Psychological, Survival, and Puzzle-based Horror Galore!

SEATTLE, WA – June 3, 2026 — Seattle-based publisher Shoreline Games made its mark at The Horror Game Awards’ Midsummer Night’s Scream Showcase this year with the reveal of three new horror games: Dreadline Express, Sisters of Solitude, and The Funskin Project. Each title offers a different flavour of fear, from psychological dread and isolation to deeply unsettling encounters and stories based on real-life terror.

Dreadline Express 

Dreadline Express is a first-person, intense psychological horror game set aboard the last human train. As you journey through a dying world, you’ll collect mysterious cards that reveal fragments of the train’s history and its passengers. Every encounter offers new clues, but the truth won’t reveal itself on its own. Speak with strange passengers and piece together a complete deck to reconstruct the story before it disappears forever. The choices you make, and the secrets you uncover, will determine how much of the truth — and you — survives the journey.

Sisters of Solitude 

Based on a chilling true story, Sisters of Solitude is an isometric, pixel art detective horror game inspired by the haunting aesthetic of late 80s and early 90s 8-bit classics. Through haunting chiptune-inspired music and dream-like pixel art, you will embark on a twisted investigation inside the remains of an abandoned convent, The Order of Our Lady of Solitude. Decades ago, four sisters conspired in the dead of night to murder their Mother Superior in cold blood. Shortly after, the sisters were found dead, with no explanation.

The Funskin Project 

In this highly stylized isometric survival-horror adventure, players will navigate the castle of the mysterious Baron Fetuccini after an unforgiving blizzard halts their journey. Explore varied labyrinthine environments in a non-linear way, solve puzzles and riddles, and carefully manage your resources in this survival horror game where the slightest encounter can be fatal. Meet other characters who are also trapped in the castle. Assisting them may help you unlock the secrets behind the mysterious Funskin project.

A demo is available to play now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4058140/The_Funskin_Project_Demo/

More information about all these titles, including release dates, demo releases, and more will be shared at a later date.

Dave’s adventure continues, this time in the heart of the Jungle

SEOUL – June 18, 2026 — It’s time to trade the scuba gear for khakis. Dave is heading somewhere new! Mintrocket’s beloved hybrid adventure DAVE THE DIVER today launches its all-new ‘In the Jungle’ DLC, now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch/Switch 2. 

The ‘In the Jungle’ expansion sees Dave venture into all-new territory, as he embraces new freshwater responsibilities, meets the locals, helps familiar friends, and explores unfamiliar waters. Beneath the jungle lake awaits a brand-new ecosystem to explore, along with new missions and discoveries. Even Chef Bancho switches things up, trading in raw seafood dishes for grilled freshwater delicacies in the new restaurant, Bancho Grill. 

To celebrate the launch, Mintrocket has released a full-length live-action short film based on the events of ‘In the Jungle.’ The film has been made in collaboration with The Asylum (creators of Sharknado, Meth Gator). View the full film below: 

The ‘In the Jungle’ expansion launches with around 10 hours of new story and content, introducing surprising new encounters and mechanics that branch boldly away from the base game and previous DLCs.

“This expansion has been a long time in the making, and our team is excited to welcome our players back into the world, this time with a freshwater twist,” said Jaeho Hwang, Head of Studio and Game Director, Mintrocket. “The jungle gave us so much creative room to play with, and we can’t wait for players to discover everything we’ve hidden in there.”

Key Features include: 

• A Whole New Environment: Encounter unfamiliar creatures, discover exotic new ingredients, and uncover the hidden dangers lurking within an ancient underwater civilization beneath the jungle lake.
• New Restaurant, Same Standards: Welcome to Bancho Grill, where bold jungle flavors meet Bancho’s uncompromising culinary craft. Build relationships with the villagers and earn yourself a loyal new clientele.
• A Warm Village Welcome: Lend a hand to the locals and earn their trust. Some villagers may be wary of outsiders at first, but as Dave knows well, a thoughtful gift or a great meal can open just about any door.
• More Than Meets the Eye: The jungle holds more than lakes and villages. From mysterious ancient temples to eerie, uncharted forests, Dave and his crew will discover just how deep the unknown goes.

Note: ‘In the Jungle’ content is accessible after completing the DAVE THE DIVER base game. However, players will have an option to start straight from the ‘In the Jungle’ DLC without clearing the base game.

DAVE THE DIVER Physical Editions

From Silver Lining Direct, two physical editions for DAVE THE DIVER on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 are available to order, with delivery expected later this year. 

The DAVE THE DIVER Complete Edition includes all DLC released (including In the Jungle DLC) on one disc/cartridge, and superfans can grab the DAVE THE DIVER Collector’s Edition, which is packed to the gills with exclusive treasures and trinkets. 

The Collector’s Edition includes the full boxed game and all DLC installments, as well as:

London (June 18, 2026) – Today, Yasmine demonstrated the Filipino martial art of Eskrima in a gameplay trailer before her arrival in Street Fighter™ 6. Yasmine will be the first character coming to Street Fighter 6 Year 4 across PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch™ 2 on August 3, 2026.

Watch the gameplay trailer showcasing Yasmine’s acrobatic knifework on YouTube below!

Hailing from the Philippines, Yasmine learned how to fight alongside her older brother under the guidance of her grandfather. Following the sudden disappearance of her brother, Yasmine put down her Karambit knife until FooTube videos of a certain French supermodel inspired her to cut a path to her lost sibling. On her journey of discovery, Yasmine will use various high-speed Eskrima techniques such as:

• Daloy ng Tubig: a quick forward-moving knife attack that can set-up or extend combos
• Alon: a follow-up attack from Daloy ng Tubig where Yasmine lashes out with a multi-slice hit that ends differently depending upon the strength used for the attack, with successful strikes placing Yasmine in a powered-up state (Bayani Mode)
• Talim ng Hangin: Yasmine spins forward in a low sweep that can either close distance with opponents or bait out their attacks based upon the strength used, with successful hits placing her in Bayani Mode
• Mukha ng Langit: Yasmine leaps into a front flip that can mix up opponents with either a forward swipe or an upside-down spinning back hit
• Lipad ng Agila: a multi-hit attack where Yasmine leaps into the air in a flurry of kicks
• Pangil sa Likuran: a swirling projectile that lashes out at varying speeds so Yasmine can chase down and open up her opponent
• Hiwa ng Kalangitan: Yasmine’s Level 1 Super Art sees her kick her opponent into the air, then slam them back down before transitioning into Bayani Mode
• Nakatagong Lakas: During Yasmine’s Level 2 Super Art she focuses her energy for a limited time boost that allows her to use special moves while staying in Bayani Mode. She can also use Linya ng Liwanag during this Super Art where she dashes past an opponent and attacks them from behind.
• Pamumukadkad ng Sampaguita: Yasmine’s Level 3 Super Art where she spins an opponent and gathers energy before pulverizing them in an all-out attack

Yasmine will be unlocked on August 3 for players who own or purchase the Year 4 Character Pass or Year 4 Ultimate Pass. Yasmine’s Outfit 1 showcases her in Eskrima combat attire, while Outfit 2 depicts Yasmine in her school uniform. Outfit 2 can be unlocked by maxing out her Acquisition Gauge in Avatar Arcade Mode or with Fighter Coins.

Yasmine is the first character to be released from the upcoming Year 4 roster including Arjun, Tifa from the FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series, and Bosch. Yasmine’s release will also coincide with Battle Balance adjustments for the entire Street Fighter 6 roster, so check out the Battle Change List before maintenance starts.
