MicroProse and Kyoto Video Game Concern are thrilled to announce that Battlefall: State of Conflict has officially launched into Early Access on Steam.
Battlefall: State of Conflict brings back the glorious chaos of classic RTS warfare—massive armies, sprawling bases, and fast-paced tactical action. Developed as a passionate tribute to the golden era of the genre, Battlefall blends nostalgic charm with modern gameplay depth and the kind of quality-of-life features today’s players expect. Build, expand, and command your forces across hand-drawn battlefields where every decision matters and no victory comes easy.
Old-School Inspiration, Modern Execution
Battlefall has already earned praise from early players and content creators for its smooth gameplay, attention to detail, and unapologetic love for the Command & Conquer legacy. As Zade put it:
“It’s a really fun system and I’d love to see more things like this in basically EVERY future RTS game”
He’s not wrong. Battlefall embraces that hardcore RTS energy, delivering intense, explosive battles that reward both strategic cunning and creative chaos. Or, in the words of GamerZakh:
“I really do think this one is worth a look”
What’s in the Early Access Build?
At launch, Battlefall: State of Conflict offers a full-featured multiplayer mode, a co-op campaign, and a wealth of classic RTS action. Players can choose between two factions—EFNET and the Scrappers—each with their own unique units, tactics, and playstyle.
The hit anime series, Tokyo Ghoul is bringing its unique brand of dark fantasy to Dead by Daylight. Ripe with a slick, sinister aesthetic guaranteed to feel right at home in The Entity’s Realm, this twisted new take on Ken Kaneki promises to deliver one of the game’s most kinetic Killers to date. Available on March 11 as part of the Steam public test build and officially releasing on April 2, Dead by Daylight: Tokyo Ghoul is unleashed and ready to feed.
Meet The Ghoul
Boasting a dark, complex narrative punctuated by moments of brutal violence, Tokyo Ghoul and its hero Ken Kaneki come to Dead by Daylight overflowing with themes familiar to the game, as well as compelling new ones to explore. What better way to do so than by taking a conflicted character and magnifying his most primal impulses?
Considering Ken Kaneki is Tokyo Ghoul’s protagonist, fans of the franchise may be surprised to learn that he’s entered The Fog as Dead by Daylight’s newest Killer, The Ghoul. In the original story of Tokyo Ghoul, following a near-fatal accident, the unassuming Kaneki receives a life-saving organ transplant – from a Ghoul. He awakens a half-human, half-Ghoul hybrid forced to feed on human flesh to survive while desperately fighting to retain what remains of his humanity.
After narrowly surviving unimaginable torture at the hands of the Ghoul, Jason, Kaneki’s mind had already been pushed to the breaking point. He emerged from his ordeal alive, only to be swallowed by black Fog, taken by The Entity and set loose within its Trials. Here his Ghoulish nature took over, fueled by a cold cruelty and a hunger for flesh.
Not only does this shift make Kaneki an intriguing Killer, but it also allowed the Dead by Daylight team to lean into the truly terrifying nature of his powers.
Killer Kagune
In Dead by Daylight, The Ghoul’s Kagune tentacles quickly become the ultimate instruments of fear. Erupting from his back, Kaneki’s Killer Power propels him around the Map chaining movements together to descend upon fleeing Survivors. Successful attacks spark Enraged Mode, amplifying Kaneki’s strength, brutality, and movements.
Combined with a Perk set designed to apply pressure, The Ghoul forces his prey to keep their heads on a swivel, lest they become his next meal. Finally, those unlucky enough to fall victim to his Mori will bear the brunt of his vicious nature in gloriously graphic ways you’ll need to see to believe.
Tokyo Style
Adding to the fun, the Tokyo Ghoul Collection, available April 2 will introduce several other iconic looks and characters from the Tokyo Ghoul animated series.
The Legendary Rize Kamishiro Outfit for The Ghoul invites players to step into the shoes of this beautiful and powerful Ghoul – the very same one whose organs were transplanted into Kaneki following his accident. Players can also enjoy 4 Very Rare Outfits as part of the Collection including, the Rabbit Costume Outfit for Yui Kimura, the Hide Costume Outfit for Renato Lyra, the Eto Costume Outfit for Nea Karlsson, and the Awakened Ghoul Outfit for The Ghoul.
Since no Tokyo Ghoul Collection would be complete without some memorable masks, players will also be able to tap into their inner Ghoul with a selection of 4 Very Rare Masks for The Unknown, Jonah Vasquez, Jake Park, and David King.
Dead by Daylight: Tokyo Ghoul is currently available as part of the Steam public test build. It releases officially on April 2.
SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, today unveiled the latest evolution of its critically acclaimed QcK mousepad line, the QcK Performance Series. The new series is the first set of mousepads to specifically cater to diverse gamer playstyles with three distinct mousepad surfaces: Speed, Control, and Balance, available in Large and Extra-Large sizes.
From actuation points in keyboards to mouse side buttons to personalized audio profiles in headsets, players want and need precision, personalization, and customization in their gaming gear. But the lonely mousepad has all but been forgotten or neglected when it comes to pure performance and playstyle for over 20 years. Essentially, there has been a barrier that SteelSeries is set to remove… Enter the QcK Performance Series mousepads.
For over 20 years, SteelSeries has been the worldwide leader in mousepads for esports pros and gamers – from the ICEMAT in 2001 to the OG QcK in 2004. Since its introduction in 2004, the award-winning QcK line of mousepads has been celebrated globally, becoming a staple for gamers and professional esports players. In fact, Pros have won more prize money with SteelSeries than with any other brand.
Building on the legacy of one of the world’s most popular mousepads, the QcK Performance Series joins the family of renowned mousepads including the QcK, QcK Heavy, and QcK Prism. The innovative new Performance Series has been professionally engineered with different playstyles in mind, tailored not only for longevity but to enhance player performance in-game. From the ultra-smooth glide of the ‘Speed’ pad for lightning-fast moves to the expertly tuned friction of the ‘Control’ pad for pinpoint accuracy, and the perfect blend of speed and stopping power in the ‘Balance’ pad, the QcK Performance Series offers a mousepad for every gamer.
The QcK Performance Series is the culmination of years of research and collaboration with professional gamers, engineers, and designers. They feature a 3.5mm base with neoprene foam providing unbeatable stability with a non-slip grip and the perfect balance of comfort and stability, while the low-profile stitched edges ensure durability for those long gaming sessions for years to come.
In competitive gaming, victory hinges on speed and precision, and a mousepad plays a crucial role in achieving this. While gamers often customize their mouse and headset audio profiles to suit their playstyle, the importance of the right surface is at times overlooked. The QcK Performance Series addresses this by offering a selection of surfaces tailored to complement the unique gaming style of players.
The QcK Performance | Speed
• Crafted for gamers who thrive on fast-paced action with an unparalleled, frictionless glide, letting gamers focus purely on fast response reactions.
• The ultra-smooth surface ensures rapid, effortless movement, delivering the split-second responsiveness essential in high-speed gameplay.

The QcK Performance | Balance

• The soft, finely woven texture offers a familiar feel, ideal for those seeking the best of both worlds.
• High stitch count and a tight weave provide a familiar QcK feel that fans are accustomed to, blending swift glide and stopping power.
The QcK Performance | Control
• Tailored for gamers who prioritize precision, offering pinpoint accuracy and exceptional stopping power.
• The micro-textured surface is expertly engineered with just the right amount of drag, allowing to lock onto a target with razor-sharp aim and unwavering control.
• High-density stitch pattern adds just the right amount of drag for granular movements, ideal for deliberate movement patterns above all else.
• This mousepad has been crafted for a unique tribe of hardcore gamers who prioritize control over comfort.

Today, Disney+ revealed the trailer and key art for the upcoming documentary “Pets,” premiering April 11 on National Pet Day. From Disney Branded Television, Imagine Documentaries, and directed by Bryce Dallas Howard (“The Mandalorian”), “Pets” explores the extraordinary relationship that exists between animals and their people, all around the world. The documentary invites viewers on an uplifting journey that showcases the universal love transcending species, filled with moments of laughter, tenderness, and genuine emotion.
Following her documentary “Dads” in 2019, Howard explores another topic that is very close to her heart. Marking this as her second documentary feature, she perfectly curates her own love and interest in animals to relate to any viewer, no matter what their own relationship with the pets in their life is like.
“Directing a documentary about the relationship between pets and their people has been a dream for years. There’s something about these wordless intuitive bonds, full of mischief and love, that feel like magic. And pet videos? They tap into such pure innocence and happiness, the kind of laughter that catches you off guard and reminds you why we love them so much,” said Bryce Dallas Howard. “Working with the incredible teams at Imagine Documentaries and Disney Branded Television was an absolute gift, and my hope is that audiences feel the same joy watching this film that we did while making it.”
Humorous and heartfelt, the film profiles a diverse cast of characters from every-day pet guardians to dedicated animal rescuers and beyond, highlighting the uniquely vital connections they share with their dogs, cats, pigs, goats and even birds of prey. With a mix of inspirational stories, archival footage, viral videos, and engaging interviews, “Pets” takes us on a hilarious and poignant journey that celebrates love, loss, and licks along the way.
The original film from Disney Branded Television is produced by Imagine Documentaries who recently produced the EMMY® Award-winning documentary “Jim Henson Idea Man” and the inspirational Disney+ docuseries “Harlem Ice.” The film is produced by Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, Meredith Kaulfers, Bryce Dallas Howard and Elisabeth Jamison. Executive Producers are Brian Grazer and Ron Howard.
Additionally, now through March 30, new and eligible returning customers can subscribe to the Disney+, Hulu Bundle Basic for $2.99/month for four months – a $32 savings compared to the regular monthly price for four months – by visiting www.disneyplus.com.
The DJI Osmo Mobile 7, particularly when paired with its dedicated DJI Osmo Mobile 7 Tracking Kit, represents a significant leap forward in the realm of smartphone stabilization and content creation. For years, DJI has dominated the gimbal market, and with this latest iteration, they’ve addressed previous limitations while further refining their core strengths. The Osmo Mobile 7, on its own, presents a compelling package for casual users and aspiring content creators, but the addition of the Tracking Kit elevates it to a professional-grade tool capable of handling demanding shooting scenarios.
One of the most notable advancements is the enhanced tracking functionality. Historically, DJI required users to operate within their proprietary Mimo app to leverage subject tracking. While the app itself is robust and feature-rich, this restriction limited flexibility, especially for those who preferred to utilize their native camera apps or stream directly to social platforms. The Osmo Mobile 7, with its Multifunctional Tracking Module, effectively dismantles this barrier. This module allows for seamless tracking across any app, providing a level of freedom previously absent in DJI’s mobile gimbals. This is a game-changer for live streamers, vloggers, and anyone who values spontaneity in their content creation.
The Multifunctional Tracking Module is more than just a tracking tool; it’s a multifaceted accessory that expands the gimbal’s capabilities significantly. It integrates a wireless mic receiver, enabling users to connect the DJI Mic Mini for superior audio capture. This is crucial for professional-sounding videos, as clear audio is just as important as stable visuals. Furthermore, the module incorporates a fill light with adjustable brightness and color temperature, ensuring subjects are well-lit even in challenging lighting conditions. This eliminates the need for bulky external lighting setups, streamlining the shooting process. The inclusion of gesture control further enhances the user experience, allowing for hands-free operation of tracking, shooting, and framing. This is particularly useful for solo creators who need to manage their shots without assistance.
The Osmo Mobile 7 itself boasts a refined design that prioritizes portability and ease of use. Its lightweight construction, coupled with its foldable design, makes it incredibly travel-friendly. The built-in tripod, now seamlessly integrated into the handle, provides a stable base for hands-free shooting, eliminating the need for separate tripod accessories. The magnetic phone clamp ensures quick and secure phone mounting, allowing users to switch between shooting and other tasks with minimal disruption. The removal of the built-in extension rod in the standard Osmo Mobile 7, a feature reserved for the 7P model, is a trade-off that prioritizes compactness. However, the 7P, and the separate purchase of the extension rod, remains an option for those who need it.
DJI’s Mimo app continues to be a powerful tool for content creation. The ActiveTrack 7.0 system, accessible through the app, offers advanced subject tracking with improved accuracy and smoothness. The app also provides a range of shooting modes, including hyperlapse, time-lapse, and panorama, allowing users to experiment with different creative techniques. While the app offers in-app editing capabilities, professional users may still prefer to use dedicated editing software for more control over their workflow. However, the app’s intuitive interface and one-tap editing features make it accessible to beginners and casual users.
The Osmo Mobile 7’s stabilization performance is exemplary, delivering smooth and steady footage even in dynamic shooting scenarios. The 7th-generation 3-axis stabilization effectively eliminates unwanted shakes and jitters, resulting in professional-looking videos. The gimbal also offers various shooting modes, including pan follow, tilt follow, and FPV, allowing users to customize their shooting experience. The addition of a wheel control on the side of the gimbal provides precise control over manual focus or zoom, further enhancing creative flexibility.
DJI OM 7 What’s in the box?
Battery life is another area where the Osmo Mobile 7 excels. With up to 10 hours of runtime, users can shoot for extended periods without worrying about running out of power. The gimbal also functions as a portable charger, allowing users to top up their phone’s battery on the go. This is a valuable feature for long shooting days or travel. The ability to add a separate power bank to the gimbal for extended use, while using the multifunctional module, is a huge benefit for long shooting days.
In terms of build quality, DJI maintains its reputation for producing durable and reliable products. The Osmo Mobile 7 feels solid and well-constructed, capable of withstanding the rigors of frequent use. The magnetic phone clamp and Multifunctional Tracking Module securely attach to the gimbal, providing a stable and reliable connection.
DJI OM 7 Tracking Kit
The DJI Osmo Mobile 7 with the Tracking Kit is a comprehensive solution for smartphone content creation. It combines advanced tracking capabilities, versatile accessories, and robust stabilization performance in a user-friendly package. While the price point may be a consideration for some, the features and performance justify the investment.
Overall Rating 5 out of 5
Pros:
The Multifunctional Tracking Module allows tracking in any app, not just the DJI Mimo app.

You can find out more about the test with this recent developer Q&A.
