Flick Shot Rogues has you flick your way into adventure with plenty of roguelike action
With so many roguelikes out there, it can be tough for a new release to stand out. They have to be colourful, with interesting mechanics and a recognisable style.

EA Sports Madden NFL 27 brings pro-football action to mobile and Apple Arcade for the first time
With it being such a scorcher this summer, I think the Americans have the right idea, leaving most of their major sports outings until the autumn. And one of the most popular will be the American NFL with its high-octane competitions. But if you're looking to experience that excitement for yourself, then Madden NFL 27 is the place to be. If you're somehow not already familiar, the EA Sports Madden NFL series is their equivalent to the (now former) EA FIFA series. Allowing you to manage top teams drawn from real-world competitors, craft your own lineup and even play through games yourself, it may not be the most comprehensive sports sim series, but it's undoubtedly one of the most popular. ...

Mountains are useful landforms. More so in 10th-century ancient China, where they even contain enough ancient machinery to keep a small civilisation busy for a very long time.

The update sends you from the mountain city into a cliffside region via the community Cloudtop Ascent event. Foggy peaks, large drops and failing observatories await. ...

Netflix Closes Two Gaming Studios, Including Oxenfree Developer Night School
!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2022/06/10/eab54e04/oxenfreeii-03-dialogue-bubbles.jpg.webp) Netflix has spent the last five years attempting to expand its chokehold on the film and television industry into the video game space, but it's had limited success. Today, Game File reports(https://www.gamefile.news/p/netflix-closes-night-school-moonloot?r=2o0p2h&utmmedium=ios&triedRedirect=true) that the streaming giant is receding from the gaming world a little more by closing two studios: Moonloot, which had yet to release a game, and Night School, known for its work on Oxenfree and Afterparty. Netflix is also cutting staff from its internal team, though it "declined to say how many jobs were being lost" when speaking to Game File. Moonloot is a Helsinki-based team, founded in September of 2022 and led by Marko Lastikka,(https://about.netflix.com/en/news/building-our-internal-games-studios) who had experience working at Zynga and EA in the years prior. Unfortunately, Moonloot never got the chance to release a game. Meanwhile, Night School made a name for itself long before its Netflix acquisition, releasing Oxenfree in 2016 and Afterparty in 2019. Under Netflix, it also released Oxenfree II: Lost Signals in 2023, Thronglets in 2025, and Unhinged, which launched very recently, on June 30. Game File reports that Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters praised Unhinged in a recent investor call, but given today's news, it seems Netflix was still dissatisfied with Night School. The indie studio's acquisition in 2021 was one of Netflix's earliest investments in the world of video games, so closing the studio is a significant step. Game File says Netflix is choosing to focus its future efforts on "kids gaming, party games, story-driven fare and games with mainstream hooks, such as a recently released FIFA game." Studio closures and mass layoffs have sadly become commonplace in the video game industry over the past several years. Earlier this week, Directive 8020 developer Supermassive had its third wave of layoffs since 2024(https://gameinformer.com/2026/08/11/until-dawn-and-directive-8020-developer-supermassive-games-will-lay-off-up-to-75-people). Earlier this year, Battlefield Studios had layoffs despite releasing the best-selling game of 2025;(https://gameinformer.com/2026/03/09/battlefield-studios-hit-with-layoffs-months-after-successful-battlefield-6-launch) Bungie was decimated and Destiny 2 released its final update(https://gameinformer.com/2026/06/25/bungie-is-laying-off-most-of-the-destiny-2-development-team), and Xbox parted ways with several of its development studios, laying off thousands(https://gameinformer.com/2026/07/06/xbox-parts-ways-with-five-studios-over-3000-layoffs-announced). That last instance, at least, recently received pushback; just yesterday, Xbox's new CEO visited Bethesda and was greeted by a giant inflatable rat(https://kotaku.com/xbox-boss-asha-sharma-says-elder-scrolls-vi-looks-great-so-stop-talking-about-that-giant-rat-outside-bethesdas-office-2000723542).

Netflix is closing two game studios
Netflix plans to shut down two of its gaming studios, as reported by Game File and Variety, as it makes a bigger shift toward party games and titles streamed to TVs. One of the studios being shut down is Night School Studio, creators of the Oxenfree series. Netflix bought Night School in 2021, and it &8230;
