Survive the Moon. Explore the Unknown.

Moon Mystery begins with a lone astrogeologist stranded on the Moon after mysteriously losing contact with Earth. With only T.O.B.Y.—a loyal AI companion—to guide you, survival quickly spirals into something far greater. Players will battle rogue technology, uncover ancient lunar ruins, and traverse hostile alien worlds that push the boundaries of exploration.

Expect shifting gravity on strange planets, a sprawling orbital city hanging in the void, and even the surreal pull of a black hole. The game seamlessly blends first-person shooting, environmental puzzles, and vehicle-based gameplay—with vehicles ranging from lunar rovers and submarines to spacecraft moving freely in three dimensions.

A Handcrafted Sci-Fi Adventure

At its core, Moon Mystery is a story-driven FPS adventure about discovery and survival. Along the way, you’ll master zero-gravity combat, experiment with over 100 weapon attachments, and use a diverse set of vehicles to navigate across alien environments. The game’s handcrafted narrative evolves with each new location, ensuring that every step forward feels like uncovering another layer of humanity’s cosmic future.

From Passion Project to Indie Studio

Moon Mystery started as a solo after-hours project in Warsaw but quickly gained traction through Kickstarter and the support of indie.io. That success helped Cosmoscouts grow into a small independent Polish studio, still guided by the same indie spirit that fueled its beginnings: making a deeply personal, ambitious, and story-rich sci-fi game.

Moon Mystery launches September 18, 2025, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with Xbox pre-orders live now. The game is already available on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, so PC players can dive in today.

Players step into the boots of Captain Chuck “WOLFHOUND” Rossetti, a soldier tasked with infiltrating a mysterious island, rescuing survivors, and wiping out Axis forces. But things quickly take a grotesque turn thanks to the twisted experiments of Nazi scientist Dr. Steiner.

The new trailer gives a gruesome glimpse at the horrors waiting in Steiner’s fortress — giant mutant rats with bladed tails, hulking armored guards, and pulsating flesh monstrosities. Fortunately, Rossetti isn’t defenseless. Players will scavenge weapons and ammo, wield devastating experimental tech like a railgun, and unlock advanced movement tools such as air-dash boots and a jetpack to survive the island’s nightmarish terrain.

“The team and I have largely gone heads down since our successful reveal in 2024, but we’re glad to finally show off some of the new bizarre foes you’ll square off with,” said James Petruzzi, founder and lead developer at Bit Kid. “We know our fans have been itching to see more and try it for themselves – stop by the MIX’s event in Seattle tonight and try it for yourself.”

With its mix of retro-inspired platforming, gruesome enemy design, and over-the-top weaponry, WOLFHOUND is shaping up to be a must-play for Metroidvania fans. Expect the fight against Steiner’s creations to kick off in 2026.

The latest video takes fans deep into the world of The Expanse, highlighting some of the key locations players will explore, including the industrial power of Pinkwater, the fragile farmlands of Ganymede, and the bustling, chaotic corridors of Ceres Station.

“Every place in The Expanse tells a story,” said Alexander Mishulin, Creative Director at Owlcat Games. “It’s not just about authenticity—it’s about showing the struggles and hopes of the people who live there. That sense of survival and consequence is what we want players to feel.”

Expanding the Universe

Set against the backdrop of a colonized solar system where Earth, Mars, and the Belt remain locked in conflict, Osiris Reborn puts players in the role of a Pinkwater Security mercenary caught in the chaos of Eros Station’s deadly lockdown.

Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Somber Echoes plunges players into a decaying starship where Greco-Roman myth meets rogue-like gameplay. You’ll step into the boots of Adrestia, a fallen tribune resurrected by an unknown force and given one last shot to stop her sister, Harmonia, from unraveling the fabric of the universe.

A Mythic Metroidvania with a Cosmic Twist

Set in a bleak future where Earth’s natural resources are nearly gone, Grimstar puts you in the boots of a reluctant company worker forced to continue a high-risk mission on an alien world teeming with crystalline energy. What starts as another day at the office quickly spirals into something darker. The planet is hostile. The locals are violent. And the truth behind your brother’s death isn’t buried as deep as the minerals you’re mining.

Strategy With Purpose

At its core, Grimstar is a classic single-player RTS with a modern, narrative-driven twist. Across a multi-mission campaign, players will:

• Harvest resources from an alien landscape

• Build and expand infrastructure under constant threat

• Command military units to secure extraction zones

• Survive and adapt as enemies evolve and resistance escalates

Each mission emphasizes smart resource management and tactical decision-making. Waste too much, and progression slows. Conserve wisely, and you’ll unlock advanced units, new structures, and game-changing tech.

Three Planets. One War.

As the campaign unfolds, players gain access to three distinct alien worlds, each with its own biome, terrain, and tactical layers. From wide-open mining fields to claustrophobic cave networks, no two missions play the same. Objectives range from full-scale extraction to stealth-based artifact recovery and precision strike operations that demand tight control and sharp planning.

Hero Units That Matter

One of Grimstar’s standout features is its persistent hero units. These elite characters can be deployed in every mission without draining your resources. They level up independently, unlocking unique weapons and new abilities that make them essential tools in your tactical arsenal—whether you’re punching through enemy lines or pulling off high-value assassinations.

Not Just a War for Resources

Beneath the surface-level conflict lies a story of systemic exploitation—of you, the workers around you, and the planet itself. Grimstar isn’t just about victory conditions; it’s about questioning who benefits, and who pays the price. The company isn’t asking you to win—they’re demanding it. And in the end, you’ll have to decide what that cost really is.

Grimstar launches June 16 on Steam. Whether you’re in it for the strategy, the story, or the challenge of surviving a corporate war on an alien world, this one’s worth watching.

La Quimera, the debut title from Ukrainian developer Reburn—formerly known as 4A Games Ukraine—is now live in Early Access on PC via Steam. If that name rings a bell, it should: these are the folks who helped shape the acclaimed Metro series.

Set in the sprawling, war-torn Latin American megalopolis of Nuevo Caracas, La Quimera throws you into the boots of a struggling private military company stuck between cutthroat factions, rogue AI, and a collapsing world.

Why Early Access?

Reburn is opening the doors early so players can help shape the game’s future. While the campaign is already up and running, Early Access will expand over time with new levels, narrative beats, and gameplay improvements based directly on community feedback.

Launching in Early Access gives us the chance to build something special with the community—and deliver a shooter experience unlike anything else on the market.”

La Quimera is led by Metro Exodus AI and gameplay designer Oleksandr Kostiuk, and the studio is stacked with veteran talent from across Metro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and other genre-defining shooters.
