Perhaps the biggest surprise of the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 was the unveiling of Senua, an action/adventure game centered on the protagonist of the Hellblade series. In an Xbox Wire blog post, Ninja Theory says the game follows on from Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, but it is intentionally a different kind of experience and should not be treated as Hellblade III. Unlike the previous two Hellblade titles, this is an out-and-out action/adventure.

On the eve of the current generation of consoles, CAPCOM announced a brand-new sci-fi intellectual property called PRAGMATA. It was the Japanese studio's first new global franchise since 2012's Dragon's Dogma, and a return to sci-fi for a studio historically more focused on other settings, such as zombie horror and fantasy. Following the initial trailer from PlayStation 5's The Future of Gaming event, though, PRAGMATA largely disappeared from radars.

The creation of new intellectual properties is vital to keep creativity going, and CAPCOM stumbled a little in this regard with 2023's multiplayer game Exoprimal and 2024's action/strategy game Kunitsu-gami: Path of the Goddess, neither of which received acclaim or decent sales. PRAGMATA, however, is structurally and thematically […]

French developer Big Bad Wolf (The Council, Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong) returns to the market next month with Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss, a first-person narrative-driven adventure game based on H.P. Lovecraft's beloved cosmic horror mythos. Unlike most Cthulhu stories, though, this one is set in the future, rather than the past. In 2053, with Earth's surface resources almost fully depleted, corporations begin scouring the deepest oceans, utterly unaware of the ancient horror they are about to awaken. Noah, the main character, is an agent of Ancile, a secret division of Interpol that specialises in occult affairs. He is tasked […]
