The Occultist Opens Its Haunting Case During Steam Detective Fest
Follow the clues. Trust the pendulum. Survive what answers back.
Hamburg, Germany – January 12, 2026 – Daedalic Entertainment and developer DALOAR announce that The Occultist is now playable with a new demo as part of Steam Detective Fest. Players take on the role of Alan Rebel, a paranormal investigator whose search for truth drags him into a nightmare of hidden symbols, violent echoes, and entities that do not want to be found.
The demo presents the game’s opening chapter, unfolding across an isolated haunting landscape where every location feels watched and every discovery carries weight. Using Alan’s pendulum, players expose clues, blood-stained traces, and occult objects while navigating a sinister wilderness. What begins as careful investigation escalates into psychological terror, ending in a relentless pursuit by a supernatural presence and a desperate escape.
Blending first-person exploration with slow-burning psycho-horror, The Occultist focuses on atmosphere, vulnerability, and the fear of uncovering truths better left buried.
The demo for The Occultist is available now on Steam as part of Steam Detective Fest. The full game is set to launch in Q2 2026.
The demo is currently available in English, Spanish (Spain), French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish (Latin America), Traditional Chinese and Turkish.

CODE VEIN II OVERVIEW TRAILER SHOWCASES NEW COMBAT GAMEPLAY AND ALL-NEW PARTNER SYSTEM
Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. today released the official overview trailer highlighting the exciting new game play systems coming in CODE VEIN™II. The trailer offers a deep dive on character creation tools, Revenant combat, and an expanded look into the different environments that players will discover on the frontier. Developed by Bandai Namco Studios Inc., CODE VEIN II sends players on an epic narrative-driven journey where they wield time as a weapon, explore past and present versions of a collapsing world, and join forces with companions through the game’s dynamic Partner System. The title will launch on January 30, 2026, and is available now for pre-orders on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam®. An upcoming CODE VEIN II Character Creator demo is available for free on January 23, letting eager Revenants use the game’s deep customization to create characters they can transfer into the final game after purchase. For more information on this title, visit www.playcodevein.com.
The overview trailer spotlights key features that players will utilize to survive the post-apocalyptic world in CODE VEIN II. Combat in the game has been expanded, introducing new depth and strategy through enhanced Drain Attacks, Formae, and the Partner System. Drain Attacks are offensive maneuvers used to extract Ichor, an essential resource that fuels the player’s most powerful abilities. Using this Ichor allows players to unleash powerful attacks called Formae, which includes Weapon Formae that modify attacks and grant buffs, Bequeathed Formae that summon unique weapons for devastating strikes, and Defensive Formae that offer critical blocks, counters, and evasive maneuvers. Jails are specialized artifacts worn on the player’s back and further shape combat by altering stats, modifying Drain Attacks, and providing tactical advantages based on the encounter.
The trailer also highlights the Restorative Offering, a mechanic where partners can restore the fallen Revenant Hunter with recovered health, though a cooldown leaves them temporarily incapacitated and unable to assist in battle. Newly added to the weapon roster, CODE VEIN II features the Twin Blades and Rune Blades, joining returning favorites such as the Bayonet, Halberd, Hammer, and Greatsword. These weapon types are supported by the expanded Blood Code system, which allows players to shape their combat style by unlocking and swapping between different Revenant power sets as they progress. Boosters allow players to unlock new key attributes and activate traits tied to Blood Codes and equipment, enabling players to create specialized playstyles.
Ahead of launch, players can dive into the CODE VEIN II Character Creator Demo starting on January 23, 2026. Offering 64 save slots that transfer directly into the final game, the Character Creator Demo allows players to experience the game’s deep customization system for the game’s protagonist Revenant Hunter, where players can customize their characters to great detail with a vast array of settings for body type, hairstyle, facial expressions, accessories, makeup and more. Players can also visit the hot spring at the MagMell Institute to view their character in different lighting environments and use Photo Mode to capture and save their creations.
CODE VEIN II features a deep narrative where players and characters are bound by blood, fate, and destiny, set in a future where the last remnants of humanity and Revenants struggle against a world on the verge of collapse. The player’s journey will span across haunting, post-apocalyptic landscapes including the flooded ruins of the Sunken City, The Undead Forest, the Corroded Scar, the isolated MagMell Island, and more. As the story unfolds, players will encounter legendary heroes, Revenants whose destinies intertwine with the world’s survival. The game also features distinctive gameplay for an action RPG, where players use blood drained from enemies to unlock a variety of powerful skills, build strategy for combat with Blood codes, and use unique weapons and equipment called Jails to overcome challenging foes and epic bosses.

Preorders Open for Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown as Deluxe Edition, Console Demos, Switch 2 Version And Launch Date Are Revealed
Preorders open today for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, accompanied by the reveal of the Deluxe Edition, console demos and the confirmed February 18, 2026 release date.
Hamburg, Germany – January 13, 2026 – Daedalic Entertainment and developer gameXcite announce that Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown will launch on February 18, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC. With this announcement, the teams also confirm that Nintendo Switch 2 joins PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for a simultaneous release across all platforms.
At the same time, preorders open today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, accompanied by the reveal of the Deluxe Edition.
Alongside the start of the preorder of the standard and digital deluxe versions, a free demo is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, incorporating the extensive feedback gathered from the community. The new version features improved UI clarity, enhanced ship-control feedback, refined combat pacing, and additional guidance in key decision-making moments, ensuring new captains can step onto the bridge with confidence. A demo for Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to follow soon as well as the updated version for the Steam PC demo.
In the demo, captains will navigate a sector inspired by the legendary pilot episode “The Caretaker”. The demo includes a guided tutorial and approximately an hour of gameplay, challenging players to keep their starship intact, their crew alive, and their heading true as they begin an epic journey back to the Alpha Quadrant.
In the tradition of Starfleet’s finest, the Deluxe Edition brings captains deeper into the unknown, adding new missions, new recruitable heroes, and powerful technologies drawn from pivotal alien encounters in the Delta Quadrant. This expanded content integrates directly into the campaign, offering fresh tactical options and new narrative possibilities for returning and first-time players alike.
The landing page has detailed information on preorder editions, demos and more:
https://www.startrekvoyagergame.comAs part of today’s announcement, Daedalic Entertainment and gameXcite also release a new video – the Combat Deep Dive – showcasing one of the core systems of Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown and how the team brought Star Trek–authentic decision-making to life on the bridge of the U.S.S. Voyager. In Voyager-style combat, you don’t fly the ship like Tom Paris and you don’t manually fire weapons like Tuvok. You make captain’s calls: directing targets and subsystems, adjusting positioning and energy levels, deciding when to launch torpedoes, and more. These decisions shape authentic, tactical Star Trek combat.
“Following the demo release, we’ve taken lots of valuable player feedback on board. This valuable input allows us to refine core gameplay systems even further, polish localization, and add meaningful details – ensuring the journey through the Delta Quadrant will shine when the game launches in early 2026,” says Daniel Bernard, Game Director at gameXcite.
Jonas Hüsges, COO of Daedalic Entertainment GmbH, shared the following:
“Matching the spirit of Starfleet, we want to bring this adventure to as many of you as possible on day one. The additional time allows us to synchronize all platforms, including the newly added Nintendo Switch 2 version and improve the game on all levels. A unified launch is the right call for a story about a crew that survives by sticking together. We’re excited to give fans the best possible voyage home.”PlayStation Store:
