The Early Access for Path of Exile 2 has launched today, offering six characters, distinct endgame content, and couch co-op with full cross-play and cross-progression on all supported platforms.
A dark and grim adventure awaits players who like to tackle campaigns solo or party up in a group of up to six. Choose between a Monk, Warrior, Ranger, Mercenary, Witch, or Sorceress in Path of Exile 2. Each class can ascend to two different roles upon the progression of the game, which will help immensely in clearing waves of monsters during the endgame upon completion of the Campaign.
Set twenty years after the original Path of Exile, the forsaken continent of Wraeclast has been free of devastation. However, the Count of Ogham, tempted by the promise of power, unleashes Corruption on the land, resulting in the undead rising, mutating monsters, and spreading madness.
Under the dark influence of Corruption, the Count metes out death sentences to those who question him. Escaping the clutches of your executioners and narrowly making it to survival, players must track down the Seed of Corruption, the source of the devastation.
Players can expect to fight 50 bosses and 400 monster types in Early Access, along with seven distinct endgame systems for Path of Exile 2, which includes the Ascension Trials, Delirium, Rituals, and more. A second Campaign difficulty, titled Cruel Difficulty, is also added, which allows Exiles to rediscover Wraeclast in a much more challenging setting with greater rewards.
Uncover lost civilizations and conquer various bosses today in the most highly anticipated Action RPG, now available on PC, Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store.
Today, at the 10th annual PC Gaming Show, developer Red Barrels revealed a new trailer for the four-player survival horror game The Outlast Trials, teasing the upcoming Project Breach update which will bring an exciting addition: Amelia, an escaped test subject now turned against Murkoff, voiced by Caroline Dhavernas (Hannibal, Mary Kills People & Wonderfalls).
Project Breach will introduce Amelia’s story, along with a brand new trial, a new environment, a new member of the Ex-Pop, a new jammer Rig, a new release, and more when it launches December 10, 2024, on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, and Xbox.
“HE WHO CONTROLS WHAT JUSTICE DESIRES DEFINES THE CONTOURS OF LAW. SATIATE THE PROSECUTOR’S MORE DISCERNING PLEASURES.”
Despite the concerns about Amelia’s escape, Easterman pushes forward with new experiments, including the new Story Trial, “Pleasure the Prosecutor” in the new map, Downtown. Players must navigate Franco’s twisted cabaret, turning his devious theater against itself. Meanwhile, Murkoff Corporation ensures Reagents stay focused on their trials with new content, discouraging distractions or thoughts of escape.
A NEW HUNT BEGINS
Set in the 1950s, The Outlast Trials chronicles the sinister experiments of the Murkoff Corporation, a malevolent organization exploiting vulnerable individuals under the pretense of offering a better life. Reagents, lured by false promises, are abducted and subjected to horrifying psychological and physical trials designed to strip away their identities.
Trapped in a nightmarish facility filled with harrowing tests and terrifying Prime Assets such as Mother Gooseberry, Sergeant Leland Coyan, and Franco “Il Bambino” Barbi, survival seems impossible—let alone the thought of dismantling Murkoff’s experiments. But, someone has survived, and they have escaped… But why haven’t they left?
From within the walls of Murkoff’s facility, someone with a thirst for revenge lurks in the shadows. For the first time, Reagents will have a chance at a real possible escape. The staff at Sinyala should be on high alert.
As revealed in a new chapter of The Murkoff Collections (available for free here), Amelia joined Murkoff’s program deliberately, searching for another Reagent. Fueled by grief, fury, and conviction, she’s determined to bring down Easterman and destroy the Sinyala Facility.
“Reagents within The Outlast Trials have always been forced to be solely reactive, barely staying alive. Run, hide, survive, repeat. It’s this hopeless cycle that successfully strips participants of their morality and agency. With this latest update, we wanted to offer Reagents some form of solace, a chance at a collaborative revolt. Amelia is the lightning rod that will hopefully bring this plan to life, working behind the scenes on a mass exodus. She’ll do anything to tilt the scales, so long as she doesn’t get captured trying.” -Jonathan Morrell, Narrative Designer for The Outlast Trials.
In addition to Amelia’s storyline, Project Breach introduces:
A new trial: Pleasure the Prosecutor
A new map: Downtown
New MK-Challenges:
Reunite the Family: The nuclear family is the societal ideal. Release the orphan from the shackles of the state and reunite him with mother and father.
Deface the Futtermans: Childhood memories are the stagnation that impede your growth. Put away the childish things that clutter your mind.
A new rig: The Jammer
A new ending set in The Republic of Congo
A limited-time holiday event:Winter Kills
Project Breach releases December 10, 2024, on Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox stores. Amelia can’t fight alone—she needs you in the resistance.
Cowabunga! Strange Scaffold is proud to unveil Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown, the first-ever turn-based TMNT game from the developer behind I Am Your Beast, El Paso, Elsewhere, and more.
Developed by Strange Scaffold, and in partnership with Paramount Game Studios, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is a kinetic turn-based beat-em-up that mashes together the cerebral play of tactics games with the high-flying action that fans love about TMNT.
Announcement Trailer:
Play as each of the four iconic Turtles — Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo — and take the fight to the nefarious Foot Clan, among other iconic villains. Brawl it out in mutating levels, from the rooftops to the sewers, as the turtles confront the rise of a dangerous new leader. Each playable Turtle has their own mini-campaign, where you wield unique movesets and utilize super moves to turn the tide against opponents in strategic, turn-based battles.
Perfect for quick-play sessions that feel meaningful, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown’s fast-paced encounters only take minutes to complete. Eventually, players progress toward a dramatic finale, in which the Turtles must unite against evil forces.
“Building a truly powerful licensed game requires a deep respect for the source material, love for the fans, and a willingness to challenge tentpoles of the universe to create something that both surprises and delights,” said Xalavier Nelson Jr., founder of Strange Scaffold. “Bringing that kind of experience to life requires an equally powerful relationship – so I will be forever grateful to Doug Rosen and the team at Paramount for their collaboration, and putting their trust in our team to make an original take on the world that soars. I get to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game where the very first lines of dialogue establish that Shredder and Splinter are dead. Who else can say that?”
“Working with Xalavier Nelson Jr. and his team at Strange Scaffold has been an incredible experience,” said Doug Rosen, SVP, Games & Emerging Media, Paramount. “From our first conversation, it was clear Xalavier’s vision for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown would exceed our expectations, and his approach to bringing fans into the creative process is perfect for a beloved, multi-generational brand like TMNT. We really look forward to being able to share this with gamers everywhere next year.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown launches in 2025 on PC through Steam. For more information, follow Strange Scaffold on X.
From the creators of the critically acclaimed This War of Mine, The Alters invites players into an intense sci-fi survival challenge—one that Jan can’t face alone. Console players can dive into the beginning of Jan’s journey right now with a demo available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The full game, with the newest trailer aired during today’s PC Gaming Show Most Wanted, arrives on consoles and PC in 2025.
After crash-landing on a hostile planet under a blazing sun, Jan must survive in a high-tech mobile base designed for a crew he doesn’t have. His luck changes when he discovers Rapidium, a resource that, when paired with the Quantum Computer, lets him create Alters—alternate versions of himself based on changing the pivotal decisions from his past.
The Alters aren’t just workers—they’re individuals with their own skills, emotions, and motivations. While essential for keeping the base functional, crafting tools, and mining resources, their distinct personalities can spark tension. Despite their differences, they share a common goal: survive, escape, and rely only on themselves.
The game explores the timeless question: “What if I had chosen differently?” This core theme fuels a deeply personal and thought-provoking narrative as players navigate Jan’s struggle for survival.
The Alters will be released in 2025 for PCs and consoles. It will also launch on PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass.
