Key Takeaways

📺 Neo Berlin 2087 gameplay trailer released at Gamescom 2025

Neo Berlin 2087 is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing blends of storytelling and gameplay on the horizon. Revealed during Gamescom 2025, the latest Neo Berlin 2087 gameplay trailer showcases its striking mix of first- and third-person perspectives set against a grim cyberpunk backdrop. The trailer teases a futuristic metropolis steeped in noir-style atmosphere, where every flicker of neon light hides a secret and every conversation could change the course of the story.


Scheduled to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, the game promises a hybrid action RPG experience with branching choices, immersive combat, and exploration woven together. The preview footage hints at both high-octane gunfights and intimate narrative moments, reinforcing the title's ambition to merge cinematic storytelling with open-ended player agency. While the release date remains under wraps, developer updates and fan discussions—such as those on social media—are already fueling speculation about how Neo Berlin 2087 will distinguish itself in the crowded cyberpunk genre.

📺 Of Peaks and Tides announced as a survival sandbox inspired by Eastern mythology

The freshly unveiled Of Peaks and Tides takes players into a myth-infused survival sandbox world unlike most on the market. Drawing on rich Eastern mythology, the game combines environmental storytelling with hands-on survival mechanics, challenging players to endure both the elements and the mystical forces inhabiting its vast landscapes. According to the IGN announcement article, players will explore towering mountain ranges, shimmering coastlines, and sacred sites steeped in lore, while crafting tools, building shelters, and uncovering the world's hidden truths.


Early impressions from the debut trailer suggest a serene yet perilous adventure, where balance between resource gathering and respecting ancient spirits could determine survival. Now available to wishlist on Steam, Of Peaks and Tides offers the promise of a deeply atmospheric journey that blends cultural heritage with modern sandbox design. While the release date is yet to be revealed, fans of games like Valheim or The Forest—myself included, given my long history of diving deep into survival worlds—will likely keep this title on their radar.

📺 Crimson Desert delayed again to early 2026

In a move that disappointed many RPG fans, Pearl Abyss has confirmed that Crimson Desert will now launch in the first quarter of 2026. As reported by IGN, the delay stems from "unavoidable" challenges in scheduling voiceovers, completing console certification, and finalizing other launch preparations. For a game that has already captured attention with its sweeping landscapes, fluid combat, and cinematic flair, this marks another pushback in an already extended development cycle.


While delays often frustrate players, they can also be a sign of a developer's commitment to delivering a polished final product. Crimson Desert's previous gameplay showcases suggested a hybrid experience that straddles open-world RPG and story-driven adventure, with influences from both action combat systems and large-scale narrative arcs. By moving the release window, Pearl Abyss might be ensuring that the final experience lives up to its ambitious vision—one that aims to stand alongside the most memorable fantasy RPGs of the decade.
