OLD SCHOOL RUNESCAPE MAKES A DEMONIC PACT WITH PLAYERS AND LAUNCHES LEAGUES VI TODAY

The return of the retro MMORPG’s most popular limited-time game mode begins today, enthralling players past and present to take part in the faster-paced game mode featuring new mechanics and refreshed progression.

Wednesday, 15th April 2026, Cambridge, UK – Jagex: The RuneScape Company has today unleashed Leagues VI, which runs for the next eight weeks. Entitled ‘Demonic Pacts’, the popular limited time game mode returns after two years to Old School RuneScape.

Hosted on separate worlds to the main game, and where everybody begins with a brand-new character, Leagues VI is a faster-paced mode of Old School RuneScape, with boosted XP rates, new mechanics, an all-new ‘demonic pacts’ skill tree, echo bosses and unique drops. Every choice made by players is both powerful and impactful, as they tailor their experience through theory crafting and creating a combination of buffs through the skill tree, relics and echo boss reward items, and utilise the mode’s accelerated power to create unique builds Old School RuneScape players have never experienced before. 

First announced in Old School RuneScape’s Winter Summit in January, Leagues VI sees players take on contracts set by Yama, the demonic Master of Pacts. Similar to previous instalments of the game mode, Demonic Pacts begins in a single region before further areas are unlocked as players complete tasks. As they do so, they’ll secure Trophy Points that convert into exclusive cosmetic rewards. Sticking with Leagues VI’s theme, these include a Home teleport animation where imps form a summoning circle and return you to the depths of Yama’s Lair, A Soul Reaper axe ornament kit that gives character their own Yama Axe, a custom Player Owned House throne that is a duplicate of Yama’s, Imp thralls and more for the player’s main account. 

“After a two-year break, Leagues is being devilishly summoned back with Demonic Pacts,” said Kieren Charles, Creative Director, Old School RuneScape. “For Old School RuneScape players who are currently AFK and have never played the mode, Leagues is the game they’ve loved for years dialled up to 11: Faster progression, a level playing field for all, and new gameplay mechanics that provide a fresh take on the Old School experience.”

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

DYNAMIC WEATHER CONDITIONS ARRIVE IN TOUR DE FRANCE 2026!

Lesquin, April 15, 2026 – Among this year’s new features, Tour de France 2026, developed by Cyanide Studio, integrates dynamic weather conditions! Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, the stages of the Grande Boucle gain realism with this new feature which impacts gameplay during races. Tour de France 2026 will be available on PC, PlayStation 5TM and Xbox Series X|S, on June 4, 2026.

Watch the new trailer showcasing the weather conditions of Tour de France 2026:

In Tour de France 2026, rain is a new important component and changes the way you play. The terrain becomes slippery and every turn or descent can cause a fall. To avoid a potential skid, you must adapt each trajectory and adjust braking distances. But be careful: break too heavily and the bike risks skidding, causing the rider to fall, which makes them lose crucial time that could cost them the victory! Rain requires players to pay more attention and have more controller control during rainy races. 

Agility plays a key role in avoiding falls. Each rider has an agility rating that makes a real difference during races in the rain. A rider with an A+ agility rating can take more permissive trajectories and has a longer window to recover their bike.

Before each race or stage, it is possible to consult the weather forecasts in the menus. But this indication does not exclude the element of surprise; the weather can change at any time. A stage can start under a clear sky but end in pouring rain, forcing players to adapt.

For stage races like the Tour de France, weather forecasts for the current stage and the next 3 days can be consulted to better anticipate the upcoming weather. The weather also depends on the time of the year.

Temperatures are also part of this new feature. Consultable in the menus and defined before the start of a stage, they influence the outfit worn by the riders. Under a blazing sun, short jerseys and shorts cycling bibs will be worn. While in cold weather, arm warmers and long cycling bibs will be essential.

Weather conditions are customizable in MyTour modes and private Criterium multiplayer games.

Official game of the eponymous competition, Tour de France 2026 faithfully reproduces the 21 new stages of the Grande Boucle, including emblematic locations such as the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the starting city of this new edition, and the Basilica of Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre in Paris to win the legendary yellow jersey. Players can embody iconic riders like Tadej Pogačar or Jonas Vingegaard, with their official jerseys and teams. This 2026 edition brings several new features with the addition of dynamic weather conditions and improvements for the game modes.

Find all information about Tour de France 2026 here. Tour de France 2026will be available on PlayStation 5TM, Xbox Series X|S and PC on June 4, 2026.

Helsinki, Finland – April 15th, 2026 – Channel37 proudly announces Update 3.5: Shadow Drop, a surprise Early Access update for The Last Caretaker, available now on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Update 3.5: Shadow Drop is the direct result of the game’s community feedback, and isn’t part of the game’s original six-update roadmap. After tracking player reports, crash logs, and various instances of gameplay friction, Channel37 decided against waiting for a major release to resolve these issues.

This extra update focuses on the things players feel every day: broken persistence, unreliable cables, fabrication issues, progression blockers, and resource heavy scenes that needed more performance headroom. Instead of waiting and folding it all into Update 4, it was pushed out now.

Update 3.5 Shadow Drop Highlights

  • Major fixes + optimization to address broken persistence, unreliable cables, fabrication inconsistencies, progression blocks, and graphics lag in certain areas
  • New Photo Drone for taking photos/screenshots, scouting areas, and seeing a new perspective on the drowned world
  • PECO cartridges + playable minigames to challenge even the quickest robotic reflexes
  • More hidden rooms, caves, vents, and secrets throughout familiar locations
  • New expansions to the world such as a new storm region, support buoys, and higher-quality environmental details
  • New customization paints for weapons

“We read the reports, we track the logs, and we take every issue seriously,” said Miika Aulio, CEO and Co-Founder of Channel37. “We released Update 3.5: Shadow Drop because players shouldn’t have to wait for the next big milestone to have us fix issues affecting their experience. If something matters to the players, it matters to us.”

Update 4.0: Below Us, including new underwater locations, vehicles and a combat overhaul forms the next major content release for The Last Caretaker, remains on track and on schedule.

The Last Caretaker is available now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store
