Fasten your seatbelts, racers, because today Milestone is announcing a free demo for Screamer, its newest arcade racing game. Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, the demo offers a glimpse of Screamer’s unique blend of innovative racing mechanics and fighting action, set within a rich narrative unfolding in a dystopian world inspired by anime aesthetics and futuristic vibes: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/
Watch the demo trailer here:
Featuring contributions from international partners including Polygon Pictures and Troy Baker, the game is available with a 30% discount as part of a limited-time offer rolling out across both digital platforms and retail stores.
The demo immerses players in the first six chapters of the biggest illegal street-racing tournament ever. Organized by the enigmatic Mr. A, this underground tournament brings together five teams of fearless racers eager to settle long-standing rivalries rooted in their past. Players will immediately have access to the Downtown Run track and the Green Reapers team, former Private Military Contractors seeking to redefine their identity after recent events have shaken the team’s balance. By progressing through The Tournament, players will also unlock Lavinia from the Jupiter Stormers, along with two additional tracks: The Port and Stadium Olympus. Like Downtown Run, these are set in the near-future city of Neo Rey, just one of the four environments featured in the full game.
Beyond the main campaign, the demo also includes two of the six game modes that complete the Screamer lineup, which are also available in local split-screen. In Race mode, players can take full control and fine-tune every aspect of the gameplay, enjoying complete freedom and deep gameplay customization. In Team Races, they join forces with other characters in special races where final rankings are determined by both final position and KOs executed. The latter will be the core of the upcoming Ranked Team Races, launching on June 18 and introducing a fresh competitive layer to the Screamer online experience.
Today, Ghost Ship Games and Coffee Stain Publishing have launched the highly anticipated roguelite spin-off, Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, into Early Access! Available now on Steam, miners can drill into the core of Hoxxes IV either solo or as a group, exploring a darker side of the planet and its more hostile citizens.
In Rogue Core, underground mining missions to extract Expenite have lost all contact with the Company in a planet-wide Grayout. It’s up to the Reclaimers, an elite dwarven corporate security force, to race against the clock and restore order. Players must break through the electromagnetic Grayout Barrier and scavenge for tools and weapons, ultimately travelling further down to close the Rift Gate and save Hoxxes IV. But the journey might not be as easy as it sounds…
Players ready to fight to the centre of Hoxxes IV can look forward to a variety of features:
Five New Classes – Players can move through the stages as part of an elite security team, taking on one of five Reclaimer class types – the Guardian, Spotter, Falconer, Slicer, and Retcon – each with their own specialised capabilities.
Race Against The Clock – Reclaimers must work quickly to breach and secure each mine, racing against the clock while balancing mission requirements. Those looking for an extra fast-paced challenge can do so through the Gauntlet missions, which introduce a difficulty beyond anything before seen in the Deep Rock Galactic franchise.
Sharing The Wealth – During a run, Reclaimers will have the opportunity to upgrade their tools, weapons and abilities, some of which are pulled from a shared draw of upgrades. Other times, dwarves will need to vote on Risk Vectors – balancing upgrades with increased difficulty. Trusty robot assistant, Ellis, will also be on hand to process Expenite into valuable upgrades.
Rock Solid Progression – Beyond runs, Reclaimers can drive in-game progression by completing Intel tasks to unlock further Clearance Levels in the Mission Terminal. Improvements (both aesthetic and tactical) can be earned through the Enhancements, Pickaxe, and Loadout terminals, located aboard the Ramrod.
Fresh And Familiar Faces – As some of the deepest dig sites on Hoxxes IV, creatures new and familiar lurk in the deep, increasing the threat level of each run. As part of the recently discovered fauna, players can expect to encounter Rafkan, Shatterclaw and Core Spawn hordes spawning from the riftgate – a portal found deep within each mining site.
Workouts For Beer – Dwarven security professionals have the RV-09 Ramrod to decompress in between dives – a space-faring rig controlled by the AI OMEGA. But before cracking open a beer, miners must enter OMEGA’s Bar and Fitness to tackle calorie-burning challenges to earn their downtime.
“Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core has been a passion project for the team, and we’re glad to see that enthusiasm shared throughout the Deep Rock Galactic community,” comments Mikkel Martin Pedersen, Co-Founder of Ghost Ship Games and Game Director of Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core. “We’re giving miners a brand new way to interact with Hoxxes IV, and we can’t wait for them to see the Company in a completely new light.”
Following an over $370 million global box office run and earning widespread acclaim from audiences and critics alike, Warner Bros. Pictures’ Sinners adds “haunted house” to its repertoire as it joins Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights lineup of immersive experiences beginning Friday, August 28 at Universal Orlando Resort and Thursday, September 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Since debuting in 2025, Sinners became the highest grossing original horror film, garnering a record-breaking 16 Academy-Award nominations and four Oscar® wins. Written, directed and produced by Ryan Coogler, alongside fellow Proximity Media producers Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian, the film takes place in 1930s Mississippi Delta, where twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to their hometown to open a juke joint for their community. Celebration turns to panic as a troupe of unrelenting vampires crash the opening night, threatening to violently curse the guests in a brutal battle for survival.
“It’s been incredible to see audiences connect with Sinners in such a powerful way,” said Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian, producers of Sinners and founders of Proximity Media, in a joint statement. “Now, partnering with Halloween Horror Nights gives fans the chance to step even deeper into the world of the film — to feel the music, the atmosphere and the tension all around them. Watching it come to life on this scale has been really special for all of us.”
The terrifying Halloween Horror Nights house will transport guests back in time to the popular Club Juke where they will quickly realize that nothing is as it seems when nefarious, red-eyed vampires Remmick, Bert and Joan appear with their insatiable hunger. As they attempt to evade the vampires at every turn, fans will encounter some of their favorite characters lifted straight from the film, including Sammie, Mary, Annie, Pearline and Cornbread. Caught in a deadly struggle between twins Smoke and Stack and the bloodthirsty vampires, guests must survive the night – because the terror will only relent once the sun rises.
“At Halloween Horror Nights, we push the boundaries of what a live horror experience can be,” said John Murdy, Executive Producer, Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Studios Hollywood. “Just as Ryan Coogler’s Academy Award winning film, Sinners re-invented the vampire movie, we are re-inventing the haunted house and creating new ways to scare our guests that we’ve never attempted and are thrilled to bring this amazing story to life in a truly terrifying and fully immersive way.”
“The moment Sinners premiered, we knew it was an undeniable fit for Halloween Horror Nights and it’s an honor to bring this story to life,” said Mike Aiello, Senior Director of Entertainment Creative Development at Universal Orlando Resort. “It’s rare for a film to fully satisfy hardcore horror fans while also inviting new audiences into the genre—and that’s exactly what Sinners does. Its world, characters and intensity will translate into a relentless haunted house. We can’t wait for our fans to step inside and experience the horror firsthand in a way that only Halloween Horror Nights can deliver.”

Age of Umbra: Sallowlandsis an all-new, six-part Daggerheart mini-series from Critical Role, set in a dark and foreboding fantasy world, debuting July 9 on Beacon, Twitch, and YouTube. Return to the blighted Halcyon Domain, as five misfits seek solace within the mysteries of a new region: The Sallowlands. This swathe of cracked badlands holds secrets that could lead them to salvation – or into the jaws of ancient horror.
The Halcyon Domain is a bleak realm, rotting in the wake of its Pantheon’s abandonment, where ancient wonders now crumble slowly into ruin. The Sallowlands region expands upon the world built in Season 1: A once-vibrant lake of the Old World now lies sunken and barren, a canyon desert of swirling dust storms and desperate communities holding fast to the light. Against this ghastly backdrop a new tale is told, when a surprising development sends a group of outcasts and survivors off the edges of the map in search of answers.
Game Master Matthew Mercer leads this standalone adventure, and is joined by a cast including Critical Role co-founder Laura Bailey and familiar faces Jennifer English, Abubakar Salim, Vico Ortiz, and Zachery Renauldo. They’ll encounter brutal adversaries and high-stakes in this dark and emotional actual play, which explores themes of desperation, survival, and love in the face of overwhelming odds.

DAGGERHEART
Age of Umbra is a playable campaign frame designed by Matthew Mercer and is one of several campaign frames included in the Daggerheart Core Set, but like any Daggerheart game, it is made anew through collaborative worldbuilding of the players and GM.
Daggerheart, an original TTRPG from Darrington Press, is a flexible fantasy roleplaying system built for long-term campaign play and emotionally rich storytelling. Designed for quick onboarding, Daggerheart blends classic fantasy themes with modern, streamlined mechanics, emphasizing fast, narrative-driven combat and collaborative worldbuilding. Daggerheart’s first expansion Daggerheart: Hope & Fearis now available to pre-order, nearly doubling the worldbuilding and character building toolset.
Age of Umbra showcases a darker tone of Daggerheart that some players may want to explore and make their own, standing in contrast to the bright whimsy of The Menagerie one-shots and the holiday themes set in the 1980’s of A Daggerheart Critmas Story. This series dives into the system’s more haunting and heroic potential, where stakes are high, and every choice brings danger tinged with hope.

Independent game development studio Aberratic Studios is thrilled to announce that a playable demo for Symbiosis, its upcoming sci-fi cooperative hero-shooter, is officially live on Steam. Blending fast-paced exploration, tactical base-building, and high-stakes survival, Symbiosis delivers a unique hybrid and addictive experience! Watch the official demo trailer now.
Survive, Build, and Evolve Side-by-Side
Set in a shifting, procedurally generated alien world, Symbiosis tasks players – either solo or in close cooperation with a partner – with exploring uncharted biomes, establishing robust defensive bases, and evolving their characters to withstand massive, unrelenting waves of mechanical hybrids. Balancing the split-second precision of a hero-shooter with the macro-strategy of a tower defense game, success relies on resource management, clever base layouts, and harnessing devastating character-specific abilities.
The Lore: Reclaiming Lost Worlds
In the far future, the authoritarian Centralized Human Republic (C.H.R.) ordained that every independent colony relinquish total control to their central rule. This tyrannical decree sparked violent pockets of rebellion across the galaxy, filling the Republic’s deep-space penal colonies to maximum capacity.
To manage the endless tide of new inmates, the C.H.R. now offers the most gifted and dangerous prisoners a grim choice: serve out a lifetime sentence in an overcrowded, maximum-security facility, or work off their debt to society as expendable planetary scouts. Players step into the boots of these selected few, dropped onto hostile worlds to reclaim territory lost to catastrophic, abandoned experiments. They must adapt, build, and fight together – or die trying.

Studio Wildcard today announced the launch of Fantastic Tames Season 1, a premium creature pack for ARK: Survival Ascended available on PC Steam & Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Fantastic Tames Season 1 introduces fresh ways for Survivors to dominate the battlefield, outmaneuver rivals, and adapt to ever-changing threats with a trio of extraordinary creatures forged from ARK’s most mystical anomalies.
With Season 1, today players gain immediate access to the Burrowbuck, a swift and elusive rabbit-like tame who can create underground ‘burrows’ within which players can build bases, along with highly agile jumping and ambushing abilities for guerilla warfare. Two additional Fantastic Tames in Season 1 will be arriving later this year:
Cerberax (Q3 2026) – A towering three-headed frontline beast designed for coordinated multi-rider combat, where each head delivers devastating elemental attacks that can chain together into destructive combo abilities.
Enigmasaur (Q4 2026) – A mysterious shape-shifting entity capable of mimicking nearby creatures and stealing their unique abilities, allowing Survivors to adapt to nearly any situation through deception and disguise.
Skittish but clever, the Burrowbuck is an elusive creature that is quick to vanish when threatened, kicking up blinding dirt before it tunnels away underground.
Also launching alongside the Burrowbuck today is the Araneo TLC Update, a free creature enhancement voted into development by the ARK community during Extra Life 2025 charity livestream. The reworked Araneo spider is now a versatile tactical mount featuring updated hunting mechanics and tactical web abilities which make it a dangerous ambush predator. No longer content to skitter at ground level, these overgrown spiders have begun claiming the high ground, using web-lines to traverse elevated terrain then dropping down from above to wrap up unsuspecting prey in webbing before subduing them with a venomous bite.
The revamped Araneo descends from shadows with enhanced mobility, tactical webbing abilities, and a deadly new role as ARK’s ultimate ambush predator.
Fantastic Tames Season 1 is available beginning today for $9.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Epic Games Store and Steam PC.
ARK: Survival Ascended includes access to all of ARK’s worlds, including Scorched Earth, Aberration, Extinction, ARK Genesis Part 1 and Part 2. Available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC and Steam, players will create a Survivor, form a tribe, and then tame, train, breed & ride dinosaurs within a living ecosystem.
