1C Entertainment and Lapovich Team have today unveiled the release date for Kapital: Sparks of Revolution – the sandbox economic simulation game about class struggle. Get ready to guide a fledgling city through its turbulent period of growth, balancing the needs of the economic classes with the limited resources at their disposal, when the game lands on April 28, 2022 for PC.
Players take control of a ruined city after a conflict and must pull it up from the ashes to flourish again, but this means tough decisions have to be made. Passing laws, building infrastructure, imposing taxation, and gathering resources are just a few of the concerns a leader has to face, all of which will impact the people and their happiness.
Social unrest may arrive as a result of decisions made in the city, and it’s up to the player to ensure the happiness of the people through entertainment, resource distribution, housing, medicine, and policing if tensions spill into the streets. Not everyone can be pleased at all times, and when radicals gather outside the palace, things can get ugly.
Kapital: Sparks of Revolution will be available on April 28 via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, and other digital platforms. Priced at 24.99 USD / 24.99 EUR / 19.99 GBP, a 15% launch discount will be available during the first week.

Elgato, a leading provider of hardware and software for content creators, today announced the launch of HD60 X, a powerful new external capture card. Sporting state-of-the-art specs and seamless compatibility with the newest generation of game consoles, HD60 X equips anyone to stream and record their gameplay in the highest quality without limitations.
Building on the acclaimed HD60 S+, HD60 X features all-new architecture with rear ports to keep cables out of sight. The palm-sized, plug-and-play device connects to a console and sends video to both a gaming display and PC. You can then play high-fidelity games while livestreaming to Twitch or YouTube in Full HD 1080p60 quality, while simultaneously recording 1080p60 HDR10 footage to your hard drive. Instant Gameview technology syncs your broadcast with your gameplay, allowing you to monitor your capture feed with ultra-low latency.
“User-generated gaming content is one of the biggest entertainment vehicles in the world,” said Julian Fest, SVP and GM of Elgato. “We’ve pioneered the proliferation of this content for 10 years now. Our game capture solutions span three console generations and have powered hundreds of millions of uploads and livestreams. Today, we’re thrilled to launch yet another definitive capture solution for the latest generation of game consoles.”
HD60 X ushers in state-of-the-art passthrough technology for capturing your gameplay without compromising your next-gen gaming experience, so the latest PlayStation and Xbox titles can be enjoyed to the fullest in 4K60 HDR10 quality. HD60 X also features cutting-edge Variable Refresh Rate passthrough for ultra-smooth gaming without lag, stuttering, or screen tearing on compatible VRR displays.

4K Capture Utility (4KCU), Elgato’s powerful yet easy-to-use game capture software, is custom-built for creators looking to record without limitations. 4KCU captures all content – gameplay, cutscenes, soundtrack, chat – in high-resolution 1080p60 HDR10 or 4K30 quality with pristine 48kHz audio. If 4KCU is not set to record, Flashback Recording automatically caches several hours of gameplay so you can slide back in time to capture retroactively. Live Commentary enables you to save your voice as a separate track and adjust levels on the fly. To record while broadcasting live, Stream Link technology outputs HD60 X’s native feed to 4KCU and third-party broadcast software like OBS Studio, so you can record clean, clutter-free gameplay while streaming with overlays, alerts, etc.
Gameplay recordings are saved directly to your hard drive in space-saving HEVC format. 4KCU’s Library enables convenient file management tools, including Smart Folders to find and group recordings based on your search criteria. Files may be exported as AAF files for immediate editing in software such as Adobe Premiere or Vegas Pro.
Fully compatible with PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and dual-PC setups, HD60 X makes it possible for creators to capture gameplay in the highest quality without compromising their next-gen gaming experience.

Vaulted Sky Games and Coffee Stain, publisher of Valheim, Deep Rock Galactic and Satisfactory, are pleased to welcome the spooky happenings of Midnight Ghost Hunt to Steam Early Access today for $19.99!
Take control as either hunter or ghost in the chaotic multiplayer madness that brings a fresh, thrilling take to a classic prop hunt. As ghosts battle ghost hunters in a hijinks-heavy tussle between the living and the dead, spirits must possess objects in order to evade the hunters’ DIY gadgets and gizmos designed to detect and dispose of them. Use the Spectrophone, Radar and Pathfinder to detect ghostly presences, and pair them with a range of sledgehammers, harpoons, and salt-spewing shotguns to banish spirits to another realm.
But the ghosts have a trick or two up their spectral sleeves as well. While trying to keep their ectoplasm build up low to avoid the hunters’ steely gaze, ghosts can claim a variety of supernatural powers, which include turning invisible, corrupting seemingly innocuous pieces of furniture, and conjuring a deadly miasma. They can even become the ultimate prankster and masquerade as a hunter’s doppelgänger!
If even one ghost remains intact before midnight hits, the witching hour begins, and all ghosts return to form as vengeful spirits who now have the upper hand. The hunters are now the hunted, and must use their wits and tools in ingenious new ways until evac arrives.
The world was first introduced to Midnight Ghost Hunt at E3’s PC Gaming Show back in June 2019, where it showed its first full trailer and announced its partnership with Coffee Stain after a few work-in-progress clips racked up millions of views on Reddit in November 2018 and March 2019.
In February 2021, Coffee Stain welcomed two studios on board to help Vaulted Sky meet the quickly growing expectations of the project. She Was Such A Good Horse is made up of industry veterans with years of experience, while Ernst & Borg Studio have brought over their real-world architectural know-how to design Midnight Ghost Hunt’s diverse virtual environments.
After successful closed betas over Halloween, January, and now just before launch to whet players’ appetite, Midnight Ghost Hunt is now finally headed into Steam Early Access for everyone to enjoy, having debuted its launch trailer at the jam-packed Future Games Show last week.
“We can’t believe the day has finally come,” said Sam Malone, creator and lead developer at Vaulted Sky Games. “As we played Midnight Ghost Hunt with testers throughout the closed betas, they’ve continually remarked on how much the game manages to improve on itself every time. Though we’re very happy with what we have, launching into Early Access gives us the chance to keep listening to everyone’s feedback as the game is opened to a huge new audience. I look forward to seeing you on the hunt!”
Sebastian Badylak, Executive Producer at Coffee Stain Publishing, said “It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Sam and the extended team, and their passion and drive consistently wows us. We’ve had such fun participating in all its tests, alphas and betas over the years, and we’re so proud to be able to bring you all a game that’s so lovingly crafted and makes your heart race every time you pull off a well-timed combo or make a daring escape. We can’t wait for players to take their cunning plays to a new level, and guide us through development on our way through Early Access.”
Midnight Ghost Hunt is available now on Steam Early Access for $19.99.
