UK games publisher Kwalee and independent game studio Fallen Tree Games have announced a new update for The Precinct, their neon-noir police action sandbox game. The update is available for free on PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The latest update for The Precinct lets officers deploy a fully trained working dog from the precinct kennels. The four-legged partner can be washed, fed, and customized there before heading out on patrol. Players can choose between different breeds and equip their dog with various harnesses and collars. The dog will obey a range of commands, including subduing dangerous attackers, pursuing fleeing suspects, and sniffing out concealed narcotics. The update also introduces several quality of life improvements and bug fixes.
The K-9 update is the second major update since The Precinct’s release after the previous update added exciting new features like access to a tow truck, and improved vehicle customization.
iam8bit, in collaboration with Universal Pictures and Blumhouse, returns to the world of Five Nights at Freddy’s with a new lineup of musical collectibles featuring the creepy and kinetic Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie soundtrack in three different formats. Available now for pre-order through January 7, the collection includes a 1xLP vinyl, CD and cassette, each containing the full 24-song track album, and will begin shipping in Q2 2026. Additionally, Back Lot Music has released the digital soundtrack, which is now available on all streaming platforms.
With music by The Newton Brothers (Midnight Mass, Haunting of Hill House) and album design by Scott Saslow, the physical collection features the retro-inspired score from Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Blumhouse’s sequel film based on the globally popular video game series.
“For the second film, we wanted to push the sonic palette with bigger themes, stranger textures, and a more aggressive sense of rhythm,” said The Newton Brothers. “The goal was to evolve FNAF’s musical identity while keeping the vibe, the obscure, the fun, and the horror that defined the first score.”
Included in the collection are:
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Vinyl Soundtrack ($31.99): Pressed on eye-catching FazTalker Green Vinyl, this record comes in four variant covers designed by Scott Saslow, each featuring a different animatronic. Collectors are guaranteed to receive all four by purchasing the Four Vinyl Bundle ($127.69).
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 2xCD ($19.99): A carefully curated compact disc release boasting sinister cover art that features the whole animatronic gang.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Cassette ($19.99): To pair with the retro-like score, this cassette comes in an old-school style shell packaging housed in FazTalker Letter Green plastic with Freddy and crew on the cover.
The Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise was born from game developer Scott Cawthon’s video game series and has become a longstanding pop culture phenomenon. The series follows unsuspecting security guards who uncover the dark history hidden inside a family-friendly pizza chain haunted by animatronics Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy and more. The franchise has since expanded into a film series from Blumhouse, with the latest installment releasing in theaters today.
iam8bit’s entire Five Nights at Freddy’s collection is available at iam8bit.com, and pre-orders for the latest products are available now.

Red Thread Games offered a fresh look at the highly-anticipated survival mystery Hello Sunshine with a new trailer exclusively unveiled at the PC Gaming Show Most Wanted, where it was also revealed that Hello Sunshine will be published by UK publisher, Megabit when the game launches in 2026.
Watch the new trailer and get a glimpse of what to expect in the game here:
Whether alone or with a friend in co-op, players walk in the shadow of a giant robot across a scorched, war-torn world. There is one simple rule: stay out of the sun. Step outside the robot’s shade during the day and players will find that the punishing heat will eventually kill them; remain close, and they might last until nightfall.
However, survival means leaving the robot’s shadow to scavenge for water, food, and resources. The wastelands are littered with the wreckage of a fallen corporate empire — abandoned service stations, shattered machinery, half-dead drones, and ruins still humming with autonomous tech. Everything salvaged can be recycled and turned into weapons, tools, and protective gear.
When the robot stops to recharge at night, players make camp. Cook, craft, repair, and upgrade equipment — including the robot itself. The bond between human and machine deepens over time, shaped by how players treat their towering companion. At the campfire, visiting strangers may drift into the firelight with stories that hint at what really happened to the world.
Will players piece together the mystery of this broken world before it’s too late?
Players eager to experience Hello Sunshine can sign-up to be part of an upcoming playtest at http://hellosunshine.appv
To celebrate this moment, KING Art Games is teasing a glimpse into the flagship Story Campaign, co-written by legendary Black Library author John French, which climaxes with The Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter, the first legion, answering the call of the Blood Ravens in their hour of greatest darkness.
Watch the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV story trailer here:
Epic war unfolds on Kronus
The trailer opens with a look at how the Blood Ravens under Captain Cyrus and Chief Librarian Jonah Orion have arrived in orbit over Kronus at the start of the game. After an intense orbital fight with the Warboss Gorgutz and his Orks, both factions find themselves planetside where Guzcutta – the second Ork Commander – is already waiting.
Elsewhere on Kronus, Technoarcheologist Potentia Delta-9 surveys the planet for its lost knowledge as the Chronomancer Thothmek begins the Necron’s invasion, awakening Kronus’ dormant tombs in their own search for secrets.
The Imperium’s forces are beset on all sides, their last stand losing strength and the lines on the verge of collapse until, at the last moment, it becomes clear they are not alone: the Dark Angels arrive.
The Dark Angels
For the first time in Dawn of War history, players will be able to play as two factions of Space Marines: the Blood Ravens and the Dark Angels, the latter of which are fully playable in all game modes.
Key things to know:
During the Space Marines campaign, players will undertake missions in command of both the Blood Ravens and the Dark Angels, and they can pick which missions they want to play
The Dark Angels have their own, playable Commanders for the Space Marines campaign: Company Master Astoran & Chaplain Ezrael
The Dark Angels have their own unique identity and history. As Space Marines, they share core strategies, tactics, wargear, and weaponry, while still maintaining the distinctive flavor and abilities of their Chapter
While the Blood Ravens are often engaged in smaller conflicts that require tactical finesse and sometimes involve stealth, the Dark Angels deploy their full might to the biggest battlefields
As the story saga reaches its breaking point, Lion El’Jonson himself descends onto the battlefield, giving players, for the first time ever, the chance to wield the legendary might of a Space Marine Primarch in a climactic, unforgettable finale
Kronus is a world in ruins, and the future is untold, but one thing is certain: War has returned to Kronus.

It marks a return to lush, immersive orchestral arrangements drawn from across The Legend of Zelda series, with selections from Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild, and beyond.
