In the early 90s, Coktel Vision (which later became Sierra On-Line) released a quirky point and click adventure game titled Gobliiins which had players bouncing between three different Goblins to find a cure for good King Angoulafre.

We’re thrilled to announce that Echoes of Mystralia is releasing in Early Access on August 11th, 2026!
This announcement marks a huge milestone for us as we’re ready to share the magical world of Mystralia with everyone.
The demo was just the beginning, and we’re incredibly excited for you to experience everything that’s waiting for you in Early Access. For more information about what’s in store at launch, take a look at our latest Devlog.
While the core experience will be playable at release, we’re taking some time to finalize the last stage of development alongside the community to make Echoes of Mystralia the best it can be for full release.
And for some even more good news, your saves and progression will carry over from the demo to the Early Access version of the game, with one exception:
We've reworked how Echo Fragments are earned and how Altar upgrades are unlocked. In the demo, the Echo Fragments are intentionally very easy to obtain, but they don’t serve much of a purpose. In Early Access, Echo Fragments will become a core progression resource and are earned by completing Watcher Duties and other challenges.
Because of this change, when you transfer your demo save to Early Access, all of your unlocks and progression will be preserved, but your Echo Fragments will be reset to 0.
This ensures everyone experiences the new progression system as intended. Otherwise, players who accumulated large amounts of Echo Fragments in the demo could immediately purchase every Altar upgrade, skipping the challenges designed around earning them and missing an important part of the game's progression.
Thank you to everyone who played the demo, shared feedback, reported bugs, and helped us improve the game. Your support has been invaluable as we move into this next chapter.
Can't wait until launch? Jump into the demo and start your spellcrafting adventure today!
You can ask your questions directly on our Discord or, if you're more of an email person, just write to us at community@borealysgames.com and our team will gladly help you.
U.S.A. July 2026 | The wait is over! The Planar March, the largest content update ever released for Erenshor, is now live on Steam!
Designed to recreate the thrill of classic MMORPG raiding without requiring other players, the Planar March dramatically expands Erenshor’s endgame with four sprawling raid zones, more than 20 unique boss encounters, new progression systems, and over 120 pieces of new gear to collect.
To celebrate today’s release, Burgee Media has also released a brand new launch trailer showcasing the scale of the update, including massive raid encounters, new environments, powerful enemies, and coordinated battles alongside Erenshor’s signature SimPlayers.
Unlike traditional MMOs, Erenshor lets players experience epic raids entirely on their own schedule. Using the game’s handcrafted AI-powered SimPlayers, adventurers can build their ideal raid group, tackle complex boss mechanics, and earn increasingly powerful loot, all without waiting for a guild to log in.
The Planar March Features:
Four brand new raid zones
21 unique raid bosses with mechanics inspired by classic MMORPG bosses
Over 120 new equippable items, plus new spells and skills
A new Raid UI for organizing and commanding SimPlayers
Raid progression with tiered difficulty and increasingly powerful rewards
Cosmetic equipment slots (transmog)
Improved loot systems, quality of life upgrades, balance improvements, and numerous gameplay enhancements
Roughly 30-40 hours of new content for average players, with considerably more for completionists
Since launching into Early Access, Erenshor has earned praise for its unique take on the MMORPG genre, delivering the feeling of exploring a living online world while remaining a completely singleplayer experience. SimPlayers level alongside the player, form parties, join guilds, acquire gear, and continue their own adventures throughout the world, creating the illusion of an active MMO without requiring an internet connection or other human players.
The Planar March represents Erenshor’s biggest milestone to date and brings players one step closer to the game’s full 1.0 release.

The game, which has sold over a million copies during its current Steam Early Access period, welcomes Nintendo players into the world of RuneScape for the very first time. Alone or in teams of up to four, players will explore the untamed, and fractured land marred by wild magic and terrifying dragons, build shelters, craft weapons, and carve their way through epic questlines and unforgettable encounters.
“RuneScape: Dragonwilds was built around player freedom allowing them to explore, grind skills, craft, and create unforgettable adventures together,” said Jesse America, Executive Producer of RuneScape: Dragonwilds. “Nintendo Switch 2 gives players a whole new way to experience the continent of Ashenfall, whether they’re jumping into co-op sessions with friends or continuing their journey on the move. We’re excited to bring the full Dragonwilds experience to Nintendo players this September.”
RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an open-world crafting and survival game that sends solo players or teams of up-to-four across Ashenfall, a previously unexplored continent in Gielinor, to uncover the source of a wild, transformative magic spreading across the fractured land. Harnessing the anima-rich landscape, players can wield powerful spells in combat and use magic to gather resources, craft gear and shelters, and aid their journey. Facing fierce dragons at every turn, players must level up skills, brew potions, and forge equipment as they battle their way toward the Dragon Queen herself.
Key Features:
RuneScape at its core!: Embark on quests, level skills while exploring a beautiful, hand-crafted world. This all-new adventure blends high-fantasy and iconic RuneScape lore on an undiscovered continent. Battle legendary RuneScape creatures like Zogres, challenge Black Knights and the entirely new and fearsome Garou, all set to a sweeping soundtrack of reorchestrated RuneScape classics and hours of brand-new music.
Grind Skills, Slay Dragons: Locate them, throw down the gauntlet, and carve a path to the Dragon Queen herself. Follow the trail of destruction and uncover the mysteries of the continent to learn not just how to confront the dragons, but how to overcome them.
Survival Through Sorcery: Summon a spectral axe to fell trees in an instant! Blink away from danger in a cloud of magic. Turn bones into... peaches? The Anima-rich landscape of Ashenfall offers a power unlike any other. Conjure a tornado of fish from a lake! Explode ore veins with a snap of your fingers! Journey through the vibrant regions of Ashenfall, discover why wild magic spills from the fractured lands and harness that power to survive!
Community Driven, Player Centric: Like all RuneScape games, community is at the heart of RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Whether players are adventuring with friends or going it alone, every opinion matters, and it's up to the community to help shape the future of our game.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds is currently available on Steam Early Access, and will launch its 1.0 version for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on 15th September, 2026, alongside its release on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 (and on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers for subscribers), and Xbox Series consoles.

Copenhagen, Denmark / Vienna, Austria - June 8th, 2026 | Japan, in the year 1600: warlords clash, alliances crumble, and the path to becoming Shogun is anything but tidy. Into this powder keg sails Expeditions: Samurai, a new historical RPG from Campfire Cabal and THQ Nordic, inviting players to choose their own path through history in a branching story shaped by life-or-death decisions. Campfire Cabal is a Copenhagen-based studio founded in 2022 and led by veterans behind the critically acclaimed Expeditions: Conquistador, Expeditions: Viking, and Expeditions: Rome.
In Expeditions: Samurai, the famous navigator William Adams never makes history as Japan’s first European Samurai, because this time, YOU get there first. Arriving aboard the Dutch frigate "De Albatros" as the newly elected leader of a ragtag crew of privateers, players are drawn into the final chapter of a brutal civil war where every choice can shape the fate of their crew and the future of Japan. With eight companions and eight personal stories to uncover, players can build bonds that grow into friendship, rivalry, or even romance. Every crewmate has their own story to uncover - if you manage to earn their trust.
Combat in Expeditions: Samurai is dynamic. It's fast-paced - and yet still turn-based! Blending simultaneous actions, stealth, gadgets, ambushes, and a broad mix of pirate and Japanese weaponry to an exciting tactical challenge for the players. And for the first time in series history, the adventure can also be played in drop-in/drop-out co-op - because navigating feudal Japanese politics alone is hard enough.
Expeditions: Samurai is coming to PC this Summer and will be available via Early Access.
Expeditions: Samurai is an expansive historical roleplaying game set in Japan during the turbulent years around 1600, where every choice can shape the fate of your crew and the country itself. Step into a richly branching adventure, forge your own path through feudal Japan, and earn your place in history. Navigate the politics, intrigue, and drama of feudal Japan as you and your crew catch the attention of powerful warlords whose struggle will determine the future of the nation — and eventually become the first European Samurai.
Master challenging turn-based combat and evolve your characters to become true masters of the battlefield.
Features:
Challenging, tactical turn-based combat that will put your skills to the test
Your Choice: Fight, talk or sneak yourself out of any situation!
Co-Op: Explore the wonders of Japan alone or with a friend
Equip your party with countless weapons and choose skills and upgrades that match your playstyle

The Aquarium is heading to PC and consoles, offering a relaxing game that combines an aquarist simulator with adventure and exploration of the underwater world. The player can catch rare fish specimens with their own hands and collect beautiful corals. Since May 13, everyone can check out the free demo of The Aquarium on PC. The game will be released in 2026 in Early Access on PC. Later on, The Aquarium will also be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The game is being developed by Eiwar Games, an independent studio from Turkey. The publisher of The Aquarium is Ultimate Games S.A.
Catch, breed, and admire the underwater world!
The Aquarium is a relaxing aquarium simulator with open-world exploration elements and the ability to collect rare fish specimens. The game allows players to explore rivers, lakes, and oceans, first by boat or water scooter, and then by diving underwater in search of aquatic wonders. In The Aquarium, you can catch fish with your own hands, which requires the right approach so as not to scare the creatures away. The caught specimens are then registered in a special FishDex catalog. It is also possible to collect corals and other underwater treasures.
Running and developing your aquariums is also an important part of the game. At home, you can arrange and decorate the space however you like. The player is, of course, also responsible for feeding and breeding the fish.
The game by Eiwar Games stands out for its elements related to the life of an aquarist. In the nearby village, you can trade and interact with residents and tourists. It is also worth taking care of your rest, especially since a shower and strong coffee can improve your character attributes for the next dive.
The Aquarium gets a free demo
A free demo of The Aquarium has been available on the Steam platform since May 13. Here, the player can test the main gameplay mechanics, including discovering fishing spots from a boat and catching fish by hand. The Aquarium Demo also lets you create your own aquariums with selected decorations and plants.
As Eiwar Games announces, players will find much more content in the full version, including completely new ecosystems and advanced mechanics, such as the ability to create new species. After the Early Access release on Steam, the title will be further developed, taking into account the community's feedback and ideas.
The Aquarium – Key Features:
Create wonderful aquariums;
Dive and explore the underwater world;
Catch rare fish specimens and collect corals;
Trade and manage your aquariums;
Take care of the fish.
The game will debut in 2026, first on PC in Early Access. Versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles are also planned.
Dubai, UAE — May 11, 2026 | Independent studio Rio Master announces Tame-a-goat-chi, a cozy desktop companion experience launching in Early Access on Steam on May 28, 2026. A playable demo is available now, and review copies (Steam keys) are currently available upon request. The studio also reveals a charming teaser offering a first look at the game’s expressive goat companions.
Designed to live alongside daily routines, the game introduces a herd of expressive goats that quietly share the player’s screen while working, studying, or relaxing.
As work, study, and entertainment increasingly share the same screen, Tame-a-goat-chi offers a companion experience designed to fit naturally into everyday desktop life. Inspired by the nostalgic charm of virtual pets, it reimagines that feeling for modern habits where small interactive worlds can exist alongside daily activity.
It sits comfortably within moments of work, study, or creative focus, allowing players to check in whenever they choose.
A Gentle Companion for Your Desktop
A small herd of goats appears on the lower part of the screen, creating a soft but living presence throughout the day. They wander, rest, and play while reacting to their surroundings, occasionally requiring care and attention.
The experience naturally shifts between calm observation and playful interaction depending on the moment, with each goat expressing its own personality, rhythm, and behavior. Some are calm and affectionate, while others are more playful or unpredictable. They respond differently to care, objects, food, and music, gradually revealing their individuality over time.
Care, Rewards and Growth
Taking care of goats generates rewards that allow players to expand their pasture over time. New goats, interactive objects, and environmental elements can be added as the world evolves.
Helpers can also be introduced to support daily tasks and maintain the farm’s growth.
Mini Games and Unexpected Events
Goats take part in playful mini games and light challenges that bring variety to daily interaction. Unexpected events can also occur, from spontaneous DJ goat dance parties (“Goat is a DJ”) to chaotic arrivals like Goatzilla, bringing humor and unpredictability to everyday life on the pasture.
Key Features
Desktop Companion Experience: A goat world that lives alongside daily screen use
Unique Goat Behavior: Each goat reacts differently to the player and environment
Care & Progression Loop: Care for goats to earn coins and expand the farm
Mini Games & Challenges: Light interactive gameplay moments with goats
Surprise Events: Unexpected playful or chaotic situations
Evolving Pasture: Expand with goats, objects, and helpers
About Rio Master
Rio Master is an independent game studio founded in 2023. The studio's experience in live service and player engagement mechanics now informs the reward loops in Tame-a-goat-chi, their first PC game.

The Core has gone Rogue. Deep Rock Galactic needs your help!
STORY
Expenite - a new mineral of incredible value and use has been discovered on planet Hoxxes! Space mining company Deep Rock Galactic immediately sets up covert mining operations deeper than ever, to harvest this precious material.
Suddenly and without warning - all the dig sites go dark, and all contact is abruptly lost. In this action-packed 1-4 player co-op roguelite, take on the role of a team of elite dwarven Reclaimers called to planet Hoxxes IV to deal with the situation.
Bring the lost dig sites back online, unravel the mystery of The Greyout, and keep it from happening again using all the guts, guns, and grit at your disposal. The Core has gone Rogue. DRG needs your help!
GAMEPLAY
Co-op Roguelite
Each Rogue Core mission begins with selecting your loadout - picking a Phase Suit equipped with an Active Ability of your choice, as well as one of a range of unique Reclaimer Weapons. Once loaded up, you board your Drop Pod and land at the outer boundary of a lost dig site, facing the Greyout Barrier surrounding it. Luckily, R&D has equipped you with a device capable of carving a hole through it, but once you go in, there is no way back except mission success. Proceed through the Barrier on foot and fight your way down multiple procedurally generated stages to the deepest and most dangerous level of the site.
During each stage, you will salvage caches of DRG equipment and weapons to expand your arsenal for that mission. The dig sites are also full of the wonder-mineral Expenite. Deposit any Expenite you can find into your trusty Processor Drone to generate a wide range of powerful temporary upgrades. Thus, as you progress ever deeper, your power will grow, but so will the challenge. Every little bit will be needed to make it through all the stages, reach the Core, and reclaim the dig site.
Between missions, you return to your ship - the RV-09 “Ramrod”, parked in low orbit above Hoxxes. By completing mission tasks and reclaiming dig sites, you will earn the means to research and permanently unlock new Reclaimer Weapons, Phase Suits, and Suit Mods. Expand your gear options and experiment with various setups to tackle the deepest and most dangerous dig sites.
Early Access - FAQ
How is DRG: Rogue Core different from Deep Rock Galactic?
The main difference is the roguelite game structure. In short, this means that you start each mission with only the most basic equipment, and you collect random upgrades, gear and abilities as you go. This makes for lots of variety in your build, and the potential for extremely powerful upgrades and synergies.
On top of that, the core gameplay has three main differences:
It's faster-paced. You’re under more pressure, and time is a resource you need to manage. Each level is on a mission timer, and you may not be able to complete every single side objective before your time runs out and you reach critical threat level.
It's harder and more intense. The baseline difficulty is more challenging. We’d say the game probably starts close to the 'Hazard 3' experience from Deep Rock Galactic, and it scales up from there.
There's more focus on combat. In Rogue Core, the cave generation is more linear. Where DRG had more focus on traversal and terrain modification, Rogue Core introduces fighting in and around industrial structures in the caves.
Is this Roguelike or Roguelite?
While ‘Roguelike’ is often used broadly for all kinds of games that have “runs”, “builds” and random upgrades, we deliberately use the term Roguelite to indicate that there will be a meta gameplay level with permanent character progression that carries over between missions.
What playable classes are there in Rogue Core?
In Rogue Core, you step into the boots of the Reclaimers — Deep Rock Galactic’s elite corporate security force. In early access launch, it features five playable Reclaimers:
GUARDIAN: The walking shield. An expert in area denial and close protection. Damages enemies with concussive blasts, and restores the team’s armor.
FALCONER: The aerial attacker. Deploys an airborne assault drone to electrify enemies, and in an emergency, can even revive teammates from afar.
RETCON: The fighting hologram. Capable of ‘warping’ back to a previous point in spacetime, restoring health and ammo to recover from dangerious situations. Lethal in all time zones.
SPOTTER: The marksman. Highlights and weakens targets with toxin darts, sees enemies through walls, and can deploy ammo for use in extended firefights.
SLICER: The melee class. Carries an energy blade capable of dismembering all but the toughest opponents. Mobile, agile, aggressive.
Do you have more classes planned in the future?
Yes! But we don’t know exactly what, or when.
Can the female dwarves have beards too?
Yes. They’re dwarves.
How long does an average run last?
Completing a mission (or ‘run’, as we call them) in Rogue Core usually takes around 45 to 50 minutes. Some can take longer than others. And of course, they can be shorter as well if you meet an untimely death.
Why isn’t Rogue Core just an expansion of Deep Rock Galactic?
There are two main reasons for this.
Rogue Core introduces a lot of new gameplay mechanics and progression systems. When we started working on Rogue Core as a prototype project, we quickly realized that we’d really have to dial down our scope and ambitions if we wanted it to all fit into Deep Rock Galactic. It’s been much more motivating (and fun) to explore new gameplay systems, art directions, weapons and damage mechanics when we don’t have to ‘justify’ or balance it with regular Deep Rock Galactic. If we tried to mash it into Deep Rock Galactic, we’d risk screwing up the balance, or diluting that game’s own identity.
You can’t do Early Access with a DLC. Early Access is a really important way for us to shape the game according to community feedback, and there’s no way to do that with DLC for an existing game. Deep Rock Galactic wouldn’t have been the success it is without a healthy Early Access run, so we wanted the same development experience with Rogue Core. For more of our thoughts and feelings about Early Access, check out the ‘Early Access’ section up above.
Will Rogue Core eventually come to consoles?
We hope so, but we’re not working on it right now. Our priority is running the early access version here on Steam, and bringing the game toward an eventual 1.0 launch. Perhaps one day though!
Will I get a discount on Rogue Core if I own Deep Rock Galactic?
Yes. We’ve made a Steam Bundle with the two games, so you’ll automatically get a “complete the Bundle” discount. Keep in mind that to get this, you need to buy the Rogue Core via the Bundle, rather than the standalone title.
When does the Early Access arrive?
The Rogue Core Early Access is out now on Steam!
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
We like community feedback. The best way to get in touch with us is through our Discord server, which is also where we organize regular playtests for fans and community members. All feedback, whether positive or negative, helps us steer our development process and ultimately make a better game.

Dubai, UAE — April 23, 2026 | Independent studio Rio Master today introduce Tame-a-goat-chi, a cozy companion experience built around a herd of charming virtual goats that naturally become part of your daily life. A brand-new trailer is available today, alongside a playable demo on Steam. The game will enter Early Access in Q2 2026.
A Gentle Companion on Your Half Screen
Tame-a-goat-chi brings adorable goats directly into your daily rhythm, gently appearing on the lower half of your screen while you work, study, or relax on your computer.
A small herd of cute, expressive goats settles into your workspace and slowly becomes part of your day. They wander, play, nap, and interact with their surroundings, creating a soft and comforting presence that is always nearby without ever demanding too much attention.
It is a peaceful little companion space that grows alongside your routine, offering small moments of warmth whenever you glance back.
Goats with Personality
Every goat is full of charm and individuality. Some are calm and sweet, others are playful troublemakers, and some simply enjoy attention. They react in their own way to care, toys, food, and music, slowly revealing personalities that feel warm and alive over time.
Spending time with them becomes a quiet joy, like getting to know a growing family of tiny companions, each with their own charm and personality.
A Cozy Companion for Modern Life
Virtual pet experiences carry a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of growing up with early digital companions like Tamagotchi. Today, they naturally fit into modern daily life, from home office work to study sessions and quiet breaks at the computer.
These gentle companions sit at the edge of attention, offering a calming presence that makes focus feel lighter and breaks more enjoyable.
Care, Rewards and Your Growing Farm
Taking care of your goats naturally brings gentle rewards that help your pasture grow over time. You can welcome new goats, add toys and playful structures, and expand your little farm into a lively and heartwarming space. Caring assistants can also join your pasture to help keep everything running smoothly, allowing your herd to thrive at its own pace.
Everything grows naturally, shaped by attention, affection, and time spent together.
Mini Games and Unexpected Events
Your goats love to take part in fun mini games and lighthearted challenges, creating moments of playful fun and relaxed, playful competition in the pasture. At times, the pasture bursts into unexpected moments of celebration, like a spontaneous fiesta where a goat takes over as DJ because “Goat is a DJ”, filling the farm with music, dancing, and joyful chaos.
These playful events bring energy, laughter, and variety to everyday life with your herd.
Key Features
Cozy Lower-Half Screen Pasture: A calm goat world that becomes part of your everyday screen space
Unique Goat Personalities: Every goat behaves in its own unique way
Care & Rewards Loop: Care for goats to earn coins and grow your farm

March 3rd, 2026 | Warsaw Poland - Untold Tales, Sneaky Box and Kautki Cave have announced that Chickenauts - the indie roguelite shooter - is out now on Steam Early Access.
Originally, the game was planned to launch on March 5th, but then a whole bunch of massive games decided they wanted to do the same, so we collectively said "Yeah cluck that.", chickened out and moved it to March 3rd.
Chickenauts is a companion-based, action roguelike where you will blast your way through a massive, randomized alien mothership with an assortment of lethal, mutated chicken companions at your side.
The game is available for 5.99 USD / 5.99 EUR / 5.49 GBP / 24.99 PLN along with an additional 20% off for the first 14 days.
Bringing A Mother Clucking A-Bomb to a Knife Fight
While teaching alien scum a lesson or two, you’ll free, arm, and mutate various chicken companions, equally hell-bent on revenge and destruction. Each chicken companion is inspired by pop-cultural icons and brings very different traits and abilities.
With multiple, stacking mutations to pick from along the way, you will create overpowered, game-breaking chickens of mass destruction on each run.
Egg-citingly and Unpredictable Runs
Every run brings something different. Fast and varied runs deliver short but intense sessions made up of compact, randomized rooms that take under a minute to clear.
You’ll face multiple chicken abomination enemy types and bosses, ensuring no encounter is the same. Rooms, enemy spawns, plus all mutations, upgrades, and loot drops are all randomized, so each run is unpredictable and encourages experimentation.
But failure doesn’t mean total defeat. Collected eggs, weapons, and unlocked companions all carry over when you go again.
Game Features
Short but intense rounds. Each room takes under a minute to clear.
A collection of pop culture-inspired companions with different abilities
Mutate companions with randomized, stacking abilities on each run.
Multiple enemies and boss types

Helsinki, Finland – 19 February, 2026 | Finnish indie studio Lohkare Games Oy has released a new teaser trailer for Last Drop, a story driven open world game set in 1994 Finland. Inspired by real events and personal memories, it follows a flawed anti hero navigating a local suburban world shaped by the gray atmosphere of the period.
Last Drop is the studio’s first game, built from the ground up as a personal project set in 1990s Finland. The team set out to create a world that truly feels Finnish. The entire map is hand built, shaped around small towns, quiet suburbs, forests, lakes and long rural roads that feel lived in rather than designed. For Finnish players it feels like home. For players around the world, it offers a side of the open world rarely seen in games.
That grounded approach extends to how the game is played. Last Drop aims to bring back a slower sense of adventure often missing from modern titles. There is no minimap and no pressure to rush. Players can explore freely while developing basic character stats that directly affect combat.
Combat is built around a system inspired by classic fighting games, giving encounters a more hands on and physical feel. NPCs react to player behavior in real time. If you provoke someone, they may fight back, run away, or call friends for help. The main characters are performed by Finnish film actors, adding authenticity to the story.
An Early Access launch is planned for late Q1 or early Q2 on PC via Steam, marking the beginning of an evolving world the team plans to expand over time.
Players are invited to wishlist the game and join the journey as the world of Last Drop continues to grow.
