Josh Cotts — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:00:17 GMT

GameRant's Summer Games Week is all about highlighting some of the most notable games coming out this summer. As usual, 2026's summer season is a bit on the lighter side when it comes to big releases, but it's not entirely devoid of games worth mentioning. In fact, several indie games worth keeping an eye on are targeting summer launches this year, beginning with Witchspire, an open-world survival crafting game coming to Steam Early Access on June 10.

When it comes to Roblox games that were inspired by popular anime series, they don't come much bigger than Blox Fruits. The game regularly has more than half a million active players and has racked up almost 60 billion visits since its launch in early 2019. It's a must-play for anyone craving a life of adventure, particularly those who also happen to have an interest in games that are like One Piece.

New ARPG on Steam is Diablo Meets God of War Remixed into the Extraction Genre

Josh Cotts — Fri, 29 May 2026 09:00:16 GMT

The ARPG genre has spent what feels like forever living in Diablo's shadow, but Gods, Death and Reapers is at least trying to step out of it through a different door. Developed by Wolcen Studio, the upcoming free-to-play Steam game takes the familiar bones of an isometric loot-driven RPG and drops them into an extraction loop, where every run is built around surviving long enough to bring something valuable back. That alone makes Gods, Death and Reapers a standout addition to the ARPG space, as it adds tension to a genre that feels like it has become more about one-click builds and enemies that hardly pose a threat than any actual risk.

New FPS Game Looks Like the Metro Games If They Were Extraction Shooters

It kind of feels like extraction shooters are everywhere right now, which inadvertently makes it difficult for any new one to stand out on the label alone. Deep Worlds' Beautiful Light seems to understand that too, because its strongest hook isn't just that players are fighting to get in and out alive. It's that they're doing so inside a tactical horror FPS where three-player squads enter the world to secure an artifact and then attempt to extract while other players hunt them as both armed operators and monstrous anomalies. On Steam, Beautiful Light is described as a PvPvPvE tactical first-person extraction shooter for that reason, because it takes a concept that games like ARC Raiders and Marathon know well and then increases the complexity of what the genre's gameplay loop traditionally reaches for.

New Simulation Game on Steam is Goat Simulator and Job Simulator Rolled Up into One Game

Josh Cotts — Thu, 21 May 2026 11:00:17 GMT

Table Flip Simulator is built around a feeling most people have probably had at least once, even if they would never actually act on it. After a bad day at work, sometimes the fantasy isn't to solve the problem, talk it out, or take the high road, but to flip the nearest table and let the whole room become someone else's problem. Developed by YummyYummyTummy and published by PM Studios, this brand-new simulation game on Steam takes that impulse and turns it into a physics-based puzzle game where ordinary places like coffee shops, classrooms, movie theaters, and offices become playgrounds for destruction.

Every Game Confirmed for Summer Game Fest So Far

Summer Game Fest 2026 is just around the corner, and as one of the biggest showcases of the year, there is likely plenty to be excited about, even if much of it has yet to be revealed. The main Summer Game Fest showcase is set for June 5 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where Geoff Keighley and Lucy James will host a look at what is next for video games. However, while the flagship show itself is still keeping most of its specific game lineup under wraps, the entire weekend surrounding Summer Game Fest has already confirmed many of the titles that will be revealed in showcases like Future Games Show and the Xbox Games Showcase.

New Party-Based RPG on Steam Basically Simulates the Older Final Fantasy Games

Josh Cotts — Fri, 15 May 2026 11:00:18 GMT

It's not uncommon for a modern RPG to claim retro inspiration, but it's an entirely different story when one is as direct about the era it's chasing as When the Light Dies. Following the successes of Undefeated and The Tale of the Common Man, When the Light Dies is the fifth title from Gemelle Games, and just like the aforementioned games, it's a 2D old-school RPG intentionally made to reflect the style of the SNES Final Fantasy games. This isn't an estimate based on visuals either, as When the Light Dies' Steam page explicitly mentions that era of Final Fantasy games as a callback, potentially making it perfect for players who are craving an old-school experience like that.
