Loric Games sat down with us at the Snail Games USA booth to discuss the incredible evolution of their co-op airship survival RPG, the addition of cave exploration, and the future of PvP. It is no secret that launching a game into Early Access is a gamble. Sometimes a game drops with a rock-solid foundation, ready to be expanded upon. Other times, the launch is a bit turbulence-heavy, requiring developers to grab a wrench and start frantically patching the engine mid-flight. When Echoes of Elysium—a co-op airship survival RPG developed by Loric Games—launched into Steam Early Access back in January…

The next chapter in The Dark Pictures Anthology brings back Movie Night Mode, introduces a visual branching story tree, and forces friends to decide who lives and who dies aboard the Cassiopeia. Supermassive Games has built an empire on making players yell at their friends on the couch. Whether you accidentally got a camp counselor killed in The Quarry or made a disastrous narrative choice in Until Dawn, the studio knows exactly how to weaponize social tension. During today’s Future Games Show presentation, Supermassive officially confirmed that their upcoming sci-fi survival horror adventure, Directive 8020, will continue that proud tradition.…

Fallen Signal Studios aims for the stars with a dual-campaign RPG inspired by Mass Effect and Tron, but our time with the demo was plagued by fatal crashes and sluggish combat. The promise of a sprawling, narrative-driven sci-fi RPG is always an easy way to grab my attention. So, when I had the opportunity to meet with Theodore, the PR representative for Fallen Signal Studios, during GDC last week, my expectations were understandably high. Sitting in the tranquil gardens across from the Moscone Center, listening to live jazz music, Theodore painted a picture of a massive new IP. The game,…

We sat down with the developer of Revolutron in the lobby of the InterContinental Hotel for an exclusive look at the adventurous Delivery Cat making waves at GDC. The beauty of the Game Developers Conference (GDC) isn’t just found on the massive, flashing show floor of the Moscone Center. Some of the most exciting discoveries happen in the quiet corners of hotel lobbies, sitting across a coffee table from a passionate indie developer with a laptop and an Xbox controller. On Wednesday, March 11th, our team experienced exactly that. We managed to secure a sit-down meeting with the solo developer…

WDR Studios is injecting much-needed adrenaline into the haunted amusement park genre. We went hands-on with a terrifying, fast-paced demo that proves you can’t just hide from your nightmares—you have to outrun them. Let’s be honest: the “mascot horror” genre has become incredibly crowded over the last decade. Ever since Five Nights at Freddy’s blew the doors wide open, we have seen countless iterations of abandoned amusement parks and haunted children’s toys, from the colorful horrors of Poppy Playtime to the eerie corridors of Indigo Park. The formula usually dictates that you walk at a sluggish pace, hide in lockers,…

Toot Games has created a 2D stealth-comedy where you play as a yucky, infinitely stretching appendage. It is weird, it is wonderful, and My Arms Are Longer Now plays perfectly on the Steam Deck. The Game Developers Conference (GDC) is always a treasure trove of unexpected industry shifts and bizarre indie gems. However, this year, one of the most exciting developments came from a studio we usually associate with Friday-night party games and living-room shouting matches. Jackbox Games, the legendary developer behind cultural staples like The Jackbox Party Pack and Quiplash, has officially stepped into the world of third-party indie…
