However, hopefully, we see some tweaks to the dungeons and enemy encounters in the future once a release date is announced. Stay tuned for updates!
ILL
Developer: Team Cloud
Release date: TBC
Hands down the gnarliest game of Summer Game Fest 2025 ILL is an upcoming PC game that looks to be skin-crawling in the best possible way. From developer Team Cloud, gameplay is action-heavy with gunshots galore and multiple gruesome enemies to slay. In the trailer for the game, we saw mutant creatures with four mouths, blood splatters, and even some zombie babies. What more could a horror fan want? No release date has been revealed just yet, so stay tuned for updates.
Fractured Blooms
Developer: Serenity Forge
Release date: TBC
Described at Summer Game Fest 2025 as Doki Doki Literature Club meets Silent Hill, Fractured Blooms looks like a first-person farming simulator with a dark twist. Its reveal trailer jumped from growing tomatoes to walking down dark corridors and jumping at self-slamming doors, all while ominous narration talks about preparing dinner and… eating legs? At this point we know about as much as you do – which is still more than we'd like to – but perhaps this psychological horror will be best going into without spoiling too much.
Chrono Odyssey
Developer: Chrono Studio
Release date: TBC
Chrono Odyssey is a new action MMO RPG developed in Unreal Engine 5 that will bring us to a "seamless open-world setting" that's said to feature various biomes. With an action-based combat system to play around it, it will also allow us to use an artifact known as the "Chronotector" that lets us stop time around monsters or rewind.
Atomic Heart 2
Developer: Mundfish
Release date: TBC
Atomic Heart 2 is set to bring us back to the retrofuturisic universe of the first game in a sequel that looks set to build on what came before with a new story and an expansive open-world setting. In the action-adventure RPG, the follow-up is also said to feature an updated and enhanced combat system and more player freedom.
The Cube
Developer: Mundfish
Release date: TBC
Set in the same universe as Atomic Heart, The Cube is a new MMORPG shooter that sees you jump into a world with various biomes and lots of characters to meet. A mysterious levitating cube hands in the sky, and it's said that with each turn, it alters the laws of reality. With lots of enemies to face and boss battles to take on, The Cube challenges you to try and survive whatever is thrown out you each round.
Felt That: Boxing
Developer: Sans Strings Studio, Stoopid Buddy Studios
Release date: TBC
It's odd to highlight the realism of some of the fuzziest puppets imaginable, but when you see Felt That: Boxing in action it really does just look like you're watching a recording of some actual pro puppeteering (it's made in Unreal). Putting you in the boxing gloves of Ezra 'Fuzz-E' Wright, "an unadoptable orphan", this mixes arcade action with comedic, crass storytelling to tell the tale of your rise up the ranks to master of the ring.
Killer Inn
Developer: Tactic Studio
Release date: TBC
What if Dead by Daylight had a baby with Cluedo? Meet Killer Inn, an upcoming multiplayer horror-mystery game from Square Enix where players have to deduce the culprit of an ongoing murder investigation – or do the killing themselves. You can set traps and find other means to survive against the hidden killer in this Among Us-like, but if solving crimes (or committing them) isn't quite your bag, escape is always an option. In a world of Wolves versus Lambs, it's kill or be killed – or die trying.
Ark 2
Developer: Studio Wildcard
Release date: TBC
With Ark 2, Studio Wildcard is building on the success of Ark: Survival Evolved and delivering a massive sequel with heaps of potential. The campaign is set to star noted Ark superfan Vin Diesel, while the game itself will feature a larger play space, more dynamic world events and dinosaur AI, and overhauled progression and survival systems. With Ark 2 being built with Unreal Engine 5, this could be one of the best-looking games of 2024 and easily a new addition to our best dinosaur games list – now we're just waiting on a release date.
Elder Scrolls 6
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Release date: TBC
Ah, Elder Scrolls, just when we think it's over, you pull us right back in. However, five years after the announcement it was in the works, fans are still to see the Elder Scrolls 6 release. Don't worry, though; this game is still on its way, and now that Starfield has launched, we know that Elder Scrolls 6 is next on Bethesda's schedule before they start working on other titles like Fallout 5. Currently, the most likely release date is 2026, despite the game initially targeting a 2024 release. So, hang in tight because there is still plenty of waiting ahead of us, it seems.
Fairgames
Developer: Haven
Release date: TBC
Fairgame$ - as it's officially styled - is a new heist game from Jade Raymond's new studio Haven. It's been born from the gang's desire to create a PvP game with emergent sandbox gameplay, where you'll be breaking into forbidden locations dotted all over the world. Prize open safes and vaults, fill your pockets, and even discover billionaire's hidden plans for secret stuff along the way.
Haunted Chocolatier
Developer: ConcernedApe
Release date: TBC
Following the unbelievable success of Stardew Valley, developer Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone has the freedom to work on whatever he wants to. Which is one reason why Haunted Chocolatier has so easily captured our attention. In this upcoming RPG, we'll be taking on the role of a chocolate maker living in a fantasy castle, and we're already in love with it. Spooky settings, a cool visual style, and a smart iteration of the core Stardew systems make this one of the most highly anticipated new PC games out there - even if we have no idea when we could possibly be seeing it.
Marvel's Blade
Developer: Arkane Studios
Release date: TBC
A standout moment from The Game Awards 2023 was the announcement that the upcoming Marvel game, Marvel's Blade, is in development. The teaser trailer lets on very little, save that the iconic vampire hero of comic book legend is to make his long-awaited return to video games at some point in the next few years. Being made in tandem with Xbox, it's not expected to load outside the Xbox Series X or PC platforms. It's a bummer for Sony fans, but good news for us PC players keen to sink our teeth into a dynamic single-player experience.
Tides of Annihilation
Developer: Eclipse Glow Games
Release date: TBC
Tides of Annihilation is an upcoming hack-and-slash fantasy adventure, set in the backdrop of London in ruins. You'll play as Gwendolyn, the city's last survivor, and must face off against mystical bosses and enemies. Thanks to Tides of Annihilation's unique setting and stunning visuals, it's grabbed a lot of attention following it's trailer release during the February 2025 PlayStation State of Play showcase. It promises to be a grand adventure with fun combat mechanics, however we are currently still pretty light on gameplay details. We'll update you as soon as we have more information.
She Dreams Elsewhere
Developer: Studio Zevere
Release date: TBC
Thalia has found herself trapped within her own mind, having to face off against her anxieties and nightmares if she wants to stand any chance of freeing herself from a coma. Looking like a cross between Undertale and Earthbound, She Dreams Elsewhere has its own twists on combat, where you can customize your party members using charms. Building Connections with your pals will also enable you to learn more about them (which sounds a bit like Persona to us). We're already entranced by the style of this one.
Stage Fright
Developer: Ghost Town Games
Release date: TBC
Stage Fright is the new co-op game from Overcooked developers Ghost Town Games. Promises plenty of its own blend of chaos for you and a pal to experience together, this two-player adventure sees you have to try and solve escape rooms, overcome obstacles, and get to the bottom of an ancient mystery. With a charming arty style, this is definitely one to watch if you're looking for something to play with a buddy.
