Larian Studios confirmed the return of the Divinity series with a new entry following the success of Baldur’s Gate 3. While still early, the announcement surely signals a return to deep systems, player choice and reactive worlds. Absolutely insane trailer - cannot wait.

Housemarque returned with a new look at Saros. The update focused on tone and world building, suggesting a darker and more narrative driven experience while retaining the studio’s signature fast, precise bullet hell combat. Looks sick.

Gang of Dragon is a new action game from Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi. The reveal hinted at brawler focused combat and a fresh cast of characters, while retaining the gritty tone and offbeat energy Nagoshi is known for.

Star Wars: Galactic Racers was announced as a fast paced arcade racer set across the Star Wars galaxy. It is not a straight revival of podracing, but the high speed chaos clearly echoes it. As someone who loved the original, this feels like a nostalgic nod wrapped in a more modern arcade racer format. Keen.

Creative Assembly officially revealed Total War: WARHAMMER 40000, bringing the long running strategy series into the grimdark sci-fi universe for the first time. The announcement confirmed large scale faction warfare and planetary battles, marking a major shift from the series’ historical and fantasy settings. Cool.

Order of the Sinking Star is the long awaited new one from Jon Blow. A narrative puzzle adventure focused on environmental storytelling and abstract design. The announcement prioritised atmosphere over mechanics, suggesting a slow burn around interpretation, symbolism and layered problem solving. If his Twitter is anything to go off, it’s set to be the best videogame ever made!

Remedy announced CONTROL: Resonant, a standalone title set in the CONTROL universe. While not a direct sequel, it expands the world of the Federal Bureau of Control with more reality bending environments and a darker psychological tone, continuing Remedy’s push into surreal action storytelling, this time seemingly as a melee action adventure. Keen!

A new trailer for Phantom Blade Zero showed more of its stylised swordplay, alongside a confirmed 2026 release window! The footage seemed to reinforce its identity as a skill driven action RPG, blending wuxia influences with the weight and intensity of Souls style encounters. Looks really cool.

Highguard is a new free to play hero shooter (…) focused on fast movement, hero style abilities and short competitive matches. The reveal leaned into spectacle, with the game clearly targeting a live service future, but reception was immediately tempered by genre fatigue.
