1 month ago

Tassei Denki, a leading international provider of gaming hardware, consumer technology and accessories, announced today the shipping of their highly-anticipated G‘AIM’E TIME CRISIS Lightgun System, and it can still be yours, delivered in time for the Holidays!

Sending gamers into a frenzy of excitement following an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign, (which saw the system raising more than 20 times the funding goal) anticipation has reached fever pitch following a global tour and several in-person events where gamers experienced the plug-and-play action for themselves, quickly remembering the excitement and edge-of-the-seat thrills evoked from the golden age of arcade gaming.

G‘AIM’E is delighted to announce that all pre-orders placed on mygaime.com are now shipping and their groundbreaking G‘AIM’E TIME CRISIS Lightgun System, is now in limited stock in the UK, and available to purchase via their webstore today while stocks last. Order before the 19th December, for the best chance of receiving systems before the end of the year!* (subject to availability of shipping services, all orders placed on the 19th or after will be shipped in the new year!)

No adapters, no sensor bars, no compromise: finally, AI technology being used in a way gamers’ approve of, using state-of-the-art AI enhanced camera technology allowing the system to be enjoyed on virtually any modern display.

Developed in close partnership with Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., and timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of TIME CRISIS, the G‘AIM’E TIME CRISIS Lightgun System consists of a small Mini-Console and, depending on the package gamers choose to purchase, a choice of either single or multiple Lightguns, an authentic TIME CRISIS Arcade Pedal and of course, the legendary shooter classic TIME CRISIS, which defined an entire genre of gaming. In addition, the Premium and Ultimate packages include bonus games POINT BLANK, and appearing for the first time at home, STEEL GUNNER 1 and STEEL GUNNER 2, providing considerably more entertainment than endless TV repeats over the Holiday period!

Technology has come a long way in 30 years, and as TVs transitioned from CRT to flat screen displays, Lightguns proved to be a casualty of change as modern TV’s proved incompatible with the old Lightgun systems. Finally, Tassei Denki has created its own, custom hardware solution that utilizes a high-resolution camera in place of the traditional infrared technology used in Lightguns of the past.

Delivering on its development roadmap, Channel37’s first update for The Last Caretaker includes three new questlines for intrepid Caretakers: “Secret of Habitat Nodes”, “One Before Me”, and “Secret of Warehouse,” unlocking new locations and stories from the flooded world.

The update delivers a boatload of new additions, including a basketball mini-game, a drivable forklift, night vision goggles, and a horn with a customisable chromatic scale and speaker system for the musically-minded Caretaker. In addition, performance improvements across physics systems, rendering, and UI have been implemented after direct feedback from the growing community.

Update 01: Last Humans is the first of many updates planned for The Last Caretaker.

The Last Caretaker is a thoughtful take on the survival-crafting genre featuring a modular crafting system and resource-based combat with unrivalled depth. Key features include:

Dynamic Resource Management: Your resources are your means of survival. Make choices between crafting weapons for offense or saving your materials for an easy exit from fearsome mechanical foes.

Immersive Worldbuilding: A real, living world. This isn’t decoration, it’s a place that exists. A vast ocean scattered with silent docks, rusting towers, navigation beacons, and forgotten vaults. Every structure has a purpose, every ruin tells a story of what was left behind.

Modular Crafting System: The world is your salvage yard. Dismantle abandoned structures, tear down machinery, and decide what is worth carrying to the recycler to craft weapons, power grids, and tools in a dynamic and deep crafting system.

Save Humanity: The Last Caretaker builds upon four years of hand-crafted systems to deliver a world where every action has purpose. Every success means humanity has one more chance.

Terminator: Survivors Delayed

NACON and its development studio, NACON Studio Milan, today provided an update on the progress of the Terminator: Survivors project. Through a letter addressed to fans, the studio director, Marco Ponte, presents the development team’s ambitions. To bring this vision to life and deliver a game worthy of the cult Terminator universe, the release, initially scheduled for 2025, will be postponed to a later date.

Find Marco Ponte’s full announcement here.

Through this letter, the Milan-based studio wished to inform fans about the project’s progress. The studio has worked on improving its concept and proposal to satisfy fans of the license, in terms of design, combat, story, and atmosphere. Strengthened by this reflection, a new course has been set, as Marco Ponte explains:

« To give you an authentic “Terminator” experience and the best possible shooter and exploration gameplay, we have to put aside the cooperative multiplayer. We know this may come as a disappointment, but we believe it is the right creative direction for an uncompromising vision of the world after Judgment Day ».

NACON Studio Milan has also made the decision to offer players a premium experience, without early access. Following these changes, the release date of Terminator: Survivors is postponed, and more information will be communicated at a later time.

While waiting for the game’s release and to allow players to share their feedback with the studio, closed playtests will be organized during 2026. Go here to register.

Looney Tunes Land to Debut at Six Flags Magic Mountain by Summer 2026

Six Flags Magic Mountain is excited to announce major changes to its kids area, which will be reimagined as Looney Tunes™ Land, a brand-new park with travel at the heart of it and with loveable Looney Tunes characters to be found throughout, debuting summer 2026. This family-friendly area will be refreshed to evoke the warm, nostalgic feelings of the Chuck Jones era of Looney Tunes, featuring four distinct areas inspired by beloved classic characters. At the heart of the new Looney Tunes Land lies a cozy central park, where Bugs Bunny welcomes guests into his home. In the other three areas, visitors will traverse the New Mexico desert in pursuit of the Road Runner with Wile E. Coyote, explore lush tropics alongside Taz and take in the High Sierra with Daffy Duck at the helm.

TAZ-MANIA
Welcome to TAZ-mania! Guests will immerse themselves in a vibrant tropical landscape, but be on the lookout for the chaotic Taz, who has clearly left his mark. This area will feature an updated Whistlestop Train rethemed as Taz’s Tasmanian Train Tours, where guests can hop aboard the Tasmanian Express for a colorful and lively tour through the island’s wilderness. Be warned, though; the mischievous Tasmanian Devil himself has escaped his enclosure and is set to wreak havoc along the way. Meanwhile, the all-new Taz’s Exploration Trail (which replaces Magic Flyer and Tweety’s Escape locations) is where guests will explore the Tasmania Trail and go on a treasure hunt. This area will also add new seating and turf to the region.

ROAD RUNNER RIDGE
In the New Mexico-inspired area, Wile E. Coyote will embark across the breathtaking badlands on his relentless quest to capture the elusive Road Runner. Of course, everyone will need to keep an eye out for ACME traps cleverly hidden among the captivating rock formations and desert terrain. Guests will be further transported into this coyote’s world with the iconic painted tunnel. Just like in the cartoons, there will be laughs and unexpected twists for all while navigating through this thrilling zone.

BUGS BUNNY PLAY PARK
Bugs Bunny Play Park will be dedicated to the charismatic character that unites everyone and will be focused on frolicking fun. The area will replace Speedy Gonzalez Hot Rods and Pepe Le Pew’s Tea Party) and will feature thematic free play and exploration zones. A fan favorite, Merrie Melodies Merrie-Go-Round will be refurbished to match the rest of the park and will sport a vibrant color scheme and new marquee sign celebrating the adventurous spirit of the new area. Wascal’s, the area’s restaurant, will undergo a refresh, including a retheming of the scenic buildings and the addition of picnic tables to give guests a feel of dining at a civic park. Lastly, Wascal’s backside facade will include a new Granny’s House with an explorable interior with 2D elements.

CAMP DUCK AMUCK
It is never duck season in Daffy Duck’s territory! In the new and scenic High Sierra-inspired zone, Daffy calls the shots and here Taz’s Trucking Company will become Daffy’s Forest Four-Wheelers, where forest ranger Daffy Duck will invite young junior rangers to hop aboard their own jeeps and join him on patrol. Along the trail, fun and humorous character scenes, alongside informative signage, will emphasize the importance of conservation and safety while enjoying nature. Furthermore, the Looney Tunes Lodge will be renewed to resemble a cabin found in the High Sierra mountains and will receive all-new, wood-look foam flooring with an exaggerated wood grain.

“The new Looney Tunes Land will be a continuation of our mutually successful partnership with Warner Bros. that began more than 40 years ago and will continue to celebrate the characters of their beloved franchise,” said Raffi Kaprelyan, SVP and West Coast regional general manager for Six Flags. “We are counting down the days until we can invite families to experience the whimsy and fun of Looney Tunes in a way that is more immersive and exciting than ever before!”

Both Looney Tunes and each area’s theme will inform the narrative storytelling throughout. Each area will have its own color palette, fauna, landscaping, graphics, hardscaping (complete with character footprints in the concrete), railings, signage and more distinct experiences in each area.

The transformation of the family area into Looney Tunes Land is set to begin early January 2026 following the Holiday in the Park seasonal event. The process will be done in three phases with access to areas not undergoing construction open for amusement. Additional attraction enhancements and name changes will be shared ahead of opening. The introduction of Looney Tunes Land will coincide with the park’s 55th anniversary and is the second project in a multi-year focus on the park, which kicked off with the complete refurbishment and improvement of Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles in 2025.

GIVE THE GIFT OF UNLIMITED FUN
The best way to experience all the exciting changes coming to Looney Tunes Land is with a 2026 Gold Membership, which starts as low as $7.75/month (after $20 initiation fee). Buy now to receive unlimited visits for the remainder of the year, including the beloved Holiday in the Park seasonal event, as well as unlimited visits to Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles for all of 2026, free general parking, merchandise and food discounts and more.

DarkSwitch is a vertical survival city builder set atop a colossal tree, high above the lethal fog that has consumed civilization and threatens the city’s very own existence. While players continue to develop their settlement, story-driven quests, time-sensitive expeditions, and dynamic fog surges can shift entire strategies in a moment.

The main antagonist is an enigmatic fog, which impacts citizens’ health and morale, and is modeled using custom voxel grid technology, creating dynamic and unpredictable fog shifts. A once-thriving society faced a life-threatening enemy when this mysterious mist swept across the lands, warping their minds and consuming everything. In a desperate attempt for survival, those who still stood fled upwards towards the treetops, and rebuilt their homes above the deadly haze. The game’s heavy atmosphere is paired with ambisonic audio cues that intensify the sense of dread, all woven together by the haunting compositions of legendary musician Akira Yamaoka.

Features:

Build a variety of buildings—industrial, social, and defensive. Research new technologies and develop specialized machinery to advance your treetop city. Build high, build safe!
Manage scarce resources, balance the distribution of raw materials between construction, defense, and the needs of your residents. Distribute wisely!

Wreckfest 2 Content Update 5 is Out Now

Jerry Paxton

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

Buckle up – the next content update for Wreckfest 2 is rolling in, and it’s all about fresh rides, dirty racing, and new ways to smash your way to the top. THQ Nordic and Bugbear are bringing more chaos to the track with new content, new modes, and a solid round of improvements that make every impact count.

The update introduces two brand-new cars straight out of the 90s. Players can jump into a front-wheel-drive Asian coupe “Phaser”, built for tight racing and aggressive driving, or take the wheel of a front-wheel-drive US family van “Grandstar” that was never meant to race, but fits Wreckfest’s brand of destruction perfectly.

On the racing side, the new track, Moorfeld, joins the calendar, set on an open field with a muddy surface that completely changes how cars behave. Grip is limited, slides are wider, and races feel more unpredictable from start to finish. As the laps tick by, cars don’t just take damage – they also get visibly covered in mud, adding another layer of visual mayhem and immersion to every event.

Moorfeld offers two ways to play: the Race Route and the Crash Route. While the Race Route feels closer to the circuit-style tracks players are used to, the Crash Route is where things truly go off the rails. Featuring three intersections, it actively pulls cars together again and again. And as every Wreckfest fan knows, intersections multiply chaos exponentially – and three of them result in an absolutely ridiculous amount of carnage.

Frostpunk 2: Fractured Utopias Launch Trailer

Jerry Paxton

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

Factional turmoil and the hunger to bend the City to one’s doctrine take center stage in Fractured Utopias, the first DLC for Frostpunk 2 – out now for both PC and consoles. Expanding the sandbox-focused Utopia Builder mode, Fractured Utopias deepens its political struggle for the future with over 100 new narrative events and tons of unique unlocks. As the elders say: “In the Frostland, no utopia warms every soul.” Dreams and schemes don’t rise from nowhere – they’re forged in conflict.

The Fractured Utopias DLC brings more structure and expanded scope to the Utopia Builder experience. Each faction now has a defined ideological Utopia – represented by a skill-tree powered by affinities. As players gain trust, they unlock specialized laws, buildings, and abilities that reinforce each faction’s identity. Unlock every tier, and a singular vision may be enacted – binding the entire city to one future, and promising to resolve all Tension… permanently.

Each faction in Frostpunk 2 envisions a future, but every vision meets resistance. The old-world Overseers uphold order through industry, clashing with the provocative art and drug-fueled rebellion of the Bohemians. The Icebloods demand survival through strength, while the Technocrats advocate for cold, algorithmic efficiency. The adaptive Proteans reshape body and purpose, as the Legionnaires march in disciplined unison. The extravagant Ventures profit off chaos, while the collectivist Manders bear their burdens – together.

But whose dream will shape tomorrow – and whose will fracture under the frost?

Fractured Utopias key new features:

8 unique faction Utopias, each with new systems, tools, and endgame
12 unique unlocks (laws / new HUBs / Abilities, etc.) per faction
8 new faction hubs (1 per faction)
8 new faction-specific variants of the housing district
Over 100 new narrative events
2 premium Tales: “Doomsayers” and “Plague”
1 new map
