Konami’s Suikoden II adaptation put Riliu, Jowy, Nanami, Viktor and Flik on one key visual ahead of an October 2026 premiere. The lineup says more about the adaptation’s scope than the staff list does.
Steam still says nothing more precise than 2026, but Graveyard Keeper 2 has screenshots now. Undead workers staff the benches, a defence layer guards the town, and the automation loop is doing the heavy lifting the original made you do on foot.
Chucklefish and Robotality's witch-college life sim sits at number 10 on Steam's most-wishlisted chart with a release window that reads only "2026". Here is what close to a decade of development has actually produced.
Halo Studios rebuilt Combat Evolved in Unreal Engine 5 and the sandbox is still untouchable, but the writing hands the Chief a personality he was never meant to have, turns a death cult into a political faction, and lets Cortana explain the mystery. Beautiful, and the wrong version to start on.
Butterscotch Shenanigans turned a schoolyard argument into a roguelike autobattler, and it works. Forty two dude types, hundreds of rule bending relics and an escalation curve that ends with a hundred little men against a wall of geese. Funny, deep enough to theorycraft, and it is on your phone too.
Prideful Sloth's hands-on town builder finally left early access, and it is transformed by a second controller. The opening hours drag and it is a tycoon game rather than the Animal Crossing clone some people want, but the co-op and its host permission controls make it a rare management sim you can genuinely play with your kids.
A twin-stick roguelike where you play the infection, tear organelles out of the cells you kill and bolt them onto your own body. The build system is the most inventive thing I have played all year, and I lost a week of evenings to it. The basic movement rules are the weak link.
Melbourne's Gameclaw Studio built a side-scrolling RPG about rebuilding a dwarven home one rescued kinsman at a time, and I lost a string of evenings to it. Gorgeous pixel art, a compulsive settlement loop and honest jank in the combat. Recommended.
I bounced off Palworld hard in early access. Version 1.0 fixed the jank, killed the worst of the grind and bolted a real endgame onto the catch-shoot-build loop. Two and a half years later, the meme game became one of the best survival crafters on PC.
