Maximum Entertainment today announced In Control: Rocketry, a spaceflight simulator developed by Electromechanical Softworks. The game gives players complete control over every aspect of an orbital journey, from bolting together the rocket to wiring the panel that steers it. Coming to PC via Steam, In Control: Rocketry is built on realistic physics and propulsion systems, and asks one simple question: could you actually fly this thing?
Watch the In Control: Rocketry reveal trailer below:
In Control: Rocketry has players design a spacecraft from thrusters, fuel tanks and capsules, then build the control panel that operates it, wiring together sensors, inputs and outputs before testing the whole assembly and adjusting until it holds its flight path. Once airborne, players fly the craft themselves: working the panel, managing resources, and steering toward a destination using real orbital mechanics.
In Control: Rocketry features:
Construct Your Rocket: Combine thrusters, fuel tanks and capsules into a spacecraft, where every part’s purpose and mass changes how it flies.
Wire Your Own Control Panels: Connect sensors, inputs and outputs to make the rocket fly.
Explore a Solar System: Orbit an Earth-like planet, travel to its moon, and journey to the far reaches of space landing, or crashing, onto strange new worlds, each with its own challenges and puzzles.
Progress unlocks genuine rocket and control panel parts that open up new destinations, while asteroids can be redirected and mined for resources. Missions run both unmanned and manned, the latter adding life support to everything else a pilot is already juggling. For players who would rather experiment than plan, Sandbox Mode is a place to test rocket ideas, practice flying, or build purely for the fun of it.
In Control: Rocketry will release on PC via Steam in 2027. For more information, visit maximument.com/games/incontrolrocketry or follow @MaximumEntmt on X.

Developer Frozen Way Studio, in partnership with publisher Snail Games USA, have today launched their survival sandbox game Honeycomb: The World Beyond on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series platforms for $29.99 / £26.75 / €30.49. Prepare for a journey of scientific exploration and survival on an awe-inspiring planet that can be both incredibly friendly – and slightly hostile.
Honeycomb: The World Beyond puts players in the astro boots of Hennessy, a pioneer forging an expedition on an uninhabited, mysterious planet that could be the key to saving mankind. Explore the world of Sota7 and uncover its secrets. From calm forests and vibrant jungles to vast fields spread at the foot of a mysterious volcano, every trek through its diverse terrain is sure to leave a lasting impression. Carve out a home for yourself and use that safe space to further your research. Play your part in saving the Earth’s ecosystem through experimenting with innovative bioengineering mechanics on Sota7.
Gathering information about an ecosystem is a crucial part of a bioengineer’s work. Analyze samples and procure resources carefully in order to find familiar patterns and understand this world. This will help you create new, fascinating life forms that will harmonize with its alien environment. Hennessy’s understanding of Sota7’s new ecosystem will be fundamental in solving the problems back on Earth. Use innovative in-game mechanics such as allogamy and grafting to create hybrids that could change the world. Unleash your inner scientist and become a master of the art of crossbreeding.
A true explorer needs a safe haven to rest and contemplate if they’re to succeed. Plan and build your perfect modular base as a means of shelter, as well as a lab to carry out your experiments, report progress, and rest. Inspired by natural shapes found in Art Nouveau, the modular design of your base isn’t just a visual feature, but also a strategic advantage that allows you to adapt to your changing needs as an explorer and a scientist. Nestled within your base lies a sanctuary of profound significance: the laboratory. Here you can grow as a scientist and bioengineer. Gather resources and create varied laboratory devices to experiment with samples collected during the exploration of the world. Cultivate plants to decorate your place as well as yield a satisfying harvest. Ensure your base is a habitat that matches its surroundings in form and function.
Frozen Way Studio has partnered with NVIDIA to integrate advanced features such as NVIDIA RTXDI, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 with Ray Reconstruction, Multi Frame Generation and Reflex to deliver a visually stunning and immersive experience.
“Honeycomb: The World Beyond is a vast game full of seemingly endless possibilities, so we’re thrilled to watch players uncover its mysteries,” said developers at Frozen Way. “There’s so much to discover and create, using Honeycomb’s unique crossbreeding mechanic, and we can’t wait to see what wild, innovative solutions players come up with as they explore Sota 7!”
PUBG MOBILE, one of the world’s most popular mobile games, is excited to reveal its Version 4.6 Update, packed with supernatural action, new gameplay experiences and fresh content across multiple modes. Available from September 8 until November 10, 2026, players can sink their teeth into the new Midnight Hunters themed mode, dive into the returning Ocean Odyssey themed mode on Erangel, and get into the Halloweeks spirit in World of Wonder. The action continues with collaborations including B.Duck, Lincoln, One-Punch Man and Alan Walker, plus updates across Classic Mode, Home Mode, Metro Royale and more.
Hunt or Be Hunted in Midnight Hunters
The Version 4.6 Update introduces Midnight Hunters, a new themed mode pitting hunters against vampires in a head-on clash of factions. Familiar districts have been transformed into eerie combat zones, steeped in the tension of the hunt. Players can venture into Vampire Hunter Guild locations across the map, taking on combat encounters and uncovering the secrets of the elusive AI character, the Nightkeeper. At the Hunter Shooting Range, players can put their skills to the test, with greater rewards available for higher scores.
A fearsome lineup of PvE enemies adds another layer of danger, from melee-attacking Bloodwalkers and the sonic-blasting Nightbat to the powerful Vampire Elder, which summons arcane orbs to strengthen nearby enemies. Elite enemies bring an even greater challenge with protective shields and special finisher animations, delivering flashy takedowns as players battle their way through the mode. The mysterious Nightkeeper may also appear at Guild locations, offering players the chance to uncover his story, obtain supplies and challenge him for rewards.
Players also have new ways to fight vampires, move around the map and support their squad. The Twilight Bat Wings transform players into an energy bat, unlocking hover, dash, latch and sonar abilities, while the Silvermoon Chain can be used to attack enemies, traverse the map or block incoming damage. The Blood Crystal Barrier can seal windows to block incoming attacks and fend off ambushes, while the Blood Pact, Hunter Bandage and Scarlet Tonic offer additional ways to heal and support teammates throughout the mode.
Throughout Midnight Hunters, players can uncover hidden compartments, challenges and missions across the map. The Golden Bat challenge tasks players with finding the Golden Bat disguised as a stone statue and defeating it before it escapes to earn a bounty and rewards. Scream Crates bring puzzle-based challenges, with failure triggering an alarm and exposing the player’s location. Players can also take on a series of Guild Missions, from defending the Nightkeeper’s seals against vampire ambushes to hunting evolving enemies and eliminating vampires.
For a limited time, Bloodline Awakening gives eliminated players the chance to return as vampires and turn against the hunters, flipping sides and fighting back with a new set of abilities. Once transformed, players gain a vampiric appearance and four powerful abilities: Claw Attack for melee combat, Absorb to restore health, Blood Sense to detect and mark nearby hunters, and Blood Amberfication, which briefly transforms players into a high-speed state immune to damage. Following the season update, Bloodline Awakening is available every Friday through Sunday in September.
Something Is Stirring on Erangel
Version 4.6 Update will also see the return of Ocean Odyssey, inviting players to dive back into the themed mode exclusively on Erangel from September 30. Players should also keep an eye out across Erangel for signs of a mysterious giant serpent breaking through the ground, with weakened sections of its stone shell hiding scales and supply rewards for those who manage to break through and catch a glimpse of what’s still to come.
Luxury Rides, One Punches and a Little Yellow Duck
The action continues with a line-up of collaborations throughout Version 4.6. Players can hit the road in style with Lincoln from September 10, before One-Punch Man packs a punch from September 20 with collaboration events and themed Home content. B.Duck joins the fun from October 2, bringing its playful style to themed items and Home furniture.
Players can also turn up the volume with PUBG MOBILE fan-favourite Alan Walker, with his track, and the versions theme song, “FATE”. With a dark, epic sound that matches the atmosphere of the Version 4.6 update, “FATE” is available in-game for free until November 10.,
Turn Up the Action in Classic Mode and Arena Mode
Classic Mode gets a fresh wave of gameplay additions and combat improvements in Version 4.6. Across Erangel, new in-match specific missions challenge players to recover leftover combat supplies or hack Supply Shops for Shop Tokens, while the Supply Shop has been upgraded with a refreshed layout, easier filtering and an expanded item selection. Firearm updates also bring greater firing stability to the ACE32 and a range of 7.62mm rifles, including the AKM, M762, Honey Badger, Mk47 and Groza.
There’s even more to discover, with new Channel Buoys offering temporary safety in the waters around Military Base, floating supply crates to loot and interactive lockers hidden inside buildings. Players can also deploy the new Inflatable Boat, a portable four-seater vehicle that moves faster the more passengers row, while Custom Garage updates include the chance for a Tracked Amphicarrier to spawn, which can be activated in exchange for Shop Tokens. When parachuting, players can now drag the joystick upwards to lock into an auto-glide state.
Arena Mode joins the action with a new Ranked Arena season running from October 1 to October 29, putting players to the test across Team Deathmatch – Warehouse (Ranked), Team Deathmatch – Hangar (Ranked), Assault – The Ruins (Ranked) and Domination – Town (Ranked). Players can access tiered rewards throughout the season, including a limited Title for the top 1,000 players in each region when the season wraps up on October 29.
Halloweeks Haunts World of Wonder
World of Wonder (WOW) gets a spooky makeover in Version 4.6, as Brainrot gameplay Halloweeks introduces new collectible Brainrot characters, Halloweeks-inspired scenery and a new event currency. Players can also discover themed items, including the returning Magic Broom and the new Brainrot Wand, which transforms players into a Halloweeks-themed Brainrot character.
A limited-time Ghost Ship event adds to the mayhem, allowing players to fly aboard and visit the Halloweeks Shop, which refreshes on a schedule and offers new progression goals. The Ghost Ship also fires ghost cannonballs that evolve Brainrot mutants on the conveyor belt, giving players new Brainrot variants to collect.
Creators also have more ways to build and experiment in WOW, with a limited-time Creation Shop incentive increasing WOW Token revenue share from 55% to up to 83% through tiered rates. New gameplay tools, including a Jetpack Device, join further improvements across the mobile and PC editors, giving creators greater flexibility to bring their ideas to life.
There’s No Place Like Home Mode
Alongside the new Cyber Nexus Home Style, Home Mode welcomes back the Home Competition, inviting players to unleash their creativity, compete for votes and earn rewards. A themed Style Voting event also gives eligible players the chance to enter a cash prize draw by completing voting missions.
From September 13, Feast of Shadows brings a spooky twist to Home Mode, challenging players to hunt down specters as seekers to earn search points or switch sides to join the specters, hiding and scaring hunters to earn fright points. Players can build up their points throughout the event and exchange them for rewards.
The Action Doesn’t Stop There
Season 32 arrives on September 12 with refreshed tier rewards, new Path of Glory rewards and an upgraded Promotion Match experience, alongside the return of Ultimate Royale and a new Casual Match season spanning Unranked Classic, Arena, WOW, Home and Arcade. Crazy Chicken Day also gives players more reasons to squad up, with Ranked team-up perks, double earnings and weekly prize draws.
Metro Royale Chapter 34 arrives with new season collectibles and a vampiric twist, as mutated vampire bases appear across Arctic Base guarding high-value Scream Crates. Golden Bat Statues will also appear at specific locations, challenging players to defeat the Golden Bat within the time limit for a chance to obtain high-value items. A new Royale Pass, RP A21, also brings a custom colour outfit and upgradable weapon, alongside new sets and rewards to unlock throughout Version 4.6.
A host of system updates round out Version 4.6, including new Card Collection features and progress towards an upgradable JS9 firearm finish, multilingual Personalized Voices and the return of the Popularity Battle Event.

Southern California’s favorite Halloween tradition is getting a fresh glow-up for 2026. Night Of The Jack, LA’s leading immersive Halloween experience, returns to the iconic King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas this fall for its 9th season with a first-time carnival featuring rides, inflatable attractions and games plus an all-new trail layout and more dazzling displays, immersive environments and photo-worthy moments than ever before.
Welcoming more than 100,000 visitors each year, Night Of The Jack has become a must-do destination for spooky season, bringing together thousands of hand-carved pumpkins, larger-than-life installations, innovative technology and Halloween magic in a spectacular outdoor setting. For 2026, the experience has been reimagined from beginning to end, giving both longtime fans and first-time visitors something new to discover around every corner.
Guests will journey through a newly designed trail filled with imaginative hand-carved pumpkin displays, one-of-a-kind glowing lantern installations, cutting-edge projection mapping, incredible LED displays and immersive moments designed for families, friends and Halloween lovers of all ages. From mythology and dinosaurs to alien abductions, Kraken attacks and electrifying DJ scenes, Night of the Jack blends artistry, technology and just the right amount of Halloween mischief—without the scares.
What’s New for 2026:
First-time Carnival: A variety of rides, inflatable attractions, nostalgic carnival games and specialty food and beverages.
An All-New Trail Layout: A newly designed journey through King Gillette Ranch brings fresh surprises and immersive moments throughout the experience.
New Hand-Carved Pumpkin Worlds: Thousands of intricately carved pumpkins come together to create imaginative new scenes inspired by mythology, carnivals, dinosaurs, skeleton bands and more.
One-of-a-Kind Glowing Lantern Scenes: Larger-than-life lantern installations bring fantastical scenes to life, from alien abductions and Kraken attacks to electrifying DJ moments.
New Projection Mapping: Historic architecture on the iconic King Gillette Ranch property becomes a canvas for spectacular new projection-mapped scenes.
Amazing New LED Displays: Brilliant LED installations illuminate the trail and transform the ranch after dark.
More Immersive Photo Moments: New photo opportunities throughout the trail invite guests to step into the experience and create lasting memories with friends, family—and Jack himself.
For the 21+ crowd, The Spookeasy returns as a festive escape along the trail, serving themed cocktails, craft beer and premium wine alongside seasonal favorites including hot cider and cocoa. Guests can also make a night of it with a rotating lineup of some of Los Angeles’ favorite food trucks and culinary offerings.
“Night Of The Jack has become an annual tradition for so many families, and this year we wanted to give guests a completely new way to experience the magic,” said Ben Biscotti, co-founder of Night Of The Jack. “From a redesigned trail and incredible new hand-carved pumpkin scenes to larger-than-life lanterns, projection mapping and LED displays, we’ve reimagined the experience for 2026 while keeping everything people love about Night Of The Jack. We can’t wait for guests to see what’s waiting for them around every corner.”
Guests can also celebrate a little bit of Calabasas history from the very location that inspired the event. According to local legend dating back to 1824, a rancher from Oxnard spilled a wagonload of pumpkins while traveling to Los Angeles. Hundreds of pumpkins later sprouted alongside the road, helping give rise to the name Calabasas – “the place where the pumpkins fell.”

Please attempt to breathe normally. Panic may only accelerate the process. Today, Red Barrels releases Season 7.1 for The Outlast Trials, available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, bringing the new Chemical Leak Limited-Time Event to all current owners.
Poison is an intoxicating embrace, and Murkoff would like all Reagents to remember that therapy remains the only approved answer. From Tuesday, September 8 at 10:00 ET through Tuesday, October 6 at 10:00 ET, Chemical Leak will fill Trial environments with toxic gas, tasking Reagents with finding and shutting off valves before the air turns against them.
Starting today, Reagents can also take on two new MK-Challenges, unlock rewards through the new Chemical Leak Limited-Time Catalog, and experience a new round of improvements, balancing updates, and quality-of-life additions across Invasion, Escalation, and the wider therapy experience.
NEW LIMITED-TIME EVENT: CHEMICAL LEAK
A chemical leak is filling the Trials with toxic gas. Reagents must locate valves throughout the environment and shut them off to clear the air from each area.
NEW LIMITED-TIME CATALOG
A brand-new Catalog is available for the duration of the Chemical Leak Limited-Time Event. Please spend your Event Tokens before the air clears. Murkoff is not responsible for lost opportunities, respiratory distress, or poor planning.
NEW MK-CHALLENGE: CHANGE THE PROGRAM
You are the crier who knows that news does not have to be journalism; it only has to be new.
Spread our truth, change the program, and we will let you out.
NEW MK-CHALLENGE: FUND THE CAMPAIGN
You are the hammer in the hands of a child, to shatter the fragile swine who would separate success from the government it created.
Money is the future of speech.
Fund the campaign, and we will let you out.
DECONTAMINATED. REBALANCED. REWORKED.
Season 7.1 also brings a fresh round of bug fixes, balancing updates, and improvements across The Outlast Trials, with particular attention to Invasion, Escalation, online stability, and player settings.
INVASION & ESCALATION UPDATES
Both modes have undergone meaningful transformations over the last updates — with Season 7.1 further improving the experience for players.
Invasion receives several updates designed to improve fairness, readability, and flow during high-pressure encounters. Reagents remain focused on the hunting and the escaping; Murkoff takes care of the rest. For Escalation, community feedback helped improve stability, and players’ progress is saved in the event of a lost connection.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE UPDATES
Season 7.1 also introduces broader improvements across the game. Visit the patch notes to read the full list of upgrades.
NEW SETTINGS OPTIONS
While Red Barrels recognizes that mods can offer useful customization, some can provide gameplay advantages or alter the game in unintended ways. To maintain a fair and consistent experience across all game modes, mods are no longer supported.
Several new options have been added directly to the Settings menu, including features previously available through mods such as the FOV Slider, Toggle HUD Display, and others. These are now built into the base game and available to everyone.
DO NOT INHALE THE THERAPY
Season 7.1 is available starting now on all platforms, free for current owners of The Outlast Trials.
For updates, be sure to follow Red Barrels across all platforms, such as the official website, Instagram, Bluesky, X (Twitter), Discord, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook.
