InEv Games has announced the upcoming release of Kardiya: The Winds of Fate. Blending tabletop roleplaying mechanics with deep storytelling, Kardiya is a Rogue-lite RPG Dicebuilding game built around an emergent narrative. As of today, the official Steam Page is live, and wishlists are open.

Kardiya: The Winds of Fate is a highly replayable Rogue-lite adventure directly inspired by the acclaimed FATE RPG system. Players take on the role of Ukral, navigating through the lands of Gaia. The journey involves gathering gear, managing companions, and inevitably falling in battle. Death is only a transition, however. Upon defeat, Ukral awakens in a mysterious realm between life and death, ready to use newfound knowledge to dive back in and search for the elusive Winds of Fate.

InEv Games is deeply committed to crafting narrative focused experiences. Players who explored the narrative of the studio’s previous release, Livber: Smoke and Mirrors will find that same dedication to deep lore, atmospheric world-building, and compelling character arcs woven into the fabric of this game.

Kardiya delivers clean, familiar RPG elements where the environment genuinely reacts to the player’s actions. Failure is not a dead end; a bad roll simply pushes the story in a new, unexpected direction.

Arknights: Endfield Announces First Major Content Update Releasing on March 12, 2026

GRYPHLINE announced today that the first major content expansion for its popular 3D Industrial RPG, Arknights: Endfield, will be available as a free download for all players starting March 12, 2026. Version 1.1, titled ‘Old Deep Water Dies, by Rising Tide It is Denied,’ features a wave of substantial additions and updates to the base experience, signifying GRYPHLINE’s commitment to listening to community feedback and delivering consistent, high-quality content iterations.
 

The first major update follows a launch window that has surpassed internal projections. As Producer Light Zhong noted:
 

Arknights: Endfield’s global player count, playtime, and in-game activity levels have all greatly exceeded our expectations,’ and Version 1.1 serves as a direct response to the community’s rapid engagement.

Watch the Old Deep Water Dies, by Rising Tide It is Denied Announcement Trailer
 

Version 1.1 introduces new content, player rewards, and community-driven optimizations. Notable features and changes include: 
 

New Content:

Several additional operators will be added alongside an expansion of the evolving AIC system via the new hydro-industrialization system. 

  • New Operators:
    • Tangtang (6-star Caster): Described as a “one-girl team,” Tangtang is specialized in AOE Cryo damage and support. Her Ultimate, DA CHIEF SEES YOU! introduces a powerful new tactical layer by immobilizing all enemies within its range – including bosses – allowing her squads to create decisive damage windows.
    • Rossi (6-star Guard): The only operator currently capable of converting Arts Infliction on enemies into Vulnerability (defense break). This specialized mechanic positions her as a vital force multiplier for Physical-focused squads, as she shreds enemy defenses to facilitate massive damage output from the team’s primary carries.
  • Hydro-industrialization:
    • New tech: The Hydro Mining Rig allows players to mine Cuprium, a new industrial resource that uses water flow instead of electricity. Unlike existing facilities, Hydro Mining Rigs harness water flow to automate mineral collection, requiring no connection to the power grid.
    • New logistics: New Conduits for long-distance liquid transport and Water Treatment Units for processing sewage.
    • Forges of the Sky Expansion: Placement limit for Forges of the Sky increased to four units, significantly raising the production ceiling for endgame resources.
  • World & Story Expansions:
    • New Wuling area: Qingbo Stockade
    • Story: The Endministrator can investigate the Qingbo Stockade, where tensions with Wuling City are boiling over due to the arrival of Nefarith and Ardashir. 

Player Rewards & Progression:  

In addition to the launch window offering of 135 free pulls, player rewards will now be supplemented by:

  • New Beginner Support: After reaching specific milestones in Chapter 1, players will receive a new beginner mission reward totalling 10 Chartered Headhunting Permits. Endministrators who have already completed these requirements can claim their rewards directly from the event page upon the update.
  • Sign-in Events: “Gently Flows Qingbo” and “Pearl of the Pack” (7-day logins) for limited-time permits.
  • Battle Pass Update: The Protocol Pass now allows for periodic acquisition of Basic Headhunting Permits.
  • Limited-time Activities: 
    • Exploration Day: Farming at Originium Science Park.
    • Survival Training: Try a different take on combat using only Industrial Explosives!
  • Systemic Rewards: AIC Quota acquisition has been expanded, with players now receiving Quotas for obtaining 4, 5, and 6-star operators for the first time. For operators acquired prior to the update, the corresponding Quotas will be distributed via in-game mail.
  • Advanced Gear Optimization: The introduction of the Valley Multi-Line Engraving Kit – available through the Stock Redistribution system – allows players to create Essences with three customized stats. This provides a high-level path for Endministrators to optimize endgame weapon builds and reduce RNG friction.

Community-driven Optimizations: 

Following launch feedback, Version 1.1 introduces sweeping improvements to the user experience, particularly for controller players.

  • Construction Precision: The buffer range for power lines has been extended to 20m (100m total), and connection will no longer snap during dialogue or combat triggers. Controller users can also now move facilities by long-pressing a dedicated button.
  • Exploration HUD: A new feature allows the minimap and game map to be accessed while using ziplines, improving navigation across the vertical terrain of Qingbo Stockade.
  • Combat Ready: Operators now enter Protocol Spaces with maximum HP and Ultimate Energy. Additionally, the Red Flash enemy attack telegraphs have been re-tuned for better visibility during chaotic encounters. 

The expansion of Talos-II will continue at an even larger scale in Version 1.2. The upcoming narrative arc will see the Endministrator join forces with Tianshi Zhuang to defend the Xiranite Dam against a sudden siege by Ardashir. This future update will introduce two new maps, an outpost, and a new fluid-based production system for the AIC Factory.
 

Arknights: Endfield is a free-to-play title with cross-platform progression and serves as the latest entry in the popular Arknights universe, a franchise that has exceeded 100 million downloads to date. This launch marks the first time the IP has expanded beyond mobile, bringing its signature strategic depth to console and PC. Arknights: Endfield introduces a new frontier storyline and a world built around exploration, real-time combat, and base-building. Players command squads of up to four Operators, combining skills, elemental synergies, and coordinated tactics across fast-paced encounters. 
 

Arknights: Endfield leverages the latest graphical technologies, including native 120 FPS support, realistic snow-stepping, environmental puddle reflections, and more. Players can also toggle NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation independently. The title includes plug-and-play support on PC and mobile for both PlayStation (DualSense & DualShock) and Xbox controllers with haptic feedback for a premium, tactile experience. 
 

Arknights: Endfield launched globally on PS5, PC (via the official launcher and Epic Games Store), and mobile devices (via Apple App Store and Google Play Store) on Jan. 22, 2026. It has been rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB. To learn more about the game visit the official website and X. For more information about GRYPHLINE, please visit the official company site.

NHN Launches Collection RPG Abyssdia Globally

NHN (CEO: Woojin Jung) announced today the official global launch of highly anticipated collection RPG Abyssdia, developed by Ring Games. Now available in North America and other global markets, the game invites players into a stylized, high-stakes adventure to restore a world consumed by a mysterious dark void.

Set against the backdrop of the ‘Abyss Fissure’—a phenomenon that has contaminated the world with distorted energy—Abyssdia casts players as a ‘Tuner’. As the only ones capable of recalibrating the world’s unstable frequencies, Tuners must lead a squad of elite warriors known as ‘Vanguards’ to restore balance and reclaim peace.

At the heart of Abyssdia is its Chained Action Combat, a 4-player real-time system emphasizing elemental synergies and seamless skill combinations. Success on the battlefield depends on the player’s ability to strategically pair Vanguards based on their unique weapon styles and hidden skill triggers.

Beyond the combat, the game focuses heavily on emotional immersion. Each Vanguard features a deeply personal narrative brought to life through cinematic cutscenes and character-specific musical themes. A standout feature is the ‘Let’s Eat Together’ system, a high-fidelity interactive mode where players bond with their Vanguards over their favorite meals. This system replaces traditional stat-grinding with meaningful character interactions, allowing players to witness the evolving emotions and expressions of their team.

To celebrate the global debut, NHN is offering a massive rewards package for all new players. Anyone who logs in during the launch period will receive the SR-rank character ‘Elena’ for free, along with essential growth materials including 1,400 EST, 10,000 Manarings, 10 Draw Tickets and 100 EXP Potions.

The celebration continues with a series of limited-time events designed to accelerate player progression. Through March 23, a special Global Launch Login Bonus will reward players who log in for 10 days with a total of 20 Premium Draw Tickets and 20 Draw Tickets.

Players can also dive into the ‘Endless Rabbit’ Story Quest, available until March 17, which highlights the narrative of the fan-favorite character, Rachel. By completing these dedicated story missions, players can collect exclusive event currency to exchange for premium growth materials and Vanguard Gift Boxes in the event shop.

Furthermore, a set of Progressive Missions running through May 7 will offer a steady stream of rewards, including EST, Stamina Potions, and Draw Tickets, as players reach key gameplay milestones.

Abyssdia is now available for free on the Google Play, App Store, and Google Play Games (PC).

KOEI TECMO’s new dark samurai action RPG Nioh 3 Now Available on Steam & PS5

KOEI TECMO America and developer Team NINJA summon aspiring shoguns to enter the gates of hell and conquer the Crucible in Nioh 3, their new dark samurai action RPG, now available on PlayStation®5 and Windows PC via Steam®. To celebrate, a new action-packed trailer has been released, giving players a taste of the immense challenges they will face against a non-stop array of deadly foes.
 
In Nioh 3, players take on the role of Tokugawa Takechiyo, poised to become the next shogun during Japan’s prosperous Edo period. In the shadows, Takechiyo’s younger brother, Tokugawa Kunimatsu, is consumed by jealousy. Empowered by a sinister force, he plots to overthrow Takechiyo and leads a horde of yokai, abruptly ending the era of peace and plunging Japan into hell. Guided by the mysterious power of their Guardian Spirit Kusanagi, Takechiyo transcends time to rescue a land in dire straits and become shogun.


Watch the Launch Trailer on YouTube
 

The story of Nioh 3 unfolds on a larger scale than ever before in series history. Covering various eras and regions, including Edo Castle, the Totomi region during the Warring States period, the Heian period’s capital city of Kyoto, and, for the first time in the franchise’s history, the Bakumatsu period. Players will be able to freely explore each era as a vast open field featuring beautiful and distinct environments.
 
Nioh 3 introduces two distinct combat styles, Samurai and Ninja, that players can freely switch between during the heat of battle. The Samurai Style captures Nioh’s foundational, grounded combat experience, while introducing the new Arts Proficiency system to enhance Martial Arts abilities. In addition, a new Deflect mechanic allows players to block attacks at the last moment to turn the tide of battle against deadly adversaries.
 
In contrast to Samurai Style, Ninja Style excels in agility, enabling players to swiftly dodge and perform aerial attacks while employing various Ninjutsu techniques to attack outside of enemy range. Ninja Style also features the Mist technique, which leaves an afterimage following an attack to momentarily distract enemies, as well as the Evade technique to narrowly avoid enemy strikes. Both techniques will help players outmaneuver foes while delivering devastating swift attacks from behind.
 
Before launching into the full game, players have the opportunity to hone their skills in the free demo, which includes both solo play and online multiplayer mode for up to three players across both PS5 and PC via Steam®*.  Fans can create their own custom character and dive into the turbulent Warring States period, even testing their abilities in an electrifying boss fight against Jakotsu-baba, with save data carrying over. Players who complete the demo by Feb. 15, 2026, will receive the in-game bonus item Twin-Snake Helmet, which can be used in the complete version of the game**. More details about the demo are available on the official website.
 

Players can purchase the game now with a variety of editions available. The Standard Edition features the base game, while the Digital Deluxe Edition features exclusive in-game items and a Season Pass*** that includes access to two DLCs to be released in the future. A physical SteelBook® Launch Edition is also available with an exclusive premium metal case for the game. All versions of the game come with an early purchase bonus**** which can be redeemed from the PlayStation™ Store and Steam®, available for a limited time after the game is released.
 
Players can also order a special PS5 physical edition exclusively through the NIS America Store. The Nioh 3 TREASURE BOX includes the base game, a Scampuss Furball Netsuke Charm Keychain, a Nioh 3 Original Desk Pad, the Official Artbook, and a Nioh 3 Selection Soundtrack CD.
 
Nioh 3 is now available on PS5 and Windows PC via Steam®. The game will include Japanese and English voices with texts in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.

**** The Early Purchase Bonus Hellfrost Armor set will be available to redeem in-game until Feb. 20, 2026.

Systemic Open-World RPG game Sword Hero Kickstarter now live

The Kickstarter campaign for Sword Hero is now live. Developed by solo creator ForestWare and supported by Crytivo, this game is a third-person open-world RPG focused on systemic design, player agency, and immersion-first gameplay inspired by early 2000s genre classics.

The campaign supports final stages of development, including expanded content, production polish, and additional artistic support, while maintaining a design philosophy that avoids level scaling, invisible barriers, and heavy-handed guidance.

Watch the Official Kickstarter trailer here

Sword Hero takes place on the quarantined island of Wes, part of a long-abandoned Ringworld shaped by fragile political truces, hostile factions, and ancient threats buried beneath the surface. Players assume the role of the Delver, a character without status, prophecy, or narrative protection. The world does not adapt to the player, and survival depends on understanding how its systems interact.

The entire world is seamless and explorable from the outset. Interiors, caves, and dungeons exist within the same space. Enemies remain fixed parts of the ecosystem, NPCs follow persistent daily routines informed by memory and observation, and events continue to unfold whether the player is present or not.DESIGN APPROACH

Sword Hero is built around simulation-driven systems rather than scripted encounters. Combat is directional and limb-based, with individual body parts tracking armor, damage, and debuffs. Disabling an enemy or exploiting the environment is often more effective than defeating them outright. Environmental hazards, positioning, and verticality play a central role in encounters.

Character progression is permanent and visually reflected through scars, physique changes, prosthetics, mutations, and magical alterations that persist throughout the game.

AT A GLANCE :

• Seamless open world with no invisible walls or level scaling

• Systemic gameplay including weather, fire propagation, crime, routines, and persistent consequences

• Directional, limb-based combat with dismemberment and targeted disabling

• Colossal creatures designed around physical interaction and exposed weak points

• Player-owned housing and businesses with full item placement

• Visible, permanent character progression tied to player decisions

Fantasy Extraction-RPG Eldegarde is Out Now on PC, features New PvE Mode

Eldegarde has been created by Notorious Studios, a team composed mostly of Blizzard veterans and led by former World of Warcraft Game Designer Chris Kaleiki.


Eldegarde is a game that raises the bar on so many stagnant RPG systems like class design, combat, PvP and progression found in many RPGs and MMOs” said Chris Kaleiki, Founder of Notorious Studios. “Extraction has really taken off recently with Arc RaidersEldegarde is really the Fantasy RPG version of that experience, so we feel it has a ton of potential. This genre is still very much in its infancy.”


Eldegarde is available now on Steam priced at $24.99 / €24.99 / £21.99.

London (October 23, 2024) Today, Monster Hunter Wilds™ producer Ryozo Tsujimoto unveiled the latest trailer for the highly anticipated action RPG as well as details on an upcoming Open Beta Test during Capcom’s October Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase. The new footage revealed the captivating surroundings and inhabitants of the new Oilwell Basin ecosystem, including the mysterious monster known as the “Black Flame,” even more new monsters living within the region, and the local craftsman village Azuz. Tsujimoto followed these new game details with the announcement of an Open Beta Test taking place next week across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The Open Beta Test will run November 1 – November 4 (GMT), and PlayStation®Plus subscribers can get a head start on PlayStation 5 with an exclusive early access period starting on October 29 (GMT).

Ready to Combust
The Oilwell Basin is a dangerous territory defined by the bubbling oil wells for which it is named. This terrain is known to erupt into raging flames during a period of Inclemency known as the Firespring. The newly revealed Brute Wyvern Rompopolo prowls within areas blanketed in a deep oil silt. This fearsome predator expels a toxic gas from its tongue to weaken its prey before using its tail to inject gas into the tar blanketing the ground causing bubbling eruptions. Rompopolo often finds itself battling for territory against roaming Ajarakan, another previously unseen monster that calls this region home. This red-hot Fanged Beast rubs its thick shell to cover itself in a sweltering armor. Amidst this incredibly harsh, ever-changing environment, the skilled craftsman village of Azuz grew around a massive central forge. While the local artisans and fearsome wildlife struggle to survive, a mysterious monster known to locals as the “Black Flame” lurks deep beneath the basin.

The Open Beta Test will include three separate experiences: the complete character creation tool with character creation data that will be transferable to the full game upon release, a Story Trial, and the free-roaming Doshaguma Hunt. In the Story Trial, players can experience the opening cutscene of the game along with basic tutorials while hunting a Chatacabra, while in the Doshaguma Hunt, players can pursue the Alpha of a Doshaguma pack or explore the Windward Plains. Both the Story Trial and Doshaguma Hunt can be experienced solo, or players can use an SOS flare to create  a party of up to four players online, or call in assistance from NPC Support Hunters.
