Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor Egg Hunt Game Type Announced

Today, Ghost Ship Publishing and developer Funday Games revealed that a new mission type featuring a powerful boss is coming to Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor as part of the upcoming Heavy Duty expansion DLC, launching April 30th on Steam.

Introducing Egg Hunt, a new objective-driven mission where Deep Rock Galactic’s hard-working dwarves are once again being put to the test, tasked with tracking down and retrieving Alien Eggs buried deep within the mines of Hoxxes IV, for research, of course.

A fan-favourite staple of the original Deep Rock Galactic, Egg Hunt makes its debut in Survivor with some adjustments. Across a three-stage mission, miners will need to recover Alien Eggs and call in Bosco to deliver them back to the cargo pod before facing a final multi-phase standoff as a giant Brood Nexus emerges at the drop point. Miners are warned that as the powerful boss reaches critical health levels, it will grow a swarm of Nexus Sprouts to guard their fierce leader.

The reveal comes as part of the recently announced Heavy Duty expansion, which introduces the high-speed Demolisher class, a range of powerful new weapons designed to boost mining efficiency and more. With Heavy Duty launching later this month, there are a couple more reveals still to come before miners are cleared for deployment – follow Funday Games’ latest updates here for more information.

Hard Sci-Fi Space Game Lunar Strike Readies Demo for Launch

Cognition Europe is today announcing a PC demo for its debut game, hard science fiction and adventure, Lunar Strike, will launch next month ahead of participation in June’s Steam Next Fest.

Players will explore humanity’s last lunar base as Bo, an archivist on a mission to digitally archive humanity’s achievements on the Moon. But as their story evolves, their mission becomes critical as sabotage and espionage threatens the colony’s future.

The hard science fiction narrative means real-world physics is fully implemented into Lunar Strike’s gameplay, including 1/6th gravity; accurate propulsion and movement of the lunar lander, the Moon rover, and characters; the toxic effects of Moon dust; and more. The story is further enriched with a lore and narrative that raises philosophical questions about humanity’s use of technologies, inclusion, and cultural preservation.

Pushing its accuracy levels further is Cognition’s use of data through photogrammetry, structured light scanning, and LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technologies to recreate the lunar and comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko surfaces with extremely high fidelity.

Cognition is closely linked to non-profit organization, The Arc/k Project, which exists to digitally preserve humanity’s collective cultural heritage. The body’s mission forms the basis for Lunar Strike’s narrative.

Brian Pope, Creative Director of Cognition and Founder of The Arc/k Project, said: “This past weekend’s successful conclusion of the Artemis II mission begins a new golden era for humanity’s exploration – and occupation – of the moon, one that continues nearly a century into the future when Lunar Strike is set. May’s demo will introduce players to the game’s mechanics and systems rooted in real-world science, and begin to raise the philosophical questions around what it means to be post-human, the intersection of the human mind and synthetic intelligence, and the implicit tug-of-war between our obligations to the Earth, our ambitions for the Moon, and ultimately to one another. We’re looking forward to receiving feedback as we continue our trajectory towards the game’s launch in the summer.”

Lunar Strike is available to wishlist now on Steam.

DJI Unveils Osmo Pocket 4

DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today announces the Osmo Pocket 4. Building on the worldwide success of its predecessor, DJI has enhanced the imaging capabilities of its popular 1-inch CMOS pocket gimbal camera. It can now capture stunning 4K/240fps1 footage and clearer low-light shots while delivering cinematic depth via 14 stops of dynamic range1 and 10-bit D-Log1. With the Osmo Pocket 4’s new intelligent tracking capabilities, creators can keep their subjects in focus and in frame as they move and mingle in a crowd.

 

Clearer Low-Light Shots and Sharper Views

Osmo Pocket 4’s 1-inch CMOS sensor and f/2.0 aperture ensure natural, clear portraits even in low light. The 14 stops of dynamic range1 and 10-bit D-Log1 color profile bring out rich tones and true-to-life colors, whether at dusk, by the seaside, or in other low-light environments. With this improved straight-out-of-camera quality, portrait shots deliver healthier and more refined skin tones. It also achieves superior performance when capturing images in high-contrast lighting conditions. With a dedicated Zoom button, creators can switch between 1x and 2x lossless zoom1 with one tap. Ultra HD slow-motion footage can also be recorded in 4K/240fps1.

Smart Capture, Standout Shots

Osmo Pocket 4’s three-axis stabilization enables creators to film steady, high-quality vlogs and livestreams while walking. It features multiple gimbal modes for even smoother, silkier camera movements. With ActiveTrack 7.01, subjects can be tracked even at 4x zoom. Tracking modes, such as Spotlight Follow and Dynamic Framing, make capturing cinematic single-handed shots effortless.

Intelligent AutoFocus keeps subjects sharp. When “Subject Lock Tracking”1 is enabled, the camera automatically locks onto and tracks a selected subject. A new subject can be swapped with a simple tap on the screen. Alternatively, the “Registered Subject Priority”1 can be used to prioritize focusing on a pre-registered subject. Quick Shots can also be captured via gesture control1. For example, showing your palm (Palm Gesture) toggles ActiveTrack1, while flashing a peace sign (“V” Gesture) takes a photo or starts and stops recording.

More Intuitive and User-Friendly
The Osmo Pocket 4 enhances the user experience with several new intuitive features designed to streamline the creative process. To start recording, creators can simply rotate the screen. Below the screen are two new buttons. One is a dedicated Zoom button that can switch between 1x to 2x zoom1, or jump to 4x zoom. The other is a custom preset button that can be customized with the creator’s preferred settings. The new 5D joystick allows creators to move the camera backwards, recenter the gimbal, and flip the camera. With 107GB of built-in storage, creators can shoot more footage and easily transfer up to 800MB/s1 of footage without a memory card.

More ways to create with the Osmo Pocket 4 include:

  • Slow Shutter Video: In Video mode, shutter speeds can be adjusted to create motion blur, capturing movement trails and the passage of time for a unique visual experience.
  • Film Tone1: Choose from a range of film tones to easily recreate classic styles and capture master-grade tones.
  •  In-Camera Beautify     1: Fine-tune skin smoothness, brightness, and tone for a natural look in both selfies and group shots.
  • Attachable Fill Light1: Adds natural, soft lighting to enhance low-light or backlit scenes, with three brightness and temperature settings.
  • Extended Runtime & Fast Charging: Recharge from 0 to 80% in just 18 minutes1 for up to three hours of shooting. When fully charged, it can record up to 240 minutes of 1080p/24fps footage1.

Compatible with OsmoAudio Ecosystem

The Osmo Pocket 4 captures clear vocals while recording ambient sounds through its built-in microphone array. It also supports direct connection to DJI Mic transmitters, enabling a 4-channel audio recording. Supported DJI Mic transmitters include Mic 2, Mic 3, and Mic Mini (each sold separately or included in select combos).

Generation Exile 1.0 Release Date Announcement Trailer

Sonderlust Studios is thrilled to announce that Generation Exile, their sci-fi colony sim set aboard humanity’s first and final generation ship, will leave Early Access and fully launch for Windows PCs via Steam on April 17, 2026, as part of the 5th annual Earth Appreciation Festival! During Early Access, the development team made substantial improvements and additions to the game, including three biomes (Grasslands, Taiga, and Rainforest), new dangers, an expanded family tree system for NPCs, and much, much more.

Having left a ruined Earth, players command a colossal generation ship, rebuilding settlements across diverse biomes aboard while searching for humanity’s new home across the cosmos. Each biome presents new challenges as players build cities, manage limited resources, and optimize production chains as they navigate difficult choices about humanity’s future among the stars. With 1.0, Sonderlust Studios is delivering the full Generation Exile experience, including major refinements and additions shaped by player feedback during Early Access. Some of the new features and additions being introduced include a final planetfall preparation chapter with dynamic challenges that can also be played as a stand-alone sandbox mode, more structures and upgrades for more strategic depth and options for problem-solving, many more new both minor and major narrative events, and more.

“We could not be more grateful to every player who jumped aboard Generation Exile during Early Access. The collaboration and feedback was invaluable in getting the game ready for a full 1.0 launch, especially for a small team like ours,” said Sonderlust Studios founder Nels Anderson. “We’re very excited to soon be delivering a complete version of Generation Exile and seeing what stories new players discover and create in their own journey to earn a better future for humanity.”

Generation Exile asks players to venture aboard humanity’s first and final generation ship, a desperate expedition teetering on the rim of collapse. You are the Caretaker- you must make the most of finite supplies and rally the remaining survivors to rebuild a sustainable society within the ship itself. Adapt to the strange ecological entity propagating on board, or succumb to ruin. It’s going to be a long journey, but no two journeys will be the same.

Enlisted Gets Short Term WWI Game Feature

Gaijin Entertainment announces that Enlisted, the online shooter set in World War II, is expanding to include key battles from the Great War as well. To this end, squads with new extra-low Battle Rating levels – from zero to minus three – will be added to the game. Testing of the new mechanics will take place during the “All Loud on the Western Front” event, which will run until April 15th.

During this new event, players will be transported to the battlefields of the Great War, where they will find trenches, bolt-action rifles, clubs, and stationary machine guns. They will be able to experience war unlike anything they’ve seen in the game before. Here, a fierce battle for every inch of ground unfolds under artillery fire and gas attacks.

The event will center on a sector capture mode: two points are active simultaneously – one must be held, the other must be stormed. On a given signal, a general offensive begins involving the entire team, after which the enemy launches a counterattack. Particular attention is paid to the call for backup: radio stations are located at key positions, allowing players to call in artillery fire, bombardment, or even gas attacks. In the latter case, gas masks become not just cosmetic items as they were previously, but a vital piece of equipment.

For completing event objectives, players will earn Battle Pass rewards, including unique weapons of the era, themed customization items, and in-game resources. New items include the SMLE Mk III (T) and Mondragón M1908 rifles, as well as trench clubs, essential to the battles of World War I.
