Coffee Stain Publishing and Iron Gate are excited to announce that their multiplayer survival hit Valheim will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 devices this year. The news follows in the wake of the announcement that Valheim will be coming to PlayStation 5 consoles this year, as Iron Gate’s indie phenomenon approaches its full 1.0 release on PC.
Announced during the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase earlier today, Valheim’s teeth-clenching survival action will soon be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 devices, supporting full cross play between platforms, touch screen support for menus, advanced vibrations via the HD Rumble 2 and gyroscope aiming.
Valheim is a survival and exploration game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by Viking culture. Developed by Sweden-based indie studio Iron Gate and published by Coffee Stain Publishing, the team behind other hit titles such as Satisfactory and Deep Rock Galactic, the game challenges players to battle, build and carve out their legacy in the tenth realm. Since its meteoric Early Access debut in 2021, Valheim has earned widespread acclaim, boasting a 94% “Very Positive” rating on Steam with more than 524,000 positive reviews and over 12 million copies sold.
Since its Early Access release, Valheim has seen three major and multiple minor content updates expanding the tenth realm with new biomes, weapons, armor, building items and more. On release, the game will offer eight fully fleshed out biomes including the mystical planes of Mistlands, the harsh lavascapes of Ashlands and the enigmatic Deep North.
Valheim is currently available on PC, Linux, Mac, Xbox Series XIS and Xbox GamePass and announced for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. You can find the official Valheim press kit here, and you can follow Valheim on Twitter and Discord for more information and updates.

KOEI TECMO America and developer Team NINJA summon aspiring shoguns to enter the gates of hell and conquer the Crucible in Nioh 3, their new dark samurai action RPG, now available on PlayStation®5 and Windows PC via Steam®. To celebrate, a new action-packed trailer has been released, giving players a taste of the immense challenges they will face against a non-stop array of deadly foes.
In Nioh 3, players take on the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, poised to become the next shogun during Japan’s prosperous Edo period. In the shadows, Takechiyo’s younger brother, Tokugawa Kunimatsu, is consumed by jealousy towards his sibling. Empowered by a sinister force, he plots to overthrow Takechiyo and leads a horde of yokai, abruptly ending the era of peace and plunging Japan into hell. Guided by the mysterious power of their Guardian Spirit Kusanagi, Takechiyo transcends time to rescue a land in dire straits and become shogun.
The story of Nioh 3 unfolds on a larger scale than ever before in series history. Covering various eras and regions, including Edo Castle, the Totomi region during the Warring States period, the Heian period’s capital city of Kyoto, and, for the first time in the franchise’s history, the Bakumatsu period. Players will be able to freely explore each era as a vast open field featuring beautiful and distinct environments.
Nioh 3 introduces two distinct combat styles, Samurai and Ninja, that players can freely switch between during the heat of battle. The Samurai Style captures Nioh’s foundational, grounded combat experience, while introducing the new Arts Proficiency system to enhance Martial Arts abilities. In addition, the new Deflect mechanic allows players to block enemy attacks at the last moment to turn the tide of battle against deadly adversaries.
In contrast to Samurai Style, Ninja Style excels in agility, enabling players to swiftly dodge and perform aerial attacks while employing various Ninjutsu techniques to attack outside of enemy range. Ninja Style also features the Mist technique, which leaves an afterimage following an attack to momentarily distract enemies, as well as the Evade technique to narrowly avoid enemy strikes. Both techniques will help players outmaneuver foes while delivering devastating swift attacks from behind.
Before launching into the full game, players have the opportunity to hone their skills in the free demo, which includes both solo play and online multiplayer mode for up to three players across both PlayStation®5 and Windows PC via Steam®*. Fans can create their own custom character and dive into the turbulent Warring States period, even testing their abilities in an electrifying boss fight against Jakotsu-baba, with save data carrying over. Players who complete the demo by Feb. 15, 2026, will receive the in-game bonus item Twin-Snake Helmet, which can be used in the complete version of the game**. More details about the demo are available on the official website.
The Twin-Snake Helmet

Hear ye, hear ye! A fresh The Guild – Europa 1410 dev blog has hit the town square — and this time, it’s about a dead-serious topic: laws (and how to break them)!
Evading the law — or dragging your rivals before a judge — has always been a core part of The Guild franchise, and the upcoming entry, The Guild – Europa 1410, won’t be any different.
Learn how to charm judges, grease palms, frame rivals, and avoid an execution. Plot schemes in smoky taverns, spy on your business competitors, and see how far a well-timed “donation” can take you. The Lawbook may say what’s legal… but money always wants to have a word, too.
But creating laws is also within your power: depending on your position in the city council, you can shape the very rules others must obey. The Treasurer oversees everything about taxes, rents, and fees, while the Inquisitor keeps a sharp eye on crimes like blackmail and kidnapping. How you use these laws — to make your own family rise and prosper or to send your rivals’ dynasties tumbling into prison — will decide who truly rules the city.
If you want to dive deeper, noble squire, check out the full “Crimes and Punishment” Dev Blog for thyself here – before someone accuses you of ignoring official decrees: https://thqn.net/3NWsJHK
More dev diaries are on their way — next up: family, marriage, and the delicate business of producing heirs without losing your fortune (or your mind).
Build your dream farm and secure your family’s future. Cultivate your fields, raise animals and renovate your property.

Not only that: They can feedback directly on their gaming experience and help finetune Farmer’s Dynasty 2. The invaluable opinion of the playtesters matters and will be taken into consideration in terms of the next balancing and finetuning steps, before the game will be released into Early Access on PC later this year.

The Bugbear crew is back with Career Dev Blog Part 2, and this time they’re taking a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of Wreckfest 2’s upcoming career mode. In the new post, Bugbear explains how Unlock Points put you in the driver’s seat of your own career path. Whether you want to climb the ranks of demolition derbies, switch over to banger racing, or see how European and American circuits collide, progression is now entirely up to you. No fixed ladders, no dead ends. Just freedom and tons of scrap metal.
The team also dives into side quests and special events – those ridiculous fan‑favorites that make Wreckfest special. Maybe you’ll be thrown into harvesters vs. lawnmowers carnage, face school bus invasions, and other very serious motorsport spectacles designed to keep the mayhem fresh (and the Discord servers lively).
On top of that, players get a glimpse of what Bugbear calls a “living career” – a modular system built to keep growing, even post-launch, with new events, divisions, and disciplines. Unlike fixed, linear career modes that leave no room for expansion (like in Wreckfest “1”), this one evolves naturally alongside the game itself. Wreckfest 2 is designed to be the kind of game you keep coming back to – not one you finish and forget.
Curious how far Career freedom can go in a motorsport game? Read the full Dev Blog!

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN), North America’s largest regional amusement park operator, today announced the debut of Speedway Stunt Coaster at Six Flags México. The park recently celebrated the grand opening of its new family boomerang roller coaster with a major celebration where hundreds of guests were among the first to experience this exciting new attraction.
Speedway Stunt Coaster has quickly become one of the park’s standout attractions, offering guests of all ages the opportunity to enjoy adrenaline-fueled fun. Designed as a family-friendly roller coaster, it’s the perfect first step into the world of coasters for young adventurers, while allowing the entire family to share the excitement together.
Inspired by the world of racing and stunt action, Speedway Stunt Coaster immerses guests in a dynamic setting where they become the stars of an action-packed movie. With energetic twists, controlled speed and a unique themed environment, the attraction blends the signature thrills of Six Flags México with an experience designed for all ages.
Six Flags México continues to invest in experiences that strengthen family connections and create lasting memories. The grand opening was celebrated as a true festival, filled with energy, excitement, and smiles, as hundreds of guests joined the debut and became part of this new chapter in the history of Six Flags México.
Speedway Stunt Coaster is now open and included with daily park admission or Season Pass, joining the wide variety of attractions and entertainment that Six Flags México offers throughout the year.
One of the defining traits of the Gothic franchise has always been its living world. A dynamic ecosystem full of creatures, NPCs, and critters that carry out their daily routines, whether the player is watching or not. This self-sustaining environment has long been key to Gothic’s unmistakable atmosphere, turning the Valley of Mines into more than just a backdrop; it’s a breathing, believable place that feels alive.
In the fifth entry of their ongoing Making Of series, the developers at Alkimia Interactive take players behind the scenes to show how this hallmark feature has been faithfully reimagined for the new generation. Every area, landmark, and character has been rebuilt from the ground up, carefully balancing authenticity with fresh detail and modern technology.
Familiar sights like the old monastery ruins or the Tower of Xardas return in stunning new form, helping players navigate and recognize the world without relying on a map – just as in the original game, where players had to find a map before they could use one. This design philosophy remains intact, ensuring exploration still feels rewarding and immersive.
Another major highlight of this Making Of is the expanded armor system. In the classic Gothic, each faction offered light, medium, and heavy armor tiers. The remake goes a step further: players can now customize and modify their armor, both in looks and stats, giving every piece a distinct feel while keeping its faction identity intact.
The Making Of also introduces the new conversation camera system, adding cinematic flair and energy to every dialogue. Whether you’re facing a grumpy guard, a shady trader, or a friendly fellow (a very rare encounter in the Valley of Mines…), interactions now feel more personal and dynamic than ever before — but better see for yourself in Gothic 1 Remake – Making Of #5: Bringing the World to Life, available now on THQ Nordic’s official channels.
