PQube and Dragonis Games are proud to announce that Necrophosis: Full Consciousness is available now on PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The complete edition brings Necrophosis to console for the first time, alongside the newly released Subconsciousness DLC.
Players can now step into the decaying world of Necrophosis, where the surrealist visions of Zdzisław Beksiński meet the cosmic dread of H.P. Lovecraft. Built around exploration, puzzle-solving and confronting the unknown across other dimensions, Necrophosis: Full Consciousness delivers an experience unlike anything else in the genre.
The launch trailer unveils new grotesque landscapes from Necrophosis alongside previously unseen footage from the Subconsciousness DLC.
Players begin as Consciousness, trapped within a vessel devoid of memory, exploring cursed landscapes to unravel fragments of the truth. The journey then descends into Subconsciousness, included in full in the console edition, navigating darker realms, encountering new entities and uncovering truths that Consciousness alone could never reach.
The game features several stunning and distant realms of death in a world consumed by Necrophosis. Players have the chance to explore the macabre landscapes while diving deeper into the echoes of the dying cosmos, where narrative poems enhance the enigmatic backstory and players engage with ancient gods and Lovecraftian-inspired entities, including Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Khnum and the Yellow King.
Each environment features minimalist, droning ambience layered with whispers, distant groans and echoing cryptic voices that heighten tension and unease. Face gods, eldritch entities and Lovecraftian beings who have taken refuge here, learning their histories and the horrors they embody. Return to the realm of death in the Necrophosis: Subconsciousness expansion, exploring new landscapes, entities and stories as your journey leads ever deeper.
The original soundtrack to Supermassive Games’ cinematic interactive drama / survival horror game Directive 8020 by 2-time BAFTA award-winning composer Jason Graves (The Dark Pictures Anthology, Dead Space, Tomb Raider, Until Dawn) is now streaming on all major music platforms here.
Game Synopsis:
Earth is dying and humanity is running out of time. 12 light years from home, Tau Ceti f offers a small sliver of hope. When the colony ship Cassiopeia crash lands on the planet, its crew soon realize they are far from being alone. In space, death takes many forms. Hunted by an alien organism capable of mimicking its prey, the crew of the Cassiopeia must outwit their pursuers to make it home alive. To help them survive, the choices you make are more important than ever! Evade real-time threats where any step could be your last. Decide who to trust in a world where anyone could be a deadly alien impostor. Featuring Hollywood actress, Lashana Lynch (Bob Marley: One Love, The Woman King) as the ground-breaking astronaut, ‘Young’, Directive 2020 is an immersive cinematic horror experience that blends intense survival gameplay with a branching narrative storyline. IN SPACE, DEATH TAKES MANY FORMS.
Soundtrack notes from composer Jason Graves:
“I composed a simple, three-note motif that is featured throughout the ship’s corridors in the guise of overly friendly, corporate music. It plays anytime you see the company logo pop up on screen.
‘Welcome To The Corinth Family’ is the first track on the album, and it begins and ends with the corporate, three note ID. Those same three notes are constantly playing in the background of the cue as well in different variations.
All of the sound design and UI bleeps and bloops were purposely tuned to the same key as this corporate music, resulting in a peaceful, tranquil feeling and harmony between the ship and its crew. Until things begin to go awry…then the entire tuning of the ship’s interior and UI sounds are disjunct and wrong in every possible way.
The true corporate intentions are revealed in track two, ‘Little Star,’ which has the same three notes spread over a constantly evolving, mysterious bed or pulsing orchestra and synth sounds. This same approach is used in chapter openings throughout the game, as a “previously on…” kind of tag.
I also introduce the main thematic concept of the protagonist – a shape-shifting creature of unknown origin. Just like the creature, notes bend and shift without any proper logic or predictability. These constantly changing, bending notes are featured throughout the entire score. Sometimes they feel slightly mysterious, other times completely off.
There’s also a theme for Brianne Young. ‘Young Eyes Open’ underscores many of the conversations and experiences you see through her eyes, beginning with awakening from hypersleep. It’s mostly hopeful with a tinge of the bending notes, hinting at darker possibilities in the future.
This same theme is implemented into a jazz combo with the track ‘Young At Heart,’ which underscores a ‘Two Days Before Launch’ flashback. It’s an excuse to have some fun and lean into something a bit unexpected, with some of the original orchestra and bending synth sounds leaking into the acoustic trio from time to time.”
Curveball Games and Poland based Gaming Factory are excited to announce that the smash hit JDM: Japanese Drift Master will be speeding its way to retail in August this year, as Curveball continues to build its thrilling physical portfolio. Released on PC in 2025 and then making its way to console in February this year, the release marks a continued partnership between Gaming Factory and Curveball Games.
Curveball Games will release JDM: Japanese Drift Master on PlayStation 5 for £34.99/$39.99/€39.99 in the EMEA and North American regions, with a planned release date of August 14th, 2026.
In JDM: Japanese Drift Master, you’ll get to discover Japan’s legendary car culture, between authentically designed and licensed models and stunningly realised drifting spots, all told through a hand-drawn, animated Manga comic-book style.
Quoted as ‘a hugely ambitious and earnest racer’ by IGN, and that it ‘delivers exactly what its name promises, aiming to bring back a long-lost racing experience’ by GameStar.
As players immerse themselves in the birthplace of drift, in an open world, story-driven experience, they’ll travel through narrow rural roads, vast highways and through modern cityscapes.
Using robust tuning options, you can choose between Arcade style racing or Simcade settings where all assists are off and your skills are truly put to the test.
As you travel through fictional Guntama, filled with more than 250km of main roads, racing tracks and instanced events, you’ll perform takeovers against winding mountain passes and contend against dynamic weather conditions and a full day/night cycle system.
Pre-Orders are NOW OPEN through Curveball’s retailer, The Game Collection as well as all major retailers across EMEA and North America.

Today, Owlcat Games has published a new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, introducing the self-sufficient and arrogant Aeldari Corsair Laarthyr Cairnareth. With his own path to follow, the new character is set to make a valuable addition to the player’s warband for those who want to risk being branded a radical for collaborating with xenos.
Laarthyr is an Anrathe, an Aeldari who was once bound to his Craftworld but abandoned rigid Asuryani tradition for freedom among the stars. But now he has left even that life behind, embarking alone on a mission that borders on the suicidal. Being a Way Seeker — an Aeldari psyker with the ability to navigate the Webway and guide his kin’s souls to the safety of the spirit stones — is both a blessing and a danger on his mission. It leads him to an Imperium world teeming with pathetic and narrow-minded mon-keigh, but teaming up with one of the Inquisition’s acolytes might be an arrangement that benefits both parties.
Laarthyr has valuable insights into the mysteries of the Warp, as well as the culture and psychology of xenos. In combat, he is a deadly close-quarters fighter who manipulates the warp to his advantage and hits his enemies’ weak points with his dual swords. He can also extend his insights and protection to his comrades-in-arms. All of these tools make him a valuable asset, especially if the acolyte dares recruit him at the risk of being branded a radical.
Fans can recruit Laarthyr in the current Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy closed beta, available to everyone who purchased one of the Founder’s packs on the website.
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy will launch on Windows PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) and consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S).

IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind the HITMAN franchise, and Amazon MGM Studios proudly announce the worldwide launch of 007 First Light. One of 2026’s most anticipated releases, 007 First Light invites players into an original, reimagined origin story of a young James Bond as he earns his place within MI6’s elite training program. 007 First Light is available now on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, on Amazon.com, as well as for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store.
In 007 First Light, players step into the shoes of 26-year-old James Bond, a promising yet sometimes reckless Royal Navy air crewman recruited into MI6’s rigorous training program for the once revered and newly resurrected, elite 00-Programme. For the first time in video games, fans will be able to experience Bond’s ascent at MI6 from a recruit into a fully-fledged spy, as his sharp instincts, resourcefulness, and heroism propel him through the ranks and into the world of high-stakes covert operations.
Blending IO Interactive’s signature fluid, creative approach to missions with a globe-trotting espionage thriller, players will navigate each mission through infiltration, investigation, and the art of the bluff. Players will be able to choose how to overcome obstacles and challenges through brute force, cunning strategy, or disarming wit. Armed with Q-Branch’s finest gadgets, Bond will travel across breathtaking and dangerous exotic set pieces that capture the elegance, danger, and spectacle synonymous with Bond, ensuring every mission feels like a blockbuster adventure.
“With 007 First Light, we set out to honor the incredible legacy of 007 while creating a Bond gaming experience like no other,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive. “This is a Bond still finding his footing, one players can grow with on his journey shaped by instincts, intelligence, and the resolve that ultimately built the character’s lasting impact.”
Star-Studded Ensemble Cast
To bring this original narrative to life, IO Interactive has assembled a standout cast. Rising star Patrick Gibson portrays James Bond in this reimagined origin story. He is joined by Priyanga Burford as the formidable M and Lennie James as Bond’s mentor John Greenway, alongside Alastair McKenzie as MI6’s tech wizard Q, Kiera Lester as Miss Moneypenny, and Noemie Nakai as the enigmatic Miss Roth. The ensemble cast also includes acclaimed actress Gemma Chan as the brilliant Dr. Selina Tan and Grammy Award winner Lenny Kravitz as the charismatic and unpredictable Pirate King Bawma. Further enriching the world of 007 First Light are special cameo appearances from Khaby Lame, the globally recognized creator and cultural sensation, alongside beloved British entertainer Jacksepticeye and legendary American streamer Shroud.
Iconic Sound
No James Bond experience is complete without a signature musical identity. Grammy-nominated artist Lana Del Rey, with legendary Bond film composer David Arnold, co-wrote and performed the game’s official theme song, “First Light”. In a blend of Del Rey’s signature vocals with Arnold’s sweeping orchestration, the track serves as the perfect atmospheric backdrop for Bond’s entry into a world defined by allure, danger, and consequence. The Flight, the UK duo, serves as the composers for 007 First Light’s score, delivering a bold soundtrack honoring the timeless legacy of the franchise’s sound, underscoring the game’s tension, elegance, and momentum. The game’s musical world is further expanded by cameo appearances from Superstar DJ Dimitri Vegas and drum and bass duo Chase & Status, who bring contemporary electronic energy to key in-game moments, with a high-voltage club sequence featuring original music from Chase & Status.
Time-Honored Partnerships
The game will feature the Aston Martin Valhalla supercar, heavily modified with Q-Branch’s latest advancements, for assistance in high-stakes encounters across global locations, alongside a selection of Jaguar Land Rover vehicles and a special Triumph motorcycle that help shape Bond’s journeys on land. Field operations are elevated with Leica’s camera, putting cutting-edge optics in the hands of the world’s most famous spy. In the game, Bond is equipped with OMEGA’s brand new Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light, a gadget-loaded essential that serves as a critical component on his adventure. Completing the look and lifestyle, 007 First Light partners with Orlebar Brown clothing, Coca-Cola, and Herman Miller, bringing the realism and immersiveness of these brands into the experience.
Cutting-Edge Technology
To achieve a new benchmark in visual fidelity, IO Interactive’s proprietary Glacier engine has been supercharged in partnership with NVIDIA. 007 First Light incorporates DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, maximizing frame rates on GeForce RTX PCs and laptops. Path Tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction will also be coming to 007 First Light later this summer.
007 First Light is available today on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, on Amazon.com, as well as for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch 2 version will follow later this Summer 2026. 007 First Light is available in Standard, Deluxe, Collector’s, and Legacy Editions.
