  • A New Nightmare Awakens: Thai Horror Epic ‘Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit’

    A New Nightmare Awakens: Thai Horror Epic ‘Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit’

    Get ready to turn on all the lights in your room—there’s a terrifying new cinematic horror adventure heading our way, and it’s deeply rooted in rich, haunting Thai folklore.

    Indie publisher Wired Productions has officially expanded its Gamescom line-up with a major announcement: a global publishing partnership with Thailand-based developer WereBuff Studio for their highly ambitious debut title, Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit.

    Set to launch on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2027, Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit promises to deliver an atmospheric, narrative-driven horror experience unlike anything Western gamers have seen before.

    What is Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit?

    For horror fans, atmosphere is everything—and Kumarn brings it in spades. Grounded in authentic Thai mythology, the game revolves around the eerie legend of the Kuman Thong (or Kumarn), a revered divine child spirit in Thai folk religion believed to bring good luck, protection, or—if mistreated or invoked through dark rituals—incur severe misfortune and horror.

    WereBuff Studio is taking this fascinating spiritual concept and weaving it into a high-stakes, cinematic horror adventure. Players can expect:

    • Deep Narrative & Thai Lore: A story steeped in cultural myth, tradition, and psychological terror.
    • Cinematic Visuals: Powered by modern rendering techniques to create unsettling environments, terrifying spirit encounters, and visceral tension.
    • Immersive Gameplay: A focus on exploration, puzzle-solving, and survival mechanisms while navigating eerie, mythic landscapes.

    A Match Made in Indie Heaven

    Wired Productions has built a stellar reputation for backing bold, narrative-driven, and unique gaming experiences (having published acclaimed hits like The Falconeer, Martha Is Dead, and Deliver Us The Moon). Partnering with WereBuff Studio—a rising talent in Southeast Asia’s rapidly expanding gamedev scene—signals a major step forward for cultural representation in mainstream horror gaming.

    Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions, and the team at WereBuff Studio expressed tremendous excitement for bringing authentic regional folklore to a worldwide audience, highlighting that Kumarn represents a fresh, untapped direction for the psychological horror genre.

    When Can You Play It?

    Gamers attending Gamescom will be able to catch a closer look at Wired Productions’ full slate of upcoming titles, with Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit standing out as one of the most intriguing dark horses on the roster.

    While the release window is set for 2027 on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), horror aficionados should definitely add this to their wishlists early. If you’re a fan of atmospheric storytelling, Asian horror cinema, or spine-chilling lore, Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit is one nightmare you won’t want to miss.

    Pack Your Tiles: What is Hexplorando?

    • Travel Across 40 Real-World Locations: Reconstruct iconic destinations ranging from the bustling rooftops of New York City and the historical banks of the River Thames to the Great Wall of China and the sunny beaches of Rio de Janeiro.
    • Collect Famous Landmarks: As you solve puzzles, you’ll unlock hundreds of real-life monuments and natural wonders—such as the Sagrada Família, the Taj Mahal, and the Pyramids of Giza. Each unlocked landmark comes with authentic real-world photography and fascinating historical trivia.
    • Unleash Your Creativity in Sandbox Mode: Once you have completed the main puzzles, take your collected landmarks into Sandbox Mode to build, customise, and expand your own dream landscapes without limitations.
    • Relaxing Audiovisual Vibe: Complete with a meditative soundtrack, distinct ambient soundscapes for each region, and a smooth, stylised 3D art aesthetic, Hexplorando is crafted specifically to help you unwind.

    Hands-On Demo at Gamescom

  • Prepare for Space Warfare: Team Complex Unveils Epic Era One Multiplayer Mode Ahead of Gamescom!

    Prepare for Space Warfare: Team Complex Unveils Epic Era One Multiplayer Mode Ahead of Gamescom!

    Sci-fi RTS fans, assemble! British independent studio Team Complex has officially dropped a brand-new trailer for its ambitious space strategy title, Era One, right ahead of Gamescom 2026.

    The latest gameplay trailer shines a bright spotlight on the game’s heavily anticipated multiplayer mode, giving commanders their very first look at head-to-head tactical space combat against real opponents. If you’ve been itching to test your fleet designs and base-building strategies against rival players in real-time, your moment is rapidly approaching.

    Tactical Combat Meets Unmatched Customisation

    Era One has already caught the attention of real-time strategy enthusiasts thanks to its deep mix of sandbox base building, resource management, and tactical fleet warfare. Born from a team with legendary roots in the 90s modding scene—including the acclaimed Complex mod for Homeworld—Team Complex is bringing serious RTS pedigree to the table.

    In Era One, you aren’t just giving orders to static units; you’re building them piece by piece. Key highlights showcased in the new gameplay reveal include:

    • Competitive Player-vs-Player Warfare: For the first time, players can face off in intense 1v1 tactical battles and custom multiplayer matches across the cosmos.
    • Modular Base & Ship Design: Build massive space stations, sprawling orbital cities, and bespoke warships using modular components. Customise everything from hull layouts to utility systems and heavy weaponry to fit your playstyle.
    • Gripping Lore & Atmosphere: Set in a distant future where humanity has fled a depleted Earth, you follow the journey of Alya De Shars through a shattered universe—all set against a hauntingly beautiful original piano soundtrack by Alberto Selvaggi.

    Playable at Gamescom 2026 (Plus Big News Incoming!)

    If you are heading to Gamescom in Cologne, Germany (August 26–30), you won’t have to settle for just watching the trailer.

    Team Complex will be hosting hands-on demos for the multiplayer mode at the Home of Indies booth in Hall 10.2. Attendees will get to jump straight into the captain’s chair and try out the base-building and multiplayer combat mechanics firsthand.

    Even bigger news: Team Complex has confirmed that during the show, they will officially reveal the long-awaited 1.0 full release date as Era One prepares to graduate out of Early Access.

    How to Get Involved

    If you can’t wait until Gamescom, Era One is currently available in Early Access on Steam, where it continues to hold “Very Positive” user reviews. Check out the official trailer today, wishlist the game on Steam, and prepare your fleet for intergalactic domination.
