Synthesized from 4 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 9

Aesir Interactive, a German studio known for horse-themed simulations, rebranded in July 2026 with a new logo. The same announcement introduced Unicorn Academy: Island of Magic, an action-adventure game based on the Netflix anime series, co-developed with Mindscape and set for a Q4 2026 release on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The studio also noted that its train survival game EverRail would enter early access soon.

EverRail launched into early access on July 20, 2026, on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game is set on the frozen exomoon Inara, where players operate a bullet train as a mobile base and life support system. The train runs on battery power that depletes when stopped, forcing constant movement. It supports solo and online co-op for up to four players, with a procedurally generated icy world, train upgrades up to 300 km/h, and expansion to 1,000 cars. The game is priced at 1,900 yen with a 10% launch discount until August 4, and includes Japanese language support from the start.

Shortly after, Mindscape released the Corruption Update for The Legend of Khiimori, an open-world horseback riding survival game from Aesir Interactive and NightinGames. The update adds a land-eroding corruption phenomenon, ferocious wildlife in rift-affected areas, new craftable equipment, expanded archery, survival mechanics, and UI improvements. The game is currently 20 percent off on Steam.
