BORDEAUX, France – May 6, 2026 – Farever, the online multiplayer action RPG set in a vast fantasy open world from Dune: Spice Wars, Wartales, and Northgard developer Shiro Games, is now available in Early Access on PC via Steam.

Heed the call of adventure and journey across Siagarta, either solo or with a group of fellow adventurers in online co-op.

Traverse the world with complete freedom: climb towering cliffs, glide across valleys and canyons, and dive into underground and underwater caverns. Every corner of this vibrant world rewards exploration with secrets, gear, and evolving content.

Choose from one of four starting classes (with more planned for 1.0), each offering a different approach to combat roles such as damage, support, or survivability. Build your playstyle through a wide range of weapons, abilities, and talents. In Farever, gear plays a central role in progression.

Team up with friends to take on powerful enemies and challenging bosses that reward coordination and mastery.

Whether solo or in a group, Farever dynamically scales its activities to match party size, ensuring a balanced and engaging experience for all players. Between expeditions, return to town to craft equipment, upgrade your gear, or gather rare resources to create potions and consumables that will support you and your allies in battle

Test Your Skills by Re-Fighting Major Bosses and Earn Medals to Unlock Powerful Arcana Spells

Milton Keynes, UK, May 5, 2026 – Today, developer MercuryStream and publisher 505 Games are pleased to share the third episode of their weekly feature video series dedicated to their upcoming dark fantasy action-adventure game Blades of Fire – Version 2.0, launching on Steam PC on May 14. Following Episode 1 – Photomode and Episode 2 – Transmutation, this new episode spotlights two new systems coming withVersion 2.0 which introduce new ways for players to dominate the battlefield: Anvil Trials and Arcana. 

Watch the third episode of the Blades of FireFeature Video Series – Anvil Trials & Arcana: YouTube 

With the Anvil Trials, players can re-fight major bosses in dedicated arenas after defeating them in the main story. Once a boss is defeated, a special anvil appears; activating it teleports players to an arena where the boss is revived for another encounter. At the start of each trial, players’ health potions are fully restored. Weapons remain in the condition they had on entry, but any damage taken during the fight is not permanent — both potions and weapons revert to their previous state when players exit, regardless of success. Each boss introduces additional mechanics, and each fight is timed, allowing players to earn up to three medals based on completion time. 

Players can then use the medals granted during the Anvil Trials to unlock Arcana, ancient spells cast by Adso that grant passive buffs to weapons: with higher-tier medals unlocking stronger Arcana. To apply an Arcana, players will need to speak with Adso; each Arcana requires a minimum weapon reputation and consumes one repair star. Players can have only one Arcana active per weapon at a time, but they can replace it freely as long as stars remain. Different Arcana reward aggressive play, survivability, or weapon efficiency, letting players tailor their builds to their preferred combat style. 

The Anvil Trials will offer structured, repeatable boss challenges, while the Arcana will turn those victories into meaningful upgrades players can use on their in-game journey.  

Download the Blades of Fire demo, available now on Steam, and experience the new  features included in Version 2.0 ahead of its official launch. 

Blades of Fire is coming to currently available on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Blades of Fire – Version 2.0 will be available on Steam on May 14. 

Starting May 14, the Version 2.0 upgrade will also be available as a free update on all other platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Epic Games Store (PC).

Hunt Colossal Monsters as a Human – Then Become the Beast and Raze Cities to Rubble via Groundbreaking SuperDestruction Technology 

GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA – MAY 6, 2026 – Veteran developer Grove Street Games, the technical force behind ARK: Survival Ascended and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, today announced its first new IP in over a decade: BeastLink. A large-scale multiplayer destruction sandbox, BeastLink combines tactical human-led missions and vehicular combat with the city-destroying, raw power of colossal Kaiju. BeastLink is monster-sized mayhem on an unprecedented scale coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam PC.

BeastLink launches into early access on console and PC this summer, with the first of several upcoming closed beta weekends kicking off Friday, May 8th. Players can sign up now for the closed Playtest on Steam.
 
Built in Unreal Engine 5, the core of BeastLink is Grove Street’s proprietary SuperDestruction system that pushes environmental wreckage to a new level. This fully networked, physics based system lets every player reshape the map as both human or Kaiju. With over 250,000 destructible objects and tens of millions of individual pieces, players can strategically reshape entire city blocks, turning urban environments into tactical rubble. 
 
“Our team has a long history of making great games while tackling complex technical challenges, but at its core, BeastLink stems from one goal: to create the ultimate Kaiju experience,” said Thomas Williamson, CEO of Grove Street Games. “Community is an integral part of building that, beta testing gives players the opportunity to jump in early and help us shape what a modern Kaiju game should be.”
 
Founded in 2007, Grove Street Games has contributed to some of the industry’s most recognizable franchises, with credits spanning titles like Grand Theft Auto, ARK: Survival Ascended, Bully Anniversary Edition, and Max Payne. Across dozens of releases on console, PC, and mobile, the studio’s work has reached more than 100 million players worldwide.
 
BeastLink drops players into massive, urban environments under siege by a variety of Kaiju. Players will navigate collapsing cityscapes on foot or choose from a variety of vehicles. They battle both human forces and roaming monsters to gather resources, which fuel an experimental procedure to Link with sleeping Kaiju. Once the BeastLink is established, the perspective shifts from tactical survival to city-shaking power as players tear through buildings and engage in massive, real-time monster brawls.
 
Each Kaiju offers a distinct playstyle, including the four launch creatures: Horned Lizard, Bull Shark, Vampire Bat, and Mandrill. Whether you prefer brute force, aerial attacks, or speed-based combat, every match changes how you approach both combat and movement across the city.

Foxtel Media launches immersive sports gaming platform to scale fan engagement

Sydney – 6 May 2026: AFL, Cricket Australia and Supercars have launched new immersive gaming experiences on Roblox in the newly unveiled Kayo SPORTS Stadium – a joint venture between Foxtel Media and Livewire, the global leader in gaming marketing, developed by Gamefam.

In a first of its kind initiative, Kayo SPORTS Stadium is the first experience on the platform to see three major codes sign on to create a family-friendly virtual environment. Passionate fans can actively engage with their favourite sports through immersive experiences exclusive to Roblox.

Kayo SPORTS Stadium introduces Australian sport to the Roblox audience, expanding the fan experience into a virtual world that complements live broadcasts. Each code will debut with their own sports zones with two mini-games at launch, creating captivating gaming experiences for fans craving action beyond the whistle:

• AFL: Emulate heroes by taking a specky or slotting a goal from 50 metres
• Cricket: Test skills in a high-intensity net session or pull off a spectacular catch in the catching challenge
• Supercars: Race against the clock to set the fastest lap or prove precision in the pit lane

Australian sport fans are increasingly engaging with sport beyond the matches to bring the codes they love to life. Consuming sport news, playing games, as well as tuning in to expert analysis or documentaries are just some of the ways 54% of sports fans are immersing themselves outside the live game. 7.4 million Australians spend a massive 8 hours per week engaged with sport, 4 of which are beyond the live action. ^[1]

Mark Frain, CEO, Foxtel Media said, “The number of Aussie sport fans has grown dramatically in the past 4-5 years, and the majority of fans actually want more time in sport beyond live coverage. Sport is no longer just a hobby but an identity. Given the huge crossover between sports and video gaming, Kayo SPORTS Stadium is the perfect ground for fans to more actively participate in the epic codes they love, in an environment they make their own.”

Indy Khabra, Co-CEO, Livewire also commented, “We’re seeing strong interest from sports codes that recognise innovative, immersive gaming experiences that deliver deep engagement to complement traditional digital channels. It’s play-powered performance at a time when gaming continues to scale globally.”

Bec Haagsma, Executive General Manager, Customer, Commercial & Technology, AFL said the AFL is excited to be part of Kayo SPORTS Stadium on Roblox.

“We are always striving to make our game accessible and enjoyable to every household in Australia. The Kayo SPORTS Stadium experience adds to our already available AFL experience on Roblox and provides another creative and interactive way that players will be able to enjoy and experience footy within their digital playground.” 

Charlotte Valente, Chief Marketing Officer, Supercars, said: “Supercars is built on adrenaline, precision and unforgettable on-track moments – and this gives fans a new way to be part of it. Through Kayo SPORTS Stadium on Roblox, fans can jump behind the wheel, chase lap times and test themselves in the pit lane, extending the Supercars experience well beyond race day.”

Ed Sanders, Chief Commercial Officer, Cricket Australia, said: “Cricket continues to innovate in how it engages fans across formats and platforms. Through Kayo SPORTS Stadium, we’re offering a fun and accessible way for players to test their skills and interact with the game in a new environment whilst simultaneously inspiring players to pick up a bat and ball.”
