Previews

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.

Bruisers: the Fruit Ninja people made a boxing game where your character actually ages

Weigh-ins, meal planning, a day job between fights, accumulating injuries and a bareknuckle circuit. Halfbrick is not joking at all.

Split screen, Cantonese and Mandarin voice acting, and a return to Kowloon Walled City. One purchase is enough for two players.

Elections, political parties, an economy run entirely by players, and territorial wars. Free, and out today.

Mana that carries into the next turn, a 4 by 7 board where position matters, and no card rotation. If you can get through the page.

Noodle texture, beer foam, the browning on your gyoza. And a fire breaking out mid-service.

Arenas reconstructed with Rome, Capua and Pompeii, and a pre-alpha that says so itself on its store page. Rare, and worth noting.

Real-time fleets with a live ETA, replayable battles, a galaxy wiped twice a year. And a generative AI disclosure worth reading in full.

A sorting game where every bone starts out unknown and you learn to recognise it. No date yet.

Announced for 25 September. What the store page describes, what it does not say, and why we will wait to play it before judging.
