Hey, buy this! Cyberpunk 2077 just got a new $145 collector's edition.

Only 1500 Players Have Survived Over 8 Minutes in Devil Daggers, So the Developers Are Making Devil Daggers 2

Ten years after the release of the original, which became a benchmark for minimalist and brutally difficult shooters, the developers at Sorath have decided to return to the abyss. The announcement was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the first game and was accompanied by statistics that perfectly highlight why this title is called one of the most merciless in Steam's history.

Over its 10-year existence, more than 350,000 people have played the original. However, the coveted milestone of 500 seconds (just over 8 minutes), which is the only achievement in the game, has been surpassed by fewer than 1,500 players (only about 0.4% of the total).

The game's creator noted that this same uncompromising difficulty will be the foundation for the sequel. For fans of the original, this is simultaneously joyful and terrifying news. The first part forced gamers to literally memorize every sound and movement over dozens of hours just to survive an extra 10 seconds.

It seems that in 2026, we are in for a new cycle of pain and triumph, where every second on the leaderboard will be worth its weight in gold.
