On the cover image from left to right: «Silent Hill: Townfall», «TMNT Splintered Fate», «Black Myth: Zhong Kui», «Star Wars: Zero Company»

Have fun browsing and wishlisting!

Newly announced games

These titles have been newly announced.

«Nightrunner»

No, this is not the new DLC for «Stalker 2». However, both games exude similar vibes. In this survival shooter, you are not alone, but can bring friends along for escort. The studio describes the game itself as a mix of «Call of Duty's» zombie mode and «Killing Floor».

Date: Playtest in September
Available for: PC

«Dumb Ways to Build»

A bright and wonderfully chaotic co-op game in which up to four people complete dangerous and absurd construction jobs. Looks like typical, quirky friend-slop fun.

Date: September 10
Available for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

Trailer updates for already announced games

These games and expansions have already been introduced and are receiving new trailers that offer deeper insights into gameplay and story.

«Star Wars: Zero Company»

The new turn-based tactical game in the «Star Wars» universe looks great. My colleague Simon has already played it. In addition to the «Xcom» component, there is supposed to be a decent portion of «Mass Effect» with numerous dialogues between the action. I'm curious about that.

Date: August 27
Available for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

«Silent Hill: Townfall»

There are almost 20 minutes of fresh gameplay for the upcoming «Silent Hill: Townfall». In it, protagonist Simon explores the foggy Scottish island of St. Amelia, where all sorts of terrifying creatures are lurking for him.

Date: September 24
Available for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

«Retro Space»

This retro action-adventure looks shrill, humorous, and spaced out. It reminds me a bit of «Bioshock», only on a space station that has been swallowed by a black hole, and instead of Big Daddies, there are vomiting pig creatures.

Date: October 1
Available for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, PC

«Hunting Simulator 3»

The third part of the hunting simulation takes you to the cozy region of Texas and Colorado. Together with your tracking dog and a growing arsenal of weapons, you sneak through steppes and forests in search of game. I played a similar game many years ago and found the whole thing surprisingly entertaining. Patience, however, is an important prerequisite.

Date: October 29
Available for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC

«Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis»

The trailer mainly contains interviews with the developers. However, it also shows some scenes in which Lara Croft duels with dinos and bears. I am much more interested in what was made by them and what was made by AI.

Date: February 12
Available for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, PC

«Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days»

The zombies are raging again. In an 80s setting, you control a series of survivors through this 2.5D survival game. It has something of «State of Decay». For its third part, the future prospects under Microsoft's leadership are even bleaker than in this apocalypse.

Date: March 2027
Available for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, PC

«Black Myth: Zhong Kui»

The successful Chinese soulslike «Black Myth: Wukong» is getting a successor. In it, you take control of a new character who also has to deal with all sorts of monstrosities. A fight against a creature that has shells as wings is shown in particular detail.

Date: unknown
Available for: unknown

Trailers for already released games

These games have already been released but are receiving updates or other new information.

«Over the Top: WWI»

The name says it all: In «Over the Top: WWI», up to 200 people fight each other simultaneously on huge deformable battlefields. With the DLC, the USA also arrives at the front, with tanks and motorcycles.

Date: available
Available for: PC

«Seafarer: The Ship Sim»

With the update, up to four people can steer cargo ships, harbor cranes, or fireboats together and embark on missions together.

Date: available in Early Access
Available for: PC

«TMNT Splintered Fate»

In the «The King's Gambit» DLC, Slash joins the four ninja turtles as another playable character. Besides that, there are new boss fights and fancy samurai armor for the green heroes.

Date: available
Available for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, Switch 2, PC

«Bodycam»

«Bodycam» is one of several new so-called bodycam shooters. From the slightly distorted perspective of a bodycam, you blast your way through photorealistic areas. The multiplayer shooter relies on realism, so you have to distinguish enemies from your friends. A few hits already mean a restart. «Locked and Loaded» will be an extensive update that will shake up the game significantly.

Date: September 2
Available for: PC

«Nioh 3»

The «Hell Rising» DLC promises numerous new enemies that you can really beat up again with new weapons, armor, and abilities.

Date: available
Available for: PS5, PC

«Subnautica 2»

The buddy system update brings proximity chat, a trading function, reviving, and tracking tags so that you can find each other more easily.

Date: available
Available for: Xbox Series X/S, PC

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
