«Artificial Detective» - Robo-Sherlock

Do you still know the «Hunter: The Reckoning» games from the noughties? Then you can look forward to a new spin-off, which is due to be released next summer. The game series is set in the «World of Darkness» universe - the fictional world in which «Vampire: The Masquerade» is also set.

«Everquest Legends» - a legend returns
The MMORPG «Everquest», originally released in 1999, returns in a revised version. You can now play through the entire adventure alone. Visually, the new edition should be close to the original. However, the gameplay and menus have been adapted to «modern gaming standards».

A dark action game inspired by Korean history and myths. The developer studio promises «brutal swordplay» and «atmospheric storytelling in a world where myth and history collide.»

«Hoarder» - surreal horror
This horror game begins as a cleaning simulator in which you have to clean a messy flat. And suddenly you wake up in a cursed submarine. Huh? What, how, where? No idea, but the trailer makes you want more.
Date: ???

«Arbiter 131» - Sci-Fi Strategy
You command a special police unit and ensure law and order in a futuristic cyberpunk city. Often chaos too, because the environment can be destroyed.
Date: ???
Released for: PC
«Lost & Found» - all in one
What a cool art style. «Lost & Found» combines seemingly incompatible styles to create a coherent overall picture. Hand-drawn 2D characters, pixelated retro figures and surreal-looking PNG fish run around in this bizarre world. Your task is to find lost objects. The adventure mystery game is being developed by a Filipino solo dev.
Date: ???
Released for: PC
«Escape by Spoon» - Prison Break
You have to escape from a prison. With a spoon. Good luck. The trailer impresses with visuals reminiscent of cartoons from the 1930s. It's not the only game on this list that draws inspiration from old animation classics.
Date: ???
Released for: PC
Trailer updates for games already announced
These games and expansions have already been unveiled and will receive new trailers offering in-depth insights into gameplay and story.
«Pokémon Champions» - a revolution (?)
The battle simulator «Pokémon Champions» could revolutionise the «Pokémon» world. The new trailer gives an overview of the functions and game modes.
I tested the free-to-play game at the European «Pokémon» Championships in London and spoke to Producer and Development Director Masaaki Hoshino. You can find out why the game is so important in this article:
Date: 8 April
Released for: Switch, Switch 2, later also iOS and Android
«Stranger Than Heaven» - wow
One of my most anticipated games of 2026 - if it actually comes this year. The game is being developed by «Yakuza» and «Like a Dragon» studio Ryu Ga Gotoku. The new trailer reveals exciting details. The game is set in a total of five cities in five different time periods: 1915, 1929, 1943, 1951 and 1965. «Yakuza» fans should recognise one location: Kamurocho (yaaay!). The game looks a lot more ambitious than anything the studio has produced before. It's also the first title not to be released for last-gen consoles. Ah, and Snoop Dogg is in the trailer. Awesome
More information should be available on 6 May.
Date: ???
Released for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
«The Expanse: Osiris Reborn» - new impressions of the sci-fi adaptation
I've never seen «The Expanse». That's why you shouldn't put too much stock in my impressions of the new trailer. I think: You can do it, it looks like an epic sci-fi story. What's more important is what the fans think. And they seem to be very happy - at least if you read through the comments under the video. A closed beta starts as early as 22 April.
Date: early 2027
Released for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
«Raw Components Racing» - Racing in the future
A racing game with a futuristic sci-fi setting. The vehicles are modular, so you can build your own perfect racing car. What's more - you are your car. Thanks to modern technology, your consciousness merges with the built-in technology.
Date: ???
Released for: ???
«Scenic» - Escape & Chill
A calming escape room game with a marvellous pixel look. You click your way through various beautiful scenarios (all of which I would like to download as wallpaper) and solve little puzzles. A game to meditate on.
Date: ???
Released for: PC
«Kalit» - Cartoon-Survival
And here it is, the promised second cartoon-looking game. «Kalit» is an open-world survival game. You collect resources, capture wild creatures and craft shelters and means of transport. A demo is available on Steam.
Date: ???
Released for: PC
Trailers for games that have already been released
These games have already been released, but will receive updates or other new information
«S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl» - back to the zone
The first major expansion for the atmospheric shooter.

Released for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
«Dying Light: The Beast Restored Land Edition» - Version 2.0?
«Dying Light: The Beast» is receiving such a fundamental update that developer studio Techland is talking about a «new edition». The biggest innovation: Neither enemies nor loot respawn. If you kill all the zombies in an area, the map will be restored to its pre-apocalypse state. Cool: The update is free if you already own the main game.
In my review last year, I wasn't so convinced by the brutal (!) zombie action thriller:
Date: 26 March
Released for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
«Apex Legends: Aftershock Event» - here we go!
And the next «Apex Legends» event is coming up. I'm no longer in the loop - it's been several years since my last match. But I like what I see in the trailer. Should I try a round again?
Date: 31 March
Released for: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
«Project Motor Racing: Update 2.0» - is that enough?
The major update is intended to improve many criticisms of the racing sim. The UI has been revised, the physics system should be more realistic and the controls have been adapted for several car classes. The career mode has also been given a facelift.
Will that be enough to save the game? At launch, «Project Motor Racing» was sharply criticised by many fans of the genre. This included our expert Simon, who warns in his playthrough report: «You should definitely keep your hands off it at the moment.»
Date: as of now
Released for: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC
«Call of Duty: Warzone & Black Ops 7 Season 3» - the shooting continues
Hooray, a new «Call of Duty» season is here. In «Black Ops 7» multiplayer with new maps, new zombies maps, revised maps, new game modes and new weapons, among other things. There are also changes in «Warzone» with adjustments to the map, new game modes and numerous balancing fixes.
If you like the music in the trailer: It's by JVB, a damn good hip-hop duo from the USA. The track is called «Hooligang». Make sure you listen to it.
Date: 2 April
Released for: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
