NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition Available Now

Today, KOEI TECMO and developer Kou Shibusawa launched their military and historical simulation, NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition, across Nintendo Switch™ 2 and PlayStation®5. A culmination of the series’ 40-year history, players attempt to accomplish Nobunaga Oda’s unachieved ambition to unify Japan through a series of escalating war strategies and diplomacy.

NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening Complete Edition is the complete edition of NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION: Awakening, which was released in July 2023 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the historic series. It includes all downloadable content except collaboration DLC’s, supports 4K resolution (PS5 version only), features improved 3D rendering quality, and added mouse support. Additionally, it includes six new scenarios, including “The Birth of Nobunaga,” a large-scale battle mode called “Decisive Battles” where powerful clans fight for each other’s domains, and new character traits, enhancing the overall experience as players take on the role of a powerful Japanese leader in the troubled and tumultuous times of the Warring States Period, 16th century Japan.

In the new feature, “Decisive Battles,” large clans are pitted against each other in a fight for dominance. These battles occur between neighboring large clans that meet certain conditions. The process begins with two opening assault siege battles, serving as a prelude to a large-scale battle. Before the opening assault, there is a six-month preparation period, allowing players to strategize and gain advantages based on the outcome of the opening assaults. Victory in the “Decisive Battle” results in the complete occupation of the opponent’s domain, making it a true showdown that could determine the fate to unify Japan.

The Complete Edition also introduces six new scenarios, including historical and hypothetical ones. For example, the scenario “The Birth of Nobunaga,” features key figures like Nobunaga’s father, Nobuhide Oda, and the cunning strategist Tsunehisa Amago. The “Fateful Clash” scenario begins immediately after the Honnō-ji Incident, when Mitsuhide Akechi betrayed and attacked Nobunaga. Additionally, the hypothetical scenario “Absence of Great Conflict,” starting from January 1547, explores a world where the Oda clan’s rise continued without the Ōnin War. These scenarios allow players to experience a wide variety of Sengoku period situations, blending historical and fictional narratives.

DEADCAM Early Access Trailer Released

Joure Visser, a developer behind 2023’s viral success Don’t Scream, is excited to announce his latest project, DEADCAM. The 90s-inspired survival horror game invites players into a series of haunting encounters told through found footage recordings. The game is coming to Steam Early Access on June 23rd, and a demo will be available during Steam Next Fest this month.

Chilling J-Horror

DEADCAM applies the 90s analog aesthetic to a variety of gritty horror experiences. By navigating through various found footage recordings, players engage with a diverse collection of stories ranging from survival horror to psychological thrillers. Each self-contained encounter, or ‘file,’ boasts a unique setting and narrative. Uncover the mystery of these haunts by completing each file before proceeding to the next. DEADCAM’s Early Access introduces players to the first encounter, an atmospheric J-Horror challenge set in an abandoned school. Four additional encounters will be added throughout the Early Access period.

Explosive Encounters

DEADCAM’s found footage recordings see players through different stories; each file features its own setting, narrative, and gameplay mechanics tailored to the tone of the story. Across each file, retro UI elements monitor haunted activity in the area, including the size and speed of nearby enemy mobs. Idle opponents may walk or sprint to your location, forcing you to confront a handful–or a horde–of enemies. DEADCAM offers a variety of weapons, from firearms like pistols and shotguns to more brutal tools like flamethrowers and chainsaws. These handheld weapons, while powerful, require aiming before firing, which reduces movement speed. Melee weapons, such as the katana, also play a key role. Though quicker to use, melee weapons risk close-quarters vulnerability. As you battle through each encounter, monitor your vitality to make it out alive. A limited number of medkits are available, adding a layer of resource management to gameplay.

Early Access Coming Soon

The game’s Early Access arrives on Steam on June 23rd and will launch with the first of five files. Set in an abandoned Japanese high school, the file offers roughly an hour of gameplay. In this encounter, players can find and use three weapons: a katana, a pistol, and a shotgun. The file features three possible endings, but only one unlocks the full 100% playback percentage—the “good” ending. Details of the remaining four files will be announced soon.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow Announcement Trailer

During today’s PlayStation State of Play, Vertigo Games, in collaboration with Eidos-Montréal and Maze Theory, unveiled Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow, a fully immersive stealth experience set to launch later this year on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, and 3S, and PC VR. Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow brings back the iconic Thief franchise and reintroduces players to The City, where danger lurks around every corner and secrets are hidden in plain sight.

Watch the trailer here:

UNLEASH THE THRILL OF STEALTH

Experience the world of Thief for the first time in VR, blending classic stealth gameplay with next-gen immersion. Use your body to sneak past guards and your hands to pickpocket, pry open hidden compartments, and bypass locks through tactile interactions. Wield an array of arrows and tools to distract, disable, or eliminate threats with an arrow shot from your bow as you climb rooftops, sneak through back alleys, and uncover secrets in a dark, steampunk-inspired world. Every heist offers multiple paths and playstyles, whether you sneak past guards unseen or take them down from the shadows.

STEP INTO THE DARK AND DANGEROUS STREETS OF THE CITY

The City is a place of shadows, ruled by the tyrant Baron Ulysses Northcrest. You are Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Northcrest’s brutality and shaped by the streets, who steals as the only means to survive. That is, until you uncover something greater: a legendary artifact holding a legacy from the past. Steal, evade, and outsmart the forces controlling The City to unravel its darkest secrets and expose a sinister conspiracy.

A LEGACY REIMAGINED FOR VR

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is brought to you by Vertigo Games, the award-winning creators of Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine, in close collaboration with Eidos-Montréal, and is currently in development by Maze Theory.

Richard Stitselaar, CEO of Vertigo Games, said, “We set out to create a VR experience where players don’t just play a thief; they become one. It’s a privilege to work alongside Eidos-Montréal and Maze Theory on such an iconic franchise and bring it to life in a way that’s never been done before. This is the kind of immersive storytelling and interactivity we believe defines the future of the medium.”

Steven Gallagher, Creative Director at Eidos-Montréal, “Thief has always been about mastering the shadows, using a mix of tools and wit to navigate its dark and dangerous world. Whether you’re sneaking through or taking a more direct approach with arrows and the blackjack, it’s a place full of intrigue. Seeing it reimagined in VR is incredibly exciting, bringing a whole new depth to Thief’s atmospheric world, and we can’t wait for both longtime fans and new players to experience it in virtual reality.”

Phil White, CEO of Maze Theory, “It’s been tough keeping this one in the shadows—literally. We’ve been in full stealth mode, but now it’s time to step into the light and finally unveil Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. The team has worked tirelessly to stay true to the spirit of the series, delivering a level of immersion unlike anything you’ve seen. This is what stealth feels like when you are the thief.”

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is now available to wishlist on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, and Steam VR.

TurretGirls Blasts Onto Steam This Summer

Developer NANAIRO ENTERPRISE CO., Ltd. and publisher DANGEN Entertainment have announced TurretGirls, an over-the-top, on-rails turret defense shooter launching this summer on Steam. Alien freaks are pouring in from beyond the stars, and the only thing between them and total annihilation is a civil servant from the Planetary Alien Neutralization & Tactical Strike Unit (P.A.N.T.S.U.) and her trusty turret. Humanity’s fate, and her next meal, are on the line.

In TurretGirls, players take on the role of “Girl,” a turret-wielding defender stationed on the frontlines of Earth’s last hope: the SUPERWEAPON. With no backup and no second chances, it’s up to you to upgrade, survive, and blast wave after wave of alien scum back through the wormhole they rode in on. If she fails, the only thing on the menu is extinction.

RoboCop Rogue City – Unfinished Business Pre-Orders Open and Mac Details

Studio Teyon and publisher NACON are pleased to unveil a new video giving further details on the main characters of RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business. This stand-alone adventure follows on from RoboCop: Rogue City, retaining the key elements that made the previous opus such a success, while introducing a number of new features that will delight fans. Now available for pre-order, the game will be released on July 17 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and later on Mac.

In RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, players will be reunited with some of RoboCop’s best-known characters, such as Officer Anne Lewis, RoboCop’s loyal partner, Sergeant Warren Reed and robot ED-209. But RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business will also feature a number of new protagonists.

Players will meet Cassius Graves, the main antagonist of this new adventure and the mysterious leader of a group of dangerous mercenaries who have taken control of OCP’s latest project, the OmniTower, a massive residential complex designed to house the inhabitants of Old Detroit. Cassius is a charismatic and determined man, guided by a very personal and radical vision of Justice, and who commands his troops with an iron fist.

His right-hand man, Douglas Cole, is a perfect example of a mercenary. He is not driven by any ideals of justice, but rather by his own ambitions, renting out his services to the highest bidder. Players will also encounter Miranda Hale, a former OCP scientist who seems to know a lot about the OmniTower and the armed group that has taken over the building. Although her motives remain enigmatic, she will provide valuable intel to RoboCop and help him rescue the civilians trapped inside the tower.

Check out RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business’ pre-order bonuses:

In RoboCop: Rogue City – Unfinished Business, the part-man, part-machine, all cop hero returns to action in a new, independent adventure set after the events of RoboCop: Rogue City, and between the RoboCop 2 and 3 films. An ominous threat looms over the OmniTower, OCP’s latest project to house the inhabitants of Old Detroit. To carry out his mission, RoboCop will be able to rely on his trusty Auto-9 as well as new weapons, and unleash his unrivalled strength with devastating finish moves. Players will also get to relive events through gripping flashbacks, giving them the opportunity to play, for the first time in a video game, as Alex Murphy himself, who is still dubbed by the original actor from the first films, Peter Weller.

Let Them Trade Release Date Trailer

Developer Spaceflower and publisher ByteRockers’ Games are thrilled to announce that their charming city builder Let Them Trade is launching on July 24th, 2025 on PC. A new demo for Let Them Trade is also coming on June 9th as part of Steam Next Fest, featuring a first look at the game’s Knights and Bandits feature! So dust off your carriage, put on your trading boots and prepare to help grow a charming wooden world into your very own lively and thriving kingdom.

In Let them Trade you take on the role of a kingdom planner, who has been given the task of expanding and improving citizen’s lives by the game’s cheeky (and squirrel loving) monarch. Build a network of cities that produce and trade resources, upgrade your castle, and protect the cities from bandits. Tinker with the economy at your own pace, and watch the charming wooden world grow into a lively and thriving kingdom.

In order to expand your kingdom, you need to acquire the various resources scattered around the map, and trade them within your cities. Each city manages your citizens’ needs autonomously and possesses their own unique budget and resources. If citizens in a given city are happy then they will pay higher taxes, ensuring that your city is not only more wealthy but also more generous in trade with your other cities. On the flip side, if a city’s citizens are unhappy they will negatively impact not only their hometown but also the resources being traded to others. It’s all about balance!

Being successful isn’t without its drawbacks, as wealthy cities are more prone to attacks by bandits and robbers. Thankfully, you can hire knights in order to protect your precious citizens and their chiseled wooden features. You can also purchase goods through the castle and strategically trade goods for profits, or store them for when harder times strike. Let Them Trade features various scenarios with different challenges for dynamic gameplay, and its charming boardgame-like visual style combined with immense replayability will keep you hooked!

Let Them Trade launches into PC Early access on July 24th, 2025 and you can add it to your Steam wishlist today!
