Don’t Starve Elsewhere Is Klei’s Next Game During the Triple-i Initiative stream, Klei Entertainment announced Don’t Starve Elsewhere . This will be another roguelike RPG along the lines of the original survival game. However, this time around there will be more of a fantasy element with magic involved. There’s no release window yet, but a first trailer did debut to show what to expect whether you play it alone or with others. In Don’t Starve Elsewhere , we see characters in a new fantasy-style world following being teleported through a portal. Returning characters from the original game , like Wilson, Wendy, Willow, and WX-78, all seem to appear. It seems like finding a stable base, gathering resources to help survive, and dealing with monsters when night falls will all be priorities. There’s also a reference to a fog that can be explored on the Steam page, though it will affect sanity if someone does. The Steam page also confirms online co-op multiplayer will be supported, and at one point in the trailer we see up to four people all fighting back against enemies at once. Here’s the first trailer for the new Don’t Starve game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycb5mqqGPis And the initial screenshots can be seen below: Images via Klei Don’t Starve Elsewhere is in development for PCs, and the Steam page is already live.

First 3 Resident Evil Games and Breath of Fire IV Head to Steam With DRM Capcom announced that the PC versions of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 Nemesis , and Breath of Fire IV are now all available to buy via Steam, however all four games do feature DRM and require EULA consent. Previously, these games first appeared DRM-free on GOG. The Breath of Fire entry in particular was a GOG Dreamlist title . Each of the three Resident Evil games and Breath of Fire IV use The Enigma Protector DRM for the Steam versions. All of the titles are the ones released as part of the GOG Preservation Program. As such, GOG is listed as a developer alongside Capcom on the Steam product pages. As such, the standard pricing is the same on both platforms. However, there is a launch sale in effect for these new storefront releases of Resident Evil and Breath of Fire IV that isn’t mirrored on GOG. All of the games are temporarily 50% off. So instead of being $9.99, they are all $4.99 each . That sale ends on April 15, 2026. The GOG Preservation versions of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and Breath of Fire IV are all now available on PCs via both GOG and Steam, though on Steam Enigma DRM is present.

City Connection Made Hololive Baseball Game Moero: Holo Yakyuu As part of the Japanese April Fools’ Day 2026 announcements, Cover, City Connection, and Clover Lab released a browser-based Hololive Vtuber baseball game called Moero: Holo Yakyu that is based on Bases Loaded / Moero: Pro Yakyuu. It can be played on both PCs and mobile devices, with the official site offering an introduction to the game and link to the playable title . There are three options to choose from when you load up Moero: Holo Yakyuu . The first one is a standard mode that gives you 20 tries to hit home runs, with Ookami Mio as the batter and Shirakami Fubuki as the pitcher. On a PC, you use the mouse to position Mio and press the left button to swing the batt. The second option locks Mio into the “bunt” stance and allows you to try to get 20 home runs that way. The final mode is an Endless option that allows you to try and get as many home runs as possible. I wasn’t able to see a way to switch to a different playable character, though Inugami Korone and Nekomata Okayu both appear on the site. This isn’t the first time a Holo Indie baseball game with Hololive Vtubers appeared. There’s also Koro-san’s Home Wan Derby . That’s a To You Games and Wit One game along the lines of Winnie the Pooh’s Home Run Derby . It costs $3.90 on Steam . Moero: Holo Yakyuu is available to play in browsers on PCs and mobile devices as a Hololive Holo Indie April Fools’ Day 2026 game, and it’s unknown how long it will remain online after the holiday.
