KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, in collaboration with Nixxes Software, is proud to announce that DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is now available on PC through the Steam and Epic Games Store. Watch the brand-new launch trailer, edited by Hideo Kojima, here.

In this standalone sequel, DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH offers a new range of tools, weapons and vehicles at Sam’s disposal. With his companions from DRAWBRIDGE by his side, Sam takes on a new adventure to connect Australia to the Chiral network. Beset on all sides by enemies, Sam will have to shoot, sneak, and sprint his way out of trouble, as well as survive natural disasters such as earthquakes, sandstorms and forest fires, and brave the ruinous Timefall as he strives to save humanity from extinction once again. The Social Strand System returns, connecting players from around the globe allowing you to shape someone else’s world, and have their actions shape yours.

A brand-new challenge has arrived onto the PC version of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH. For those seeking the ultimate gameplay challenge to accompany the story, “to the wilder” mode tests your porter skills to the extreme in merciless environments filled with deadly enemies, and completing orders will require every ounce of ingenuity you can muster. Although there is no turning back once you embark upon this punishing journey, your reward will be a sense of satisfaction that is truly priceless, and you can expect genuine gratitude from the other porters you help.

Sam can also access new fieldware including new bandanas which can be unlocked through the newly added “Trapped in a Strange Realm”; a VR training area where you can relive Sam’s epic confrontations with Neil. Porters can also expect to see visits from the Chiral Feline in the private room aboard the DHV Magellan, new additions – including the Chiral Feline – to Photo Mode.

Thanks to our friends at Nixxes Software, features exclusive to the PC version include full integration with NVIDIA’s DLSS, AMD’s FSR and Intel’s XeSS and upscaling and frame generation technologies as well as uncapped frame rates and customised graphical settings1, super-ultrawide (32:9) support for gameplay, with standard ultrawide (21:9) support for in-game cut scenes2, full mouse and keyboard support with custom keybind mapping, full DualSense controller integration, with haptic feedback, adaptive trigger functionality3, and Spatial Sound Support4. Standard ultrawide (21:9) support will also be made available for the PS5 version also.

Additionally, players on PC with high-end PC hardware will have the additional option to enable Ray Tracing on Reflections and Ambient Occlusion via additional settings. When enabled, ray-traced reflections are applied on surfaces such as water and tar, while ray-traced ambient occlusion applies ambient lighting affects to scenes, resulting in more realistic shadows in crevices, corners, and between objects. These additional PC options are aimed at players with powerful hardware that want to push visual fidelity beyond the “Very High” graphics settings the game already offers. Though would like to note that Ray Tracing is not part of the minimum or recommended specifications for the core experience and is not required to enjoy the game as intended.

Porters who sign in and connect their PlayStation account also gain access to the PlayStation overlay to earn PlayStation Trophies, access your Friends lists, settings and player profile and receive unique in-game design patches for backpack customization and an exclusive suit inspired by the PlayStation logo.

Both a Digital Deluxe and Standard Editions are available for purchase:

Digital Deluxe Edition includes:

Machine Gun [MP] (Lv.1) early unlock
Patch 70: Quokka
Patch 71: Chiral Cat
Patch 72: Why Me?
Battle Skeleton: Gold (Lv1, Lv2, Lv3)
Boost Skeleton: Gold (Lv1, Lv2, Lv3)

Blood: Refreshed Supply Death Wish Expansion Out Now

Today, Nightdive Studios has released the Death Wish expansion for Blood: Refreshed Supply — its definitive remaster of the 1997 cult classic shooter — as a free game update. Death Wish features four episodes featuring all-new content exclusive to Blood: Refreshed Supply and acts as a sequel to the game’s events.

Expect more hellfire and sin than you can shake a crucifix at!

Originally developed by Monolith Productions and released in 1997 for MS-DOS PCs, Blood is a legendary first-person shooter that drips with Lovecraftian atmosphere and chunks of crimson viscera. Nightdive Studios first released an improved port called Blood: Fresh Supply on PC in 2019; with source code in hand, the studio then revisited the gory shooter with Blood: Refreshed Supply, which released in partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on December 4, 2025, on PC and — for the first time — consoles.

Armies of bloodthirsty fiends, including cultists, gargoyles, zombies, hellhounds, and a host of other unholy terrors, await across the game’s 42 pulse-pounding levels — waiting to be mutilated by a vicious arsenal of weapons. Blood buddies can also take the fun into multiplayer, either online or on the couch in split-screen. Advanced modding support keeps juices flowing for custom fan-made content. In addition to the original Blood campaign and the Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage add-ons, Blood: Refreshed Supply features two new mission scenarios: Marrow (available now) and Death Wish.

Death Wish — with four episodes, totaling 48 maps — begins years in the future after the events of Cryptic Passage, Post Mortem, and Marrow, where the specter of Tchernobog still looms after his defeat, having regained strength as protagonist Caleb fought other battles. When his growing power can no longer be veiled, Tchernobog’s forces face off against his foe as the moment of the Dreaming God’s ascension draws near. All maps have been upgraded from their previous mod versions, while the entirety of episode 4 and other levels are entirely new. All maps are co-op compatible and feature custom music from Noelle Amelie Aman (Speedy) and Sjellos (Silentsphere Studios).

🔵 MK-CHALLENGE: SOLVE THE MURDER 🔵

You are the fetishist, whose obsession with the totems of violence allows you to define more convenient truths. Find the evidence to condemn our chosen killer, and we will let you out.

🔴 NEW LIMITED-TIME EVENT: SCAVENGER 🔴

Prepare for the [REDACTED] collapse.

Enter the Trials with nothing. Salvage unstable, single-use Rigs from Reagent corpses. Collect discarded mechanical components and return them to drop boxes to be used for the [REDACTED] of [REDACTED].

Some questions are better left unanswered. For now.

The Occultist Final Dev Diary Explores Psychological Horror

Daedalic Entertainment and developer DALOAR present the fifth and final episode of The Occultist Dev Diary series, offering one last behind-the-scenes look ahead of the game’s release on April 8. The episode dives into the psychological foundations of the experience, focusing on ambiguity, player interpretation, and the kind of tension that lingers long after the game is over.

Instead of relying on traditional jumpscares or definitive answers, The Occultist builds slow-burning suspense through silence, anticipation, and imagination. The developers highlight how leaving questions unresolved allows players to form their own interpretations and remain connected to the story beyond the final moments.

At the same time, the episode explores protagonist Alan’s transformation, as he is forced to confront his past and emotions throughout the journey. The result is an experience where fear gradually fades, but its emotional impact stays with players well after the screen goes dark.

With its unique style of gameplay, Rule the Waves 3, like its predecessors, has a place in the hearts of naval warfare enthusiasts. The game, a simulation of naval ship design and construction, fleet management and naval warfare, is set between 1890 to 1970 and puts the players in the role of Grand Admiral of a navy.

With the new DLC, Expanded Battles, naval warfare fans can enjoy six detailed historical scenarios and two hypothetical scenarios, putting their skills to the test as naval tacticians. The expansion also offers a comprehensive set of tools to unleash creativity. Players can design ships using a powerful editor, save them, and share their creations with the community. The scenario editor enables the creation of historical or fictional naval engagements from 1890 to 1970, with customizable AI paths, variable deployments, submarines, and so much more to ensure that players can create the naval battle they’ve always dreamed of.

For those who prefer a quick skirmish to a long campaign or want to jump straight into the action, the new Quick Battles system generates battles from across the Rule the Waves 3 timeline, matching balanced or unbalanced forces from same or vastly different periods in naval history.

Rule the Waves 3: Expanded Battles adds replayability, depth, and creative freedom to an already standout naval warfare simulator.

New Scenarios:

Battle of the Yellow Sea (1904): The Imperial Japanese Navy attempts to block the unification of Russian naval forces in the Far East during the Russo-Japanese War.
Battle of Dogger Bank (1915): The British Navy gets wind of a major German naval raiding force composed of heavy battlecruisers and moves to intercept.
Battle of the Denmark Strait (1941): The Royal Navy’s interception squadron engages the Kriegsmarine’s battleship Bismarck as it attempts to raid Allied merchant shipping in the Atlantic.
Operation Rheinubung (1941): A small Kriegsmarine task force comprised of the battleship Bismarck and its supporting cruiser, Prinz Eugen, break into the Atlantic to menace supply efforts to the British Isles.
Operation Rheinubung Hypothetical (1941): An expanded version of Operation Rheinubung that gives additional forces to the Kriegsmarine and the Royal Navy.
Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal (1942): An Imperial Japanese Navy task force attempts to support efforts to eject the US from the important island of Guadalcanal, as the US Navy sends a force to reinforce their embattled troops.
Battle of the Eastern Solomons (1942): A US Carrier Naval Task Force moves to intercept a major Japanese reinforcement force heading for Guadalcanal.
Hypothetical Battle in the Mediterranean during the Cold War (1970): a hypothetical naval engagement between Soviet and NATO navies vying for dominance in the Mediterranean.

New Permafrost Video Reveals A World Where Nature Wants You Dead

Grab your gear and don’t forget your chemical heaters, as you step into the frozen wasteland of Permafrost, the upcoming story-based survival sandbox from development studio SpaceRocket Games and publisher Toplitz Productions. Once you enter this desolate open world, buried under ice and snow after a cataclysmic event that culminated in the shattering of the moon, you’ll discover that nature itself is trying to end your life.

The newly released video highlights the game’s dynamic weather systems and richly varied biomes. From the eerie beauty of dense forests with trees thickly covered in snow to the raw fury of blinding storms on the white tundra and the skeletal remains of civilization in the form of a destroyed metropolis, the stunning world offers a wide range of beautiful, yet dangerous environments.

Weather is more than just a backdrop and plays an important role in Permafrost as a constant threat that will punish you if you decide to ignore it. It’s a dynamic, ever-shifting force that you must read and respect, whether you take on the challenge alone or together with up to four survivors in co-operative multiplayer. For example, you need to read the subtle warning signs that an unforgiving blizzard is rolling in and use the time to find or build a shelter. Survival depends on understanding your environment as much as optimizing your gear.

Permafrost launches in Early Access on PC later this year. More information can be found on the official Steam product page, where the game can already be wishlisted or you can join the Toplitz Productions Discord to stay updated.
