“Mina” is a nine-tailed fox who inherits the bloodline of a Divine Maiden serving the God of Fate and plays a central role in the MONGIL: STAR DIVE universe.

She attacks enemies using flame orbs known as “Foxfire Orb.” Her ultimate skill “Foxfire Clone” deals powerful fire damage while summoning a clone that fights alongside her. When paired with characters that apply fire-attribute debuffs, she is expected to deliver strong synergy across various content.
To celebrate the update, Netmarble will host a four-week “Mina” Summoning Event. A special event titled “Flame That Takes” will also be available that offers additional story content for the character.

New unit, reworked core combat systems, expanded upgrades, and extensive balancing arrive in latest update
Breda, The Netherlands – April 29, 2026. Indie developer CableHook Games has released the Second major update for Here Comes The Swarm in Early Access, introducing a powerful new unit, a comprehensive overhaul of the armour system, expanded unit upgrade paths, and a range of balancing and gameplay improvements.
The update marks a significant evolution of the game’s core combat systems, adding new strategic depth and refining how armies scale and interact across the battlefield.
At the centre of the update is the introduction of the Arcanist, a new long-range unit that channels Arcana to deliver high-impact magical attacks. Unlocked from the Barracks following the Stone Tier upgrade, the Arcanist introduces a flexible toolkit designed around positioning, synergy, and tactical decision-making.
The unit features multiple “Essences” that enhance its role on the battlefield, including effects that boost nearby resource production, extend unit range and vision, apply stacking debuffs, or allow attacks to pierce through enemies. It also brings powerful active abilities such as Inject, which buffs allied units, and Mini Nuke, a high-damage Arcana-based ability designed for critical moments in combat.
Alongside the new unit, the update delivers a complete rework of the armour system, shifting damage mitigation from flat reductions to percentage-based scaling. Armour now provides clearer feedback through updated tooltips, while introducing diminishing returns to improve late-game balance. Armour penetration has also been redesigned to reduce armour before damage is applied, making it a more meaningful counter-stat in combat.
The update further expands progression systems across multiple unit types, introducing new Barracks and Blacksmith upgrades that enhance healing, speed, range, and damage output. Units such as Priests, Pyromaniacs, Knights, and Arbalists all receive additional upgrade paths or refinements to existing progression, improving overall army variety and strategic depth.
Additional improvements include balance adjustments, usability updates, and general gameplay fixes aimed at improving overall stability and combat clarity.
The developer notes that this update is the second in a series of ongoing Early Access improvements, with additional units, systems, and refinements planned based on community feedback.
Here Comes The Swarm is available now in Steam Early Access.

Cooperation is key, but only one bounty hunter can take home the loot
April 29, 2026 – Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted, the fast-paced co-op action roguelite shooter from developer Nanuq and publisher Infini Fun, lassos up lucrative fugitives on Thursday, May 28 on Steam for PC.
The most dangerous criminals in the universe require the skills of the most reckless, cash-hoarding bounty hunters. Become one of eight outlaws, like Kyle the robot cowboy with his revolver and powerful special shots, or Xane with her deadly claws. Use each hunter’s powerful lasso to whip across gaps, activate environmental hazards, and deal deadly finishers to staggered targets.
Wrangling these bounties might require some help, and with four-player co-op supporting online matchmaking, private lobbies, and local play, these bosses won’t know what hit them. But when the boss falls, and the reward lies there for the taking, all alliances must end. The squad turns their weapons on each other for the Final Showdown where the last outlaw standing takes home the whole reward. But don’t worry, there’s always another boss with a bounty on their head to collect…
Brevity meets depth as each run in Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted is a quick, three-stage affair, meaning failure offers a quick turnaround to try again, and quick pick-up-and-play sessions. Each hunter has a deep assortment of permanent upgrades to unlock at the home base of Hunter’s Heaven, and each boss provides more challenging debuffs after each victory.
“We love co-op games, but the time commitment that many roguelites require for a full run proved to be a hindrance,” said Nat Rangsarannon, Director of Bounty Brawl at Nanuq. “Enjoy a quick run with some friends…and then another, and another…”
Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted launches on Steam for PC on Thursday, May 28 for $XX.99, with support for English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, and Traditional Chinese language text.
For more information, follow Bounty Brawl: Most Wanted on X, Facebook, and TikTok, and join the official Discord server.
