[Video] DreadXP Announces ‘Dread X Collection 5’ With Cryptic Teaser
They warned us, and now DreadXP have announced that their fifth edition of the Dread X Collection is coming. The announcement was accompanied by a small teaser trailer that, while it doesn’t reveal much, leaves a lot of speculation as to the theme of the new collection.
The presence of candles in the logo, along with the various clown imagery in the 24-second video seems to suggest a party-themed collection. Of course, this is all just guesswork, as DreadXP hasn’t revealed details just yet, including a release date.
In case you’ve not heard of the Dread X Collection series before, the series has DreadXP teaming up with several indie devs to showcase their works based on a particular theme. For example, the previous collection, Dread X Collection: The Hunt, focused on seven short horror shooters that revolved around an overarching story involving the abandoned ARK 2 research base.
The devs are given a short development timeframe to create the games, which in The Hunt‘s case, resulted in around 8-12 hours of total playtime.
There’s no Steam page as of yet, so we’ll be keeping our eyes out for this one. If you’re interested in checking out the previous collections, you can hit up series’ page on Steam. And, if you’re interested in something more recent from DreadXP, you can always check out their Lovecraftian take on dating sims with Sucker For Love, which was released just last month on Steam.

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
