New footage highlights school systems, open-world exploration, early 2000s rebellion, and its launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles later this year
April 13, 2026 – Cut class. Start trouble. Make a name for yourself. Refugium Games has unveiled a brand-new extended gameplay trailer for Agefield High: Rock the School, giving players a deeper look at its rebellious, early-2000s-inspired open-world adventure. The latest footage shows off everything from the game’s dynamic school system, story-driven missions, and the chaotic energy of early 2000s teen life–in which every choice, detention, and bad decision lets you graduate high school in style.
In Agefield High: Rock the School, you play as Sam, a senior who’s just landed in the sleepy town of Agefield—and has every intention of shaking things up before graduation. Alongside new friends Kale and Axel, Sam sets out to “rock the school,” diving headfirst into story-driven missions, social drama, and plenty of questionable decisions.
The new gameplay trailer highlights the fully realized school system, featuring classes like English, Math, Geography, German, and Music—if you decide to show up, that is. Skip class, stir up trouble, or play it smart. The choice is yours.
Beyond the classroom, players can explore a fully open world spanning the school campus, town center, surrounding neighborhoods, and countryside. Whether you’re hustling for cash or just trying not to get caught, Agefield is yours to raise a little hell in. Add an A+ to that report card as publisher Perp Games is bringing Agefield High: Rock the School to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles later this year.

Scent Weaver Sage, Renewed Memories, and Modularization feature in SS12 Lunaria
Shanghai, China — April 10, 2026 | XD Games is excited to reveal details on the upcoming Torchlight: Infinite season – SS12 Lunaria – beginning on 16 April worldwide on PC and mobile, in the run up to Torchlight: Infinite’s third anniversary.
Watch the Torchlight: Infinite Season Preview below:
The new seasonal mechanic, Lunaria, is among the biggest additions to Torchlight: Infinite, bringing a new farming loop to the game. Lunar Stone Statues have appeared all across Netherrealm, ready to be woken up by Lunar Ring-wielding players looking to take on Lunari creatures. Once defeated, these creatures drop loot and energy that can be used to awaken other Lunar Stone Statues.
Randomly triggered Lunar Omens and Rhapsodies can also greatly affect these encounters. For example, Lunar Radiance sees a golden statue pop up on the map that, when awoken, brings forth a monster that drops substantially greater loot when defeated; Moonlit Revival transforms all Lunari creatures back into statues; and the Lunar Harp no longer consumes energy if the Moonrise rhapsody is activated. Torchlight: Infinite players can learn more about the specifics of the Lunaria mechanic – and everything within SS12 – in the Torchlight: Infinite Season Preview livestream, which aired today.
Watch the Lunaria Official Launch Trailer below:
A permanent addition to Torchlight: Infinite — making its debut at this new season’s launch — is the Creation Engine. Found dotted around the map, Creation Engines are machines guarded by Creation Sentries, which players can defeat for big rewards. Once all enemies have been dealt with, nearby Creation Crystals will transform into top quality loot, like the Path of the Brave-exclusive Fluorescent Memory, the legendary chest armour Silent Avowal, or mystery elixir skill Fluorescent Memory.
Loot from Creation Engines can also be manipulated via Netherrealm Talents, should players invest. While modest investment turns Creation Engines into buff dispensers, greater investment offers two options: Whimsical Creation Crystal, which increases the loot pool by matching two identical crystals; alternatively, these machines can produce Gold Creation Crystals that chain-activate every crystal within the Creation Engine.
Watch the Sage: The Scent Weaver Arrives trailer below:
The newest hero joining Torchlight: Infinite is Scent Weaver Sage. She is an elixir-based healer, uniquely adjusting her recipes mid-fight. For instance, she can add rare defensive stats, like Injury Buffer or Convert Physical Damage to Random Elemental Damage, to her elixirs — two affixes that don’t often appear on gear. Players can even set up their Sage so that critical strikes, reaping, and movement will automatically generate elixir charges.
Additionally, there are two paths players can specialise Sage in. Firstly, there is the Scholar route, which maxes life and mana, converting base stats in amplified elixir effects. The second option is the Mad Scientist route, which allows players to carry an extra offensive flask.
As part of Sage’s introduction, the potion system is being overhauled, becoming its own skill type: Elixir Skills. Unlike standard skills that incorporate mana and cooldown, Elixir Skills run on charge points. There are now three categories of elixir: Tonics for life and mana, Dews for single-stat boosts, and Distillates that contain complex composite effects.
In Lunaria, players will be able to get to grips with a new progression system called Renewed Memories, which makes big changes to traits. Building upon the established Hero Memories system, Renewed Memories introduces Revival – a new crafting method that unlocks a power within those memories. These powers include Wax and Wave, which increases base value affixes; Rising Moon, which elevates the fixed affix tier; Lunar Ring, which expands the Memory with a set of powerful random affixes; and Young Moon, which adds an extra powerful hero trait affix on Ultimate Memories.
Another addition to Torchlight: Infinite is Modularization. This new summon system allows players to generate a copy of a recently defeated boss, turning them from foe to friend on the battlefield for a limited time. While not a direct copy of any given monster, modularized replicas take on a crucial portion of a defeated enemy’s abilities. Twenty boss monsters are available for Modularization at the beginning of SS12 Lunaria, with more scheduled for future seasons.
To celebrate Torchlight: Infinite’s third anniversary, a limited-time anniversary event kicks off on 16 April — the Midas Touch. Players can complete objectives to earn draws, and spin for rewards such as Pactspirit Crystals, Jagged Primocrysts, and a chance at this year’s anniversary commemorative gold note, designed by the Torchlight team.
For a full breakdown of everything new to Torchlight: Infinite during Lunaria, new legendary gear, gameplay optimisations, grafting adjustments and more, watch the SS12 Season Preview or check out the full patch notes on the official website.
Torchlight: Infinite is available now on PC, iOS, and Android.

Raise an army, break the game, and finally get revenge on your own body in this fast-paced auto-battler roguelite from 8BitSkull
Edinburgh, Scotland (April 10, 2026)Skull Horde, the new auto-battler dungeon crawler from developer 8BitSkull, is out now on PC via Steam with Steam Deck and Linux support. The revenge-seeking roguelite invites players to take control of the flying skull of a necromancer with a literal bone to pick, as it seeks revenge after its own body betrayed it. Today’s forecast: bone storms, hectic synergies, and a rapidly growing skeleton workforce.
In Skull Horde you’ll raise an army of skeletons and send them headfirst into a battle of bone versus flesh, carving through procedurally generated dungeons packed with enemies, loot, and enough danger to keep things humerus.
Watch the Skull Horde launch trailer:
Each run drops players into a new dungeon filled with chests, shrines, and increasingly overwhelming threats. You’ll need to keep moving, keep building, and keep your skull in the game as you assemble a squad capable of surviving the onslaught.
At its core, Skull Horde is all about buildcraft. Recruit a wide range of undead units, each with their own abilities, then merge them into stronger forms to unlock new powers. Stack these with perks, loot, and dungeon boons to create wildly overpowered combinations that can quickly go from scrappy to skull-crushing.
Combat plays out in real time, with your minions handling the fighting while you focus on the big-skull decisions: what to build, when to reroll, where to explore, and how greedy you can afford to be before everything collapses into a pile of bones.
With multiple dungeon types, unique enemy compositions, and challenges that demand different strategies, no two runs are quite the same.
Key Features of Skull Horde:
Procedurally generated dungeons full of loot, danger, and questionable decisions
Real-time auto battling where your army fights while you bone up on your tactics
Merge units to evolve stronger forms and unlock unique abilities
Stack perks, loot, and synergies to create delightfully broken builds
Multiple playable characters with distinct bone-shattering strengths
Unique challenges that reward experimentation and clever strategies
Skull Horde is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Simplified Chinese.
Skull Horde is ready to rattle and is available now on Steam, with Windows PC, Steam Deck, macOS, and Linux support. The game costs $12.99 USD / £8.99 GBP / €9,99 EUR and is available with a 25% discount.
