Sackbird is a newly formed game development studio. It was created by developers who lost their jobs when ZeniMax Online Studios cancelled their unreleased MMO, codenamed Project Blackbird, in June 2025.
I’m really enjoying Absolum! It’s a modern take on those classic beat-’em-ups from the early days of video games – you know, the ones you fed quarters to at the arcade. Those games were designed to be super replayable, but also pretty tough, to keep you coming back for more. Honestly, that difficulty really works with the roguelike elements in Absolum. It just *feels* right, and it makes the game incredibly fun to play again and again. I can’t get enough of it!
As a fan of this game, I’ve found there’s a really helpful way to approach this boss that makes the fight much more manageable – basically, a way to get a little boost beforehand. It’s something you’ll want to figure out pretty early on, though, because like most roguelikes, you can’t backtrack, so choosing your path wisely from the start is key!
So, NPC Studio just dropped their plans for Fields of Mistria on X, and it looks like Update 4 is coming out early 2026, which will finally wrap up the story in The Mines. They haven’t given a specific date yet, but they said the full 1.0 version of the game should be released sometime in 2026, and they’ve given us a peek at a lot of the cool stuff they’re working on!
Game File spoke with five people who currently or previously worked at the company.

For just 3,350 San Van Bucks (about $29.98), this package includes a skin, stickers for your board, trucks, and wheels, an emote, and an avatar. That’s a great value, especially when you consider that the first three *Dead Space* games are currently available on Steam for $19.99 each.
Dexter, the popular crime drama about a killer with a moral code, is returning to New York City for a new season after the success of the recent revival and its group of fellow murderers.
Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful and expensive. Costs quickly add up with things like the venue, food, entertainment, and travel. And that’s before you even consider essentials like rings, the wedding dress, and suits.
If you’ve been following the development of the game, you might have noticed an imbalance in the promotional material. We’ve seen a lot about the Terminids and the Illuminate, with impressive trailers showcasing each faction. However, the Automatons – those robotic enemies everyone loves – haven’t gotten the same treatment and haven’t appeared in any of the CGI trailers yet.
California’s new law, AB 656, which was signed during San Francisco Tech Week 2025, requires social media companies to make it easy for users to delete their accounts. Once an account is deleted, the law also mandates that companies completely remove all of the user’s personal data, rather than keeping it saved.
