Team17 and Absolutely Games revealed 'Worms: Galactic Tactics,' the latest entry in the 'Worms' series. Breaking away from the traditional 2D side-view, it is being developed as a turn-based tactical roguelike where players combine movement, weapons, and utilities across fully destructible 3D battlefields. Set in a multi-stage deathmatch called the 'Galactic Gauntlet,' players assemble a squad and journey through various arenas to fight specialist enemy classes and champion bosses, aiming to defeat the final boss, 'Emperor Flux'. Even upon defeat, players can upgrade their worms using the currency 'Juice' to try again.

Combat is turn-based, utilizing environmental terrain, and weapons can be modified after battles to grant various effects such as increased power, life drain, or stuns. New weapons like the Beambow and Meteor Sheep have been added, while hit determination is handled via a minigame system where high ground and timing determine critical hits.

Additionally, worm customization and local/online 1v1 multiplayer are supported. While the release date is undecided, it is scheduled for release in 2027 on PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Byte Barrel revealed a new trailer for its upcoming first-person shooter 'DIOXIDE'. Rendered in cel-shaded graphics, this title is being developed as a hardcore tactical FPS combined with soulslike elements, set in a dystopian world ravaged by industrial decline. Players assume the role of an expendable asset in a society ruled by megacorporations, who gains the ability to revive after acquiring a Core-ID administrator module—while simultaneously becoming the corporation's highest-priority target to eliminate. Their goal is to tear down the system and establish a sanctuary for the remnants of humanity.

Combat involves combining various firearms and modifying weapons with modules and attachments, requiring precise aiming and strategic judgment against mass-produced enemies known as 'Neo-Antique Enforcers.' The city serving as the stage consists of industrial zones, underground cities, and upper-class districts, with each area presenting both a threat and a source of growth resources. Civilians rescued along the way can be brought to the sanctuary, and whether to protect them or consume them as resources is left to the player's choice.

'DIOXIDE' is a new title from Polish developer Byte Barrel, creators of the 'Forgive Me Father' series. It is set to release on PC, with an exact release date yet to be announced.

Characters do not have fixed classes; instead, skills are unlocked via weapons, and growth is customized through a combination of modifiers, specializations, and passive trees, allowing diverse combinations like melee mages or gunslingers. Players can also transform into a shadow form during battle to turn the tide, as well as craft equipment directly by gathering items and materials. Post-conquest endgame content includes inter-faction territorial warfare battlefields and the 'Tower of Wonders.'

Powerful enemies alternate between unpredictable normal attacks and unblockable skills.

Weapons can break during combat, so Yuangong Sect disciples rapidly forge and switch between two swords from a scabbard on their back.

Vertpaint revealed a new trailer for 'Ritual Tide' at the Gamescom 2026 Future Games Show (FGS).

Set on Hortus, an island unmapped and untouched by ships, players awaken on the shore with no memory of who they are. A character named Malcolm offers assistance, but a cult advocating devotion to 'Mother Hortus' has taken root on the island, and the story gradually unfolds alongside hints that the encountered monsters were not always monsters.

Survival elements are also emphasized: ammunition is scarce, requiring careful use; climbing and crossing planks demand balance, which becomes even trickier during chases. Combat exists, but it does not make the player stronger, and guns are not always a reliable option. The developer stated that flowers, walls, trees, and coastlines on the island were scanned directly from real locations in the English and Scottish moorlands.

'Ritual Tide' is scheduled to release on PC, with an exact release date yet to be determined.
