Verho Curse of Faces Chaos Content Update & Console Release Teaser

The dark fantasy RPG from developer Kasur Games and publisher CobraTekku Games captivated many fans of the genre upon its release and inspired Steam users to give it very positive reviews. Starting July 30th, console players can look forward to the dark world of Yariv, the life-threatening dungeons, and the unique masks and playstyles of Verho – Curse of Faces. Also included is a content update that brings new content and challenges players on all platforms. The game will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch at the price of 24,99€/24,99$/20.99£.

The new teaser for the console release of Verho – Curse of Faces

In Verho – Curse of Faces, players take on the role of nameless protagonists exploring the hostile world of Yariv, where masks serve as essential protection and bearers of identity. Each mask represents a specific class, ranging from powerful melee fighters to agile duelists and mighty mages. The system offers maximum freedom: Instead of being bound by rigid constraints, flexible character development allows players to specialize in any direction they choose. Players can freely develop their individual class concepts at any time, regardless of their initial choice. The gameplay is characterized by a synergy of exploratory elements and combat challenges.

The visual presentation is inspired by the 32-bit era. Through the deliberate use of low-poly models and rough textures, the game captures the nostalgic PlayStation 1 aesthetic. These intentional technical limitations reinforce the game’s oppressive atmosphere and give it a unique identity.

MOZA Expands Beyond Controls with New Gen Flight Displays, Panels, and Cockpit Systems

MOZA (https://mozaracing.com) today announced its most ambitious expansion of its flight simulation ecosystem to date. Building on its success in force feedback flight controls, the company is introducing a new family of cockpit displays, avionics panels, and flight management systems designed to bring professional-grade immersion and functionality to sim pilots around the world.

The new product lineup includes the MA3F Electronic Flight Control Modules (EFCM), MA3F Flight Computer Display, MB7F Flight Computer Display, MGX1000 Instrument Panel, and FMP18 Panel Bundle.

Together, these products represent a significant milestone for MOZA, expanding the company’s ecosystem beyond flight controls and into fully integrated cockpit solutions for airline, general aviation, military aviation, and home cockpit builders.

“We believe cockpit building should be as intuitive as flying,” said the MOZA team. “This new generation of displays and panels is designed around simplicity, accessibility, and scalability – delivering streamlined setup, seamless software integration, and an ecosystem that grows alongside every pilot’s ambitions, from a single display to a fully integrated flight deck.”

A Smarter Approach to Home Cockpit Building

One of the biggest challenges facing home cockpit builders today is display integration. Traditional cockpit displays often require multiple HDMI outputs, additional graphics hardware, and complex cable management.

MOZA addresses this challenge through DisplayLink-powered connectivity across its display ecosystem, allowing users to expand their cockpit using simple USB connections without consuming valuable GPU. This significantly reduces system complexity while enabling larger and more scalable cockpit configurations.

The result is a more accessible path toward premium-level cockpit immersion.

MA3F Electronic Flight Control Module (EFCM)

Airliner Automation, Reimagined

Designed as a highly authentic Airbus-style FCU and EFIS system, the MA3F EFCM delivers realistic airline cockpit interaction through premium construction, custom segmented displays, and advanced tactile controls.

Every detail has been engineered to replicate the operational feel of the real aircraft, including a specially designed dual-rail push-pull mechanism that accurately reproduces the tactile behavior of Airbus autopilot controls.

Available in multiple configurations ranging from FCU-only installations to complete FCU and EFIS suites, the EFCM allows sim pilots to build the level of realism that best fits their cockpit and budget.

Pearl Abyss Brings Crimson Desert to Gamescom 2026 with Samsung Electronics

Pearl Abyss today announced its presence at Gamescom 2026, where it will partner with Samsung to showcase the acclaimed open-world action-adventure Crimson Desert with an immersive public exhibit and a series of developer presentations highlighting the game’s technology and production.

From 26-30 August, visitors can find the booth in Hall 09.1, Stand B020–C029, where attendees will experience the world of Pywel on Samsung’s latest gaming monitor hardware, including the 32-inch Odyssey G8, the industry’s first 6K gaming monitor with Dual Mode, offering either an ultra-high 6K resolution at 165Hz or a 3K resolution at an ultra-responsive 330Hz.

The booth will feature hands-on gameplay of Crimson Desert, live stage presentations, exclusive goodie giveaways, photo opportunities, and appearances from cosplayers inspired by the game’s characters and world.

Ahead of Gamescom, Pearl Abyss has also been invited to participate in Gamescom dev, Europe’s largest game industry conference, taking place August 23–25 at Koelnmesse in Cologne. The company will host two technical sessions exploring the artistic and engineering innovations behind Crimson Desert.

The first session, “How We Filled the Vast Continent of Pywel,” will examine the team’s world-building methodology, including how player exploration informed the design of Pywel, sample-based environment production workflows, and automated world-building pipelines that helped maintain visual consistency across the expansive open world. Developers will also discuss lessons learned while balancing vegetation density, terrain complexity, landmark placement, and environmental storytelling.

The second presentation, “Scaling Open World Creation in Crimson Desert with an In-House Engine” will focus on Pearl Abyss’ proprietary BlackSpace Engine. The session will explore the engine’s approach to creating dynamic, living environments while delivering realistic scale, atmosphere, environmental density, and seamless world simulation. Attendees will also gain insight into procedural terrain generation tools and biome-based placement systems that enabled efficient large-scale world creation while preserving artistic control and regional identity.

The sessions will be presented by Geun-tae Ahn, Senior Leader of the Art Level Division, and Jin-hwan Kim and Jin-ho Yoon, Senior Leaders of the Game Engine Graphics Division. Designed for environment artists, rendering programmers, and technical artists, the presentations will provide practical insights into the production processes and technologies behind Crimson Desert.

Following the game’s successful launch in March, Crimson Desert surpassed 6 million copies sold within its first three months, marking a significant milestone for Pearl Abyss.

Crimson Desert is available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Game Store and Apple Mac.
