Dark Moon

I’m really excited about Dark Moon! It’s a survival strategy game where you basically drive around on the Moon in a mobile base. You’ve got to gather resources, improve your technology, and keep your crew alive, but the big challenge is avoiding the deadly sunlight caused by a massive solar flare. It sounds super intense!

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake brings the first two games in this beloved Japanese RPG series back with updated graphics and gameplay. The remake features a beautiful ‘HD-2D’ visual style – a mix of classic 2D characters and modern 3D environments – similar to what fans loved in Octopath Traveler.

The original first two games in the series weren’t available on PC, making these remakes the first chance players will have to experience them on that platform.

Earth vs Mars

Earth vs Mars is a strategy game putting you in the middle of a war between humans and Martians. You’ll build armies of unique hybrid creatures – think human-rhino or squirrel-cow combinations – and send them into battle. It’s being developed by Relic Entertainment, the team behind popular games like Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, and Impossible Creatures. What’s different this time is that it’s their first turn-based strategy game, moving away from the real-time strategy style they’re known for.

This game is part of a new initiative from Relic Labs to create smaller, more innovative indie titles.
