Mewgenics, the long-in-development endless cat breeding game from devs Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, has just had its release pencilled in for February 10th, 2026, by a fresh trailer. Yes, it’s still looking very weird and nigh impossible to explain to a mate in less than two minutes.

Following on from the trailer it got in April, this latest one roped in the most fitting collab Binding of Isaac developer McMillen and co could have landed, in the form of sinewy surrealism expert and YouTuber MeatCanyon. We’ve also gotten a nice overview of where the devs are at in assembling their weird feline with two heads.

The appearance of Bernband during last night’s PC Gaming Show had a few of us at RPS clicking our fingers and pointing at our monitors yelling: “Bernband! Bernband!” This remake of the best sci-fi walking sim of 2014 has been in the works for a while. Creator Tom van den Boogaart has dipped in and out of working on the alien wanderer, often switching focus to other projects such as Grunn. But now it looks like we are once again getting a trickle of sweet extraterrestrial wanderlust. Here’s a trailer.

After providing a go-to place for very big and very buggy Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London last year, GOG have just announced that they’re expanding their efforts to be a go-to place of you want to easily play high-profile or must-have mods for certain games.

The old and also new game merchants have revealed a new initiative aimed at offering “seamless mod integration”, as well as announcing that they’ll be hosting Skyblivion – the modding project remaking Oblivion in Skyrim‘s engine that currently targeting a release this year – when it arrives.

Skyblivion’s been on track to come out in 2025 for a little while now, and now we know at least one of the places you’ll be able to grab it when it arrives – GOG.com.

The massive modding project that’s remaking The Elder Scrolls 4 in Skyrim’s engine has been in the works for over a decade. Having not had their hard work torpedoed by Bethesda and Virtuos’ own Oblivion remaster, its team are currently grafting hard to ensure they’re ready when the time comes to pull the release trigger.

With the mod now confirmed by GOG to be arriving on the PC storefront in 2025, assuming it makes its current release goal, I reached out to Skyblivion project lead Kyle ‘Rebelzize’ Rebel and GOG themselves. We chatted about what went into the decision for the same PC storefront that hosted Fallout: London’s release last year to handle this Oblivion-remaking Skyrim mod, and where progress is at on the road to release.

Ubisoft are nowhere to be found during this year’s not-E3 season, meaning there’s no opportunity for the French publisher to announce six new games they’ll never release. I still crave a Splinter Cell fix, however, and Mudang: Two Hearts delivered, kinda. It’s Korean, it’s got fast-moving rage zombies, but it’s also got men shimmying up pipes, cinematic brawls, and a rapid-cut montage of knife crimes. You should watch the trailer.

Atlus have announced a remake of Persona 4, called Persona 4 Revival, possibly because they have run out of ideas, just like everyone else. I snark, I snark, it’s the summer of video games, we’re allowed to do a bit of that. Here’s the short trailer showing the flashified protag-kun running through the city streets in his school uniform.

Nordic stealth game Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream crept out from behind some barrels during last night’s Future Games Show and hit audiences over the back of the head with a release date. Some of the developers also showed up to share their enthusiasm for the game’s lighting effects, which to be fair are quite nice.

Hello reader who is also a reader, and welcome back to Booked For The Week – our regular Sunday chat with a selection of cool industry folks about books! No cool industry person this week. Instead, fantastic news: thanks to a new device that identifies trace levels of the arsenic once used to make book covers green, you can go back to laying fat St. Bernards on every sour lime flavoured tome you see, safe in the knowledge that the ones liable to give you the rare nosebleeding condition known as the ‘hungry librarian’ have been safely quarantined. Huzzah.

I’ve been excited about Roman Sands RE:Build since the moment I laid my eyes on it, particularly because it’s from the same studio behind the ever-haunting Paratopic. Roman Sands just has a ridiculously strong art direction to it, very much one that could easily be dubbed Y2K, but I think more accurately should be seen as an evolution of the aesthetic/ era. Almost as if this is the direction it could have gone in.
