Tyr, a free-to-play multiplayer tank shooter developed by Stoke Games, entered early access on Steam on September 3, 2026. The game lets players choose between light, attack, and heavy tanks, each with its own tech tree and upgrade options. Armored vehicles can be customized with special abilities, including stealth, sonar pulses, and deployable drones, and can range from tracked to hovercraft types.
The path to early access included a Steam playtest that ran until August 2, with the full release originally scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. The playtest gave an early look at the vehicle customization and ability system, including teleporting vehicles. The early access launch confirms the game is now available, and Stoke Games has stated the early access period will last about 12 months, with the design explicitly rejecting pay-to-win elements. Japanese language support is not currently available.

Publisher Pantaloon announced during its Pixel Arcadia showcase on August 25 that ROLLA, a horror arcade action game developed by Tyrmä Games, will launch for PC via Steam on October 1. The game is inspired by B-movie horror films, where players control a slime-like extraterrestrial flesh mass named ROLLA that has escaped captivity and grows by devouring everything in its path, from people and cars to houses, buildings, and trees. As ROLLA expands, humanity fights back with bullets, missiles, and fire, and players must dodge attacks while completing stage missions to aim for high scores. The gameplay unfolds from a top-down perspective, starting with a car-sized mass that grows larger with each consumption, allowing the destruction of bigger structures. The screen layout mimics breaking news footage, with subtitles at the bottom, and includes multiple city maps from around the world. The game has no victory condition, as monsters rarely win in B-movie horror films, but players can clear stages by meeting specific conditions. A free demo is available on Steam, and the game does not currently support Japanese. Tyrmä Games has updated the demo since its initial release, adding new stages and a UI overhaul.
