New trailers for both games are available now:
Launching in September 2026, Crimson Moon is a Gothic High Renaissance action-adventure RPG built around intense, replayable missions. Players will take on the power fantasy of the angelic Nephilim and battle their way through the besieged city of Gildenarch using combat that blends brutal precision with deep character progression. The game is built to scale, with solo slayers getting a satisfying single-player experience, while co-op turns every encounter into a shared onslaught of power and resilience. Players can bring a friend to the fight to unlock devastating synergies that amplify their Nephilim’s abilities. Co-op enhances intensity and strategy without slowing the pace, making every encounter feel larger and more dynamic.
“ Crimson Moon is inspired by the team’s love of classic fantasy, gothic horror, and metal music, all funneled into one epic action-adventure RPG, and we built it so friends can experience it together," said ProbablyMonsters General Manager and Game Director David Lesperance. “With our release date around the corner in September, players won’t have to wait long to embody the Nephilim and start their journey alone or with their best head-banging buddy through demon-infested streets and towering cathedrals.”
Nekome: Nazi Hunter, set to release in early 2027, is an original Second World War story about Vano Nastasu, a hellbent army of one. Set in early 1941, this single-player action game sends players from New York to Nazi-occupied Europe in a personal odyssey of revenge, as Vano pursues Hitler’s Hyenas, a pack of Nazi soldiers who brutally murdered his family. Players venture deep into enemy territory to scout routes, plan their assaults, and strike with precision in a mix of stealth and brutal up-close combat to earn every kill.
The game is helmed by industry veteran Jeronimo Barrera, alongside a team of talented developers and co-developer partners.
“It’s a gift to be working with such a talented team to bring Vano’s thrilling, cinematic, and propulsive tale of revenge to life,” said ProbablyMonsters General Manager and Game Director Jeronimo Barrera. “ Nekome: Nazi Hunter is designed around meaningful combat and the strategic orchestration of violence, and we can’t wait to unleash players when the game releases in early 2027.”

ProbablyMonsters Sets September 2026 Release for Crimson Moon, Early 2027 Window for Nekome: Nazi Hunter
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United States launched a second round of airstrikes on Iran into Thursday morning after U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would “pay the price” for stalled negotiations, and Iran responded with strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
The new U.S. assault across multiple Iranian cities came as efforts to negotiate an end the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher. The American attack appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Iran released little information on the extent of the damage.
Kuwait closed its airspace for several hours because of the Thursday morning attack, but did not elaborate on any damage. Jordan said it intercepted 20 Iranian missiles fired toward an area that is home to an air base hosting U.S. troops, though no one was hurt.
And in Bahrain, the Interior Ministry said an 11-year-old girl had been hurt and cars and homes were damaged by “falling debris” from interceptions responding to the Iranian attack.
The third back-and-forth strikes this week have tested a two-month shaky ceasefire. The first were attacks between Iran and Israel on Sunday into Monday, followed by the two rounds of fire between America and Tehran. Meanwhile, an Indian official confirmed Thursday that a U.S. attack on an oil tanker allegedly trying to violate the Iran blockade killed three Indian mariners, showing the danger to seafarers.
Trump has urged Iran to sign a deal to end the war and suggested earlier this week that an agreement could be reached in days.
But Iran has proved resilient despite weeks of heavy bombing. It is betting that its ability to effectively close the Strait of Hormuz — a crucial passageway for oil and natural gas — gives it a strong bargaining chip.
Still, both countries seem to be looking for a way to end the conflict — if they can manage to sell it as a win at home.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also appears intent on pursuing goals that make compromise harder: the collapse of Iran’s theocratic government, the elimination of its nuclear program, and the destruction of the Iranian-allied Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon.
The U.S. Central Command said its latest round of airstrikes ended just before sunrise Thursday in Iran. The military command said the strikes came “in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression” and targeted “Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems and air defense sites.” It did not elaborate on the damage done by the strikes, which it said were carried out by the U.S. Air Force, Marines and Navy.
Explosions from the strikes echoed around Iran’s capital, Tehran, as well as the port city of Bandar Abbas and other southern areas along the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard later said sites hit by the Americans included a manufacturing complex, a military barracks and a local Guard base outside of Tehran.
Israel early Thursday also warned residents in the country's north to seek shelter after the detection of suspected incoming fire from Lebanon.
Since the U.S. and Israel started the war with Feb. 28 attacks on Iran, the conflict has shaken the global economy, driven up energy prices and made food and other basics more expensive.
The international benchmark for crude oil traded above $93 a barrel on Wednesday, up more than 25% since the start of the war.
Trump said the U.S. military has since last month undertaken a “secret mission” to sneak oil shipments past Iran’s forces in the Strait of Hormuz. He said ships were slipping through at night, aided by the destruction of Iranian radar equipment.
Trump said as a result more than 100 million barrels of oil have evaded Iran’s chokehold on the strait. There was no immediate confirmation of that figure, which roughly equals five days of oil shipments through the waterway before the war began.
The military’s role was not immediately clear. The U.S. Central Command on Wednesday disputed Iran’s claims that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, saying commercial ships are continuing to transit in and out.
But the seas remain dangerous for mariners. Indian Ports, Shipping and Waterways Minister Sarbananda Sonowal announced on X that three Indians missing after the American attack on the Palau-flagged tanker Settebello had been killed. The U.S. military’s Central Command had accused the Settebello of having “violated the ongoing blockade by attempting to transport oil from Iran.” American forces fired into the ship’s engine room to stop it Wednesday.
The leader of the International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency, condemned the attack on the Settebello. Since the start of the Iran war, there have been 43 attacks on international shipping in the area, the IMO said.
Another tanker near where the Settebello had been struck off Oman experienced an engine room fire on Thursday morning as well, according to the British military's United Kingdom Maritime Operations center. It wasn't immediately clear what sparked the blaze, though initial suspicion fell on another U.S. attack.
Wary of high gas prices in the run-up to midterm elections in November, Trump seems to be looking for a quick win. But he is also making demands that will be tough for Iran to swallow.
The U.S. wants to see Iran give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. While Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, that uranium is a short technical step from weapons-grade levels.
Iran is refusing to give up the uranium and demanding relief from sanctions. It also wants the release of frozen assets even before a final agreement is in place, something Trump rejected.
Iran has insisted that any deal to end the war must also end fighting between its ally Hezbollah and Israel.
A Qatari diplomatic delegation, negotiating in coordination with the U.S., left Tehran on Thursday morning after holding talks, said an official with knowledge of the team who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the mediation.
