Coming to both Xbox and PlayStation 5 and available to wishlist now. Enjoy the announcement trailer above and some of the press release below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Just announced by Ultimate Games and coming to consoles and Steam is Construction Crew. I won’t say it is coming soon, as it has some pretty lofty goals and some big shoes to fill. Tentatively, release is set for sometime in 2026 or 2027, but a demo is set to come out this month. Check out the demo below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Daedalic Entertainment is one of those companies you probably don’t know the name of off the top of your head, but you have definitely seen their games around. In fact, I reviewed Yield! Fall of Rome Steam Review not long ago. Today, they released the first in-game look at their upcoming title, Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, and it looks fantastic. The ability to change Voyager as you make the decisions as you traverse the Delta Quadrant, as you make your way home, has been a dream for many Star Trek fans for decades.
Soon, for the first time, you will get the chance to find out if you are truly a better captain than Janeway. Enjoy the trailer, and may the gaming gods bring you glory. Also, promote Harry Kim; he deserves it.
– Build a powerful hand from occult cards found on your journey. Each card is a stolen secret or a forbidden tactic, giving you a fleeting edge against the inevitable.
– Embrace the chance to seize victory. Rolling dice unleashes raw, unpredictable power, offering high-risk, high-reward opportunities to overcome impossible odds—if you’re willing to bet your life on the outcome.
– The path is littered with eerie encounters and spectral pleas. Each event is a story waiting to be written by your choices, offering terrible bargains and glimpses into the grim world you are trapped in.
Fans of games like Inscryption will want to keep an eye on this one, which is set to release in the first quarter of 2026. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Shoreline Games and Crimson Tale today announced that the launch of their highly anticipated game, Onirism, will be delayed from its original date of September 25th to October 2nd. The delay is due to an unforeseen external factor, also known as the surprise launch of Hades 2 at this very date.
Despite the slight delay, the development team is excited to share that the game has recently surpassed 75,000 wishlists on Steam, demonstrating strong player anticipation. The extra week will allow the team to finalize preparations and ensure a smooth launch experience and enjoy Hades 2..
About Onirism
Originally released in Early Access to glowing community feedback, Onirism is a vibrant action-adventure that blends third-person shooting, puzzle-solving, and platforming across a fantastical multiverse. In version 1.0, players will experience the complete campaign of young Carol’s journey to rescue her plush toy – Bunbun – and uncover the mystery behind the portal that pulled her into a dreamlike dimension.
As part of the full release, Onirism is also proud to unveil a celebrity-studded voice cast headlined by AleXa, the award-winning K-pop sensation and recently Billboard-chart topping artist, and Anna Lauzeray-Gishi, known for her performance as Kiriko in Overwatch. They will voice the game’s protagonist Carol across the English and French versions, respectively.
In addition, YouTube personalities Benzaie and Bob Lennon lend their voices to key characters, bringing fan-favorite energy and charisma to the Onirism universe.
There is a lot to be excited about here, but for the very short round-up, come October 2nd 2025, the fantastic RPG and Japanese learning game Shujinkou will be coming to Nintendo Switch. For my PS5 review, check Shujinkou PS5 Review and Language Learning Trailer.
There are some details to know, however. There is a major price change, and for a very good and valid reason. (No, it isn’t tariffs) The PS5 and PC versions contained essentially 2 games in one: Genya and Sabaku Arcs. Each is about 40-50 hours. The Switch version cuts he price in half and sells them separately, which lowers the barrier of entry in case you want to try the game out without dedicating the price of a full game to discovering it isn’t for you. This was an intentional choice by Julian Rice and his team in hopes that more people would give the game a try.
The standard edition will be $29.99 (US), with the super deluxe being $69.99, and in my opinion, worth every single penny of it. Between the fascinating characters, the interesting story and world, and the option to get to know a new language, the game is pretty one of a kind. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer gameXcite are proud to announce Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, a brand-new story-based survival strategy game set in the Star Trek™ universe and officially licensed by Paramount Consumer Products. The title is currently in development for PC and consoles.
Set aboard the U.S.S. Voyager and deep in the unexplored reaches of the Delta Quadrant, Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown invites players to relive—and redefine—the legendary starship’s journey back to earth. The game blends exploration, ship & resource management, roguelite elements, and meaningful choices. Experience crew dynamics and a fresh take on a beloved sci-fi universe — with what-if scenarios that open up new possibilities.
Player decisions shape both the fate of the crew and the configuration of the U.S.S. Voyager itself. With each playthrough, the ship becomes a different version of itself—reengineered and reimagined based on the path taken through the quadrant and the command decisions made along the way.
“Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown is a project driven by passion—both for storytelling and for the legacy of Star Trek,” says Jonas Hüsges, COO at Daedalic Entertainment. “We’re excited to bring the U.S.S. Voyager crew back into the spotlight in a way that feels true to canon while offering new narrative frontiers to explore.”
“As lifelong fans of Star Trek, we’re thrilled to contribute to this iconic universe,” adds Daniel Bernard, Game Director at gameXcite. “This game isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about giving players the conn and letting them chart their own course through the unknown.”
In Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, players take command of the U.S.S. Voyager as it traverses 12 vast sectors of the Delta Quadrant. Along the way, they’ll manage systems and crew, engage in diplomacy, navigate difficult moral decisions, and face the unknown. Familiar faces return, but their fates may differ—reshaped by the captain on the bridge.
