In Islantiles, you’ll start with a single humble island and work to transform it into a bustling settlement through clever planning and smart use of your cards. As you expand, you’ll unlock powerful technologies that don’t just improve your deck—they rewrite the rules. Each tech card can alter how tiles interact, how you earn points, and even how your strategies evolve, creating endless opportunities for creative problem-solving.

Every island brings new challenges, and with procedurally generated runs, no two playthroughs will ever be the same. Whether you’re optimizing for the perfect score or experimenting with wild tech combos, Islantiles rewards both precision and playful experimentation.

Key Features:

• A unique fusion of city puzzler and deckbuilder mechanics.

• Cozy yet strategic roguelike gameplay.

• Hundreds of technology cards that transform the rules in surprising ways.

• Six difficulty settings for all player types.

• 100 handcrafted islands to explore and expand.

• Leaderboards and highscores to track your best runs.

• Endless replayability—no two islands are ever the same.

The public demo is available now on Steam, giving players a chance to experiment with powerful tech synergies and discover how far their settlements can grow before the full release in 2026.

Set to launch via Steam Early Access in 2026, Frostrail is a first-person, open-world survival crafting game set in a frigid world overrun by unspeakable horrors—and your only hope for survival is a massive, upgradeable train.

Survive the Frost, Fear the Revenants
The icy tundra you’ll explore in Frostrail is both hauntingly beautiful and utterly unforgiving. As a lone pilgrim (or with up to three other survivors in 4-player online co-op), you’ll board a colossal locomotive powered by the mysterious Eden Engine—your lifeline in a world of frostbite and fear. Venture into snow-blanketed ruins and dungeon-like remnants of civilization to gather vital resources… but don’t stray too far. The cold isn’t just a threat—it’s a killer.

Oh, and did we mention the Revenants? These twisted, Lovecraftian monstrosities are far from your average survival game baddies. Get ready for intense FPS combat as you defend your train—and your life—from their unrelenting assault.

Key Features of Frostrail:

• Survive the Ice – Brave a frozen open world where the elements are just as deadly as the creatures.

• Your Train is Your Lifeline – Upgrade your mobile base, craft gear, and use the Eden Engine to stay alive.

• FPS Combat vs. Horrors – Battle terrifying Revenants and towering bosses in fast-paced, strategic gunfights.

• Explore & Craft – Scavenge dungeons and ruins for parts, build tools, and improve your survival odds.

• Co-Op Carnage – Join forces with up to three other players online to stand a better chance against the frozen unknown.

Step into the dangerous world of Frostrail as a pilgrim of a new order, says Lead Designer Ez Jämsen. “Embark on a desperate journey where the threats are high, but the experience is unforgettable.”

With full language support including English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese, Frostrail is aiming to deliver a global survival horror experience when it hits Early Access in 2026.

Until then, stock up on supplies and wishlist the game on Steam. This train waits for no one.

Set in the beautifully crafted world of Mithrigarde, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery offers a fresh take on the Extraction genre, combining deep role-playing elements with intense team-based competition. Whether you’re wielding massive weapons as a warrior, slipping through the shadows as a rogue, or unleashing devastating spells as a magic user, this is the multiplayer fantasy experience players have been waiting for.

Choose Your Path: Survive, Loot, and Fight
Players can venture solo, team up in squads of up to three, or assemble their own adventuring parties to explore Mithrigarde. But survival isn’t just about combat.

• Treasure Hunts: Recover forgotten artifacts and scavenge valuable supplies.
• Risk and Reward: Make it back to your base with your loot intact, or lose it all to monsters or rival teams.
• Dynamic Encounters: Navigate a kingdom teeming with ogres, beasts, and other plunder-hungry adventurers.

Each decision could mean the difference between becoming the hunter or the hunted in this unforgiving world.

A Fantasy World Born from Industry Veterans
Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is the brainchild of a team with 14 years of experience working on World of Warcraft. Leaving Blizzard to create their own vision, they began developing Legacy long before the rise of the Extraction genre, focusing on looting, leveling, and exploration alongside tactical PvP combat.

The result is a game that feels both familiar and groundbreaking, with a world that invites players to lose themselves in its depth.

Early Access and the Road Ahead
Following multiple successful alpha tests, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery will launch into Early Access for $24.99. Early adopters will play a pivotal role in shaping the game’s future, as the team integrates feedback to refine balance and introduce new features.

Planned updates include:

• New classes like the Wizard and Paladin
• Additional maps and challenges
• Evolving game meta and mechanics

Your Adventure Begins Soon
Whether you’re a lone wolf or a team player, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is your chance to immerse yourself in a high-stakes fantasy world where every battle and decision counts.
