Perennial heartstring-pullers Nomada Studio and emotional wrecks Devolver Digital are pleased to announce that Neva, the emotionally-charged new adventure from the visionary team behind critically acclaimed indie hit Gris, will arrive on October 15 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series S|X, priced $19.99.

Neva chronicles the moving tale of a young woman, Alba, and her lifelong bond with a magnificent wolf as they embark on a thrilling adventure through a dying world.

Following a traumatic encounter with dark forces, Alba finds herself bound to a curious, mischievous wolf cub. Working together, the pair will help each other overcome increasingly dangerous situations.

The wolf will grow and mature over time - as will Alba's relationship with it - as they traverse this cursed, decaying world.

Building on what Nomada Studio achieved with Gris, players will explore a meticulously designed world brought to life with delicate art, detailed animation, and a haunting original score from Gris composers Berlinist. Unlike their previous effort, Neva also features light, intuitive combat that sees players employ both sword and sidekick against hordes of monstrous creatures.

Neva is an unforgettable experience, and you can play it on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch on October 15.

Acclaimed video game developers Nerial and TV owners Devolver Digital are rolling back the years for the long-awaited launch of 1999’s hottest reality TV show, The Crush House! Available now on PC via Steam, The Crush House casts players in the role of Jae, the newest camerawoman tasked with giving the people what they want.

Jae may have just scored the gig of her dreams, but the demands are high and the stakes are even higher! She must cast, film, and produce each season of The Crush House, capturing all the drama, fighting, tension, and romance in the show’s iconic mansion.

But remember: no matter what, the demands of your audience must be met. If not, you run the risk of cancellation. With dozens of micro-audiences to keep entertained, you’ll have to be strategic to capture them all. You can’t please all the people all of the time, but you’ll have to try.

Choose between twelve eccentric personalities and find your four-person cast for each season’s run. Mix and match conflicting personalities or complementary attractions and watch as tensions run and sparks fly. Catch the best stuff on camera and watch your ratings soar!

Entertainment this good isn’t free, however, so remember to put down the camera and pull up some tasteful TV ads to keep the cash flowing in. You might lose a few viewers, but you can use the extra revenue generated to furnish the house and mix things up for both the audience and the cast.

As if running a hit TV show wasn’t enough, there’s more to The Crush House than meets the eye. Jae can explore the mansion at night when the show goes off-air, engaging in forbidden conversations with the cast to figure out the many dark and twisted secrets of The Crush House.

Do you have what it takes to crush it?

This year’s unprecedented Devolver 15th Anniversary Steam Publisher Sale features a frankly ridiculous number of games from our eclectic roster including the critically acclaimed Cult of the Lamb (40% off), award-winning creepy roguelike deck-builder Inscryption (50% off), philosophical puzzler The Talos Principle 2 (40% off), and recently released solo-developed hits Children of the Sun and Pepper Grinder (20% off).

To enhance the 15th birthday celebrations even further, a series of back-slapping blogs will pepper Devolver’s official website, taking a trip down memory lane to cover hot-button topics such as the team’s favourite t-shirts, soundtracks, trailers, websites and event spaces from over the years. Each new entry will appear on devolverdigital.com daily throughout the sale.

Devolver’s 15th Anniversary Steam Publisher Sale is just our little way of saying thanks to all the fans out there for Wishlisting our games in anticipation of Devolver’s 15th Anniversary Steam Publisher Sale.

Eight long years ago Devolver made a terrible mistake. They almost published Astroneer!

Imagine that. Sadly, the award-winning Seattle-based developer System Era went on to find extraordinary fame and success without them, and the rest is history.

Until now. 

Today, after almost a decade of mutual admiration and friendship, Devolver Digital and System Era declare their undying love for one another in the only way they know how: by turning down the lights, turning up the heat, and forming a strategic business relationship. 

Back when Devolver and System Era were just a glint in the video game industry’s eye, both teams vowed to build companies that reflected their spirit of independence. They placed passion and creativity proudly at the forefront of their businesses, and quickly found success. Now, they have new ambitions that they felt could be explored better, together. 

Brendan Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of System Era, said: “We've always seen Devolver's banner as a mark of quality. Their developer-first ethos has paved the way for some of the boldest and most creative ideas to thrive, and we're thrilled to be joining a merry band of like-minded people where our games will get the support they need within a culture they love."

The System Era fans know and love will continue doing what they do best: making cool video games. In fact, some of the team has already been working on something new and exciting. The Astroneer community can also rest assured that the 2024 roadmap is well on its way, so stay tuned! Astroneer rules.

An unnamed Devolver Digital employee was overheard muttering: “I still can’t believe we didn’t sign Astroneer.”

Reader, they married them.

Brendan Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of System Era, said:

"Devolver and System Era have been mutual admirers for a long time. We've always seen Devolver's banner as a mark of quality, but they also represent an  approach to developing and publishing games that is unique in the industry. Their developer-first orientation lets bold and unorthodox ideas thrive. We're  thrilled to be joining into a confederation of like-minded people where System Era's games will get the support needed to reach global audiences, and our developers will continue to work within the culture they love."

Give Him A Big Hand

Following today’s flawless Volv-E presentation, Devolver Digital is proud to take credit for two brand new independently developed video games: the hilarious Baby Steps from Gabe Cuzillo, Maxi Boch and Bennett Foddy, and the jaw-dropping Human Fall Flat 2 from No Brakes Games.

Alongside them, Croteam’s The Talos Principle 2 solved the question of what it will look like by showing the world what it looks like in Volv-E’s world exclusive gameplay reveal, while the magical sandbox of Galvanic Games’ upcoming Wizard With A Gun dropped a brand new single-player demo on Steam. Thanks Volv-E!

But that’s not all! Volvy’s hype-filled pre-show featured the exciting release date announcement of SLUDGE LIFE 2, along with an exclusive standalone Steam demo that offers up a short slice of what happens to GHOST and the crew before BIG MUD "sells out".

Volv-E provides a breathtaking look into the simplicity of creativity, demonstrating his frictionless use of generative algorithms and deep-learning techniques to autonomously create video games without any direct input from developers at all!

Learn more about all of the upcoming games, see the trailers, watch the presentation again, and grab a big handful of classic Volvy swag at devolverdirect.com

[EDIT]

Following shareholder feedback, Volv-E has been placed on indefinite hiatus.

Our Publisher Sale on Steam is still underway, so why don't you go grab some Devolver Digital classics at shamefully low prices?

And please remember - there is no need to be embarrassed about not owning them already, in spite of what you've been told on Twitter.

Terra Nil, the eagerly anticipated ecological strategy game from Free Lives and Devolver Digital, will finally bloom on PC and Netflix on March 28.

In this chill, meditative twist on the city-builder genre you use advanced eco-tech to transform a barren, desolate wasteland into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Purify soil, clean oceans, plant trees, reintroduce wildlife—then recycle everything and move on, leaving no trace you were ever there.

Across 6-8 blissful hours, tackle a variety of replayable procedurally generated biomes—including volcanic glaciers, ruined cities, and tropical islands—each with their own uniquely challenging climate, geology, flora, and fauna. Then when you've completed all 4 regions, challenge yourself further with unlockable alternate levels.

Create rainforests, swamps, rivers, and more, and watch as the dry, cracked surface of a dead world suddenly explodes with life and colour.

Terra Nil is a peaceful, beautiful, and deeply satisfying experience, and you can begin your journey of wasteland reclamation on mobile (via Netflix) and PC on March 28.

Pre-order now and you'll get the Deluxe Edition of the game—which includes the soundtrack and a digital art book—at the Standard Edition price.

Beginning with pre-orders and continuing after launch, Free Lives will be donating a portion of the profits from sales of Terra Nil on Steam to the Endangered Wildlife Trust.

"From the very beginning of development we've wanted Terra Nil to be able to have a real-world impact," says Sam Alfred, the game's co-creator and lead designer. "After much searching, we found the perfect partner to make this happen in the Endangered Wildlife Trust. Free Lives will be donating a portion of the profits of each sale of Terra Nil on Steam to the Endangered Wildlife Trust to help them in their efforts to preserve and restore ecosystems in the real world."

Devolver Digital’s quest to level up your commute sees byte-sized developer more8bit bring their enthralling lofi battler Bleak Sword DX to Nintendo Switch and PC (including Steam Deck!) later this year. Curious rogues can check out the kinetic new demo during Steam Next Fest from February 6.

Pure, thrilling and wonderfully cruel, Bleak Sword DX is a dark fantasy action game challenging warriors to fight their way through compact, cursed diorama battlefields. Newly updated for PC & Switch, Bleak Sword DX expands on the critically acclaimed Apple Arcade version with elegant controls, three new game modes, and multiple gameplay and graphical improvements.

Through twelve tense and deeply atmospheric chapters, heroes must lift the curse of the legendary Bleak Sword by striking down all manner of horrifying creatures across an oppressive world wielding fierce weaponry and powerful magic.

This striking experience is scored by award-winning composer Jim Guthrie, with sound provided by famed designer Joonas Turner.

BRUTAL NEW GAME MODES

DX includes all original Bleak Sword chapters plus the three DLC chapters complete with new level and enemy layouts.

Randomizer throws players into a remixed version of the original game where levelling up or facing bosses in order is not guaranteed.

Boss Rush challenges players to face all 12 bosses back to back, with only one health bar!

DYNAMIC GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS

New attacks, parries and counters complement a streamlined control system designed specifically for PC & console, while enhanced enemy AI makes them more unpredictable.

STUNNING GRAPHICAL ENHANCEMENTS

New post processing effects, adaptive depth of field and a series of filters give Bleak Sword DX a fresh lick of paint, while particle effects, foliage and weather enhancements bring a new level of atmosphere and immersion to the world.
