Microids is delighted to announce Garfield – Escape from Monday, a brand-new 3D platforming adventure developed by OSome Studio. Get your lasagnas ready (and hide the spinach), as Garfield embarks on an unforgettable journey that is as dynamic as it is delicious. The game will be available on September 24, 2026, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

More than just a colorful adventure, Garfield – Escape from Monday captures the spirit of one of the world’s most beloved entertainment franchises in an all-new interactive experience. Designed to appeal to audiences nostalgic for Jim Davis’s famous “cattitude” and gaming enthusiasts, Garfield – Escape from Monday breaks the mold. Players will master the technicality of feline movements, manage unique abilities tied to 3 exclusive costumes Garfield can wear in-game (turkey, surfer, cowboy), and confront a variety of formidable bosses throughout their journey. This story into the heart of the nightmare promises to be a thrilling ride for players worldwide.

Red Alert: A Nightmare in the Kitchen… and in his Sleep!

For Garfield, spending most of his time sleeping is part of the routine. But spiraling into a bizarre nightmare full of vegetables, sugar-free candies, and other unimaginable horrors, even the world’s laziest cat knows something is wrong!

After Jon fed him spinach lasagna inspired by Chef Monday’s recipe, Garfield falls into a deep sleep… in order for Garfield to wake up from the nightmare and reactivate his taste buds, he must embark on a deliciously chaotic adventure, where players will explore worlds packed with enemies, challenges, and lasagna.

Thankfully, Garfield can rely on Jon and his friends Odie, Arlene and Pookie, as well as a collection of special costumes, including turkey, surfer and cowboy, each with its own unique skill, to overcome the dangers lurking within Garfield’s dreams.

Farmer’s Dynasty 2: Free Update Adds Riverside Sawmill Update

The momentum doesn’t stop. Following numerous patches since the Early Access release of Farmer’s Dynasty 2 and the latest free update „Historical Machines“ the rural open world of Green Thorn Valley now has another attraction. Independent development team UMEO Studios and publisher Toplitz Productions have released a new free content update, which introduces the Riverside Sawmill as a fully functional facility.

After purchasing the property in-game, aspiring farmers can use the sawmill as a production site for premium lumber, thus expanding the variety of goods they have available for use in their renovation projects or, of course, to generate a profit.

Logs transported to the sawmill can be processed in a variety of ways. They can be debarked and sold directly or cut into plank pallets, for example, which in turn can be sold immediately or dried to increase their market value.

To enhance the atmosphere of the lumberjack setting, water-based transportation for logs has been implemented. This opens new logistics routes and gameplay strategies, making the prime riverside location of the sawmill even more valuable.

Features of the Riverside Sawmill update at a glance:

  • New property available: Fully functioning sawmill as a premium production site with full visual customization
  • Water-based log transportation
  • New products, e.g. dried wood planks with increased value
  • New furniture based on new wood types
  • New achievements connected to the Riverside Sawmill
  • New machinery

The next step on the roadmap will be the „Beets & Potatoes“ Update, scheduled for next month. It will introduce not only new produce to the ever-expanding world of Farmer’s Dynasty 2, but add a new storage building as well as four crop-specific machines, including potato harvesters and beets seeders.

When the Boss invites you to his birthday party, you’d better be there! Today, Global Publisher 505 Games and developer INGAME Studios are thrilled to share that Update 21, a massive free update for their bombastic co-op FPS heist game Crime Boss: Rockay City is now available for all platforms.

The game’s evolution into this new Version 2.0 marks not only the 2nd anniversary of the game’s Steam launch, but a major milestone of over 1 million units sold to date. This new update, representing INGAME Studio’s long-term commitment to improving the game, thanks to player feedback, is more than just a content release – it represents the next chapter in Crime Boss: Rockay City’s evolution introducing a brand-new story mode, new missions, full modding support, and a wealth of gameplay improvements built on more than three years of post launch development.

“We’ve never stopped believing in Crime Boss: Rockay City and the unique experience it can offer players,” said Jarek Kolar, CEO of INGAME Studios. “Update 21 represents everything we’ve learned over the past three years. It’s our biggest step yet toward making the game more accessible, more creative, and more enjoyable for every type of player.”

Crime Boss: Rockay City 2.0 delivers highly anticipated content for players to enjoy.

  • New Story Mode: A fully structured single-player campaign, players can now experience the rise of criminal mastermind Travis Baker and his empire, without the roguelite systems of the original campaign. In this mode, say good-bye to randomization, permadeath, and experience the iconic criminal’s rise to power in an accessible format. Relive fan-favorite cinematic cutscenes from the original, and experience brand-new cutscenes and narrative content. Story mode incorporates storylines featured in the Gold Cup and Cagnali’s Order DLCs, bringing key events together into a cohesive narrative experience.
  • New Missions to expand the City’s Criminal Underworld: Two new additional missions – “Hell’s Kitchen”, a new high-stakes heist mission, and “Close Encounter”, an otherworldly extraterrestrial Rockay Rumble Mission – provide fresh challenges for new and veteran players.

As part of the update alongside the 2.0 contents, INGAME STUDIOS is releasing the full version of the game’s modding tools for PC players, which will now allow the creation and development of custom characters, new weapons, original missions, and entirely new game modes.

As a studio that embraces their modding community, INGAME Studios will continue to showcase their talents through regular showcases on their YouTube channel, and are also exploring new opportunities to bring the best community-created content to console players through curated DLC releases.

Crime Boss: Rockay City 2.0 offers the most complete version of the game to date, but stay tuned – Travis’ story isn’t over yet!

THE GUILD Returns with Feature‑length Film

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of her groundbreaking web series The Guild, creator and star of the pioneering digital comedy Felicia Day today announced the Kickstarter campaign behind the full‑length reunion movie will launch July 20, 2026. This campaign will be created by fans and for fans, bringing back the beloved “Knights of Good” for a new adventure and embracing the same community‑driven spirit that made the original series a hit.

Visit watchtheguild.com to sign up for updates.

Spanning six seasons and 70 episodes (plus three music videos), The Guild chronicled the real‑life and in‑game exploits of the “Knights of Good,” a mismatched online guild. It was one of the first creator‑owned web series to find mainstream success, working with fans and tapping into crowdfunding early on to continue creating new episodes, years before Kickstarter launched. The comedy focused on fantasy MMORPG players whose virtual escapades often spilled into their everyday lives, celebrating gaming, cosplay and fandom as vibrant communities rather than punchlines.

Felicia Day originally conceived the show in 2007 as a self‑funded passion project. When funding ran short after the first three episodes, she added a PayPal donation button on the show’s website, and the outpouring of support and fan contributions enabled her to complete the first season. The reunion movie aims to continue that legacy by reuniting Codex and the rest of the guild while honoring the series’ enduring fan community.

“When I set out to make The Guild, it was because I wanted to show that gamers and nerds like us can be the heroes of our own stories,” Day shared. “Hollywood didn’t really get what we were about, so I built the show myself. We made six seasons because our community proved there was an audience for it. With the twentieth anniversary approaching, we get to do it again: prove the studios wrong and have a blast doing it!”

From left to right: Sandeep Parikh, Vincent Caso, Felicia Day, Jeff Lewis, Robin Thorsen, and Amy Okuda.

The Guild proved that creator‑owned web series could be commercially and culturally successful, and its popularity earned it six Streamy Awards, four International Academy of Web Television Awards, a spot on Rolling Stone’s list of “The Net’s Best Serial Shows,” and even a place in the Smithsonian Institution’s collection with Codex’s costume. The Guild’s legacy continues with comic books, music videos, a stage musical adaptation that debuted readings in 2025 and 2026, and now a reunion movie.

The Kickstarter campaign will finance a feature‑length movie that reunites Codex (Felicia Day), Zaboo (Sandeep Parikh), Vork (Jeff Lewis), Tink (Amy Okuda), Clara (Robin Thorsen) and Bladezz (Vincent Caso), and supporters can receive updates as they’re announced. Fans can sign up now at watchtheguild.com to receive a launch‑day reminder and information about limited‑edition rewards, including a free launch pin when you back a physical tier. More specifics on reward tiers, production timelines and stretch goals will be released when the Kickstarter goes live on July 20.

Legendary Diretor John Carpenter Returns to Midsummer Scream 2026

News, Geek News

Midsummer Scream, the world’s largest Halloween and horror convention, today announced that legendary filmmaker John Carpenter will return to the Long Beach Convention Center, August 7–9, 2026 celebrating two landmark creative works releasing simultaneously this August: CATHEDRAL, his debut original graphic novel, and the companion album of the same name.

CATHEDRAL is co-authored with Sandy King, acclaimed producer, editor, and CEO of Storm King Comics, Carpenter’s wife, longtime creative partner, and the first woman to found a comic publishing house. CATHEDRAL the graphic novel publishes August 4 via Storm King Comics; the album arrives August 7 on Sacred Bones Records which is the same day Midsummer Scream opens its doors. The dual release marks the first time in Carpenter’s storied five-decade career that he has written an original graphic novel, representing his most ambitious cross-medium project to date.

“Midsummer Scream is exactly the right place to unleash CATHEDRAL on the world,” commented John Carpenter. “These monsters have been living in my head long enough. I can’t wait to share them with the fans who will truly appreciate what we’ve created.”

Sandy King added, “There’s no better audience than the Midsummer Scream crowd to be the first to experience CATHEDRAL. This is a community that lives for horror done right, and John and I are thrilled to bring this nightmare to them first.”

A propulsive horror story, it centers on an abandoned cathedral in downtown Los Angeles concealing a centuries-old evil. When a police officer is murdered at the site, Lieutenant Christine Marks and her detectives descend into its catacombs and into a nightmare they may not survive. The book is also co-written with Sean Sobczak, with illustrations by Federico De Luca and Luis Guaragna, and lettering by Marshall Dillon. The companion album, created by Carpenter with longtime musical collaborators Cody Carpenter (synths) and Daniel Davies (guitar), functions as both a standalone record and a chapter-by-chapter score to the graphic novel. Leaning into a heavier sonic palette than the trio’s acclaimed Lost Themes series, Carpenter has described CATHEDRAL as “kind of our first heavy metal album.” The debut single, “Lord of the Underground,” is available now and fans can pre-order the book at https://johncarpenterscathedral.com.

VIP LISTENING PARTY

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7

On Friday evening, August 7, Midsummer Scream will host a listening party for CATHEDRAL the album, kicking off with an exclusive VIP portion. The first hour (7pm-8pm) of the event is reserved strictly for a select group of pre-purchasers, featuring a special appearance by Storm King Comics CEO Sandy King. During this exclusive window, Sandy will share the definitive story behind the project – from the dream that inspired it to its evolution as a groundbreaking cross-medium work.

To secure your spot for this exclusive VIP portion, be one of the first 50 attendees to visit the Storm King booth and purchase the bundle, which includes an exclusive access credential for the special presentation for purchaser and guest. Following this initial hour, the room will open to all Midsummer Scream attendees to join the listening party for the remainder of the evening.

GRAPHIC NOVEL & ALBUM SIGNING WITH JOHN CARPENTER

SATURDAY, AUGUST 8

On Saturday, August 8, John Carpenter will appear at the Storm King Comics booth on the convention showfloor to sign copies of CATHEDRAL the graphic novel and album, a rare opportunity for fans to meet the director in person.

A valid Midsummer Scream admission is required to attend all the events listed above.
