WWI Survival Horror Game ‘Conscript’ Out Today [Trailer]
After four years, those itching to get their hands on Australian developer Catchweight Studio and Team17 Digital’s Conscript can finally do just that. The Survival Horror title is out today on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via Steam, and is celebrating with the customary launch trailer.
“It’s a dream come true to see Conscript finally released,” says Jordan Mochi, founder and solo developer at Catchweight Studio. “I poured my heart into creating a game that blends the harsh realities of World War I with the tension and thrill of survival horror. I can’t wait to hear how players respond to the game and see it on the shelves.”
Conscript takes players deep into the trenches of World War I, offering an experience inspired by the classics of the Survival Horror genre. Set in the Battle of Verdun in 1916, players assume the role of a lone French soldier named André, who is looking for his brother Pierre – missing-in-action during The Battle of Verdun. As such, you’ll be scavenging for supplies, surviving intense combat with enemy soldiers, and solving complex puzzles.
Along with experiencing the horror of the Battle of Verdun with a classic and methodical survival horror gameplay style, Conscript is also highly re-playable with various difficulty settings, multiple endings, unlockable costumes and bonus weapons. Players will need to navigate intricate level design posed by the battlefield that promotes item management and route planning.

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.
