Neverway by Celeste artist, blends cosy life sim and dark fantasy horror in 2026 release
Coldblood Inc. has announced that its upcoming title, Neverway, a pixel-art life simulation RPG with a darker twist, will launch in 2026. The game was featured during Nintendo's latest Indie World Showcase, offering a first look at its unique blend of life-sim mechanics and supernatural themes. The project is co-directed by Pedro Medeiros, best known for his art on Celeste, alongside other experienced indie developers. Described by the studio as a 'nightmarish life sim RPG,' Neverway retains familiar gameplay elements such as farming, crafting, cooking, fishing, combat, and building relationships with non-player characters, while introducing a more unsettling narrative layer. In Neverway, players take on the role of a new resident in a rural setting, only to discover that they are the immortal herald of a dead god. This premise shapes the core storyline, with the game's Steam description urging players to 'make friends, fight through horrors, and pay your debt' with a recurring warning that debt must be repaid 'at all costs.' The trailer showcased a range of in-game scenes, from peaceful farming to encounters with eerie creatures such as crawling ghouls and floating skulls. This combination of pastoral life and horror elements aims to set Neverway apart from traditional life sims, which typically focus on lighter themes. With Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe shifting focus to his upcoming project, Haunted Chocolatier, Neverway may capture the interest of fans looking for a fresh but familiar experience with added narrative depth. Players will be able to purchase Neverway on PC via Steam, with further platform availability yet to be confirmed. Coldblood Inc. has not announced a specific release date for 2026.

UFO 50 launches on Nintendo Switch 2 after surprise Indie World Showcase reveal
Nintendo's latest Indie World Showcase included a surprise announcement as Mossmouth's UFO 50 arrived on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 immediately after the event. The game is available now for $25 via the Nintendo eShop. Originally released on PC in 2024, UFO 50 was recognised by CNET as one of the year's standout indie titles. The game is notable for featuring 50 different retro-inspired 8-bit style games spanning genres such as platformers, shooters, and role-playing games. Each title was created by a different independent developer but is tied together by the fictional backstory of UFOSoft, a make-believe studio that supposedly produced the games decades ago without releasing them. Some of the included titles are designed for single-player experiences, while others support multiplayer gameplay. Although the collection draws heavily on the look and feel of classic NES-era games, Mossmouth has incorporated modern design elements to ensure the games appeal to contemporary audiences. In addition to UFO 50, the Indie World Showcase revealed more than a dozen other indie titles. Highlights included Little Kitty, Big City, Content Warning, Winter Burrow, and Mina the Hollower. Release dates vary, with some arriving in the coming weeks and others scheduled for 2026. A physical edition of UFO 50 is also available for preorder through Fangamer for $35. Players can choose to experience the collection on either the original Nintendo Switch or the newer Switch 2, with both versions offering the full set of games. Nintendo's presentation once again demonstrated its commitment to bringing a wide range of independent titles to its consoles, with UFO 50's surprise launch standing out as one of the event's most unexpected announcements.

Lost Soul Aside goes gold after 11 years in development, releasing on PS5 and PC this August
Ultizero Games has announced that Lost Soul Aside has officially gone gold, marking the end of its lengthy 11-year development. The action RPG will release on August 29 2025 for PlayStation 5 and PC, with Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Korea receiving it a day later. The project began in 2016 when Chinese developer Yang Bing shared a demo video that quickly gained attention online. The footage caught Sony's eye, leading to Lost Soul Aside becoming part of the China Hero Project, a PlayStation initiative that supports indie Chinese developers with resources such as quality control, code reviews, audio, and marketing. What started as a solo endeavour has since grown into a 40-person studio effort. The game's style reflects Bing's admiration for the Final Fantasy series, combining manga-inspired characters with realistic textures. In an interview with Famitsu, Bing explained that the mix of surreal and realistic design elements influenced the creation of the game's protagonist. For its combat system, Lost Soul Aside takes cues from titles like Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, and Devil May Cry, blending fast-paced action with elaborate visual effects. The development team is now focusing on final optimisation and testing ahead of launch, having shifted from the original planned PlayStation 4 release to fully utilise PS5 hardware. Two editions will be available: the Standard Edition at $59.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition at $69.99. Pre-purchases are open ahead of the game's debut later this month.
