MicroProse is proud to announce that it will publish Darkenstein 3D, a retro-inspired first-person shooter created by a dedicated solo developer.
The game will launch as free to own on October 21st, 2025, bringing brutal, skill-based action to everyone at no cost.
Built as both a tribute and an evolution of classics like Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Darkenstein 3D blends pure old-school skill-based combat with modern twists in physics, gore, and environmental chaos. It’s fierce, funny, and ferocious — everything fans of retro shooters crave.
“I spent years immersed in games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Enemy Territory, making maps for the latter as well as Quake 3. Darkenstein 3D is my way of bringing that same fast, chaotic energy back. It is a raw shooter that lives between the first FPS classics like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D and the modern era. Louder, bloodier, silly, and built to be played hard.” said Rowye, creator of Darkenstein 3D.
For Honor’s latest season, Downfall, is out now bringing a new limited-time game mode, Hero skin for the Nobushi, Cross-Progression, and more. The new Hero skin is Lady Saori, a fierce warrior who once defended her castle from a treacherous attack by any means necessary.
The new mode, Bitter End, is the last phase of Breach, an asymmetric PvP mode where four Defenders must try to keep their NPC Lady Saori ally alive while four Attackers try to take her out. Attackers will have a limited amount of respawns and win by defeating Lady Saori. Defenders can win by depleting the Attackers’ respawns and then killing them one last time. Bitter End will also come with a free Event Pass, called Nightmare’s Dawn, featuring a unique Outfit, Mood Effect, and Ornament and lasts until Nightmare’s Dawn ends on October 2.
Downfall also coincides with the introduction of Cross-Progression in For Honor. Starting today, players will be able to merge all of their accounts and progression into a unified account accessible through their Ubisoft Connect account. This means that if you played For Honor on one platform in the past, but have switched to another, you can pick up your old account right where you left it and keep all the progress you make wherever you decide to play For Honor.
Finally, Centurion, Peacekeeper, Shinobi, and Berserker will all have new feats available in the Testing Grounds and Year 5 Season 3 rewards will be available through the Legacy Pass.
For Honor is available on Ubisoft+, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

We’re thrilled to announce that the global launch of Dying Light: The Beast will now take place one day earlier, on September 18, 2025, with players worldwide able to jump in on PC and consoles simultaneously.
Check the updated launch times in the map below.

We’ll reveal the full details during launch week, but it’s our way of showing gratitude to the fans who made this moment possible.
“Seeing the excitement from our community for the return of Kyle Crane in Dying Light: The Beast, and knowing the game is ready, we wanted to do something special for our players. We pushed ourselves to make the impossible possible, and that’s why we’re releasing the game a little earlier. I can’t wait to see players’ reactions when they finally step into the world of The Beast.”
About The Game
You are Kyle Crane. After being captured by the Baron and enduring his painful experiments for years, you escape. Left on the edge of humanity with both human and zombie DNA, you struggle to control your inner beast and the conflict that comes with it. But you’ll need to, if you want to get your revenge on the man who did this to you.
A unique blend of open world and action survival horror, Dying Light: The Beast is set in the beautiful, yet dangerous valley of Castor Woods that’s now overrun with zombies rather than tourists. To take your former captor down, you’ll need to form fragile alliances, as well as utilize all the combat and traversal options in your arsenal.
But be careful: out here, each step is a fight for survival, especially once the sun sets and the tension heightens as the true horrors come out at night!
Dying Light: The Beast will be released on September 18, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-order it now and get the Hero of Harran Bundle as an exclusive bonus.
Since its release on Sept. 5, Cronos: The New Dawn has captivated players and critics alike with its atmospheric world, intense survival horror mechanics, and haunting narrative. Now, following a successful global launch across PC (Steam, GOG, Epic), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, Bloober Team is marking the occasion with the release of a brand-new accolades trailer.
The trailer highlights glowing reviews and critical acclaim from top industry outlets, underscoring Cronos: The New Dawn as a bold new entry in the survival horror genre.
Set against the eerie, post-industrial backdrop of New Dawn — a city inspired by Nowa Huta, the historic socialist district of Kraków — the game spans two haunting timelines: a crumbling post-apocalyptic future and the oppressive, concrete-clad 1980s. This dual narrative fuses retro realism with dystopian sci-fi, creating a retro-futuristic world teeming with psychological dread and environmental storytelling.
A third-person survival horror experience, Cronos: The New Dawn invites players to unravel the mystery of a shattered world, face their fears, and confront the unknown — all while navigating shifting realities, scarce resources, and chilling encounters.
With its unique setting, narrative depth, and a distinct artistic vision, Cronos: The New Dawn signals a new era for Bloober Team — one where emotional horror meets existential terror on an unforgettable scale.
