Old School Inspired – Lair of Leviathan (RPG) 2027 All platforms – Teaser Trailer

Deck13 Spotlight is proud to announce Lair of the Leviathan, an old-school RPG developed by the talented teams of Nostalgic Realms and Whiskybarrel Studios, two solo developers who joined forces to create the game of their dreams, as no one else was willing to take on this mission.

wo developers, one quest

RPGs have lost their identity over the last decades. Once, they were about exploring and writing your own adventure. Getting lost in interesting side quests, forming a party, and fighting well-balanced turn-based battles. Large worlds to explore at your own pace. Handcrafted dungeons and towns brimming with detail and life. A world the players experience in mind, instead of showcasing bombast all over the place. Game maps that beckon you to forge your own path rather than a task list of quest markers.

That’s what Lair of the Leviathan is all about. We’re hoping to bring back what was great about RPGs. That intangible magic that somehow got lost along the way. Inspired by legendary series such as Ultima and Pools of Radiance, with a mix of the early Baldur’s Gate games. All visualized in a stunning pixel-art style as seen in the official Announcement Teaser.

nnounced among friends

Lair of the Leviathan was revealed during the Announcement Event for Drova II – Torn Lands, another old-school RPG to be published by Deck13 Spotlight, where frenetic applause echoed in the old dungeon-like location when the last scene revealed amazing cover art by Matt Stawicki, and everyone knew that this marks the return of the era of RPGs.

Lair of the Leviathan was officially announced for PC and Consoles. Gamers can now wishlist on Steam and GOG. A first Announcement Teaser has been released, with further details to follow in the coming months.

The Alters Complete Edition Lands on PlayStation 5 on 20 November

The only person you can rely on is yourself. And another yourself. And another. Silver Lining Interactive and 11 bit studios are thrilled to announce that The Alters Complete Edition, inclusive of Last Variable DLC, will officially launch for PlayStation 5 on 20 November for £34.99/€39.99/$39.99. 

In The Alters, you play as Jan Dolski, a simple worker  attempting to outrun a deadly sunrise in a massive rolling base on a deadly planet. To survive, Jan extracts the quantum element Rapidium to forge “Alters” – cloned versions of himself rooted in the life choices he never made.

Along with the complete base game and 4 Deluxe Outfits, The Alters Complete Edition comes fully integrated with the new story expansion, Last Variable. This major story DLC focuses on the Jan Scientist alter, who can finally pursue his true calling (outside of just survival) – research.

The Variable Left Behind

Following the base campaign’s split ending where Jan Scientist stays behind on the hostile planet, The Last Variable expansion adds roughly 20 hours of story content centered around managing a static underground base and specialized scientist clones. Together, your team works to unlock a mysterious surface ecosystem called the Oasis, weathering 13-year heat phases via cryosleep while surface-bound Alters age and endure harsh environmental threats. But will they change once faced with the vulnerability of ageing? 

The Alters Complete Edition brings the definitive Jan Dolski survival experience to physical media for the very first time, packing both the acclaimed base game and The Last Variable expansion onto a single PlayStation 5 disc. Collectors can pre-order their copy today at major retailers ahead of its November 20th release. 

The Alters Complete Edition – What’s Inside?

  • Base Game – Experience an award-winning, story-driven sci-fi survival game.  
  • Last Variable DLC – Follow the story of Jan Scientist who stays behind on the planet. Average playtime is estimated at 20 hours.
  • 4 Deluxe Outfits – Spacesuit and Tracksuit, in silver and gold options.

Recently, at JanduSoft, we are thrilled to announce that Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire is coming to PlayStation 5 and XBOX on September 30th.

Developed by Portuguese studio Digitality Games, Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire is a fun action-farming roguelite set in Transylvania, the homeland of none other than Dracula.

During the day, players will have to grow their own crops using magical seeds, expand their farm, and explore new territories while gathering the food needed to make Voltaire stronger. Every crop grown will be one step closer to becoming the world’s first vegan vampire.
But once night falls, things will get complicated. Dracula is not willing to accept his son’s choices and will send his minions to destroy his crops and force him back onto a “proper” vampire diet. Players will have to defend their crops against hordes of supernatural creatures and face powerful bosses using Voltaire’s vampiric abilities and powers.

Port of Jumanah Has Set Sail on Steam, Epic, and PlayStation Store

 Red Dunes Games and Agate today announced that Port of Jumanah is now available on Steam, Epic, and PlayStation Store. Divers will also be tempted by a new full-release trailer showcasing the game’s fast-paced underwater expeditions, exotic sea creatures, vibrant worlds, and evolving port.

In Port of Jumanah, you play as Mansour, a pearl diver about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Descend fearlessly into dangerous waters to fight sea monsters, experiment with new equipment and upgrades, and make decisions that shape each expedition. Back on shore, the resources and allies that you recover will help rebuild Jumanah’s port and open new possibilities for future runs.

“Port of Jumanah is an homage to our region’s Pearl Diving history…with a delightful touch of nonsense. At its heart is an upbeat Arabian regular guy who always seems to encounter dangerous and often cute things (but mostly dangerous) with a cheerful disposition and sheer grit. Whether you play casually or hardcore, just remember the often-forgotten rule of the sea: if it looks suspicious, it probably is. Enjoy, habibi.” said Sultan Darmaki, CEO and Creative Director at Red Dunes Games.

Key features include:

  • Dive into ever-changing danger: Explore the depths, confront sea monsters, and discover new opportunities during each expedition.
  • Build a powerful loadout: Upgrade your gear and experiment with different combos to tackle increasingly dangerous encounters.
  • Recruit unusual allies: Meet a colorful cast of characters who can help (or complicate) the journey.
  • Rebuild the port: Bring your discoveries back to Jumanah and transform the port as progress continues.
  • A playful maritime adventure: Experience a colorful, story-rich world filled with humor, fantasy, and decisions that you’ll probably regret.

Maneater 2 announcement trailer

Maneater was a blast. Pure and simple. Fun, goofy, bloody, weirdly educational fun. Seeing confirmation we’re getting a sequel absolutely brought a smile to my face. I can’t wait to see what kind of bizarre mutations we’ll get and hopefully some new ways to devour our prey. I liked that there will be new predators as well to face off against. As you’d imagine, I’m really pumped to dive back in as a shark. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Until Dawn 2 release date trailer

I’m still very confused how this is a sequel to Until Dawn. I gave some leigh way when the Until Dawn 2 reveal trailer dropped. After getting a more in depth look, I’m still fairly convinced the title was tacked on for brand recognition. On it’s own, the game looks nice visually so far. The story elements aren’t really grabbing me so far. I’ll keep an eye out but in the end I’m not really anywhere near as hyped as I should be. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Psychological Horror, Perceptum, announces release window across all platforms

As you all know, we here at Savior Gaming love horror movies and games. It is just kind of what we do, so when Perceptum popped up in my email, you can say I perked up a little bit. Alone in a house with a mirror, seeing weird and scary stuff is definitely something with potential, and I will be keeping an eye on it.

Coming toPlayStation 5, Xbox Series, andSteam in Spring 2027, here is everything you need to know about Perceptum and why you might get the feeling you’re being watched when the title drops:

·         An empty house. A missing family. A mystery the police couldn’t solve. Playing as a Medium, you’ll investigate a cold and seemingly quiet case. Equipped with only a mirror to see what the naked eye can’t and a “gift” to home in on sounds when closing your eyes, the oppressive family home will be yours to search for clues and solve puzzles. Are you brave enough to find out what truly happened here?

·         Risk and reward go hand-in-hand with vulnerability playing a leading role. Hidden traces are scattered throughout the house and with your only two mechanics to help guide you, every creek, whisper, and scuttle will be felt to your core.

·         An inescapable, intense atmosphere not for the faint hearted. The feeling of being watched. A suspicious shadow. An unexplainable distant noise. You are certainly not alone. The house feels and follows your every move, daring you to question every detail.

JOIN US Announces PlayStation 5 Day One Launch, As the Cult Descends on Gamescom

Join Us from Wolf Haus Games is a game I have been watching for a while now and have been dying to get my hands on. It was previously announced for PC and Xbox, and will now release on PlayStation 5.

Now, for those not familiar with the title, you are a cult leader, and you obviously have to start and run a cult. The map is a staggering 6 sq km of handcrafted dark comedy, because nothing says comedy like you and your friends running a cult. Don’t worry, the game is playable alone, but come on, who starts a cult and doesn’t bring their friends?

The game is set to release in March 2027, so we have a bit of a wait, but it will be worth it to worship the Gaming Gods in the virtual world the way they deserve. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
