RoboCop: Rogue City Expands the Universe

Styx Returns in a New Adventure

Fans of stealth gameplay are in for a treat as Styx makes a comeback in Styx: Blades of Greed, developed by Cyanide Studio. The game retains the core elements that fans love, with expansive environments, a plethora of powers, and multiple strategic approaches to mission completion. The objective? Steal Quartz, a rare magical resource. This title is set to launch in Fall 2025, raising anticipation for its stealth mechanics and engaging storyline.

For enthusiasts of Lovecraftian lore, today’s announcements resulted in double the excitement.Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, under development by Big Bad Wolf—known for titles like The Council and Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong—invites players into a first-person thriller experience. Assuming the role of Noah, an agent for Ancile, players will delve deep into the mysteries of a Pacific Ocean disappearance, ultimately discovering the ancient sunken city of R’lyeh, the prison of Cthulhu. This title will be launched next year, promising eerie and immersive storytelling.

Moreover, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is another horror experience being crafted by ACE Team. This first-person cooperative game allows players to assume the roles of Conquistadores embarking on an expedition to unearth a legendary underground city filled with treasures.
