Synthesized from 6 Yomimono stories · updated 2d ago

Fireshine Games, a London publisher, has had a run of stories about the games it handles and how it handles them. The most recent is a publishing agreement with Denmark-based Fair Games for Necesse, the 2D sandbox survival game already available. The Steam FAQ says Fair Games will keep leading updates, with Fireshine exchanging opinions on ideas and feedback. Update frequency stays the same, though more development time could allow slightly larger-scale updates. The latest major update, Rust and Romance, arrived July 31, 2026.

Before that, Fireshine released the free Core Keeper update Riders of the Underground on September 21, 2026 (Japan time), version 1.3, for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. The update adds the Saddle, which turns any livestock animal into a mount, plus a Moss sub-biome with Oreks and the Hookshot. Three pets arrive with different abilities: Pyokohop and Azeos Jr. were named, with Pyokohop granting a slipperiness effect and attacking at range, and Azeos Jr. able to stun enemies.

At Tokyo Game Show 2026, Fireshine ran its own booth for the first time, showing Core Keeper, Densha Attack and Far Far West. Head of Marketing Tina Moore credited Core Keeper's Japanese success to matching a popular genre with local partners, influencers and community managers, including Neon Noroshi. Densha Attack is preparing a hololive collaboration.

On the Far Far West side, Evil Raptor and Fireshine released the Frostburn update, version 0.2.0, on August 27, adding melee weapons, an ice element, a volcanic map called Hellfire, a new lobby, new upgrades and Uranium currency. Concurrent players passed 8,000 for the first time, and a 20 percent discount set a new low price on Steam. The earlier REKA story saw Fireshine and Emberstorm Entertainment set an August 18 full launch with Japanese support via Shochiku Games.

Far Far West 'Frostburn' Update Adds Shields, Ice Magic, New Stage

Evil Raptor and Fireshine Games released the major update 'Frostburn' for the co-op FPS 'Far Far West' on August 27, 2026. The update adds a shield system that blocks damage separately from health, ice magic that can freeze targets, and a new volcanic stage called 'Hellfire.' The shield decreases over time, and ice magic includes spells that freeze allies to grant shields, freeze enemies to increase damage, or damage enemies while shielding allies. Three new melee weapons were introduced: knuckle dusters, a lasso, and a banjo. Knuckle dusters and the lasso handle wide-area attacks, while the banjo heals. Existing melee weapons can now be upgraded and customized. The Hellfire stage features falling volcanic rocks and meteors, plus three new quests. The update also includes lighthouses that reveal points of interest on the map, new jungle quests, and new Jokers and skins. 'Far Far West' is a 1-4 player co-op FPS where players are robot cowboy bounty hunters using firearms and magic. The game surpassed 1 million copies sold within two weeks of its April 28 early access launch and recorded a peak concurrent player count of 47,256.

Publisher Fireshine Games and developer Emberstorm Entertainment announced on June 2 that the magical adventure game 'REKA' will leave Early Access and launch its full version on August 18.

Players customize the house by combining building parts, furniture, and decorations obtained through quests and exploration. The world, inspired by 19th-century Europe, includes forests and swamps where players help villagers, brew potions, and can choose to play pranks. The 1.0 update will add new story content, expanded building options, a UI overhaul, and Japanese language support. Shochiku Games will distribute the game in Japan. The Steam version currently holds a 'Very Positive' rating, with 82% of roughly 2,900 reviews positive. A 35% discount sale runs until June 8, dropping the price to 1,495 yen.
