The frantic 2.5D roguelike beat ’em up storms the streets of Nuevo Tokyo, and the uprising against the Narkuzas begins

Bucharest, Romania, July 31, 2026 – Amber Studio today confirmed that Mexican Ninja, the fast and gloriously over-the-top 2.5D roguelike beat ’em up, launches on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on August 20. Slice your way through the streets of Nuevo Tokyo and lead the uprising against the Narkuzas.

Welcome to Nuevo Tokyo, a chaotic feudal regime forged when Mexico’s Narcos and Japan’s Yakuza merged into a new ruling class: the Narkuzas. They are now the law, and the law sucks culo. On the outskirts of the city a group of rebels is plotting against the five heads of the Narkuza clan. Enter the Mexican Ninja.

Slice through the stylized streets in adrenaline-pumping combat where precise movement, positioning and perfectly timed attacks decide every duel. The fighting is easy to learn yet rewards the kind of mastery only a true Mexican Ninja can reach.

Every playthrough is different, with randomized levels, over-the-top duels and pimped-out weapons. Each run unlocks new ninja skills as you train with El Mero Mero Sensei, gain the favor of Mexican-Japanese spirits and wield their powers. Unleash Mexican Jutsus, experiment with builds and combos and swagger it up with hidden apparel. It is not enough to fight the Narkuza, you need to look good doing it to inspire an uprising. Viva la revolución.

“This is the moment we have been building toward. Every parry, every jutsu, every run is about that feeling of getting knocked down and standing back up with more swagger than before. Mexican Ninja has always been a vibe, a spirit, a way of being and now players everywhere can find their inner donkey,”

said Dario Hoyo, Creative Director at Mexican Ninja.

KEY FEATURES

• 3D Beat ‘Em Up, 2D Retro Soul: Fast, responsive arcade combat with gore-splashed flair.
• Rogue-Lite Chaos: Randomized runs, trash-talking duels and weapons that get muy personal.
• Way of the Donkey: A swagger-soaked skill tree that turns good fundamentals into ridiculous power.
• Mexican Jutsus: Signature abilities that supercharge crowd control and look impossibly cool.

AVAILABILITY

Mexican Ninja launches on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on August 20. Wishlist and follow the game now to stay up to date on all things Nuevo Tokyo.

The Great Sink Escape Begins Today

Today, Goose Byte Games and Balor Games are bubbling with excitement to announce that Sponge Break, a chaotic 1-4 player co-op rafting adventure, is now available on PC (Steam) for $7.99 USD. Become a runaway sponge, brave a barely-floating raft, and survive physics-fueled chaos solo or with up to three friends!

Watch the Sponge Break Launch Trailer below.

Sponge Break brings its unique brand of chaotic co-op adventure to players everywhere, embracing the unpredictable nature of physics-based multiplayer games. Following extensive playtesting with over 500,000 minutes played, more than 26 million views across streaming and social media, and plenty of slapstick mishaps along the way, the game has already inspired a growing collection of hilarious player moments all born from the thrill of trying to stay afloat when everything goes wrong. The teams at Goose Byte Games and Balor Games look forward to seeing players create their own spectacular failures and memorable escapes as Sponge Break officially launches today. 

In Sponge Break, players and up to three friends take on the role of sponges who’ve escaped the confines of the kitchen sink. Armed with nothing more than a trusty plunger-hook, a bit of wishful thinking, and proximity chat, the goal of the game is simple: navigate a very fragile raft down the world’s most dangerous rapids. (Oh, and don’t get wet. That’s important, too.) Each sponge team must work together to keep their makeshift barge afloat while using physics and various consumable items to solve challenging puzzles, dodge environmental hazards, and avoid getting attacked by all sorts of wildlife. Simple, right?

Key Features:

• 1 to 4 sponges, drop-in, co-op gameplay. So that friend who’s “5 minutes away” can show up 40 minutes later and immediately make it worse. Playable solo too, no judgment.
• Proximity voice chat. Sponges lip-sync to your voice chat. Will you sing a shanty, scream a warning, or just listen to your crew fall apart in real time?
• Real physics, real consequences. Navigate down the world’s most dangerous rapids. Steer wrong, flip it and lose all your stuff, take a hit, and the thing comes apart under you. Every run has at least one moment nobody planned and everybody remembers.
• Actual teamwork tools. A plunger that functions as a grappling hook, throw anything that isn’t bolted down, and a shared raft stash for the loot you’ll definitely lose.
• 100+ unlockable cosmetic options. Customize your sponge’s eyes, eyebrows, mouths, hats, your inflatable buoys, even your plunger. Plus emotes, for celebrating a clean run or pointing very clearly at whoever sank it… It was Doug. It’s always Doug.
• Level based gameplay, across multiple biomes. The full journey will take you through sewers, rivers, abandoned facilities, and more! Hang out at safehouses between levels to patch up, revive, restock, and have a quick argument before setting sail again.

Sponge Break is available now on Steam for $7.99 USD.

ShipShaper Sets Sail for Steam Early Access on 3 September

Long-time shipmates Wired Productions and Tomas Sala celebrate ShipShaper’s next major milestone, bringing players new ways to shape, sail and take their creations far beyond the game.

Watford, UK, 31 July 2026: ShipShaper will launch in Steam Early Access on 3 September 2026. Independent publisher Wired Productions and BAFTA-nominated solo developer Tomas Sala revealed the date during today’s opening presentation for Six One Demo Days, hosted by Six One Indie.

The announcement marks the latest step for ShipShaper under Wired’s colours, backed by a seven-year creative partnership that first took flight with The Falconeer and went on to rebuild civilisation in Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles.

ShipShaper is built around one beautifully simple idea: designing ships should feel good. At the helm, Tomas Sala is doing what he does best: taking a deeply personal creative obsession and turning it into an invitation for everyone else to create something of their own.

There is no combat, management or prescribed way to build. No intimidating 3D tools, rigid grids or correct answers. Players simply pull, push, bend and shape forms into fishing vessels, tall ships, ironclads, submarines or glorious nautical creations no sensible shipyard would ever approve. Early Access expands the current demo with the ability to take creations onto the water and sail them, plus new historical weapons and turrets, propulsion options, sail types, lighting, props and more flexible shaping tools.

Once a vessel is ready to leave the shipyard, players can admire it bobbing on the horizon, place it inside a bottle or handcrafted diorama, export it into Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles or take the complete 3D model into another creative project. Models can also be exported and prepared for 3D printing using external software, depending on the design and printing method.

ShipShaper’s free commercial licence allows developers, modders, makers and other creators to use their designs in personal and commercial projects. Models are already appearing in small independent games.

Many of ShipShaper’s features have grown directly from player requests, including historical additions suggested through a dedicated channel on Tomas Sala’s Discord. Early Access opens that conversation further, with feedback helping guide what comes next.

“I can build ships all day, but the real magic happens when I hand the tools to players and they make something I would never have thought of,” said Tomas Sala. “ShipShaper has already gone in wonderfully unexpected directions. Early Access is about throwing the shipyard doors open, adding more tools and seeing just how far people can take it.”

KEY FEATURES

• Build without boundaries: Pull, push, bend and shape ships using approachable tools, with no previous 3D design experience required.
• More ways to shape and sail: Expand your fleet with new building parts and historical details, then take finished creations onto the water.
• Bottle and display your fleet: Place finished ships inside decorative bottles and handcrafted dioramas, then capture them in photo mode.
• Take creations beyond ShipShaper: Export models for use in other projects, prepare them for 3D printing using external software, or bring vessels directly into Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles. A free commercial licence supports personal and commercial use.
• Help shape the voyage: Share requests and ideas through Tomas Sala’s Discord and help influence what he builds next.

The ShipShaper demo is available now on Steam. Wishlist the game and prepare to set sail when ShipShaper launches in Steam Early Access on 3 September 2026.

With a range of gear to upgrade and weapons to brandish, the Starting Class is just the beginning

Nicosia, Cyprus, (July 31, 2026) | In the merciless world of The Expanse, how well one adapts can be the difference between life and brutal death. Traditional RPGs often have the drawback of locking players into fixed classes, often not being flexible enough to stray too far from specific playstyles. For The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the team at Owlcat Games opted to take a different approach: instead of choosing a fixed role, playstyles are developed across four skill trees, with the weapons and gadgets equipped and upgraded ultimately defining player combat.

The progression system was designed to encourage player creativity and experimentation. Players start by picking one specialization as a foundation, but can add completely different skills chosen from the four skill trees: Marksmanship, Gadgets, Survivalist, and Leader, to mix and match and create their own playstyle. Furthermore, gear evolves with the players: once an interesting weapon or gadget is acquired, players can enhance it along several upgrade paths to make it wholly their own. Some rare upgrades can even completely change the way a weapon works. Developing gear to complement playstyle is absolutely crucial and an integral part of the progression system.

The progression system works similarly for the companions: While they are experts in their own fields and Teo is a doctor, damnit, not a sniper, players can still choose between different specializations and gadget upgrades within their field of expertise.

More details about the progression system can be found in the latest blog post here.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will launch on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in spring 2027. Fans can wishlist the game now.
