Red Hook Studios, the creators of Darkest Dungeon, have today released Curse of the Court, a brand-new free update for Darkest Dungeon II. A vampiric contagion threatens to infect players’ lands and topple their Kingdom. Curse of the Court is the third and final module of the free Kingdoms series of updates, and a console version will follow at a later date.
To celebrate the release, Darkest Dungeon II is having its first-ever free weekend on Steam, allowing prospective buyers to try out both Confessions and Kingdoms modes. Red Hook are also running their deepest discount to date on Steam: 63% off, plus extra reductions if a bundle is purchased that includes all DLC. This free weekend runs August 28-Sept 1 at 10 am PT.
Curse of the Court introduces an all-new enemy faction called Bloodsuckers – a group of vampirically-corrupted nobles marking their return after first premiering in the original Darkest Dungeon’s DLC: The Crimson Court. Swarms of Bloodsuckers have descended upon the Kingdom, bringing with them a supernatural contagion that can inflict your heroes with the dreaded Crimson Curse! Players will be challenged in an all-new questline to find a cure for this rapidly spreading infection and exterminate The Bloodsuckers before time runs out! Additionally, this release features new achievements to earn, and three new Kingdoms maps, each with a different layout that presents a unique set of challenges. These new maps are playable on any of the three different Kingdoms modules.
“Kingdoms started as a bit of a ludicrous experiment: What if we remixed our own game and created a completely stand alone new mode with three different new enemy factions and questlines? And then did it all for free? It was ambitious and risky, and that’s precisely the combination that gets Red Hook excited creatively. Making Kingdoms added a ton of value into Darkest Dungeon II but also kept us energized because we had a lot of fun developing this new strategy game within a strategy game. Chris and I are proud of the team’s work and are quite pleased that Kingdoms is closed out by the addition of our favorite blood-sucking insect courtier freaks!” -Tyler Sigman, Design Director
Kingdoms is a free game mode that introduces a fresh, reimagined structure alongside three adventure modules, starting with Hunger of the Beast Clan, followed by Secrets of the Coven and now Curse of the Court. Unlike the original Confessions mode, Kingdoms tasks players with defending the realm and a network of inns against powerful new enemy factions, including the ravenous beastmen, duplicitous coven and now the vicious Bloodsuckers. Curse of the Court is the third and final module of Kingdoms mode.
Additionally, a haunting physical edition for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, the Darkest Dungeon II: Anniversary Edition, was revealed by Red Hook Studios and Skybound Games earlier this year. It includes a Collectible Steelbook, an In-Game Pop-Up Diorama, a papercraft Stagecoach, a Playable Deck of Cards, the Original Soundtracks, as well as Redemption Codes for The Binding Blade, The Inhuman Bondage, and The Infernal Supporter Pack DLCs. The Darkest Dungeon II: Anniversary Edition is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com in North America and select European countries, set for release in Q4 2025.
Blue Dot Games has just unveiled the latest in their Developer Tapes series showcasing different aspects of ‘83, their upcoming 40v40 squad-based tactical first-person shooter set in an alternate 1983 where the Cold War escalated into an all-out warzone. This latest video highlights the two factions in this conflict: The United States Army and the Soviet Ground Forces.
Each faction is based on years of research, utilizing military archives, historical photographs, re-enactment groups, Cold War museums, and direct consultation with military history forums.
The US Army is built for structure, coordination, and precision. Utilizing period appropriate weapons like M16A1, The M60 LMG, and the MP5SD, this army is designed for accurate fire and tactical versatility. US Special Forces bring even more specialization, like shotguns tuned for close quarters combat. Their uniforms are standardized, with machined components, and plastics and polymers commonly utilized in weapons and gear; equipment that can be efficiently mass produced to adapt to the ever turning tide of war. Adopt the strategies of fire discipline, coordination, and role-based tactics to emerge victorious.
Soviet forces are designed for relentless forward pressure, implementing iconic weaponry like the AK074, RPK-74, and the RPG-7. Deploy Soviet tactics in ‘83 using movement in numbers, with waves of infantry supported by armored vehicles, and overwhelming firepower. Donning repurposed uniforms of canvas and leather, the soviet battle fatigues reflects the resourcefulness of the Eastern Bloc and their reliance on repurposed stock from earlier decades. Blitz through your opponents’ defenses with offensive pressure and volume of fire.
‘83 was built on the idea of “accessible realism”, with an aim to make everything as realistic as possible, until the point where it stops being fun, then it gets ratcheted back one notch. Taking you to the action fast, matches average around 30-40 minutes, and whilst dying only takes you out of the match for a short while, before allowing you to respawn, don’t underestimate this seemingly low-stakes penalty, as that time-out is enough to turn the tide of battle since ‘83 requires thorough communication and teamwork, with Team Commanders guiding their faction through strategic organization and nail-biting calls.
Players can choose from a variety of roles: from frontline riflemen to vehicle operators and support units – each with their own loadouts and strategic value. ‘83 features era-authentic weapons and equipment with realistic handling and lethality, with each armament meticulously designed and animated according to its real life counterpart. Every weapon behaves in a realistic way, with barrels and suppressors overheating when rapid firing, machineguns require a stable surface for accuracy, and bullets don’t magically teleport in between magazines when you reload a half-empty one. ‘83’s focus on realism, coordination and large-scale immersion offers players a gritty, boots-on-the-ground experience in a world teetering on the edge of nuclear war!
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) today announced METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER is now available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam®. METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER, a faithful remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater originally released in 2004 for the PlayStation®2, introduces a new generation of players and loyal fans alike to the very beginning of the Metal Gear saga.
FOX operative codenamed Naked Snake is deployed deep behind enemy lines to prevent a nuclear conflict between global superpowers at the height of the Cold War. His mission quickly devolves into a struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment where Snake must face the ultimate test. The remake stars the original voice characters, a rich storyline and expansive features of combat survival evolved with unprecedented graphics and immersive sound.
Watch the launch trailer here:
New Features:
A nightmare game hidden deep within the main story experience returns in collaboration with PlatinumGames. Snake’s GUY SAVAGE Δ nightmare sequence was originally featured in the 2004 release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as a playable easter egg. PlatinumGames has reawakened the nightmare that can be unlocked during the main story mode or after the entire story mode is completed.
METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER brings back a fan-favorite special game for PlayStation®5 and Steam® players. Snake must scavenge the jungle in search of the escaped apes in SNAKE VS MONKEY. A similar experience is available for Xbox Series X|S players featuring an explosive twist. SNAKE VS BOMBERMAN crosses over the tactical stealth action of the Metal Gear Solid series with the chaotic gameplay of the Bomberman series.
Additionally, an original multiplayer online mode will be added to the game later this fall. FOX HUNT is set in the same world as the main story. This new mode makes use of stealth and survival elements to deliver exciting hide-and-seek style, back-and-forth gameplay action.
What’s in the (cardboard) box!:
The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the Sneaking DLC Pack giving players multiple uniforms, face paints, masks, and unique equipment to use while infiltrating enemy lines. It can also be purchased separately after today’s launch.
A new episode in the Legacy series is now available to view featuring iconic English voice actors David Hayter (voice of Snake) and Lori Alan (voice of The Boss). What does it take to be as stealthy and effective in the field as Snake? Take a look at this training course montage to find out: https://youtu.be/noN49V-3VvQ?si=WrmxABDzjV7bMEK6

DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today announced DJI Mic 3, an ultralight wireless microphone offering powerful performance and unmatched versatility. Building on previous generations of the DJI Mic series, Mic 3 supports up to four transmitters and eight receivers, making multi‑camera production and group recordings effortless. It is also the first in the series to feature an adaptive gain control that automatically prevents clipping or dynamically balances the volume, along with three voice tone presets and two-level noise cancelling. Another first is the dual-file 32-bit float internal recording with 32 GB of storage.
Lightweight, Versatile, and Ready to Go
The DJI Mic 3 Transmitter is compact and discreet, weighing just 16 grams. The microphone angle can be flexibly adjusted with the detachable, rotating clip, ensuring optimal audio capture no matter how it’s attached. It can be worn with either a magnetic or a clip-on attachment. The DJI Mic 3 windscreens can also be purchased in five different colors to easily match clothing or the environment.
Creators can easily bring Mic 3 along from location to location for multi-scene shooting while recharging on the go. The all-in-one charging case neatly holds two transmitters and one receiver. The transmitters can be stored without needing to remove the windscreen and magnetic clip. There is also space for the magnets and locking cables.
An Upleveled, Premium Audio Experience
Crafted to offer all content creators an unprecedented level of control and creativity, Mic 3 is equipped with intelligent features that enable dynamic, high-quality sound. It is the first DJI microphone to feature two Adaptive Gain Control modes. For outdoor environments with dramatic volume, such as sporting events, Automatic mode suppresses sudden volume spikes and prevents clipping. Meanwhile, Dynamic mode automatically adjusts gain in response to volume changes, ensuring consistent loudness – ideal for quiet indoor settings like studios.
Mic 3 is the first DJI microphone to offer three voice tone presets: Regular, Rich, and Bright. Ideal for interviews with multiple people with different vocal characteristics, this feature professionally tunes voices, boosting low frequencies to reduce muddiness or enhancing high frequencies to improve clarity.
Simultaneously, two-level active noise cancelling reduces background sounds such as air conditioning to deliver crisp and clear audio. With the windscreen attached, wind noise can be further reduced. Finally, the Lossless Audio feature enables the transmitter to deliver uncompressed 48kHz 24-bit audio directly to the receiver, capturing audio in stunning, high-fidelity detail.
Flexibility Made for Collaboration, Versatility and Reliability
With its capacity of up to four transmitters and eight receivers at once (additional transmitters and receivers are sold separately), you’ll get crystal-clear audio on every device whether it’s a group interview or multi-camera shoots, making post-production a breeze. When set to Quadraphonic mode, the DJI Mic 3 Receiver—paired with select Sony cameras or computer software—supports independent output of four audio tracks. This enables precise track separation and flexible mixing, giving you greater creative freedom in post-production.
For complex, large environments such as trade shows or sporting events, Mic 3 features an impressive range of 400 meters and strong resistance to interference1, with automatic frequency hopping between 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands ensuring rock-solid transmission1.
Offers Dual-File 32-bit Float Internal Recording and Timecode Support for Easier Post-production
Internal recording protects material from wireless interference or device issues, ensuring users never need to worry about lost audio. The Mic 3’s dual-file internal recording saves both the original track and the algorithm-enhanced version. This allows for creative flexibility and simplifies post-production processing. With two internal recording specifications – either 24-bit or 32-bit floating point – Mic 3 provides a dynamic range that adapts better to complex sound environments, able to capture every nuance of a voice from a whisper to a shout. The transmitter offers high-precision timecode functionality, embedding timecode data during internal recording. Within a 24 hour period, the timecode won’t deviate for more than one frame1, guaranteeing precise synchronization across multiple cameras and allowing effortless alignment of footage in post-production.
Powering All-Day Creation
A fully charged Mic 3 transmitter lasts up to eight hours1, and the receiver lasts up to 10 hours1. The charging case provides 2.4 full charges, achieving 28 hours of extended use. A five-minute quick-charge can power the DJI Mic 3 for two hours1, while just 50 minutes is needed for a full charge1. The Mic 3 also offers multiple power-saving features to prevent the need for recharging. For example, Auto Power-Savings puts the receiver and transmitter to sleep if not in use, while Auto Power-Off turns them off after a period of inactivity.
Simple, Straightforward Connection within DJI Ecosystem and Beyond
With a direct connection to the DJI OsmoAudio™ ecosystem, DJI Mic 3 pairs with Osmo 360, Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo Action 4, or Osmo Pocket 3 without a receiver, delivering premium audio while minimizing the amount of gear needed and simplifying a creator’s workflow. To connect with other devices, Mic 3 features a locking 3.5mm TRS output port, a 3.5mm TRRS monitoring port, and a USB-C port. It can also connect directly to smartphones via Bluetooth without a receiver.
Offline Debut at IFA, 5-9 September, 2025
Be among the first to experience DJl’s latest ultralight wireless microphone, at this year’s IFA, Germany.
DJI Mic 3 will be available for tryout for all visitors to DJI’s booth in Hall 20-149, from 5th to 9th September, 2025.
