They're kick-starting their indie game celebrations in style with a week's worth of glorious primed and juicy content. Central to the party you’re all invited to, is Wired's biggest ever Steam Sale. The sale is so big that the wordsmith team worked for 15 days straight to land the most unique and eloquent title… the “Wired 15th Birthday Mega Sale”.
Of course, we know this isn’t enough to get everyone excited on a Friday afternoon, so we've bundled a free weekend with Tiny Troopers: Global Ops, packed in the launch of Tin Hearts with up to 20% off, dropped brand new money-saving bundles, hit the green button on new demos for Gori: Cuddly Carnage and Bulwark: The Falconeer Chronicles, and (!) managed to drop coin with the reveal of all new pinball DLC for indie hit Arcade Paradise. The Wired Mega Birthday Schedule Includes:
- Steam Publisher Sale (May 12th to 18th) - Tiny Troopers: Global Ops Free-to-Play Weekend (May 12th to 14th) - Xbox Publisher Sale (May 15th to May 29th) - Tin Hearts Launch (May 16th for PC, PS4/5 and Xbox Series S|X) - Arcade Paradise Pinball DLC launch (May 18th)
Our biggest sale is here!! That's right, it's our birthday (15 wonderful years of indie gaming!) so we've fired up our AI deal maker (we call him Mauro 2.0) to curate the very best offers we've ever dared to drop! More so, as it's our birthday, we've teamed up with PCGamesN to offer our community a chance to win a SteamDeck! Want to win? Enter HERE! Please check out our lineup and hit follow to stay up to date on all Wired'd releases!
In addition, Wired is giving away over $1,000 in prizes via the Wired Social channels, from Steam Decks to custom consoles and the introduction of the Wired Black Card - think a Nando's card but instead of free chicken for life it’s indie games. Each year Wired will distribute a select number of Black Cards to friends, community members and other lucky folk. Follow @WiredP on Twitter for all the details.
F*ck War - Raising funds for WarChild
Ivar & The Horde released the anti-war song “Broken Walls”, dedicated to raising money for the children affected by the War In Ukraine.
Leading on from the success of the Single, which amassed a total of 100,000 listeners, the brand-new “Broken Walls” Future Funk Squad Remix video is an opportunity for us to kickstart the GoFundMe campaign and to get us all to dig deep and contribute to the charity WarChild.
TURN THIS UP LOUD and watch the 'Future Funk Squad Remix' below:
Released on Black Razor Records. “Broken Walls” is the latest release from alternative rock/rap artists, Ivar & The Horde (Stu Brootal & Kieron Pepper), and draws inspiration from the war-themed arcade twin-stick shooter ‘Tiny Troopers: Global Ops’ which launched on 9th March.
The game highlights a series of military megalomaniacs from around the world, and their greed-filled desire to cause conflict and chaos.
Every contribution on the GoFundMe will receive a download code for:
All proceeds from the song on Bandcamp and the GoFundMe will be donated to War Child.
Please give as much as you can, because 1 in every 6 children in the world are affected by armed conflict and we can make a difference. If you can't support financially. Please, share the message and get it seen by as many people as possible.
If you would like to know more about the charity. Visit them here: WarChild.
Thank you.

Happy Birthday Those Who Remain!
One year ago we were opening the doors to Dormont, the eerie and mysterious town that's shrouded in perpetual darkness.
We were in a different world back then: the pandemic was hitting us hard, and the lockdowns were just starting to be a thing. Our release plan had to be adapted to be 100% online, as all the trade shows and events had been cancelled by then. It felt a bit strange to be focusing on a videogame while the world outside was upside down, but in a way that kind of helped us go through that period. We had our own world that needed our attention and our focus.
The release was a hell of a day - a mix of anxiety and excitement for finally being able to show the world what we'd been working on for the last couple of years.
We spent the day between streams, interviews and podcasts, while trying to reply to messages, emails and tweets that kept piling on our inboxes. Luckily we had the best team ever on our side - the amazing folks at Wired Productions, who were grinding as much as we were to make that launch a success. It was a crazy day, but we couldn't have felt prouder, as we knew this was our most intense game to date. It's not just a horror story, it represents a lot more to us. It holds a message about some very delicate topics that are unfortunately too common in our society.
One year later, we can say that it's incredibly satisfying to have received such amazing feedback from the players, especially the folks that drop us an email to say how much they enjoyed their journey through Dormont. It may sound a bit cliché, but it's true: this is what makes it worth.
Games are art, and if it's true that every piece of art carries a bit of its creator with it, then Those Who Remain carries a lot of us in it.
Now it's time to celebrate, so what you say? Shall we head to Dormont once more?
