Today, we finally unveiled a first look at Borderlands 4. The trailer, which debuted during The Game Awards, is just the first taste of the mayhem that awaits you on the new planet of Kairos!

This First Look features our new cast of Vault Hunters as they tear their way across Kairos, a deadly new world brimming with bloodthirsty beasts—and even a couple of familiar faces.

It also reveals The Timekeeper, Borderlands 4’s primary antagonist who rules over Kairos from on high.

For some background on how we got here, our Official Teaser Trailer showcased the cataclysmic arrival of Pandora’s Moon, Elpis, in the atmosphere above the previously hidden world Kairos. The collision tore a hole in the protective barrier surrounding the planet, raining down meteorites and bandit masks.

After announcing Midnight Murder Club, our newest multiplayer game and a Top 50 Most-Played Demo of Steam Next Fest, the number one question we’ve gotten over the last six months after a handful of betas is, “When is this coming to consoles??” After staying quiet (hiding in a dark corner of Wormwood Manor), we’re thrilled to finally announce that we’re partnering with Sony Interactive Entertainment to bring Midnight Murder Club to PS5!

We have a crossplay beta that you can download and play right now*, and we’re excited to share that we’ll be launching the game in Early Access on PS5 and Steam in February 2025. Put on your mask, grab your flashlight and revolver, and quietly step into the shadows of Wormwood Manor for some tense and hilarious fun with your friends.

Midnight Murder Club is a six-player shooter-in-the-dark set in a sprawling, pitch-black mansion, where the only light you ever see comes from a flashlight piercing the darkness or gunfire piercing your heart. Turning your flashlight on lets you see which of the 30+ elaborately decorated rooms you’re currently in, but it also gives away your position to enemies who might be hiding close by. It’s the ultimate game of flashlight tag.

When you can’t rely entirely on sight, sound becomes that much more important. Midnight Murder Club has detailed positional audio, which we paired with a fantastic implementation of proximity chat for a truly immersive experience. If your teammate’s speaking to you in the main hall, their voice echoes realistically through the hall and into the surrounding rooms. When a gunfight breaks out in another part of the mansion, you can accurately follow the muffled player laughter and gunfire to point you in the direction of the action. It’s like you’re actually in the mansion!

In a game where using all of your senses matters, working with Sony Interactive Entertainment to bring DualSense wireless controller-specific features to both PS5 and Steam was the obvious choice. While stumbling around in the inky black mansion, the DualSense controller adds an unprecedented sense of touch to the game when you bump into something. Running your hand along the wall to keep your bearings, bumping into a suit of armor, and struggling to open a door as you escape gunfire is brought to life like never before thanks to the DualSense wireless controller. To further immerse you in the mansion, we use adaptive triggers to give weight to every click of your flashlight and every pull of your trigger.

To further spice things up, find vending machines that give you access to a

Enter a world of shadows where nothing is sacred and no one is trustworthy, where anything not bolted down is a treasure or a threat, and where only the clever survive. Welcome to Thick As Thieves, coming to PS5 in 2026.

Hello from the team at Otherside Entertainment! Thick As Thieves is a multiplayer stealth-action game inspired by immersive classics like Thief and Deus Ex. Our studio founders Warren Spector and Paul Neurath established the genre making these games we grew up with. We adore the feeling of being a master thief, lurking in the shadows, and exploring the living worlds of these games. But, we also want to explore these worlds together. So, we began Thick As Thieves with this captivating idea of “thief vs. thief” where you weren’t just stealing from rich lords, but against other players in high-stakes, high-tension stealth duels.  

You take on the role of a master thief engaged on perilous missions to steal wealth, earn prestige, and escape with your skin intact. You are an agent of the Thieves Guild, a shady criminal order that outfits you, sanctions your runs, and bails you out if you get caught. Every night you step out onto the rooftops with a mission, a plan, and a fiendish bag of tricks. Are you going to be the ace performer, stealing the big treasure and climbing the Guild ladder? Are you going to be the opportunist, filling your pockets with gems and jewels while your rivals tear each other apart? Or have you got a deeper motive that pulls you into the shadows, following the clues to reveal your story?  

Your thief’s way is always personal: which tools you select and how you tune them, whether you prefer to go in from above or below, loud or quiet, with a song or with a fist, every thief’s approach can be unique. As you complete runs and earn cash and prestige, you grow your thief’s abilities and their career. Gain access to new gear and abilities, then customize them to your tastes. Try a new loadout each time, tailoring your approach to the challenges you expect to face. Mastery of a wide range of stealthy skills is critical to success as mission variation and emergence mean every run is a fresh challenge. 

Your arena is the dirty, decadent city of Ordene

Hi everyone, on behalf of The Game Kitchen, we’re thrilled to finally reveal the project we’ve worked on for the past two years, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. A collaboration with Dotemu, Koei Tecmo Games, and Team Ninja, into which we’re pouring our hearts and souls.

Play Video

When Dotemu first approached the studio with the possibility of developing a new entry in this legendary saga, the news was received with incredible excitement. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that couldn’t be missed.

While creating the concept, we approached the franchise with a deep appreciation for its significance as a landmark in the action genre during two distinct eras: the late ’80s and the early 2000s. Both the classic 2D and modern 3D iterations stood out for their exceptional quality, offering tight gameplay, striking visuals, memorable music, and captivating storytelling. 

The series has left a lasting impact on players and continues to inspire developers, including our team: a diverse group spanning generations who grew up with Ninja Gaiden. In this presentation post, we’d like to introduce two members of the Ragebound team and share how Ninja Gaiden’s legacy has shaped their work from unique perspectives.

Since then, we have had the incredible opportunity to shine a light on hundreds of unique and creative games through our in-person events and digital showcases, all for free at no cost to developers or attendees/viewers. This year, we made the transition to being a fully independent 501c3 non-profit, allowing us to continue our passion for supporting game developers and the magical stories they’re telling.
