Winner of the Player Designed Island Contest, the Mysterious New Island Adds a New Quest, New Activities, a New Mini Boss and More!

29th July, 2026, Cambridge, UK – Today, Jagex: The RuneScape Company is thrilled to share that the mists have lifted across the treacherous waters of the Unquiet Ocean to reveal a perilous new area for players to forge new adventures: Wyrmscraig. Created by OSRS player and creator ScreteMonge (also known as Gnome), his concept was selected from over 1,000 entries to the community Player-Designed Island Competition earlier this year. This new area introduces a new sailing destination brimming with new content, including a new quest, new activities, and a new repeatable boss, The Mad Angel, and more.

Far across the south-west sea of Gielinor lies the secluded island of Wyrmscraig. Known to the locals as Cuil An Domainh, its rugged mountainous terrain and highly aggressive wildlife make for the perfect place for adventurers to explore. Upon arriving on its rocky shores, players will encounter the remote village of Auchrie, occupied by a tenacious community who have built a secluded life for themselves despite the harsh environment, making them wary of the rare traveller to wash ashore.   

Travelling to Wyrmscraig and scaling its rocky shores will give access to exciting activities, making the difficult journey worthwhile for the most determined adventurers:

New Quest: Fallen From Grace and New Repeatable Boss: An introduction to the island where players explore the village of Auchurie, they learn of the enigmatic Guardian of its people, The Mad Angel, whose presence may just be myth. Adventurers must learn what led this once benevolent protector to descend into madness and ascend the steps of Ardeaglais to discover the truth of her existence. Upon completion of this quest, Adventurers can test their might against the new repeatable boss, The Mad Angel, to earn themselves the valuable weapon, Hallowfell.

New Slayer Master: Mortimer: Accessible once players have started to progress through Fallen From Grace and unlockable with 100 Combat and 70 Slayer (or 99 Slayer respectively), this new high-level slayer master puts control into players’ hands. Instead of the traditional single task assignment, Mortimer offers slayers a choice of two, with the ability to unlock three assignments to choose from as the relationship progresses; however, assignments will be more expensive to skip. As players progress, they’ll unlock powerful modifiers that appear alongside the task, granting extra rewards or benefits, depending on the assignment.  

New Activity: Golem Crafting: After completing the Fallen From Grace quest, players unlock the ability to craft new protectors for the islands people – golems. As an alternative training method to glassblowing, crafters will mine the rocky terrain for sunstone, then sculpt the golem’s stone figure, and finally adorn it with clothing for bonus crafting experience.

New Activity: Goat Hunting: A brand-new hunter training activity; players will need to cull the out-of-control goat population on the island by herding their prey into spike-filled pits, using spike traps that can be found on the island. Each goat successfully herded towards their doom will grant hunter experience, with a greater amount of additional hunter XP granted for every goat processed as well as the unique goat hunter pet Mr McGroot.

Old School RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.

Take the role of an immortal starship pilot sent to investigate the ruins of a fallen empire.

Seattle, United States, 29 July 2026 | Indie developer Codex Interactive is excited to announce that their debut title, Omen, will release on Steam on August 11th, 2026. In this top-down sci-fi extraction shooter, players will explore and loot the war-torn remains of a fallen galactic empire while shoring up a defensive front to combat waves of lurking pirates, opportunistic traitors, and savage cultists. 

Galaxy-Wide Calamity

Humanity has been reduced to a post-apocalyptic expanse of broken space stations and nomadic ships. Take on the role of an Astral, an immortal starship pilot whose job is to investigate The Veil, a cosmic anomaly hailed by an army of cultists set on inciting a total war to claim power. Amidst this macabre backdrop, Omen challenges players to root out the forces of the Veil, raid their bases, defend against retaliatory infiltration, and ally with the resistance to recenter the remaining threads of humanity.

Rebuild the Monastery

Omen combines base defense combat, ship customization, item crafting, and extraction looter elements for a cross-genre gameplay experience. At the start of the game, you come across the remains of a derelict monastery suitable enough to use as your base. With the Monastery as your hub, interact with local NPCs to claim missions, customize your ship, and build new weapons for your future raids. It is a prime target for the forces of the Veil, so it’s essential to build out its defenses to survive the brutal waves of enemy onslaught.

A Futile, Four-Part Saga

Every region of the Samarin Empire has unique challenges, quests, and loot. Discover Omen’s four-act structure as you delve further into the burning remains of a once-great civilization. Each act, complete with its own set of questlines, mini-objectives, and loot drops, ends with a high-octane boss battle to test your upgraded weaponry, tactics, and skills. Battle through military bases, secret research facilities, and the Empire’s capital city before reaching The Veil. Secure final weaponry upgrades and team up with new allies to face the abominations of this otherworldly dimension. Do you have what it takes to overcome The Veil for good?

Gameplay Features

• Base Defense Gameplay: Hordes of pirates, a legion of traitors, and an armada of cultists want you dead. Craft a variety of defensive structures and expand your base to withstand retaliatory enemy raids. 
• Extraction Shooter: Select a mission to complete allies’ objectives and extract valuable resources; if the enemy response fleet arrives, quickly stage your exit or be prepared to face powerful capital ships.
• Four Act Saga: Uncover the truth behind The Veil across four distinct story arcs against a cosmic backdrop of Lovecraftian-styled myth. Each Act features a unique enemy faction and culminates in an epic boss battle. 
• Over 80 Items and Upgrades: Collect loot from enemy bases, select from a variety of ship hulls, and build a combination of over 80 weapons, defensive structures, abilities, and utility items. There are hundreds of different possible loadouts, each with unique strengths and drawbacks.

Omen arrives on Steam August 11th. Players can wishlist the game for launch updates and try the demo to experience Omen’s first act. For more information about Codex Interactive, please visit their website: https://www.codexinteractive.com/

Wednesday 29th July 2026, Wakefield, UK – Mantic Games and team17 are celebrating 30 years of the Worms series with Worms: The Board Game – 30th Anniversary Edition. Available from today, the new special edition follows the original’s successful Kickstarter campaign, an OnTableTop Board Game of the Year award, and multiple sold-out retail print runs… proving once again that, ironically for a series about invertebrate warfare, it has serious legs!

One moment you’re lining up the perfect attack, and the next moment your plans are dashed by an unexpected gust of wind, an unfortunate chain reaction, or an exploding sheep that had other ideas…

Bigger Battles, More Worms, More Mayhem

Building on the success of the original and award-winning retail release, this new anniversary box has been upgraded with:

• 24 unique 3D Worm miniatures (up from sixteen minis of four repeated sculpts)
• Six multi-hex landscapes for larger maps (up from four)

Journey through a magical labyrinth to find the Maze God on Steam and Xbox

LAGOS, NIGERIA — July 28, 2026 — Go North, the atmospheric maze adventure game developed by solo Nigerian studio gazuntype, braves a wilderness woven with magic and technology today on PC via Steam and Xbox Series X|S, with a Nintendo Switch version on the way.

“It is not very often a Littler attempts to Go North. Tell me, little one…what motivates you?”

Direct Dara through a mystical maze of twisted forests, bookshelf corridors, sky islands, and more on a journey into a magical world on a quest to meet the Maze God face to face. Harness the power of ancient technologies and untamed magics to unravel his grand designs, and discover his hiding place to be granted a single wish in return.  

Discover the Maze God’s whereabouts by finding the exit to a series of immersive labyrinths designed by Lagos’ Tade Ajiboye, highlighting West Africa’s award-winning contributions to interactive media worldwide. Through tranquil representations of being lost, feeling adrift, and lacking direction, Go North provides players a chance to take a moment and reconnect with a slower pace of life.

Find ancient relics weaving magic with technology, like the moth-shaped Lunaboard or levitating bubble to get a bird’s-eye view, to help Dara navigate through each world. Locate secret Golden Compasses to find unlockables, and customize Dara with cosmetics like hats, scarves, and more to personalize every journey in meaningful ways.

“There is a certain sense of serenity that comes from a good walk,” said Tade Ajiboye, owner of gazuntype. “With so much uncertainty in the real world, I wanted the calmness Go North exudes to be embedded into the core gameplay loop. As finding the exit due north is the only duty Dara has, I hope players feel the freedom to take their time, look around, and sit in the stillness of patience without penalties to find peace of mind. The demo provides a glimpse, but the full launch has some magical surprises left in store.”
