THQ Nordic and developer Ashborne Games have released a new trailer for the upcoming WWI RTS Last Train Home. On the arduous journey back to their homeland, the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic, the Legionnaires find themselves thrust into diverse roles: engineers and cooks, stokers tending to the ever-fading flames, grenadiers launching into the fray, and riflemen holding the front line. Medics tirelessly attend to the wounded while scouts cautiously probe the dangers that lie ahead. This challenging apprenticeship unfolds amidst the grim theater of war and the solemn duties aboard the train. Each trial sharpens their skills, forging invaluable expertise. While it is imperative to care for every soldier, the loss of a seasoned medic resonates more intensely than that of a rookie rifleman.
Explore the latest trailer to catch a glimpse of the harrowing journey your Legionnaires are undertaking.

Today, CCP Games launched EVE Online: Havoc, the latest expansion for spacefaring MMO EVE Online. Havoc adds new content and improvements that help players turn the tides of war or fan the flames of chaos on the frontlines. For the first time in the game’s 20-year history, players can now enlist with the game’s notorious pirate factions, subverting the balance of power in New Eden.
The ruthless Angel Cartel and Guristas pirate factions have settled in the recently discovered Zarzakh system, an area of space controlled by The Deathless, a mysterious harbinger of chaos, who has made his base in a Jovian megastructure called “The Fulcrum.” Seeking to disrupt the eternal power struggle between New Eden’s empires, both factions are actively recruiting pilots who possess a merciless, unending hunger for riches and glory. Players will need to make a choice: where do their allegiances lie? Will they defend their empire and suppress the pirate rebellion, or wreak havoc and fight for personal gain in the war zone?
“With Havoc, this is what we know for certain: capsuleers have some tough decisions to make, and even more dynamic and complex war zones will erupt into the cosmos of New Eden,” said Bergur Finnbogason, EVE Online’s Creative Director. “Adding official space piracy fulfils a long-held player ambition and brings EVE Online ever closer to our vision of the ultimate sci-fi experience. It expands the captivating life paths we can offer to new pilots as well as allowing veteran EVE players to come back to the fight and protect the empires they once loved… or help bring down those they hated.”
“EVE players are always looking for more and better ways to disrupt their enemies’ best-laid plans,” adds Snorri Árnason, Game Director. “Havoc offers capsuleers more tools and opportunities to gain an edge in the war zone, to press an advantage or influence the eternal tug of war in those empire battlegrounds. This will fuel the evolution and future of conflict in EVE, and we can’t wait to see how capsuleers will continue to shape the war zone and their shared universe.”
With Havoc, pilots can unleash their own chaos on the frontlines with the new corruption and suppression system, giving players two unique paths to explore and exploit, each with their own benefits and rewards. By enlisting with pirate factions and corrupting star systems in insurgency zones, players will unlock access to special faction-aligned storefronts, further cementing their newfound identity. Alternatively, those who seek to protect the empires will be able to engage in anti-pirate activity, quashing the flow of corruption and suppressing pirate efforts by retaking pirate-held sectors.
Corporation leaders now have more ways to achieve dominance in the theatre of war with substantially improved tools to manage their organizations and new ways to reward members for their efforts. Corporation Projects have been enhanced with new functionality and have been bolstered by a new corporation project manager role, as well as seven new project types covering a wider range of in-game activity, including long-awaited recognition for pilots who fly support ships in fleets and corps. Furthermore, the AIR Opportunities portal aimed at surfacing interesting content for new players will be accessible earlier for rookies, who can even engage with these activities before they’ve completed the tutorial experience.
“In addition to being an ideal opportunity to rejoin the fray as an experienced capsuleer, there’s never been a better time for new players to jump in and contribute to a cause greater than their own from day one,” says Emily Akland, EVE Online’s Senior Brand Manager. “Fresh pilots can immediately find their purpose and better access what appeals to them as they take their first steps.”
All this comes as new threats emerge to menace New Eden, the long-awaited Angel titan – a pirate behemoth – will enter the fray, joining the new pirate battlecruisers and destroyers for capsuleers to fly. Of course, players must first earn the trust of the Angels or Guristas to unlock the ships’ blueprints and begin their construction. Havoc also brings with it EVE Vanguard, a dynamic and evolving FPS experience in early development, which will be connected to EVE Online from day one. When it first comes online in December, players will have a chance to impact New Eden, and further fuel its war machine, directly through frontline corruption. To be among the first to join the ranks of Vanguard, sign up here: https://vanguard.eveonline.com.
The Pirate Insurgencies are underway, and now is the time for capsuleers to choose whether they will align with outlaws, spread corruption and wreak havoc wherever they go, or join an empire militia, suppress criminal activity and establish their reputation as an honorable upholder of the law. With the launch of Havoc, players will be able to impact the EVE Universe in space or from the ground. For more information about Havoc, see this blog post.

Lots of new (unedited!) gameplay scenes, unsettling enemies, and suspicious surroundings can be found in the new trailer, ‘Looking for Jeremy,’ for Alone in the Dark:
Immerse in gloomy neighborhoods and dangerous situations, questioning what’s real and what’s not. Ammo is scarce, and the monsters are pure nightmare material—sometimes it’s better to run and avoid fights.
The scenes will vary depending on whether you’re playing as Emily or Edward, making it worth experiencing both perspectives with two playthroughs. However, no matter how safe a moment may seem, the tide can quickly turn…
In this cruel business, the law of survival is the only one that really matters. In Hollywood Animal, scale dizzying creative heights, enjoy glamour and debauchery, face dark deeds and accept unpleasant compromises. This is the true face of Hollywood of the 20th century. Wishlist the game now on Steam and take a first peek at Tinseltown’s twisted underbelly in the announcement trailer below:
Weappy, the game’s developer, are staying true to the story-driven approach the studio is best known for in titles such as This Is The Police and Rebel Cops, this time combining it with all the depth and complexity of the finest economic simulators. Hollywood Animal boasts everything we love about the genre – building, resource management, upgrades and much more – but what really matters is what choices you make, and the all too human stories that get written along the way.
Build exactly the studio you want. Make it a multi-billion-dollar monster, or a trash factory that challenges “good taste” at every opportunity. Do whatever you like, if you can keep the whole thing afloat. This game doesn’t tell you how to play or limit you in anything.
Of course, the film industry is just one part of a much larger world. Wars and social upheaval, censorship and corruption, strained relations with the government and criminal disputes. Make your moves behind the scenes, form unexpected alliances, lie and betray.
Any approach is good – we are, after all, only animals. You can stick to the law – or stay on the authorities’ good side. You can raise the screenwriter’s salary – or remind him about the prostitute he strangled, which you yourself had hushed up. You can delay a film’s release to avoid competition – or ask your friends in the mafia to clear the whole calendar.
You’ll want to take great care, when picking the actor for the lead role in your Civil War epic. But in Hollywood Animal, it’s just as important how many ribs you’ll have to break before he accepts the part.

NeocoreGames is thrilled to announce that its critically-acclaimed dark fantasy role-playing tactical game, King Arthur: Knight’s Tale, is coming to consoles in 2024. Fans will be able to immerse themselves in the mystical realm of Avalon from February 22, 2024, when the game launches digitally for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
A unique hybrid between turn-based tactical games and traditional, character-centric RPGs, King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is a modern retelling of classic Arthurian mythology filtered through dark fantasy tropes, and presents a compelling twist on the traditional tales of chivalry.
The game originally launched on PC, following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020 that earned the game a devoted and passionate fanbase. Since its original PC launch, the game has been lauded by critics, described by RPG Fan as “a top-notch tactical RPG” and “the definitive King Arthur game.”
Thekla, Inc. today announced that Braid, Anniversary Edition is officially coming to PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC and Netflix on April 30, 2024. Originally released to critical acclaim in 2008 by Jonathan Blow, Braid is a puzzle-platformer that allows players to manipulate time in strange and unusual ways as they journey through unique worlds en route to rescuing an abducted princess. Upon initial release, Braid was heralded by critics with universal acclaim, myriad perfect scores and still holds a 93 on Metacritic.
Braid, Anniversary Edition reimagines what The A.V. Club called “the definitive indie game” for modern, high-resolution hardware via a variety of changes and updates that still preserve the fundamental integrity of the original release, including:
Improved sound and new mixes and variants of the soundtrack by Martin Stig Andersen (Control, Inside) and Hans Christian Kock
Hand-repainted graphics by original artist David Hellman
Animations with extra frames, for smoother in-game motion
Ability to switch back and forth between the old and new Braid on the fly
15+ hours of commentary featuring Jonathan Blow, David Hellman, Marc ten Bosch (Miegakure), Brian Moriarty (Trinity, Loom, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel), Casey Muratori (1935; Handmade Hero; Computer, Enhance!), Cris Moore (gamer, resident faculty at the Santa Fe Institute), Frank Cifaldi (Video Game History Foundation), Martin Stig Andersen, Hans Christian Kock, and Jakob Schmid.
Notably, the extensive and detailed developer commentary track offers a significant enhancement to the core Braid experience, as the Thekla, Inc. team offers their thoughts and insights into puzzle design, programming, visual art, math, the history of independent games and many other topics of interest to both fans and aspiring game designers alike.
“The goal is to make it the craziest, most-in-depth commentary ever put in a video game,” said Thekla, Inc. founder Jonathan Blow. “You can follow particular threads of commentary spatially, through wormholes that go from level to level to see evolutions of particular concepts; the commentary has lots of markup so we can circle stuff on the screen, point arrows at whatever visual detail we are talking about, show diagrams, play back recordings of gameplay to show what happens if you try doing this or that in a particular level, and many other capabilities.”
Braid, Anniversary Edition launches April 30, 2024 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC and Netflix. The title will also be coming to Mac and Linux at a later date.
