Today, Crate is excited to reveal that Fangs of Asterkarn, the third and final expansion to the highly acclaimed ARPG Grim Dawn, launches July 23rd, 2026, on Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store.
Crate previously declared that Grim Dawn would not go out with a bang, but “with a tremendous roar,” and Fangs of Asterkarn does just that. Fangs is a bold exclamation, punctuating the ARPG’s enduring and engaging 10+ year life with the largest expansion yet, including an all-new region double the size of previous expansions, the shapeshifting Berserker mastery, and the new Ascendant mode, which turns the entire campaign into an endgame proving ground that will challenge even the most refined builds.
The journey into the land of the Asterkarn will span over 6 square kilometers, which is 190% as big as Ashes of Malmouth and 250% as large as Forgotten Gods, and features new environments that span from snowy peaks to breathtaking hot springs. These new environments are also riddled with secrets to uncover and hundreds of new treasures, such as New Epic items, unique Legendary items, and Monster Infrequents.
As players tackle this new chapter and purge the corruption tainting the land of Asterkarn, they will have new options further deepening Grim Dawn’s acclaimed ARPG gameplay. The 10th Mastery, Berserker, delivers a shapeshifting force of destruction that brings the dual-class combination options to a staggering 45, and the new potion customization system gives players a fresh way to mold their builds to their own playstyle. That’s only scratching the surface…

PQube and Dragonis Games are proud to announce that Necrophosis: Full Consciousness is available now on PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The complete edition brings Necrophosis to console for the first time, alongside the newly released Subconsciousness DLC.
Players can now step into the decaying world of Necrophosis, where the surrealist visions of Zdzisław Beksiński meet the cosmic dread of H.P. Lovecraft. Built around exploration, puzzle-solving and confronting the unknown across other dimensions, Necrophosis: Full Consciousness delivers an experience unlike anything else in the genre.
The launch trailer unveils new grotesque landscapes from Necrophosis alongside previously unseen footage from the Subconsciousness DLC.
Players begin as Consciousness, trapped within a vessel devoid of memory, exploring cursed landscapes to unravel fragments of the truth. The journey then descends into Subconsciousness, included in full in the console edition, navigating darker realms, encountering new entities and uncovering truths that Consciousness alone could never reach.
The game features several stunning and distant realms of death in a world consumed by Necrophosis. Players have the chance to explore the macabre landscapes while diving deeper into the echoes of the dying cosmos, where narrative poems enhance the enigmatic backstory and players engage with ancient gods and Lovecraftian-inspired entities, including Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Khnum and the Yellow King.
Each environment features minimalist, droning ambience layered with whispers, distant groans and echoing cryptic voices that heighten tension and unease. Face gods, eldritch entities and Lovecraftian beings who have taken refuge here, learning their histories and the horrors they embody. Return to the realm of death in the Necrophosis: Subconsciousness expansion, exploring new landscapes, entities and stories as your journey leads ever deeper.
Today, Owlcat Games has published a new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, introducing the self-sufficient and arrogant Aeldari Corsair Laarthyr Cairnareth. With his own path to follow, the new character is set to make a valuable addition to the player’s warband for those who want to risk being branded a radical for collaborating with xenos.
Laarthyr is an Anrathe, an Aeldari who was once bound to his Craftworld but abandoned rigid Asuryani tradition for freedom among the stars. But now he has left even that life behind, embarking alone on a mission that borders on the suicidal. Being a Way Seeker — an Aeldari psyker with the ability to navigate the Webway and guide his kin’s souls to the safety of the spirit stones — is both a blessing and a danger on his mission. It leads him to an Imperium world teeming with pathetic and narrow-minded mon-keigh, but teaming up with one of the Inquisition’s acolytes might be an arrangement that benefits both parties.
Laarthyr has valuable insights into the mysteries of the Warp, as well as the culture and psychology of xenos. In combat, he is a deadly close-quarters fighter who manipulates the warp to his advantage and hits his enemies’ weak points with his dual swords. He can also extend his insights and protection to his comrades-in-arms. All of these tools make him a valuable asset, especially if the acolyte dares recruit him at the risk of being branded a radical.
Fans can recruit Laarthyr in the current Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy closed beta, available to everyone who purchased one of the Founder’s packs on the website.
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy will launch on Windows PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) and consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S).
IO Interactive, the independent video game developer and publisher behind the HITMAN franchise, and Amazon MGM Studios proudly announce the worldwide launch of 007 First Light. One of 2026’s most anticipated releases, 007 First Light invites players into an original, reimagined origin story of a young James Bond as he earns his place within MI6’s elite training program. 007 First Light is available now on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, on Amazon.com, as well as for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store.
In 007 First Light, players step into the shoes of 26-year-old James Bond, a promising yet sometimes reckless Royal Navy air crewman recruited into MI6’s rigorous training program for the once revered and newly resurrected, elite 00-Programme. For the first time in video games, fans will be able to experience Bond’s ascent at MI6 from a recruit into a fully-fledged spy, as his sharp instincts, resourcefulness, and heroism propel him through the ranks and into the world of high-stakes covert operations.
Blending IO Interactive’s signature fluid, creative approach to missions with a globe-trotting espionage thriller, players will navigate each mission through infiltration, investigation, and the art of the bluff. Players will be able to choose how to overcome obstacles and challenges through brute force, cunning strategy, or disarming wit. Armed with Q-Branch’s finest gadgets, Bond will travel across breathtaking and dangerous exotic set pieces that capture the elegance, danger, and spectacle synonymous with Bond, ensuring every mission feels like a blockbuster adventure.
“With 007 First Light, we set out to honor the incredible legacy of 007 while creating a Bond gaming experience like no other,” said Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO Interactive. “This is a Bond still finding his footing, one players can grow with on his journey shaped by instincts, intelligence, and the resolve that ultimately built the character’s lasting impact.”
Star-Studded Ensemble Cast
To bring this original narrative to life, IO Interactive has assembled a standout cast. Rising star Patrick Gibson portrays James Bond in this reimagined origin story. He is joined by Priyanga Burford as the formidable M and Lennie James as Bond’s mentor John Greenway, alongside Alastair McKenzie as MI6’s tech wizard Q, Kiera Lester as Miss Moneypenny, and Noemie Nakai as the enigmatic Miss Roth. The ensemble cast also includes acclaimed actress Gemma Chan as the brilliant Dr. Selina Tan and Grammy Award winner Lenny Kravitz as the charismatic and unpredictable Pirate King Bawma. Further enriching the world of 007 First Light are special cameo appearances from Khaby Lame, the globally recognized creator and cultural sensation, alongside beloved British entertainer Jacksepticeye and legendary American streamer Shroud.
Iconic Sound
No James Bond experience is complete without a signature musical identity. Grammy-nominated artist Lana Del Rey, with legendary Bond film composer David Arnold, co-wrote and performed the game’s official theme song, “First Light”. In a blend of Del Rey’s signature vocals with Arnold’s sweeping orchestration, the track serves as the perfect atmospheric backdrop for Bond’s entry into a world defined by allure, danger, and consequence. The Flight, the UK duo, serves as the composers for 007 First Light’s score, delivering a bold soundtrack honoring the timeless legacy of the franchise’s sound, underscoring the game’s tension, elegance, and momentum. The game’s musical world is further expanded by cameo appearances from Superstar DJ Dimitri Vegas and drum and bass duo Chase & Status, who bring contemporary electronic energy to key in-game moments, with a high-voltage club sequence featuring original music from Chase & Status.
Time-Honored Partnerships
The game will feature the Aston Martin Valhalla supercar, heavily modified with Q-Branch’s latest advancements, for assistance in high-stakes encounters across global locations, alongside a selection of Jaguar Land Rover vehicles and a special Triumph motorcycle that help shape Bond’s journeys on land. Field operations are elevated with Leica’s camera, putting cutting-edge optics in the hands of the world’s most famous spy. In the game, Bond is equipped with OMEGA’s brand new Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light, a gadget-loaded essential that serves as a critical component on his adventure. Completing the look and lifestyle, 007 First Light partners with Orlebar Brown clothing, Coca-Cola, and Herman Miller, bringing the realism and immersiveness of these brands into the experience.
Cutting-Edge Technology
To achieve a new benchmark in visual fidelity, IO Interactive’s proprietary Glacier engine has been supercharged in partnership with NVIDIA. 007 First Light incorporates DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, maximizing frame rates on GeForce RTX PCs and laptops. Path Tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction will also be coming to 007 First Light later this summer.
007 First Light is available today on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, on Amazon.com, as well as for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch 2 version will follow later this Summer 2026. 007 First Light is available in Standard, Deluxe, Collector’s, and Legacy Editions.

Publisher Kasedo Games and Norwegian development studio Megapop are proud to announce that Life Below is out now on Steam for PC.
Life Below is a reef-building strategy game where players grow coral ecosystems, attract wildlife, and help life return to an ocean under pressure. Inspired by real marine biology, the game offers a fresh take on the city-builder genre – one seen from nature’s point of view.
Rather than focusing on endless expansion and extraction, Life Below asks players to nurture living systems where every species plays a role. As reefs grow and biodiversity increases, players must carefully balance fragile ecosystems against invasive species, rising temperatures, devastating hazards and the unpredictable forces of the sea.
Following a warmly received Steam demo, strong player feedback, and as a winner at the Unity Awards 2025, Life Below launches with a teeming selection of marine species, atmospheric original music by composer Julie Buchanan, and narrative design by acclaimed game writer Rhianna Pratchett.
“Most city builders are built around endless expansion and consumption,” says Lise Lie, Game Director on Life Below. “With Life Below, we wanted to explore a different kind of growth, one where the goal is to help an ecosystem flourish instead. Seeing players become emotionally invested in coral reefs and marine life has been incredibly meaningful for everyone working on Life Below.”
Launching alongside the game is a meticulously crafted Special Edition, as well as a Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) Supporter Pack, where all revenue goes directly toward supporting ocean conservation.
Life Below is available now via Steam and players can join the community on Discord.
