Kekbur Network — October 2025 Updates
Gamescom Wrap-Up — Finally (Almost) Done The main highlight this fall was my Gamescom and Devcom 2025 coverage. I dropped over 25 exclusive interviews and hands-on pieces across September — that’s a serious pile of writing. To make it easier to navigate, I built a dedicated page collecting everything in one place. Volume-wise it’s over 62,000 words (around 380,000 characters) of Gamescom + Devcom coverage, and if I framed it slightly differently, this could’ve been my first 250-page book, Kekbur’s…

Stormforge Trailer And Playtest Announced
Awesome news everyone: Stormforge has a brand-new gameplay trailer and playtest sign-ups are now live! You might wonder why I’m suddenly sharing this news. Well, because this game is a very strong candidate for my Featured Games section. The first time I saw it was during my interview with Curt Bererton, CEO and co-founder of Roboto Games, back at Gamescom 2024. As a big fan of Ghibli works, open-world survival crafting, cel-shaded art, and Zelda-like exploration… boi, it was an…

Crimson Desert Hands-On Experience
First Impressions at Gamescom 2025 Crimson Desert has been on my personal wishlist for a long time, so stepping into the Pearl Abyss booth at Gamescom 2025 was a highlight of the entire event. The studio invited me to their show floor and gave me the chance to experience the latest build firsthand. Besides playing the demo, I also sat down with Rick van Beem, PR & Marketing Director at Pearl Abyss, to talk about the game and the production…

One Year of Kekbur.net
Turns out, today is the blog’s first anniversary — and I almost forgot! The reason is simple: Gamescom 2025 coverage is in full swing, and with so many interviews in production my focus has been everywhere else. If you missed it, you can find everything inside the Gamescom Special Coverage. What started as a “Plan B” to gather my longreads has grown into something bigger. A year in, the site has become home to interviews, reviews, guides, photo tours, and…

Well Timed Update The “EVE Online: Legion” update Version 23.01 landed today, September 9, marking the latest milestone in New Eden’s evolution. If you missed it, “Legion” was first announced during Fanfest 2025 and went live a few weeks later on May 27, introducing two new ships and hefty new features like player-made missions called Freelance Jobs. I’ve covered the expansion intensively in my recap and through several interviews with directors and producers such as CCP Burger and CCP Rattati.…

100 YouTube Subscribers – Thanks for the Support
Today my YouTube channel passed 100 subscribers. On paper, that might not sound like much, there are creators out there with numbers so huge they barely notice when a hundred people hit “subscribe.” But for me, this milestone carries real weight. It took a full year to get here. A year of experiments, trial and error, and more complex editing sessions than I’d like to admit. Most people who start a channel never cross this point. Many upload a few…

The Blood of Dawnwalker — Gamescom 2025 Impressions
Meeting in Cologne The Blood of Dawnwalker didn’t appear at Gamescom 2025 in the usual way. Instead of rows of PCs or a casual booth demo like most halls did, Rebel Wolves staged a theater-style presentation that felt closer to live performance than a press preview. With a blend of narrative voiceover, cinematic staging, and live gameplay, the session guided me through the world and lore of Dawnwalker. The Performance – A Cathedral for a Game And I’m not joking…
