If you grew up breaking Wumpa crates and hoarding dragon eggs, here is everything you need to know about this massive nostalgia-packed drop.
What’s Included in the Crash & Spyro Crossover?
Epic Games dropped a teaser trailer showcasing the iconic duo in action, and they’re bringing plenty of fan service along for the ride.
Crash Bandicoot (Outfit & Edit Styles)
The wild orange marsupial is arriving as a full Outfit Skin.
Modern Style: Crash comes equipped with his updated, high-definition look straight out of his modern titles like Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.
Retro Low-Poly Style: For true PlayStation 1 veterans, Crash comes with an alternative retro PS1 polygon style, letting you run around the Fortnite island looking like a 1996 classic sprite.
Back Bling & Pickaxe Potential: While full bundle details are kept under wraps until the shop reset, teasers hint at Aku Aku making an appearance alongside Crash’s trusty Wumpa Fruit.
Spyro the Dragon (Sidekick / Companion)
Everyone’s favourite purple dragon is making his Fortnite debut in a slightly different format—as a Sidekick / Companion!
Reignited Look: Modelled after his sharp, colourful aesthetics from the Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
Animations: The teaser showed off Spyro doing his signature sneeze-fireball animation, proving he’s packed with personality.
Colour Variants: In addition to his classic purple look, Spyro will also come with a Blue edit style, paying homage to classic colour-swap power-ups!
Release Date: When Can You Get Them?
The Fortnite: Override update has already seen a massive influx of classic gaming icons like Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man.
While Epic hasn’t dropped an exact hour for the Item Shop countdown, official teasers confirm that the N. Sane Duo will drop in the Item Shop later this week, with expectations pointing directly toward the upcoming weekend shop rotation.

For over a decade, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege has been the ultimate test of fast reflexes, twitch precision, and high-stakes competitive multiplayer. But if you’ve been longing for a return to the franchise’s deep, single-player tactical roots—or simply want to command a squad without a teammate ruining your strategy—Ubisoft has answered your prayers.
Freshly revealed during Gamescom 2026, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Tactics is pivoting the iconic series in a bold new direction: a single-player, turn-based tactical RPG featuring fan-favourite Siege Operators.
Here is your first look at what to expect from Ubisoft’s high-stakes tactical spin-off.
A Return to Single-Player Planning
Rainbow Six Tactics marks the franchise’s first dedicated single-player title since Rainbow Six Vegas 2 in 2008. Stepping into the shoes of “Six,” the leader of Team Rainbow, players are tasked with leading elite squads across 45+ globetrotting missions—ranging from Target Elimination and Bomb Disposal to high-pressure Hostage Rescues.
Instead of aiming down the barrel of a gun in first-person, you’ll oversee the battlefield from a crisp, top-down isometric perspective. But don’t expect the slow pace of standard strategy titles; Tactics is built from the ground up to capture the claustrophobic tension of tactical room breaches.
Iconic Siege Operators, Reimagined
At launch, Tactics brings 15 beloved Siege Operators into the turn-based arena (including staples like Sledge, Ash, and Nøkk), each belonging to specialised classes.
Every Operator comes equipped with:
Signature Gadgets: Sledge’s breaching hammer, drone intelligence, and tactical gadgets are fully integrated into grid-based action points.
Deep Skill Trees: Customise and upgrade your operators to fit your playstyle.
Class Synergies: Combine abilities to set up brutal, coordinated ambushes.
Destruction Meets Turn-Based Strategy
What truly sets Rainbow Six Tactics apart from game-changers like XCOM is how it adapts Siege’s legendary environmental destruction.
Cover isn’t permanent. Walls, floors, and barricades can be blown to pieces by both your squad and the enemy. If a doorway is heavily guarded, you don’t have to push through—you can simply blast a hole through an adjacent wall to create brand-new lines of sight and flanking routes.
Ubisoft has also modernised the classic Rainbow Six Synchronised Breach mechanics:
Plan the Assault: Select multiple entry points (doors, windows, soft walls).
Assign Actions: Coordinate up to 12 precise decisions across 4 operators—assigning flashbangs, breaching charges, and target priorities.
Hit Execute: Watch your squad storm the room simultaneously, clearing hostiles before standard turn-based combat kicks back in.
High Stakes: Permadeath and Ironman Mode
For hardcore strategy enthusiasts, Ubisoft is bringing serious stakes. Rainbow Six Tactics features optional Permadeath and Ironman modes. If an Operator takes severe injuries or falls in combat, they can be permanently lost for the remainder of your campaign. Because each of the 15 Operators is completely unique and non-replaceable, losing a high-level specialist will force you to drastically adapt your squad composition for future missions.
When Can You Play?
Rainbow Six Tactics is set to launch on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S (as well as launch day access via Ubisoft+).
Whether you’re a long-time tactical mastermind or a Siege veteran looking to test your brain over your aim, Rainbow Six Tactics is shaping up to be one of the most exciting single-player strategy releases on the horizon.
Gamers, brace yourselves. In just two days—on August 27—you’ll be able to embark on an unforgettable, heart-wrenching journey into the harrowing depths of the A Plague Tale universe.
Asobo Studio and Focus Entertainment are taking the acclaimed narrative series in an exciting new direction with Resonance: #APlagueTale Legacy. Forget everything you thought you knew; this latest instalment shifts the spotlight, expands the lore, and plunges players into a brand-new nightmare rooted in ancient mystery and dark myth.
A New Heroine, Ancient Myths, and Dark Secrets
Set 15 years before the tragic events of A Plague Tale: Requiem, Resonance follows the story of Sophia, the fierce and capable smuggler who won over fans’ hearts in previous games.
Driven by personal turmoil and cryptic ties to the ancient history of the Prima Macula, Sophia sets sail for the enigmatic and deadly Minotaur’s Island. What awaits her isn’t just an army in pursuit, but terrifying trials, mind-bending puzzles, and a monstrous legend brought to horrific life.
As you navigate the treacherous island, you will uncover the dark secrets lurking in its subterranean ruins and face emotional beats that promise to be just as soul-crushing as the original saga.
Revamped Gameplay & Dual-Timeline Mechanics
If you loved the stealth-heavy focus of Amicia and Hugo’s tale, get ready for an evolution. Resonance leans heavily into refined action-adventure mechanics tailored to Sophia’s combat expertise:
Fluid Combat System: Master parries, swift counters, and brutal finishing moves with Sophia’s signature arsenal.
Dual-Timeline Exploration: One of the game’s most ambitious additions is a dual-timeline mechanic where players can bridge the gap between the Middle Ages and the Minoan period—allowing actions in the ancient past to reshape the environment in the present day.
Heart-Pounding Stealth & Puzzles: High-stakes evasion and environmental problem-solving return, larger and more atmospheric than ever before.
Where and How to Play
The wait is almost over. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy officially arrives on August 27 across all major modern platforms:
PlayStation 5
Xbox Series X|S (Day One on Xbox Game Pass)
PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store)
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the series looking to unravel the origins of the Macula, or a newcomer ready for an adrenaline-fueled mythical adventure, clear your weekend schedule. The Minotaur’s Island is calling, and its secrets won’t stay buried for long.
Pre-orders are live now, and Game Pass subscribers can pre-load today to dive in the second servers go live!
Get ready to deploy your wriggly, heavily armed soldiers because Team17 has officially pulled back the curtain on the next evolution of invertebrate warfare! Unveiled during Gamescom Opening Night Live, Worms: Galactic Tactics is taking the beloved 30-year-old franchise into bold new territory by swapping traditional side-scrolling mayhem for a deep, 3D tactical roguelike experience.
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if XCOM and Mario + Rabbids met the chaotic, explosive energy of Worms, this is it.
A New Dimension of Wormy Warfare
In Worms: Galactic Tactics, players step into the Galactic Gauntlet—a gruelling, multi-stage series of sci-fi deathmatches set across alien worlds. While past entries relied heavily on 2D aiming and real-time physics reflexes, Galactic Tactics turns the dial toward deep, grid-based turn-based strategy.
You’ll assemble and customise your own squad of worms, plotting traversal around fully destructible 3D arenas, utilising cover, and chaining together devastating tactical combos. You can’t just rely on raw muscle memory anymore—survival will demand careful positioning, resource management, and thinking several moves ahead.
Roguelike Progression & Bombastic Upgrades
Because no two runs in the Galactic Gauntlet are the same, roguelike mechanics keep the action unpredictably fresh. As you fight your way through gauntlets filled with specialist enemy classes and champion bosses, you’ll earn game-changing upgrades. Modify your arsenal on the fly to reinvent iconic weapons or unleash brand-new sci-fi additions like the Beambow, Meteor Sheep, and the deadly Die-napple.
Win or lose, squad customisation remains a core pillar. Expect to dress your bloodthirsty invertebrates with dozens of classic and newly themed hats, custom voicebanks, and unique gravestones for when a plan inevitably goes up in smoke.
Launch Details
Worms: Galactic Tactics is scheduled to launch in 2027 for Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch 2.
Whether you’re a series veteran who remembers launching Super Sheep back in 1995 or a turn-based tactics enthusiast looking for your next challenge, this tactical sci-fi leap looks set to deliver top-tier, destructive fun.
If you were tuned into Gamescom Opening Night Live, you already know that publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Afterburner Studios dropped a bombshell reveal that action-platformer fans won’t want to sleep on.
Enter Elta: Defy All Gods—an amped-up, science-fantasy action-platformer scheduled to strike PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in early 2027.
Blending dynamic martial arts brawling, fluid parkour traversal, and a striking anime-inspired aesthetic, Elta: Defy All Gods is positioning itself as one of the most high-octane indie titles on the horizon. Here is everything you need to know about this upcoming release and why you should hit that “Wishlist” button today.
The Story: Rise as a Divine Champion
In Elta: Defy All Gods, you step into the boots of Victus, an elite warrior monk hailing from a nomadic civilisation that has been exiled from its homeworld for centuries.
Your mission? Break the shackles of divine tyranny and reclaim a place where your people belong.
You aren’t fighting alone, either. Victus is accompanied by Elta, a lost dragon-god companion stripped of their former majesty. Together, the duo must voyage across corrupted worlds, derelict temples, and industrial ruins. As Victus unlocks lethal new fighting moves and traversal tech, Elta grows alongside them—channelling versatile elemental powers and slowly restoring their true, god-tier form.
High-Octane Martial Arts & Stance Combat
Forget basic button-mashing—Elta: Defy All Gods takes inspiration from classic brawlers and fast-paced 3D action games to create a deeply satisfying combat loop:
Three Martial Art Stances: Seamlessly switch between distinct combat stances on the fly to shatter enemy defences and exploit vulnerabilities.
Devastating Magic & Finishers: Build up energy during intense group encounters to unleash explosive elemental attacks and flashy, anime-inspired execution moves.
Fluid Traversal: Movement isn’t just for getting from point A to point B. Use an evolving traversal toolkit to weave across icy cliffs, desert canyons, and floating cloud islands, chaining movement mechanics straight into your attack combos.
Mark Your Calendars: Demo Coming October 1st!
While the full game won’t arrive until early 2027, gamers won’t have to wait nearly that long to get a hands-on feel for Victus and Elta’s journey. Focus Entertainment announced that a free public demo featuring the opening section of the game will hit PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 on October 1st.
If you are a fan of fluid 3D platformers, intense character-action games, or rich science-fantasy mythologies, this is definitely one to watch.

Tabletop RPG fans, it’s time to rally your adventuring squad. Paris-based developer Tactical Adventures has officially confirmed that Solasta II will receive its highly anticipated online multiplayer mode as part of Early Access Update 1, launching on September 10th.
Since launching into Early Access, Solasta II has been building upon the rich turn-based tactical combat and 5.2 SRD tabletop ruleset that made its predecessor a beloved hit. However, one of the biggest missing pieces from the tabletop experience has been the ability to share the campaign with friends. That wait is almost over.
Play Together: Online Co-Op Hits Neokos
Update 1 will allow up to four players to team up online to explore, fight, and negotiate across the continent of Neokos. Tactical Adventures has designed the multiplayer experience to feel as close to sitting around a real TTRPG table as possible:
Seamless Drop-In (Hot Join): One player hosts using either a brand-new party or an existing single-player save file. Friends can drop into active sessions directly through the multiplayer lobby.
Group Dialogue & Voting: When interacting with NPCs, every player can view the conversation choices and vote on the party’s next response. The option with the most votes wins—just watch out for the ticking timer on tough decisions!
New Ping System: Tactical coordination gets a major upgrade with a new in-and-out-of-combat Ping system, allowing players to highlight points of interest, enemies, or tactical cover instantly.
Unsheathe Eldritch Powers: The Warlock Class Arrives
Alongside co-op play, Update 1 introduces the 7th playable class to the Solasta II roster: The Warlock.
Commanding otherworldly powers through pacts with powerful patrons, Warlocks bring versatile spellcasting and eldritch blasting to combat. The update introduces two distinct subclasses:
The Time Keeper: Manipulate the flow of combat, boost ally turn order, and strip away enemy reactions.
The Dreamer: Harness nightmares to put foes to sleep and inflict punishing exhaustion penalties.
Community Requests, World Events & Customisation
Update 1 is packed with extra features and quality-of-life additions requested by the player base:
30 New World Events: Includes 15 winning event submissions from the community “Happy Little World Events” contest alongside developer-designed encounters filled with tactical battles and valuable loot.
Dice Rolling for Stats: Pure tabletop purists rejoice! You can now generate character ability scores using the classic 4d6 (drop the lowest) method during creation.
Expanded Customisation: New hairstyles, beards, tattoos, and warpaints give your party a distinct look.
Quality of Life: Features include Cloud Saves for Steam Deck cross-progression, an optional toggle to bypass spell component requirements, and a dedicated controller shortcut for Cautious (stealth) mode during exploration.

Get ready to dive back into the shadows of dark alchemy and ancient lore. Studio Interlude has officially announced that their debut title, DEVIL’S LIMINAL, will be leaving Early Access and launching its full 1.0 release on September 1st, 2026.
If you haven’t had this hidden gem on your radar yet, now is the absolute best time to pay attention. DEVIL’S LIMINAL is a visually stunning yuri horror visual novel that bridges historical dark fantasy with deeply grounded human struggles.
Here is everything you need to know about one of this year’s most unique indie releases:
A 500-Year Tale of Alchemy, Demons, and Survival – At its core, DEVIL’S LIMINAL isn’t just about scares; it’s an ambitious narrative experiment. Drawing rich inspiration from Azores folklore and Goethe’s Faust, the story crafts a fantastical epic spanning five centuries of secrets, alchemists, and demonic bargains.
Beyond its supernatural backdrop, the heart of the narrative tackles heavy, relatable themes—exploring the brutal realities of poverty, cyclical violence, and the desperate lengths individuals go to in order to overcome them. Studio Interlude weaves these elements into a compelling yuri romance, where connection and survival go hand-in-hand against horrific odds.
What to Expect in the Full Release – While the Early Access period gave players a chilling taste of the game’s atmosphere and premise, the full 1.0 release on September 1st will bring the complete, definitive vision of the story.
Expect:
Rich, Mythological World-Building: Rare representation of traditional Azores folklore intertwined with classic European Faustian horror.
Deep Narrative Choices: Branching paths that test your morality, survival instincts, and relationships.

Developer Tiny Monks Tales and publisher Daedalic Entertainment have officially announced that their highly anticipated narrative diorama builder, Woodo, will be launching with full voiceover in eight different languages.
Whether you play in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, or Chinese, Woodo is set to deliver its emotionally resonant, heartwarming story directly to players around the globe in their native tongues.
What is Woodo?
At its core, Woodo is a cosy, wholesome 3D puzzle game that combines the nostalgic joy of assembling wooden toy dioramas with a gentle, touching story.
Designed to offer a meditative escape from the high-stress, fast-paced action of modern gaming, Woodo invites players to slow down, take a deep breath, and piece together beautifully crafted scenes block by wooden block. Every assembled object helps bring a charming miniature world to life, revealing personal memories, warmth, and nostalgic storytelling along the way.
Global Hearts, Local Voices
While visual beauty and satisfying spatial puzzles are a huge part of Woodo’s appeal, its narrative heart is what truly sets it apart. By committing to full voiceover support across eight major international languages at launch, Tiny Monks Tales and Daedalic Entertainment are ensuring that the emotional nuance of the story isn’t lost in translation.
Localisation in cosy narrative games often stops at subtitles, but full voice-acting in languages as diverse as Japanese, French, and Spanish allows players to immerse themselves completely without constantly reading text off the screen. It’s an inclusive step that highlights the developers’ dedication to creating a truly universal feel-good experience.
Why You Should Keep Woodo on Your Radar

Space combat is getting a massive orbital twist. Independent developer Dreamwave Labs has officially revealed Perihelion, an ambitious physics-driven space combat roguelite coming soon to Steam for both PC and Linux.
Combining high-stakes tactical dogfighting with deep run-based progression, Perihelion puts players in the pilot’s seat of a sleek fighter ship where understanding real-world space mechanics isn’t just helpful—it’s the difference between life and death.
Master the Physics of Orbital Warfare
Unlike traditional arcade space shooters, Perihelion challenges players to master real momentum, inertia, and gravitational fields. Instead of fighting against the pull of celestial bodies, you’ll learn to bend gravity to your advantage—slingshotting around planets to dodge enemy fire, conserving thruster energy, and executing devastating orbital flanking manoeuvres against hostile fleets.
Every sortie launches directly from your home carrier into high-risk zones. Whether you’re flying solo or teaming up in co-op gameplay, execution requires a mix of twitch reflexes and tactical strategy.
High Stakes, Deep Upgrades, and Mystery
As a roguelite, death is part of the journey. Between runs, you’ll return to your carrier base to repair, customise, and upgrade your ship with a variety of modules, weapons, and defensive tech tailored to your preferred playstyle.
Adding weight to every jump into the void is a narrative mystery: your primary objective revolves around tracking down and unravelling the tragic fate of a lost sister ship.
Key Features at a Glance:
Physics-Driven Flight Mechanics: Utilise real orbital physics, planetary gravity wells, and momentum control in intense dogfights.
Co-Op & Solo Play: Tackle high-risk sorties alone or alongside friends in co-operative multiplayer.
Deep Roguelite Progression: Upgrade weapons, shields, and tactical ship systems between runs onboard your carrier.
Narrative-Driven Exploration: Piece together clues to uncover the mystery surrounding a lost sister ship.
PC & Linux Support: Native support for both Windows PC and Linux gamers on Steam upon release.
If you’re a fan of space simulators like Outer Wilds, strategic combat like FTL, or high-speed space dogfighting, Perihelion is definitely one to add to your Steam wishlist.
Wishlist Perihelion on Steam today and prepare to take flight.
