Windrose Celebrates 1 Million Copies Sold as Player Counts Climb

Cooperative pirate survival game Windrose has reached 1 million copies sold less than a week after its Early Access launch for PC.

Pocketpair Publishing and Kraken Express announced the sales milestone with an update post on Steam today. It’s an announcement that saw it sail past the marker six days after launching for PC via the Valve platform and Epic Games Store April 14.

Reaching 1 million copies is a feat worth celebrating for Kraken as it charts a course through Early Access development, especially as its concurrent player count on Steam alone continues to climb. It’s managed to climb to 200,000 active pirates on Steam alone, with SteambDB recording a peak of 211,177 at the time of this piece’s publication.

Thank you! The boar sends its two-tusked regards.

Jokes aside, your support has been incredible, and your patience while we work on fixes means the world to us.

Moreover, Windrose surpassed 200,000 concurrent players on Steam!

Thank you kindly, on behalf of our entire studio. pic.twitter.com/axHyxc8wQU

— Windrose (@PlayWindrose) April 19, 2026

“Your support for the game is absolutely astonishing, and your patience while we are working on fixes is truly heart-warming,” Kraken said. “While we keep working on the game, we read your reviews and comments, watch your videos and streams, and sometimes, honestly, shed a pirate-y tear of happiness, because now when the game is out you share our dream of swashbuckling adventure.”

Windrose, previously known as Crosswind, debuted to ‘Very Positive’ reviews when it embarked on its Early Access journey last week. Kraken sells it as a “PvE survival adventure in the Age of Piracy,” telling fans it will work with them through the development process in the hopes of reaching a 1.0 launch sometime in the next “1.5 to 2.5 years.”

Players can head out on the sea alone or play with friends via co-op, with the developers estimating the final release will feature “around 50% more content.” We said Windrose “made a strong first impression” and praised its “exploration and progression” in our review so far last week.

This Final Fantasy Card Is A Devious Addition To A Secrets of Strixhaven Commander Precon

Magic: The Gathering’s Secrets of Strixhaven set is fast approaching (with prerelease this weekend), and for the first time since Tarkir: Dragonstorm, we’re getting five Commander precons with it.

One of the more intriguing options of the bunch is Silverquill Influence, a white/black deck that blends artifacts and auras with a Goad theme – and there’s one Final Fantasy card that slots in beautifully.

This Final Fantasy Card Is Spiking In Price

Eye of Nidhogg is a Legendary Enchantment — Aura that costs one Black mana and two generic.

It reads “Enchant creature. Enchanted creature is a black Dragon with base power and toughness 4/2, has flying and deathtouch, and is goaded.”

If you’ve not come up against a Goad-focused deck before, the idea is that it pushes players to attack each other instead of the one goading them.

This enchantment also triggers Killian, Decisive Mentor, the Silverquill Influence deck’s Commander, because as Eye of Nidhogg enters, Killian can goad something else. So for three mana, you’re goading twice, and triggering Killian’s card draw.

Better still, once the creature Eye of Nidhogg is on dies, the card bounces back to your hand ready to create even more chaos.

The card was selling for a pittance not long ago, but its value has jumped 3,550% according to TCGplayer, making it arund $7.50 at the time of writing.

As a reminder, each Commander precon from the set is packed with reprint value and still going for $49.99 each at Amazon (the MSRP).

For more on Magic: The Gathering, be sure to check out the new Commanders joining Killian in the set, and expect plenty more coverage of Secrets of Strixhaven as the set gets closer.

Resident Evil Requiem Mercenaries Rumors Heat Up After Alleged Leak

Resident Evil Requiem fans believe next month’s mysterious content update will add a new version of the franchise’s The Mercenaries mode after an alleged datamine leak revealed tense new music.

The already strong rumors that Capcom would soon reanimate its classic arcade offering started to hold more weight for players after X/Twitter user @MasyaSYRKOV said they uncovered previously unheard tunes while “digging” through the game’s files. The 10 tracks shared don’t seem to be associated with any specific kind of naming convention, but a few key details have players thinking it could be our first taste of a new Mercenaries mode for the ninth mainline entry in the survival horror series.

Resident Evil Requiem has its fair share of intense moments, but allegedly datamined tracks like Track 7 and 9 lean a bit harder into the high-octane sounds one might expect from The Mercenaries. The real nail in the coffin, though, is Tracks 3 and 4, which are backed by a constant ticking noise, suggesting they could be tied to the kind of time-based events the mode is known for.

Where past core Resident Evil experiences primarily focused on delivering undead action structured around a thrilling story, Mercenaries plops players into arenas for an arcade-style shooting gallery that often comes with time limits, special abilities, and more. The mode is also known for featuring a variety of playable characters, with the Resident Evil 4 remake incarnation, for example, allowing players to tap in not only as Leon S. Kennedy or Ada Wong but also villain characters, such as Jack Krauser and Albert Wesker, too.

There’s no telling if we’ll see the supposedly leaked tracks eventually make their way into Resident Evil Requiem, but fans have at least some reasons to expect that The Mercenaries or an equivalent mode will be available in the near future. Capcom announced in March that a series of post-launch additions were in development with plans to arrive in the coming months.

One of the add-ons included a "mini-game" set to launch in May. Players already suspected this same mini-game could be a Mercenaries mode, so today’s news has only added fuel to the fire. However, it's worth noting that Capcom has confirmed little about what the future of Resident Evil Requiem looks like, so it's best not to expect much from the post-launch plans until a more official announcement arrives.

The lack of official confirmation hasn't stopped some from spinning theories regarding which characters a Resident Evil Requiem Mercenaries mode could include. Leon, of course, makes the most sense, with others hoping to step into the shoes of Grace Ashcroft and maybe even the imposing Victor Gideon, too. The mysterious Zeno is another face players are hoping to see return, as it could present an opportunity to see more of what the character is capable of.

Resident Evil Requiem launched February 27, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S. We gave it a 9/10 review, saying at the time that it "successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation." For more on Capcom’s latest, you can read about the mod videos the publisher recently had removed.

Pickmos Publisher Pulls Steam Page Following Pokémon Rip-Off Accusations

Pokémon fans have spent weeks accusing Pickmos of being a rip-off, and now, publisher Networkgo has stepped in, starting by taking down its Steam page.

The company backing developer PocketGame took to the official Pickmos X/Twitter account to clear the air after players noticed that its Steam page was nowhere to be found. Its message was clear: "Networkgo has officially intervened in the development of PocketGame."

Networkgo says it will be "supervising" the development of Pickmos “from a player’s perspective.” The goal, as outlined in a follow-up post, is to steer away from the controversy that has plagued most conversations about the game regarding its clear Pokémon influence for the last month.

Hello players, this is the publisher, Networkgo. We’ve heard your feedback regarding the removal of our Steam store page and want to clear things up. Networkgo has officially intervened in the development of PocketGame.
We will be supervising the Pickmos team from a player’s… pic.twitter.com/ckqt4AEYUj

— Pickmos / Pickmon / ピックモス (@PickMon_EN) April 16, 2026

"We are revising the game to ensure a controversy-free experience," one message from the Pickmos account said. "It will be re-released once our publisher gives the final approval."

Conversation around Pickmos picked up in early March when players began to call out developer PocketGame not only for how it has pulled from Pokémon but also from other games, such as The Legend of Zelda, Overwatch, and even Palworld, too. Its initial reveal, which saw it announced with the name Pickmon before dropping its "N" for an "S," included plans to launch for PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch soon. With its Steam page now, at least temporarily, shuttered, it’s unclear when or where Pickmos will arrive, or what it will even look like.

Meanwhile, Pickmos has also been under fire for what many believe is "stolen art." The design in question involves a piece created by X user @ElpsyFake01, which depicted concept art for an alternate Mega evolution for the Pokémon Meganium.

"Hello, I am an editor from the publisher, and we are currently gathering some information," Networkgo said regarding the allegations. "We will be actively reaching out to @ElpsyFake01."

For now, there is no word on how Pickmos will evolve to dodge any future controversy. For more on creature-collecting in video games, you can read about Nintendo's recently rejected Pokémon patent.

Slay the Spire 2 Review-Bombing

Recent Slay the Spire 2 Steam reviews have fallen to "Mixed" after a new update triggered a second wave of review bombing.

The sequel to developer Mega Crit's popular roguelike deckbuilder, which launched in Early Access to "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews March 5, received its first major update (version 0.103.2) yesterday. It’s a patch that introduced updated art, a range of UI and UX adjustments, tweaked writing for clarity, and more, but not everyone is pleased with the host of balance changes it added.

It’s resulted in an influx of negative reviews and, at least temporarily, left Slay the Spire 2 with the mustard-yellow Mixed recent reviews label. Unfortunately, it also appears to be something Mega Crit expected, with its patch notes beginning with a warning in bold: "This is still an Early Access game, so just because something made it from beta to main does not mean it's set in stone."

"Be sure to pay close attention when embarking on your next few runs: many things that you've grown used to have been re-balanced, reworked, or even removed (in a couple rare cases)," the Slay the Spire 2 patch notes added. "However, quite a few new pieces of content have also been added for you to dig into."

At the time of this piece’s publication, a whopping 4,800 negative reviews have been posted today alone. Steam filters show that users sharing reviews in Simplified Chinese have fallen to Mixed, with most other languages reflecting a "Very Positive" or "Overwhelmingly Positive" reception.

Running many of the more popular reviews through Google Translate reveals that players appear to be disappointed in balance changes. Some have suggested Mega Crit hastily pushed out the version 0.103.2 update without consideration for fans.

"This is no longer the Early Access title I supported financially," one user, who translated their own review, said when requesting a refund. "This is a hostile, gutted shell of what was promised. I am genuinely nauseated by every minute I have spent with this build of the game."

As you may have noticed in the graph above, this is the second time Slay the Spire 2 has faced some level of review-bombing. The first instance happened following an earlier update in March, with many of the negative reviews posted in its wake also criticizing balance changes. As pointed out by Kotaku, Steam users in China will often take to review-bombing as a result of restrictions on social media across the country. Valve’s digital storefront in turn offers a place for players to voice their frustrations.

Some users have also started leaving positive reviews not only to share their appreciation for Mega Crit’s work but to speak out against the flood of negative reviews.

"Why are we review bombing the game????" one user said during the first wave of review-bombing in March. "The balance patch is not that bad, the game is still fun, the game is in early access and you should expect many balance changes, and THE PATCH ISN'T EVEN ON THE MAIN BRANCH ITS ON THE BETA FOR TESTING. You should ignore all the recent negative reviews complaining about the balance patch."

As Slay the Spire 2 faces a string of negative reviews, player numbers on Steam seem to be holding strong. After launching to a staggering peak of 574,000 concurrent players early last month, the sequel currently has a 24-hour peak of 286,000 players (via SteamDB).

We gave Slay the Spire 2 a 9/10 review upon the arrival of its Early Access release. We said at the time that it "doesn't radically rethink the original's deckbuilding roguelike successes, but it does build on top of them in a way that reinvigorates its captivating gameplay."

Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remake Reportedly Set for July Release

In March, Ubisoft released the first piece of concept art for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, confirming the existence of the remake of the beloved pirate installment of the series, and today we have a release date, July 9. The date was reported by Insider Gaming but hasn't been confirmed by Ubisoft as yet.

In a (now deleted) March blog post from Ubisoft's Jean Guesdon, Head of Content did hint at the rumors of the remake. "Speculation around Assassin's Creed is not new, but it's worth repeating: "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." Well, except in this case, some whispers have a little more wind in their sails. Keep your spyglass on the horizon. 🦜"

The project's official name, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, was seen in December, when it popped up via a European PEGI ratings board listing. That sighting followed a few hints from the original game's lead actor.

"Players can be excited about some remakes,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in June 2024, “which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them; there are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich.”
