The latest MiG fighter jet joins War Thunder battles

0

MiG-35 and F-102A Delta Dagger jets, Mahan-class destroyer, an original Indonesian tank and dozens of other new military vehicles join the battlefield

Gaijin Entertainment announces that Sky Odyssey, the latest major content update for the military online action game War Thunder, is available now. Alongside the content revealed earlier, the update brings an even more diverse selection of military machines, ranging from the advanced member of the MiG-29 family and a distinctive Cold War interceptor to a Franco-German experimental main battle tank and a modern Indonesian light tank.

Finally, Naval Enduring Confrontation, Bullet Hell and fan-favorite Nuclear Escalation temporary events after a series of tests and improvements became new full-fledged permanent modes, marking a major new step for War Thunder gameplay evolution.

The MiG-35 combines the speed and maneuverability associated with the MiG-29 family with significantly more advanced avionics and weaponry. It features an active electronically scanned array radar with a wide field of view, a missile approach warning system and laser warning system, as well as a targeting pod for laser-guided weapons. Its air-to-air arsenal includes up to eight R-77-1 active radar homing missiles, while ground and naval targets can be engaged with weapons including Kh-38ML missiles, Grom-2 glide weapons and the new Kh-35U anti-ship missile.

At the other end of the jet era, F-102A Delta Dagger offers a very different style of aerial combat. The world’s first mass-produced supersonic delta-wing interceptor arrives for both the USA and Israel, with the latter receiving a Greek modification. The Delta Dagger has no guns whatsoever: instead, it can carry up to six AIM-4 Super Falcon air-to-air missiles, including infrared- and semi-active radar-guided variants, together with 24 unguided rockets housed in the missile bay doors. Its unusual armament encourages pilots to exploit the aircraft’s speed, strike quickly and disengage before the enemy can respond.

Tankers can take command of the EMBT, an experimental European Main Battle Tank combining the chassis of the German Leopard 2A7 with the turret of the French Leclerc S2. Available at Rank VIII for both Germany and France, the EMBT combines strong mobility and armor with a long-barreled 120 mm gun, an automatic loader and OFL 120 F1 APFSDS ammunition. Its Leopard-derived powerplant and comparatively low weight make it particularly mobile for a modern main battle tank, allowing it to perform both aggressive pushes and defensive maneuvers.

The Harimau brings a modern Indonesian light tank to the Japanese ground forces tree. Designed for mobility, reconnaissance and support, it features a tracked chassis, modern thermal imaging equipment, a laser warning system and laser rangefinder. Its Cockerill turret houses a 105 mm rifled gun with an automatic loader and access to DM63 APFSDS ammunition. The Harimau’s light protection makes head-on engagements risky, but its mobility, compact profile and rapid reload make it well suited to flanking, capturing objectives and supporting heavier vehicles.

Sky Odyssey is available now in War Thunder. More information about the update and the complete list of changes can be found on the official War Thunder website.

OF PEAKS AND TIDES – REDEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF SURVIVAL CRAFTING

0

UE5 Fantasy Open-World Adventure Combines Chinese Mythology, Dynamic Ecosystems and Emergent Physics-Driven Gameplay

China – September 21, 2026 – Following a year of intensive development since its original reveal, Of Peaks and Tides, developed by CyancookGames, returns with a significantly expanded vision of survival crafting. Built in Unreal Engine 5 and inspired by the mythology and creatures of ancient China, the fantasy open-world sandbox adventure combines survival, exploration, construction and combat with a highly reactive world where players are encouraged to create their own solutions.

Built around the philosophy of Boundless Creativity, Imaginative Combat, Of Peaks and Tides puts the environment itself in the player’s hands. Natural disasters can become weapons, giant creatures can become mobile bases, and almost anything in the world can be used in unexpected ways.

ENTER THE WORLD OF EVERLAND

Of Peaks and Tides takes players into Everland, a vast world inspired by Eastern mythology. Once connected to the gods, the land was shattered after a conflict between Heaven and Earth severed their connection, leaving humanity abandoned and civilisation in ruins.

Players awaken as the Nolands, beginning with nothing and setting out to survive, explore and uncover the secrets of a forgotten world. Gathering resources, building and fighting are just the beginning, as players gradually uncover the remnants of lost civilisations and ultimately confront the gods who abandoned humanity.

Boundless Creativity, Imaginative Combat

Powered by Unreal Engine 5’s highly reactive physics systems, Of Peaks and Tides is designed around emergent gameplay, allowing players to experiment with the environment rather than relying on fixed solutions.

Sandstorms and blizzards can influence combat. Plants can be used to trap giant creatures or manipulate their movements. Tamed beasts can carry mobile bases, while enormous flying creatures can transport players across the world.

In a world where everyday objects and unconventional creations can become weapons, the result is a survival experience where imagination and experimentation can be just as important as traditional tools and equipment.

Eastern Mythology, Reimagined

Move beyond the familiar settings of survival crafting and explore a world inspired by the mythology and creatures of ancient China. From Fuzhu and Little Taotie to Mischievous Monkeys and the Giant Xi, Everland is populated by creatures inspired by Shan Hai Jing, creating a distinctive fantasy ecosystem.

A World Where Anything Can Be a Weapon

The game’s physics-driven systems encourage players to experiment with the objects and resources around them. From berry hammers to beehive hammers, unexpected combinations can become surprisingly effective weapons, even against powerful bosses.

Nature Is Part of the Battle

Sandstorms and blizzards aren’t simply environmental hazards. Players can exploit natural disasters and changing conditions to disrupt enemies, reshape encounters and turn the environment to their advantage.

Build on the Back of a Giant Beast

Bases don’t have to stay in one place. Players can tame enormous creatures and construct mobile bases on their backs, while giant flying beasts provide another way to explore and cross Everland.

A Living Ecosystem

Creatures hunt, hide and respond to their surroundings rather than simply waiting for players to attack. Combined with the game’s dynamic environments, this creates encounters that can unfold differently depending on what is happening around them.

Explore a World of Myth and Lost Civilisations

From Cangmu Source and lush forests to vast deserts and snow-covered peaks, Everland offers a diverse range of biomes to explore, each bringing its own challenges and discoveries as players journey across the world. 

A YEAR OF DEVELOPMENT

Since its reveal last year, the development team has spent a full year refining and expanding Of Peaks and Tides following strong interest from players and media worldwide.

The latest version features more dynamic environments, enhanced visual effects, expanded environmental interactions, and larger-scale boss encounters, representing a substantial evolution from the original reveal.

The two-day offline hands-on event in Shanghai gave more than 500 local players their first chance to experience these developments in person, and to release new gameplay footage and material from the latest version, covering systems including but not limited to crafting, natural disasters, and the road-and-bridge system. Many have since shared their own gameplay footage on local channels.

Developed by Kenny Sun and Friends and published by Devolver Digital, two-million-selling roguelite BALL x PIT is a ball-bouncing, time-devouring smash hit – but the journey is far from over. Prepare yourself, and your balls, for paid expansion Risen Ballbylon.
 
Risen Ballbylon is the biggest and most transformative expansion for BALL x PIT yet, adding a wealth of new characters, balls, passives, enemies, bosses, buildings, and levels, dramatically expanding the possibilities of a run and introducing fresh new gameplay mechanics to test even the most hardened veterans of the pit. Will you rise to the challenge?
 
You’re used to the lift descending into the depths of the pit – but now it’s going up. Rise above the abyss to reach Risen Ballbylon, which floats high in the sky above. Each level is a layer of the former city, where the population has been warped by the effects of the meteor.

*NOTE: The content of this expansion is only accessible after completion of the base game.

NEW FRONTIERS
When you ascend to Risen Ballbylon you’ll get to explore 4 new battlefields – each with their own fearsome new bosses – and battle over 40 new enemies.

BALLS TO THE WALL
Risen Ballbylon also adds 24 new balls to the game to experiment with and create powerful, game-changing fusions. These include the Beast ball, which latches onto enemies and damages them until they die, the Kaiju ball, which causes earthquakes, the Misfortune ball, which curses enemies, and the deadly, spiky Hedgehog ball.
 
BASE INSTINCT
Base-building has also been radically expanded in Risen Ballbylon, with 20 new buildings to expand your village. Build a Floating Fortress, Crystal Monolith, Soup Kitchen, Circus Tent, Fission Chamber, and other strange structures as you expand your base and mine for crystals – a new resource that adds additional complexity to the game’s economy.

WANE, an Occult Turn-Based RPG Where Your Memory is Your Map, Revealed in the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct

0

Journey through the fractured memories of a fading archaeologist as you build your party and uncover the secrets buried within the realm of Ravelle. 

Istanbul, Türkiye (September 20, 2026) – You’ve been invited inside a haunted mind, as Metis Creative unveils WANE, an occultish turn-based RPG set against the backdrop of an industrial noir world. Published in partnership with Shoreline Games, WANE follows Declan Wayne, a fading archaeologist tormented by his fading sense of self. As Declan turns inward, he must traverse the corridors of his mind, a labyrinth drawn from memory, distorted by regret, and guarded by what he cannot let go.

Watch the reveal trailer:

“Metis Creative has the kind of imagination that makes you want to pay attention to whatever they’re working on next,” said Keith Kawamura, CEO of Shoreline Games. “Having already had the chance to work with the team once before, we knew firsthand just how thoughtful and inventive they are. WANE is a fantastic example of that creativity, and from the moment we saw what the team was creating, we knew we wanted to help bring it to players. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Metis again and finally begin sharing WANE with the world.”

“Metis Creative has found success in our ability to produce high-quality, original visuals that match a deep and engaging narrative across several award-winning tabletop games,” said Sarp Duyar, CEO of Metis Creative. “Our vision with WANE is to continue that tradition across a totally new medium for us and push the boundaries of our creativity.”

In WANE, players take on the role of Declan Wayne, a fading archaeologist whose fractured memories have transformed his cerebral realm of Ravelle into a shifting labyrinth of trauma, obsession, and regret. Players recruit adventurers, build a three-person party, and descend through three distinct biomes in grid-based tactical combat shaped by attrition, random encounters, and boss battles.

Between expeditions, players return to an antiquarian shop to appraise and sell relics, upgrade facilities, and fund the next run. As the roguelike cycle continues, new synergies, shortcuts, and permanent buffs open up while the story unfolds through repeated journeys deeper into Ravelle.

Key Features of WANE:

  • Memory is the Map – Ravelle is a labyrinth built from Declan’s deteriorating memories, with his defining moments, traumas, obsessions, and regrets shaping the path forward… and reshaping it entirely. 
  •  Tactical Turn-Based Combat – Fight through grid-based tactical encounters built around positioning, cover and line of sight, with the uncertainty of percentage-based attacks. 
  • Rule of Three – Descend through the Ravellian Sanatorium, the Palace of Arvanshah, and the Death Pilgrimage to Erabel, each of the three biomes connected to Ravelle’s history and Declan’s fractured memories. 
  • Run the Shop – Bring relics back from expeditions to appraise and auction in Declan’s antiquarian shop, using the proceeds to upgrade facilities and fund future runs. 
  • A Story Told Through Repetition – WANE’s narrative unfolds across repeated expeditions, revealing more of its characters and Declan’s story with each run. 

WANE is currently in development for PC. Additional details and a release date will be announced at a later date.

Arena mode lets you take the fight to the high seas! Enjoy asynchronous PvP and battle a ‘ghost fleet ’on your own time, or gather your crew and invite your mates to clash in a real-time lobby.

  • Utilize a series of “illegal” tactics: recruit notorious pirates, capture cursed deep-sea fish, and play legendary cheat hands.
  • 100+ “Treasure” Skills: All pirates draw power from the same deck, creating hundreds of unique playing styles.
  • 60+ Pirate Heroes: Each captain offers a unique starting strategy and economy modifier.
  • Limitless Build Variety: Want to combine a “High-Card Sniper” build with a “Flush Bomber” strategy? The possibilities are endless!
  • 40+ Exotic Fish: These special “treasures” provide permanent, game-breaking buffs offering even more strategic choices.
