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.
Developer Frozen Way Studio, in partnership with publisher Snail Games USA, have revealed that their survival sandbox game Honeycomb: The World Beyond will launch September 8th on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series platforms. You won’t have to wait that long to play it, as a demo is coming to Steam on August 31st! Gamescom attendees will also be able to play it at Hall 8.1, A-041. Prepare for a journey of scientific exploration and survival on an awe-inspiring planet that can be both incredibly friendly – and slightly hostile.
Honeycomb: The World Beyond puts players in the astro boots of Hennessy, a pioneer forging an expedition on an uninhabited, mysterious planet that could be the key to saving mankind. Explore the world of Sota7 and uncover its secrets. From calm forests and vibrant jungles to vast fields spread at the foot of a mysterious volcano, every trek through its diverse terrain is sure to leave a lasting impression. Carve out a home for yourself and use that safe space to further your research. Play your part in saving the Earth’s ecosystem through experimenting with innovative bioengineering mechanics on Sota7.
Gathering information about an ecosystem is a crucial part of a bioengineer’s work. Analyze samples and procure resources carefully in order to find familiar patterns and understand this world. This will help you create new, fascinating life forms that will harmonize with its alien environment. Hennessy’s understanding of Sota7’s new ecosystem will be fundamental in solving the problems back on Earth. Use innovative in-game mechanics such as allogamy and grafting to create hybrids that could change the world. Unleash your inner scientist and become a master of the art of crossbreeding.
A true explorer needs a safe haven to rest and contemplate if they’re to succeed. Plan and build your perfect modular base as a means of shelter, as well as a lab to carry out your experiments, report progress, and rest. Inspired by natural shapes found in Art Nouveau, the modular design of your base isn’t just a visual feature, but also a strategic advantage that allows you to adapt to your changing needs as an explorer and a scientist. Nestled within your base lies a sanctuary of profound significance: the laboratory. Here you can grow as a scientist and bioengineer. Gather resources and create varied laboratory devices to experiment with samples collected during the exploration of the world. Cultivate plants to decorate your place as well as yield a satisfying harvest. Ensure your base is a habitat that matches its surroundings in form and function.
“Honeycomb: The World Beyond is our realization of the dream of intergalactic adventuring. Of landing on a strange new planet and having to figure out how it functions on an organic level,” said developers at Frozen Way. “We wanted to capture both the awesome wonder of a strange, new world, as well as the creative freedom that comes from taming it your own way. “Honeycomb: The World Beyond offers a world of discovery and innovation, and we can’t wait for you to touch down on Sota 7 on September 8th!”
Frozen Way Studio has partnered with NVIDIA to integrate advanced features such as NVIDIA RTXDI, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 with Ray Reconstruction, Multi Frame Generation and Reflex to deliver a visually stunning and immersive experience.

Gamers who crave juicy, good old RPGs with a unique battle system should definitely keep an eye on Crystals Of Irm. Our game will grace PC, PlayStation 4, 5, XBOX One, Series S|X and Nintendo Switch later this year. To build up some hype among our fellow gamers, the release window reveal is backed by a flawless trailer and a signature Deck13 Spotlight move – Mark your calendars for ***BER 2026!
Deck13 Spotlight and developer David Schütze are thrilled to invite all players to the beautiful world of Crystals Of Irm later this year! Your party of three brave heroes follows the archetypes known from beloved classic retro RPGs: fighter, mage, and ranger. They will test their might by exploring dangerous dungeons and traversing the vast lands of Irm with its cities, villages, and towns (in first-person 3D!) full of citizens awaiting your assistance. A complex combat system makes the gameplay challenging but never unfair.
In Crystals Of Irm, you will lead a party of heroes – proud representatives of three unique guilds, each embracing a different combat style, but sharing the same quest: to restore the long-lost Crystals that must be united once again. But it’s no easy task. Legends speak of three horrifying dungeons where the Crystals were mysteriously hidden. Many before our heroes have succumbed on this glorious mission. Will you join them, or will you bathe in glory? Do not forget that the world of Irm is huge and unforgiving. You have a long way to go before you even touch the entrance to those horrific places…
May the Crystals shine for you, travelers!
But brave heroes also need some time to rest. Set up camp and gather your party around a hot pot of delicious stew. Fish in the lovely ponds around Irm, and enjoy vibrant, one-of-a-kind cities featuring unique characters in every single one.
Crystals Of Irm will put a smile on the face of every single retro RPG fan with its massive overworld map and first-person dungeon-crawling elements. The combat system adds some much-needed freshness to the genre with one-of-a-kind, movement-based grid battles. Suddenly, from classic systems, you will be pulled straight into modern, fast-paced battles, where movement is key to casting spells or unleashing powerful attacks. On top of that, just like in a proper bullet hell, your agility will be tested because the key to survival is dodging enemy attack sequences.

Ok guys, I just don’t see it. I’ve seen this trailer a few times and I’ve read the comments about how this looks so much like the games and is paying homage to the games and there is Easter eggs to the games all over but I just don’t see it. The movie looks fine. Knowing Cregger’s previous works (oh boy I got a lot to say about them), I can say it’ll be competently done but I feel like this is basically just his take on a RE story. And that checks out from all the interviews and posts I’ve seen regarding the story and characters. I also know it’ll be weird and off putting but literally nothing I’ve seen or heard says “Resident Evil” to me. I’m cautious as hell given it’s the 4th major attempt at a live action adaptation. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Team up with up to four friends as you control extremely flammable wooden vessels, breaking into underground ruins to salvage loot for your Outpost base. Be wary of monsters, your friends griefing you, and going too deep and discovering the Rot as you try to make it back in one piece and survive the next run.
Each time your vessel catches fire or gets smashed to pieces, your Living Spark will need to find and possess a new one, allowing you to keep riding the cursed elevator deeper in the search for loot. Furniture can be smashed to splinters as you use the debris for resources or feed it to the Grinder for gold.
Create your own chaos by sending your pal’s Spark out of their vessel or simply leave them to fend for themselves against a horde of monsters. Who needs enemies when you have friends like these? Troll wisely, though: if everyone breaks then your loot is lost forever.
Grain Rot will be released on PC via Steam on August 7, 2026.
Tempest Rising, the acclaimed best-selling real-time strategy game from Saber Interactive’s 3D Realms publishing label, Knights Peak, and developer Slipgate Ironworks, has released a new demo today on Steam for TactiCon featuring the first two missions from the new full-fledged single-player campaign for the game’s upcoming third playable faction: the Veti. Experience the next chapter in Tempest Rising‘s ongoing story in command of a unique force designed around subjugating and sacrificing its fallen enemies to power its conquest.
With Tempest Rising‘s new TactiCon demo, players can experience the first two missions from the enigmatic Veti’s upcoming story campaign, as well as the first two missions from the previous Global Defense Force and Tempest Dynasty campaigns. Players can also get a taste of the Veti faction on the battlefield in skirmish mode and custom multiplayer games.
The complete Veti faction, including a dedicated 11-mission single-player campaign and full integration in multiplayer, skirmish mode and custom games, will arrive later this year in “The Veti’s Wrath” expansion. Players will be able to experience the final chapter of the Tempest Rising saga, as the ancient and brutal Veti battle to reunite their technologically superior forces, turn the tide against humanity, and reclaim their place in a world they once ruled.
Nominated for Best Sim/Strategy title at The Game Awards, Tempest Rising transports you to a battle-scarred 1997 in an alternate timeline where the Cuban Missile Crisis went nuclear. From epic single-player campaigns to ranked multiplayer and skirmish mode, you’ll experience fast, hard-hitting gameplay with classic RTS base building and unique asymmetrical factions. Take command of the battlefield, lead your armies in all-out warfare, and execute bold strategies to emerge victorious.
In Verho – Curse of Faces, players take on the role of nameless protagonists exploring the hostile world of Yariv, where masks serve as essential protection and bearers of identity. Each mask represents a specific class, ranging from powerful melee fighters to agile duelists and mighty mages. The system offers maximum freedom: Instead of being bound by rigid constraints, flexible character development allows players to specialize in any direction they choose. Players can freely develop their individual class concepts at any time, regardless of their initial choice. The gameplay is characterized by a synergy of exploratory elements and combat challenges.
The visual presentation is inspired by the 32-bit era. Through the deliberate use of low-poly models and rough textures, the game captures the nostalgic PlayStation 1 aesthetic. These intentional technical limitations reinforce the game’s oppressive atmosphere and give it a unique identity.
Key Features
Mysterious masks and an ominous curse – In a world where showing one’s face leads to certain death, the residents are forced to hide behind unique masks. The protagonist sets off for the land of Yariv to uncover the origins of the deadly curse.
A sinister world and its inhabitants – In addition to the story of the curse, Yariv is full of NPCs who carry their unique circumstances and traumas. Behind a large number of characters lie further quests, mysterious challenges, and unique personalities.
Build variety, melee fighters, and magical abilities – Verho – Curse of Faces offers a wide range of weapons, abilities, and spells that completely alter the gameplay. Players will experience combat in a brand new and unique way with every new playthrough.
Dark Fantasy RPG in the spirit of King’s Field – Verho – Curse of Faces celebrates the dark fantasy RPG genre established by icons such as King’s Field. With authentic PS1-era retro graphics, Verho – Curse of Faces offers players neo-retro charm that appeals not only to children of the 90s.
Regular updates for Verho – Curse of Faces can be found on the CTG Social Media channels Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and Facebook.
You can find Verho – Curse of Faces here on Steam for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
