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

The Ultramarines, the noble sons of Macragge, stand as the very embodiment of discipline and duty in Warhammer 40,000. Guided by the Codex Astartes and the legacy of Roboute Guilliman, they are the Emperor’s finest: unyielding, methodical, and unwavering in the face of heresy. “Courage and Honour!” is not just a motto, but a way of war.

Slitherine is releasing a major wave of new content for Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector to celebrate this year’s Skulls 2026 Festival, featuring the new Ultramarines DLC, the 1.0 of the Crusade Mode, and a free week to try the base game on Steam for all players.

The Ultramarines Join the Fray

The new faction DLC introduces the iconic Ultramarines to the battlefield, with a comprehensive roster of units, available for all game modes:

HQ Commanders: Captain in Gravis Armor, Primaris Apothecary, and Primaris Librarian.
Troops: Incursors, Heavy Intercessors, and Intercessors.
Elites: Bladeguard Veterans, Terminators, Aggressors, and the Invictor Warsuit.
Fast Attack: Inceptors and the highly versatile Storm Speeder (available in Hailstrike, Hammerstrike, and Thunderstrike Loadouts).
Heavy Support: Eradicators, Eliminators, Redemptor Dreadnought, Ballistus Dreadnought, Gladiator (available in Lancer, Reaper, and Valiant Loadouts), and Hellblasters.

Major Update: Crusade Mode 1.0

A major update brings the roguelite-style Crusade Mode to its full 1.0 version. This challenging new gameplay feature focuses on building a basic army and fighting through waves of enemies to reclaim vital Imperial worlds. The major update includes:

Can select three lengths of Crusade, Short (1 planet), Medium (2) and Long (3);
Each planet has a number of zones, each with a number of battles within it against the same enemy faction;
Each Zone also has its own unique gameplay modifier and completing a zone gives a significant resource bonus and also a one-off choice of additional rewards;
The army starts with 1000 army cap, but only 500-600 points worth of units within it. Players are free to spend some of the initial resources to customize the starting force;
After each battle players earn HQ Tokens and Requisitions equal to the current Income for those two resources. This is shown in red on the strategy map. Income can be increased by some zone rewards.

Security 51 Playtest is Now Live on Steam

Alawar is excited to announce that the playtest for Security 51, an atmospheric horror security guard simulator, is now live on Steam. Inspired by Papers, Please and SCP-style paranoia, Security 51 puts players on duty deep inside Area 51, where every shift begins with a simple task: scan the staff, verify their clearances, and decide who can enter the elevator – and who absolutely mustn’t leave.

In Security 51, players work the checkpoint of an underground bunker where the elevator descends miles below the surface into unknown levels filled with laboratories, anomalies, inhumane experiments, and things better left unnamed. Everyone who passes through carries documents, passes, or verbal orders, but even perfect paperwork can hide something deeply wrong.

As each shift unfolds, players must check names, positions, clearance levels, times, and personnel counts while watching for suspicious behavior, incorrect answers, slurred speech, or documents that seem a little too perfect. Over time, new verification methods such as fingerprint checks and blood tests become available, raising the stakes with every decision. Was that employee careless, compromised, or no longer human? If you’re unsure, quarantine may be the safest option – though mistakes can have consequences that only reveal themselves shifts later.

Features:

Secure, Contain, Protect – Verify documents, names, positions, clearance levels, schedules, and suspicious inconsistencies.
Trust the Protocols – Use fingerprints, blood tests, quarantine procedures, and your own judgment to decide who gets through.
Face Bureaucratic Horror – Experience a tense blend of paperwork, paranoia, aliens, anomalies, and escalating uncertainty.
Live With the Consequences – Some mistakes are obvious immediately. Others may only become clear after several shifts.

As demand for stylish furniture rises, Chop Chop Inc. is ready to shine. This charming first-person simulation, created by former Endzone developers, invites players to fulfill their dream of building their own furnishing empire. After the title reached 30,000 wishlists on Steam in just two weeks, a brand-new demo of Chop Chop Inc. is now available there.

In Chop Chop Inc., players find themselves forced to make a fresh start after a surprise layoff at Furnox Corp. Armed with nothing but an axe, a few trees, and a thirst for revenge, they have to build a thriving furniture empire from a small workshop. A process that requires plenty of entrepreneurship. Felled trees are processed into planks and furniture pieces that can be sold and further developed. With new tools, machines, and automated production lines, efficiency steadily increases, transforming simple, crude furniture into luxurious interior sets and genuine designer pieces.

This is Chop Chop Inc.:

Extensive value chain – From log to plank, from plank to furniture, and from furniture to profit: this is the cycle players build in Chop Chop Inc.
New Regions and Biodiversity – New regions bring different tree species and character improvements, such as strength or stamina upgrades, while the empire’s unstoppable expansion opens up new, previously unimagined possibilities.
Every Piece of Wood Is Lumber – Whether it’s a sapling or an ancient tree: If it’s made of wood, it can be felled and, of course, processed!
Impressive designs – In Chop Chop Inc., the practicality of a piece of furniture isn’t necessarily questioned, which is why, among other things, there’s a heat-conducting wooden PC (the thermal properties of wood are, after all, unrivalled) and a wooden weight bench that not only builds muscle but also toughens players against splinters.

Chop Chop Inc. is set to release on Steam for PC in 2026.

Humanity’s next great industrial revolution has left Earth. Upstairs Games has officially launched Possible One: Lunar Industries into Early Access on Steam today, challenging players to establish humanity’s first permanent lunar colony using real-world technologies, strategic planning, and large-scale industrial expansion. From managing oxygen and radiation exposure to building sprawling off-world infrastructure, every decision could determine the future of life on the Moon.

In Possible One: Lunar Industries, players assume the role of a commander tasked with building and sustaining a lunar colony in one of the harshest environments imaginable. Construct habitats, manage vital infrastructure, oversee food production, and maintain the systems needed to keep colonists alive while balancing efficiency, survival, and long-term profitability.

Survival is only the beginning. Players must transform the moon into a thriving off-world industry by extracting lunar resources, refining valuable materials, and expanding production across the lunar surface. But space is unforgiving. Radiation, isolation, low gravity, and fragile infrastructure constantly threaten the colony as players push to create a self-sustaining future for humanity beyond Earth.
