This brutal new episode builds on MachineGames’ critically-acclaimed work on their previous Quake episodes, Dimension of the Machine and Dimension of the Past. Delivering ferocious combat, labyrinthine level design, and nightmarish realms that “twist reality beyond recognition”.

The story for the episode sees Ranger trapped in a dimension of endless illusion, reliving the same violent cycles for what feels like lifetimes, dying thousands of times in a futile attempt to escape. Wearied but unbroken, he has heard rumor of The Nightmare Machine. Beyond the hordes of monsters, twisted by an eternity in the Elder realms, lies the Machine. It is believed its destruction will shatter the illusion, finally breaking the loop.

In order to combat new enemies and variants of old foes, players will have access to new weapons. The expansion also includes a new soundtrack, new deathmatch maps, and achievements.

That’s not all, as MachineGames has crafted the expansion to focus on replayability. The idea of the time loop story allows for players to revisit levels in order to find new content. Revisiting a level will open up new paths, new secrets, and new upgrades.

The Quake remaster is available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and PC via Steam and GOG.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 drops up to four players into the boots of Colonial Marines deployed to the most hostile corners of the Alien universe. This is not a rescue mission – it’s a fight for survival. Xenomorphs stalk the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in overwhelming numbers. Every room could be your last.

You must coordinate with your fireteam, utilizing each class’s unique abilities, and adapt on the fly as encounters escalate from tense standoffs to all-out war. Fireteam Elite 2 will feature deeper squad mechanics, smarter enemies, and a “fully customizable Specialist class” that lets players mix and match major and minor abilities from every available class into one Marine. Build a loadout tailored to your exact playstyle and fill whatever role your squad needs.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 with the announcement that the game will launch on August 25 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game will be available in two editions: the Digital Standard Edition, and the 40th Anniversary Premium Edition.

Titled “Severing Fates”, the trailer explores Yasui Konpiragu Shrine, a sacred place known for granting wishes, but not always in the ways you might hope. In the game, a Genma called Rasho-gan preys on pilgrims, twisting visitors’ desires to take their body parts for himself. Players can look forward to dueling this multi-armed monster as protagonist Miyamoto Mushashi, wielding the samurai’s Oni Gauntlet and deep arsenal of combat abilities in an intense boss battle.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural in cutting-edge combat. The game takes place in Kyoto during the early Edo period. Fusing history and myth, the story follows the journey of Miyamoto Musashi, a samurai armed with a mystical Oni Gauntlet, as he battles demons invading Edo-period Kyoto.

Look for Onimusha: Way of the Sword when it launches on September 4 for PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Pre-orders are available now.

“The Nintendo Switch 2 version is another historic debut for us, and we worked diligently to ensure the Complete Edition was the same player-first experience for Nintendo fans after they’ve waited so long,” said Jiwon Choi, Director of Lies of P. “Lies of P is a testament to the hardwork and dedication put in by our development team, and we are grateful to our community for their support as we continue to shape the future of the franchise.”

In addition to the digital version of the game, NEOWIZ has teamed up with iam8bit on a collection of physical releases for Lies of P: Complete Edition.

To prep for the full game, you can take the demo that’s available now for a spin, which allows you to explore one area of the town, the farm and ranch, the first dungeon (the local mall), and several additional locations.

Everything in Elderfield is unsettling, from the haunting, horror manga-inspired visuals to the dark, lofi soundscapes composed by Dated. Despite the strange creatures lurking just outside your home, those who wander into Elderfield rarely find a reason… or option, to leave.

As one would expect, you’ll have plenty to do in Elderfield (this is a farming sim, after all). Cultivate your land, harvest your crops, and stop the growth of unruly tentacles. Manage a variety of strange, otherworldly livestock, grow useful crops like corn, pumpkins, teeth or eyeballs, and hope that beings from the woods don’t wander onto your farm. You can also customize your home and character, befriend the odd townsfolk (or even marry one), go fishing, spend your afternoons mining, or forage through the surrounding wilds.

For those who prefer a relaxing horror sim (odd as that may sound), you can choose the cozy difficulty, which offers a more laid-back experience. For those who crave a challenge, you can bump up the difficulty to better engage the Old Gods.

Speaking of which, Welcome to Elderfield also features a deep turn-based combat system, where you must utilize gathered resources, strategic buffs and your equipment to survive encounters with ancient, Lovecraftian horrors.

Those looking for something extra can also spring for the newly-revealed Deluxe Edition of Crimson Moon, which will offer players access to the Ceremonial Armor Set and the Axe of the Gods weapon cosmetic, along with an upcoming expansion for Crimson Moon that will be released at a later date.

“We’ve made Crimson Moon an intense action-adventure RPG that’s approachable to players.

Crimson Moon is a gothic high renaissance action-adventure RPG built around intense, replayable missions. Players take on the role of the Nephilim, ruthless human-angel hybrids forged to defend humanity. They’re immersed in a blood-soaked power fantasy as they battle their way through the besieged city of Gildenarch using combat that blends brutal precision with deep character progression.

The game is built for either solo or co-op play, with solo slayers getting a satisfying single-player experience, and co-op turning every encounter into a “shared onslaught of power and resilience.” Players who are strong and skilled enough to fight through three districts of Gildenarch in a row will face a world boss. These epic foes will test players’ mastery of their abilities. Only by defeating the three world bosses can players face the hellish final boss.

Combining horror elements, grotesque humor, and retro PS1-style graphics, Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator has players arrive in the foggy town of Grimshore and open their own hot dog shop. Things are a real struggle to keep the business running while also securing your products.

During the day, you’ll be grilling the sausages, slicing the buns, frying up the potatoes, and doing the good entrepreneurial work your customers expect. Keep customers happy, keep the money coming, and reinvest in your growing fast food empire. At night, you’ll need to stock up on ingredients for hot dogs and other products. That involves dipping into Grimshore’s graveyard. Head out after dark, source some fresh ingredients, and get them back to the shop before opening time.

In amongst the side quests, the main plot sees you uncovering the stories of Grimshore, which the town would rather keep buried. You’ll also be digging into your own character’s past, though you may not like what you find down there.

Gather 2 to 4 friends, strap in, and prove your life is worth more than theirs in this collection of borderline illegal and extraordinarily violent party games. Featurng an industrial soundtrack composed by Alex Peipman, Machine Party takes classic party game formats and gives them deadly twists, turning friendly competition into something far less friendly, but always hilarious. Across 15 unique minigames set within the Klubnika universe, players will jump between split-second reflex challenges, calculated decision-making, and social situations where trust doesn’t last long and betrayal is always an option.

Each minigame throws players into increasingly absurd and dangerous challenges where cooperation, competition, and betrayal are all viable strategies.

For more absurdity, you’re able to customize your test subject with a variety of cosmetics.

Players in No Vacancy step into the shoes of Nancy, a hard-edged investigative reporter whose journey to the town of Crestfall takes an unexpected turn. Stranded without directions or a GPS signal, she arrives at the remote Paradise Motel just as daylight begins to disappear. What initially appears to be an inconvenient stop soon becomes an investigation into the motel’s dark history, and whatever may be hiding beneath it.

No Vacancy is the first entry in Dead Stop, a new anthology of short, standalone horror games inspired by classic horror stories and unsettling places. In this case, the game takes inspiration from 80s slasher films.

Rather than relying on cutscenes to tell its story, No Vacancy‘s has the player discover the story through the various objects you examine in the game. As such, you’ll also be dealing with various environmental puzzles built around the motel’s dark history. Completing the vibe is the game’s throwback graphics, which don’t quite have the typical PS1-era aesthetic, but it’s enough to give you that old-school feel.

Ahead of the game’s launch, you can also check out the demo via the Steam page.

In 1666: Amsterdam, Noa Brooklyn is the heir to an ancient lineage of Zaindaris tasked with hunting down The Originals. Meanwhile, Aaron is mysteriously summoned 300 years into the past and trapped inside the body of a cat. Bound together across centuries, the two must work as one to uncover hidden truths and confront an ancient force threatening the balance of the world.

Set to launch into Early Access on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, 1666: Amsterdam centres around the eponymous city that was built on wealth, power, and sheer will, but now fuelled by a sinister force it did not forge. Entities known as The Originals have lived for centuries, granted time, granted power, and the freedom to abuse both. That power is now owed. Noa Brooklyn was born The Collector, raised by the Zaindaris for a purpose she did not choose: taking that power back.

As was mentioned previously, the Thorner demo features 10-15 minutes of “terror, dread and suspense”, with three possible endings based on your psychometrics. The full game will expand upon this, with the ending you receive being based on the choices you make regarding Colin’s thoughts, words, and actions.

The demo will also feature an atmospheric soundtrack, with demo-exclusive tracks. And of course, the demo sports plenty of weird, grotesque nature-based horror “that will make you think twice about going for a walk in the woods.”

In Thorner, you are Colin Snead, a military veteran. Haunted by your time in the service, you flee to the Scottish wilderness attempting to leave your past behind. However, you will find that spilled blood is not easily forgiven, and you are not alone. The land knows what you did. The land judges. Thorner awaits.

In Mimic, players must escape the crumbling Icarus spacecraft while rooting out who amongst them is secretly a mimic: an alien creature that can disguise itself as a fellow human survivor. Players must solve various objectives to create their escape route while surviving against two sinister threats pursuing them. Meanwhile, as the titular Mimic, you’ll hunt from the shadows, hiding beneath the flesh of a friend. With five players in online matchmaking and up to ten in customizable private lobbies, Mimic aims to blend tense survival, social deduction, and dynamic mechanics into a highly replayable multiplayer experience.

Unlike other asymmetrical multiplayer horror games that pit survivors against a sole antagonist, players in Mimic are assigned secret roles that dictate their win conditions. Crew members must repair the ship’s vital systems and identify the alien threat before it’s too late. Meanwhile, the player assigned the agent role has ulterior motives of the corporate kind unbeknownst to the rest of the crew that doesn’t prioritize their survival. Lastly, the sole purpose of the mimic, is to blend in, gain trust, and strike when survivors are most vulnerable. But the mimic isn’t the only threat at play: an NPC android roams the halls of the Icarus, indiscriminately hunting all organic lifeforms who could be the mimic in disguise.

Making things even more interesting is the fact that players do not have weapons, and must rely on their wits and survival instincts. Whether with pure intent or selfish gain in mind, players have the power to influence the android’s pursuit, sabotage escape efforts, and sow chaos amongst the ranks.

In addition to PC, Mimic will also launch for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series once the game exits Early Access next year.

Original Tormented Souls protagonist Caroline Walker returns after her ordeal at Wildberger Hospital. Yearning for a normal life, Caroline is dealt another bad hand when her sister Anna falls victim to a mysterious affliction. When conventional remedies prove ineffective, Caroline looks to the supernatural and an ancient, forbidden ritual for a cure, leading her to the remote South-American community of Puerto Miller.

Founded centuries ago by the secretive Ismuit tribe, Puerto Miller is home to the aforementioned minor religious order that spurned connection with the outside world. As these things go, beneath the town’s crumbling façade lies an ancient, unspeakable horror.

Fortunately, Caroline will have a greatly expanded range of weapons at her disposal. Caroline can also take advantage of the new quick select feature that allows her to switch weapons in the heat of battle, as well as new upgrade components to further strengthen her arsenal.

The footage revolves around never-before-seen gameplay captured in the Arkham Fish Market, once a bustling waterfront hub alive with merchants, dockworkers, fishermen, and travelers. Today, it stands as a decaying monument to the evacuated city. Rusting ships sit abandoned in the harbor, empty storefronts line the flooded halls, and the workshops that once supported the local fleets have long since fallen silent. Eldritch monstrosities now stalk the market’s walkways, while only the most unhinged survivors remain, as the flood seeps further and further into their minds.

The footage also offers a closer look at protagonist Calvin Rafferty in combat, showcasing more advanced weapons and the tougher encounters awaiting players as they face larger, deadlier, and increasingly unpredictable horrors.

Frogwares has also confirmed that The Sinking City 2 will include a fully featured New Game+ mode at launch, giving players even more reasons to return to Arkham after completing the main story. As one would expect, New Game+ lets players carry over all their perk points, perks and items to the start of the game to better take on a range of challenges to unlock certain achievements as well as unlock various cosmetic and gameplay rewards.

Alongside the announcement, the team confirmed that its planned HDR patch is now part of the game’s free post-launch support. As development enters its final stretch, the studio has prioritized completing the core game and launch features, with the HDR update following shortly afterward.

The Sinking City 2 launches August 18 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Pre-orders are now open.

If that’s not enough, you can even get a taste for what’s to come with the newly-launched demo on Steam.

In Slain 2: The Beast Within, players take up the blade as Prince Akran, last of the Wolf Knights, bound to a curse that grants the strength and savagery of the Beast. Under the light of the full moon, Akran can transform into a monstrous werewolf, tearing through enemies with unmatched ferocity. Lord Vroll’s corruption has spread across the land, and only fire, steel, and a whole lot of metal riffs can stop it.

Embark on three interwoven journeys to recover ancient relics of immense power: The Eye, The Heart, and The Dagger. Each quest offers distinct environments, enemies, and challenges, from storm-lashed fortresses to spectral coastlines and the abyss itself. Lord Vroll’s dominion is protected by champions of nightmare, abyssal warlocks, vengeful witches, and creatures born of darkness. Every major encounter tests not just your skill, but your resolve.

Cut down your foes with a mix of heavy melee strikes, well-timed counterattacks, and devastating elemental powers from the sword Bathoryn. Switch between fire, ice, and raw magical force to adapt your approach to each monstrous foe. If that’s not enough, you can harness the power, and the danger, of the full moon. Transform into a towering werewolf mid-battle, ripping through enemies with speed, strength, and brutal claw attacks. You’ll need to master the balance between your human and beast forms to survive the most dangerous encounters.

“With BeastLink we are trying to do something very new,” explains the devteam. “There are three levels of gameplay asymmetry: on foot, in vehicles, and as a Beast kaiju. We’re finding a ton of interesting ways to make this really exciting, but we are in unexplored territory with this level of scale and destruction. We know it’s only possible to find the best experiences by involving the larger community as a true part of our development cycle.

Additionally, our studio is small and independent. We’ve invested a good portion of our lives to making the technology that makes this game possible. The Early Access release allows our small studio to remain independent while maintaining full creative control. Our goal is to have the best possible game at launch – which cannot be done without you, our community members, who will help us realize this vision and make the ultimate kaiju game.”

BeastLink sees the world in ruins, with humanity living in shattered strongholds, and colossal creatures ruling what’s left. Humanity’s survival depends on the very technology that ended everything. You must fight your way through war-torn urban cities, amass the coveted serum, and use it to Link with the dormant Kaiju to unleash the ultimate weapon. Ultimately, you must uncover the truth behind the world-ending outbreak, and the cost of keeping humanity alive.

Play as both human and the colossal creatures across multiple game modes, either solo or with other players. You’ll be able to deploy vehicles like cars, helicopters, tanks and aircrafts to unleash chaos. Thanks to the game’s proprietary “SuperDestruction” destruction system, everything can be destroyed.

In the video, the team discusses using new protagonist Dylan Faden to expand the Control universe, rather than simply repeating original Control protagonist Jesse Faden’s story. “When we were concepting Control for the first time, one of the key statements that we had, together with [Remedy Creative Director Sam Lake], was that it is a game that is not about the single protagonist,” explains Control Resonant Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen. “It is about the world.”

“As you step into this world, we’re witnessing it through a lens of a protagonist. The protagonist can change in every game, basically.”

In Control Resonant, players take on the role of Dylan Faden (voiced by Sean Durrie), who will explore multiple areas of Manhattan in an expansive, unfamiliar world as an invading cosmic force reshapes the environment, defiles natural law and distorts gravity, reordering reality into a geophysical nightmare. Players will traverse perception-bending locations and journey beyond the material world into a mysterious metaphysical space reflecting Faden’s troubled psyche.

You must tap into power that Dylan must learn to master and make choices to shape abilities that manifest and grow while exploring a deep progression system. Face ever-changing threats head-on, utilizing the environment, unleashing elemental abilities and wielding the raw force Dylan’s shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant.

Control Resonant launches September 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

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.

In RUNT, players step into the shoes of Runt Strayer, the 19-year-old youngest of five brothers, the last surviving sons of a dead cult leader who once called himself the Mouth of God. On the fifth anniversary of their father’s death, the brothers discover a horrific message written in blood across their boarded-up church pulpit: 5 Days. With the town of Skipclaw sealed behind protective walls and humanity no longer the apex predator, Runt must investigate the omen before the fifth day arrives, and choose who to accuse.

Skipclaw is a town in isolation. After a mysterious apocalyptic event cloaked the world in darkness, horrific creatures emerged and replaced humans as the dominant predators. To survive, the townspeople must stay in the light, cover their skin, and hide their faces behind masks. Inside the walls, safety is precarious, suspicion is constant, and the Strayer family, architects of the town’s defenses, sit at the center of it all. Dialogue choices build hidden stats that influence how characters respond to you and which clues reveal themselves. The kind of person you become will determine which truths you’re able to uncover, and which ones you’ll never know.

Sporting a branching narrative experience, you’ll gather clues by speaking to townspeople, interrogating your brothers, and navigating the politics of survival. The order of conversations, the questions asked, and the conclusions drawn will all shape the outcome at the end. Over five days, you will investigate every brother and their secrets, build or fracture relationships with masked townsfolk, survive in a world haunted by otherworldly creatures, and decide who is responsible. On the final day, after choosing a culprit, you’ll see one of the game’s dozen endings.

The 40th Anniversary Premium Edition includes the base game and the following DLC that draws from the broader Alien universe. The DLC is also available as a $19.99 upgrade for players who purchased the Digital Standard Edition. Here’s what you get:

Ripley’s Hive Exterminator Pack includes an exclusive cosmetic outfit themed to Ellen Ripley’s appearance near the dramatic climax of 1986’s classic, Aliens. All player-created characters can wear the outfit, adding a visual homage to one of cinema’s most iconic characters. Players can also exclusively wield Ripley’s modified pulse rifle, featuring a fiery surprise and further customize their marine with exclusive decals and more.

Herk Mondo’s Pest Pack draws inspiration from the over-the-top comic-book hero. It includes an appropriately wild outfit, perfect for taking on xenomorphic threats – and anything else that gets in the way of the thrill-seeking badass. It also includes an exclusive weapon, Herk Mondo’s massive, modified pulse rifle and a host of decals and other elements to make customizable characters stand apart from the pack.

Additionally, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 players can bring Alien: Romulus to the game via the Rain’s Jackson’s Star Pack, available to all editions on August 25 for $9.99. The pack includes an outfit based on Rain Carradine, the protagonist from the 2024 film. It also includes Rain’s specially modified pulse rifle, featuring a deadly cryoweapon as an underbarrel bonus. It’s an effective way to immobilize (and shatter) rampaging enemies, highlighting AFE2’s new element-based weapon mods. Players can also further customize their marine with a variety of special decals and enhancements.

Once again, up to four players in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 can suit up as members of the Colonial Marines. This is not a rescue mission—it’s a fight for survival. Xenomorphs stalk the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in overwhelming numbers. You must coordinate with your fireteam, utilizing each class’s unique abilities, and adapt on the fly as encounters escalate from tense standoffs to all-out war.

Fireteam Elite 2 will feature deeper squad mechanics, smarter enemies, and a “fully customizable Specialist class” that lets players mix and match major and minor abilities from every available class into one Marine. Build a loadout tailored to your exact playstyle and fill whatever role your squad needs.

The game will also launch with multiple dedicated Horde maps that will push squads to their limits. Teams will battle through escalating waves of xenomorphs and other deadly enemies, earning increasingly valuable rewards as they survive deeper into the onslaught.

Shift at Midnight is an online co-op title for up to 3 players, where you and your friends work together across randomly generated shifts to investigate their customers at a local gas station. Managing a gas station is tough work, as you’ll need to keep your stock shelves full and sell enough products to meet your quota each night, take deliveries and keep your store tidy.

At the same time, you’ll need to interrogate each customer as you serve – as some are not human and are in fact doppelgangers.To do so, you may ask each customer five questions, examine their ID, cross-check their details in the computer, and observe their behaviour.

If you miss one doppelganger, they will return later that shift to try and kill you and your friends. To prevent this, you must take the obvious route and execute them on site. If you mess up, be prepared to set traps, barricade the doors and hide as the doppelgangers return as monsters.

Project Cloud Games’ ambition is to create an action-oriented, dark fantasy RPG with in-game support systems and gameplay focused on fast-paced combat with 80 punishing boss fights. To facilitate the action, stamina is never depleted when attacking, leaving it reserved for defence and dodging.

Skills operate on cooldowns, without the need to worry about consumption of resources. This direction allows each player to adapt to their own playstyle and rhythm, seamlessly blending combat flow. Rather than traditional levelling systems and gaining experience points, progression comes from equipment, crafting, Relic powers, and build customisations.

The Relic: First Guardian takes place on the fictitious continent of Arsiltus. You are the First Guardian, charged with embarking on a heroic adventure to save the world. The once-prosperous Arsiltus was swallowed up by the void created by the destruction of the great relic and transformed into the land of death. Now your mission is to find the pieces of the broken great relic and close the void.

Look for  The Relic: First Guardian on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on July 31, while versions for the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2 are expected later this year.

Welcome to Carrion City, an 80s fever dream where neon lights bounce off wet asphalt, and everyone looks guilty even when they are not. You are Detective Dick Slater, a burned-out veteran trying to keep his sanity while chasing a killer, the eponymous Skin Stapler. The Skin Stapler primarily targets young women in their homes and workplaces, skins them, and staples their flesh to nearby walls, leaving behind grotesque displays and distorted audio tapes that taunt the police and hint at something deeper going on beneath the city.

In addition to Slater, you’ll also get to play as a full cast of characters as they are stalked by the killer.

Focusing on story and atmosphere, each character perspective adds context, contrast, and emotional weight to the investigation. It’s complimented by the creeping tension, unsettling imagery and the aforementioned audio tapes that you will not want to listen to alone.

Announced way back in 2010, ASYLUM is the spiritual successor to the 2006 cult title, Scratches. The game is crafted in the grindhouse style of 80s horror (including its soundtrack) and drawing inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft’s stories, the iconic gothic style of Hammer Films, and the twisted horror legacy of Lucio Fulci.

Players take on the role of a former patient of the Hanwell Mental Institute, who is haunted by unsettling visions as they explore the decaying mental institution. You must explore the intricate layout of the building, research its past history, and march towards a shocking conclusion. Rather than relying on constant jump scares, the game builds tension through its oppressive setting, its haunting soundtrack inspired by classic 80s horror films and the work of John Carpenter, and a narrative “carefully crafted over 15 years of development.”

Ghost hunters can prepare for a refreshed investigation experience with the reworked Willow map, adding a host of new paranormal interactions, objects, and hiding spaces. As with the most recent overhaul to 6 Tanglewood Drive, Willow retains an almost identical layout but features redesigned rooms, including a reconfigured basement layout, bringing the gameplay experience up to the team’s current development standards.

The reworked rooms include an art studio, home gym and entertainment room, replacing the bedroom, garage and basement previously featured in the haunted house. Alongside these visual updates, curious players will be able to uncover new lore hidden throughout Willow, piecing together a story waiting to be discovered.

“As part of the 13 Willow Street rework we’re continuing our approach to storytelling in Phasmophobia and developing the game’s narrative,” said Anastatia Dukakis, Senior Narrative Designer at Kinetic Games. “It’s always exciting to see the community make new discoveries together and we love seeing everyone share their theories and thoughts on the lore behind in-game locations.”

Players will also be tasked to correctly identify (and survive) 50 ghosts as part of map’s challenge, awarding the Sun Seeker ID set upon completion. Players can also unlock the Cool Cat ID card and badge for the first week after launch, by watching 2 hours of Phasmophobia streams.

Meanwhile, the major update accompanying the map rework is inspired by community feedback following the Player Character Update, and reflects Kinetic Games’ ongoing commitment to delivering the level of quality players expect before Phasmophobia leaves Early Access.

The update introduces a range of changes helping to refine the gameplay experience with refreshed animations allowing for smoother and quicker movements, and changes to evidence collection for a more seamless experience, and ghost hunters might also face a new presence lurking in the shadows…

New keybinds have also been added with players now able to use 1,2,3 and 4 for changing inventory slots alongside wider accessibility tweaks. For an overview of all the fixes landing in-game, you can check out the blog post here.

Phasmophobia is available in Early Access on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2, and the Xbox Series.

“We want to thank you all for your support, especially everyone who participated in our internal playtest and helped ensure the demo ran smoothly across a wide variety of PC configurations,” explains the team in a new update on Steam. “To celebrate, we’re hosting a giveaway on our official Discord server, where two lucky winners will receive a key for the game when it launches in Early Access. To participate, complete the demo and post a screenshot in the designated channel. Submit your entry by July 27th.”

Set in a cursed frontier where faith clashes with damnation and once-living towns collapse into nightmares, The Dark West is a gritty action RPG shaped by greed, black magic, and the belief that power always comes at a price. The land bears the curse of people who got too greedy, and paid the price for what they were willing to do for it.

Two sides have risen from the ruin. The Order speaks of justice and wears it like armor, unwilling to see the rot growing among its own. Meanwhile, The Damned are already claimed by black magic, cursed and unapologetic about what it has made of them. The real danger is not what waits in the dark, but who’s standing behind you when the killing begins.

Players will choose characters shaped by difficult pasts, where violence settles most questions, and the rest are answered by choices that haunt your soul. In keeping with the Wild West theme, alcohol will give you strength, but at the obvious cost of dulling your senses, requiring you to weigh your options in battle.

Described as friendslop (in a nice way), DREGS lets players take on the role of expendable clones sent aboard abandoned deep-space facilities to recover salvage on behalf of a mysterious, unreasonably generous client. The relics in question are less “ancient artifact” and more random remnants of a civilization long-gone, like rubber ducks, plush toys, or scented candles, but nobody on the crew is paid enough to ask why they matter.

Each salvaging expedition combines tense exploration, unpredictable environmental hazards, cooperative puzzle-solving, and encounters with unspeakable horrors through the chaos of a eight-person crew of clones whose greed and judgment rarely point the same direction.

Exploring derelict space stations in pursuit of long-abandoned relics is dangerous work, with death lurking around every corner. Not to worry, as every expendable clone lost to a bad decision, an environmental hazard, or a teammate’s “accidental” betrayal is simply replaced by another, letting each mission’s disasters escalate a little further than the last.

DREGS is the first release from the newly independent T-Minus Zero Entertainment. Originally founded in August 2023 as a AAA studio under NetEase Games, the studio was closed two years later, only for four members of its leadership team to immediately reboot T-Minus Zero as an independent, project-based production company, with DREGS as a result.

“Nine months ago, T-Minus Zero was forced to shut down by our parent company. But we weren’t done,” said Zachary (Zac) Beaudoin, CEO of T-Minus Zero Entertainment. “We rebooted the studio and immediately started work on a new co-op game. Now we are delighted to share DREGS with the world.”

Creep through the throes of youth as a nine-year-old boy in 2006, awakening at 3:00 a.m. while his family is asleep. Slink around his childhood home as some unknown force coaxes him out of bed, pulling him to roam the halls in the dead of night. Feel every pace with the weight of a spectral overseer behind him, compelling him to “T.W.I.R.L.” — whatever that means — with one caveat: Don’t tell anybody.

Protect a secret for life in a story told through P.T.-inspired loops that change both child and home. Bear the untold weight of navigating adolescence as he grows up to make a massive, life-changing revelation. Open the door to self-reflection in an exploratory walk through the haunted nostalgia of 2006, where anyone noticing you – even yourself – means death.

“Our movements, habits, and secrets shape our identities, especially as children,” said Ben Escobar, founder of Genie Boy Games. “Secretive turned-subconscious rituals can define us without us even knowing. While most walking simulators are often preoccupied with an end destination, T.W.I.R.L. is meant to ask: who are we in between, through each step towards something we actively keep secret?”

Ahead of the game’s release, you can also check out the demo on Steam.

Nightmare Shift is centered on night-shift workers at a motel. Players take on the role of Emma, whose everyday life grows increasingly unsettling. Between handling unsettling guests and navigating eerie events, Emma’s apartment life is not much better. Experiences the unease of being watched and question what’s real as the line between reality and nightmare blurs.

Players will navigate the daily tasks of Emma’s job and home life, only to realize that routine can be a mask for something far more sinister. You’ll encounter individuals whose motives are unclear, with each interaction bringing you closer to the truth—or deeper into paranoia. Who can you trust when everyone seems suspicious?

Drawing on films in the style of Lee Kwon‘s 2018 Korean film Door Lock, among others. Completing the game takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, and offers different endings based on the player’s choices.

The story for Nature of Dread that’s been revealed so far sees players awaken in the classified settlement of Hellhole in the northern forests. Built as humanity’s final defense in a war that has raged for over a millennium, the settlement was designed to contain an ancient evil. As these things go, in a desperate attempt to stop said evil, people tried to contain it, isolate it, and study it.

Ultimately, the military stepped in to do their usual cover-up routine, sealing the borders of the settlement off from the outside world and denying access. Unfortunately, things that were buried tend to have a habit of rising to the surface. Now you’ve been thrust into this centuries-old conflict, where you must decide how far you’re willing to go to protect what truly matters to you.

You’ll be facing off against the spawn of primordial evil, where these creatures learn, adapt, form packs, and change tactics the moment they sense your next move. Luckily, you’ll have plenty of weapons with which to fight these monstrosities, with the devs touting the game having a realistic weaponry system. Of course, since this is a survival horror title, you’ll need to be smart about your gear choices and manage your resources carefully in order to survive.

“DREADMOOR is a mash-up of our two favorite things – movies and fishing,” said Rostislav Fedorov, CEO of Dream Dock. “This demo will offer the deepest dive yet into what DREADMOOR has to offer, and with the valuable feedback we collect from our community, we will make the game even better.”

Set for release later this year on Steam, DREADMOOR sees players set out in a rickety fishing boat across a plague-ravaged bayou, where the Sea Blight has twisted all forms of life and developed a new, dangerous ecosystem. Scavenge for supplies amidst the wreckage of doomed vessels, and craft specialized fishing gear to hunt the vicious denizens of Submerged Lands. Beware, though: for a big enough fish, anything looks like a meal – including you.

Fill up the ship’s hold with precious predatory fish, then sell them to Gill and Bozur at the local tackle shop – it’s hard to miss, perched on a set of behemoth crab legs. Or dissect the catch and use valuable parts to fashion more advanced bait, then fuel up the ship and head out on the water to seek ever more dangerous prey.

Coupled with passive effects picked up along the way, these skill and weapon combos will directly alter your combat style to fit your flow.

The Relic: First Guardian takes place on the fictitious continent of Arsiltus. You are the First Guardian, charged with embarking on a heroic adventure to save the world.

For those who missed it, Grobnopolis | Last Days continues and expands the story of Bananadevjeff’s itch.io hit Funeralopolis, and casts players as an apartment block caretaker in 1983 Huta-Grobno. You find fragile comfort in keeping things running smoothly while the city curdles into panic. When the locals begin to whisper of a thick “Soup” overtaking the streets and the local ecclesiastical order tightens its grip on your community, you must piece together what’s happening through newspapers, uneasy conversations, and a homemade radio. Though you may find in this slow, oppressive atmospheric horror experience that curiosity is both compass and curse.

Meanwhile, SATED is a cooking roguelike from developer Forest Reges, where you descend into a dripping megastructure to cook increasingly grotesque delicacies for ever-hungrier monsters. Your only tool is a sentient, cursed fridge that works like a deranged slot machine. Spin for twitching ingredients, bet everything and pray the customer leaves satisfied…or become the meal yourself.

As mentioned, you can sign up for the upcoming playtest via the official Steam page. Just click the “Request Access” button and wait.

Currently in development for release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, GRAFT sees you attempting to escape the aforementioned rotting space station.

However, you are not the only survivor in the desolation. Ancient feral experiments, strange abominations, and ruthless agents of a mad AI stalk you. You must use the tools in your growing arsenal as you fight through the horrors in a visceral new twist on classic survival horror combat.

Along with the Fallout announcements, Bethesda also confirmed that their primary focus will be The Elder Scrolls VI, while 2023’s Starfield will continue to receive new content, along with gameplay improvements and further updates.

“Fallout is one of our biggest priorities today,” reads the announcement. “Fallout 5 remains our long-range destination, and we have multiple Fallout projects in active development right now.

We also know many players want to revisit previous Fallout experiences. While we’re not announcing any dates today, we have been working on remasters for both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.”

As for the Obsidian project, Bethesda stated that they will have more to share regarding the collaboration at a later date.

The message continues, with Bethesda stating that The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 are being developed on Creation Engine 3, which is the same engine used for Starfield. “[Creation Engine 3] allows our teams to support multiple projects simultaneously with new tools, rendering, and systems that define our games.

Fallout 5 is currently in pre-production. The Elder Scrolls VI is our primary development focus today, with the majority of our team currently working on the next chapter of the franchise. With over 65 million copies sold, players are still exploring Skyrim 15 years later, but we know it’s been a very long wait for the sequel.

The next chapter is on the way. We’re where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day.”

Wilderdark is a survival horror exploration game where you find yourself on an unnatural island infected with a mysterious ectoparasitic organism which has corrupted the dinosaurs and plantlife. Sent in by the organization you work for in search of immortality, you are tasked with documenting the island’s ecosystem, collecting samples and discovering the fate of the previously vanished expeditions—including one led by your own parents.

After crash-landing on the island with only minimal resources to survive, every one of your steps matters in this tense and atmospheric world, where stealth is key and even the smallest sound can attract the attention of deadly apex predators. The island is crawling with danger, including grotesque, parasite-infected dinosaurs. To uncover the truth, players will need to carefully observe their surroundings, document discoveries through photography, and craft essential tools from whatever they can find. It’s a constant balancing act: use resources wisely, stay out of sight, and think one step ahead of the island’s relentless hunters.

To celebrate the release date announcement, a brand-new trailer has been released, showing off the violent minigames, customizable outfits, and chaotic multiplayer.

Featurng an industrial soundtrack composed by Alex Peipman, Machine Party takes classic party game formats and gives them deadly twists, turning friendly competition into something far less friendly, but always hilarious. Across 15 unique minigames, players will jump between split-second reflex challenges, calculated decision-making, and social situations where trust doesn’t last long and betrayal is always an option.

Each minigame throws players into increasingly absurd and dangerous challenges where cooperation, competition, and betrayal are all viable strategies. No matter how you play, or how devious you are at screwing over your friends, survival is never guaranteed. For more absurdity, you’re able to customize your test subject with a variety of cosmetics.

“The Walking Dead is a proven IP with a passionate global fanbase and the perfect narrative fit for roguelite mechanics where survival defines the experience,” said Mike DeLaet, President of Ares Interactive. “With The Walking Dead: Aftermath, we’ve combined intense combat, meaningful progression, and base-camp strategy into a loop where every decision carries weight. We’ve applied decades of experience operating hit free-to-play titles to ensure the experience is both rewarding and sustainable for the long term. This is exactly the kind of franchise partnership we build at Ares Interactive, and we can’t wait to see how the players navigate this world.”

“A core pillar of The Walking Dead story is that of people learning to adapt and thrive in ever-more-extreme circumstances, and our partners at Ares Interactive have created a game that perfectly captures that feeling,” said Clayton Neuman, Head of Games & Franchise at AMC Global Media. “The Walking Dead: Aftermath allows players to enter a world where the stakes continuously mount with every choice made. Fast-paced, action-packed, and just the right amount of chaos – the end of the world has never been quite so much fun.”

Players will step into the shoes of iconic survivors from The Walking Dead Universe, including Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, and Michonne, as they fight to survive against relentless walker herds, hostile enemies, and powerful bosses. Aftermath combines “high-intensity” roguelite action with survivor strategy and base-building meta-progression, challenging players to adapt, scavenge, and fight to stay alive.

The journey spans increasingly harrowing campaign chapters set across the franchise’s most iconic locations, from the deceptive peace of Hershel’s Farm and the fortified streets of Woodbury to the haunting remains of Terminus to the Alexandria Safe-Zone.

Players will face relentless walker hordes and hostile human factions. Level up in real-time during each run, selecting from three randomized ability upgrades that evolve combat tactics on the fly for each level up. When the fighting stops, players must retreat to their Base Camp to fortify their community and ensure long-term survival.

Use scavenged materials to permanently improve gear and survivor attributes, ensuring a stronger return after every run. All the while, experience a world that grows through a consistent stream of new storylines, regular content drops, and community events that ensure the fight for the future never stays the same. Additional survivors and fan favorite characters are set to join the fight over time.

UNFROST is set in Antarctica, where you and your squad seek out ancient entities known as the Riftborne. It’s easier said than done, as you’ll need to gather evidence, survive extreme conditions, and prepare to launch a nuclear strike, which is the only weapon capable of killing them. Of course, you’ll also need to figure out how to escape before the strike hits.

But, in order to launch the strike, you’ll need to figure out just the right tunings in order to actually damange the Riftborne, which cannot be defeated with conventional weapons. That involves exploring abandoned stations, frozen ruins, and anomaly zones to recover samples, scan anomalies, and analyze evidence.

You’ll need to work together with your squad by divvying up tasks, sharing evidence, and transporting equipment. For example, one squad member may investigate anomalies, while another secures the perimeter or hauls critical equipment through a blizzard.

And yes, as you might have guessed, the Antarctic weather will be your first and foremost foe in UNFROST. You must brave the freezing temperatures and inclement weather while managing warmth, supplies, and sanity. The longer your mission lasts, the tougher it will be to survive.

Obviously, the Riftborne isn’t going to wait around for you. In fact, it’ll be hunting you from the very start. As such, you’ll need to constantly adapt in order to avoid certain death. Once you’ve determined the Riftborne’s weakness, you must configure the correct nuclear payload, launch the strike, and get out before impact. You don’t want to be around when the bombs drop.
