SNEG is proud to announce that Captain Blood has finally ‘made port’ after two decades and is available now for PC on Steam, GOG, and EGS, Mac, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game sets sail with a 10% booty discount on the $24.99 / 24,99€ / 20,99£ price at launch on all platforms.
Initially intended for a 2010s release on PC and consoles, the planned launch was scuppered when the original publisher went bankrupt, and a series of legal challenges prevented the developers from releasing the game themselves. Fifteen years later, with the blessing of the original dev team, SNEG took the helm to salvage and restore the game, bringing it into the modern age, while conserving the retro look, feel, and gameplay from the decade it was created.
Would-be privateers eager to start plundering with Captain Blood can watch the launch trailer below.
“The original developers put years of hard work into this game and never got the credit for their efforts or to see gamers playing it. Today, this launch is for them. We hope players everywhere will enjoy and appreciate their work and show their support for the preservation of more cancelled gems like Captain Blood in the future,” said SNEG co-founders Artem Shchuiko and Oleg Klapovskiy in a statement today.
“When we first learned that the game wouldn’t be released, it felt devastating – like all our hard work had vanished into thin air. Seeing it finally launch today feels almost unreal. It’s a moment of pride and joy for the entire team,” said Sergey Makeev, former Project Lead on Captain Blood at Seawolf Studio and currently Senior Technical Director at Roblox.
You play as Captain Blood, the manliest pirate captain ever to drink grog while romancing maidens across the Spanish Main. When the local magistrate’s beautiful, buxom daughter is kidnapped, he swallows his pride and hires you and your crew to rescue her. Expect wild adventures with cannon firing, pistol shooting, swashbuckling sword fights, and plenty of pirate shenanigans. This action-packed hack’n’slash features fierce hand-to-hand combat, hordes of enemies, and a classic fighting system with flashy combos and epic finishers.
Key Features:
Epic Pirate Shenanigans: As Captain Blood, live the life of the bravest and most fearsome pirate on the Spanish Main (or at least fake it convincingly).
Retro Gaming Vibes: Crisp Xbox 360/PS3-era graphics, quick-time events, linear story, and features gamers expected back in 2010 are updated while maintaining their classic look and feel.
Intense Action: Dive into fiery hand-to-hand combat and show enemy pirates and landlubbers alike who’s the boss with various slick combat techniques.
Ship Deck Brawls: Fight off enemy pirates trying to board your ship with unique moves, combos, and executions while blasting enemy ships to pieces with your cannons!
Arsenal of Awesomeness: Arm yourself with cutlasses, pistols, muskets, throwing knives, and hand bombs. Don’t forget those sneaky pirate tricks!

Experienced game developer and publisher ByteRockers’ Games just announced their newest, in-house developed asteroid mining and resource gathering game, Exovia. Featuring zero gravity physics and a serene sandbox, Exovia is set to relax players in a low-stakes 2D space, while also providing logistics-based challenges that push you to optimize and gather it all.
You are a hard-working space engineer tasked with mining asteroids for resources and figuring out how to effectively bring them back for processing. Every material begins as part of the asteroid, requiring you to mine, gather, and transport resources in the best way you’re able to. Upgrade your capabilities over time and go deeper and deeper into distinct biomes with unique challenges.
Driven by a spirit of optimism rather than conquest and fear, Exovia encourages you to move at your own pace, embracing a vision of space as a place of wonder. Set-pieces scattered throughout the biomes and long-term missions present a narrative to this quest, bringing meaning and purpose to the relaxing solitude. As you unlock new technologies, update your capabilities and overcome increasingly harder logistical challenges that can be approached in many ways. Build, explore, and engineer your way toward the ultimate milestone of mankind: activating the warp gate and opening a new frontier in the stars.
Emergent gameplay that is both meditative and deeply satisfying is the most important core pillar of Exovia, a project that ByteRockers’ Games has been working on internally since 2024 in tandem with the team’s publishing efforts for several other titles. Exovia is the latest from a team that strives to create something new with every project they tackle. “The world can sometimes feel uncertain these days. We wanted to make a game where people can take their time and unwind — a space to relax in, without pressure.”, said Maxim Suckow, Game Designer at ByteRockers’ Games.
A playable demo will be available on Steam starting on May 8th. Exovia is set to release in 2026.
World of Tanks is honouring the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe with a content-rich tribute event that spans a thrilling new PvE mode, a historic livestream from the Tank Museum hosted by renowned tank experts, exclusive Twitch Drops, in-game discounts, and more.
From May 6th to May 13th, players will step into the boots of an elite Allied tank commander in the thrilling new PvE mission, Operation Postman. Set in the tense final days of World War II, the objective is clear but dangerous: deliver a message behind enemy lines to inform Allied troops that the war is over. Players will enter combat in a uniquely camouflaged M24 Chaffee, supported by an international tank crew equipped with special tactical abilities such as “Scout Around” to recon enemy positions and “False Order” to mislead German patrols. Dense minefields block all approaches to the castle, prompting players to explore the enemy base, locate command posts, and search for maps that reveal a safe route. Once tankers complete challenges, trusty Chaffee will stay with their tank collection permanently.
On May 10th at 15:00 UTC, Wargaming and The Tank Museum in Bovington, UK will present a special livestream commemorating VE Day. It will be hosted by World of Tanks Head of Military Relations and Tank Regiment Veteran Richard Cutland, and Head of Marketing and Engagement at The Tank Museum, Nik Wyness. Join them and some very special guests as they delve onto the significance of VE Day, the key stages of WWII and the evolution of armour throughout this period. Viewers can also expect valuable Mystery Drops on Twitch throughout the stream and a chance to win premium vehicles and more.
Between May 8th 9:00am and May 12th 9:00am UTC, tankers can also earn x5 XP multipliers for the first victory of the day, along with gold discounts on Premium vehicles, and credit discounts on researchable vehicles, consumables, and equipment.

Dead by Daylight is back with a fresh release to ring in the spring that includes a new Survivor – the unflinching Orela Rose – new Events, an overhaul to The Archives, all-new can’t-miss Cosmetics, and a real-world charitable partnership for very good cause.
A Light in the Darkness
Dead by Daylight: Steady Pulse marks the introduction of one of the most selfless Survivors The Entity’s Realm has ever seen in Orela Rose. A stalwart first responder, Orela enters The Fog with the intention of not just surviving, but saving as many lives as possible en route to escape.
Driven by the untimely loss of her best friend to a tragic accident, Orela vowed to never let the same fate befall another in need. She quit university and embarked on a career as an EMT where her unshakable demeanor and calming presence led her to quickly excelling in her new vocation. Luckily for her fellow Survivors, Orela’s heroics extend well beyond patching up wounds. The more intense the pressure, the more her skillset shines, making her the one others can rely on when hope begins to fade.
Orela Rose brings 3 character-specific Perks to the scene:
Do No Harm: Whenever you heal another Survivor, gain increased heal speed and Great Skill Check progress for each Hook State they have.
Duty of Care: When healthy, take a Protection Hit to give nearby Survivors a temporary Haste boost.
Rapid Response: If you are not Exhausted, rush-exit a Locker to become Exhausted and briefly reveal the Killer’s Aura.
Positive Impact
Caring, compassionate, and determined, Orela is a force for good both in and outside of The Fog. To celebrate her release, Dead by Daylight is partnering with Montreal’s CHU Sainte-Justine’s Foundation, a charity that combines philanthropic dreams and pediatric advances at the Sainte-Justin Hospital.
Dead by Daylight supports the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation by donating all proceeds of the 2 Orela Paramedic skins in-game, sold from May 6 to May 27, in support of hospitalized youth.
Further bolstering Dead by Daylight’s fundraising effort, a community-centric activity, set to be introduced during the course of the campaign, will also be announced in the coming weeks.
Direct donations to Grow Beyond can also be made through the foundation’s website.
The Rift Revamped
Not to be forgotten, some spring cleaning is also taking place within The Archives – now called The Rift – beginning with the latest entry, out now, titled OVERGROWTH. Players will now be able to have all Quests (formerly Challenges) active at once, creating a quicker, easier, more streamlined experience for those working their way through The Rift while earning its rewards.
Releasing on May 6 as part of OVERGROWTH, is the Dark Overgrowth Collection featuring incredible floral fashions for Haddie Kaur and The Dredge, as well as The Nurse, Orela, Feng, and Adam Francis.
Spring Styles
Changing seasons always mark the perfect time to roll over one’s wardrobe, so Dead by Daylight is offering up a slew of new styles for players to collect.
On May 6, the Steady Pulse Collection will feature some alternate looks for Orela Rose, including the Day Shift Outfit that sees her don her classic EMT uniform and the Hacylon Dreams Outfit.
Arriving on May 13 is the return of Guardians & Shadows Collection. Otherworldly additions here include the Ghost Face Nevermore Outfit for The Ghost Face, the Rodent King Outfit for The Legion, as well as new looks for Yun-Jin and Gabriel.
New Outfits are also being added to the Chrysalis and Cats & Dogs Collection on May 20 and May 27, respectively. The Chrysalis Collection offers up unsettling new insectile looks for The Xenomorph and The Executioner, while the Cats & Dogs Collection sees Ellen Ripley rock a Jonesy-themed top along with new Outfits for Nicolas Cage and The Unknown.
Dead by Daylight: Steady Pulse is available now on all supported platforms.
