Genre: Strategy | Release: April 21, 2026
Following the China DLC Heavenly Spear, another pantheon is now making its way into Age of Mythology: Retold—and what a pantheon it is. The Obsidian Mirror DLC introduces the Aztecs as a new playable civilization, complete with all-new gods, mechanics, monsters, and a 12-mission campaign. At the heart of the Aztec gameplay experience is Tonalli—the life essence released in battle that fuels Favor and divine powers. New additions include fear-and-illusion gameplay, trap-setting, enemy behavior manipulation, and towers built from fallen enemies. A bold, long-awaited chapter for fans of the series. Available on Gamesplanet as a Steam key or as a Microsoft key.

Genre: Adventure / Arcade & Indie | Release: April 22, 2026
What if every player left something behind for future players? In a flooded world suffering from a mysterious plague called Plastemia, you embark on a single-player mission in Tides of Tomorrow—yet you’re never alone. The unique “Online Story Link” feature connects your gameplay experience with that of other players: At the start, you choose a “Seed”—a friend, a streamer, or a random Tidewalker—and then encounter the consequences of their decisions. Levels, NPCs, and storylines can vary completely depending on previous player actions. At the same time, you leave your own footprints for future players. A demo is already available on Steam.
