Hideo Kojima retweeted an article about a fan-made P.T. port that runs natively on Windows, effectively acknowledging the project. Modder LoreanXavier says the port is about 97% complete and is a 1:1 recreation built by reverse-engineering the PS4 executable with the game's original assets, not an emulator or remake. P.T. released in August 2014 and was removed from the PlayStation store in 2015.

Early access survival game Novus Inceptio received a major update this week, its first since 2018. The map has grown from 9 km² to 64 km² of "pure wilderness," combat has been rebuilt, and the game is now singleplayer with co-op planned. Solo developer Martin Markus Mastný says "the energy and the will to finish the project are back" and asks players for one more chance.
Sheeps is a roguelite whose Steam page describes a mysterious rift that sheep are pouring through, forcing players to count and shear them. As the sheep get more numerous and faster, upgrades like every fifth sheep being blue, an always-even count, grain to distract them, or a magic bag help with counting. Sentient animals such as spiders, chameleons, and business llamas occasionally show up to help, with llamas telling you the sheep count (sometimes incorrectly) and accepting tips afterward. No release date has been announced, but the game can be wishlisted on Steam.

Japanese developer PiXEL's "pseudo 3D style" shooter Angelian Trigger is coming to PS5, due out at some point in 2027.

Warhammer Survivors is a standalone game developed by Auroch Digital in partnership with Poncle, set for release on November 10, 2026, with a demo already available on PC and Xbox. It includes two separate games for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar, each with its own unlocks, stages, and achievements, and turns tabletop items like Nuln Oil paint and D6 dice into weapons alongside a Hobby Table stage and a Paint Pot system. The author found the opening pace slow and the weapon and passive combinations hard to grasp, but expects it to appeal to Warhammer fans.
After 10 hours with the demo, PC Gamer's Fraser Brown argues that Warhammer Survivors, from Boltgun developer Auroch Digital, feels more like a Vampire Survivors sequel than a spin-off. It keeps weapon evolutions, chest drops, arcana, bosses, and upgrades while adding followers, more overt boss fights, and explosive dice, with Nuln oil turned into a weapon that damages and slows enemies. The game launches on November 10, runs well on Steam Deck, and ramps up faster and harder than its predecessor.
The Silver Pines review roundup shows an 87 average and 94% recommended across 17 reviews on OpenCritic. The game launches October 8 on PC and all consoles, blending 2D survival horror with Metroidvania exploration, with critics praising its art and atmosphere while noting clunky combat.
Sega senior executive officer Tsuyoshi Saito told Nikkei that the company is being very cautious about AI in game development and is not entrusting the creative aspects of games to AI. Sega still uses AI to improve efficiency in publishing and corporate departments and for generating business ideas, and it created a "Generative AI Committee" in 2025. Saito also said Sega has been considering how to engage with indie game developers, hoping to coexist by leveraging its distribution network and marketing expertise.

Car Park Capital is a management game where you play as a representative of big auto, tasked with transforming the eco-friendly, public-transport-rich Baldtown City into a petrol-dependent, car-brained suburbia. You buy land, build parking lots, put up pro-car signage, and use a bullhorn van to drum up demand, while buying up bus stops and subway stations to weaken public transport. The game is published by MicroProse Software and developed by Hilkojj Interactive, with a style reminiscent of Bullfrog's Theme Park and Theme Hospital.
At a talk at last weekend's Play Expo in Blackpool, the Oliver Twins announced a new Dizzy game, mostly a remake of 1989's Treasure Island Dizzy that merges the ZX Spectrum and NES versions and adds a new Mega Drive version plus a new "Ultra" version with modern visuals. Phillip Oliver said generative AI was used to avoid the cost of a year-long art project, and Andrew Oliver argued it lets indies compete on production quality with large studios.
Tarae: The Unbound, a top-down ARPG from South Korean studio Boundary and publisher Krafton, showed solid combat in a Gamescom demo rooted in Buddhist mythology with three playable classes. The Samurai's charged slash and teleporting dagger felt weighty, while the sorcerer boss proved genuinely challenging. The game is far from finished, and its build customization and Eastern mythology setting remain largely unseen.
Ultra Street Fighter IV has received two rollback netcode mods, Faabi's SF4Enhanced and Kabiefox's SF4 Ember, both released in the last few weeks with rollback netcode and private rooms, and both coded with the assistance of Anthropic's Claude.

Both mods appear to be getting a lot of play.

Its Steam page once listed English as a language option but now lists only Japanese.
Developer Abraxaes announced on September 25 that its surreal horror FPS-RPG Divine Frequency will launch in early access on October 27.

YouTuber MuYe shared the first PS5 Pro footage of BeamNG.drive, showing its presentation, console interface, and limitations. Spawning too many cars can tank the frame rate as on PC, but normal play runs well even with split-screen; there are no mods in this version, though the developer says it is looking for ways to support them. All PC content will be available, including the v0.40 update launching on 19th October alongside the PS5 port, with pricing unannounced but expected to be similar to the PC version's current $24.99/£18.99.
