RoadCraft’s Reclaim Expansion Is Out Now

Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive are excited to announce the launch of RoadCraft’s second major DLC: the “Reclaim Expansion!” Marking a second year full of updates, this expansion brings exciting new content to RoadCraft, including two new maps and seven vehicles, as well as brand-new demolition and salvage gameplay. RoadCraft’s “Reclaim Expansion” is available today for $14.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

New Regions to Rebuild from the Ground Up!

The “Reclaim Expansion” adds two brand-new maps to RoadCraft. From storm-ravaged Central Europe to drought-stricken North Africa, these new maps introduce vital challenges to take on:

Autumn Collapse: Help this new forest-filled region recover from violent storms by clearing routes, stabilizing infrastructure, assessing buildings, and demolishing unsafe structures to reclaim valuable materials.

Summer Drought: An ongoing drought has rendered infrastructure unsuitable for the harsh environment, and players must secure access to water, rebuild critical facilities, and dismantle obsolete structures to prepare the region for long-term survival under extreme conditions.

New Vehicles to Help Manage New Gameplay Possibilities

The “Reclaim Expansion” introduces seven new vehicles to further harness and expand RoadCraft’s next-gen, physics-driven sandbox, including the 5111Б Dragline Demolisher, a heavy demolition vehicle ready to dismantle abandoned or unsafe buildings and recover salvageable resources, and the Torque G-175, a massive tree crusher designed to clear dense forests to create new paths for forestry-based missions. Players will also receive a new Scout vehicle, SAR vehicle, Heavy Cargo variant, and Heavy Sand Dumper, as well as the Hollander M7, a new cable layer for restoring power in damaged areas.

Today’s new expansion introduces a major feature that allows players to explore new demolition and salvage gameplay options solo or in co-op. Demolition is a strategic choice that allows materials to be salvaged and reused elsewhere, bringing a new sense of autonomy to RoadCraft’s gameplay. You can now rebuild your own way as decisions directly reshape the environment, influencing future missions.

Celebrate RoadCraft’s First Anniversary with the New 1‑Year Anniversary Edition

This edition is available now for $59.99 and includes the base game, the “Rebuild Expansion,” the “Timberworks Pack” DLC, as well as the brand‑new “Reclaim Expansion.” It also grants day‑one access to the Invictus Type A, a unique high‑performance scout vehicle. A new themed vehicle pack for industrial, resource, and off‑road missions will also be added soon, expanding the game even further.

RoadCraft’s “Reclaim Expansion” is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. For more information, visit the official Focus Store page.

Razer Unveils the Viper V4 Pro and Gigantus V2 Pro

Razer™, the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, proudly announces the launch of the Razer Viper V4 Pro and Razer Gigantus V2 Pro. The latest evolution of esports gear by the #1 gaming mouse brand amongst pro-gamers – this new duo is engineered to give players an edge in today’s most demanding competitive game titles.

The Viper V4 Pro takes one of the world’s most trusted esports mice and makes it lighter, faster, and more precise, while the Gigantus V2 Pro reimagines Razer’s flagship soft gaming mouse mat with five distinct speed ratings so players can choose the surface that locks in the way they play.

Refined by Pros. From the #1 Mouse Brand.

Esports Legends Lee “Faker” Sang-Hyeok and Nikola “NiKo” Kovač at Razer’s design studio.

At the highest levels of competitive gaming, milliseconds decide rounds and series. Built with direct input from pros, the Viper line has long been a fixture in top-level competition, while the Gigantus line remains a trusted choice for gamers seeking reliable precision mouse control.

Together, they form a pro-level combo built to outpace the fastest plays in today’s games, bringing quicker response and more consistent control than any other pairing out there.

“In Esports, matches swing on margins as thin as a few milliseconds. At that level, players can’t afford guesswork. They rely on what’s proven to win, which is why Razer has become the top choice of pro players,” said Jeffrey Chau, Global Esports Director at Razer. “The Viper V4 Pro is engineered to deliver faster, more consistent inputs where it matters most: live competition. Combined with the Gigantus V2 Pro’s specialized surfaces, this is a loadout built not just to keep up with the fastest plays in the game, but to outpace them.”

Razer Viper V4 Pro: When the Best Gets Better

Riding on the dominance of the Viper V3 Pro – the #1 Mouse used by esports pros, and still their top choice today – Viper V4 Pro takes the winning formula even further by delivering faster and more consistent aim, not just clicks that feel good.

Engineered for claw and fingertip grips, it sharpens pro-level fundamentals such as latency, tracking integrity, and click consistency, so players can focus on competing, not configuring.

“The Viper V4 Pro feels like an extension of my hand. Its responsiveness is exactly what is needed for high-stakes matches,” said Lee “Faker” Sang-Hyeok, six-time League of Legends World Champion.

Unmatched Speed and Precision

  • Razer HyperSpeed Wireless Gen-2 with true 8,000 Hz polling

While the DeathAdder V4 Pro was the first to debut this next-gen wireless platform, the Viper V4 Pro pushes the boundary even further – now delivering ultra‑fast latency with averages as low as 0.204 ms for clicks and 0.36 ms for motion, and true 8,000 Hz polling in both wireless and wired modes.

 Thanks to improved wireless efficiency and sensor optimizations, the Viper V4 Pro is around 2.5 times faster in motion latency and achieves up to 180 hours of battery life (at 1,000 Hz), nearly double the play time compared to equivalent wireless gaming mice options.

  • Razer Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor Gen-3

Next level precision with up to 50,000 DPI, 930 IPS, and 90 G acceleration, now featuring Frame Sync, the first sensor technology in the market to align sensor frames with the mouse’s scanning and polling cycle for just-in-time scanning and reporting. This minimizes motion latency even further, allowing for faster and more ultra-responsive aiming, all while improving battery efficiency by eliminating redundant sensor updates.

The sensor also includes advanced software tools such as Dynamic Sensitivity, Mouse Rotation, 1 DPI step adjustments, Sensitivity Matcher, Asymmetric Cut Off (26 levels), and Smart Tracking to elevate gameplay and make it easier to port settings between different setups.

Built to Last

  • Razer Optical Scroll Wheel

Optical scroll wheel tuned for esports that is 3.3 times more reliable and consistent than traditional mechanical designs. It offers more precise scrolling and helps prevent unintended scroll inputs during weapon swaps, ability cycling, or inventory navigation.

  • Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4

Redesigned with a completely updated switch architecture, delivering ultra-fast response times and up to a 100-million-click lifecycle. It retains true mechanical tactile feedback while leveraging optical actuation for crisp, consistent clicks with zero debounce delay, eliminating double-click issues common in mechanical switches.

Shaped by Pros. Made to Clutch

  • Ultra-light. Ultra-balanced.

Approximately 49 g in Black and 50 g in White – around 9% lighter than the Viper V3 Pro. This reduction is achieved through mechanical optimizations such as refined shell thickness and a more compact PCB, while reinforced structural elements ensure stability and durability. The result is a mouse that feels exceptionally light yet reassuringly solid in hand.

  • Ready to Plug-In and Perform

An optimized hemispherical dongle provides stable connectivity and at-a-glance status via integrated LED indicators. Razer Synapse Web enables streamlined, browser-based device tuning without software installation, and quick onboard adjustments let players change DPI and polling on the fly, for instant in-match optimization.

Razer Gigantus V2 Pro: Precision for Every Playstyle

The Razer Gigantus V2 Pro is the latest evolution of the Gigantus line. Designed with five distinct speed ratings and matching foam firmness, players are now able to choose a mouse mat that best suits them, no matter the playstyle.

“It’s the most complete mouse mat I’ve used. That’s why I chose it for my collection.” said Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, 10-time Counter-Strike Championship MVP.

Developed and rigorously tested with pro players such as NiKo, Faker and Zellsis, each speed rating reflects the different demands of roles from riflers to duelists to ADCs.

  • Forged for Pros, Tuned for Every Player

Specialized thread and weave patterns across five speed ratings let players choose the glide profile that suits them best.

    • Max Control: Ultra‑high friction for flick precision.
    • Control: High friction for consistent micro-adjustments.
    • Balance: Medium friction for a hybrid glide.
    • Speed: Low friction for fast swipes.
    • Max Speed: Ultra-low friction for lightning-quick movements.
  • Razer Proprietary GlideCore Foam

Foam firmness that fits each playstyle. Each speed rating is paired with a specific GlideCore foam type to deliver a tailored feel and stopping power, from cushioned, precise stopping power on Max Control to a firmer, faster response on Max Speed.

  • Optimized for optical sensors

Lab-tested with leading optical sensors to ensure pixel-perfect tracking, so every flick, micro correction, and wide swing feels consistent across the mat.

  • Built for competition and travel

Low-profile stitched edges that help resist fraying while staying comfortable, an anti-slip base that keeps the mouse mat in place during intense matches, and a rollable, warp-resistant design that is easy to pack for competitive environments.

A Complete Setup, Not a Single Gimmick

Together, the Razer Viper V4 Pro and Razer Gigantus V2 Pro deliver the ultimate competitive pairing that covers mouse, surface, and tuning. The mouse focuses on ultra-low latency, advanced sensor control, and a pro-validated shape. The soft gaming mouse mat range offers clear, playstyle-specific options that simplify the decision between control and speed.

More than just a faster click, this combination reflects Razer’s continued focus on performance-driven design, collaborative development with esports professionals, and gear that helps gamers turn practice into consistent performance on the big stage.

Terror Comes to PAX East With the First Playable Demo for Paranormal Activity: Threshold

Following the debut of its first gameplay teaser during the 2025 Indie Horror Showcase, DreadXP, in partnership with Paramount Pictures, will present the first playable demo for the upcoming horror thriller, Paranormal Activity: Threshold, coming to PC via Steam, at PAX East 2026 from March 26th to 29th in Boston, Massachusetts. Developed by Brian Clarke of DarkStone Digital, the creator of the horror sensation The Mortuary Assistant, this demo will give attendees the first opportunity to experience the terror of the Paranormal Activity film franchise brought to life.

Paranormal Activity: Threshold follows Daniel and Jessica Stewart as they record the process of remodeling their first home. The more they document their renovations, the more they realize that the house is hiding much more than just asbestos and faulty wiring. Their excitement turns into concern as they uncover strange markings and items hidden within the walls, revealing that they’re not the only inhabitants of their new home. The couple is unprepared for the horrifying events that follow, as they sink deeper into the influences of the dark presence residing there.

Upon its release in 2022, Clarke’s The Mortuary Assistant was a breakout horror title, amassing millions of plays and a dedicated fanbase, and has continued to stand out as one of the top games in the genre. Known for his signature approach to fear and immersion, utilizing an unnerving atmosphere and innovative scares, Clarke is taking everything he learned from The Mortuary Assistant to deliver a uniquely unsettling experience, expanding on the Paranormal Activity franchise’s legacy of found-footage horror in fresh, frightening ways.

Terrifying audiences worldwide since the release of the original Paranormal Activity film in 2007, the franchise has established itself as a mainstay of modern horror, with multiple sequels expanding the chilling universe. The upcoming game will offer immersive gameplay, allowing fans to experience the franchise’s trademark supernatural terror first-hand, encouraging players to search for more answers buried in the cursed Stewart home.

Paranormal Activity: Threshold is set to launch on Steam, with its first playable demo available at the DreadXP booth (13109 and 15108) at PAX East 2026, held March 26th to 29th in Boston, Massachusetts. Follow and Wishlist it now on Steam to keep up to date on future news.

Free-Form Puzzles With No Wrong Answers

ShantyTown’s latest demo also introduces its new Creative Mode, which allows unrestricted access to all previously-unlocked buildings and decorations. Players can revisit any location they’ve already surveyed, or build their own sprawling community in a sandbox state.
