Strategos, the real-time tactics wargame focused on large-scale warfare in classical antiquity, will officially launch on January 20th.
Designed for players seeking historically grounded, mechanically deep battles, Strategos simulates warfare across nearly a thousand years of the ancient world. From the Hoplite armies of the Persian Wars to the legions of Imperial Rome and the rise of the Sasanian Empire, players can command thousands of troops on expansive battlefields shaped by terrain, morale, disorder, and command limitations.
Strategos emphasizes realism and systemic depth over arcade-style action. Armies maneuver in formation, react to morale shocks, pursue or rout enemies, and suffer from fatigue, disorder, and fog of war. Success depends not only on troop quality, but on positioning, timing, leadership, and the effective use of generals to maintain command and control across the battlefield.
Players can recreate historical engagements or design speculative matchups using an extensive custom battle system, selecting factions, eras, army sizes, terrain, and AI behavior. Historical battles such as Issos, Trebia, Ilipa, Magnesia, Zama, Adamclisi, Bibracte, Carrhae, and Raphia are included at launch, with additional scenarios planned post-release.
JDM will release with all of the content available on PC and Xbox.

The game will launch February 6, 2026 at 34,99 USD MSRP.
On launch day, players will also have access to the JDM: Made in USA DLC, hosting six, unlicensed vehicles, playing homage to muscle cars and the American unique drifting scene. The DLC will be sold for 5,99 USD.

MicroProse is proud to announce that Task Force Admiral – Vol.1: American Carrier Battles, the long-awaited 3D command simulation of US Navy carrier operations in 1942, will launch in Early Access on Steam on January 27th.
To mark this milestone, a public demo of Task Force Admiral is available now on Steam, giving players their first opportunity to experience the game’s distinctive approach to carrier warfare and real-time naval command.
Developed with extraordinary dedication to authenticity, Task Force Admiral places players in command of an American carrier task force during the most pivotal year of the Pacific War. This is not a simple wargame nor a traditional flight or naval sim — it is a full 3D, real-time, crisis-management experience that blends deep tactical decision-making, immersive first-person command, and the most meticulously researched WW2 naval assets ever brought to life in a game.
Indie game developer Sunnyside Games is happy to announce the arrival of the demo of its upcoming flame-wielding metroidvania Nocturnal 2 this January 27 on Steam. With over one hour of gameplay, the demo will allow players to explore an early section of the game, unlock abilities, experience the combat system, and discover elements of the lore. It has been carefully adapted to avoid major lore or structure spoilers from the full release, which is planned to launch later this year on Nintendo Switch and Steam.
Nocturnal 2 is an atmospheric Metroidvania in which you play as Ardeshir, bearer of the Enduring Flame, who sets out to explore the dark depths and towering heights of the forgotten city of Ytash in order to break the curse that has consumed his homeland
Creepy Jar, the Polish studio behind the smash-hit survival phenomenon, Green Hell, is ready to turn up the heat. The studio’s sophomore effort, StarRupture, is available now on Steam Early Access, inviting players to build, automate, and survive on a planet that’s literally on the brink of fiery destruction. Playing solo or with up to 4 players together, StarRupture’s Early Access release is the culmination of Creepy Jar’s well-earned experience alongside crucial feedback from their dedicated fans, and there’s so much more to come in the journey to 1.0.
Blending base building, survival, automation, and defensive combat into a single experience, StarRupture pushes players to think fast and plan smart as the environment becomes increasingly dangerous, whether it be from the Vermin assaulting your base or the impending KABOOM of Arcadia-7’s life-giving star, Ruptura, and players can jump in today at a special Early Access launch price of $15.99 (20% launch discount) before it goes to its regular price of $19.99.
In the run-up to Early Access, Creepy Jar hosted two dedicated playtests—one for solo survivors and one for co-op crews—using player feedback to fine-tune the experience. The result? A scorching 92.4% positive rating from playtesters. With Early Access officially underway, the team is eager to keep shaping StarRupture alongside the community as development pushes toward version 1.0.
Keeping that in mind, alongside today’s launch, the Creepy Jar team is also sharing the game’s very first roadmap so players can get an idea of what’s heading their way over the next few months and beyond, including:
In StarRupture, you are a prisoner serving your sentence on a faraway planet where danger lurks at every turn. Tasked with building a factory and gathering resources for global corporations that don’t care if you live or die, survival on Arcadia-7 is anything but guaranteed. Not only will you have to defend your base from menacing enemies, but you’ll also have to prepare for a somewhat more terrifying threat; the planet’s very own life-giving—and taking—star, Ruptura.
Netflix, Inc. today welcomed the Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Board of Directors’ continued commitment to the merger agreement between Netflix and WBD, and its unanimous recommendation that stockholders reject the revised offer from Paramount Skydance Corporation (PSKY), announced December 22, 2025.
After a comprehensive and rigorous review process with its independent financial and legal advisors, the WBD Board reaffirmed its conclusion that the transaction with Netflix is in the best interests of WBD stockholders.
“The WBD Board remains fully supportive of and continues to recommend Netflix’s merger agreement, recognizing it as the superior proposal that will deliver the greatest value to its stockholders, as well as consumers, creators and the broader entertainment industry,” said Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters, co-CEOs of Netflix. “Netflix and Warner Bros. will bring together highly complementary strengths and a shared passion for storytelling. By joining forces, we will offer audiences even more of the series and films they love—at home and in theaters—expand opportunities for creators, and help foster a dynamic, competitive, and thriving entertainment industry.”
Under the terms of the agreement announced December 5, 2025, Netflix will acquire Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO, in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at $27.75 per WBD share, with a total enterprise value of approximately $82.7 billion (equity value of $72.0 billion). The financing structure is not subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The transaction preserves the planned separation of WBD’s Global Linear Networks business, Discovery Global, which is expected to be completed in Q3 2026.
Netflix has submitted its Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) filing and is engaging with competition authorities, including the U.S. Department of Justice and European Commission. Netflix remains committed to working closely with WBD, regulators, and all stakeholders to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. As previously disclosed, the transaction is expected to close in 12-18 months from the date that Netflix and WBD originally entered into their merger agreement.
A dedicated website providing ongoing information and resources about the transaction is available at netflixwbtogether.com.
Indie developer Influsion Inc. have revealed their upcoming first-person survival horror game SENARA: The Sacrament. Set aboard a mysterious derelict cruise liner, you must survive and escape as it teeters on the edge of ruin. Players won’t have to wait long to experience its haunting atmosphere firsthand, with a playable demo planned for February.
SENARA: The Sacrament puts players in the role of a new recruit of a religious organization with a massive 6,000-ton ship: the Senara. Upon setting sail you wake up to find the crew missing, while unspeakably horrors roam its steel corridors. Hidden cult rituals, forbidden truths, and survivors with their own agendas await you in the darkness. In a place where blind faith and salvation intertwine, you’ll be forced to make choices that go far beyond survival.
Hearkening back to classic survival horror design, SENARA: The Sacrament offers a massive escape room where you must solve puzzles and use limited resources to your advantage if you’re to get out alive. In order to get out of the Senara alive, you’ll have to ration your resources, make use of stealth, and make difficult decisions regarding when to fight or flee. Explore the complex, intertwined corridors of this structure based on a real ship, uncover hidden passages, and gather clues to find the key to your escape.
This unholy tale is open to interpretation with snippets of truth scattered across documents, objects, and conversations between characters. Depending on what you believe and how you interpret the clues, the story can unfold in entirely different directions. With multiple endings based on your choices, your decisions affect not only your escape but also the fate of the Senara and what truth comes to light.
Using LiDAR, photogrammetry, and Unity HDRP pipelines, SENARA: The Sacrament offers a scan of a real-life documentary-level accuracy 6,000-ton ship. This precise reality reconstruction naturally adds an ultra immersive, uncanny playspace for players to get lost in.
“SENARA: The Sacrament is our love letter to classic survival horror titles that keep players shrouded in mystery and trapped in suspense,” said No-Jin Kwak, Director at Influsion Inc. “Using claustrophobic corridors, moody offshore atmosphere, limited resources, non-linear level design, and a fragmented story, we aim to create a terrifying experience that shakes players to their very core!”
