Naval forces have received a refresh with new ships and the addition of the aircraft carrier, which enables aircraft to launch and conduct missions from offshore locations. These features are supported by new multi-region islands and expanded maritime areas, which increase the depth and scope of both naval and air engagements.

Brand New Torchlight: Infinite Season Launches Today

XD Games is thrilled to announce that Vorax – the latest Torchlight: Infinite season – is now available worldwide on PC and mobile.

Watch the Torchlight: Infinite Season Preview below:

Vorax brings a plethora of additions to Torchlight: Infinite, including enemy monsters that have become infected with Vorax Syndrome. Players can collect this season’s currency, Vorax Substance, from these monsters once they’re defeated. Players can then access the Surgical Preparation menu, wherein monster rarity, quantity and – most importantly – activity can be increased using Vorax Substance. Loot drops scale depending on the total activity across all monster types, encouraging players to face off with more powerful monsters in order to get better rewards.

Other ways to bag higher value loot include taking on the large, fast, and rare invading enemy Scavengers. If players want elites and Scavengers to interrupt their runs more often, they can activate the difficulty-increasing Scalpels. These enhancers don’t consume Compass slots, and give players more opportunity to earn high-tier rewards.

A new crafting system called Grafting has also come to Torchlight: Infinite. This is the most flexible crafting system the game has ever seen, allowing players to combine stats that usually can’t exist on the same item. During the season, players can find Vorax Limbs, which are crafting bases that come with unique stats, and they can create gear that ignores attribute pools. Additionally, legendary gear can now be broken down, and its unique power can be extracted into a Core Organ mod, which can be grafted onto gear of the player’s choosing. Up to two legendary mods, with no slot restrictions, can be grafted onto a single piece of gear.

Watch “Vendetta’s Sting” Erika Hero Trailer below:

This update also adds a new Hero trait for Cateye Erika called Vendetta’s Sting. This trait is all about speed, dashing around – and through – enemies, dealing melee damage while in constant motion. Players more interested in spellcasters can avail of the new Tangle mechanic available to those heroes. Tangle involves casting a parasite-like spell that attaches itself to an enemy, dealing damage over and over for a duration of time.

A whole host of quality of life improvements are also included in this update. The UI has been tweaked to improve readability: the main interface, the trade house, the inventory, the netherrealm, and the skill system all look cleaner and sharper now, while equipment icons have been redesigned for visual clarity. In addition to all that, heroes Rehan, Carino and Gemma have had their models revamped. Likewise, a number of monster models have been altered, and combat effects overhauled, in order to provide the most spectacular visual feedback possible in Torchlight: Infinite.

For a full breakdown of everything new to the game during the Vorax season, watch the Torchlight: Infinite: Season Preview.

Torchlight: Infinite is available now on PC, iOS, and Android.

BAKUDO Launches New Combat Demo in Feb 2026

Shueisha Games is proud to announce that the competitive sci-fi hyperball sports boss-rush action game BAKUDO will launch its new demo in February 2026, on PC via Steam. This news also introduces new character visuals for two protagonists, Yuria and Evie, offering a first look into the world of BAKUDO and its heroes.

Playable Combat Demo Coming February 2026
The first playable combat demo for BAKUDO is set to launch online in February 2026, giving players worldwide their first hands-on experience with the game’s ball-based boss-rush combat. Previously available only at offline events, this demo will include a basic combat tutorial, a tutorial boss battle, and an early-stage boss encounter, and is designed to showcase early combat mechanics. The demo will continue to be refined as development progresses, with exact release timings to be announced soon via Steam and official social channels.

First Look at Key Characters
Striking new character visuals offer a first glimpse into the dynamic world of BAKUDO, introducing protagonist Yuria and her key ally Evie. Yuria enrolls in an elite academy dedicated to BAKUDO competition, driven to uncover the truth behind her missing father as she faces intense challenges and forms lasting bonds with those around her. Among these bonds is Evie, a genius inventor whose exceptional skill in developing BAKUDO equipment and outgoing, cheerful personality makes her a central figure in both the story and gameplay.

2025 Global Milestones
In 2025, BAKUDO saw major growth, with Shueisha Games announced as the game’s global publishing partner. Its debut trailer at The Mix Summer Showcase has over 550,000 views, and its demo showcased at events including Bilibili World, BitSummit, Gamescom and G-EIGHT, receiving enthusiastic responses from players thanks to the game’s unique blend of competitive ball sports and high-tempo action gameplay..

“We’re thrilled that BAKUDO has surpassed 50,000 Steam wishlists in just two months since our first trailer release,” said Jonathan Wang, Producer at Shueisha Games. “This milestone shows the amazing support and enthusiasm from our community. We sincerely thank everyone for their continued interest and encouragement as we move forward!”

Strategy Roguelite Nonentity Galaxy Launches Feb 3

The darkly humorous corporate satire Nonentity Galaxy, developed by Brick-Up Studio and published by 2P Games, will release on Steam on February 3, 2026 18:00 PST with a price of $9.99 and a 10% launch discount during the first two weeks. Players who buy the game will also get for free: existential crisis, dystopian poverty and a very small possibility of overcoming systemic oppression and rising as a warlord. But hey, faith is the substance of things, isn’t it?

Nonentity Galaxy is a roguelite strategy game that merges space combat and resource management with a tint of dark humour. Players take on the role of an employee for “The Company,” stuck in a dead-end job with no immediate way out. Since quitting isn’t an option yet, you make the most of it: while performing regular duties of scavenging wreckage from high-risk combat zones, you’ll get the opportunity to meet new allies, uncover privileged information, and “accidentally” forget to report valuable assets to use on your own personal ship.

However, the adrenaline rush of the illegal activities can make people feel more powerful than they are. In Nonentity Galaxy, evaluating the chances of winning is an important part of the gameplay. Players must learn to find the balance between fulfilling the Corporate requests, their own survival and the level of risk they can take on battles in order to survive.

GET OUT THERE, SURVIVE, COME BACK, REPEAT

Survival in Nonentity Galaxy is driven by decision-making. Players must choose how to reinforce their ship, which routes to follow on each mission, and when a fight is worth engaging. Planning is as important as firepower, and each sortie is a calculated gamble.

Routes offer different rewards and dangers: safer paths provide stability, while riskier ones promise rare modules and higher payouts. During combat, players must constantly assess their chances of victory, managing damage, resources, and salvage in real time. Winning a battle means little if you can’t make it back.

Between missions, players will have the chance to decide how to upgrade their ships. Components collected during exploration can be used to enhance weapons, shields, and systems, or converted into credits to spend elsewhere. Deciding how to allocate these resources is key to survival and can change the course of future missions.

STRATEGIC BATTLES ACROSS THE GALAXY

Combat in Nonentity Galaxy puts players in charge of tactical decisions without forcing them into every battle. You can let the Fleet AI handle engagements automatically, or take manual control to focus fire, reposition ships, and exploit weaknesses. Formation and positioning are critical, how you arrange your fleet affects both damage output and survival. Targeting priorities change the pace of fights, rewarding careful planning and quick thinking.
Just remember that sometimes, the smartest choice is to warp out early and preserve your fleet; dying yields nothing, but surviving lets you return to your base, upgrade your ships, and come back stronger for the next sortie.

DON’T FORGET TO PUT ON YOUR BRIGHTEST SMILE

Narrative depth and galactic politics remain central pillars of the game. Players step into the role of sneaky pilots, skimming credits from The Company and secretly upgrading their fleets while pretending to be model employees to keep their paychecks.
However, between sorties, they can rest on the Space Station bar and engage in conversations with other veteran pilots, navigating the murky “grey zones” where alliances, rivalries, and schemes unfold. Always tinged with sharp, dark humor that colors every conversation and decision.

Resident Evil Showcase Uncovers Terrifying New Resident Evil Requiem Details

Today’s Resident Evil™ Showcase roundhouse kicked its way into the hearts and minds of Resident Evil series veterans and newcomers alike with tons of all-new Resident Evil™ Requiem gameplay, additional details on the unique collaboration with Porsche, announcement of a time-stopping collaboration with the world-renowned watchmaker Hamilton, plus launch day availability on GeForce NOW and intel on NVIDIA’s latest DLSS 4 and path-tracing technology, all ahead of Resident Evil Requiem’s worldwide launch on February 27, 2026. Catch the full Resident Evil Showcase here on YouTube, and check out more info on each announcement below!

Gameplay & Story
FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft and Legendary DSO agent Leon Kennedy star as the dual protagonists of Resident Evil Requiem, offering players a unique combination of death-defying action and spine-tingling survival horror. As revealed previously, both protagonists will be playable in first-person perspective for deeper immersion, and third-person perspective for more dynamic action, swappable at any point during the game.

  • Leon Kennedy: Leon, experienced in both hand-to-hand combat and firearms, is investigating a series of suspicious deaths. While navigating this deadly situation, he’s able to wield a variety of weapons and execute close-quarters combat maneuvers with the all-new hatchet. Perfect Leon’s skills as you time your moves to parry enemy attacks, turn the tables as you attack with a chainsaw seized from an enemy, and pull off exhilarating finishing moves to deliver the final blow.
  • Grace Ashcroft: Grace begins her survival journey in a sanatorium overrun with zombies, requiring fierce judgement when deciding which enemies to fight and which to avoid. Limited resources and carrying capacity force the player to make critical decisions that can mean life or death. Acquiring a special device allows Grace to craft vital items using infected blood, unlocking the opportunity to diversify your attack strategies. The Requiem assault revolver, a special nod to the game’s name, is a custom gun boasting immense power and will likely be your last resort for survival. With limited ammo, will you use it right away or save your ammo for the horrors ahead?
  • Zombies: The zombies in this game have lost their minds, however some seem fixated on actions from their lives before death. A chef obsessed with cooking, a singer who keeps singing, a janitor who polishes mirrors endlessly…Could you exploit their behaviors to outmaneuver them?
  • Elpis: Elpis is the keyword that connects everything: the death of Grace’s mother, Alyssa Ashcroft; Grace’s own past; and the story connected to Leon. It’s up to you, the player, to unravel the mystery that leads to the truth behind the events depicted in Resident Evil Requiem.
  • Difficulty: Players can choose from multiple difficulties when experiencing the horror and action. Casual offers aim assist, plus more forgiving player health and enemy durability. Standard (Classic) heightens the tension, requiring Ink Ribbons for each save while playing as Grace, demanding strategy not only in resource management but also when to save.

Platforms & Technology
Alongside PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ 2, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store, Resident Evil Requiem will also release on GeForce NOW cloud gaming service, all starting the same day on February 27, 2026.

Resident Evil Requiem is also being optimized for a wide range of PCs ahead of its worldwide release, with high-spec PC players able to enjoy additional cutting-edge technology from NVIDIA, with DLSS 4 and path-traced effects that accelerate performance and enhance image quality.

Collaborations
It’s time to unveil an extraordinary collaboration with the historic watch company Hamilton which has intricately designed two dazzling watch models that replicate those worn by Leon and Grace in-game in stunning detail. The Khaki Field Auto Chrono (Leon) and the Pan Europ Automatic (Grace) can be purchased starting on Friday, February 27, the same day Resident Evil Requiem launches, and are extremely limited with only 2,000 units available worldwide.

And racing to the finish line is the lightning fast collaboration with Porsche, the automaker that has captivated car enthusiasts worldwide for decades. A one-of-a-kind Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT has been created with complex 3D printing technology, perfectly customizing the vehicle to fit into the game’s distinctly dark world. Designed around the core themes of performance and survival, this custom SUV appears in the game as Leon’s vehicle – a legendary ride for a legendary character.
