Previews and first impressions on upcoming games in 2025-2026. We got our hands on it before you: find out what convinced us, and what didn't.
Lingua Technis as an option, playable Necrons, solid demo. Mechanicus 2 releases May 21. The only remaining question: can the soundtrack rival XCOM 2?
4 factions, 150 units, Last Stand returns. Dawn of War 4 looks great on paper. The community just has one question: who's actually making it?
Cold Iron Studios and Daybreak Game Company announce Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 for this summer. Four marines instead of three, day-one crossplay, new Xenomorph types and a Horde mode. The first was solid. The second has the tools to go further.
Two weeks after launch, Kite Games publishes its 2026 roadmap: QoL patch, campaign co-op, new six-mission DLC, and a scenario editor. The community is skeptical about the base game, but the announcements hit the right targets.
Arcanaut Studios reunites BioWare veterans around Casey Hudson for a spiritual successor to KOTOR. Not A New Hope. The other one. The one we've been carrying since 2003.
4A Games announces Metro 2039 for this winter. New protagonist, Hunter turned Führer of a Novoreich that has conquered the entire metro, and the Dark Ones more threatening than ever. We devoured the books and the games. We're ready.
An isometric CRPG set in the Imperial Inquisition, featuring Night Lords, an Ogryn, an Eldar Psyker, and even a playable Kroot. Owlcat Games doing what Owlcat Games does, in the 40K universe. We want to believe.
A bullet heaven co-op for up to four players, hordes, artifacts, a stronghold to defend. And behind it all, a solo developer who bet everything on this game. We wanted to see why.
Open-world Gotham, Arkham-inspired combat, a Batcave, villains, plastic jokes. TT Games looks like they've put their hands back in for the right reasons. We can't wait.
