Preshow
Worms Galactic Tactics
The Worms series is once again trying to change perspective — this time Team17 sends the worms to conquer three-dimensional space in a turn-based tactics format with roguelike elements. Players will have to assemble their own squad and go through the "Galactic Gauntlet" — a series of increasingly difficult battles with new opponents, power-ups, and bosses. Local and online 1v1 duels are also announced.
Worms Galactic Tactics is scheduled for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
At the end of the trailer, the developers dropped another teaser: another Worms game is currently in development, but no details about it have been revealed yet.
Train Sim World 7
Dovetail Games continues its annual conveyor belt — the studio presented a small teaser for Train Sim World 7 with in-engine footage. The new installment of the railway simulator will allow players to ride along routes in Florida, Yorkshire, and Bavaria. New features include a free cargo transport mode, real-world weather data, and expanded realism settings.
Train Sim World 7 will be released on September 15, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Owners of expanded editions will get access to the game five days earlier.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Wonderworks
The legendary management simulation series returns: Atari announced RollerCoaster Tycoon Wonderworks. Springloaded, the creators of the insane Let's Build a Zoo, are responsible for the development.
The game retains the classic isometric view but switches to a brighter, "toy-like" visual style. The developers promise updated physics, an intuitive loop-de-loop editor, and simplified micromanagement. The main feature will be Springloaded's signature dark humor: the debut trailer already showed spectacular amusement park accidents and visitors flying off the map in all directions.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Wonderworks will be released in Steam Early Access this winter. The full release will eventually take place on both PC and consoles.
Acornia: Mirror Worlds
Splashteam (creators of Tinykin) and publisher The Arcade Crew presented the cartoon adventure Acornia: Mirror Worlds, which in many ways resembles Cult of the Lamb: between expeditions into the isometric "mirror world," the player will have to develop their own shop and restore a huge tree that serves as home for the local inhabitants.
The main character, Alva the squirrel, stores found materials and goods right in her cheeks. Any item can be sold, spent on construction, or launched at an enemy, with expensive items dealing more damage. Therefore, a particularly powerful projectile can also punch a hole in the budget.
Acornia: Mirror Worlds will be released in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Valor Mortis
One More Level (creators of Ghostrunner) brought a story trailer for their hardcore first-person soulslike Valor Mortis to Gamescom. The game transports players to an alternate 19th-century Europe, where the Napoleonic Wars have turned into a plague, mutations, and devilry. The trailer looks devilishly stylish and intriguing — the creators know how to work with first-person dynamics, and this expertise is immediately apparent here.
The main character is the resurrected English legionnaire William Dawsett, who has lost his memory and gained dangerous abilities. The voice of Napoleon, voiced by Vincent Cassel, sounds in his head, and later he is joined by Shrike — the leader of the resistance. William will have to figure out which of them to trust.
Valor Mortis is scheduled for release on October 13, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The game will be available on Xbox Game Pass on release day, and a demo is already available on Steam.
Murals
Dlala Studios, known for Battletoads and Disney Illusion Island, announced Murals — an isometric adventure through distorted versions of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Players will take on the role of an unnamed, amnesiac hero who, along with a living drawing named Loaf, must explore magical worlds and help Hansel and Gretel, the Little Mermaid, Rapunzel, and other familiar characters. The game attracts attention with its luxurious watercolor graphics, as if straight out of children's fairy tales or even a fairy-tale version of Disco Elysium.
Murals is scheduled for release in 2027 on PC.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Capcom reminded us of the upcoming release of the samurai action game with a new trailer and an announcement of an updated demo. In addition to the familiar Kiyomizu-dera temple and the duel with Sasaki Ganryu, a mystical location called "Oni's Abode" has been added. In it, players, as Miyamoto Musashi, will have to fight new types of Genma demons and defeat a fierce boss. The developers also reminded that having a save from the demo in the full version of the game will grant bonus equipment.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be released on September 4, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Humankind 2
Amplitude Studios announced Humankind 2 — a sequel to the 2021 historical turn-based strategy game. Players will once again lead their own civilization from its first settlements to the modern era, founding cities, developing technologies, forging alliances, and commanding armies.
The developers promise to rework the cultural shifts between eras. Now, each era will have its own development tree with unique customs, and their features will gradually build upon each other. Another important innovation will be changing climates: biomes will transform, forcing players to rebuild cities, economies, and resource management.
Humankind 2 is scheduled for release in 2027 on PC. And in honor of the announcement, the first part is on sale on Steam with discounts of up to 90% until September 8.
Elta: Defy All Gods
Focus Entertainment presented Elta: Defy All Gods — a sci-fi action-platformer from the creators of Dreamscaper.
The main character is the warrior monk Victus, exiled with his people and stranded on a hostile planet. To survive and find a new home, the hero teams up with the dragon-like creature Elta — a deity who has lost her power. The gameplay revolves around high-speed parkour (double jumps, air dashes, wall running) and melee combat with switching between three combat stances. As he explores ruins and canyons, Elta evolves directly on the hero's shoulder, unlocking new elemental abilities and allowing him to dismantle colossal fallen gods.
Elta: Defy All Gods is scheduled for release in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Age Twisters
Krafton and Piccolo Studio presented Age Twisters — a cooperative adventure for two players, reminiscent of Split Fiction in structure. A grandfather and granddaughter embark on a search for her missing mother, who left behind mysterious bracelets capable of changing the owner's age.
Heroes will be able to transform into children, teenagers, adults, and elders in real-time, gaining different abilities to solve puzzles. The developers promise to constantly change game situations: partners will participate in chases, turn into suitcases, ride a mechanical tyrannosaurus, and even teleport chickens.
Age Twisters will be released in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. For co-op play locally or online, one copy is enough — a second player can be invited via Friend's Pass.
Mariachi Legends
The preshow closed with a new trailer for the Mexican metroidvania Mariachi Legends from Halberd Studios, dedicated to the release date — the game has been moved from late 2026 to spring 2027.
The main character is detective Pablo Cruz, who made a deal with Death herself. She allows him to transform into the powerful La Sombra to fight criminals and track down a man who has achieved immortality. Parries, brutal finishers, firearms, blades, whips, and magic will be useful in combat. The change of day, night, and full moon will transform familiar areas and populate them with new monsters.
Mariachi Legends will be released on April 27, 2027, on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game will also appear on Game Pass.
Main Show
Nodus Fall
Chinese HoYoverse (creators of Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero) presented its new large-scale project Nodus Fall. The main surprise of the announcement is a change in visual style: instead of the usual anime cel-shading, the studio showed realistic and dark graphics on the Unreal Engine 5. From the first shots, the game looks like an illegitimate child of Elden Ring and Monster Hunter — so much so that one genuinely fears for the safety of modern mobile hardware.
Players will take on the role of weavers in a harsh, dark fantasy world where divine order has collapsed, and power has passed to ancient creatures. Players will have to team up, use elemental magic like ice and lightning to jointly crush colossal dragons and other mythical monsters.
The exact release date and list of platforms have not yet been officially announced.
Rainbow Six Tactics
Ubisoft presented a turn-based tactics game in the Rainbow Six franchise. The events will unfold parallel to the Siege timeline: a global threat will force the team to act on a strategic scale, and the player will take on the role of the commander of Six.
Players will have to develop a base, train operatives, and assemble four-person squads. There will be 15 familiar operators from Siege to choose from, each with their own skill tree and gadget set. More than 45 locations worldwide are announced, along with classic series missions: hostage rescue, bomb defusal, and target elimination.
One of the main features will be the destruction system familiar from Siege. It is complemented by the Breach Planning mode, which allows players to plan and execute a synchronized assault with the entire squad in one turn, including breaching walls and flanking enemies from unexpected directions.
The release is scheduled for 2027. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Gears of War: E-Day
The Coalition showed a new story trailer for Gears of War: E-Day. The prequel takes players 14 years back — to Emergence Day, when the Locust Horde first emerged on the surface of Sera and began to destroy humanity. Young Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago will have to survive the first days of the war and assemble the future Delta Squad.
Gears of War: E-Day will be released on October 6, 2026, on PC and Xbox Series X|S, and will also be available on Game Pass immediately. Owners of the Premium Edition will be able to start playing on October 1.
Ananta
NetEase Games and Naked Rain studio showed a new trailer for the free-to-play RPG Ananta and announced the exact release date. The project has already been dubbed "anime-GTA" for combining anime aesthetics with free exploration of a metropolis and city traversal in the style of Marvel's Spider-Man.
Players will take on the role of an agent investigating anomalous and supernatural incidents in Nova City. The city is a large sandbox with dynamic day-night cycles, car traffic, public transport, cinemas, and arcade halls. You can move around it by car, motorcycle, and skateboard, or by using ropes to swing between skyscrapers.
Ananta will be released on January 15, 2027, on PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android. The game will be distributed as free-to-play.
Silent Hill: Townfall
Konami presented a new trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall, this time dedicated to the cast. The game will tell the story of Simon Ordell, who in 1996 travels to the Scottish port town of St. Amelia, shrouded in an ominous fog.
The cast includes Emmy winner Terry O'Quinn, known for his role as John Locke in "Lost," Kezia Burrows from Observation, and Jovan Adepo, who starred in the series "It: Welcome to Derry." The video itself is only a minute long, but it managed to show thick fog and skyscraper-sized monsters.
Silent Hill: Townfall will be released on September 24, 2026, on PC and PlayStation 5. The Xbox Series version will be released later due to temporary console exclusivity.
Sea of Remnants
Joker Studio showed a new trailer for the marine fantasy RPG Sea of Remnants. Players will take on the role of a doll-like sailor who has lost his memory. Together with his crew, he will explore an open world, land on mysterious islands, and participate in turn-based battles.
Each voyage will offer new routes, enemies, equipment, and power-ups. After returning to the port city of Etopia, players can upgrade their ship, develop relationships with characters, and gradually rebuild the settlement. The developers also promised weekly rewards with guaranteed rare characters or signature weapons without spending premium currency.
Sea of Remnants will be released on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile devices. Closed beta testing starts in December 2026, and the full release date has not yet been announced. Pre-registration is already open.

Gwendolyn is accompanied by ghostly knights in battles, whom she can summon for joint attacks. The new voice of the heroine is Angela Sant'Albano, who played Grace Ashcroft in Resident Evil Requiem. She replaced Jennifer English.

Lofsöng
Unrelated Studio showed new footage of Lofsöng — a meditative adventure reminiscent of Journey. In the distant future, an unnamed child embarks on a journey across the Sea of Dust to the forbidden Exclusion Zone, accompanied by an origami creature capable of changing shape.

Lofsöng will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The release date has not yet been announced.
Mega Man: Dual Override

Mega Man will have to investigate the causes of the disaster together with Proto Man.
New mechanics include the temporary Override boost and Custom Chips that modify abilities. The trailer also introduced Robot Master Twinkle Girl and showed skins for Pragmata inspired by Mega Man.

Rayman Legends: Retold
Ubisoft showed a new trailer for Rayman Legends: Retold to a Macarena remix. The composition formed the basis of one of the musical levels, where jumping, attacking, and dodging must be strictly in rhythm.
The expanded re-imagining of the 2013 platformer will feature new 3D graphics, voiced cutscenes, a mysterious sixth world, four musical levels, and dragon flights. The entire campaign can be played in local co-op with four players. Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, with 4K support and new collectibles, will also be included.

Control Resonant will be released on September 24, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
The Blood of Dawnwalker

During the day, Coen fights as a human, and at night he gains vampire abilities. The player's decisions will influence the course of history and open up different ways to complete tasks. The authors call the game the first chapter of a large saga, whose future parts will transport the action to other eras and cultures.
The Blood of Dawnwalker will be released on September 3, 2026, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. Shortly before the trailer's release, the developers also announced that console versions will indeed receive a performance mode with 60 FPS.
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros
PlaySide studio showed the first full gameplay trailer for Game of Thrones: War for Westeros — a classic real-time strategy game set in the "Game of Thrones" universe.
Players will have to lead one of the Great Houses (Stark, Lannister, or Targaryen) or the army of the Night King and enter the struggle for the Iron Throne. Infantry, cavalry, siege engines, giants, and dragons will clash in massive battles. Familiar heroes like Jon Snow, Tywin Lannister, and Daenerys Targaryen can be summoned to the battlefield, and some key events of the series can be rewritten.
Game of Thrones: War for Westeros will offer a single-player story campaign and multiplayer skirmishes, where players can form alliances and betray allies.
The game's release has been postponed to early 2027 for additional polish. Game of Thrones: War for Westeros will be released on PC.
DUST: Origins
Airship Syndicate presented the debut trailer for DUST: Origins — an isometric sci-fi horror action game inspired by 80s and 90s sci-fi. The hero wakes up from cryosleep in the crumbling orbital prison "Limbo-6," filled with dangerous prisoners and alien creatures that have escaped from laboratories.
Ammunition and resources will have to be conserved, relying on proper positioning and the environment. Encountered survivors can be saved or abandoned, and decisions made will lead to different endings and even premature "dead-end" conclusions. Open outcomes will unlock items that will be useful for subsequent playthroughs in "New Game+" mode.
At the same time, the authors launched a Kickstarter campaign. The studio has already self-funded the main development, and the money raised will go towards expanding the game. DUST: Origins will be released in early 2027 on PC.
Exodus
Archetype Entertainment announced the exact release date for Exodus and showed a new trailer with cinematic scenes and gameplay. The new video also introduced companions. Salt — an intelligent octopus controlling a combat mech. He attacks from a distance and disorients enemies with ink smoke screens. Emrys — a representative of the mysterious Deva race, combining several consciousnesses. His spheres weaken enemies, drain energy from them, and convert it into protection for the main character.
The game's events unfold 40,000 years after the destruction of Earth in the Omega Centauri cluster. A key feature of the plot and gameplay is related to the theory of relativity and time dilation. While the main character, June, travels between stars at superluminal speeds, weeks pass for him, but decades and centuries pass on his home planet. Returning from missions, the player will see aged friends, new generations, and a world changed by the consequences of his choices.
Exodus will be released on April 7, 2027, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The game is being developed on Unreal Engine 5.
Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons
Invoke Studios presented the first gameplay of Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons. The broadcast itself showed a condensed version, but below you will find eight minutes of the single-player action-RPG in an open world.
The main character, Kaatri, makes a pact with the powerful witch Tasha and gains access to forbidden magic, but such deals in the D&D universe rarely go without a catch. Spells will be useful in battles, exploring locations, and solving puzzles. They can be combined to find different ways to overcome obstacles and deal with monsters.
Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons will be released in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
1001: Threads of Mizan

1001: Threads of Mizan will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2. The release date has not yet been announced.
Afterworld
Paradox announced Afterworld — a grand strategy game in an original post-apocalyptic setting. This is the studio's first non-historical project in ten years.
The events will unfold in a ruined North America. Players will have to lead a group of survivors, whether they are bunker dwellers, desert cultists, or other factions, and go from finding canned goods to creating a continental empire.
The map and threats will be procedurally generated, and the research tree will change depending on ancient technologies found and discoveries made. In addition to foreign policy, looting ruins, and wars with other tribes, players will have to enact laws, deal with crises, and interact with the immortal Ancient rulers of the past.
Afterworld will offer a single-player campaign, as well as cooperative and competitive multiplayer. The exact release date has not yet been announced. The game is being developed for PC.
Petit Planet
HoYoverse showed a new trailer for Petit Planet — a free-to-play life simulator best described as Animal Crossing in space. Players will get their own planet where they can grow crops, fish, cook meals, gather resources, and interact with furry residents.
Not only the interior of the house can be changed, but also the landscape of an entire planet: laying rivers, building mountains, and decorating the surroundings to your taste. Beyond it, you can explore the Star Sea and visit other places, including the bustling Galactic Bazaar.
Petit Planet will be released in winter 2026 on PC and mobile devices.
Showa American Story
NEKCOM showed a new gameplay trailer for Showa American Story — a trashy post-apocalyptic RPG set in an alternate 1980s. In this reality, Japan bought out most of the USA and turned the country into a cultural hodgepodge of American and Japanese imagery, and then zombies and mutants took to the streets.
The main character, Chigusa Choko, suddenly resurrects from the dead and travels across America in search of answers. The trailer, narrated by an anime-loving president, showed California, companions Michael Hiro and Bubba, arcade machines, and bloody battles. Choko slashes enemies with a katana, shoots them with firearms, smashes them with an American flag, and uses a drill-hand — common sense capitulated here even before the zombie apocalypse began.
Showa American Story will be released on PC and PlayStation 5. The release date has not yet been announced.
Road Kings
Publisher Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive studio announced the exact release date for the truck simulator Road Kings and showed a short gameplay video.
The player will have to get behind the wheel of a 40-ton truck and explore the expanses of the American South, encountering natural and man-made disasters.
Road Kings will be released on March 11, 2027, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Crazy Taxi: World Tour
Sega showed the first multiplayer trailer for Crazy Taxi: World Tour. In Pickup Race mode, up to six taxi drivers will compete for passengers, and the winner will be determined by the amount earned. Therefore, choosing the most profitable orders will be more important than mindlessly rushing around the city and picking up everyone.
The developers also introduced the team mode Cops 'N' Cabbies: one side commits robberies, and the other tries to catch the criminals.
Closed testing will take place from September 11 to 13, and applications are accepted until August 31. Participants will have access to two maps, six cars, and four drivers. Crazy Taxi: World Tour will be released in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Turok: Origins
Saber Interactive showed a cinematic trailer for Turok: Origins with snippets of gameplay. The video featured bloody battles with fighters of the Turok Order, dinosaurs, and other creatures.
Turok: Origins will be the first new installment in the franchise in many years and will offer a single-player campaign with co-op capabilities.
Initially, the release was expected in autumn 2026, but now Turok: Origins will be released in spring 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
GRAVHOUNDS
DICE and 343 Industries veterans from Octopus Panic studio announced GRAVHOUNDS — a cooperative action game for 1-4 players about a squad of bio-engineered working dogs. Heroes land on hostile planets, extract valuable resources, build fortifications, and try to evacuate before local fauna eats them.
For defense, players can install turrets, generators, and production modules, connecting them with a network of pipelines. A gravity beam allows players to carry cargo and throw enemies, and the risk grows with each minute: the longer the squad stays on the planet, the more valuable the loot and the more aggressive the alien swarm.
It looks like an illegitimate child of Highguard and The Outer Worlds, with dogs added for some reason. GRAVHOUNDS will be released in Early Access on November 2, 2026, on PC and Xbox Series X|S, and will also be available on Game Pass immediately.
LEGO Skylines
Publisher Paradox Interactive presented an announcement teaser for LEGO Skylines — a city-building simulator in the Cities: Skylines universe, entirely made of LEGO bricks.
The project is positioned as a cozy and highly customizable city-building game without strict instructions and with unlimited space for creativity. Players will design living metropolises, lay out streets, and arrange the lives of LEGO minifigures, switching between global district planning and detailed construction of individual buildings.
LEGO Skylines will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The release date has not yet been announced.
Exterminauts
Level Infinite and Behaviour Interactive announced Exterminauts — a cooperative third-person shooter for three players. Space exterminators will have to do dirty work on the planet Tian: destroy huge aliens, defend bases, and simultaneously fix everything that falls apart under the onslaught of another horde.
Exterminauts resembles Helldivers 2, but with an additional emphasis on building and repairing defensive structures. The motto is appropriate: "Get to work, clean up, get paid."
Exterminauts will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The release date has not yet been announced.
Path of Exile 2
Grinding Gear Games announced the full release date for Path of Exile 2. The action-RPG will leave Early Access on December 11, 2026, and transition to a free-to-play model on all platforms with update 1.0.

Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake
Ubisoft took on a sacred task and announced a full remake of Heroes of Might and Magic III. The 1999 strategy game will be completely rebuilt on the Snowdrop engine: the familiar Erathia will become three-dimensional, with a free camera, 4K resolution, dynamic lighting, changing weather, and seasons.
The package will include all campaigns from the original and the Armageddon's Blade and The Shadow of Death expansions, combined into a cohesive story. The developers will also add a new prologue, cinematic cutscenes, simultaneous turns, updated multiplayer for eight players, and a classic Hot Seat mode. Support for old user-created maps and campaigns is promised to be retained.

NO LAW
Krafton and Neon Giant studio, known for The Ascent, showed new gameplay for NO LAW — a story-driven cyber-noir first-person shooter. The action takes place in Port Desire, a vertical seaside city that combines neon glamor with dirty industrial districts.
Players will take on the role of Gray Harker — a wounded veteran who tried to leave military service and live a quiet life. But, of course, trouble came knocking at his door.
The hero's decisions will directly affect the plot and the surrounding world. Missions can be completed stealthily or with guns blazing, using implants, fantastic gadgets, and parkour.
NO LAW will be released in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Cinder City
NC and BigFire Games studio showed a new trailer for Cinder City — a cinematic third-person shooter with an open world.
The game's events unfold in a completely destroyed 21st-century Seoul, which has survived a brutal alien invasion. The narrative is told from the perspective of several characters who are trying to reclaim the chaos-ridden metropolis from the invaders.

ONTOS
Frictional Games (creators of SOMA and Amnesia) together with Kepler Interactive publisher showed the first gameplay trailer for the sci-fi thriller ONTOS, which is positioned as a spiritual successor to SOMA.
The main character, Aditi, explores a repurposed lunar hotel "Samsara," where she encounters strange experiments.
The new video is dedicated to the experiment of scientist Crombie, who tried to create artificial intelligence and, apparently, uploaded his own consciousness to a server made of many connected rats. The machine asks Aditi to reconnect it to the body, while the body itself begs not to.
This is just one example of the decisions the player will face: you can fulfill the machine's request, look for another way out, or sabotage the experiment out of pure curiosity. There will be no right or wrong options, and each choice will lead to its own consequences.
ONTOS will be released in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Pony Island 2: Panda Circus
Daniel Mullins, creator of Inscryption and the first Pony Island, announced the release date for Pony Island 2: Panda Circus. This time, the player controls a young nomad who was destined to conquer the world, but premature death sent him to "Earth Prison."
To escape the afterlife, the hero will have to bargain with eccentric deities and play — or break — the games they created using a steed, a flash drive, and his own ingenuity. The author promises a phantasmagorical journey through myths, religion, eras, and video games. And yes, it's not about ponies again.
Pony Island 2: Panda Circus will be released on April 27, 2027, on PC.
Zoopunk
TiGames showed a new trailer for Zoopunk — a cooperative action-RPG that will be a prequel to F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch. The events will unfold several decades before the original and tell the story of the birth of Torch City against the backdrop of a war between animals and the Machine Legion.
Players were introduced to three heroes with different fighting styles: Rayton the rabbit relies on fast combos and electric attacks, Braton the rhino wields a huge chainsaw, and Trixie the squirrel combines acrobatics with gun-fu style shooting.
Zoopunk will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The release date has not yet been announced.
There Are No Ghosts at the Grand
Friday Sundae showed an overview trailer for There Are No Ghosts at the Grand — a musical blend of House Flipper, detective, and Lovecraftian horror. The main character, Chris, inherits a dilapidated English hotel that he must restore in 30 days and nights.
During the day, the player paints walls, arranges furniture, and repairs the building with the help of talking tools. At night, the same tools turn into weapons: a vacuum cleaner sucks in ghosts, a paint sprayer reveals invisible creatures, and a furniture gun throws cabinets at evil spirits. All this is accompanied by musical numbers and comments from a sarcastic cat.
Early access to There Are No Ghosts at the Grand starts on PC in December 2026. Later, the game will come to Xbox Series X|S and will also be available on Game Pass.
Like or Die
NC announced Like or Die — a team-based survival shooter where streamers fight for audience attention on the Quaya Stream platform. The game resembles "Fortnite at home": here you can also build, destroy the environment, and change the landscape right during the match, but the visual style leans towards "Korean realism."
Like or Die will be released on PC, but the release date has not yet been announced.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation
Square Enix showed a two-minute trailer for Final Fantasy VII Revelation — the final part of the remake trilogy. The planet is on the verge of catastrophe, and giant Weapon monsters have awakened from its depths: Ruby, Emerald, and Ultima appeared in the video.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" — Remastered and the "Ballads of the Past" expansion
CD Projekt RED has prepared two reasons to return to Geralt's adventures. On September 29, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered will be released with updated graphics, reworked combat, improved movement, and more convenient Roach controls.
The developers will also change monster behavior and the skill tree, add new finishers, transmogrification, an expanded photo mode, and cross-platform mod support. Owners of versions for GOG, Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series will receive the remaster for free. Moreover, "Hearts of Stone" and "Blood and Wine" have already become free for all owners of the base game.
Following this, CD Projekt RED presented a teaser for the third paid expansion — "Ballads of the Past." Geralt will travel to the serene land of Letten, behind whose calm facade lie dark secrets. The Witcher will also receive a new weapon — a legendary chain, which was shown in early trailers of the series but never made it into the games themselves.
"Ballads of the Past" will be released in 2027 and will run on the remastered version. Russian subtitles will be retained, but there will be no voice acting: with Russian selected, the expansion's dialogue will automatically switch to Polish. CD Projekt RED explained this decision by the termination of cooperation with tax residents of Russia and Belarus in 2022.
