It’s not often that a brand-new RPG from a new studio arrives already carrying this much weight of expectation, but then again Rebel Wolves isn’t exactly an untested name. With veterans from CD Projekt Red among its core team, the developers have set their sights on an ambitious dark fantasy tale that merges historical settings with supernatural mythology. At Gamescom we had the chance to take a closer look at their upcoming title The Blood of Dawnwalker, published by Bandai Namco, and it’s shaping up to be one of the more intriguing new role-playing experiences on the horizon.

Biped 2 preview (Gamescom)
The original Biped was a charming surprise when it launched, mixing inventive movement mechanics with cooperative puzzle-solving in a way that stood out among co-op adventures.

Zero Parades preview (Gamescom)
When ZA/UM announced their new project (as C4) earlier, curiosity spiked immediately.

At Gamescom, we had the chance to sit down with members of the ZA/UM team to hear more about their upcoming title, and what we saw was both familiar and strikingly different.

Outlaws + Handful of Missions Remaster preview (Gamescom)
The 1990s gave us a wave of experimental shooters, but Outlaws was one of the rare titles that dared to mix fast-paced FPS action with the cinematic flair LucasArts had perfected in its adventure games. Nearly three decades later, Nightdive Studios is bringing the cult classic back in a polished remaster. With updated visuals, modern controls, and multiplayer support, it’s a chance for both old fans and curious newcomers to revisit (or finally discover) a western shooter that stood apart from its peers.
