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.
RedRuins Softworks, the studio behind Breathedge, returns with a procedural co-op looter shooter for 4 players in a post-apocalyptic desert. Giant Crawlers, Haven building, blood pacts with the enemy: there's something here.
Alkimia Interactive gave us seven hours in the Old Camp with a locked preview build. Combat is more fluid than in the Nyras prologue, dialogues are nearly identical to the original, and the urge to dive back in is intact.
Sunny Lab makes a cosy RPG about a witch running a bakery in 1990s Paris. It's more ambitious than it looks, and much more personal.
IO Interactive drops Hitman and makes a Bond game. Not a reskinned Hitman: a Bond game. Uncharted, Arkham, social stealth, gadgets. The previews are promising but the doubt about the writing remains.
Fleet management roguelite with crisis management, real-time Viper combat and meta-progression. Scattered Hopes is Crying Suns with a BSG paint job and notable improvements, for better and for worse.
A conversation with Banana Blitz Studio, the team behind Void Reaver: six people spread across France, trained on WoW, convinced that the heart of a roguelite lives in the inventory.
Breathtaking stop motion, adorable characters, Wallace and Gromit atmosphere. The Ambroise Niflette demo is the indie aesthetic shock of the year.
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?
