Missed the FGS Live stream from Gamescom 2026? Don't worry, we've got you covered. The show was jam-packed with world premieres, fresh gameplay, and a few surprises that are worth your attention. Let's dive into the highlights.
First up, the action-packed shooter 'Neon Requiem' got a new trailer showing off its cyberpunk world and fast-paced combat. The game is set in a neon-drenched metropolis where you play as a rogue agent with a grudge. The trailer showed off some slick parkour moves and a grappling hook mechanic that looks like it'll add a fresh twist to the genre. No release date yet, but it's coming to PC and consoles.
If you're into strategy, you'll want to check out 'Empire of Ashes'. This new historical strategy game puts you in charge of a crumbling empire, and you need to navigate political intrigue, manage resources, and lead your armies to victory. The trailer gave us a glimpse of the detailed map and unit customization, which looks deep enough to satisfy any tactics fan. It's slated for a 2027 launch.
For horror fans, 'The Hollow' sent chills down our spines with its eerie reveal. This first-person psychological horror game takes place in an abandoned asylum, and the trailer was full of disturbing imagery and a creepy soundtrack. The game promises to mess with your mind, with a narrative that adapts to your choices. It's coming out next year, just in time for Halloween.
Indie darlings are always a highlight, and 'Cosmic Courier' didn't disappoint. This charming adventure game follows a space mail carrier as they zip between planets, delivering packages and meeting quirky aliens. The art style is adorable, and the gameplay looks like a mix of 'Jetpack Joyride' and 'Animal Crossing'. It's set to launch on Switch and PC this winter.
There were also some exciting updates for existing games. 'Starfall Tactics' announced a new expansion called 'Void Rising', which adds a new campaign, new ships, and a co-op mode. The expansion will drop this fall, and it looks like it'll bring a lot of fresh content for veteran commanders. Meanwhile, 'Mystic Realms' got a major update that introduces a new playable class, the Spellblade, along with a new dungeon and a revamped skill tree. That's available now for all players.
One of the most surprising moments was the announcement of 'Puzzle Quest: Remastered'. The classic match-3 RPG is getting a full HD remake with updated graphics, new puzzles, and quality-of-life improvements. It's coming to mobile and PC in early 2027, and it's a great way to relive the nostalgia or experience it for the first time.
That wraps up the FGS Live showcase. There was a little something for everyone, from adrenaline-pumping shooters to mind-bending horror. Which reveal got you most excited? Are you adding any of these to your wishlist? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
