Publisher Daedalic Entertainment and developer gameXcite are proud to announce Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, a brand-new story-based survival strategy game set in the Star Trek™ universe and officially licensed by Paramount Consumer Products. The title is currently in development for PC and consoles.
Set aboard the U.S.S. Voyager and deep in the unexplored reaches of the Delta Quadrant, Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown invites players to relive—and redefine—the legendary starship’s journey back to earth. The game blends exploration, ship & resource management, roguelite elements, and meaningful choices. Experience crew dynamics and a fresh take on a beloved sci-fi universe — with what-if scenarios that open up new possibilities.
Player decisions shape both the fate of the crew and the configuration of the U.S.S. Voyager itself. With each playthrough, the ship becomes a different version of itself—reengineered and reimagined based on the path taken through the quadrant and the command decisions made along the way.
“Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown is a project driven by passion—both for storytelling and for the legacy of Star Trek,” says Jonas Hüsges, COO at Daedalic Entertainment. “We’re excited to bring the U.S.S. Voyager crew back into the spotlight in a way that feels true to canon while offering new narrative frontiers to explore.”
“As lifelong fans of Star Trek, we’re thrilled to contribute to this iconic universe,” adds Daniel Bernard, Game Director at gameXcite. “This game isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about giving players the conn and letting them chart their own course through the unknown.”
In Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, players take command of the U.S.S. Voyager as it traverses 12 vast sectors of the Delta Quadrant. Along the way, they’ll manage systems and crew, engage in diplomacy, navigate difficult moral decisions, and face the unknown. Familiar faces return, but their fates may differ—reshaped by the captain on the bridge.

Death comes to Haddonfield in Halloween, a chilling tribute to the iconic John Carpenter’s classic film.

Danger lurks around every corner, and survival depends on strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking. Meanwhile, Michael Myers stalks the shadows, using terrifying abilities like Shape Jump to move unseen across the map and strike without warning in a heart-pounding experience.
“Our goal is to push the horror experience to the next level with single and multiplayer modes so players can get the most out of the game,” said Jared Gerritzen, CCO of IllFonic. “Whether they become the boogeyman or fight to protect Michael Myers’ victims, Halloween promises an unforgettable battle of fear and survival.”

The Midnight Walkers sees players exploring the many floors of the Liberty Grand Center mega complex, fighting off not just zombies, but their fellow players, in brutal PvPvE action for either solos or trios.

Today, Capcom kicked off Tokyo Game Show 2025 with a special online program featuring new trailers and updates for Onimusha: Way of the Sword™, PRAGMATA™, Monster Hunter Stories™ 3: Twisted Reflection, Mega Man Star Force™ Legacy Collection, Monster Hunter Wilds™ Title Update 3, C. Viper in Street Fighter™ 6, Phoenix Wright™: Ace Attorney™ Trilogy, and more.
New Onimusha: Way of the Sword Trailer Sets the Stage for Musashi’s Story
Today’s broadcast debuted a new story trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword revealing the supernatural events that set the dark fantasy adventure into motion. The sneak peek also introduces new characters who play key roles in the swordplay action game’s narrative.
After protagonist Miyamoto Musashi’s arrival in Kyoto, the samurai is ambushed by the demonic Genma. On the verge of death, Musashi is “gifted” an Oni Gauntlet granting him the power to stand against these monstrosities from the underworld. However, as a warrior who wishes to carve a path by his own hand, he seeks to sever his link with this mystical artifact.
During Musashi’s journey, he encounters Izumo no Okuni and Ono no Takamura, newfound friends who are also based on real figures from Japanese history. Guided by the voice of the mysterious Oni woman within his gauntlet, Musashi is led to Takamura, a venerable swordsman with a gauntlet of his own. He also crosses paths with Okuni, a famous performer known for her iconic Kabuki dance, who has departed the stage in search of a way to defeat the Genma.
The latest footage also contains flashes of gameplay where Musashi faces enemies in the streets of Kyoto, including Togemaru, a serpentine Genma with spikes running down its spine that whirls into the fray with great speed to eviscerate its unfortunate targets. Though Musashi is reluctant to embrace his Oni Gauntlet, he must harness its power to slay such formidable foes.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword lands in 2026 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

The trailer also provided the first look at a new type of Hack Node, the Multi-Hack, which Diana can use to open up the armor of multiple enemies with a single Hack. This consumable item is a valuable asset that can turn the tide of battle in an instant, so use them wisely! The key to defeating powerful enemies lies in combining various weapons and Hack Nodes, which have distinct characteristics.
Outside of combat, Hugh and Diana will explore the lunar station. From the Shelter, they can ride the Tram, which can take them to any Escape Hatches they have previously unlocked. These Escape Hatches also double as valuable checkpoints in their journey to return to Earth.

New feature: NVG Offset Aiming
While using the NVG, offset aiming allows stalkers to tilt their weapon for improved handling in close-quarters combat, while skilled marksmen can leverage this feature for precision at longer ranges. This tactical advantage redefines combat dynamics in the Zone’s unforgiving terrain.
Additionally, a new high-powered laser pointer is now available, designed to overcome the limitations of low-powered lasers when used with NVGs. This upgrade ensures sharper aim in low-light conditions, but stalkers will need to part with a significant number of coupons to acquire it.
Adapt, aim, and dominate.
New Anomaly: Fireball
The Zone continues to shift and surprise, as the scientists report the emergence of a new anomaly within the perimeter walls, designated as Fireball. While detailed findings remain classified, initial reports from the research teams confirm that this anomaly burns with intense heat, posing a significant hazard to all stalkers.
