From the creators of Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft (which you can snag for free), in Pool of Madness, you find yourself aboard a ship stranded at sea. You’re a Voidhunter tasked with purging the ship of Eldritch entities by performing deadly pool rituals. At least that’s what the voice in your head tells you. And the crew is nowhere in sight to convince you otherwise.

Your ever-evolving cue should make the next ritual easier. It will certainly make it different, thanks to the game’s procedurally generated and custom-made rituals. You can upgrade your cue with collected parts and try out the upgraded build. You can also unlock new powerups and haunted totems in order to complete the ritual and get ready for the next terror. And if all else fails, use your gun to blast your way out.

The recent Steam Next Fest demo is still very much available for those looking to get some practice in before the real game begins later this week. Bit Golem plans to have Pool of Madness in Early Access until Q3 2027 in order to develop and release additional features, content and polish, including new table mechanics, locations, bosses, items, and more.

What begins as a missing persons case slowly becomes personal as players search for clues tied to the disappearance of the detective’s own daughter. Investigate crime scenes, examine bodies, photograph evidence, and survive a hostile wilderness that grows increasingly dangerous after dark. Beyond the forest trails, flooded swamps, and hidden waterways can be explored by boat, leading to isolated locations filled with disturbing discoveries and hidden dangers.

Between investigations, players return to a customizable safehouse where they can craft supplies, upgrade equipment, and prepare for the next descent into the unknown. Dynamic weather systems, adaptive threats, survival mechanics, and immersive detective gameplay combine to create a horror experience where uncovering the truth can be just as terrifying as surviving the forest itself.

One of the more unusual features of Where Dolls Hang is its integration of real-world photography into the fictional environment. Several dolls and objects appearing throughout the game have been recreated as 3D models based on real photographs. Some of the original photographs can also be discovered within the game itself. This allows players to encounter a disturbing object in the game before potentially finding the real photograph that inspired its creation, further blurring the boundary between fiction and reality.

Where Dolls Hang is currently in development for release on Steam later this year.

Inspired by the N64 era, with the soul of a survival horror, Noctheria casts you as a Novice Priestess of the Church of Dendrael, sent to a ceremony in Albadusk, the land where it is said Dendrael impaled himself on a tree to save humanity. You’ll quickly find yourself in a dungeon-crawling nightmare full of the dread of horror. Roam the world at your own pace, solve dungeons by wit alone, and face whatever lurks in them.

Much like Zelda, every dungeon has its puzzles, where the only way forward is through focus and wit. The items you pick up in these dungeons help you progress further in the open world, allowing you to reach secrets that were previously closed off to you.

As you’d expect, you’ll also be facing off against the big baddie at the end of the dungeon, where each one will require its own strategy to defeat.

The demo allows players to experience the first five days of their quest, travelling between villages where each must be prepared and defended against nightly attacks. During the day, players choose which abilities to activate across four buildings in each village, before facing waves of enemies after nightfall.

Blending tactical, grid-based combat with strategic card-based gameplay, village management and a story of love, death and resurrection, players in The Vow: Vampire’s Curse take on the role of Sir Richard, a righteous knight whose wedding to his beloved Eleanor is brutally interrupted by the vampire lord Arnaud. When Richard is killed trying to protect her, he is mysteriously brought back to life, changed in ways he does not yet understand. Driven by his determination to reach Arnaud’s castle and rescue Eleanor, Sir Richard sets out on his quest. Yet the path ahead is far from straightforward, and death is only the beginning.

Sir Richard’s journey unfolds across a repeating seven-day cycle, with each day bringing new opportunities to prepare for the dangers ahead. During daylight, players develop and upgrade villages, unlock new effects, place defensive obstacles and assign villagers and allies to help withstand the coming attacks.

When night falls, the game shifts into tactical, card-driven combat as waves of vampires and their thralls descend on the village. Here, positioning is everything. Push enemies into hazards, pull them towards traps, block their paths with fences or crash them into obstacles and each other. Summoned objects and allies add further options, giving players plenty of ways to control the battlefield without always relying on direct damage.

Each run is part of a larger journey. Death sends Sir Richard back to the church, but story progress, knowledge and unlocked cards carry over, allowing players to discover more of the narrative and develop their strategies with every attempt. Along the way, artefacts can provide powerful advantages, while dangerous omens introduce new curses and challenges that can change the course of a run.

Look for The Vow: Vampire’s Curse on Steam next year.

In the vein of genre fare such as Scratches and Dark Fall, players in Seclusion: Islesbury take on the role of Detective Jason Endel as he sets out to explore Islesbury, a town fading away after a series of violent and unexplained riots. With empty streets and buildings in ruins, rumors spread of locals descending into madness, with strange sounds around every corner.

The first-person horror offers up to 15 hours of gameplay filled with immersive exploration, thrilling storytelling, and logical puzzles. Rather than relying on forgettable jump scares, the game delivers a haunting atmosphere as you piece together the clues behind the mysterious events that transpired in the town of Islesbury.

Can’t wait until launch? You can sign up for the Grave Mistakes playtest on the game’s Steam page, and get access to the family business before opening day.

In this 2-4 player co-op game, you’ll manage and supervise the Good Mourning Funeral Home. Grieving families need your utmost attention. That means preparing the bodies for their final viewing, delivering passionate eulogies, and stealing a couple of limbs along the way for Grandma’s dinner.

Of course, you’ll need to replace body parts with similar-looking items in order to not raise suspicion from grieving families. A basketball makes for a perfect replacement for a head, for example. Just don’t forget the photo to tape to the ball.

Word about the funeral home is getting around, and more families are showing up every day. More bodies through the door means more money and better upgrades for the business, but it also means more funerals running at once, more chances to slip up, and a Grandma who’s only getting hungrier. When the day ends, everyone gathers in the basement for family dinner, and Grandma gets to eat what you’ve gathered for her. Fall short on her order, and someone else will end up on the menu.

The island stays the same on every run. What changes is what the player knows. With each loop, players learn more about the island, until they find the way to end the nightmare.

Designed as a short film-like experience, players only have a lantern to guide them as they explore the island in first person. They must carry objects and operate machinery with physics-based interaction in order to solve the puzzles standing between them and the beacon, all while avoiding the threat that hunts them in the dark.

The Lighthouse is the first entry in Clairvoyage, a series of short, self-contained horror experiences, each set in a different time and place. Every entry is built around a single intense scene that can be played in one sitting, with a larger story revealing itself slowly across the series.

If you’re on the fence about making a purchase, you can check out the game’s demo that’s also available.

Incorporating player feedback from 2023’s Lords of the Fallen, as well as the studio’s community-oriented development process, the team discusses a wealth of upgrades and new abilities in the new video, which includes almost 30 fully distinct weapon movesets (up from 15 in the original game). Each weapon class includes unique maneuvers – including repositioning strikes, infinite combo chains, and area-of-affect assaults – to provide players with significantly greater tactical expression.

The depth and diversity of all combat systems has also been expanded for the upcoming sequel, with a far greater focus on hybrid builds, all part of encouraging players to not only experiment in their approach to combat, but to have fun while doing it.

“We want players to feel like a Swiss Army sword, ready to draw from an arsenal of combat options at any moment,” explains Ryan Hill, Chief Creative Officer. “From Quickfire projectiles to mid-combo weapon swapping, players will be spoilt for choice when it comes to ripping their foes limb from limb. And there’s plenty more yet to reveal…”

Currently, Lords of the Fallen II is development and available to wishlist on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via the Epic Games Store for release in Q1 2027.

This special edition brings Evil Inside and Evil Inside VR together on a single disc, offering two different ways to step into the nightmare: from the first-person psychological horror of the original game, to a completely rebuilt experience designed for Virtual Reality.

After his mother’s death and his father’s arrest, Mark attempts to contact her using a spirit tablet. However, the ritual goes awry, shattering the tablet, and resulting in a series of paranormal events beginning to haunt him. To uncover the truth, Mark must explore his family home, piece together the fragments of the tablet, and confront the terrifying visions, fears, and secrets hidden within its walls.

In Evil Inside, players will experience the original nightmare from a first-person perspective, set in a house that constantly shifts around you. Nothing is as it seems. Darkness, loneliness, and strange events will lead Mark toward a truth he may not be ready to face.

In Evil Inside VR, revisit the story from a completely new perspective. A complete reimagining of the original game with revamped gameplay, redesigned puzzles, enhanced lighting, immersive spatial sound, and a more terrifying sense of presence.

In the Hunter: The Reckoning TTRPG, you do not play as an invincible superhero, but as an ordinary human. Here, your character sheet is the ultimate key to survival. Your journey begins with your Hunter’s appearance. Starting from pre-set models, you can sculpt every detail, from physical build, hairstyle, and clothing, to the tattoos and scars that tell the story of a troubled past.

Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish adapts the rules of the tabletop role-playing game’s 5th Edition. Players can choose from pre-built archetypes to dive straight into the story or build their character from scratch. The progression system has been designed to be seamless and intuitive: investing points in attributes like Strength unlocks tiers in related skills such as Brawl, Melee, or Intimidation. This mechanic allows for rapid specialization while giving players the freedom to fine-tune their playstyle, whether it relies on diplomacy, stealth or occult knowledge.

These skills translate into active gameplay through dice rolls – a mechanic close to the hearts of RPG fans. A charismatic Hunter can talk their way out of a bloodbath, while a sharp mind will uncover crucial clues. Finally, before launching your crusade, you must select your virtues and flaws – strengths and weaknesses that will directly shape your destiny.

“The heart of any RPG lies in the player’s ability to truly make their character their own. That’s why we wanted to deliver a character creator that is both deep and highly accessible,” explains Piotr Latocha, Game Director at Teyon. “Every decision, from appearance to skills, will impact how you survive in the unforgiving world of Hunter: The Reckoning. Your character is a direct reflection of how you choose to face the darkness.”

Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, with a Summer 2027 release window.

It is said, that among the many monstrosities inhabiting the cursed continent, some rise to the rank of deities. Tsathoggua is one such entity: an evil being with a grotesque appearance reminiscent of an oversized amphibian. The Great Old One lurks somewhere deep within the bowels of the cursed continent, and only the most daring adventurers can flush it out.

In addition to an area dedicated to Tsathoggua, this update introduces other new features to The Mound:

• Revamped Treasure Shrines: Collecting valuable items will be riskier, as some of them may alert nearby monsters, summon creatures, or deal damage to players.
• New weapons and occult items to fend off monsters, and even pit them against each other.
• Revamped progression: Players can now reach level 70 and spend their earned skill points to unlock additional abilities, such as resistance to bleeding, extra stamina, or movement speed.
• New sanity effects: Are you sure you’re holding a sword or a spear in your hands…?

Inspired by the short story “The Mound” by H.P. Lovecraft, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu invites solo players or squads of up to four members to set out for an uncharted continent in search of a legendary city containing priceless treasures. Armed with 15th-century weapons, the vulnerable squad must advance cautiously to face unspeakable horrors while keeping a close eye on their dwindling sanity, which will cause panic and confusion within the group.

Following months of closed playtests, Beta 2 is the second chance for most players to try God Save Birmingham since the beta test that took place this past June. During Beta 2, players can attempt to survive the harsh medieval setting with their friends in an alpha build of co-op. The game also has had a save feature added, giving players some extra security while they try to fend off zombies. There are also plenty of general gameplay upgrades, including more ways to cook, additional items to craft, and new weapons to wield.

In addition to new features, Ocean Drive Studio has made numerous tweaks based on player feedback: zombie aggression and general behaviour is now more varied based on the zombie type, clothing provides different levels of warmth for the player depending on the material, and more types of doors and windows can be barricaded or latched.

If you’re itching to jump into the playtest, simply head to the God Save Birmingham Steam page from next Monday, and click the “Request Access” button. You’ll be granted instant access and get to experience a taste of zombie-filled, Middle Ages England.

Set in 14th-century Birmingham, England, God Save Birmingham sees you as the lone survivor of an undead plague that has besieged the medieval market town. As a result, you must forage for supplies, craft tools and weapons, as well as hunt for food, water, and shelter, with only your wits to protect you. All the while, the undead horde creeps closer.

In case you need a refresher, Demon Spore casts you as a top scientist at Protagenics, a cutting-edge genetic research laboratory. You’re racing to solve the problem of feeding an ever growing population. In the process, your team has overstepped ethical boundaries with gene editing in an attempt to breed a new form of livestock that will grow at 100 times the rate of normal animals.

The result is their experiment being mysteriously tampered, resulting in a virally spreading mass of cells that is consuming everything in its path and evolving into a creature from hell. You must use your scientific experience to learn how the organism behaves, exploit its weaknesses and fight your way to safety.

The new demo has you scrambling across the first floor of the Protagenics lab to start your escape – if you can make it to the elevator, you’ll be well-prepared for the horrors in the full release. If the challenge is too much alone, team up with 4 players on the couch, across the world with Steam Remote Play Together, or a mix of both. The full release of Demon Spore will support online co-op.

Strike back against the mass using six experimental weapons, including a tesla coil gun and a scalpel thrower, with more weapons to come in the full release. You may not make it on your first try, but giving up is not an option. Each treacherous attempt has a new layout and new equipment, so choose your route carefully.

As mentioned, Moonlit Vigil casts you as the cemetery’s new caretaker. Less gruesome than being a mortuary assistant (but just as scary), as you go about your duties in the cemetery, stranger and stranger things start to happen, quickly turning your first shift into a nightmare. Players will explore the cemetery grounds and uncover what really happens to bodies once they’ve been buried.

Combining exploration, environmental puzzles, and a talking crow (?!), you’ll discover that every living and dead being in this place has their own story. You’ll need to observe closely in order to piece together what really happened in the cemetery. There are also plenty of “blink and you’ll miss it” scares for those in the mood for some jumpscares.

The story concerns spatial anomalies known as “Otherworlds”, which have appeared on earth without warning. The government’s “Special Danger Zone Countermeasures Office” has been unsuccessful in repelling the threat and determining the origin of the anomalies. Players take control of investigator Reona Minazuki, who has been awakened from a 10-year slumber inside an anomaly known as the “Sarcophogus” and acquired a keen sensitivity to the Otherworlds. Reona must rescue her lost friend, determine the origins of the Anomaly Zones and navigate the mystery of her new powers.

Players will have to manage resources while fending off otherworldly creatures, upgrade and exploit 12 unique game-changing powers, and customize their weapons and outfits with numerous possibilities and stat-altering functionality. All the while, you’ll be exploring strange worlds such as an apartment complex with inverted gravity, shopping streets that seemingly extend infinitely, or a dark hall that seems to be writhing with a life of its own.

“FURYU is incredibly excited to finally share our first survival horror shooter with both our long-time fans as well as horror lovers looking for new experiences and thrilling stories,” explains ANOMALITH producer Gai Kidokoro. “ANOMALITH is something very different for us, but rest assured aspects like the worldview, characters with compelling storylines, and moving music are part of this title too. We’re honored to put our stamp on the world of survival horror action and look forward to players experiencing our take on one of our favorite game genres. ”

Unfortunately, you won’t have long to enjoy Dek in Fortnitemares this year, as the annual event ends on November 1. But that shouldn’t stop you from visiting the Item Shop and grabbing him, along with his accompanying accessories.

And in case you missed it, this year you can also grab skins for Freddy Krueger, Nikki from Obsession, Beetlejuice, Five Nights at Freddy’s, The Purge, Slender Man and more.

The release date announcement for Lazarus was accompanied by a new trailer, which brings players up to speed on the DLC’s story.

Cronos: Lazarus returns to the dark sci-fi horror universe of Cronos: The New Dawn, expanding on the story introduced in the original gamel. The expansion builds on Bloober Team’s signature blend of oppressive atmosphere, intense encounters and resource-driven survival, with faster-paced action and more aggressive combat that demand quick thinking and tactical precision.

Players step into the role of the Pathfinder, an agent of the Collective, uncovering the events that led to his tragic transformation into the Warden. Standing in the Pathfinder’s way is the Tracker, a relentless envoy of the Collective tasked with hunting him down before he can complete a revival mission the organization must never uncover. Set before the original game, the DLC explores Pathfinder’s past and reveals new details about the Collective and the consequences of defying its authority.

To survive, players will wield new abilities, including teleportation for rapid repositioning and a decoy that distracts enemies while briefly rendering the Pathfinder invisible. The expansion also introduces the Gladius, a faster, deadlier weapon than the original game’s dagger.

Available today via the Steam Public Test Build and officially releasing on November 24, Dead by Daylight: Terrifier brings a new level of chaos and clownery into The Entity’s Trials.

A love letter to the series’ most iconic kills, Art’s gameplay delivers on the killer clown’s signature blend of carnage and comedy with a trash bag full of terrifying toys for players to unleash.

A serial killer raised from the dead by demonic forces, Art the Clown is always down for a bloody good time.

With his Power, Bag of Toys, Art reaches into his trash bag for a random selection of weapons including a flail, a flamethrower, a firearm, a beer bottle full of acid, and even that little bike horn. Each successful hit with a toy builds its deadliness, eventually letting Art knock down injured Survivors and execute them with murderous glee. To top it off, each weapon will have its own unique Mini-Mori.

As for perks, Art has three: Funny Business grants a random effect in addition to a temporary haste buff whenever you damage a Generator. These effects can be as helpful as blocking Generators or as wacky as a burst of confetti. Kill Spree ends each Trial with a merry massacre, letting Art unlock the ability to kill remaining Survivors when they have all reached 2 Hook States and all Generators have been completed. Finally, Laughingstock makes Survivors near completed Generators Exhausted and Oblivious.

Countering Art’s mayhem is Survivor Sienna Shaw, who has a few tricks of her own. Best Gift Ever lets you drop items to gain powerful passive abilities. Whenever you take a protection hit, Shared Trauma allows all Survivors within 12m to recover from the Exhausted status while running. After being chased by the Killer, Valkyrie’s Rage lets you turn the tables by unleashing an extra-powerful pallet stun.

Arriving alongside Art and Sienna is The Hartshorne Mall, a brand-new original Map that has been long requested by the Dead by Daylight community. Littered with haunting storefronts and liminal hallways, what was once a friendly space for families to go shopping has been warped by The Entity into a dark reflection of itself.

Answering the long-standing request from the community to explore more liminal spaces in The Fog, this Map invokes a nostalgic, comforting, but also unsettling feeling as the familiar turns into the uncanny. Keen-eyed players may be able to spot some interesting lore drops for beloved Survivor Dwight Fairfield, who experienced a traumatic encounter with The Entity while lost in the mall as a child.

The Dead by Daylight: Terrifier Chapter will arrive for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.

The photo mode allows creativeness to roam within the New Dawn, with the available settings designed to allow each player to adjust them to their personal preferences.

The modern return to classic survival horror is back, this time, with an Italian neo-giallo twist. A new clue tied to the case of six missing Sicilian girls, including your missing daughter from over a year ago, reopens the investigation. Descend into a nightmare of hidden rooms, buried memories and relentless human Stalkers to rescue her while uncovering the forgotten origins and secrets of the infamous Red Nun.

You must fight back against unfathomable nightmares with more options than ever: master mirror abilities, retrocognition, hypnosis powers, and even moth manipulation? Run, hide, and fight to the death to survive horrors that lurk about while escaping a deadly family tree whose roots intertwine into your own history.

Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy features the voices of Cissy Jones (The Walking Dead, Life is Strange, Firewatch) and Maggie Robertson (Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Village), as well as a soundtrack composed by the legendary Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill, Total Chaos) and Aram Shahbazians.

Players can encounter four-legged companions while scavenging and recruit them to the shelter, with a German Shepherd, Border Collie and Golden Retriever now available. Once recruited, dogs stay in the shelter, where players can feed, pet and care for them. Neglecting their needs can prove fatal.

Dogs also bring new dynamics to shelter life. Their presence can influence survivor morale, with individual survivor traits determining whether they welcome or resent having a canine companion around. During shelter events, dogs can prove either a help or a hindrance, potentially suffering separation anxiety and damaging barricades while survivors are away, or frightening off bandits and leaving behind weapons for the group to recover.

Update 16 also introduces weapon repair mechanics and rebalanced durability, alongside overhauled shelter defences, expanding the systems players must manage to protect their group in zombie-infested Texas.

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is currently in Early Access, with the game’s full 1.0 release planned for March 2027 on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and GeForce NOW.

The teaser trailer is unlockable in the final “shift” of an Escape From Playtime run, seemingly suggesting that the gameplay in the new co-op spin-off has been working toward the actual narrative for a sixth chapter. The teaser features the voice of The Prototype, who was the main antagonist in Chapter 5. What this implies is still unclear.

Apart from the creepy imagery, there’s the obvious “2027” at the end of the teaser, indicating that we would see a Chapter 6 next year. In the meantime, the devteam is aiming to keep expanding Escape From Playtime through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027 with more content.

Escape From Playtime is available in Early Access on Steam for $9.99 USD, with a limited-time 10% launch discount. Players who own the free-to-play Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 will receive an additional 10% off.

Clarke explains, “Long story short, my publisher and I requested a time extension from Paramount which was rejected. So I basically could choose between rushing a sub-par game quickly or walking. I’m a solo dev and putting out a bad game affects me far more than a giant company so I left.”

“That issue aside,” he adds, “Paramount was nice in the process allowing me to keep what I created and we parted ways amicably. That’s why I was able to release this in the form I have.”

Playable Archive is described as a “micro horror experience” that essentially takes the same premise from the original project, but has tweaked it for obvious legal reasons. The story goes that an archive from an anonymous whistleblower has surfaced containing unexplainable events.

A New England couple stumbles upon a mysterious object during home renovations. The anonymous report claims no such object was retrieved alongside the obtained footage. However, the contact has communicated the following experiences within the archive:

• Perform demonic rituals

• Communicate with the dead

• Experience multiple timelines

The entire game runs about 30-60 minutes, with no save system, and must be played from beginning to end.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve released something new and those following my work know that the project I had been working on the past few years, set to be my next major title, was canceled,” explains Clarke. “After putting so much of myself into it and a wonderful reception at PAX earlier this year, I have to admit, I was feeling burnt out and I imagined the project would simply sit on a shelf forever. A forgotten relic of development that sat in darkness while I built up a plan for a new project.

“However, recently DreadXP reached out to me and floated the idea of maybe releasing what I had. It felt like a good way of laying the project to rest instead of remaining a lingering ghost. So, I worked to adjust the project where needed and polished up the edges to release the work I had done.

“I’m sad to say that a good deal of work was still left on the cutting room floor but I’m proud of what I am able to share and that it is going to see the light of day in some form.”

The Early Access release includes the complete Chapter I story campaign, featuring multiple explorable environments, investigation mechanics, environmental puzzles, and anomalous encounters. The sequel is in development, and is planned to continue the narrative with new locations, additional entities, and expanded gameplay. Throughout Early Access, Zatun will use community feedback to guide improvements to performance, stability, balance, and usability.

Project Pneuma puts players into the role of Dr Alexander “Alexie” Kolchak, a Foundation researcher who survives the collapse of Site-19. The institution that once studied and contained the anomalous has lost control. Its research now moves freely through the facility, and Alexie must uncover what happened while finding a way to stay alive.

Survival begins with observation. Each anomaly follows distinct rules, requiring players to recognise patterns, anticipate behaviour, and adapt their approach. Against threats including SCP-173Z, SCP-096Z, SCP-939Z, and SCP-239Z, understanding an encounter can matter more than the supplies carried into it.

Exploration, stealth, environmental puzzles, and limited resources shape the journey. Journals, voice recordings, and evidence left by Foundation personnel allow players to reconstruct the events surrounding the breach, discovering the story through the places and people it has left behind.

Taking place directly after 2002’s Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, the game sees Sam heading off to strike Mental’s Horde at its heart. The game aims to call back to the “pure, chaotic classic action” of the original games with a “burning fuse of fresh ideas”.

The environments of The Third Encounter will be “dense and vivid”, with Sam’s iconic arsenal returning with a mix of classics and vicious new toys. Players will charge into the action  and mayhem either solo, or with friends in full co-op frenzy in “pure, unfiltered bullet-hell mayhem.”

Following a successful three-week global playtest, Demo 2.0 introduces new gameplay systems and improvements shaped by community feedback. A new tutorial stage helps operatives prepare for the horrors ahead, while refined UI, customizable keyboard controls, and ongoing multiplayer optimizations aim to deliver a smoother co-op experience. Even death isn’t the end with the new MiRO robot mechanic, which lets fallen teammates continue supporting their allies, while the Offline S.O.M.A system introduces another layer of tension by activating in response to nearby noise and player actions.

In CODE EXIT, players take on the role of Hermes operatives sent into Pantheon to restore critical systems, secure hidden data, and make it back alive. Play solo or join up to three other players to explore isolated facilities, activate terminals, bypass sealed doors, and complete objectives while Minerva watches your every move. Repeat the same strategies too often, and she may learn to use them against you.

CODE EXIT will launch on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2027.

As with other cases (such as Pinhead and the first time around for Stranger Things), any content unlocked before that date will remain available to use in-game. And to further celebrate Chucky’s time in The Fog, the content of the Child’s Play Chapter will be on sale on all platforms starting on Monday, October 26, giving players one final chance to unlock the Character and Cosmetics before they leave the store.

As for Chucky’s perks, as before, if you’ve already unlocked him prior to November 24, they will remain in his bloodweb with the original names and flavour text. For those who have not unlocked Chucky, the perks will appear in the General perk pool to be available to unlock on any other Killer immediately. These General perks will get a name change, however:

• Hex: Two Can Play will be called Hex: Eye For An Eye
• Friends Til the End will be called One Track Mind
• Batteries Included will be called Gaining Steam

Introduced in the original Starship Troopers, Hopper Bugs are the fast-moving, winged counterparts to Warrior Bugs. They prey on isolated Troopers with sudden swooping attacks, grabbing victims and carrying them away. Their speed and ability to reach exposed positions make them a dangerous reminder that high ground offers little protection when the enemy can fly.

As in the film, the Hopper Bug will bring an aerial threat to the battlefield in Starship Troopers: Extermination, adding vertical combat pressure to base defense scenarios. These Bugs attack from above in tight formations, disrupting trooper lines and creating chaos. The Hopper Bug prefers to swoop down to strike isolated Troopers on high ground, carrying them into the air. Troopers must watch the skies, adapt their targeting priorities, and work together to bring them down and rescue captured teammates. But players beware: Hoppers remain a threat even in death, as their falling bodies can deal serious damage to any Trooper caught beneath.

For the full list of details on Update 13, check out the official patch notes here.

For those with cosmetics in mind, Offworld and Knights Peak have also released The Gore Supporter Pack. This new Supporter Cosmetic Pack is for Troopers who want to take a bite out of the Arachnid Menace, and look good doing it.

• Gore Weapon Skin
• Gore Helmet Visor
• Gore Uniform Palette
• Gore Nameplate: Emblem
• Gore Nameplate: Frame
• Gore Nameplate: Background
• Gore Player Banner: Medal
• Gore Player Banner: Ribbon
• Gore Player Banner: Background

Starship Troopers: Extermination is currently available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.

Running from October 26 until November 16, Halloween Showdown 2026 is a three-week community event built around monster rivalries and player choice. For starters, Villedor has transformed for Halloween, with Día de los Muertos-inspired decorations across the open world and a more traditional Halloween atmosphere in Tower Raid. Halloween-themed enemies also return, making the seasonal takeover more than just a visual change.

But the main draw is that each week, two Halloween creatures face off in a new matchup. Players hunt special enemies, collect Showdown Candies across Villedor and donate them at Baka’s Shop outside the Bazaar to support their chosen side.

By contributing to weekly goals, players can earn a collection of new Psychic weapons, while the monster that receives the most support determines the exclusive Charm available at the end of that week. Reaching both weapon goals allows players to unlock the two main rewards.

To top it off, Dying Light 2: Stay Human will also be featured in major platform promotions and special offers during the Halloween period, with discounts of up to 80%.

Dying Light 2 is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

The team explains, “When creating the Halloween (2018) mask in Halloween: The Game, our team partnered with Academy Award winner Christopher Nelson and used meticulous 3D mask film scans to ensure every last terrifying detail was captured with precision.”

The skin will launch October 27 alongside the Civilian Costumes Pack 1, two new Civilians, the Halloween 5 Farm Tower Map, and the aforementioned Michael Myers skin inspired by Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. The costume pack, two new Civilians, and both Michael Myers skins will set you back $9.99 each, while the map will be available for free.

From the creators of Oakwood and Rip Current (which also happen to involve dinosaurs) comes a new dinosaur horror experience set in the idyllic lakeside community of Sunnybrook. Set in the 1990s, Welcome to Sunnybrook puts players in the role of a burglar targeting the luxurious vacation homes of an exclusive lakeside community. Pick locks, crack safes, disable security systems, and loot the homes of the wealthy. Of course, once dinosaurs turn Sunnybrook into a hunting ground, you getting rich takes a back seat to getting out alive.

Focusing on exploration, stealth, and survival, you have no weapons to rely on. As a result, players must sneak past prehistoric predators, find places to hide, and outsmart their pursuers whenever possible. Explore the community’s homes, streets, school, and local businesses as you search for a way to escape.

In fact, that console content patch equivalent to the Steam 1.1 update is now live. The Steam demo also recently received an update, which includes significant gameplay and movement improvements, save transfer fixes, various audio and music adjustments, and more.

In the game, players take on the role of Aidan, who must unlock the dark powers of a mysterious puzzle box known as the Genesis Configuration in order to help his girlfriend from a hellish abyss. As Aidan, you’ll harness the box’s infernal abilities to survive your pact with the sinister Pinhead and battle against the twisted cult that worships him and the Cenobites.

And if you haven’t already read Harrison’s review (which features in the accolades trailer, by the way), you can check it out to see just how debauched the game really is.

This update also brings rebalanced Escalation Therapy progression, a new high-difficulty Variator, and a Favorites feature for customization menus, alongside additional gameplay adjustments and fixes.

The new Community Event “Escape The Facility” sees players searching for Escape Intel Schematics in order to leave the Trials with them in their inventory. Every phase of the Community Event unlocks exclusive rewards for participating players, while reaching each milestone phase will get you one step closer to the possibility of Escape.

Meanwhile, the new Limited-Time Event runs through December 8th, and sees players participating in Program “Geister”, an experiment in convergent hallucinatory therapy designed to amplify unforeseen side effects of the Trials. Surviving subjects will learn to contribute to a morally hygienic Trial Environment through biohazard collection, with secondary objectives to complete for extra rewards.

A brand new Geister Catalog is also available for the duration of the event. Players can spend their acquired Geister Event Tokens in the Catalog to unlock exclusive rewards. Once the event concludes, the Catalog will be removed and any unused Event Tokens will be forfeited.

The update also includes several additions, fixes and balancing tweaks:

• The “Geister 2025” Catalog is now available for purchase in the Murkoff Store.

Alongside the game’s full launch, the full soundtrack for Stupid Never Dies is also available on all streaming services. Also available is the TickTock Teddies: Nonsense Overload Pack DLC, which can be purchased separately, or as part of the Stupid Never Dies: Glorious Idiot Edition deluxe version.

“After nearly three years bringing life (or should that be death?) to Davy, we couldn’t be happier to finally share Stupid Never Dies with the world,” says President of GPTRACK50 Hiroyuki Kobayashi. “As a new studio that has come together out of our passion and love for action games, being able to bring the genre we love to fellow action game fans is an achievement we hold in high esteem. We are truly grateful to everyone who has wishlisted the game, played the demo, and left feedback to help us improve the experience – we couldn’t have done it without you. We hope you enjoy Davy’s story, and have a stupid amount of fun!”

In the aftermath of the Great War, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction and monsters rule the land. At the bottom rung of this society is Davy, a lowly zombie scraping by in a deserted shopping mall. One day, he discovers the human girl Julia frozen to death in a freezer…and falls in love at first sight. Motivated by his newfound crush, Davy finds his purpose in undeath: to bring Julia back to life, then to ask her out.

The devteam plans to keep expanding Escape From Playtime through the remainder of 2026 and into 2027, adding new areas, enemies, items, cosmetics, and gameplay features. The Early Access roadmap will evolve with community feedback, letting players help shape the game’s future.

“With Escape From Playtime, we wanted to explore a lesser-known chapter of Playtime Co.’s history and give players a completely new perspective on this world,” said Brandon James, Game Director at Mob Entertainment. “For longtime fans, there are plenty of familiar faces and lore connections to discover, but we’ve also deliberately made this an experience that newcomers can jump into and enjoy without knowing anything about Poppy Playtime. It’s a new way into the story, no matter where you’re starting from.”

In Escape From Playtime, each run sends teams into a dynamically changing section of the facility to find and transport resources for a mysterious sanctuary being promised for toys who prove their loyalty and usefulness. Simple enough, except the factory is filled with rejected Playtime Co. creations stalking the halls. Players must search quickly, choose when to split up or stick together, and know when to retreat.

Along the way, players can solve puzzles, uncover clues, scavenge tools, use hiding spots and alternate routes, and turn the factory layout to their advantage. Proximity voice chat adds another risk: communication is essential, but an irresponsible whisper can bring the mission to a brutal end.

Escape From Playtime is available in Steam Early Access for $9.99 USD, with a limited-time 10% launch discount. Players who own the free-to-play Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 will receive an additional 10% off.

For those uninitiated, you can check out Harrison’s preview of the game.

The new trailer offers players their first taste of Mercer’s unsettling performance, alongside a fresh look at the corporate nightmare awaiting them.

Meanwhile, in addition to Steam, Mr Magpie’s Harmless Card Game is coming to the Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch 2. The game will also be available with Xbox Game Pass Day One, with support for Xbox Play Anywhere.

Mr Magpie’s Harmless Card Game is hosted by a deranged puppet with a very warped performance management program. You are trapped in Mr Magpie’s workplace, where your only choice is to earn cash and climb the corporate ladder. Flip cards, stack your deck, exploit strange synergies, and push your luck for bigger payouts.

Flip cards, use hints to avoid dangerous JERRY cards, exploit strange synergies, and get filthy rich. Just make your quota before closing time… or else.

Currently, you can check out the game’s demo during Steam Next Fest.

With multiple endings, and many routes to take, will you decide to take a pacifist approach? Or will you end up falling victim to the dog’s bidding? With coins to collect and the backend of the game to be peeled back, there is more than meets the eye.

Inspired by the mood and structure of System Shock 2, Alien Resurrection, and Doom 3, DERELIKT leans into the dread of being under-equipped, out of your depth, and very far from help. Set aboard the bustling Von Neumann Outpost – a remote research station built into a derelict asteroid in Saturn’s orbit – things are starting to go a little awry. The halls are now dark, systems are failing, and the few survivors left inside aren’t telling the same story.

Players will explore the secrets of the outpost as they search for supplies, solve environmental puzzles, and unlock new routes. You’ll also interact with dozens of NPCs, each with their own agenda and view of the events taking place. Some may be useful, some may be dangerous, some may be doomed, and some may be all three. It’s up to you to uncover what’s really going on, but be warned: The station grows more and more dangerous the deeper you go, and the evil that lurks in the shadows isn’t going down quietly.

Thankfully, you have access to an arsenal of traditional and alien weapons that make for tense and breakneck gameplay inspired by claustrophobic PS1-era sci-fi horror. Ammo, health, and inventory space matter, and every shot has a cost.

The release is punctuated with a brand new trailer that features a mix of in-game and cinematic footage.

The event is a non-canon celebration of everything Dead Space, and will run from October 20th through November 10th, with development led by Motive, the same folks who brought us the 2023 remake. Players will experience a PvE take on Rush with Marker Incursion, featuring environments, weapons, cosmetics and even gameplay mechanics adapted from Dead Space.

There are also the expected cosmetics, both free and paid, with the highlight being the Aegis VII soldier skin, which bears a resemblance to Isaac’s Advanced Engineer RIG suit, as well as a DS-23 Pulse Rifle, which again has a resemblance to Isaac’s Plasma Cutter.

Battlefield 6 is available on PC, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. Meanwhile, Motive EA’s Dead Space remake can be found on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
