GOG Preservation Program brings the big box nostalgia

• Star Trek: 25th Anniversary • Armikrog • Big Box Collection • Printable Big Boxes •

September 8th, 2026, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Armikrog are the two newest additions to the GOG Preservation Program. They’re joined by three games already maintained by the program — Descent, Hitman: Codename 47, and Myst — all five of which are part of this wave together — and this time, we’re preserving more than just the code.

Here’s what’s new: every one of these five games now comes with an interactive 3D scan of its real, physical box art. We had the actual boxes scanned — front, back, spine, the works — and turned into rotatable 3D models you can download after purchase and open right in the 3D viewer that’s already built into Windows and Mac. No extra software, no plugins. Just spin the box around on your screen like you’re holding it.

And if you’d rather hold the real thing, we’ve got you covered there too. In collaboration with Big Box Collection — a one-person passion project that’s been turning real game boxes into 3D scans since 2015 — we’re delivering flat, printable versions of the same box art, so you can cut, fold, and glue your own physical big box at home. A proper papercraft project for anyone who misses shelves full of PC game boxes. If you want to know more about this amazing project, take a look at the exclusive interview with its creator HERE.

Physical media doesn’t survive the way software can — boxes get lost, crushed, thrown out. Scanning them, and letting you print your own, is preservation in a different shape: the same mission that keeps these games running on modern PCs, applied to the objects they used to come in.

If no one gives you the choice to own a physical copy, take matters into your own hands — and paired with GOG’s DRM-free installers, no one can ever take the games you paid for away from you.

About the GOG Preservation Program

The GOG Preservation Program is an official stamp on classic games that GOG has improved, with a commitment from GOG to maintain their compatibility.

Crossout begins a new season with naval firepower, air cushions and battles in the dark

The “New Horizon” update brings new weapons and vehicle parts, unusual PvP brawls, additional battle scenarios and a redesigned storage interface

Gaijin Entertainment announces the launch of “New Horizon,” a new season in the post-apocalyptic online action game Crossout. This time, the Engineers, Steppenwolfs and Scavengers are forced to join forces against the treacherous Aris and the Ravagers. Survivors can unlock a new collection of vehicle parts and weapons, experiment with new combat builds, take part in a series of unusual brawls and encounter additional scenarios in regular PvP battles.

One of the most unusual additions of the season is the “MVP Flagship” air cushion, a massive new car part capable of carrying armored cars across the battlefield at speeds of up to 70 km/h. Its perk increases cabin power when enemies are nearby, making it especially useful for aggressive builds that prefer to fight right in the middle of the action.

The new arsenal also includes the “Smasher” cannon, which fires enormous naval cannonballs. During the first 125 metres of flight, the projectile gradually gains damage and impulse, rewarding survivors who can line up powerful long-range shots. The “ATGM Cornet” launcher, meanwhile, fires manoeuvrable missiles guided by a laser designator. Pilots can also release the guidance early to split the projectile into four explosive fragments, giving the weapon an alternative way to attack targets over a small area. There is also the MPR-8 “Slice” radar capable of periodically detecting concealed and invisible opponents, and the heavy “Wildhog” cabin, whose bonuses change depending on whether nearby allies or enemies outnumber each other.

“New Horizon” also launches a succession of special PvP brawls. For example, in the new “No signal” mode, player names and minimap icons disappear, while friendly fire is enabled. The color of an armored car becomes the only reliable way to distinguish friend from foe, so identifying the target before pulling the trigger is just as important as good aim. The new “Blind fire” brawl takes visibility problems even further: every participant is invisible. Firing a weapon, activating a module, taking damage or colliding with something reveals the vehicle, while attentive players can still hunt invisible rivals by listening for sounds and watching for dust clouds. At certain moments, everyone is temporarily revealed, turning careful stalking into an instant firefight.

The “New Horizon” season and its Battle Pass will remain available through November 25. The Deluxe Battle Pass has also been expanded with instant access to recipes for upgraded seasonal parts, additional Bearings and other bonuses.

More information is available on the official Crossout website.

Naula Studio Announces Necro Pop, a New 16-Bit “Arcadevania” Built for Neo Geo and Coming to Modern Platforms in 2027

Ghostly action platformer combines fast-paced arcade combat, dungeon exploration and vibrant pixel art, with a playable version coming to Tokyo Game Show 2026

Andorra – September 8, 2026. Independent developer Naula Studio today announced Necro Pop, an all-new action platformer that combines the fast-paced action of classic arcade games with dungeon exploration, character abilities and replayable challenges in a genre the team affectionately calls “Arcadevania.” Built from the ground up for the legendary Neo Geo MVS arcade board and AES home console platforms, Necro Pop will also launch digitally for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and Steam, with releases planned for 2027.

Alongside today’s announcement, Naula Studio has released the first trailer for Necro Pop, providing a first look at its colourful 16-bit world, frenetic combat and ghostly protagonist, Poppi.

As well as the announcement trailer reveal, players can also play Necro Pop for themselves with a free demo available now on Steam. The demo gives players a taste of the game’s fast-paced Arcadevania action, showcasing its core mechanics, characters and abilities through the complete third level of the game. It offers an early opportunity to experience Poppi’s adventure firsthand and discover how combat, movement and exploration come together across the game’s dungeons.

Players will also get their first opportunity to go hands-on with Necro Pop at Tokyo Game Show 2026, where Naula Studio will showcase a playable version of the game from September 17–21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

Welcome to Ghostreach

In Necro Pop, players take control of Poppi, a ghost who finds herself caught in a battle against an evil darkness known as The Gloam. Having spread across the land of Ghostreach, The Gloam has trapped friendly ghosts throughout the world, leaving Poppi to set out on a mission to free them. Everything changes when Poppi discovers an ancient amulet that grants her a corporeal form. Armed with her newfound physical abilities, she sets out to push back The Gloam, explore the dungeons of Ghostreach and rescue her ghostly friends.

As players progress, they will discover new abilities, upgrades and secrets across multiple replayable dungeons, opening up new ways to approach both combat and exploration.

Arcade Action Meets Dungeon Exploration

Naula Studio describes Necro Pop as “Arcadevania”, a fusion of the immediate, pick-up-and-play action of classic arcade games with exploration, progression and secrets. Poppi has an arsenal of attacks and abilities at her disposal, giving players the freedom to decide how they want to tackle enemies and navigate the game’s challenges.

Players can strike enemies by charging up attacks for increased impact, unleash magical strikes such as fireballs, blow bubbles to assist with movement and even pogo across enemies. A mysterious minion may also join Poppi on her journey, providing another potential tool in the fight against The Gloam. Rather than locking players into a single approach, Necro Pop encourages experimentation, allowing different attacks, magic and movement abilities to be combined as players make their way through Ghostreach’s dungeons.

A New Game for a Classic Platform

At the heart of Necro Pop is Naula Studios’ passion for classic pixel art and Neo Geo hardware. Developed specifically for the Neo Geo MVS arcade board and AES home console, Necro Pop showcases vibrant, cartoon-inspired pixel art designed to bring its ghostly cast and world to life.

The game’s colourful visual style takes advantage of the Neo Geo’s capabilities to create a rich 16-bit world filled with expressive characters, enemies and environments that players can explore again and again.

While created with Neo Geo hardware at its core, Necro Pop will also bring its distinctive Arcadevania gameplay to modern audiences, with digital versions planned for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam in 2027.

Play Necro Pop at Tokyo Game Show 2026

Naula Studio will showcase a hands-on playable version of Necro Pop at Tokyo Game Show 2026, taking place from September 17–21 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

Visitors and media attending the show will be able to get their first hands-on experience with Necro Pop, exploring its fast-paced Arcadevania gameplay, testing Poppi’s varied combat and movement abilities, and discovering the vibrant pixel-art world of Ghostreach.

Maximum Entertainment Announces In Control: Rocketry, a Rocket Building and Space Exploration Simulator 

Coming to PC in 2027

Stockholm, Sweden — September 8, 2026 | Maximum Entertainment today announced In Control: Rocketry, a spaceflight simulator developed by Electromechanical Softworks. The game gives players complete control over every aspect of an orbital journey, from bolting together the rocket to wiring the panel that steers it. Coming to PC via Steam, In Control: Rocketry is built on realistic physics and propulsion systems, and asks one simple question: could you actually fly this thing?

Watch the In Control: Rocketry reveal trailer below:

In Control: Rocketry has players design a spacecraft from thrusters, fuel tanks and capsules, then build the control panel that operates it, wiring together sensors, inputs and outputs before testing the whole assembly and adjusting until it holds its flight path. Once airborne, players fly the craft themselves: working the panel, managing resources, and steering toward a destination using real orbital mechanics.

In Control: Rocketry features:

  • Construct Your Rocket: Combine thrusters, fuel tanks and capsules into a spacecraft, where every part’s purpose and mass changes how it flies.
  • Wire Your Own Control Panels: Connect sensors, inputs and outputs to make the rocket fly. 
  • Explore a Solar System: Orbit an Earth-like planet, travel to its moon, and journey to the far reaches of space landing, or crashing, onto strange new worlds, each with its own challenges and puzzles.

Progress unlocks genuine rocket and control panel parts that open up new destinations, while asteroids can be redirected and mined for resources. Missions run both unmanned and manned, the latter adding life support to everything else a pilot is already juggling. For players who would rather experiment than plan, Sandbox Mode is a place to test rocket ideas, practice flying, or build purely for the fun of it.

In Control: Rocketry will release on PC via Steam in 2027. For more information, visit maximument.com/games/incontrolrocketry or follow @MaximumEntmt on X.

RECOVER YOUR PAST IN ATELIER KARIA: THE NIGHT KINGDOM & THE GUIDE OF MEMORIES, RELEASING 25TH FEBRUARY 2027

Fans can discover new gameplay details about the adventure that awaits them!

Hertfordshire, 8th September 2026 – Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Gust have unveiled more information about the latest title in the acclaimed Atelier series, Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories. Fans will make their return to the continent of Aladiss alongside Karia, armed with an arsenal of unique abilities as well as improved battles, exploration, and renewed synthesis. A new trailer has also been unveiled, giving insight into the adventures to come. Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories is currently in development and is scheduled to release on 25th February 2027 on Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, Windows PC via Steam® and XBOX Series X|S.

Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories will introduce players to amnesiac alchemist Karia and her companions Servio Lektor, Fina Rozen, and fellow alchemist Yumia Liessfeldt. Players will also encounter additional allies along the way including Noelk Schreiber, an aloof inspector from the Eustellan Bureau of Alchemical Relic Control, and Celes, a woman who appears calm and collected but has a peculiar side of her personality. Together, they endeavour to explore Aladiss’ mysterious underworld and uncover its secret.

Players will be able to utilise style changes which will enable Karia to awaken new powers while altering both Karia’s appearance and her fighting style, allowing players to adapt to the combat encounter they are facing. Over eight styles, including Ignis and Mermaid, will be accessible and can be unlocked throughout Karia’s journey by making progress with the main story, as well as eating meals. Ignis Style allows Karia to channel the element of fire, boosting her attack and imbuing skills with fire damage at the cost of lowering her defence and increasing her vulnerability to ice attacks. Comparatively, Mermaid Style allows Karia to use ice magic, increasing magic damage, but reducing Karia’s physical attack, making her weak to fire attacks. Once a style is unlocked, players will be able to employ them in battle by eating particular items, or during exploration, like breaking obstacles while dashing, and walking on water.

Exploration is further expanded through Interactive Field Actions, enabling players to utilise items to interact with the environment, opening up new ways to explore the world. Karia can throw items to gather ingredients and destroy obstacles from a distance, as well as delivering damage to enemies. In addition, obstacles can be overcome by utilising certain items in specific spots to activate gimmicks which respond differently depending on the element used; players can employ the items Flamme, Lehrune, Plajig, and Luft (fire, ice, electric, and air elements respectively) to activate gimmicks and manoeuvre through obstacles in unique ways. Using elemental items on certain gathering spots will also modify the ingredients that are collected due to Elemental Alteration, giving players freedom to experiment and make new discoveries.

Fans can enjoy the challenge of battles against colossal enemies in Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories, coordinating between a frontline and assault team phases to seize victory. During these colossal encounters, players will organise and switch between their teams, taking the enemies on directly during the Frontline Team Phase, and supporting by using structures around the map during the Assault Team Phase. By completing the objectives assigned to the frontline and assault teams, players can deplete the enemy’s morale gauge and gain the upper hand in battle. Objectives will be divided into primary and secondary objectives, with secondary objectives granting players aid from surrounding support structures, such as shelters, sonic cannons, and item launchers, as well as reducing enemy morale. Ignoring secondary objectives will benefit the enemy, therefore players must strategise and prioritise objectives carefully in order to defeat colossal enemies.

Alchemy and synthesis will remain a key component in this title, and fans will enjoy a renovated synthesis system combining strategy and creativity when using the alchemy cauldron found in the depths of Aladiss. When synthesising, players will be able to connect the mana pieces of the ingredients in a recipe map while creating the patterns set by the recipe’s ingredients to unlock certain effects, which will change depending on the ingredients chosen and the way they are connected. Each ingredient can have several different piece shapes with effects, enabling players to work out which combination is the most effective. Likewise, there are multiple ways to connect ingredient pieces, which will alter the result of a recipe, or even change the item entirely if certain conditions are met.

Fans can prepare to embark on a journey to rediscover Karia’s lost past by pre-ordering the standard edition. Everyone who purchases the game by 10th March 2027 will receive the early purchase bonus “Noctrem Pioneering Preparation Set”, which is comprised of a special costume for Karia as well as the exclusive “Training Badge equipment”*.

Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories is currently in development and is scheduled for release on 25th February 2027 for Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, Windows PC via Steam® and XBOX Series X|S. The game will include Japanese voices with English, French, German and Spanish texts.

FARMING SIMULATOR 25: FREE PUMPS N’ HOSES PACK NOW AVAILABLE

  • Pack introduces umbilical systems, manure separation, and configurable biogas plants
  • More than 40 new items expand manure handling, storage, and energy production
  • Features specialist brands Schouten, Stallkamp, BvL, and 2G Energy

Free fan service for the game’s five million players that were recently reported: Publisher GIANTS Software releases the Pumps N’ Hoses Pack for Farming Simulator 25 free of charge. Developed by Creative Mesh, the pack expands agricultural operations with three distinct gameplay systems centered around efficient manure management and renewable energy production.

Three New Systems for More Efficient Farming

Pumps N’ Hoses introduces umbilical systems, manure separation, and configurable biogas plants to Farming Simulator 25. Together, these systems extend the infrastructure surrounding manure distribution, resource storage, and energy production with additional options for managing agricultural resources.

With umbilical systems, hoses can be attached and combined across the farm to supply ultra-light drag hose injectors in the field. This allows liquid manure to be distributed without relying on conventional slurry tankers during application.

Manure separation adds another step to resource management. Liquid and solid components can be separated to provide additional flexibility when storing and applying manure, allowing agricultural operations to make more efficient use of the available material.

Configurable Biogas Plants

The pack also expands biogas production by allowing plants to be configured according to individual operational requirements. Different components can be combined to establish a high-performing biogas facility tailored to the respective farm and its infrastructure.

More Than 40 New Items & Four Specialized Brands

New items from Dutch manufacturer Schouten, German steel storage specialist Stallkamp, biogas feeding technology manufacturer BvL and 2G Energy provide equipment and infrastructure for manure management, and biogas operations. Overall, more than 40 new machines, tools, buildings, and other items complement the new gameplay systems.

Farming Simulator 25 is available for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Pumps N’ Hoses Pack is released today free of charge. A Year 2 Season Pass with more new content is available, too, with savings of up to 30% compared to purchasing the content separately. GIANTS Software will also continue to release free content updates and user-generated content on the official ModHub. Visit the official Farming Simulator website.

Street Fighter 6 Welcomes Arjun to the Mat on October 13!

London (September 8, 2026) In today’s gameplay trailer, Arjun demonstrated how he’ll use Yoga Breathing techniques in his search for justice when he arrives in Street Fighter™ 6. Arjun will be the second character coming to Street Fighter 6 in Year 4 across PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch™ 2 on October 13, 2026. Additionally, New Challengers artwork and effects inspired by the Street Fighter™ movie arrives today in Street Fighter 6 for a limited time.

Watch the gameplay trailer showcasing Arjun’s cinematic mantra below, More infomation can be found on Street Fighter 6, visit the Street Fighter 6 website.

Arjun served as a police officer in India until the day his trusted partner was murdered, and Arjun was framed for the crime. Now he lives on the run, dedicating his every breath toward uncovering the mystery behind the death of his partner. Arjun’s Yoga Breathing techniques make him a stalwart powerhouse that sacrifices speed for powerful strikes capable of dealing recoverable damage to his opponent even after being blocked, devastating projectiles and clever traps that he combines to steal his opponent’s breath away in one fell swoop.

  • Arm of Justice: a versatile winding punch that saps his opponent’s energy with variants for different attack strengths and an optional Follow-up
  • Cruel Shoulder: a lunging forward shoulder tackle with different properties depending on the strength of the attack
  • Breathing Ring: a ring of air made through body and spirit that he can follow up with Breathing Shockwave to send the ring forward as a projectile at various angles
  • Divine Pillar: Arjun blows enough air into the ground to raise the ground into a pillar of earth, with the strength of the attack determining the distance and holding the button delays the pillar’s activation
  • Justice Beyond: Using Cruel Shoulder to contact an active Divine Pillar allows Arjun to grab the pillar and swing it at his opponent in any direction
  • Ghastly Interrogation: a command throw that only deals recoverable damage, but can deal normal damage if the opponent has already received recoverable damage
  • Indomitable defence: Arjun uses his yogic breathing to hyper oxygenate his muscles so he can turn any incoming melee strikes into counterattacks dealing recoverable damage
  • Moral Breakdown: While Indominable defence is engaged, Arjun throws both fists forward to deal recoverable damage on block or normal damage on hit
  • Howling Destruction: Arjun’s Level 1 Super Art mows down foes with quick bursts of his breathing technique
  • Instant Oblivion: Arjun’s Level 2 Super Art sends foes flying into the air and far away from him where he can set up a Divine Pillar
  • Yaksha’s Order: Arjun’s Level 3 Super Art sees him disrupt his opponent’s inner ear before he performs a cinematic devastating attack

Arjun will be unlocked on October 13 for players who own or purchase the Year 4 Character Pass or Year 4 Ultimate Pass. Arjun’s Outfit 1 depicts him while he is on the run in pursuit of vengeance, while Outfit 2 represents an idealized vision of Arjun that puts his quest for justice behind him.

Lead an Adorable Army, Defeat Demons in Mythmon: Mythic Monsters Today on PC

TOKYO — 7 September, 2026 — Mythmon: Mythic Monsters,a monster-taming hack-and-slash auto-battlerdeveloped by MachHabaneroGames and published by Kodansha Creators’ Lab, marches toward victory today on PC via Steam for $7.99 with a limited-time 10% discount until Sun, 20 Sept. 2026.

The Demon King and his hellish armies threaten to destroy an entire kingdom. Command a cadre of cute, ancient creatures known as Mythmon to halt their advances. Raise a roster of 30 unique Mythmon, pick five for every skirmish, and send squadrons out to restore peace to the land. Once the fight begins, Mythmon will follow their orders until one side falls. Victory belongs to the savviest commanders whose preparation leaves nothing to chance!

Manage the team’s attributes across nine elements including fire, ice, water and electric types. Shape each Mythmon’s growth by picking new skills as they level up, and calculate the perfect team for each mission according to their synergies. Boost attack power, attack speed, and apply on-hit status effects with 140+ pieces of offensive and defensive gear like swords, shields, staves, and wands. 

Individual strengths and matchup advantages win battles, but team synergies win the war. Certain Mythmon also receive special stat boosts depending on whether they hold the frontline, midline, or backline positions. Deploy each creature where they thrive to gain the upper hand.

Failing to plan is planning to fail! Do a bit of reconnaissance before the first clash; examine opponents’ loadouts before the fight begins to determine the best course of action, then emerge victorious and plunder the enemy’s resources and gear. A loss forfeits equipment to the enemy and strengthens the Demon King’s forces. Once peace descends on the kingdom, put seasoned Mythmon squadrons to the test in the endgame dungeon, where endless waves of advanced foes await veteran commanders.

Mythmon: Mythic Monsters is available now on PC via Steam for $7.99 with a limited-time 10% discount until Sun, 20 Sept. 2026. Language options include English and Japanese. For more information, follow MachHabaneroGames on X / Twitter.
