US based indie developer WDR Studios, nerdcore musicians JT Music and publisher Digital Pajamas today reveal the first gameplay trailer for horror parkour, Terrible Lizards. Wishlist on Steam now!
Dust and memories litter an old dinosaur attraction on Route 66, a place once full of the laughter and joy of children. Drawn by an unknown ringing inside the abandoned Dalton’s Dinos, a mysterious voice on the other side calls out to you, but can it be trusted? The staff are missing, the attraction is quiet and sinister, and there’s something shifting in the shadows desperate to keep you from the truth. You better get running.
In this mascot horror mashup, you’ll be pushed to your limit as twisted monsters of what once brought joy hunt you across the dinosaur exhibit. Run, jump, climb, wall run and slide through forgotten exhibitions – get clever with your movements to lose your hunters, and don’t end up as prey.
The monsters that thirst for your demise will stop at nothing to end you. Designed by the legendary RJ Palmer, your enemies vary from rotten attractions with frozen goofy smiles, to a creature so monstrous that not even the depths of time can claim its twisted, blood thirsty form.
An ugly truth exists in the depths of Dalton’s Dinos: collect VHS tapes, notes and audio logs to discover what happened at this abandoned attraction, and find the missing child at the heart of it all.
Terrible Lizards is voice acted excellently by Kellen Goff (Five Nights at Freddy’s, My Hero Academia, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind), Amanda Hufford (Date Everything!). Players can also look forward to live action sequences with Christian Ames (JT Music) and MatPat (The Game Theorists)!
Coming soon to Steam, wishlist the game now and stay up to date with it on Discord, X, BlueSky, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube!
During the PlayStation State of Play, Annapurna Interactive and developer Great Ape Games announced that the upcoming cinematic survival horror game The Lost Wild will launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
In The Lost Wild, players embark on an immersive evasion-based survival horror experience where they are pitted against nature’s ultimate hunters — dinosaurs. They assume the role of Saskia, who wakes up on a mysterious island overrun by prehistoric creatures. To survive, Saskia must explore derelict research facilities nestled in a lush wilderness and be resourceful while evading and overcoming this unstoppable threat.
Players become the hunted as the dinosaurs roam the abandoned facility, seeking out their prey. It’s essential to observe movements and patterns to learn about their behavior, to stay alive in this violent primal world. Choosing the best path forward is key, as players use stealth and caution, or venture off the beaten path to discover hidden routes which might lead to safety.
“The Lost Wild is a survival horror experience unlike any other, one that is built around slow burn tension while players are hunted by intelligent dinosaurs. These are not monsters, these are wild animals that think of you as prey,” said Great Ape Games CEO Nick Gregory. “This idea has persisted in various forms and iterations over the years. What started as a shared passion for dinosaurs, curiosity, and a love of games eventually grew into a fully fledged grassroots studio with over 25 talented people behind it. We now find ourselves in the incredibly fortunate position of building our dream dinosaur game, a true love letter to the genre, alongside one of the best publishers in the industry.”
Players can acquire useful items to improve the chances of survival, but will become subject to ever-increasing dangers the deeper Saskia explores, while using non-lethal weaponry, resulting in intense cat and mouse-style gameplay. Players can create distractions and use the environment to their advantage or temporarily scare off deadly predators using a combination of non-lethal weaponry to escape and evade.
Outmaneuver, distract, run, and if all else fails, hide.

During Summer Game Fest, Remedy Entertainment unveiled a brand-new Paranatural Manhattan Trailer for CONTROL Resonant, the highly anticipated sequel to Remedy’s critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning CONTROL. CONTROL Resonant will be available worldwide on September 24, 2026. Pre-orders for physical and digital editions are now open for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store. CONTROL Resonant will be published by Remedy Entertainment. Annapurna Pictures is co-financing and co-producing the game as part of a strategic partnership with Remedy Entertainment.
The Paranatural Manhattan Trailer reveals more of CONTROL Resonant’s twisted version of the city of New York. The trailer is narrated by Emily Pope, who returns from the original game as the acting director of the Federal Bureau of Control, working closely with main character Dylan Faden.
CONTROL Resonant features an open-ended, imaginative sandbox that only the talented and creative developers at Remedy Entertainment could devise. The paranaturally twisted Manhattan consists of several zones that are visually diverse, each teeming with unique, dedicated enemy factions. This is the largest and richest environment Remedy has ever constructed for a game.
As Dylan Faden, delving into each biome will offer players a distinct gameplay experience. Some of these are above ground, some deep below, and some exist in dimensions humans were not even aware of. The biomes contain engaging story missions, exciting side quests, such as hunting down rogue Altered Items, dynamic boss fights, and head-scratching puzzles to solve. All of this gives players a wealth of choices in what to pursue and how to progress through the game. Players will also get to experience new, previously unseen sections of the Oldest House, where the first CONTROL took place.
“In this latest trailer we are excited to show the variety and world building we have injected into CONTROL Resonant. Our talented development team is bringing back some of the vibes from the original game, with the return of the Oldest House and Emily Pope narrating,” said Mikael Kasurinen, Creative Director of CONTROL Resonant.
The trailer features an exclusive song “Manalan Mailla” performed by Finnish ethno-pop artist Vilma Jää. The track, which was composed specifically for CONTROL Resonant, was written by Teemu Brunila, Jurek, and Vilma Jää.
“Manalan Mailla is inspired by the Ingrian ensemble runonlaulu tradition, with its heterophonic choral parts and lyrics based on alliteration and iteration,” said Vilma Jää. “I also included some herding calls in the song, as I just love to sing as high and as loud as possible whenever I get the chance. Working with the music-making superstars Teemu Brunila and Jurek was very inspiring and a huge honour. Together we created something very catchy while still respecting the folklore.”
Today, fans can also look forward to listening to the track “Manalan Mailla” on Spotify, Apple Music, and other selected streaming platforms. Follow Vilma Jää on Instagram at @vilma.jaa.
Remedy Entertainment has also teamed up with iam8bit for a special collaboration, the CONTROL Resonant collection, featuring exclusive and limited merchandise that is open for pre-order now until July 16, and shipping in Q3 2026.
Available for purchase at iam8bit.com, this collection includes several must-haves for fans, such as the CONTROL Resonant: FBC Coffee Mug ($24.99), which comes in special and custom-themed packaging. Additionally, those who crave the sweet, intoxicating lure of “the mold” can pick up the CONTROL Resonant: FBC Mold Mints Collectible Tin (US only, $9.99), packed with edible mints that are more refreshing than they sound. Fans can also gear up in the CONTROL Resonant: FBC T-Shirt ($34.99), CONTROL Resonant: FBC Agent Hat ($32.99) and CONTROL Resonant: FBC Hoodie ($59.99) to embrace their inner FBC agent.

During Summer Game Fest 2026, Rebel Wolves, together with Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., revealed a new trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker – a dark fantasy open-world action RPG that will launch on PlayStation®5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC on September 3. At the same event, the studio presented a CGI teaser, offering a glimpse into the future direction of the series. Additional details about the game can be found on the official website:dawnwalkergame.com.
Watch the entire The Blood of Dawnwalker – Summer Games Fest Trailer here:
Watch the new The Dawnwalker Saga – A Glimpse into the Future CGI teaser trailer here:
The new teaser trailer shows where the dark fantasy saga is heading. Players can see Coen in completely different surroundings than the ones they are used to – a modern, 21st-century setting, offering a glimpse of where the overarching plot ultimately leads. As the developers revealed, the next installments of the Dawnwalker franchise will span centuries, continents, and cultures across the globe.
The new gameplay trailer focuses on what players can expect on September 3, when the game launches. The Blood of Dawnwalker will follow Coen’s origin story and his feud with Brencis, the vampire lord of Vale Sangora, a mysterious region in the Carpathian Mountains. This journey will end with a definitive and self-contained conclusion, shaped by the choices made by players during the adventure. The developers confirmed that the game is set entirely in the 14th century, free of cliffhangers or unresolved plot threads.
“I have a feeling that today’s presentation may have surprised many of you who did not expect Coen’s saga to move into modern times. However, I would like to emphasize that each installment in the series will be a standalone game with its own story, without narrative cliffhangers, unresolved plot threads, or time travel ideas. Since forming Rebel Wolves, we have been very clear that we aim for The Blood of Dawnwalker to be a self-contained story, and now, as we approach the release of the first chapter, we wanted to shed a bit more light on our wider perspective and tease where the story ultimately leads,” said Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, Game Director and Co-Founder of Rebel Wolves.
“I love the potential that lies within Coen, as well as his powers and abilities as a Dawnwalker. His journey begins in a dark 14th-century fantasy world – a setting players deeply enjoy – and while it may feel familiar, the unique Carpathian Mountains setting will allow us to surprise them more than once. The next installments of his saga will bring new stories and new characters, but they will take place in different eras, locations, and cultures. Writing the narrative for projects of this scale is an incredibly satisfying undertaking. And while Coen and Brencis’ conflict will reach its conclusion in The Blood of Dawnwalker, attentive players will certainly come across breadcrumbs related to the overarching plot spanning the saga. I would love to share more, but for now, let’s wait for September 3 – the release of the game,” said Jakub Szamałek, Narrative Director at Rebel Wolves.
The latest trailers presented during Summer Game Fest 2026 are available on the official Dawnwalker YouTube channel.
The Blood of Dawnwalker, the first game by Rebel Wolves, is developed using Unreal® Engine 5 and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc.
During Summer Game Fest, Raw Power Games, a studio of seasoned and talented game industry veterans, unveiled more details of their highly anticipated debut title Chronicles: Medieval, scheduled to release in early access later this year. Step into a vast, dynamic medieval sandbox set in the age of the Hundred Years’ War. Explore a brutal but beautiful, historically grounded Europe, command armies in massive battles, leave a mark the chroniclers can’t ignore as you make your name one fight at a time.
The trailer, narrated by (award-winning) Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen (The Witcher, House of Cards, Frankenstein), shows the intensity of the large-scale battles and is captured directly from the game.
Raw Power Games also confirmed that the Holy Roman Empire joins England and France as the third fully playable faction in Chronicles: Medieval. The three factions represent the primary powers and will each bring distinct units, strategic options, and a different perspective as you adventure through medieval Europe.
“This time last year, we revealed Chronicles: Medieval to the world, unveiling our ambitious debut title,” says Gareth Bourn, Senior Game Designer at Raw Power Games. “Now we’re providing a closer look at the exhilarating and brutal combat, which fuels the heart of our game. Chronicles: Medieval is all about player agency as they step into a medieval world defined by war, and the only way to survive is to rule the battlefield with cunning strategy and vicious drive.”
At the center of the game is a combat system in which the player serves as both the commander and the fighter. Players issue orders to Longbowmen, cavalry, crossbowmen, and men-at-arms without ever stepping out of the fight themselves. Position a flank, direct a charge, then draw a sword and enter the melee personally. Each unit type carries a distinct battlefield role and responds to orders in real time, making every engagement a layered tactical decision.
Beyond the battlefield, Chronicles: Medieval is a historically grounded open-world sandbox set across the British Isles, France, and the Holy Roman Empire. Players build a character from nothing, recruit and train an army, forge alliances, and accumulate a reputation that echoes through the world.
Chronicles: Medieval enters Early Access on PC via Steam in 2026. The Early Access release represents a substantial foundation, with Raw Power Games committed to expanding the world, deepening the systems, and integrating community feedback on the road to the 1.0 release, including a deeper focus on modding support. The game is powered by Unreal Engine 5 and Raw Power Games’ proprietary Asgard technology.

Pre-orders for the digital edition begin today, with the Standard Edition priced at $39.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $59.99 (Includes: Game, 1 Exclusive Michael Myers Skin, 2 Exclusive Civilians, and more surprises!).
Live out the chilling story surrounding Michael Myers’ escape from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium and the terrifying events that followed. Embody pure evil as the true Boogeyman and commit the horrors leading to Halloween Night in 1978.
Cinematic story cutscenes introduce chapters, characters, and story beats with iconic Halloween aesthetics and shot recreations, building a Haddonfield inspired by the original film. Yet the game goes beyond paying homage to the seminal movie, taking it in creative new directions to inject surprises and build upon Michael Myers’ monstrous, mythical intrigue.
Become the Shape across six haunting chapters, slashing through new and familiar locations while Dr. Sam Loomis narrates his findings and experiences. Uncover how Myers acquired his iconic jumpsuit, mask, and kitchen knife, and orchestrated the deaths of every unsuspecting victim leading up to the final babysitter encounter. The single-player storymode weaves a mix of the original 1978 film while introducing space for player creativity: play and end Michael Myers’ bloody tale while making it personal.
Halloween: The Game’s sandbox approach continues in storymode, providing a multitude of ways to find, stalk, and kill victims. The perfect Michael Myers carefully stalks his targets, waiting for the right moment to execute kills for true murderous satisfaction. Yet he can’t always play with his prey: sometimes keeping the cops at bay necessitates a victim’s quick death.
Each chapter contains a distinct set of secondary challenges and collectibles that reveal new executions, scenarios, and lore, unlocking exclusive cosmetics for Multiplayer mode. Several difficulty options test and reward players who want to understand what it takes to be a truly ruthless Michael Myers.
“Halloween is one of the most iconic horror films ever made, and we knew that bringing it into a game meant earning the right to put players behind that mask,” said Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer, IllFonic. “We recreated specific shots, leaned into the original score’s DNA, and worked to make Haddonfield feel like the place fans remember. Now, it’s up to each player to create their own version of Michael: patient, brutal, methodical, or something else entirely.”
Halloween: The Game digital pre-orders start today. The Standard Edition is priced at $39.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $59.99 (Includes: Game, 1 Exclusive Michael Myers Skin, 2 Exclusive Civilians, and more surprises!).

Today at Summer Game Fest, Lionsgate, in collaboration with Bloober Team and its co-development label Broken Mirror Games, together with Anshar Studios, officially unveiled SAW: GENESIS – a twisted new asymmetrical multiplayer horror game featuring a storyline that precedes the events of the iconic SAW films and influences Jigsaw and his elaborate psychological games. Building on the success of the Blair Witch video game, the critically acclaimed horror developers have once again teamed up with Lionsgate, leveraging Bloober Team’s expertise in crafting immersive horror experiences, while expanding the lore of the SAW universe and preserving the psychological intensity that defines the franchise. Players can be among the first to experience SAW: GENESIS by signing up for upcoming playtests or joining the game when Early Access launches this fall.
SAW: GENESIS is a 3v1 multiplayer horror game in which three Accused are pressure-driven to work together to escape a potentially fatal maze of traps while a single Judge orchestrates their trials, imposing diabolical tests and forcing impossible moral choices where survival comes with a cost. Set in the grim aftermath of World War I, SAW: GENESIS lets players take part in either side of this unnerving confrontation in intense matches played on procedurally generated maps.
SAW: GENESIS is a game with a unique take on asymmetrical mechanics grounded in SAW logic. Players can choose to be the Judge, whose work later inspired Jigsaw, and pull strings from behind the scenes to shape the fate of those trapped within the game. Alternatively, players can take on the role as one of the Accused, who take their lives for granted, and must strive to escape the lethal labyrinth set by the Judge through teamwork, trust, and sacrifice.
“Multiplayer in the SAW universe is a natural evolution of its core theme – moral choices – now amplified in a shared, unpredictable setting,” said Piotr Babieno, Bloober Team. “We’re excited to collaborate with Lionsgate again, alongside the experienced developers from Anshar Studios to create something truly unique in the SAW universe. With this ambitious game, psychological tension is driven by player interaction and consequence.”
“We’re thrilled to unveil an all-new chapter in SAW: GENESIS that remains authentic to our iconic horror franchise: twisted life-or-death choices, intensely complex traps, and bloody consequences under time pressure,” said Erika N. Ewing, Senior Director, Interactive Ventures & Games at Lionsgate. “Infused with the psychological horror DNA of Bloober Team and Anshar Studios, the game is designed to evoke a visceral sense of fear that lingers long after each game ends.”
Step into the trial: join the Closed Alpha Playtests
We invite players to sign up for the upcoming Closed Alpha Playtests and experience the first phase of the evolving game. To participate, simply visit www.sawgenesisgame.com and complete the registration form. The playtests will run for a limited time window in the near future, giving selected participants an early chance to step into the world and help shape its development.
