America Remembers Sept 11th 2001

25 years ago this morning, a terrorist group carried out a heinous attack on our country. Thousands lost their lives and it turned not only the Unites States but also the rest of the world into a more chaotic and scary place to live. This morning we give thanks to our first responders, armed forces, and brave civilians who were, and are, still being directly affected by this attack in some way.

With the prospect of war for survival as the only option, players enter the cockpit under the name Wings of Theve, taking on the role of a legendary ace with their name tied to Theve, the capital of the FCU, and becoming the symbol of hope for every citizen in their imperiled nation. Joined by a squadron of three unique new fighter pilots, theirs is a flight against all odds to repel the Republic of Sotoa’s vicious attack and reclaim their lost homeland.

The Queen Mary Unveils THREE New Haunted Staterooms and More!

As The Queen Mary continues to celebrate the 90th anniversary milestone year of her maiden voyage, visitors are invited to venture deeper into the paranormal stories and legends that have become part of her legacy. Starting this September, three new immersive staterooms invite passengers to spend the night inside stories inspired by the ship’s legendary spirits and lore. The debut of Paranormal Passage headlines a season packed with new and returning experiences, from the all-new Grey Ghost Galley and Spookeasy to full moon experiences, murder mystery dinners, haunted tours, spooky movie nights and more.

“There’s an incredible fascination with the Queen Mary’s paranormal history and the stories that have become part of her lore,” said Dylan Matteson, General Manager of the Queen Mary. “Our guests want to know more, explore more and get closer to those stories. We’re excited to give them entirely new ways to do that. This season is about inviting visitors to experience a side of the Queen Mary that continues to captivate generation after generation.”

At the center of the new offerings is Paranormal Passage, a collection of three immersive staterooms that transforms some of the Queen Mary’s most enduring paranormal stories into overnight experiences. Located at B326, B328, and B334, the passage builds upon the fascination surrounding the famous Stateroom B340, inviting guests to choose which Queen Mary legend they dare to sleep beside. Each room has its own story, atmosphere and interactive details, creating three distinctly different ways to experience the ship’s paranormal lore long after the lights go out. 

Each immersive overnight stateroom draws inspiration from some of the Queen Mary’s most rumored spirits and enduring legends. Those brave enough can settle in for the night in the room dubbed The Dressing Chamber, inspired by the fabled Lady in White; Jackie’s Room, drawing from the beloved legend associated with the First-Class swimming pool called; or The Officer’s Study, where stories of the ship’s officers intertwine with legends of uniformed figures roaming the passageways. 

Also new this spooky season, the Queen Mary’s Show Room transforms into Grey Ghost Galley, an all-you-can-eat Halloween feast serving up plenty of tricks and treats before a night at Dark Harbor. The 90-minute buffet features hearty favorites including sliced sirloin with red wine demi-glace, spicy sausage hoagies, buffalo tenders, sweet chili tofu, mac and cheese, a build-your-own nacho station and a seasonal fall salad with butternut squash, pomegranate seeds and glazed pecans. For something sweet, guests can dig into nightly-changing Halloween-themed desserts, including black cake with orange cream frosting and festively decorated cookies. Giving visitors time to feast and get into the spirit before the scares begin, Grey Ghost Galley opens during Dark Harbor nights only and includes early access aboard the Queen Mary before Dark Harbor opens. Seatings are at 6 p.m., with an additional 4 p.m. option on Fridays and Saturdays for $70 per person.

Visitors 21 and older can also sip with the spirits during the new Spookeasy, beginning September 28. The evening starts with tales from The Queen Mary’s haunted history over a spooky cocktail before embarking on a mini tour past some of the ship’s most intriguing spaces. The night ends at the hidden N.o3 Speakeasy, where crystal, tarot, and palm readings, a haunting meditative sound bath and additional handcrafted cocktails await. Spookeasy kicks-off on September 28 and continues October 5, 12, and 19 from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Murder on the High Seas takes place Sept. 13 through October 19. The interactive musical experience combines a three-course dinner with suspicious characters, unexpected clues and plenty of audience participation as guests race to crack the case. The murder mystery, Murder on the High Seas will have one matinee on September 13th, followed by evening performances on Oct 5, 12 and 19. 

Even movie night takes a spookier turn. Movies on the Mary brings haunt-season favorites to the Queen Mary’s private theater, including Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” on Sept. 28, “Beetlejuice” on Oct. 12 and “The Shining” on Oct. 19. Check-in begins at 6 p.m., with each film beginning at 6:45 p.m. Popcorn and movie snacks will be available for purchase. 

Guests can also save on three spooky experiences with the Queen Mary’s new Spooky Package. Available for $125, the package includes one admission to Murder on the High Seas, Movies on the Mary and the Spookeasy, with visitors able to choose their preferred October date for each experience.

The ship’s year-round paranormal experiences will continue throughout the fall, giving guests even more opportunities to explore the stories behind the Queen Mary’s haunted reputation. Graveyard Tour, Paranormal Ship Walk and Haunted Encounters venture into the ship’s history, reported paranormal activity and rarely seen spaces. Jackie’s Spirit Shoppe offers curios and keepsakes inspired by the Queen Mary’s supernatural lore.

In addition to the spooky events onboard the Queen Mary, fright fans can also experience the return of Dark Harbor, bringing its signature mazes, monsters and maritime mayhem for select nights from Sept. 18 through Nov. 1. Guests can extend the experience overnight with the Dark Harbor VIP Hotel Package, featuring special perks and access tied to their stay. 

With its rich history, enduring paranormal lore and new seasonal programming, the Queen Mary continues to give longtime paranormal enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike new ways to explore the stories that have fueled fascination with the legendary ocean liner for generations.

KONAMI and 2000 AD Announce Official SILENT HILL: Townfall Comic Story

September 10, 2026 – Konami Digital Entertainment, B.V. (KONAMI) announced today a collaboration with legendary British comic publisher 2000 AD to create an original comic story inspired by the world of SILENT HILL: Townfall. The new story, titled SILENT HILL: Townfall – The Dock House, has been written by lead writer and game director Jon McKellan and serves as an official narrative companion to the upcoming game. Acclaimed artist David Roach (Nemesis The Warlock) provides pencils for this eerie new story.

Part of the stacked lineup for 2000 AD’s milestone Prog 2500, available on 16th September in the UK and 30th September for the USA, via Lunar Distribution in print, and available digitally worldwide through the 2000 AD Webstore and App. SILENT HILL: Townfall – The Dock House offers fans an additional perspective on the isolated island community of St. Amelia, expanding upon the haunting world and atmosphere of SILENT HILL: Townfall while preserving the mysteries awaiting players in the game.

The story follows Douglas, a veteran harbour master who has spent decades maintaining St. Amelia’s dock house. Trapped in an endless routine surrounded by fog and isolation, Douglas discovers an impossible staircase descending beneath the harbour, forcing him to confront a terrifying reality hidden beneath the surface of the town.

2000 AD’s Editor In Chief Matt Smith says of the haunting new partnership: “The atmospheric horrors of SILENT HILL are a great fit for 2000 AD, so when we were approached to publish a special tie-in story for SILENT HILL: Townfall, it was something I knew the readers would thoroughly enjoy immersing themselves in – and with David Roach on art duties, it’s an especially moody, eerie piece that works as a standalone chiller”.

Jon McKellan (SILENT HILL: Townfall Writer and Director at Screen Burn) said “It’s incredibly exciting to expand the world of SILENT HILL: Townfall with a new short story, and a personal milestone for me as a writer to get a chance to contribute to an issue!. It feels especially fitting for a game set in the UK to feature in a UK national treasure like 2000 AD, and watching David bring the words to life has been a joy. I’m excited for readers to experience a slice of the world we’ve built, and discover its connection to the game.

As one of the UK’s most celebrated comic publishers, 2000 AD has spent decades producing acclaimed science fiction, fantasy and horror comics. With SILENT HILL: Townfall set in the remote Scottish island of St. Amelia, the partnership was a natural fit, bringing together a distinctly British setting and one of the country’s most enduring comic institutions.

SILENT HILL: Townfall – The Dock House will be available as part of 2000 AD Prog 2500, the landmark issue, in all good newsagents and comic stores on September 16, 2026 in the UK, and September 30, 2026 in the USA. Fans globally can also read the issue digitally through the 2000 AD Webstore and App.

Releasing on PlayStation®5, Steam®, and Epic Games Store on September 24, 2026, fans can pre-purchase SILENT HILL: Townfall. For more information, visit the official website.

505 Games – 20th Anniversary Trailer and Steam Sale

505 Games today celebrates its 20th anniversary with a new trailer honouring two decades of memorable games, creative partnerships, and their many wonderful player communities. In celebration of this milestone, 505 Games has launched a limited-time Steam Publisher Sale, running from September 10 to 24, inviting players to find their new favorite game as a special anniversary discount.

Visit the 505 Games Steam Publisher Sale:

https://store.steampowered.com/sale/505gamespublishersale2026

As 505 Games enters its third decade, the publisher remains firmly focused on the future. The anniversary trailer spotlights four highly anticipated titles: Nivalis Nights, a neon-soaked cyberpunk life simulation; ExeKiller, a retro-futuristic cyber-western first-person action adventure; Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, a new 2.5D gothic metroidvania action RPG; and the newly revealed 4 Player co-op Mayhem à la Carte, an innovative blend of cooking chaos and first-person shooter action.

A special mention also goes to the Assetto Corsa franchise, which has grown alongside the publisher over the years. Following the Steam Early Access launch of Assetto Corsa EVO, and with Assetto Corsa Rally continuing its development journey, the franchise remains committed to delivering some of the most authentic and immersive racing and rally simulation experiences in the genre.

Further strengthening this promising lineup, the recent acquisition of the WUCHANG IP and the announcement of an upcoming sequel provide soulsliske action RPG fans with another compelling reason to look forward to 505 Games’ future.

Together, these titles build on 20 years of publishing expertise while embodying the spirit that continues to define 505 Games: pride in the worlds it has helped bring to life and genuine excitement for the experiences still to come.

Since 2006, 505 Games has published and distributed over 200 games across successive generations of console, PC, and mobile platforms. Behind that longevity is decades of sector experience and an accomplished senior leadership team in Italy, many of whom have been with the company since its earliest days. That continuity has provided a stable foundation from which 505 Games has been able to experiment, evolve, and pursue new opportunities.

Rami Galante, joint CEO of 505’s parent company, Digital Bros, and co-founder of 505 Games, said:

“When we started, we weren’t thinking about milestones or imagining where 505 Games would be 20 years later. Our focus was on building strong partnerships, bringing great games to players, and earning our place in a highly competitive industry. Reaching this milestone is something we’re incredibly grateful for. It is ultimately a testament to the resilience, talent, and commitment for the people who have shaped 505 Games along the way.”

Raffi Galante, fellow joint CEO and co-founder, concluded by looking to the past as a good lens through which to view the present – and future for the sector.

“The games industry has transformed dramatically over the past two decades, and one of the reasons 505 Games is still here today is that we’ve learned to adapt alongside it. As the industry shifted towards digital distribution, online communities, and ongoing player engagement, we evolved as well. What has remained constant is our focus on delivering great games and connecting them with the players who love them.”

Across its 20 years, the publisher’s catalogue has included beloved titles such as the Assetto Corsa Franchise, DEATH STRANDING on PC, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Terraria, Ghostrunner, and Human Fall Flat, reflecting the breadth of studios, genres, and players that have shaped the publishers first two decades.

The anniversary trailer brings that journey together, celebrating the developers, partners, teams, and communities behind the games. Alongside it, the Steam Publisher Sale gives new and long-standing players the opportunity to discover or revisit a broad selection of titles from the 505 Games catalog at special prices throughout the anniversary period.

Visit the 505 Games Steam Publisher Sale from September 10 – 24, 2026 to explore the full line-up and offers.
