The arena gates open in five days. Exordium Games and publisher Daedalic Entertainment have released a new animated launch trailer for Bloodgrounds, their turn-based gladiator roguelite, ahead of the game’s Early Access debut on November 5. The announcement was made on October 31, 2026.

The new “Rise of the Gladiator” trailer mixes animation and gameplay to showcase the fear, gore, and glory of arena combat — the core loop behind the game’s single-player campaign. Bloodgrounds arrives with momentum: its demo has already earned a Very Positive rating from players. The full 1.0 release is planned to follow in early 2026.

Bloodgrounds blends brutal, tactical grid combat with deep squad management, RPG progression, and roguelite elements. Players step into the sandals of a once-enslaved gladiator turned wealthy patron, commanding teams of physical, ranged, and magical fighters across blood-soaked arenas on a quest for vengeance against the tyrannical Emperor who killed his father and stole his youth. The stakes are hardcore: every gladiator’s death is permanent, along with their gear and progress, while survivors earn loot and experience. The crowd matters, too — players can win over the bloodthirsty audience for battle rewards, or work the underworld to sabotage rivals before a fight begins.

The Early Access release includes the entire narrative campaign, five different ages, each with its own biome and challenges, nine gladiator classes with multiple levels and abilities to unlock, 13 unique buildings, and stacks of weapons, equipment, and consumables. Between fights, players recruit, train, and upgrade their gladiators, manage trauma and status effects, and navigate the political intrigue of Marevento in a dark fantasy world drawn in gritty pixel art.

Bloodgrounds is developed by Exordium Games, the Zagreb, Croatia studio founded in 2014, and published by Daedalic Entertainment. It enters Steam Early Access on November 5.

Train Yard Builder has pulled onto consoles. Ultimate Games S.A. has released the relaxing model railway simulator on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with the console versions developed by Wildlands Interactive S.A. The game first arrived on PC via Steam on September 16, 2024, and the console editions carry a standard price of 19.99 USD/EUR.

Players step into the shoes of the grandson of an experienced modeler who inherits a house and sets out to build a railway empire of his own. The career mode hands out missions and commissions that gradually unlock new rooms to expand into, while a sandbox mode removes the objectives entirely for players who would rather build at their own pace.

Building is the heart of the game. Players lay tracks, viaducts and bridges, place switches to route trains through their yards, and reshape the terrain itself, carving rivers and roads and placing buildings around the layout. Trains and carriages can be mixed and matched and customized, and managing resources carefully is the key to keeping the yard growing.

The console release is a single-player experience, with a 3 GB download on PlayStation 5 and 6.2 GB on Xbox Series X|S, and support for 16 languages. The original game was developed by GameFormatic S.A., and its calm, first-person take on the hobby has made it a relaxing alternative to faster-paced simulators.

Train Yard Builder is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, priced at 19.99 USD/EUR on consoles. Whether tackling career commissions or free-building a dream layout in sandbox mode, players can start laying track today.
