Winter Crew Studios’ JRPG-inspired adventure launches 1.0 with new regions, bosses and an ending to Hira’s story

Manila, Philippines, August 5th 2026 – Independent developer Winter Crew Studios today announced that Fallen Tear: The Ascension, its hand-drawn story-driven Metroidvania, will launch in 1.0 on Steam on September 16th 2026 for $24.99 / €24.99 / £21.99, with a 10% launch discount will be available for 14 days after the release. This full launch concludes the Early Access period that kicked off in March 2026, which has already earned a “Very Positive” rating from players.

Set in the high-fantasy world of Raoah, Fallen Tear: The Ascension follows Hira, a mysterious child fated to stand against ancient gods, through a Metroidvania built around the Fated Bonds system – allies with distinct combat and traversal abilities that reshape how players fight and explore. The game mixes traditional hand-drawn animation and full voice acting with fast, skill-based combat and JRPG-inspired storytelling.

Fallen Tear’s Early Access version launched with 10 interconnected regions, 6 main bosses (and 3 optional bosses), 10 Fated Bonds contained within the game’s opening act. The full launch roughly doubles the game’s content: 10 additional major regions with interconnected areas, 5 new main bosses and 19 new optional side bosses and 11 new Fated Bonds, each with their own abilities and story moments. Hira’s progression expands with 3 additional Ascensions, 6 new Hunter Skills, 4 new Elemental Imbuements and 16 new Mastery Skills spanning Tier III and Tier IV – with full combat, progression and exploration systems available at launch. Altogether, the 1.0 release offers 35 to 40 hours of story content, and more than 80 hours for players chasing full completion!

“Early Access let us build Fallen Tear: The Ascension alongside the community that plays it, and their feedback shaped everything from combat balance to how the Fated Bonds feel in a fight,” said Stephen Manalastas, Creative Director at Winter Crew Studios. “On September 16th the story finally comes together, with new regions, new bonds and an ending we’ve been building toward since we started this project.”

Key Features:

• Fated Bonds – Forge bonds with allies across Raoah, each granting unique combat and traversal abilities that change how you fight and explore.
• Hand-Drawn World – Explore lush forests, lost cities and forgotten ruins rendered in traditional hand-drawn animation with full voice acting.
• Skill-Based Combat – Slash, parry and dodge through the Ascension and Hunter skill trees and switch tactics mid-fight against bosses that keep you guessing.
• Multiple Endings – Shape Hira’s fate through the bonds you form and the choices you make on the way to one of several possible endings.
• The Temple of Oras – Customize a personal hub high above Raoah and fill it with allies met throughout the journey.

Fallen Tear: The Ascension launches on Steam on September 16th, 2026, featuring full audio in English and text localization support for English, German, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese; with further languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Turkish, Korean, and Japanese) arriving after launch.

Reconstruct the final moments of the dead, uncover a conspiracy decades in the making and decide the fate of Dark Tide City in the atmospheric Chinese cyber-noir detective RPG, available now on Steam.

China – August 5th, 2026. Every city has its secrets. Dark Tide City has buried theirs for decades. Today, developer Shadowlight and publisher Phoenix Games invite players into the rain-soaked streets of Dark Tide City as Kill the Shadow launches on PC via Steam. Available now for £14.99 / $16.99 / €16.99 with a limited-time 10% launch discount, the atmospheric detective RPG blends gripping investigations, meaningful player choice, RPG progression and a unique crime-scene reconstruction mechanic that allows players to witness the past exactly as it happened.

Launching today alongside a brand-new gameplay trailer, Kill the Shadow immerses players in a city haunted by forgotten memories, buried conspiracies and the consequences of long-forgotten choices, where every investigation uncovers another piece of a truth someone is desperate to keep hidden.

Players assume the role of Lucas, a former detective carrying an impossible burden. Bound to the mysterious Shadow fused to his back, he alone possesses the supernatural ability to reconstruct the final moments of the dead. Rather than changing history, the Shadow allows Lucas to observe crime scenes exactly as they unfolded, revealing hidden evidence, exposing deception and piecing together a conspiracy that has cast its shadow over Dark Tide City for more than a decade.

Watch the Kill the Shadow Launch Trailer below

Every investigation begins with a single victim. What starts as the mysterious death of Captain Theo’s loyal companion soon unravels into a web of corruption, betrayal and long-buried secrets. From the disappearance of Master Reed during a crowded temple festival to the forgotten tragedies hidden beneath Shipwreck Wharf, every case draws Lucas deeper into the city’s fractured past, where justice is rarely black and white.

How the story unfolds is entirely in the player’s hands. Develop Lucas through a flexible RPG progression system, relying on deduction, persuasion, charisma or brute force to overcome obstacles, interrogate suspects and uncover vital clues. Every conversation, every investigation and every moral decision shapes the people around you and ultimately determines the fate of Dark Tide City through multiple possible endings.

Bringing its haunting world to life, Kill the Shadow combines richly detailed 3D environments with beautifully animated 2D pixel-art characters to create a distinctive visual identity inspired by Chinese cyber-noir. Explore abandoned factories, flood-ravaged docklands, bustling temple districts and towering walled cities, each concealing new mysteries, unforgettable characters and stories waiting to be uncovered.

Key Features

• Investigate a City Full of Secrets: Solve interconnected murder cases while uncovering the hidden truth behind Dark Tide City’s mysterious past.
• Reconstruct Crime Scenes: Harness the power of the Shadow to witness the final moments of the deceased exactly as they happened, revealing clues invisible to everyone else.
• Become the Detective You Want to Be: Shape Lucas through RPG progression, using deduction, persuasion, charm or force to solve every investigation your own way.
• Meaningful Choices & Multiple Endings: Judge, forgive or condemn those responsible as your decisions shape the future of the city and the lives of its citizens.
• A Stunning Chinese Cyber-Noir World: Experience a striking blend of richly detailed 3D environments and expressive 2D pixel-art characters.
• Meet an Unforgettable Cast: Discover the stories, motivations and personal tragedies of Dark Tide City’s diverse citizens, each hiding secrets of their own.

The truth refuses to stay buried. Now it’s your turn to uncover it.

Kill the Shadow is available now on PC via Steam for £14.99 / $16.99 / €16.99 with a limited-time 10% launch discount

Watch the brand-new launch trailer today, begin your investigation and uncover the secrets hidden within Dark Tide City.

The fan-favorite event returns with two explosive new Acts, each featuring a headlining artist, challenges, earnable discounts, and rewards, while also bringing back content from four previous Metal Fest collaborations.

Act 1 kicks off with metal powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch, running from August 4 through August 24. After a one-week intermission, the second headliner for Act 2 will be revealed and take the stage on September 1.Metal Fest goes beyond music including two all-new premium tanks inspired by Five Finger Death Punch, five exclusive 2D Commanders featuring every band member, a 3D Commander Knucklehead, exclusive cosmetics, and limited-time challenges enter the arena.

Meet the FFDP Knucklehead Tank, a durable frontline Heavy built with strong armor and a devastatingly powerful burst-fire weapon. Inspired by the band’s signature style, it features the iconic Knucklehead mascot, towering brass knuckles atop the turret, and battle-worn artwork.

Selecting the Knucklehead plays Five Finger Death Punch’s latest No. 1 hit, Eye of the Storm, the band’s 18th chart-topper on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The track is the lead single from the new album Legacy, out now digitally here, with CD, vinyl, and cassette editions arriving September 18.

The FFDP Iron Fist Tank Destroyer embraces Five Finger Death Punch’s darker side with a battle-worn steel finish, red handprints, claw-mark graphics, and the iconic FFDP brass knuckle cresting its turret. A battery of five oversized missiles mounted across the rear completes its menacing, relentless look. The band’s 2017 hit Trouble will be playing while this beast awaits in the Garage.

Taking command of the battlefield is Knucklehead, Five Finger Death Punch’s legendary mascot, brought to life as a fully voiced 3D Commander by lead singer Ivan Moody.

“We’re celebrating 20 years as a band, Legacy is finally out in the world, and now fans get to experience Five Finger Death Punch in World of Tanks Modern Armor. That’s a perfect storm,” said Moody. “We had a blast creating this with the team, and there are plenty of Easter eggs and surprises waiting to be found. Go crank the music and play the game!”

Metal Fest also brings back “Rush the Stage” mode, an enhanced encore of 2025’s Vanguard-event mode experience. Fast-paced 7v7 battles with respawns unfold on a Metal Fest-themed Ghost Town map complete with concert stages, dazzling lights, and festival-inspired scenery. This year’s mode introduces several gameplay refinements, including stationary Taco Trucks that can be destroyed for bonus medals.
