🐙 Darwin's Paradox is out, a paradoxically clever octopus named Darwin must get home and stop an alien invasion. BADASS
ZDT Studio, with support from Konami, launched a stealth‑platformer: Darwin is kidnapped and dumped in a filthy junkyard by a factory, so you'll sneak, solve puzzles and unlock new areas. Available on PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2; no Russian localization. Demo is playable before purchase.
⚡️The Dead by Daylight team says the new killer's prototype is nearly playable, further tweaks will be driven by testing and player feedback.
At the heart of the kit is the "Sin" system: rather than passive gain, Sin now builds when the killer lands hits on survivors, making it more skill-dependent for both sides. Sin fuels Ray of Retribution, a vertical beam the killer can aim and fire; it blends area control with pinpoint pressure. The ability has gone through several iterations and remains subject to change.

An early open BETA for Hearts of Iron IV went live a day early, released Thursday instead of the typical Friday, per designer Zwirbaum. The holiday timing cut testing time, so the patch may need quick follow-ups and the devs are asking for active feedback.
This build focuses on submarines: detection and stealth systems are being tuned so subs aren't either OP or useless. The team is also reworking unit specializations vs generalists, and community input will shape the next adjustments, test it and report back. ⚓

Devs noticed players want these moods to stick around, in the next Hunter/Prey phase Nightfall bits (including VL-7 Smoke and the night mode) will land in Portal, so they can be used outside limited events. The team is monitoring feedback and is considering bringing these features back or folding them into permanent systems to broaden gameplay variety and give players more room to experiment.

Every expedition tightens the pressure and forces ruthless decisions.
