<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Scent Weaver Sage, Renewed Memories, and Modularization feature in SS12 Lunaria</em></h2>



<p><strong>Shanghai, China </strong>—<strong> April 10, 2026 </strong>| XD Games is excited to reveal details on the upcoming <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em> season – SS12 Lunaria – beginning on 16 April worldwide on PC and mobile, in the run up to <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em>’s third anniversary.&nbsp;</p>



<p><em>Watch the Torchlight: Infinite Season Preview below:</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="KEnNJp_yyro"><iframe title="Scent Weaver Sage, Modularization, Lunaria Mechanic &amp; MORE! | Torchlight: Infinite Season Preview" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KEnNJp_yyro?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>The new seasonal mechanic, Lunaria, is among the biggest additions to <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em>, bringing a new farming loop to the game. Lunar Stone Statues have appeared all across Netherrealm, ready to be woken up by Lunar Ring-wielding players looking to take on Lunari creatures. Once defeated, these creatures drop loot and energy that can be used to awaken other Lunar Stone Statues.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Randomly triggered Lunar Omens and Rhapsodies can also greatly affect these encounters. For example, Lunar Radiance sees a golden statue pop up on the map that, when awoken, brings forth a monster that drops substantially greater loot when defeated; Moonlit Revival transforms all Lunari creatures back into statues; and the Lunar Harp no longer consumes energy if the Moonrise rhapsody is activated. <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em> players can learn more about the specifics of the Lunaria mechanic – and everything within SS12 – in the <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em> Season Preview livestream, which aired today.</p>



<p><em>Watch the Lunaria Official Launch Trailer below:</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="ddjdrCY7TYI"><iframe title="Lunaria Official Launch Trailer | Torchlight: Infinite" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ddjdrCY7TYI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>A permanent addition to <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em> — making its debut at this new season’s launch — is the Creation Engine. Found dotted around the map, Creation Engines are machines guarded by Creation Sentries, which players can defeat for big rewards. Once all enemies have been dealt with, nearby Creation Crystals will transform into top quality loot, like the Path of the Brave-exclusive Fluorescent Memory, the legendary chest armour Silent Avowal, or mystery elixir skill Fluorescent Memory.</p>



<p>Loot from Creation Engines can also be manipulated via Netherrealm Talents, should players invest. While modest investment turns Creation Engines into buff dispensers, greater investment offers two options: Whimsical Creation Crystal, which increases the loot pool by matching two identical crystals; alternatively, these machines can produce Gold Creation Crystals that chain-activate every crystal within the Creation Engine.&nbsp;</p>



<p><em>Watch the Sage: The Scent Weaver Arrives trailer below:</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="jdqqX7LQOAQ"><iframe title="Sage: The Scent Weaver Arrives | Lunaria Season Trailer" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jdqqX7LQOAQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>The newest hero joining <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em> is Scent Weaver Sage. She is an elixir-based healer, uniquely adjusting her recipes mid-fight. For instance, she can add rare defensive stats, like Injury Buffer or Convert Physical Damage to Random Elemental Damage, to her elixirs — two affixes that don’t often appear on gear. Players can even set up their Sage so that critical strikes, reaping, and movement will automatically generate elixir charges.</p>



<p>Additionally, there are two paths players can specialise Sage in. Firstly, there is the Scholar route, which maxes life and mana, converting base stats in amplified elixir effects. The second option is the Mad Scientist route, which allows players to carry an extra offensive flask.</p>



<p>As part of Sage’s introduction, the potion system is being overhauled, becoming its own skill type: Elixir Skills. Unlike standard skills that incorporate mana and cooldown, Elixir Skills run on charge points. There are now three categories of elixir: Tonics for life and mana, Dews for single-stat boosts, and Distillates that contain complex composite effects.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="B2TGNM9uPrw"><iframe title="&quot;Lunaria&quot; Season Teaser | Torchlight: Infinite" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B2TGNM9uPrw?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>In Lunaria, players will be able to get to grips with a new progression system called Renewed Memories, which makes big changes to traits. Building upon the established Hero Memories system, Renewed Memories introduces Revival – a new crafting method that unlocks a power within those memories. These powers include Wax and Wave, which increases base value affixes; Rising Moon, which elevates the fixed affix tier; Lunar Ring, which expands the Memory with a set of powerful random affixes; and Young Moon, which adds an extra powerful hero trait affix on Ultimate Memories.</p>



<p>Another addition to <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em> is Modularization. This new summon system allows players to generate a copy of a recently defeated boss, turning them from foe to friend on the battlefield for a limited time. While not a direct copy of any given monster, modularized replicas take on a crucial portion of a defeated enemy’s abilities. Twenty boss monsters are available for Modularization at the beginning of SS12 Lunaria, with more scheduled for future seasons. &nbsp;</p>



<p>To celebrate <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em>’s third anniversary, a limited-time anniversary event kicks off on 16 April — the Midas Touch. Players can complete objectives to earn draws, and spin for rewards such as Pactspirit Crystals, Jagged Primocrysts, and a chance at this year&#8217;s anniversary commemorative gold note, designed by the Torchlight team.</p>



<p>For a full breakdown of everything new to <em>Torchlight: Infinite</em> during Lunaria, new legendary gear, gameplay optimisations, grafting adjustments and more, watch the SS12 Season Preview or check out the full <a href="https://torchlight.xd.com/us/news/single?id=8t9xbvgnO52x" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patch notes</a> on the official website.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Raise an army, break the game, and finally get revenge on your own body in this fast-paced auto-battler roguelite from 8BitSkull</em></h2>



<p><strong>Edinburgh, Scotland (April 10, 2026)</strong> <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3199360/Skull_Horde/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Skull Horde</em></a>, the new auto-battler dungeon crawler from developer 8BitSkull, is out now on PC via Steam with Steam Deck and Linux support. The revenge-seeking roguelite invites players to take control of the flying skull of a necromancer with a literal bone to pick, as it seeks revenge after its own body betrayed it. Today’s forecast: bone storms, hectic synergies, and a rapidly growing skeleton workforce.</p>



<p>In <em>Skull Horde</em> you’ll raise an army of skeletons and send them headfirst into a battle of bone versus flesh, carving through procedurally generated dungeons packed with enemies, loot, and enough danger to keep things <em>humerus</em>.</p>



<p><strong>Watch the</strong><em><strong> Skull Horde</strong></em><strong> launch trailer:</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="eZDQnZrqV8E"><iframe title="Skull Horde - out now!" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eZDQnZrqV8E?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p>Each run drops players into a new dungeon filled with chests, shrines, and increasingly overwhelming threats. You’ll need to keep moving, keep building, and keep your skull in the game as you assemble a squad capable of surviving the onslaught.</p>



<p>At its core, <em>Skull Horde</em> is all about buildcraft. Recruit a wide range of undead units, each with their own abilities, then merge them into stronger forms to unlock new powers. Stack these with perks, loot, and dungeon boons to create wildly overpowered combinations that can quickly go from scrappy to skull-crushing.</p>



<p>Combat plays out in real time, with your minions handling the fighting while you focus on the big-skull decisions: what to build, when to reroll, where to explore, and how greedy you can afford to be before everything collapses into a pile of bones.</p>



<p>With multiple dungeon types, unique enemy compositions, and challenges that demand different strategies, no two runs are quite the same.</p>



<p><strong>Key Features of </strong><em><strong>Skull Horde</strong></em><strong>:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Procedurally generated dungeons full of loot, danger, and questionable decisions</li>



<li>Real-time auto battling where your army fights while you bone up on your tactics</li>



<li>Merge units to evolve stronger forms and unlock unique abilities</li>



<li>Stack perks, loot, and synergies to create delightfully broken builds</li>



<li>Multiple playable characters with distinct bone-shattering strengths</li>



<li>Unique challenges that reward experimentation and clever strategies</li>
</ul>



<p><em>Skull Horde </em>is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Simplified Chinese.</p>



<p><em>Skull Horde</em> is ready to rattle and is available now on <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3199360/Skull_Horde/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steam</a>, with Windows PC, Steam Deck, macOS, and Linux support. The game costs $12.99 USD / £8.99 GBP / €9,99 EUR and is available with a 25% discount.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Goblinz Publishing and indie developers Géraud Zucchini &amp; Chariospirale celebrate full release with new content, endings, and a deeper, darker descent</em></h2>



<p><strong>April 10, 2026</strong> – The wait is over. <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738490/Sol_Cesto/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em><strong>Sol Cesto</strong></em></a>, the fast-paced tactical roguelite where every decision is a gamble, officially launches into <strong>Version 1.0 today </strong>on<strong>Steam</strong>. Developed by <strong>Géraud Zucchini </strong>and<strong>Chariospirale</strong> and published by <strong>Goblinz Publishing</strong>, the game leaves Early Access with a wealth of new content and major system overhauls for <strong>€13.99 / $13.99 / £11.99 </strong>and is available with a <strong>limited-time 33% launch discount</strong>. </p>



<p>Blending strategy, risk, and pure chaos, <em>Sol Cesto</em> challenges players to descend into a constantly shifting underground world in search of a long-lost sun. Each move is a calculated risk: choose your path across a combat grid, then face the unknown, monsters, treasure, traps, or something far worse. In this dark and unpredictable world, luck isn’t just a factor… It’s a system to be mastered.</p>



<p>Since entering Early Access on May 27, 2025, <em>Sol Cesto</em> has evolved hand-in-hand with its growing community, selling over <strong>70,000 copies</strong>, amassing nearly <strong>170,000 wishlists</strong>, and earning recognition as a finalist at the <strong>Pégases 2026 Awards</strong> for <strong>Best Indie Game</strong> and <strong>Best Game Design</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Now, Version 1.0 delivers the definitive game experience.</strong></p>



<p>Players can dive deeper than ever before with a <strong>brand-new final boss</strong> and an additional hidden area lurking in the depths. Each of the game’s <strong>seven playable characters</strong> now features a <strong>unique ending</strong>, adding fresh narrative payoff to every run. Progression has been reworked and expanded, introducing new challenges that unlock characters and items, alongside a dedicated upgrade path for the Peasant, making the character more viable than ever.</p>



<p>Across the board, <em>Sol Cesto</em> has been refined and enhanced. A <strong>complete UI overhaul</strong>, new interactions, improved shops and systems, Steam achievements, and an atmospheric <strong>intro cinematic</strong> all elevate the experience while new visual additions and deeper item synergies open up even more strategic possibilities.</p>



<p><strong>Full list of Version 1.0 launch content updates:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A new boss to conclude the adventure.</li>



<li>A new (mini) playable area, far, far deeper in the depths.</li>



<li>A different ending for each of the 7 playable characters.</li>



<li>Reworked meta progression, with challenges to unlock certain items and characters.</li>



<li>The Peasant now has his own progression branch.</li>



<li>Additional improvements to various items and shops (vendor, statues, dentures, etc.).</li>



<li>Steam achievements added.</li>



<li>A new introduction cinematic for the game.</li>



<li>A complete overhaul of the interface and options.</li>



<li>New visual additions for each character.</li>



<li>New interactions with items and special screens (such as selling items back into the well).</li>
</ul>

</div></figure>



<p>At its core, <em>Sol Cesto</em> remains a game of controlled chaos. With <strong>five distinct biomes</strong>, <strong>seven unique characters</strong>, and a vast array of magical items, ‘stone teeth’ that alter probabilities, and ‘metal teeth’ that unleash powerful curses, no two runs are ever the same. Each choice shapes your journey, and every mistake could be your last.</p>



<p><strong>How far will you go when luck is the only thing standing between survival and oblivion?</strong></p>



<p><em><strong>Sol Cesto</strong></em> is available now on <strong>Steam</strong> with a <strong>33% launch discount for a limited time</strong>. Dive in, master the odds, and descend into the unknown, or wishlist now to keep up with future updates.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>After a year of development driven by community input, the strategic city builder from 5PM Studio is back with a brand new vision</em></strong></h2>



<p><strong>Paris, France &#8211; April 10, 2026 &#8211;</strong> Independent developer <strong>5PM Studio</strong> today announced that <strong>MEMORIAPOLIS &#8211; <em><u>BANNERS &amp; WONDERS</u></em></strong> launches April 28 on PC via <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2228280/MEMORIAPOLIS/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steam</a>. Revealed alongside a new gameplay trailer, this isn’t a standard update but a complete overhaul of the game following a year of intensive development shaped by player feedback.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="youtube-embed" data-video_id="3ZqfxcIXwJE"><iframe title="Memoriapolis - Banners and Wonders update Trailer" width="696" height="392" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3ZqfxcIXwJE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p><strong>MEMORIAPOLIS </strong>built strong momentum during Early Access, earning great sales and a passionate player base. But when the full release did not meet all players expectations, 5PM Studio didn&#8217;t reach for a hotfix. Instead, the team made a bold call: step back, go dark, and come back only when the game was ready to deliver on its original promise.</p>



<p>The result is <em><strong>BANNERS &amp; WONDERS</strong></em>, a reinvented experience already validated by an open beta that drew overwhelmingly positive reception.</p>



<p>In <strong>MEMORIAPOLIS</strong>, players build and grow a living city from Antiquity through the Industrial Revolution. Eras shift, roads sprawl organically, factions rise, and alliances form or fracture. Prosperity and betrayal go hand in hand as players write their city&#8217;s history across centuries.</p>



<p>With nearly<strong> 400,000</strong> players already showing interest, <strong><em>BANNERS &amp; WONDERS</em></strong> is not just a patch but a major update, built around three core pillars:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Wonders &#8211; A real Endgame:</strong> Each session now builds toward a definitive objective, constructing a Wonder in the Industrial Revolution, giving players a meaningful long-term goal and a powerful sense of payoff, as every decision shapes the city’s identity and leads to a final monument that stands as the ultimate expression of the player’s rule.</li>



<li><strong>A Streamlined, More Accessible Experience:</strong> Core systems have been redesigned from the ground up based on direct player feedback. The friction is gone. What&#8217;s left is pure strategy, creativity, and meaningful decision-making, front and center, where it belongs.</li>



<li><strong>Living Factions &amp; Political Strategy:</strong> Factions have their own banner, personality, and political agenda. Players navigate alliances and negotiations at their own pace, adding depth and replayability without ever weighing down the experience. More freedom, more possibilities, more fun.</li>
</ul>



<p>“<em>With </em><strong>MEMORIAPOLIS</strong>,<em> we had a clear ambition from the start but when the full release didn’t meet player expectations, we knew we had to make a difficult decision. Player satisfaction is our top priority</em>” said <strong>Jean-Baptiste Reynes, Founder of 5PM Studio</strong>. “<em>Rather than continuing with incremental updates, we chose to take the time to rebuild the game at its core. Over the past year, we’ve worked closely with our community to rethink major systems and redefine the experience.</em> <em><strong>BANNERS &amp; WONDERS</strong></em> <em>is the result of that process &#8211; and we’re proud to finally bring players back to a</em> <strong>MEMORIAPOLIS</strong><em>that delivers on its promise</em>.”</p>



<p><strong>About MEMORIAPOLIS<br />MEMORIAPOLIS </strong>is a strategic city builder where players guide the growth of a living city across five eras, from Antiquity to the Industrial Revolution. Build, expand, and govern your city while navigating political factions, managing resources, and shaping its evolution over centuries, all culminating in the construction of a monumental Wonder that defines your legacy.</p>



<p><strong>About 5PM Studio</strong><br />Founded by Jean-Baptiste Reynes, 5PM Studio is an independent studio based in Paris and Nice, France. Specializing in 3D strategy games, it innovates by offering immersive and demanding experiences and blending multiple genres. With Memoriapolis, 5PM Studio reinvents the city-builder genre by combining urban management and political challenges, from Antiquity to the Industrial Revolution.</p>
