Retro Games Ltd., in partnership with PLAION REPLAI, today confirmed that THEQUICKSHOT II is available now at an RRP of $39.99, bringing one of the most iconic joysticks in home-computer gaming back into players’ hands. This new joystick has been faithfully recreated and precision-engineered for modern retro play.

Watch today’s launch trailer for THEQUICKSHOT II on YouTube here:

Originally launched in the early 1980s, the QuickShot II became a staple of home-computer gaming. Now, THEQUICKSHOT II has been rebuilt to deliver the same unmistakable feel players remember, while addressing the limitations of vintage hardware with modern reliability and responsiveness.

Designed to be played, not just displayed, THEQUICKSHOT II features an all-microswitch internal design, delivering immediate, reliable inputs with distinct click points for every direction and its fire button. This ensures precise eight-way control with no dead zones or vague movement, even during the most demanding arcade-style gameplay.

The joystick includes eight action and function buttons, providing full gamepad-style functionality, alongside a rapid auto-fire switch, a defining feature of the original which has now been engineered to modern standards. Stabilizing suction cups allow for confident single-handed play, while refined ergonomics and a generous 1.8m cable make THEQUICKSHOT II ideal for contemporary gaming setups.

Faithful to the original QuickShot II’s instantly recognizable silhouette, grip, and stance, the design has been carefully preserved rather than reimagined. Developed by Retro Games Ltd., whose hardware recreations are known for their accuracy and authenticity, THEQUICKSHOT II has been designed to sit naturally alongside modern retro systems such as THEC64, THEA500, and The Spectrum.

THEQUICKSHOT II is compatible with most popular games and computer systems and is available now at Amazon, at an RRP of $39.99.

The Midnight Walkers Out Today in Early Access

Oneway Ticket Studios is thrilled to announce that its hardcore zombie shooter, The Midnight Walkers, is out today on PC in Steam Early Access.

The Midnight Walkers proved to be a hit during October’s Steam Next Fest, becoming one of the top ten most downloaded demos, and just last week, it surpassed 300,000 wishlists on Steam.

Locked in an enormous multifloor megacomplex during a zombie outbreak, The Midnight Walkers sees players forced into a deadly game of survival by the megalomaniac Mr Nobody. Players not only have to fight off the restless undead, but also their fellow contestants.

In this PvEvE game, players will hunt down valuable loot, and gear across several floors of the Liberty Grand Center, fending off zombies with weapons such as Sledgehammers, Bows, Katanas, and Pistols.

As each game progresses, poison gas spreads throughout the complex, forcing players to flee to new floors via stairwells or elevators, and pushing opposing players into an ever-shrinking safe space. The more enemies nearby, the harder it is to safely extract, ratcheting up the tension as players attempt to leave with their gear and their life — or leave with nothing at all.

Oneway Ticket Studios plans to update The Midnight Walkers throughout its early access period, with new weapons and floors to be added in the future, along with an entirely unique PvE mode planned for release later in 2026.

“We’re thrilled to finally be launching The Midnight Walkers,” said Ray Song, Game Director at Oneway Ticket Studios. “We’re committed to not use Early Access as a shield for incomplete quality, but to build and improve The Midnight Walkers alongside our players. We’re so excited to see players step into the harsh, zombie-filled world of the Liberty Grand Center megacomplex for the first time.”

Crimson Desert New Featurette Highlights Story, World, and Gameplay

Geek News, News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

Pearl Abyss has released a new featurette video offering an in-depth look at Crimson Desert, detailing the game’s protagonist, expansive open world and some of the game elements.

This video details story and motivation for Kliff, the game’s main character, and the continent of Pywel, a seamless open world where the story unfolds. Pywel features sprawling wilderness, bustling cities, ancient ruins and diverse regions, all set against a backdrop of escalating conflict and supernatural danger.

Players take on the role of Kliff, a warrior of the Greymanes, a faction from the northern region of Pailune known for its commitment to peace and unity. Crimson Desert begins in the aftermath of that peace being shattered, tasking Kliff with reuniting the Greymanes and reclaiming their homeland. As the journey expands, players discover that the fate of the entire continent is at stake.

A central threat emerges from the Abyss, a mysterious realm whose growing imbalance sends fragments crashing into Pywel. There are those who would exploit these remnants, pushing the world toward chaos. Restoring balance to the Abyss and confronting those who exploit its power become key elements of the narrative.

The featurette also outlines Crimson Desert’s open-world structure. Pywel is divided into five distinct regions: Hernand, Pailune, Demeniss, Delesyia and the Crimson Desert, each offering its own stories, environments and challenges. While the main quest follows Kliff’s journey, players are free to explore the world in any order, taking faction-driven quests, large-scale battles, fortress sieges and smaller, character-focused missions.

As the story progresses, two additional playable characters join Kliff. Each character features unique combat styles, skills and weapons, allowing players to experience exploration and combat in different ways.

Exploration plays a major role, with players able to traverse Pywel on horseback, climb terrain, glide across distances and later access advanced traversal options such as a missile-firing mech and a dragon. The world is filled with hidden treasures, ancient mechanisms, puzzles and points of interest designed to reward curiosity and discovery.

Combat encounters range from enemy soldiers and sorcerers to ferocious beasts and machines, testing players’ adaptability and skill. Powerful artifacts and equipment can be earned through quests, combat or exploration, while knowledge gathered from the world and its inhabitants provides clues and guidance, or even opens paths to acquire new skills.

Pre-orders are now live across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Game Store and Apple Mac.

Starship Troopers: Extermination Update 1.9 Released

Geek News, News, PlayStation 5 News, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

Today, Offworld Industries and Knights Peak unlocked new content, performance, optimization improvements and bug fixes for your favorite bug-killin’ action game, Starship Troopers: Extermination. Everyone fights, no one quits!

This 1.9 update, which is now live in game, features:

A new enemy bug, the Fire Bombardier. Instead of the mercy of an immediate explosive death, these sadistic bugs prefer to burn their victims alive leaving a zone of flaming devastating in their wake making it harder for allies to rescue their downed compatriots.
New Ambush Mutators: Be advised, early reports are indicating that the Arachnid’s may have developed new tactics. Keep your eyes peeled for new scenario modifiers! Players can now encounter Royal Guard, Inferno, and Fire Bombardier Ambushes
Royal Guards have left the safety of their Hives, and have been spotted roaming the battlefield. Roaming Royal Guards may attack during Horde and ARC/AAS Defense.
Armory tuning and unlockable modifications like
- ATK Rounds are purpose-built to penetrate the thickest chitin. ‘Advanced Tiger Kill’ rounds are commonly used during corporate hunting expeditions, but the loss of a sporting challenge has many hunters criticizing their usage, as a skilled Sniper using standard-issue ammo can out-perform them with a few well-placed rounds to the nerve stem and bypassing the carapace all together.
- Mag Optic provides an unobstructed, elevated sight picture with a low level of magnification. Intended for close to mid-range, these sights can offer some of the flexibility of a higher-power scope, with the battlefield awareness of a Reflex Sight.
- Napalm Grenades modification allowing the Trooper to saturate the battlefield with a scatter of incendiary death. Napalm Grenades provide an alternative ammo option for Demolishers and other pyromaniacs. These grenades create lingering flames that quickly incinerate trapped bugs, and create zones of deadly fire that bugs cannot cross unharmed, but will be less effective against mobile targets (and fire proof bugs) that can escape the flames. Napalm Grenades can also be used to destroy bug corpses.
Tweaks and updates to weapon mod icons, Prosthetic Servos, Carnage Corpse bug piles, Mission Tuning, side objectives and several other fixes.

The full list of changes is available in the official patch notes.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is a 16-player co-op FPS with six unique classes that puts players on the far-off frontlines of an all-out battle against the Bugs! Squad up, grab your rifle, and do your part as an elite Deep Space Vanguard Trooper to take back planets from the Arachnid threat! Starship Troopers: Extermination is available for PlayStation 5, Windows (Steam), and Xbox Series X/S.
