Leamington Spa, UK – 20th February, 2025: Leading UK games publisher Kwalee and Swedish indie developer Powersnake are thrilled to announce the launch of a New Game+ mode for the 2D Metroidvania Voidwrought on PC. Players can now delve deeper into its hand-drawn world of cosmic horrors with three distinct New Game+ paths to explore.

The following New Game+ paths have been added – 

The Reborn 

For players who like a major combat challenge, the Reborn path might be the choice for them. On this path, enemy damage and enemy health have been increased. 

The Harbinger

On this path, enemy damage is increased and regular attack damage is greatly reduced, but players will have access to unlimited Void Charges to take full advantage of their Relic abilities at any time!

The Undone

On this path, death itself becomes a weapon. Players will permanently lose 1 health bar per death and they cannot regain health outside of dying, but the regular attack damage is increased every time they die. Additionally, enemy damage is increased. 

Players now have the option to select Hardcore Mode right from the beginning, without the need to complete the game first. Hardcore mode brings permadeath to Voidwrought, adding new tension to every encounter. 

Voidwrought is available on Steam, the Nintendo eShop, and the Epic Games Store.

New Steam Next Fest Demo Available Today

SHANGHAI, China – Feb. 19, 2025 – Faun Town, a relaxing farming sim auto-builder RPG from developer Youle Fun and publisher 2P Games, ventures onto PC via Steam on Thursday, March 13, 2025. A new demo where not all is as it seems is available now.

Crashland on a mysterious yet peaceful island with no memories. Establish a base of operations, expand into a cozy farmland, and eventually a full-on production encampment. Traverse jungles, deserts, canyons, and mazes when scavenging for resources to repair the damaged ship.  

Restoring the ship requires raw materials, so chop wood and mine ore. Blissfully fish and cook hearty meals to have the energy for a hard day’s work. Slowly upgrade production from simple furniture and charming decorations for the homestead to futuristic warp coils. Upgrade the tech tree to unlock gene modifications, automated production, and more. 

Futuristic tech requires near unlimited energy. Expand with power grids and manage different types of robots to harvest crops, transport materials, and maintain the fields. Domesticate precious pets for organic companionship. But not all fauna on this island is friendly.

Take down bats to bears, and even alien creatures in fast-paced combat or through strategic tower defense. Wildlife isn’t the only thing to be worried about. Uncover hidden messages in underground caverns, witness blood-soaked rituals, and uncover the island’s dark secrets while repairing the wrecked spaceship to return home.

“We wanted to put a twist on the traditional farming sim experience by incorporating tower defense and an out of this world story,” said Yang Wei, Producer and Developer, Youle Fun. “Explorers will have the chance to immerse themselves in a one-of-kind experience as they make their escape off the mysterious island.”

Faun Town will be available on PC via Steam on Thursday, March 13, 2025, and has a new demo available now. Language support includes English and Simplified Chinese.

The Renowned Deckbuilder Returns with an Otherwordly Challenge

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 19, 2025) – Big Fan, a Devolver Digital publishing label, and developer Shiny Shoe (Monster Train) today revealed Monster Train 2, a full-scope sequel to the deckbuilding series’ celebrated, 1.5 million+ selling debut. Since waiting to play Monster Train 2 would be a hellish punishment, its surprise first demo is also available right now on PC (Steam) ahead of the full game leaving the station later this year to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X|S (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2742830).

Monster Train 2 cleverly builds on the original’s innovative, vertical three-floor battle system for a new epic challenge revealed in today’s announcement trailer: stopping the impossibly powerful Titans from destroying this world. The only hope lies solely with a once-unthinkable allegiance between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Prepare for a fun yet fiendish journey into the homeworld of the Titans, the Abyss. Monster Train 2 pushes your ability to adapt to the fight at hand, and to outwit armies of seemingly unstoppable foes as it takes you from the depths of Hell from the original game and throws you into surprising new environments that await beyond the Gates of Heaven:

Wage war against devious new enemy Factions by guiding five all-new playable Clans, each with their own strategic advantages empowering alternative battle styles. Shiny Shoe has shuffled hundreds of new and familiar cards into Monster Train 2, including the debut of additional card types; Room Cards supply powerful boosts to a single floor of the train, Equipment Cards stack new powers onto individual units, and fan-favorite Clan-agnostic Neutral Cards offer massive opportunities that can turn a dire tide. New unit abilities have been added to the sequel, allowing the player to activate an ability at their choosing which gives a strategic advantage when used at opportune times. Experimentation is both rewarding and crucial for realizing the astonishing depth of Monster Train 2’s combat.

Monster Train 2’s locomotive-sized trove of additions includes new buff-granting train customization, an Endless Mode, Daily and Dimensional challenges, run mutators, leaderboards and more. Combined with an immense array of cards to build unstoppable decks and synergies with, Monster Train 2’s robust features ensure newcomers and experienced strategists alike are in for a tense new fight brimming with possibility, excitement and deadly discovery.
