Moonlighter’s ‘Between Dimensions’ DLC Hits PC

The largest expansion for Moonlighter launches today, called Between Dimensions. This DLC lets players delve into the new Interdimensional Dungeon, while also filling current dungeons with new creatures to battle. A host of new weapons, armor, shop items, and rings also come with this update. After a time of turmoil, Rynoka is once again at peace, thanks to the hero-merchant Will.

Big Drunk Satanic Massacre Arrives in September

BDSM: Big Drunk Satanic Massacre is going to hit PC and Consoles this September, and will feature Satan’s beloved son, Lou. Lou will blast his way through waves of traitors to prevent hell from being overrun by humans. Lou will drink milk to get ready to demolish more of his foes, as it is his cure-all super fuel. This satirical Action RPG hits the scene on September 26th, and there is a ton of action and humor awaiting as Lou unleashes hell on the poor humans unfortunate enough to be in his way.

“We’re going completely over-the-top with BDSM,” said Big Way CEO, Konstantin Semenov. “When you put players in control of Satan’s son, you have to pull out all the stops, and that’s just what we’re doing — giving them a relentless hellfire-fueled thrill ride of guns, gore, and plenty of humor.”

Tribes of Midgard Begins First Open Beta This Weekend

Though Tribes of Midgard will not launch onto PC and Console until 2020, PC gamers can join the first Open Beta for it this weekend. Starting on July 26th (3 PM ET) until July 28th (11:59 PM ET), Norsfell comes to life. The Asgardian Gods and Giants are battling endlessly, and the Giants, fed up with the deception of the Gods, have decided to invade Asgard. However, the Giants must pass through the realm of the Vikings to get there, and Ragnarok has officially begun. However, Viking warriors will do their best to defend the seeds of Yggdrasil, that binds the realms together and protects the gods.

Players will customize a character, form a tribe, and defend/explore procedurally generated worlds, filled with mythical resources and creatures. Villages must be defended at night from the legions of Hel, and also prepare for the arrival of the mighty Giants. This beta can be found on Steam for free.

“There’s a beauty to the concept of Ragnarök, and we wanted to create a game where players could experience this deadly battle from a human perspective,” said Julian Maroda, CEO and Creative Director for Norsfell. “Tribes of Midgard highlights the tenacity of humans in the face of guaranteed doom.”

Vane is Now Available on Steam

Friend & Foe release their game, that comes after more than four years in development on Steam, with Vane. Available for 19.99, it also has a 10% launch discount, and a soundtrack on Steam and Bandcamp for 6.99. Vane is set in a ruined desert, where players will transform between a bird and child form to unravel great mysteries. This land is filled with ominous caves, mysterious machinery, and terrifying storms to endure. The PC release of Vane also has the updates added to the PS4 release, from more forgiving checkpoints, increased performance and bug fixes.

“Vane represents the fruits of our labor for nearly half a decade and we’re thrilled to bring it to a platform as globally popular as PC,” said art director Rasmus Deguchi. “Since Vane contains no words whatsoever, it can be understood universally across all cultures and languages. We recognize that its abstract approach to storytelling won’t be for everyone, and that’s okay. It’s the game we set out to make and we’re very proud of how it came together in the end. We hope PC players appreciate our vision.”
