Newly announced games
These titles have been newly announced.
"Vampirium: 1997"
Who needs graphics? This gameplay walkthrough for "Vampirium: 1997" shows an extremely minimalist user interface, with lots of text and subtle visual accents. Gameplay-wise, you can expect an "immersive sandbox" where you can solve missions in many different ways. Refreshingly different.
Date: ???
Releases for: PC
"In Tenebris"
We're sticking with minimalist graphics. In this game, you are blind and navigate using echolocation. The more noise you make, the more likely enemies are to hear you. Great idea for a horror game!
Date: ???
Releases for: PC
"King in the Mountain"
And on we go with minimalism. The trailer for "King in the Mountain" is reminiscent of games like "Dwarf Fortress". You play an exiled king in a mountain who wants to regain power with gold, gems, and artifacts.
Date: ???
Releases for: PC
Trailer updates for already announced games
These games and expansions have already been announced and are receiving new trailers that offer deeper insights into gameplay and story.

Urban Games presents a new gameplay video for "Transport Fever 3". Train fans can look forward to a smoother interface, sophisticated environmental features, and full mod support right at release. However, a release date is still missing. You can read more about the game in this news article:

Like the Backrooms, but above the clouds. You are trapped in a "liminal space" and must escape by searching for small anomalies. The trailer suggests that the title plays somewhat like "Exit 8".
Date: July 21

"The Henchmen"
"We have 'GTA' at home."

Fancy "Dragon Ball"? The new "Xenoverse" game shows deeper impressions of the gameplay and combat system in the new trailer. Looks great. Franziska agrees, having already captured her first impressions in this preview:
Trailers for already released games
These games have already been released but are receiving updates or other new information.
"Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations"
A deep dive into the "Doom: The Dark Ages" DLC "Revelations". My impression: Yep, looks like "Doom". I wish the employees of id Software all the best with it – after all, their studio was particularly hard hit by the latest wave of Microsoft layoffs.
Date: Available now
Releases for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
"Dune Awakening"
Funcom's "Dune" MMO is making the leap to consoles. With the port, the game also receives a major update, also for PC. The most significant new feature is a single-player mode. You can find out what else to expect in the video.
You can read Phil's impressions of the PC version in this article:
Date: September 22
Releases for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, already available for PC

The unusual sci-fi survival game receives an approximately 20-hour (!) expansion. You can read what colleague Kevin thinks about the base game in his review:
Date: July 13
Releases for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
"Cronos: Lazarus"
Whoohoo! The excellent "Cronos: The New Dawn" is also getting an expansion. It is supposed to be significantly more action-oriented than the original. If you haven't played the game yet, you should definitely catch up – a must for all horror fans.
Date: Late 2026
Releases for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, PC
"Tetris 99"
Hmm, maybe I should play a round of "Tetris 99" again. In the new Cup Event, there's a fancy "Star Fox" skin as a reward.
Date: Until July 13
Releases for: Switch
My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
From the latest iPhone to the return of 80s fashion. The editorial team will help you make sense of it all.
