Null Games today released a brand new trailer announcing a July 2025 release window for developer DinoBoss’ Demon Spore, an action roguelite inspired by the slithery monsters of classic 80s horror during Twitch.tv’s “Galaxies,” a new global video game showcase. The new animated trailer provided backstory to the Demon Spore’s origin and also revealed the availability of online co-op at launch so players can fight – and die – against an ever-growing mass of flesh and tentacles.

Ahead of its launch this July, Demon Spore fans will also have the opportunity to potentially participate in closed playtests for hands-on online co-op mayhem. More details and dates will be announced soon, but those interested are encouraged to fill out the Null Playtester form to be kept in the loop on potential future playtests. A demo highlighting the early portions of Demon Spore is also available now on Steam.

Demon Spore puts players in the shoes of a terrified scientist caught in the middle of an ethically questionable experiment gone deadly wrong. As the grotesque creatures spread throughout the facility, options for survival begin to fade, bringing the desperate need for careful planning and improvisation to escape alive. Players must destroy hordes of enemies with beakers of acid, scalpel launchers, and good old fashioned shotguns while frantically charging to the next area for a brief moment of respite. Use security tokens to manipulate the Demon Spore and collect powerful abilities to assist on the harrowing journey to the rooftop.

At Star Wars™ Celebration Japan, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) revealed Star Wars Zero Company™, a single-player turn-based tactics game developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. In Star Wars Zero Company, players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. As an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, Zero Company must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds and take on an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked.

“Our vision for Star Wars Zero Company is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay,” said Greg Foertsch, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor. “It’s our aim to deliver a game with an original Star Wars story from the Clone Wars era that has meaningful outcomes from player choices, and deep turn-based tactical combat with an approachable and cinematic presentation.”

“At Lucasfilm Games, we’re huge tactics fans and we have wanted to make a game like this for a long time,” said Douglas Reilly, GM & VP, Lucasfilm Games. “The best tactics games are all about meaningful choices, and we’re confident we have chosen the right squad in Bit Reactor to deliver a compelling and innovative title that is authentic to Star Wars.”

In Star Wars Zero Company, players will embark on a campaign of tactical operations and investigations across the galaxy. Between missions, they will develop a base of operations and gather intelligence through a network of informants to stay one step ahead of Zero Company’s adversaries. Players will have the freedom to create and customize their own squad of recruited operators while getting to know a cast of newly authored Star Wars characters.

White Knuckle Early Access Launch Trailer

2025/04/22

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

The race to the top is on—speed-climbing horror roguelite White Knuckle is now available in Steam Early Access. Praised for its fast-paced tension, stimulating challenge, and the heart-pounding fear that something horrible is lurking just behind you, DreadXP’s latest release is a vertical nightmare of precision movement and tight inventory management. Developed by New Mexico-based three-person team Dark Machine Games, White Knuckle is indie horror at its most intense, and it’s just getting started.

Trapped in the crumbling depths of SUB-STRUCTURE 17, you play as a lone climber fighting to ascend a nightmarish underground compound. Navigate collapsing walls, leap over deadly gaps, and dodge brutal traps, all while evading the monstrous presence lurking and creeping from down below. Precision, speed, and smart resource management are essential—tools can aid your climb, but overpacking will slow you down, and accessing your gear mid-ascent means having to let go of a hand. One wrong move, just one fumbled grab, and it’s a long way down.

As you rise through this decaying vertical labyrinth, you’ll face increasingly treacherous environments and enemies, from the desolate Silos and toxic Pipeworks to the haunted piers of Habitation. Each region brings new threats and greater risks, but also the chance to unlock augmentations during your runs to enhance your abilities and better your odds of surviving the long climb to freedom. In pure roguelite fashion, failing isn’t a threat, it’s a promise. ”We want every run to feel different, and for players to learn more about familiar spaces as much as they are seeing new ones. You WILL fall and die in White Knuckle, and it’s fun because the best part of starting over is wondering what routes or places you’ll discover in the next attempt.” says Holly Jencka, Lead Developer at Dark Machine Games.
