Bellwright – Official Console Teaser Trailer

Donkey Crew, in partnership with Snail Games USA, has revealed that their popular medieval open-world survival RPG Bellwright is now slated for PlayStation 5 in addition to previously announced Xbox Series consoles. To commemorate this reveal, Donkey Crew has unleashed the following all new video that premiered yesterday during IGN Fan Fest:

Bellwright is a medieval open-world survival RPG where you can establish and expand your own settlements, liberate the land and assist its villagers, and recruit others to your cause while learning more about a life you had to leave behind. Command your forces, prove your valor through combat, and cement yourself as the hero of your people.

Now available on Steam Early Access, Bellwright recently saw a massive expansion with its Maiden Voyage update last December, adding the new Halmare Isles map, which is roughly 25% the size of the original game! At over 10 square kilometers, this region includes all new story-based quests with multiple progression lines, expanded armor and equipment, new animals and buildings, and introduces a Loyalty & Faction system.

New God Save Birmingham Developer Update Trailer

Kakao Games and Ocean Drive Studio have released the second Developer Update video for God Save Birmingham, talking through many new features in the game that will be available for players to try out during this weekend’s Closed Alpha Test.

Watch God Save Birmingham Developer Update 2 below:

The new Developer Update video dives into combat in God Save Birmingham. As well as the reveal of a new blunt weapon type – which includes hammers, maces, and even hunks of meat – the video also shows off an improved aiming system coming to the game, allowing players to more accurately target specific areas on their zombie foes.

Enemies react differently depending on which body part is hit, with the newly added scythe weapon a perfect example. A well-placed swing could cleave a zombie’s head right off its body, but aim lower down and a player could use it to slice through an undead’s legs and knock them down to the ground.

Ocean Drive Studio also gives players a first look at construction and durability systems, allowing players to break down larger objects, or build and place structures like fire pits and install barricades, doors, and latches.

Other additions include a deeper health management system to avoid disease and injury, a new guide system, crafting, and custom animations for each gameplay mechanic.

“The feedback we’ve received from pre-alpha testers has been extremely valuable during our work on God Save Birmingham,” said creative director Hyeonseong Cha. “Thanks to the support of our players, we’re incredibly excited to welcome players for the Closed Alpha Test.”

Phase 1 of the God Save Birmingham Closed Alpha Test took place last weekend, resulting in plenty of useful feedback for the development team. Phase 2, which brings in both new and existing testers, will run from 26 February to 2 March 2026.

God Save Birmingham is available to wishlist on Steam now.
