The cross-play beta introduces the new Withered Knight class and offers a first look at the Mist Lord boss encounter ahead of the July 29 global launch. 

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2026. Bellring Games and publisher Skystone Games have officially launched the Mistfall Hunter Open Beta across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. This beta brings several major additions to the hunt: the newly playable Withered Knight class, the new Hallowgrave map, and the first public look at the Mist Lord boss, Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane. These are live and playable now, ahead of the game’s full launch on July 29, 2026.

Multi-Platform Open Beta Details

The Mistfall Hunter Open Beta is open to all players and lasts until 3AM PT on June 22nd. The Mistfall Hunter Open Beta represents the title’s first hands-on console availability, expanding testing to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S alongside PC. The open beta supports full cross-play functionality for players on the same server, allowing players to experience the game’s high-stakes extraction mechanics either solo or in three-player cooperative squads ahead of launch.

The Withered Knight, Now Playable

Originally elite protectors of the Kingdom of Gaenaria, the Withered Knights are exiled warriors wielding two-handed greatswords. Designed for mid-range spacing and calculated counter-offensives, the class introduces a unique sigil-and-detonation combat loop.

Core kit:

• Withering Sigils + Reckoning: Affixes marks to targets mid-combat, allowing players to detonate them for burst AOE damage and battlefield control. 
• Parry:  A high-risk, timing-dependent defensive mechanic that neutralizes incoming attacks and creates immediate counter-offensive windows. 
• Thorn Guide:  A tactical grappling ability that pulls high-priority targets out of enemy formations, exposing them to team focus. 
• Withering Talent: A flexible progression tier allowing players to specialize either in sustained crowd control or high-impact frontline disruption. 

New Boss Encounter: Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane

Players can now challenge Mistfall Hunter’s latest high-tier boss, Sálmar, the Cursed Moonwane. Positioned as one of the environment’s most demanding end-game encounters, the battle requires strict coordination to overcome.

The Hallowgrave Map

The update introduces Hallowgrave, a highly vertical map set within a bleached, desolated forest. This new zone features distinct sub-regions that alter tactical engagements:

• The Divine Anchor: A central point of interest featuring high enemy density drawn to a powerful relic.
• Hastine’s Fall: A coastal highland zone featuring open sightlines and varied terrain elevation, where a giant’s corpse still radiates with divine strength.
• Witchery Woods: A dense, close-quarters forested area that limits visibility and emphasizes stealth and close-range skirmishes, where Gyldhunters must survive its ghostly secrets to confront the devastating power of a false god.

The Gylden Rush Event

Exclusively available during the Open Beta, the Gylden Rush calls upon hunters to secure the rare “Golden Cipher.” These coveted items can be found within the remains of fallen foes or hidden deep in chests scattered across the realm. Cracking a cipher provides a shot at prestigious spoils, from specialized Gyldhunter Badges to Deluxe and Standard Edition Steam Keys. Lucky hunters may even unlock the Golden Woodling headpiece, the “Strike It Rich” emote, and other rare treasures to bolster their arsenal.

Paint, customize, import models, and run an online miniature painting shop in a new Steam Next Fest demo

Bradford, England (June 15, 2026) | Today, developer Swain Games announced that Miniature Painter Simulator is participating in Steam Next Fest with a playable demo available from June 15–22 on Steam. Ahead of its full launch later this year, the demo invites players to experience the creativity of miniature painting in a digital space, whether they want to run a growing hobby business or simply paint at their own pace.

Watch the latest trailer for Miniature Painter Simulator:

Miniature Painter Simulator is designed for anyone who has ever wanted to try miniature painting but lacked the time, space, supplies, or confidence to get started. Instead of buying paints, brushes, models, tools, and accessories in real life, players can settle into a fully digital hobby bench where they can paint, customize, and experiment freely.

In the game’s shop-management mode, players run their own online miniature painting shop, taking on client requests to clean, repair, paint, and customize miniatures. Completed jobs earn in-game currency that can be spent on new models, paints, accessories, workshop upgrades, and improved tools, creating a satisfying loop of creative work and shop progression.

For players who want to focus entirely on painting, free-painting mode removes jobs, time constraints, and in-game currency management. Customization extends beyond paint, with grass, boulders, and other scenic base details helping players create diorama-style pieces. Players can also import custom models through Steam Workshop or directly in-game, then export painted textures to edit manually or share with friends.

Miniature Painter Simulator Key Features

• Try Miniature Painting Digitally: Experience the hobby without needing real-world paints, brushes, models, workspace, or prior experience. 
• Run an Online Miniature Painting Shop: Take on client jobs, clean and repair miniatures, fulfill requests, sell finished work, and use in-game earnings to upgrade the shop. 
• Paint Without Pressure: Jump into free-painting mode to focus entirely on painting, decorating, and experimenting. 
• Add the Finishing Touches: Decorate bases with grass, boulders, and scenic elements to create more personalized miniatures. 
• Import Custom Models: Bring custom miniatures into the game through Steam Workshop or direct in-game importing. 
• Export and Share Creations: Export painted miniature textures, manually edit them, or send them to friends.

“Miniature painting has always been a passion of mine, but getting started can feel intimidating,” said Ben Swain, Lead Developer at Swain Games. “The Steam Next Fest demo gives players a chance to sit down at the digital hobby bench, experiment at their own pace, and discover the fun of painting miniatures without worrying about supplies, space, or getting everything perfect.”

Players can download the Miniature Painter Simulator demo during Steam Next Fest from June 15–22 and wishlist the game now on Steam

Montreal, June 15th, 2026 – Panache Digital Games and acclaimed game creator Patrice Désilets have released the first episode of Behind the Shadows, a new Developer Diary series dedicated to the making of 1666: Amsterdam.

Titled “The Vision: The Real City That Became a Myth” this inaugural episode takes viewers behind the creative vision of the game, exploring how the team transformed the real streets of Amsterdam into a world shaped by mystery, superstition, and hidden truths.

Featured in the video:

• Patrice Désilets – Co-Founder & Creative Director
• Jean-François Boivin – Co-Founder & Executive Producer
• Éléa Gadéa – Researcher & Marketing Coordinator
• Maxime Fortin – Senior Level Designer

The diary reveals how the entire studio travelled to Amsterdam in 2024 to study the city’s streets, canals, architecture, sounds, and atmosphere firsthand. Rather than relying solely on historical references, the team immersed themselves in the city’s environment to better understand its scale, rhythm, and character.

Viewers will also learn more about the game’s exploration systems, including the ability to enter houses, traverse rooftops, and navigate the city alongside a feline companion, creating multiple opportunities for discovery and player choice.

Filmed at the historic Château Ramezay in Old Montreal, the first Developer Diary marks the beginning of a new series that will provide regular insights into the development of 1666: Amsterdam.

Key Quotes

“Inviting the studio to Amsterdam was, at its core, about sharing something. We gathered everyone and said: come into your game. Come experience it the way I did.”
Patrice Désilets, Co-Founder & Creative Director

“Looking at references online is one thing. Being there in person, seeing the proportions, feeling the textures and atmosphere, that’s something entirely different.”
Jean-François Boivin, Co-Founder & Executive Producer

“The player can explore every available house in the neighbourhood, enter through a window with their cat, move across rooftops, and discover entirely different opportunities depending on how they choose to approach the city.”
Maxime Fortin, Senior Level Designer

1666: Amsterdam is set to launch in Early Access on PC in 2026, with console versions planned for a later date. Players eager to follow this journey can now wishlist the game on Steam and the Epic Games Store. For more information about Panache Digital Games please visit the official website here.

“We’ve spent the past year watching players turn Doloc Town into something far more personal than we ever imagined, and Workshop support is our way of giving that creativity even more room to grow,” said developer team at RedSaw Games “After all the feedback, support, and creativity we’ve seen throughout Early Access, we feel ready to move into the next stage of development and are excited for what’s ahead with the upcoming 1.0 release.”

With the full release now on the horizon, set to introduce a new map, farming automation, and the conclusion of the main story, Doloc Town’s base price will be increased after the current promotional period ends. A limited-time 10% discount is available until June 25th at 1 AM PDT, offering players one final opportunity to purchase the game at its lowest price before the increase.

An all-new spin on a Wii U™ cult classic!

Kyoto, Japan – June 15th, 2026 – Kumogami is thrilled to announce the release of Super Scram Kitty, a new action game for Nintendo Switch™! Super Scram Kitty’s unique blend of 2D platforming and shoot-em-up action sends players on a zero-gravity quest to rescue stranded cats and bring down the plans of an evil corporation!

Sci-Fi Mouse Mania

The world of Super Scram Kitty is in peril from the ill-conceived plans of crazed billionaires! Intent on eternal life, the super-rich have devised a way to split their consciousnesses into tiny fragments and store them until they can be reassembled in the future. How do they store them, you might wonder. Why, in our close genetic relative, the humble mouse, of course! The megacorporation Nezu-Me has filled its space station with legions of cloned Brain Mice to keep their shareholders’ selfish thoughts forever, but when the mice start to exhibit that same selfish behavior, the station is quickly overrun. It’s up to the game’s hero to jump on a magnetic ‘Spinboard’, ride the rails and put everything right!

Revolutionary Gameplay

Super Scram Kitty is an arcade action game with a distinctive, rotation-based style. Bound and smash in any direction across more than twenty five vibrant stages, skillfully thrust from rail to rail, collecting vital energy and seeking out stranded cats before ultimately taking on the giant server at the core of the Nezu-Me project.

SS5 Summer Surprise runs to 10 August

Shanghai, China — June 11, 2026 | XD Games is thrilled to announce that the new Etheria: Restart season – SS5 Summer Surprise – begins today and will run to 10 August 2026. In addition to five new playable Animus, this brand new season will usher in a new difficulty option, a new boss fight, and an in-game community-led build recommendation system.

Watch the SS5 Summer Surprise trailer below:

To lend a helping hand to new players coming into the world of Etheria: Restart, the Main Quest UI has been overhauled in favour of a streamlined, more understandable linear stage path featuring the prologue and main story missions. Main Quest now has a new Hard Mode, too, which will provide a difficulty spike for players seeking more of a test, as well as greater rewards for those who complete challenges.

As part of Summer Surprise, the Grim Pursuit challenge mode is getting a new boss in the form of Vespera. By taking on the Doom Sea adversary, players can obtain powerful Module Matrices: Overflow grants a shield to all allies at the beginning of a battle; Profanation deals increased damage to shielded targets; Virulent Toxin depletes an enemy’s HP after a debuff has been successfully applied; Chasing Dawn boosts a player’s Turn Meter after using non-offensive skills; Unyielding Oath increases damage reduction; and Ebullition Strike raises attack power when repeatedly striking the same enemy within a single turn.

Watch the SS5 preview below:

From today, every Grim Pursuit stage that drops Mythic Shells will also have a new extra-hard Abyss difficulty option, which will allow players to farm Shells directly. However, once the new Matrices go live, players will be able to equip them onto the Mythic Shells they already own, meaning they can upgrade their current gear from the beginning of Summer Surprise.

Before SS5, very basic gear recommendations for Animus appeared on the upgrade screen. This feature has been completely reworked in favour of something much deeper: Strategy Guides. Players looking for tips can now inspect the Animus builds of others via the Guides Plaza; alternatively, they can help others by sharing their own. This will aid players looking for the best combination of Shells, Module Matrices, and Imprint Components for their chosen Animus.

Watch the New Animus Nathenn trailer below:

Five new Animus will join Etheria: Restart during SS5, starting today with Nathenn and Sylvia. The kinetic HP-based damage dealer Nathenn — the Fifth Warden of Elysian — can break through enemy lines with ease thanks to his high speed stats; artist Sylvia, meanwhile, is a support Animus, capable of simultaneously attacking an enemy with her brush, while reducing the skills cooldown of allies. 

Additional Animus will come to Etheria: Restart throughout SS5, such as priestess pharmacologist Areal, who will be available from 2 July. The final Animus drop of this season comes on 23 July, with the arrival of Piayera and Danvery. Further details on these characters will be revealed closer to their respective dates on Etheria: Restart’s social channels.

Watch the New Animus Sylvia trailer below:

For more on everything mentioned above, as well as news on skins, outfits, and the new Ruin Hegemony boss rush mode coming later this season, you can watch the Hypertalk Ep. 8: SS5 Season Preview on the official Etheria: Restart YouTube channel. Additionally, you can check out the full patch notes and balance adjustments for SS5 on the official website.

Etheria: Restart is available to play for free now on PC, iOS, and Android.
