Panic and Okomotive (creators of FAR: Lone Sails and FAR: Changing Tides) shared another look at the upcoming atmospheric adventure Herdling, first revealed at gamescom Opening Night Live earlier this month. In Herdling, head out on a grand alpine expedition with a herd of loveable beast. Ascend a mountain path, encounter eerie dangers and surprising obstacles, and forge your way to the mystery at the summit. Herdling will release next year on PC and consoles. 

  The experimental food art game Nour: Play With Your Food will release on Nintendo Switch this Thursday, August 29. Unbound by scores, time limits, or table manners, Nour invites you to play with your food in a variety of surreal scenes ranging from chill to unhinged - from a symphony of toasters to a bathtub full of ice cream, and far beyond. Rediscover the joy of play in this unique foodie fantasy. Switch pre-orders are available now, and Nour’s price on all platforms is permanently lowered to $9.99 USD.

Panic is also partnering with Life Raft Treats to create and share a unique Nour ramen bowl ice cream through a social media giveaway and a limited run sale via Goldbelly. More information can be found here. There’s never been a better time to Play With Your Food!




  Recently launched titles Thank Goodness You’re Here! - an absurd comedy slapformer set in the bizarre Northern English town of Barnsworth by developers Coal Supper - and Arco, an unique tactical action game where your decisions shape the story from developers Max Cahill, Franek Nowotniak, José Ramón García, and Antonio Uribe - received behind-the-scenes segments celebrating the release of both games.

Thank Goodness You’re Here! is out now on Steam, PlayStation, Switch, Epic Game Store, and Mac App Store.

Arco is out now on Steam, Epic Game Store, Mac App Store, and Switch.   In 2025, get immersed in the streets of Quito in the slice-of-life soccer adventure despelote and make the best of the little time you have left in Time Flies. Both titles will now be released early next year.

And if you caught sight of an errant signal, something strange and unexpected: no you didn’t! Nothing to see here, at least… for now…

Last but not least, fans got a tiny new peek at a breathtaking environment from House House’s cooperative online walker-talker Big Walk, launching in 2025. There will be plenty more big Big Walk talk next year!

Panic will host multiple exciting hands-on demos at PAX West from August 30 to September 2, including a PAX-exclusive first hands-on demo for Herdling. Press appointments are available upon request.
