Expanding on 2024's cult-hit Soulslike from another perspective

The solo developer of Withering Realms, Troy West, doesn't mince words when it comes to his latest effort's predecessor. “I think the main issue with Withering Rooms is the graphics. A lot of people go to the store page and it doesn't make a lot of sense to them, because it looks like this low-budget, asset-flip kind of game,” he admits. It's arguably more impressive, then, that his debut release received a rapturous response from audiences including, to his delight, some of his favourite content creators. A horror-tinged action Roguelite set in the grounds of a Victorian mansion, Withering Rooms garnered critical praise for its robust combat and an enigmatic narrative that, in Souls tradition, teased new questions with every answer.

The sequel, loosely connected to the original and slated for an Early Access release in mid-2026, is set in rural Wales during the interwar period of an alternate timeline. A decade previously, an explosion unleashed occult energies upon the globe and halted the First World War, a ceasefire necessary for the world to come to terms with its new reality.

The game shifts from top-down action to something closer to survival horror

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Street Fighter 6

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.
