Digital Cybercherries are pleased to reveal that DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER, the co-op reimagining of their viral horror hit, DON’T SCREAM, will launch December 3rd on Steam. DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER offers not only co-op, but also a new game mode where you can hunt down your friends, expanded locations, dynamic scares, improved voice detection, accessibility options and much more.
DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER is an experience about friendship, fear, and keeping your voice down. Up to four players must survive the night together by exploring, finding batteries for their camcorders, and speaking quietly through a forest that may – or may not – be haunted. Beware the jump scares, because if anyone screams, everyone restarts. If you choose to play in the new “Hunted” mode, speaking too loudly will see that player return as a playable hunter who can track, stalk, and intimidate the remaining team via proximity voice before finishing them off.
During today’s Xbox Partner Preview online conference, publisher NACON and studio ACE Team unveiled the first gameplay trailer for The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. The title offers a first-person horror experience that can be played cooperatively by up to four players online, and will be released in Summer 2026 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Freely inspired by the novella The Mound from the master of cosmic horror, H. P. Lovecraft, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu invites players to form a squad of 2 to 4 members to search for a legendary underground city containing priceless treasures.
The game is set in the 16th century, during the era of the great explorations of the New World. Each expedition begins on the explorers’ galleon, where players gather, select their next mission, and choose together the weapons and equipment that will give them a chance to survive what lies ahead.
Once ashore, players must work together to survive the cursed jungle, find treasure, complete their mission, and make it back to the galleon alive. The area is home to many creatures that threaten the explorers’ lives and also damage their sanity to the point of making them doubt everything.
Are you the only one who heard that scream in the forest? Is that your ally coming to your rescue, or a monster rushing towards you? Can you still trust your perception, and do you really have time to assess the situation? One wrong decision, one misplaced shot, and the mission could turn into a disaster. To survive, mutual aid and communication via proximity voice chat will be essential to untangle illusion from reality, dispel the group’s doubts and paranoia, and hope to return safe and sound (of mind) to the galleon.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu will be available in Summer 2026 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series and PC.

Included in the announcement is a first look at the upcoming ‘In the Jungle’ DLC gameplay, featuring a sneak peek of the new biomes, characters, and aquatic encounters.
“For Dave, Xbox is the final frontier, and we’re thrilled to welcome Xbox Series players into the adventure today,” said Jaeho Hwang, director of DAVE THE DIVER. “Fans around the world have embraced Dave and his wonderfully chaotic crew, and we can’t wait for a whole new community to dive not only into the base game, but the DLCs that have helped shape the game world into one that keeps fans coming back.”
Xbox players have immediate access to all available DLC expansions, including the DREDGE content pack, which adds an ominous red fog that, when active, enables Dave to catch underwater aberrations that can then be served to mysterious hooded visitors at Bancho Sushi; the Godzilla content pack, which brings Godzilla’s disastrous presence to the Blue Hole forcing Dave to pursue the legendary kaiju while battling Ebirah in a submarine, and collecting rare ingredients for new Godzilla-inspired dishes; and the “Ichiban’s Holiday” DLC, which introduces Ichiban Kasuga and other characters from the Yakuza series with new missions, minigames, and karaoke.
DAVE THE DIVER, which enjoyed global critical acclaim upon its Steam Early Access launch in 2022 and subsequent 1.0 release in 2023, is a charming single-player adventure RPG hybrid that has since released on additional platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 1, Nintendo Switch 2, and now for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The game follows Dave through his adventures in the mysterious abyss that is the Blue Hole, an ever changing underwater oasis teeming with life…and peril.
Masterfully blending exploration, business management sim, and fishing precision, DAVE THE DIVER sees players explore the deep sea by day, completing various missions and side quests, and run an exotic sushi restaurant by night. Supported by an eclectic cast of friends and partners, Dave tackles the intricacies of life, business, sea conservationism, and no shortage of underwater giants and the secrets of an ancient civilization.

astragon Entertainment and Aesir Interactive are proud to announce that the Contraband Expansion for Police Simulator: Patrol Officers is available now on PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Starting today, officers can report for duty at the brand-new border inspection stations in the State of Franklin, introducing one of the most ambitious updates to the game so far.
The Release Trailer showcases the expansion’s new environments, inspection mechanics, and tools designed to put players’ investigative instincts to the test:
Expanded Duties at the Border Zone
The border has opened, and the Brighton Police Department’s jurisdiction now extends beyond the city. Officers will work in two major inspection stations, managing vehicle checks, document control, and cargo verification. From the smallest cars to heavy trucks, every detail counts.
The expansion introduces a new gameplay type, where patience, precision, and intuition are key. Inside the office, officers analyze passports, driver’s licenses, and cargo manifests, while outside, they oversee inspections, watch queues, and respond to unexpected incidents along the checkpoint.
Inspection Tools for Better Checks
To handle these new responsibilities, officers can make use of powerful new technology. The biometric kiosk, X-ray scanner, and substance analyzer reveal what the human eye might miss, while the Titan Police Vehicle with a brand-new Border Patrol Vehicle Skin provides backup on and off the highway. The new Border Patrol Uniform Skin also shows the new responsibilities of the players when on foot.
Observation towers allow players to monitor the surroundings and report suspicious activity, while maintaining perimeter security remains crucial to keeping operations under control.
New Scenarios, New Challenges
In the Contraband Expansion traffic stops can escalate into pursuits, suspects may flee the inspection lane, and teamwork becomes essential to keep control. Combined with the Highway Patrol Expansion, officers can engage in fast-paced chases on the highways that surround the city of Brighton.
The new non-lethal shotgun ensures that even high-tension encounters can be resolved safely. All new features can be experienced solo or in the multiplayer mode for up to two players, with full DLC sharing support, ensuring every partner can participate in the new duties regardless of ownership.
Key Features
Map expansion into the State of Franklin with two new inspection stations
Document, vehicle, and cargo checks with realistic systems
Indoor desk work for document review and questioning
Titan Police SUV and advanced inspection equipment
Watchtower duty, binoculars, and fence repair
Dynamic scenarios, suspect resistance, and multiplayer support
CCP Games today launched EVE Online: Catalyst, the next expansion for the iconic sci-fi MMO, EVE Online. Mining has powered EVE Online’s player-driven economy for over 20 years; every ship, trade, and conflict begins with ore. This foundation-shaping expansion introduces sweeping updates to mining, exploration, and interstellar navigation, making it one of the most accessible EVE Online experiences to date.
Learn about all that Catalyst has to offer:
“Our goal is to equip capsuleers with tools that allow them to create and innovate in ways we can’t predict, and Catalyst is designed for exactly that. It is one of the most welcoming expansions in EVE Online’s history,” said Snorri Árnason, EVE Online’s Executive Producer. “Anyone can learn the ropes of mining through the new epic arc. It’s an approachable entry point for rookie pilots and returning veterans alike, designed to ensure EVE Online remains smooth and engaging for everyone.”
“With Catalyst, collaboration intertwines with conflict, making mining more immersive and dynamic than ever,” said Bergur Finnbogason, EVE Online’s Creative Director. “Hyperspace fractures, prismaticite, and the opportunity to land critical hits mean each mining expedition offers higher stakes, higher rewards, and, of course, the potential to become a battleground. Capsuleers will need to proceed with caution and utilize industrial command vessels, including the mighty Rorqual, to survive the resource rush.”
To celebrate Catalyst’s launch, CCP Games is broadcasting an EVE Online stream live on Twitch from inside a lava cave, deep within Iceland’s volcanic terrain, on November 19, 2025, at 19:30 UTC. Set inside Raufarhólshellir Lava Tunnel, located within the Brennisteinsfjöll volcanic system, this underground experience seamlessly blends spectacle with storytelling. With the Catalyst expansion centered on the foundations of EVE – mining, transformation, and building from the ground up – streaming from inside volcanic rock is a literal expression of the expansion’s spirit: “All of this from a rock.”
Mysterious hyperspace fractures rich in prismaticite, a powerful new ore, are forming in waves, igniting a resource rush across New Eden. Capsuleers eager to recover as much prismaticite as possible must brave lucrative phase field sites in low and null sec space before the sites collapse – or before rival capsuleers arrive to fight for it.
With the new epic arc, players can enjoy a story-driven adventure that introduces the expansion’s systems and rewards in an easily understandable format. Upon completion, capsuleers receive the Pioneer mining destroyer and gain a better grasp of EVE Online’s mining ecosystem, empowering players to make confident choices while mining.
Key highlights of the Catalyst expansion include:
Hyperspace Fractures and Prismaticite: Discover volatile, time-limited fractures to locate Phased Asteroids rich in prismaticite, a new erratic ore type. Players can test their luck with random reprocessing or choose a different base mineral for prismaticite to reprocess into, giving them increased agency for fueling the mining industry and impacting EVE Online’s player-driven economy.
‘Pioneer’ Mining Destroyer: The first of its kind, bridging the gap between mining frigates and barges. Designed for accessibility, this ship can be piloted by Alpha clones and upgraded by Omegas, offering an accessible gateway to EVE Online’s industrial gameplay.
‘Odysseus’ Exploration Command Ship: Explorationists can take advantage of the hotly anticipated Odysseus, a long-range vessel built for deep-space ventures with a unique expedition hold. With the ability to warp while cloaked and a built-in maintenance bay, the Odysseus enables explorers to lead extended missions into uncharted regions for stellar treasures.
Mining UX Enhancements: Mining cycles are faster and more enveloping with a refreshed scanning overlay. The addition of real-time data and color-coded readouts enables pilots to determine the value of encountered asteroids quickly.
2D Map: Leveraging a clean, node-based layout, the eagerly awaited new 2D map provides players with a variety of ways to view New Eden in a way that feels familiar and recognizable. Group stars by constellation or region, use arrow indicators to follow regional jumps, and toggle a ship’s jump-range visualization on or off as needed.
Map UI Overhaul: Customize the look and feel of both the 2D and 3D maps for rapid data visualization. Apply the new mining filter category to help discover ore across belts and nearby anomalies.
Mining Mutaplasmids and Critical Hits: New customization and chance-based yield spikes make resource extraction more unpredictable, engaging, and rewarding.
PLEX Transaction Logs: Personal PLEX transaction histories introduce transparency to the in-game economy.
EVE Online:Catalyst’s comprehensive additions and changes transform the way capsuleers collaborate, compete, and profit. Each mining operation can become a strategic flashpoint in New Eden’s robust economy – control the ore and control it all.
