Update 0.18 introduces new power jump, glider progression, overhauled beginning player experience, and much more

Los Angeles, CA – April 17, 2026 – Loric Games and Snail Games USA have just launched the largest update yet for their airborne open-world survival RPG crafting game Echoes of Elysium, now available on Steam Early Access. Major Update 0.18 is a big step toward making Echoes of Elysium feel better the moment you jump in, while also adding more depth to how you move and interact with the world.

This update radically reworks how the game introduces itself so it’s clearer, smoother, and easier to get into. There’s now much more room for player expression through movement, with a new Power Jump ability that lets you launch yourself further and higher, adding a lot more mobility. Your glider now has a progression system where it’s something you earn, craft and upgrade over time, making it a core part of your journey. This update also brings 150 unique items, and hints have been completely reworked to be more helpful and less intrusive. Alongside all of that, there’s a large pass on fixes, performance, and polish across the game, based directly on player feedback. You can check out the full patch notes here.

“Update 0.18 is a massive step forward for the game, especially if you’re just jumping in or bringing friends along for the first time,” said Loric Games cofounder and CEO Brian Johnson. “We’ve spent a lot of time reworking the first-time experience to make things feel more natural, clearer, and less overwhelming. A lot of the early friction points from player feedback in Discord and both positive and negative reviews have been smoothed out, and systems should introduce themselves in a way that makes more sense as you play.”

This is just the beginning, as Loric has shared the Echoes of Elysium roadmap, teasing plans to deliver ongoing updates focused on stability, accessibility, and quality-of-life – including critical fixes, expanded localization, controller support, ship customization, and Steam Deck support. The roadmap includes continuous improvements and content updates delivered between two major content expansions planned for 2026.

Set in the enchanting world of Elysium, where ancient mechanisms coexist with serene skies and breathtaking landscapes, players must set sail for adventure in airships of their own design. Your fleet is more than simple transport, but your base of operations where you can transport supplies, craft materials, and engage in aerial combat against an armada of adversaries.

Work alone or with friends in up to 6-player co-op as you uncover the mysteries of a forgotten paradise where danger lurks in the form of soul-powered clockwork beasts. Gather, craft, and grow in power as you fight for survival across a fractured landscape of diverse environments. Harvest unique resources to craft vital tools, contraptions, and airships, all aiding in your defense and exploration. Everything you would normally do on the ground in survival RPGs happens in the sky for a unique airship-focused experience.

London (April 17, 2026) – Today Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, is proud to announce the long-awaited PRAGMATA™ is out now across the globe. After years of anticipation, the highly acclaimed sci-fi action-adventure game is now available across PlayStation®5 (PS5™), Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ 2*, and PC via Steam.

To watch the PRAGMATA launch trailer.

Developed by the studio behind the Resident Evil™ and Devil May Cry™ series, PRAGMATA transports players to the moon.

Sent in to investigate, space farer Hugh Williams quickly runs into trouble before a curious android with the appearance of a young girl comes to his rescue. Given the name Diana, she joins Hugh in exploring the lunar station in search of a way back to Earth.

Throughout their journey, Hugh and Diana are hunted by a hostile AI who controls the facility, and players must combine the unlikely duo’s unique abilities to survive the threats that await them. PRAGMATA features unique action-puzzle combat where Diana hacks enemy Bots to expose their weaknesses so Hugh can blast them with an arsenal of firearms. Between battles, the pair can enjoy the respite of the Shelter. In this safe haven, Hugh and Diana share heartwarming interactions and can trade collectable materials for upgrades to take on challenges like massive boss fights.

“We’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time,” said PRAGMATA producer Naoto Oyama. “The development team has been working passionately on this project for many years, and the community has been there every step of the way. It may have taken some time, but we feel we’ve created something truly unique and special for you. Thank you so much for your support. We’re so happy everyone can finally experience Hugh and Diana’s unforgettable adventure today.”

Further advancing the German Computer Game Awards and shaping gamescom dev alongside such a dedicated team has been immensely rewarding. Both events are now ideally positioned for continued success under Frederik’s leadership, whom I hold in the highest regard both professionally and personally. From October, I will be turning my attention to new projects, which I greatly look forward to. I remain sincerely appreciative of the many valued collaborations over the years and wish all my colleagues continued success in the future,” says Stephan Reichart, outgoing Managing Director of game events GmbH.

“This year, gamescom dev is launching in a new format, featuring a fresh name and an even closer integration with gamescom, the world’s largest gaming event. Following strong growth in recent years, the time is right to take the conference to the next level and further elevate its international profile. At a time when developer conferences worldwide are undergoing significant transformation, this presents a unique opportunity to set new standards through clear focus and renewed momentum.

Sydney, Australia, 17th April 2026: After a thrilling cinematic and gameplay reveal in collaboration with Xbox, we’re excited to announce METRO 2039, the long-awaited next chapter in the METRO saga, from acclaimed storytellers, 4A Games. METRO 2039 is coming to Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, Steam and Epic this winter (Australian summer).

THE YEAR IS 2039.

For a quarter century, the last survivors of nuclear war have been locked in bitter conflict deep in the Metro tunnels beneath the poisoned city of Moscow. Now, the underground factions are unified under one banner – the Novoreich, led by a new Fuhrer: the legendary Spartan, Hunter.  The Fuhrer promises salvation and a new life for the people on the surface but in reality, communities remain trapped deep within the Metro, flooded by propaganda and misinformation, suffering under his authoritarian regime.

You play as The Stranger, a recluse haunted by violent waking nightmares, forced to undertake a harrowing journey back down to the Metro, a place he swore he would never return to.  The Stranger will be a fully voiced lead protagonist, making a notable step towards deeper immersion in METRO’s iconic atmospheric storytelling.

A CLASSIC METRO STORY, TOLD FROM A UKRAINIAN PERSPECTIVE.

4A Games was born in Ukraine, and still remains majority Ukrainian, but now with a team that spans over 25 different nationalities united by a Ukrainian spirit of determination and pride for their projects.  Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has impacted and directly shaped the development of METRO 2039, with its story shifting to focus acutely on choices, actions, consequences, and the cost of securing a future.  While told from a distinctly Ukrainian perspective, METRO 2039 remains an authentically METRO story.  Now working primarily from two locations in Kyiv and Malta, the goal remains the same: to create an experience that is unmistakably METRO.

METRO 2039 is developed in Ukraine amid Russia’s ongoing full-scale invasion, and in Malta. 4A Games continues to support its homeland and team members in Ukraine in every possible way.  If you wish to contribute, we can recommend the Official Fundraising Platform of Ukraine: United24: https://u24.gov.ua/
