Littlelands is a charming world filled with adorable characters and vibrant, claymation-like landscapes, lush with vegetation. Experience the daily life of the Littlelands at your own pace, exploring all of its mysterious nooks and crannies as you get to know and help the region’s quirky inhabitants. Grow berries, hunt for treasure, fish, or just sit on a wooden bench and watch the sunset.
What started as a simple task to fix a computer has now turned into a once-in-a-lifetime trek through hills, valleys, caves, jungles, deserts, and more. Bring your trusty shovel; who knows what you’ll encounter out there?
The demo, clocking in at around two hours, features custom character creation, six unique areas, multiple shops, twenty NPCs to interact with, a selection of tools to unlock, and seven enemy types for aspiring adventurers to whack.
Key features of Littlelands:
Discover the World:The Littlelands region is brimming with strange characters and magical landscapes to discover. Vast terrains await!

Don’t Let Your Guard Down:Your spirit of exploration will lead you to venture into new areas full of challenges, interesting characters, and curious objects. Just be careful; some regions can prove to be too dangerous even for the bravest of adventurers.
Play at Your Own Pace: Go on adventures in the dangerous lands of the “goblinetes” or relax in the safe townships of Littlelands. Farm berries, fish, catch insects, or search for hidden treasures with your shovel.

Developer and publisher Funcom today announced that update 1.4 for Dune: Awakening will arrive on May 19. Dune: Awakening is an open world survival game inspired by Frank Herbert’s Dune as well as Denis Villeneuve and Legendary Entertainment’s blockbuster franchise.
Since launching on June 10, 2025, Dune: Awakening has reached over 189,000 concurrent players on Steam and received more than ten updates, including two story expansions, new maps, and a major endgame revamp in Chapter 3.
Update 1.4 will expand the game with two new Overland Map locations (including one scalable Testing Station) and additional Landsraad Missions, further building on Chapter 3. Meet The Water Shippers in Wind Pass – the old Harkonnen tech hub. Or face the devious Dr. Jalanta in the secret lab in The Old Quarry Testing Station.
The update also debuts The Water Wars DLC, featuring building pieces and cosmetics based on the ruthless Water Shippers, the dynasty controlling most of the water trade on Arrakis. The DLC is the final part of the Season Pass and contains a set of Water Shipper–themed building pieces and cosmetics.
Update 1.4 does not add new story content to Dune: Awakening. This allows Funcom to prioritize highly requested systems that enhance player agency instead, with major updates planned for later – including the next chapter of the story.
In the recently released update 1.3.20, Funcom introduced a highly requested new option to choose between PvP or PvE according to playstyle wishes, making PvP in Dune: Awakening fully optional, allowing you to enjoy the full scale and content of the endgame without engaging in PvP. Like the majority of the updates delivered, this came as a response to direct player feedback.
Dune: Awakening Update 1.4 will be available for free on May 19. The Water Wars DLC will be priced at $9.99 or included as part of the Season Pass ($24.99 / €24.99).

Today during a special event at gamescom Latin America, Remedy Entertainment, Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen unveiled a brand-new developer diary along with new details for CONTROL Resonant, the highly-anticipated sequel to Remedy’s critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning CONTROL. The new developer diary video reveals more of CONTROL Resonant’s twisted version of Manhattan. Go behind the scenes with the development team and learn how they created a world outside of the confines of the Oldest House.
Watch the CONTROL Resonant Developer Diary
“What the Oldest House is to a boring office building, the Manhattan of CONTROL Resonant is to a regular city. For years, the players, developers and Dylan alike have been staring at the brutalist concrete walls of the Oldest House – it’s time to get some fresh air,” said Elmeri Raitanen, Art Director of CONTROL Resonant.
“The world of CONTROL Resonant is filled with paranatural action that takes place in an expansive, reality-warping playground of choice, power, and consequence,” said Mikael Kasurinen, Creative Director of CONTROL Resonant. “We are thrilled to be at gamescom LatAm and bring this latest update to our fans in Brazil and around the world.”
CONTROL Resonant will be published by Remedy Entertainment. Annapurna Pictures are co-financing and co-producing the game as part of a strategic partnership with Remedy Entertainment. CONTROL Resonant is scheduled to be released in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, Mac via Steam and the App Store, and GeForce NOW.
Today, Way of the Hunter 2 receives its first major content update, expanding the simulation with new systems and equipment that deepen both realism and player agency.
Players can now actively shape ecosystems through infrastructure improvements in reserves, by restoring damaged habitats, removing pollution, and clearing invasive species. These efforts directly impact animal fitness and population potential, creating more dynamic and sustainable hunting grounds over time.
A new layer of tactical hunting is introduced with suppressors, allowing for quieter shots that reduce animal alertness and prevent nearby herds from spooking. This enables more controlled harvests and improved follow-up opportunities, encouraging careful, selective hunting strategies.
The update also adds thermal optics, including both a handheld monocular and clip ons. These tools allow players to detect heat signatures in low visibility conditions, offering multiple viewing modes for scanning terrain, tracking movement, and identifying targets with greater precision.
Finally, Photo Mode is expanded with new player and dog poses, giving players more ways to capture both themselves and their hunting companions. These additions enhance storytelling and allow for more personalized and memorable in-game photography.
Way of the Hunter 2 is being developed by Nine Rocks Games and published by THQ Nordic. The game will be available for PC, PlayStation5 and Xbox Series X|S.
505 Games and Supernova Games Studios, in technical partnership with KUNOS Simulazioni, are pleased to announce the availabiity of 0.4 update in the Assetto Corsa Rally Early Access program – marking another important step in the evolution of the rally experience.
Two New Nineties legends added to the Garage
This update introduces two legendary rally cars from the 1990s, each representing a completely different technical philosophy:
The Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car, featured in its iconic IKE Racing livery, rose to fame with drivers such as François Delecour. With front‑wheel drive and a high‑revving naturally aspirated engine, the 306 Maxi is a pure tarmac specialist, renowned for its agility, precision, and asphalt‑focused performance.
The Subaru Impreza S3 Group A, driven in 1993 by Colin McRae and marking the beginning of the Impreza’s legendary rally legacy. Equipped with four‑wheel drive and a Boxer engine, the Impreza is built to dominate snow and gravel, embodying the all‑terrain resilience that would define Subaru’s success in the World Rally Championship.
Expanded Snow Conditions & Additional Events
Following the strong community response to snow driving, Update 0.4 expands the snowy weather technology to both the Alsace and Wales rallies. Drivers can now tackle these iconic stages in entirely new conditions, bringing fresh challenges and requiring new approaches to car control and stage strategy.
The update also introduces two new Event Groups dedicated to the newly added cars, for a total of 12 new events. In addition, a further event has been added for each of the three Traction Groups (FWD, RWD, and 4WD), featuring mixed weather conditions.
Official Collaboration with Jon Armstrong
We are extremely proud to announce that in March we began an official collaboration with Jon Armstrong, WRC rally driver for M-Sport. Bringing extensive experience across professional rallying, sim racing, and game development, Jon has played a key role in refining furtherly vehicle physics and handling.
Guided by his feedback and expertise, the Supernova team has focused particularly on improving tires, aerodynamics, and suspension, resulting in car behavior that is smoother, more predictable, and more communicative. These refinements make it more natural for players to manage critical driving dynamics such as wheel lock-up, loss of traction, and driving at the limit—phases that Jon himself identifies as essential for driving a rally car effectively and enjoyably.
Additional Improvements
Update 0.4 also includes a wide range of technical refinements, including:
Improved support for peripherals
Integration of Fanatec FullForce and Logitech TrueForce SDKs
Further overall stability and usability improvements
Full details of the update are available in the changelog.
UK-based publisher Kwalee and independent developer Galaxy Grove are thrilled to announce Steam to Electric, a railway management experience. From the creators of Station to Station and Town to City, the game lets players build and optimise their own railway network, transporting passengers and goods while unlocking some wild (but very real) historical train inventions. As their network grows, players will evolve from steam to electric, balancing simplicity with surprising depth. Easy to pick up but rewarding to master, Steam to Electric is all about building a complex railway empire.
“As a huge fan of trains and of management games myself, it’s a dream come true to make a game about some of the boldest railway innovations,” says game director Joost van Dongen. “From a train powered by literal jet engines to one that drives on a single rail and is kept upright through a complex gyro system, it’s hard to believe that some of these have really existed. But they did, and they worked! In Steam to Electric, we’re giving these amazing inventions a beautiful homage by letting you build them.”
Kwalee and Galaxy Grove have released an announcement trailer offering a first look at some of the game’s historical train models and deep management systems.
