NEW FACTION TRAILER: THE SPACE MARINES UNLEASH THEIR MIGHT IN DAWN OF WAR IV 

“To the last drop of blood, we defend the Imperium.” 

Sydney, Australia, 9 October 2026: Deep Silver and KING Art Games today revealed the fourth and final faction deep dive for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, showcasing two playable Space Marine chapters: the Blood Ravens and the Dark Angels. Watch it here:

The Space Marines rely on steady expansion and powerful shock assaults to disrupt enemy forces. Elite, powerful, but fewer in numbers compared to the hordes of xenos, they depend on careful positioning and tactical flexibility to maintain the advantage. 

On Kronus, two legendary Chapters answer the call to war. The mysterious Blood Ravens favour reconnaissance, infiltration and precision. Operating behind enemy lines, they gather intelligence and exploit weaknesses. The Dark Angels, on the other hand, embrace head-on force, deploying heavily armored formations in relentless assaults of sheer firepower. 

Leading the Space Marines into battle are Captain Cyrus of the Blood Ravens and ​Company Master ​Astoran of the Dark Angels. Where Cyrus specialises in stealth, marksmanship and a well-timed air strike, Astoran leads from the front, his mighty Terminator armour making him near unstoppable. 

Pummel the battlefield in a storm of Drop Pods. Channel your fury into searing Orbital Bombardments. Command humanity’s greatest warriors and last ​resort against the encroaching darkness.​​     ​ 

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV launches on December 3, 2026 (December 4 AEDT), with Commander Edition players deploying from November 30 (December 1 AEDT) through a 3-Day Early Unlock. Both editions are available to pre-order now with a 10% discount. The war will continue long after launch. Year One includes free updates featuring the return of Crusade Mode, new maps, modes, Commanders, and the Mission Editor, alongside two major story expansions that will deepen the conflict on Kronus and introduce a new playable faction to the battlefield.

Risk of Rain 2: Hallowed Concepts Expansion Now Available

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software released Hallowed Concepts, the fourth expansion coming to Risk of Rain 2, for PC, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S. Check out the launch trailer here. 

Hallowed Concepts takes fans deeper into the cult-like world of N’Kuhana. To discover the hidden secrets of the N’tormat, players will fight through haunting new regions of Petrichor V, face horrific new enemies, and uncover powers never before possible in Risk of Rain 2.

The expansion offers powerful curses to overcome, deadly trials to face, and new stages to conquer, including the fetid depths of the returning Damp Caverns, the villages of the Tenebrous Quagmire, and the sacred ground of The Lurid Basilica.

Two New Playable Survivors: Acolyte and Enforcer
Players can explore this new content as two new playable survivors: Acolyte and Enforcer.

The Acolyte personifies choosing more power at a great cost. She is a close-range glaive-wielder who can chain through anything she sees as she dances around the battlefield, toying with the souls of her enemies and bargaining with her own. A portion of the health the Acolyte loses, as well as incoming healing, is set aside for her to reclaim later while slicing through enemies. Her Sacrifice special brings her array of attacks together, marking an enemy and channeling the power of the Death God through it, ripping them apart in a burst of massive damage.

A returning survivor from the original Risk of Rain, the Enforcer laughs in the face of enemy attacks, pairing an unbreakable defense with dynamic, tactical movement and powerful, shield-focused abilities. Steel Protection blocks everything in front of his shield and can parry dangerous projectiles, sending them right back to their owners. Shield Tackle can close the distance and bring the Enforcer right into the center of the action to provide cover for other survivors. Finally, Rally Point creates a shockwave that knocks enemies away and leaves behind a barrier that gets restored with each kill.

Conquer the Trials of N’kuhana

Players can rely on the power of these new survivors to take on the Trials of N’kuhana, timed challenges that bring survivors into pocket realms, each with their own unique objectives and rewards. Trials come in three haunted flavors: Winnowings of Survival, Predation, and Mortality, where players must endure the pain, hunt down prey, or race for their very soul. A single timer is shared between all Trials, giving players a choice between attempting another Trials or returning to their run with the power they’ve collected.

Hallowed Concepts delivers plenty more new content as well, including new stages, bosses and enemies, item types, music, and more.

Celebrate Mafia III’s 10-year anniversary with PS5 / XBOX Series X|S versions and a new Steam update

Family isn’t who you’re born with, it’s who you die for. It’s been 10 years since Mafia III made its debut on October 7, 2016, following Lincoln Clay as he blazes a violent path of revenge through the mob-run city of New Bordeaux in 1968. To celebrate, we’re honoring a decade of Lincoln’s legacy with a new Steam update bringing quality-of-life enhancements to Mafia III: Definitive Edition, live now.

Drunken Goddess Reflux,a Top 100 Most Wishlisted Upcoming Game on Steam, Gets Wasted on PC Dec. 8, New Demo Oct. 19

TOKYO — 8 October, 2026 — Drunken Goddess Reflux, the tipsy roguelike survival game ranking in the top-100 most wishlisted unreleased games on Steam with more than 500,000 wishlists, puts alcohol tolerance to the ultimate test on PC via Steam on Tuesday, 8 December, 2026, as revealed today during the Triple-i Showcase by publisher Alliance Arts and developer WHO YOU. Lushes can get their first taste when the debut demo releases at Steam Next Fest beginning Monday, 19 October, 2026.

Femme Soule, the demon of alcohol, awaits you at Pandemonium, Hell’s very own bar. Step into a deadly game of Russian roulette fueled by infernal liquor, and imbibe to survive a demon in search of a soulmate with supernaturally high alcohol tolerance.

Yet Femme Soule does not intend to inflict eternal suffering. She’s actually in love, and love makes people do crazy things – and that goes double for the demonic denizens of Hell. She believes that you, desperate to escape reality, would be happier living with her in hell. You feel differently. Drink, drink, and drink again, doing whatever it takes to stay conscious as long as possible. 

This boozy battle has eternal consequences! Every sip of alcohol served brings both of you closer to vomiting out your soul. Implement devious drunken tricks to bend the rules, even if it means driving an ice pick into your own hand, using the pain to shake off a drunken stupor.

Drink Femme Soule under the table and make her lose her lunch first to return to reality, or upchuck your very essence and prepare for a happily-ever-afterlife (for Femme Soule, not you) in Hell.

“The overwhelming community response to everything we have shown for Drunken Goddess Reflux has been nothing short of amazing,” said Fuyuki Hayashi, head developer of Alliance Arts. “With Steam Next Fest around the corner, everyone can finally get a taste with the debut demo, and to lend their voice to development as we approach launch in December.”

Drunken Goddess Reflux arrives on PC via Steam on Tuesday, 8 December, 2026 with language options in English, Japanese and Chinese (Simplified). For more information, visit Alliance Arts’ official website and follow them on X / Twitter.

Additionally, Alliance Arts’ most recent title, Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis, will be on sale for 20% off until 15 Oct. as part of the Triple-i Steam event.

Convergence Showcase – Creepy Horrors: Blood Cult 2 Conjures Console Versions in 2027, PC Playtest Available Now

Lead an arcane cult, collect otherworldly creatures, battle for underworld supremacy

ATLANTA — 9 Oct. 2026 — Creepy Horrors: Blood Cult 2, the spooky occult creature-collector RPG from Dillo Interactive, will summon forth arcane creatures in 2027 on Steam for PC and SteamOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S. Today marks the launch of a Steam playtest and the release of a new trailer, which premiered as part of the October Convergence showcase.

Vie for power and influence in the underworld by collecting, battling, and sacrificing more than 100 Creepy Horrors. Summon forth folkloric creatures like the Wendigo, the disgusting Soul Sucker, and the inexplicable Jimothy. Fight against other cult leaders in 3v3 turn-based battles with a squad of six Horrors, strategically charging up Blood Lust to deploy Horrors’ abilities to deal damage, deliver devastating debuffs, and deploy defensive disciplines, while charging up powerful ultimate attacks to put other cultists in their place. 

Join one of four specialized Sects, each offering their own dark strengths. Dost thou crave big damage numbers? Join the offensive onslaught of Secta Daemonum. Then again, defense wins championships, and Secta Mortuorum specializes in damage resistance. Secta Spirituum specializes in buffs and debuffs, while Secta Cryptidarum embraces entropy, enabling extreme evasion and unpredictable attacks. Choose wisely…each Sect even has exclusive ability-augmenting Relics and Horrors.

Upgrade Horrors and summon fresh fiends by sacrificing cultists and unwanted Horrors to gain parts to complete recipes. Waste not, want not. Explore the crypts to find new recipes, growing in power and influence to challenge more difficult crypts and more powerful cultists. The playtest, available today on Steam, features more than 20 Horrors and multiple crypts to explore.

“After the success of My Little Blood Cult, we wanted to expand the world and explore a new genre, and creature collectors felt like a natural fit,” said Ryan Gallini, founder, Dillo Interactive. “The only problem is that I think the game might actually be cursed, because my Steam Deck keeps calling to me to ‘playtest’ it some more…”

Creepy Horrors: Blood Cult 2’s playtest is available now on Steam, with the full game launching in 2027 on Steam for PC and SteamOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S, with support for English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese – Brazil, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Turkish language text.

    • The event opens up at level 20, the same threshold as Dragon Invasion, so most active players can jump in right away.
    • Each visit unfolds in a few distinct beats. Get advance notice of which caravan is coming and what it’s after, then watch it roll into town as Stahl, its ever-present driver, steps out to make introductions. From there, it’s up to the Shopkeeper to fill the caravan’s order before it moves on.
    • Each run of the event lasts five days, with a new caravan pulling in daily with its own list of wanted goods. Expect Pharoway Caravan to make regular return visits on a similar cadence after its October debut.
  • Inventory Puzzles
    • Fit weapons and armor from your inventory into each caravan’s grid, rotating and stacking items to make the most of the space available. Placement updates in real time, with clear visual feedback showing where an item fits and where it doesn’t.
    • Matching what a caravan is looking for earns bonus Gold and Vouchers, and lining up two or three of its wanted types at once multiplies the reward even further, rewarding Shopkeepers who plan their crafting around what’s coming next.

❖  The Caravan Store

  • Every item sold to a caravan rewards both Gold and Vouchers. Vouchers are spendable only at the Caravan Store and don’t carry over between events, so it pays to spend them before time runs out.
  • The Caravan Store rotates a handful of featured offers, including consumables, blueprints, decorations, and Silver Emblems, refreshing its selection regularly so there’s always something new to save up for.

❖  Silver Emblems & The Shop Banner

  • Silver Emblems, purchased with Vouchers through the Caravan Store, unlock the Shop Banner: a new piece of exterior decor that boosts whichever blueprint line a Shopkeeper assigns to it.
  • The Banner can be upgraded over time and swapped to a different blueprint line whenever priorities change.
  • Shopkeepers can also collect Path customizations, cosmetic skins for the road leading up to their shop, with five available at launch and more planned down the line.

❖  Leaderboards

  • Guild and worldwide leaderboards track total vouchers earned during the event, giving competitive Shopkeepers and guilds another reason to make the most of every trade.

❖  Additional Halloween-Themed Content & More

  • Community Event: Haunted Item – A Halloween-flavored community goal event running ahead of the caravan’s debut.
  • Halloween Content Pass & Login Calendar – Bringing seasonal content through early October.
  • Lost City of Gold – Returning with a new capstone Robe blueprint as its top reward.
  • Dragon Invasion & King’s Caprice – Continuing their usual recurring schedule
