Explore the depths of Playtime Co. as the Smiling Critters while working to build a mysterious location for an even more mysterious voice 

Los Angeles, August 26, 2026 – Today, Mob Entertainment, the studio behind the hit horror franchise Poppy Playtime, revealed Escape From Playtime, a new 1-4 player online co-op game that sends players back into the infamous Playtime Co. factory from the perspective of the cute-yet-disturbing Smiling Critters. Tasked with scavenging materials for a mysterious building project that promises escape from the factory, players will need to work together and follow instructions from an ominous voice lurking somewhere in the shadows, all while evading the factory’s most dangerous denizens. 

“We’ve always loved the idea that Playtime Co. is this huge, awful place with more hiding inside of it than anyone has seen,” said Brandon James, Game Director, Mob Entertainment. “Paired with our passion for exploring and building multiplayer experiences in this world, where Escape From Playtime started, and working together with our community, we’re creating a game that will continue to deliver excitement and surprises. And of course a good jump scare or two.”

Escape From Playtime is a co-op survival horror game set deep inside the abandoned Playtime Co. factory. Players take on the roles of the Smiling Critters, the dead-eyed toy line with gaping smiles first introduced in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 3, and explore classrooms, warehouses, testing labs, and the dark corridors connecting them all.

Played solo or with up to three other players, each run sends teams into a dynamically changing section of the facility to find and transport resources for a mysterious Voice. The materials are needed to help build a promised home for toys who prove their loyalty and usefulness. Simple enough, except the factory is filled with rejected Playtime Co. creations stalking the halls. Players will need to search quickly, choose when to split up or stick together, and know when it is time to retreat.

Along the way, players can solve puzzles, uncover clues, scavenge tools, use hiding spots and alternate routes, and turn the factory layout to their advantage. Proximity voice chat adds another risk: communication is essential, but an irresponsible whisper can bring the mission to a brutal end.

As runs are completed, Escape From Playtime reveals a deeper connection to the larger Poppy Playtime story. The Voice promises freedom and a home, but its motives remain unclear. Every resource gathered feeds into something bigger. You are helping build something, but what, and why?

Key Features:

• Critter Co-Op: Play solo or team up with up to 3 friends in a fight for survival inside Playtime Co. More Critters means more ground covered and more chances for something to go horribly wrong, all enabled with proximity voice chat. 
• The Voice: A mysterious Voice sends players into the facility to collect scattered parts and resources. Gather what you need, bring it back safely, and try not to ask too loudly who or what you are really working for.
• Scavenge to Survive: Use whatever the factory gives you to stay alive. Search for tools, uncover clues, find hiding spots, create distractions, and use alternate routes to outmaneuver the rejected Playtime Co. creations stalking the halls.
• Mini Mode: Crawl, jump, and climb through every nook and cranny of the Playtime Co. factory as a Smiling Critter and experience some of the most iconic Poppy Playtime locations through a new (smaller) set of eyes.
• Familiar and New: It’s Playtime Co. as you know it, with a twist. The mysterious Voice seems to be altering the factory’s layout, creating procedurally generated environments that change with each run.

EARLY ACCESS

Escape From Playtime is being built with Early Access in mind, giving players a strong core loop at launch while leaving room for the community to help shape future growth. The initial release is planned to include the full eight-character Smiling Critter roster, one starter zone, and a core enemy lineup. Future updates are expected to expand the game with new zones, Critters, features, and refinements informed by player feedback.

– Release date on PC and consoles announced for October 14 – Switch 2 version also revealed, confirmed for later this year –

BRISTOL, England (August 26, 2026) – Auroch Digital and Big Fan Games released a brand new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 today showcasing the first footage of the game’s main antagonist, Vashtorr, daemonic demigod of inventors, engineers, scientists and artisans, and revealed the highly anticipated release date on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for October 14. Auroch Digital and Big Fan have also announced Warhammer 40:000 Boltgun 2 will launch on Nintendo Switch 2, shortly after its October 14 debut on other platforms. 

Today’s release date trailer absolutely shreds with a first-listen teaser of the original musical track created for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 by guest composer Mick Gordon (DOOM (2016), DOOM Eternal, Wolfenstein: The New Order). Get your first look at the unrestrained invention and abominable artifice that is Vashtorr the Arkifane: 

Traveling to an isolated star system to check on reports of increased Chaos activity, playable characters Ultramarine Malum Caedo and Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath soon find themselves facing the wrath of Vashtorr the Arkifane. A demigod of immense power, Vashtorr awakens a vast daemonic machine at the centre of the planet, causing a catastrophic explosion and destroying much of the Imperial fleet. Now Malum and Nyra must race from world to world to cleanse the corruption powering Vashtorr’s daemonic machinations – and to stand a chance of banishing the demigod back to the Warp.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 continues where the original Boltgun left off, bringing unrepentant strafing action and an increased variety of killer weapon selection to fans. Battle fan-favorite foes like the sassy plague-spreading Nurglings and Chaos Cultists, as well as all-new enemies. The ferocious Bloodletters and their bloodthirsty Juggernauts are just the beginning. Greater terrors await in the Emperor’s endless war.

Upcoming FPS Souls-like from Eschatology Entertainment, with art direction by Half-Life 2 and Dishonored Art Director Viktor Antonov, launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this year.

Cyprus – August 26, 2026 – Publisher 4Divinity and developer Eschatology Entertainment have today revealed a new trailer for Guns of Eschaton at gamescom, offering a fresh look at the hardcore FPS Souls-like, while confirming the game will launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. Shaped by the artistic vision of Half-Life 2 and Dishonored Art Director Viktor Antonov, Guns of Eschaton is being created by an international team of veteran developers as a distinctive new take on the FPS and Souls-like genres. 

Built as a unique new experience rather than simply a combination of familiar mechanics, Guns of Eschaton brings together the precision and immediacy of first-person shooters with the deliberate combat, exploration, progression, and buildcrafting of Souls-like games — all within an original apocalyptic Western universe.

Witness this new world before it ends in the new trailer below:

In Guns of Eschaton, every bullet counts — including the ones you don’t fire. Players must study whatever is trying to kill them, while never knowing quite enough to make the journey feel safe. Old-fashioned guns may replace swords, and a demonic train may replace a dragon, but the philosophy remains: understanding your opponent is just as important as mastering your own arsenal.

A deep progression and buildcrafting system gives players the freedom to develop their own approach to the apocalypse. Firearms, different ammunition types, occult abilities, talismans, armor, consumables, and active and passive skills can be combined into highly individual builds, creating different solutions to the challenges of the world. There is no single way to become a legendary gunslinger.

The apocalypse doesn’t have to be faced alone. Guns of Eschaton was designed as a solo-first experience, with co-op offering a different way to experience the journey and adding another layer of replayability. Playing together brings a new rhythm to the game, introducing different strategies and tactics for shared survival. The challenge and the story remain, but sharing the journey changes the experience.

A World Built to Be Discovered

The distinctive visual identity of Guns of Eschaton was shaped by acclaimed worldbuilder and Art Director Viktor Antonov, whose work helped define the worlds of Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, among other celebrated titles. Working alongside Eschatology Entertainment’s international team of experienced developers and artists, Antonov established a visual language in which architecture, environments, characters, narrative, and game design are closely connected.

The result is a handcrafted world that takes the familiar imagery of the 19th-century American frontier and transforms it through occult horror, mythology, religion, history, and the supernatural. It is a Wild West players may recognize from films, books, and popular culture — but one now burning in the flames of the apocalypse.

Rather than simply providing a backdrop for combat, the world itself is part of the experience. Exploration, environmental storytelling, encounters, and player decisions gradually reveal what happened to this frontier — and what role the player has in its fate.

No Rest. No Peace. Guns of Eschaton launches for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026.

Key Features

• Every bullet counts: Face off in deliberate, high-stakes gunfights where preparation matters as much as aim. Study enemies through the Codex to uncover weaknesses, master precise timings and calculated parries, and wield mystic abilities granted by the occult.
• Build your legendary gunslinger: Create a playstyle of your own through deep character progression and flexible buildcrafting. Experiment with a vast arsenal of firearms, ammunition types, occult powers, talismans, armor, and consumables. Combine active and passive abilities, discover powerful synergies, and learn deadly tricks from legendary gunslingers.
• FPS gunplay meets Souls-like combat: Familiar principles from two established genres are rebuilt around one combat philosophy. Precision shooting, weapon mastery, enemy knowledge, resource management, timing, and buildcrafting come together to create an FPS where simply pulling the trigger is rarely the whole answer.
• Explore an occult apocalyptic West: Journey from East to West through an original world shaped by Viktor Antonov’s distinctive art direction. 19th-century frontier Americana collides with occult horror, mythology, religion, and the supernatural as the Old West burns in the apocalypse.
• Find your own way through the end times: Weapons, abilities, equipment, builds, exploration, and player choices allow different players to approach the world and its challenges in very different ways.
• Ride alone or together: Experience the complete journey solo or alongside an ally in co-op, with full progression allowing players to tackle the challenges of the dying world. Alone, it is a personal test of mastery. Together, it becomes a different experience built around coordination and shared survival.

Save the realm of Khemia from the Rot in this charming, hand-crafted, fairy-tale inspired Action-Adventure, coming to PC and consoles 2027

Bracknell, UK – August 26th, 2026 – Publisher Kalypso Media and Realmforge Studios, acclaimed developers of the Dungeons series, have today announced their new title Rise of the Spellbaker, set in a world full of magic, fairy tales, and the delightful smells of freshly baked goods.

Coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and PlayStation®5 in 2027, Rise of the Spellbaker follows a Witch who finds herself the sole survivor of an unknown plague. With only her loyal cat familiar by her side, she must set forth into the corrupted land and fight back the insatiable Rot by awakening the powerful magic of spellbaking from forgotten recipes.

In a time when the world was still wild and full of magic, the Witch lived a calm and peaceful life in harmony with all creatures and humans. Until one pristine autumn day, when the Witches of Khemia gathered to celebrate their annual Harvest Festival, since the fateful events of that day, an unnamed rot has swept through the land, and its architect remains a dreadful mystery.

Now, Khemia has been transformed from a home that was once light, sweet and colourful into a dark, fetid, and dismal place infested with dangerous creatures such as the Skullopod and Big Mouth, all overshadowed by an unfathomable presence looming in the background.

To reclaim Khemia from the Rot and defeat the evil mastermind pulling the strings, the Witch must rediscover and develop her forgotten magic talent: spellbaking. Discover new recipes, gather ingredients, and knead them into powerful pastries such as the Crescent Wave or Shortcrust Grenade to roast your enemies.

On her journey, she’ll team up with a band of unlikely alliles including Hermann, the talking sourdough, the floury little Biscies, and her loyal Cat Familiar, all of whom will help her face the challenges ahead. Whilst back in the village, players can furnish and decorate the Witch’s house and turn the village back into a safe haven to return to during their adventures.

For those looking to face the Rot together, the coven allows players to gather with up to five other surviving witches in multiplayer and divide the tasks between the group and work together to defeat the Rot.

Rise of the Spellbaker is scheduled for release in 2027 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and PlayStation®5.

Rise of the Spellbaker Features: 

• The Rise of the Spellbaker: Guide the Witch on her journey to save Khemia from a grim and all-consuming plague in this hand-crafted Action-Adventure drawing you into a powerful story in a world full of magic, fairy tales and smells from freshly baked goods.
• The Rot: Experience a world being devoured by a plague covering the land and choking (almost) every living creature, turning a home that once was light, sweet and colourful into a dark, fetid and dismal place infested with dangerous creatures like the Skullopod or the Big Mouth, all overshadowed by an unfathomable presence looming in the background.
• The Witch: Rediscover and develop your forgotten magic talent – spellbaking – to reclaim your world from the Rot and the evil mastermind pulling the strings. Discover new recipes, gather ingredients and knead them into powerful pastries like the Crescent Wave or the Shortcrust Grenade to roast your enemies.
• The Companions: Along the way, you’ll discover that this new world hides more than meets the eye. Fortunately, you are not alone: Hermann, the talking sourdough, the floury little Biscies, and your loyal cat familiar will help you face the challenges ahead.
• The Village: Furnish and decorate the witch’s house and turn your village back into a safe haven you can return to during your adventures. Feed Hermann to spur his memory and thus gain more knowledge about recipes and discover his connection to your home – and, perhaps, the keys to defeating the plague.

New trailer and b-roll featuring an infiltration mission gone wrong, a new acquaintance, and a treacherous encounter with a hybrid

Nicosia, Cyprus (August 26, 2026) — Today, Owlcat Games revealed two new videos from the highly anticipated upcoming narrative-action RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Debuted during the Find Your Next Game Show at gamescom, the videos show detailed gameplay from a mid-game mission set on the moon Ganymede, where players have to infiltrate a secret base to recover stolen data. Though the mission starts off smoothly, it doesn’t take long for everything to go horribly, catastrophically wrong. 

Watch the dramatic new trailer and check out the b-roll for more details:

The trailer showcases the mission on Ganymede, highlighting different aspects of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn: from its cinematic storytelling, to the thrilling action combat, to its exploration and deep dialogue system. The Captain and their sibling J must infiltrate a secret Protogen base to get back their data stolen on Pinkwater station, with their whole team coming together to aid with tech and provide moral support.

At first everything seems to be going according to plan — players explore the base undercover, meet Protogen employees, and try to talk their way into the storage area to retrieve the stolen data. However, things take a turn when an unexpected third party shows up and a bioengineered menace is let loose in the base, forcing the siblings to improvise as they desperately fight their way to make it out alive.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will launch on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, and on console via Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in spring 2027.
