to act fast!

This exclusive demo will allow players to explore a sandbox level, in which they’ll be able to try out two unique magic abilities: Bootzooka & Foot Fetch, all while engaging in GLUM’s specific brand of high-paced, kick-ass physics combat. 

And it’s not all bloody combat either! While exploring the comedic world of GLUM, players will encounter numerous secrets hidden within – such as garden gnomes to destroy and dirty magazines to collect!

About GLUM

  • Kick first, ask questions never: Use well-timed kicks and quick movements to launch enemies into walls, traps, and each other in chaotic physics-based combat. Need more firepower? Charge up your boot to cast spells and punt those enemies straight to boot camp. To Glum – everything’s a weapon if you just kick it hard enough.
  • Journey into the wacky realm of Damoros: Follow the trail of your kidnapped boss through a world where rival overlords rule with ridiculousness, chaos is just another Tuesday, and one man’s catastrophe is another man’s comedy.
  • Embrace whimsical violence: Combine kicks, spells, and environmental chaos for ever more creative destruction. As Glum, you’ll unlock new magical powers for your boot, proving that even the least qualified anti-hero of Damoros can kick his way to notoriety in this darkly comedic misadventure.

GLUM will be available for PC in Early Access later this year, and will be available in Steam Next Fest from February 24 – March 3

  • HEADROTTEN BOSSES: Cut from the Tree of Whispers, the Stolen Heads have mutated into ghastly abominations, desperate to become whole and human again. New Headrotten Bosses and enemies await as you follow the Whispers of the Dead. By completing the new endgame Headhunts, players can hunt down Headrotten and claim their heads in exchange for Occult Gems. If you’re lucky, you might find a “Headed” Headrotten Boss, a rare boss variant that grants even more valuable rewards. 
  • ARMORY: The long-awaited new armory feature allows players to quickly save and swap complete character loadouts. Save and overwrite different builds for your heroes as you please; all Gear, Skill Points, and Paragon Points will be automatically applied when swapping. 
  • SEASONAL REWARDS: Season of Witchcraft adds additional Uniques and Legendaries to the loot pool. Vessel of Hatred players can also experience three new Runes and many updates to existing Runes. Those who seek more drops can ascend tiers of the Coven’s Favor, earn rewards like a Raven Pet via the Season Journey, or progress through the Battle Pass.

Escape a Nightmarish Living Labyrinth in the Surrealist Mystical World of Moroi, Coming to PC Early 2025

Ghastly visions and grim humor bolster bloodstained hack-and-slash action

LOS ANGELES (Jan. 14) – Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment (Dicefolk, Monster Train) and developer Violet Saint today announced Moroi, a dark fantasy hack-and-slash adventure inspired by Romanian folklore, heavy metal and the brilliant works of David Lynch, will beckon you into a peculiar, puzzling world steeped in dark comedy and unsettling horror when it launches on PC in Early 2025 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2518410/Moroi/.

Indulge in eternal torment with Moroi’s reveal trailer

Descend into the shadow-choked depths of Moroi’s Cosmic Engine, a maddening labyrinth of twisting corridors and forgotten horrors. Plagued by amnesia, your name, past and sins are beyond memory, shrouded in darkness. As you claw your way through this realm of torment, you face grotesque inhabitants in a land where dark-as-night humor is the only silver lining. Cling to your sanity in an otherwise deteriorating existence styled as grimdark fantasy, a subgenre of fiction distinguished by bleak, dystopian settings and scenarios.

Wage war against Moroi’s battalions of mages, guards and the cursed undead while wielding a gruesome arsenal of unorthodox weaponry. Tear through the flesh of your foes with the jagged teeth of a hellish duck, or unleash a storm of projectiles with the aid of a flying brain. Around every corner lies an unexpected discovery or new instrument of death.

The labyrinth’s horrors extend beyond the bloody thrill of combat, conjuring otherworldly environments, eccentric acquaintances and puzzles calling for unconventional approaches. Moroi’s trials forgo mere riddles and sliding blocks; embrace macabre solutions like drinking blood, forcing regurgitation or scavenging through innards to forge deeper into the Cosmic Engine. Each puzzle has its own clever solution, often awarding triumph in exchange for suffering. Engage with the Cosmic’s bizarre residents to uncover the secrets of their twisted world, savoring moments of dark humor to lighten the unrelenting dread.

Escape is your only hope, the key to uncovering the grim truths that bind you. But tread carefully – the choices you make will carve your path toward one of multiple endings, shaping a fate that may prove more harrowing than the Cosmic Engine itself. 

Stay up to date on the macabre reality of Moroi by following Good Shepherd Entertainment on Bluesky @GoodShepherd.Games
