Players have the ability to explore Sarkis’ various biomes in a singleplayer setting, privately with a group of friends, or in servers with up to 100 players.

Gather resources, craft your gear, and pick up a sword, fire a crossbow, or cast spells to defend the world against the rise of the undying. When you aren’t taking on the undead, you can fish, collect loot, and simply explore or interact with other players. All of these lead to your redemption and the uncovering of secrets in the vibrant and ever-evolving fantasy setting of Everlast: Undying Tale.

About Everlast: Undying Tale:

• A Storybook Tale: Play your part in stopping the surge of undying through deeds, both small and mighty.

• Explore a Bright Open World: Discover a vast and bright fantasy realm featuring a variety of landscapes to explore. From the bustling capital of Kal Crossing to the dismal Southern Swamps, there are hidden places and points of interest that will help you on your journey.  Take your time, wander off the beaten path, and find new ways to grow.
• Master Your Skills: Progress your character through leveling skills such as woodworking, occultism, fishing, and much more. Use the skills you master to improve your gear and more effectively gather resources, engage in combat, and progress through the story.
• Shared Dynamic Events: Work together for special events and tasks, and to help breathe life back into a world that has fallen into ruin. Ranging from massive harvests to epic battles, our server wide events allow for everyone to contribute as much or as little as they want. These events are player activated and will display as shared events on the in-game map and quest tracker. 

Everlast: Undying Tale is available now in Early Access on Steam with a 20% off discount to celebrate launch! Whether you want to play alone, with a group, or in an old-fashioned MMO-style server with up to 100 players, you’ll want to join the Discord to see what builds others are sharing, who may want to party up as you journey through Sarkis, and news on major updates coming to the game.

Retro Games Limited and PLAION REPLAI unveil original artwork created on an Amiga 1200 by renowned digital artist Klas Benjaminsson, launching a creative partnership with PosterSpy ahead of THEA1200TM’s release

Sydney, Australia, 28 October 2026: Retro Games Ltd and PLAION REPLAI have unveiled an original piece of digital artwork, ‘Beyond the Screen’, by renowned Amiga artist Klas Benjaminsson, created entirely on an original Amiga 1200, as part of a celebration of the computer’s extraordinary creative legacy.

Produced at a resolution of just 640 × 512 pixels using 32 colours, the artwork demonstrates the remarkable possibilities of a machine that helped inspire a generation of digital artists, musicians, animators and game developers in the early 1990s.  Drawing inspiration from the Amiga’s celebrated digital art heritage, including the iconic nature-inspired work of Jim Sachs, Klas’s creation brings together wildlife, lush vegetation and ocean life, bursting from the screen of an Amiga computer.

‘Beyond the Screen’ by Klas Benjaminsson

The piece captures a defining feeling of the Amiga era, that a computer in your bedroom could be a gateway to almost anything, and that the only real limit was your imagination.

Klas Benjaminsson said: “For me, the real magic of the Amiga was discovering just how much you could create with it. This artwork is a celebration of that sense of possibility, when your imagination really was the only limit. I started with pencil sketches on paper, before bringing everything to life using the creative tools of an original Amiga 1200. It’s been a real pleasure to revisit a time when creativity felt so personal and unrestricted, before the internet began shaping so much of what we see and create.”

FROM ONE GENERATION OF ARTISTS TO THE NEXT

The unveiling marks the beginning of a partnership with PosterSpy, the creative community renowned for its distinctive poster artwork. PosterSpy will invite artists from its community to take inspiration from Klas’s original creation, reimagining the spirit of Amiga creativity through their own contemporary styles, tools and techniques.

A small selection of artists will be chosen to develop original interpretations, with the finished works showcased as part of the THEA1200 launch campaign.

The collaboration celebrates not just the Amiga’s past, but its continuing influence on creative expression today.

PLAY. CREATE. IMAGINE.

Arriving on 4th December 2026, THEA1200 brings back the spirit of one of the most beloved home computers of the 1990s. The collaboration with Klas and PosterSpy reflects the philosophy behind THEA1200 – the Amiga was never just about playing games. It was also about creating something that was entirely your own.

Artists interested in participating can find further information and apply through PosterSpy – https://posterspy.com/thea1200/

About THE A1200: THEA1200 is a full-size recreation of the iconic Amiga 1200, launching 4th December 2026. Further information is available at plaionreplai.com.

About Klas Benjaminsson: Renowned Swedish pixel artist Klas Benjaminsson has been creating digital artwork since the early 1990s. A multiple award-winning artist and creator of The Masters of Pixel Art book series, Klas has spent more than three decades exploring the creative possibilities of classic computer hardware, particularly the Commodore Amiga. His work has helped preserve and celebrate the distinctive artistry of the Amiga generation.

“You don’t belong here anymore.” Is that so? My sledgehammer says otherwise.

A machine will never hate itself enough to become better, but do you love yourself enough to swing 20lbs of physical media through the stone walls and steel inhabitants of your home town? Of course you do.

It can be hard to go home again, especially when everyone you knew has been replaced by digital facsimiles wrapped in tin cans. They claim to want to live in peace, but they’re not alive and peace is the furthest thing from your mind. Tear it all down, and maybe come to terms with your own past in the process. If not, at least you took a swing at it.

Jordi de Paco, creative director at Deconstructeam, said: “Virtue and a Sledgehammer is a risky game, and we really hope people connect with its themes, despite its harshness. This game is explicitly traumatic. It deals with complicated family dynamics, and a lot of pent-up rage, which can be emotionally taxing. But, above all, it’s a game about love. Our ultimate goal is to make people think and feel, even at the risk of upsetting them!” 

Developed by Deconstructeam (Red Strings Club, Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood) and Selkie Harbour (Many Nights a Whisper), and published by Devolver Digital, Virtue and a Sledgehammer is about not belonging where you grew up and the explosive emotions only family can spark. If you don’t angry-cry at least once, you’re not playing it right.

Virtue and a Sledgehammer is available now on Steam, priced at €14.99. 

I still love you more than I hate you.
