Inky Blinky Bob – Official Launch Trailer

Eldelic Games today launches Inky Blinky Bob, a surreal action-adventure blending stylised horror, absurdist humour, and chaotic airborne combat.

Available now on Steam for PC for $14.99, the game launches with a limited-time 15% discount making it $12.70 for launch week, inviting players to pilot a weaponised hot air balloon across a hostile archipelago while uncovering the consequences of dangerous biotech experimentation.

Stepping into the role of a detective investigating mysterious signals from a remote island chain controlled by the secretive biotech corporation Quantum Corp, players arrive to find a routine investigation quickly spiralling into something far more dangerous. Following the signals deeper into the archipelago, the case begins revealing failed experiments, mutated inhabitants, and a monstrous airborne entity dominating the skies.

The experience moves between on-foot exploration and aerial traversal, with players navigating storm-swept coastlines, abandoned settlements, and underground laboratories while uncovering the truth behind Quantum Corp’s activities.

At the centre of the journey is the player’s weaponised hot air balloon, serving as both transport and weapon while allowing travel between islands and supporting mounted weapons during airborne combat encounters. Exploring the islands and gathering materials along the way, players repair and upgrade the balloon, strengthening it against increasingly dangerous threats.

Survival relies heavily on scavenging and resource management, with players collecting scrap, gears, metal sheets, and cloth to maintain equipment while carefully managing limited medkits and ammunition. Facing enemies at close range, combat shifts to brutal encounters using weapons such as axes and shotguns.

“At launch, we’re incredibly proud to finally share this strange world with players,” said Miroslav Ilić, CEO of Eldelic Games. “Inky Blinky Bob was born from a desire to create something eerie, explosive, and deliberately absurd. Balancing dread with dark humour, the game invites players to embrace both the chaos and the comedy.”

The game embraces a stylised and surreal aesthetic, featuring exaggerated character designs, twisted environments, and dramatic skies while blurring the line between psychological horror and dark comedy. The journey builds toward a confrontation with the game’s central threat: Inky Blinky Bob, a grotesque flying octopus-balloon creature looming over the archipelago.

War Thunder Ninth Wave Update Trailer

Gaijin Entertainment is pleased to announce that the new Ninth Wave Major Update for the online military action game War Thunder is now available for players. In addition to rank IX aviation and domestic Hungarian aircraft, it brings completely redesigned water physics and visual effects in naval battles! Iconic new vehicles include the Chinese J-15T fighter jet, the Italian Centauro II tank destroyer, the Russian Pantsir-SM-SV air defense system, and the French aircraft carrier Foch.

With the Ninth Wave update, naval battles have become even more epic. Subsurface scattering has been implemented for water, which calculates the distribution of light as it interacts with objects beneath the surface, creating a sense of interior volume within the body of water. Reflections on the water surface at different viewing angles are now more accurately rendered, and sea foam rendering is now based on swirl physics and wave resonance. The interaction between objects and water has also been improved, making bomb explosions and torpedo movements even more realistic.

The Chinese J-15T multirole carrier-based combat aircraft is externally reminiscent of the Russian Su-33, which served as the basis for the 15 series jets. Its internal components are completely different however – ​​for example, it features an advanced active phased array radar and Chinese WS-10B engines with an afterburning thrust of nearly 14,000 kgf each. The pilot can carry a large arsenal of unguided and guided weapons, including anti-ship missiles, on 12 hardpoints.

The Centauro II is an Italian wheeled tank destroyer, the prototype of which was unveiled in 2016. Unlike the first Centauro, the new model features the HITFACT Mk II turret, in which the automatic loader and ammunition stowage are located behind an armored bulkhead and separated from the crew, significantly increasing survivability. The arsenal includes the effective DM53 round with a penetration of over 620 mm, capable of combating even the most advanced armored vehicles. Furthermore, the Centauro II has a more powerful 720 horsepower engine, which quickly accelerates the vehicle to speeds in excess of 100 km/h.

The Pantsir-SM-SV is a modernized Russian anti-aircraft artillery system built on a mobile tracked chassis, and equipped with an improved radar with increased detection range and two new types of ammunition. The long-range 95Ya6M missiles fly up to 40 km at a speed of 1,700 meters per second. Their warhead deploys several dozen meters from the target, showering it with shrapnel. The new small TKB-1055 missiles are designed to engage multiple small targets at close range, such as UAVs, incoming munitions, and light helicopters.

More information about the update is available on the official War Thunder website.

Palworld and Enshrouded Bundled Together on Steam Starting Today

Keen Games and Pocketpair are proud to jointly announce that their respective games, survival action-RPG Enshrouded and survival action-adventure creature collector Palworld, have been bundled together on Steam at a 10% discount starting today — perfect for players who haven’t yet enjoyed either Early Access experience.

Both games launched into Early Access in January 2024 and plan to exit Early Access in 2026.

Good Company Among the Competition

In an industry as competitive for resources as video games — whether it’s for players, funding, development talent, or even attention — it’s no surprise that Palworld and Enshrouded were positioned as adversaries in the survival games space by media and commenters alike. Behind the scenes, both developers appreciated and admired one another for their own approaches to open-world survival action gameplay and invited a little friendly competition to improve their own efforts. Instead of squabbling, the two focused on delivering quality gameplay that would resonate with players in their own ways, choosing to invite inspiration instead of pursuing domination.

Starting today, players who have been debating between the two can take advantage of a 10% discount on both titles. Keen Games and Pocketpair would like the Palworld & Enshrouded bundle to symbolize their mutual respect and ongoing commitment to improving their games (literally and figuratively), and to connect fans of either title with each other through their shared similarities.

Besides creating two of 2024’s survival hits for their indie debuts, Keen Games and Pocketpair would like to share some other things they have in common:

  • Both reached millions of sales within days of launching and were nominated for Golden Joysticks in 2024.
  • Both games are great solo or with friends.
  • Both games build bases and encourage festooning them with decorations.
  • Both games have creatures you DO NOT want to annoy.
  • Both games know gliding is faster than walking and safer than falling.
  • Both games enjoy endless exploring, adventures, and creativity.
  • Both games have swimming, and recommend taking a buddy to prevent drowning
  • Both Pals and Flameborn enjoy farming and the indentured servitude of NPCs.
  • Both games allow players to fish, and are debating allowing players to chips
  • Both teams believe in being respectful of differences and having unique pursuits or approaches

Palworld is presently available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, with plans to launch into 1.0 in 2026. Potential and previous Palworld players can participate in discussions, follow for news and updates via the official website, X (formerly Twitter), Discord, YouTube, and TikTok.
