Discover the Magic of Spellbaking in Rise of the Spellbaker

Save the realm of Khemia from the Rot in this charming, hand-crafted, fairy-tale inspired Action-Adventure, coming to PC and consoles 2027

Bracknell, UK – August 26th, 2026 – Publisher Kalypso Media and Realmforge Studios, acclaimed developers of the Dungeons series, have today announced their new title Rise of the Spellbaker, set in a world full of magic, fairy tales, and the delightful smells of freshly baked goods.

Coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and PlayStation®5 in 2027, Rise of the Spellbaker follows a Witch who finds herself the sole survivor of an unknown plague. With only her loyal cat familiar by her side, she must set forth into the corrupted land and fight back the insatiable Rot by awakening the powerful magic of spellbaking from forgotten recipes.

In a time when the world was still wild and full of magic, the Witch lived a calm and peaceful life in harmony with all creatures and humans. Until one pristine autumn day, when the Witches of Khemia gathered to celebrate their annual Harvest Festival, since the fateful events of that day, an unnamed rot has swept through the land, and its architect remains a dreadful mystery.

Now, Khemia has been transformed from a home that was once light, sweet and colourful into a dark, fetid, and dismal place infested with dangerous creatures such as the Skullopod and Big Mouth, all overshadowed by an unfathomable presence looming in the background.

To reclaim Khemia from the Rot and defeat the evil mastermind pulling the strings, the Witch must rediscover and develop her forgotten magic talent: spellbaking. Discover new recipes, gather ingredients, and knead them into powerful pastries such as the Crescent Wave or Shortcrust Grenade to roast your enemies.

On her journey, she’ll team up with a band of unlikely alliles including Hermann, the talking sourdough, the floury little Biscies, and her loyal Cat Familiar, all of whom will help her face the challenges ahead. Whilst back in the village, players can furnish and decorate the Witch’s house and turn the village back into a safe haven to return to during their adventures.

For those looking to face the Rot together, the coven allows players to gather with up to five other surviving witches in multiplayer and divide the tasks between the group and work together to defeat the Rot.

Rise of the Spellbaker is scheduled for release in 2027 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and PlayStation®5.

Rise of the Spellbaker Features: 

  • The Rise of the Spellbaker: Guide the Witch on her journey to save Khemia from a grim and all-consuming plague in this hand-crafted Action-Adventure drawing you into a powerful story in a world full of magic, fairy tales and smells from freshly baked goods.
  • The Rot: Experience a world being devoured by a plague covering the land and choking (almost) every living creature, turning a home that once was light, sweet and colourful into a dark, fetid and dismal place infested with dangerous creatures like the Skullopod or the Big Mouth, all overshadowed by an unfathomable presence looming in the background.
  • The Witch: Rediscover and develop your forgotten magic talent – spellbaking – to reclaim your world from the Rot and the evil mastermind pulling the strings. Discover new recipes, gather ingredients and knead them into powerful pastries like the Crescent Wave or the Shortcrust Grenade to roast your enemies.
  • The Companions: Along the way, you’ll discover that this new world hides more than meets the eye. Fortunately, you are not alone: Hermann, the talking sourdough, the floury little Biscies, and your loyal cat familiar will help you face the challenges ahead.
  • The Village: Furnish and decorate the witch’s house and turn your village back into a safe haven you can return to during your adventures. Feed Hermann to spur his memory and thus gain more knowledge about recipes and discover his connection to your home – and, perhaps, the keys to defeating the plague.
  • The Coven: In Multiplayer, gather with up to five other surviving witches to divide the tasks between your group and work together to defeat the Rot.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Showcases Mid-Game Ganymede Mission at gamescom

New trailer and b-roll featuring an infiltration mission gone wrong, a new acquaintance, and a treacherous encounter with a hybrid

Nicosia, Cyprus (August 26, 2026) — Today, Owlcat Games revealed two new videos from the highly anticipated upcoming narrative-action RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Debuted during the Find Your Next Game Show at gamescom, the videos show detailed gameplay from a mid-game mission set on the moon Ganymede, where players have to infiltrate a secret base to recover stolen data. Though the mission starts off smoothly, it doesn’t take long for everything to go horribly, catastrophically wrong. 

Watch the dramatic new trailer and check out the b-roll for more details:

The trailer showcases the mission on Ganymede, highlighting different aspects of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn: from its cinematic storytelling, to the thrilling action combat, to its exploration and deep dialogue system. The Captain and their sibling J must infiltrate a secret Protogen base to get back their data stolen on Pinkwater station, with their whole team coming together to aid with tech and provide moral support.

At first everything seems to be going according to plan — players explore the base undercover, meet Protogen employees, and try to talk their way into the storage area to retrieve the stolen data. However, things take a turn when an unexpected third party shows up and a bioengineered menace is let loose in the base, forcing the siblings to improvise as they desperately fight their way to make it out alive.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will launch on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, and on console via Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in spring 2027.

Gun Fu action game SPINE comes to PC and consoles in  Summer 2027

Developer Nekki reveals new SPINE trailer and announces release window for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Limassol, Cyprus – 26 August 2026 – Today on the Future Games Show, developer and publisher Nekki revealed new key art and a new gameplay trailer for their cinematic Gun Fu action game SPINE and announced SPINE will launch for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in summer 2027.

Watch the SPINE Release Window Announcement Trailer here:

SPINE is a single-player cinematic action game where close-quarters gunfights meet Gun Fu combat. Play as Redline, a rebellious street artist equipped with Spine – a sentient combat implant with a mind of its own – and fight through a cyberpunk city ruled by an autocratic AI regime.

SPINE’s new trailer offers a first look at Judge – Tensor City’s supreme leader – along with Tensor’s Children, Edda Kopp and Malady, equipped with Spines of their own. The new trailer also showcases SPINE’s directional attacks, parry and dodge system, environmental attacks and a number of the game’s bosses, as well as a variety of new environments, from tangled underground laboratories to the vast cliffs of the City’s Greenhouse, and a fight atop a high-speed train.

About SPINE:

In Tensor City – a technocratic megacity built by an AI so humanity could survive the ecological collapse of the world outside — your value is a number. The Social Rating decides who eats, who works, and who gets thrown away, splitting the city between the gleaming New City above and the rotting Old City below. Redline, a rebel street artist, scrapes by in the slums,  until a mafia heist goes wrong and costs her everything – including her brother.

Step into a stunning cyberpunk world with rebellious street artist Redline and her sentient combat implant Spine as they defy the autocratic AI regime in search of Redline’s captured brother.

SPINE features Freeflow Gun Fu combat, with camerawork and combat choreography by action movie stunt specialists. It is powered by Unreal Engine 5 and Nekki’s original animation engine, Cascadeur, making players the star of their own action movie where no two fights are the same.

SPINE features:

  • Movie-Like Experience – SPINE puts players inside the action with a dynamic combat camera that makes every fight feel like a movie, without ever stealing control from players.
  • Innovative Combat – A thrilling fusion of cinematic gunplay and Freeflow Gun Fu beat ’em up. Dive into the chaos of SPINE‘s combat, where every move is a dance between gunfire and raw, close-quarter bullet mayhem. It’s not just a game; it’s an artistic canvas for your own style of destruction.
  • Unrivaled Atmosphere – Dive into an action-packed narrative set against the backdrop of a captivating cyberpunk world. Explore the contrast between the gleaming, utopian facades and the gritty, decaying alleyways, as each location becomes a stage for adrenaline-fueled gunfights.
  • Gripping Narrative – Embark on a gritty journey into the near-future with Redline, a rebellious street artist, and her AI companion, Spine — a combat implant with a mind of its own. Together, they stand against an oppressive AI regime, and every fight they have sends ripples through the streets they navigate, changing the lives of the people they meet.

SPINE is coming to Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S. Keep up to date with SPINE on the official website.

For those interested in the game’s universe, Nekki publishes a webtoon comic “SPINE: Bullet Dancers” that lets fans dive into the world of SPINE before the game is released.

Shadow of the Road Reveals November 12th Release Date

Nicosia, Cyprus (August 26th, 2026) — The wait is nearly over as today, developers Another Angle Games and publisher Owlcat Games revealed the release date for upcoming tactical RPG Shadow of the Road. Launching November 12th on PC, the game received a dramatic new trailer during GameStar’s Find Your Next Game Show at gamescom.

Watch the trailer showing the trials and tribulations awaiting our party of outcasts and eccentrics:

The main party in Shadow of the Road is a group that’s been brought together by the forces of fate: ex-samurai, retainers of the Shogun, and a mysterious child, his mother, and their bodyguard. As the group journeys through war-torn Japan, they encounter all kinds of enemies — bandits, imperial soldiers, and supernatural creatures all doing their best to send the party members to the afterlife. In order to master the game’s tactical combat, players need to carefully build their characters, unlocking and upgrading skills they can then use on the battlefield to turn the tide to their favor or unleash powerful combos. They can also make use of their environment, turning the battlefield itself into a death trap. If things truly become dire, turning into yokai and wreaking havoc on the battlefield is also an option…though, only as a last resort.

Key features of Shadow of the Road:

  • Your Story: Join a daring journey led by Tokugawa’s spymaster, who recruits ronin warriors Satoru and Akira to protect a boy with immense, uncontrollable powers. As the adventure intensifies, they are joined by characters, each of whom has their own history and motivation. Together, they confront escalating challenges, striving to reclaim their honor and change the course of the war.
  • Your Choices: Every choice guides these characters along unique paths, shaping who they become. Player decisions will determine if they form new bonds, sever lifelong friendships, or mend family ties.
  • Your Team: Take on the role of a master strategist and become an elite team of characters with a variety of backgrounds and skills, each with their own motivations, desires, and fears, and set them on unique paths.
  • Your Fight: Experience turn-based combat with a samurai tactical vibe. Each team member brings unique abilities to the battlefield, and their personal goals and relationships influence every encounter. Master these dynamics and strategic maneuvers to lead the team to victory.

    Shadow of the Road launches on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on November 12th, 2026. A demo is available now on Windows PC via Steam.

KRAFTON SHARES ITS VISION FOR BUILDING GLOBAL FRANCHISES AT GAMESCOM 2026

Five upcoming titles showcase KRAFTON’s push to create new kinds of play across original worlds, distinct creative studios and established franchises

EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. – AUGUST 26, 2026 – KRAFTON, Inc. today hosted KRAFTON Media Day 2026 at gamescom, its third consecutive year holding the event, outlining its vision for building enduring global franchises by connecting bold creative ideas with players around the world.

The presentation featured five upcoming titles spanning across different genres: NO LAW, Project ZETA, Age Twisters, TARAE: The Unbound and PUBG: DED.NET. Together, the lineup reflects KRAFTON’s broader publishing approach of challenging established genre conventions, supporting the unique creative identities of its studios and reimagining existing franchises in new ways.

Opening the presentation, Taeseok Jang, Head of Global Publishing and PUBG Franchise at KRAFTON, reflected on PUBG’s evolution over nearly a decade and the lessons learned from growing the franchise alongside its players. He emphasized that KRAFTON is applying those experiences across a diverse group of creative studios as it looks to reach new kind of players.

“Creating games that are remembered for years is difficult, and it takes time. There are no shortcuts, and there is no easy path. Just as PUBG endured that journey and reached its fans, I hope the games on this stage will ultimately reach theirs and be loved as well,” said Taesok Jang. “We will keep moving boldly forward on that journey, together with our players.”

Highlights from KRAFTON Media Day 2026 include:

  • NO LAW – Empowering Players to Create Their Own Stories: Claës af Burén, CEO of Neon Giant, introduced the studio’s immersive open-world FPS RPG set in the lawless city of Port Desire. Built around systems that react to player choices and actions, NO LAW is designed to create different opportunities, threats and stories for every player. Neon Giant is using various latest Unreal technologies to maximize player agency and imagination, creating an immersive world where there is no wrong way to play.
  • Project ZETA – Moving Beyond Traditional MOBA Conventions: Namseok Kim, CEO of NIRVANANA, presented the studio’s Multi-team Tactical Arena (MTA) game, which removes the traditional laning structure of MOBAs and puts four teams of three into objective-driven combat from the opening moments of a match. NIRVANANA is focused on finding new forms of tension and fun for MOBA players, while continuing to evolve the game together with its community through global testing.
  • Age Twisters – Connecting Generations Through Co-op Play: Jordi Ministral and Alexis Corominas, Co-founders and Directors of Piccolo Studio, introduced the two-player co-op adventure following a grandfather and granddaughter across four stages of life. Different abilities and dynamically changing dialogue bring generational differences directly into both gameplay and narrative, reflecting the studio’s decade-long focus on games that connect with players on an emotional level.
  • TARAE: The Unbound – Reimagining Eastern Imagination Through Dark Fantasy: Inyoung Koo, CEO of Boundary, presented the Eastern dark fantasy action RPG inspired by the Buddhist cycle of reincarnation and the concept of karma. Drawing from the mythology, aesthetics and cultural imagination of East Asia, TARAE: The Unbound brings these influences into its world, classes, combat and narrative to offer a distinct alternative to the Western medieval traditions commonly associated with dark fantasy.
  • PUBG: DED.NET – Reimagining the PUBG Franchise in a New Form: Dave Curd, Creative Director at PUBG STUDIOS, introduced a new title that builds on the survival and competitive identity established through PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS while moving beyond the traditional battle royale formula. Set in Cascadia in 1996, a world inspired by the Pacific Northwest of the 1990s, PUBG: DED.NET expands the franchise into a new setting and a roguelite run structure, where each session and player choice can shape what comes next.


KRAFTON will showcase all five titles throughout gamescom 2026. Visitors to the KRAFTON booth in Hall 9 at Koelnmesse will have opportunities to experience the lineup through a range of on-site programs.
