1. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree 🗡️
Xeet by @Wario64:
“Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree” is the upcoming DLC for the RPG “Elden Ring,” introducing new areas, equipment, weapons, NPCs, quests, bosses, and possibly new types of magic. It will be a significant addition to the game, similar to previous major expansions by FromSoftware.
The released imagery, featuring landscapes with rich wheat fields and a bleeding Erdtree, suggests a post-apocalyptic or pre-corrupt phase in the game. However, the game will not undergo a complete change.
The plot is currently expected to follow the events of the main game. Rumors suggest this phase of the game will focus on characters Miquella or Queen Marika. The release date for “Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree” is still unknown.

3. Gloomwood 🕵️♂️
Xeet by @TafferKing451:
The update to the well-known first-person stealth survival horror game, inspired by games like “System Shock,” “Thief,” and “Resident Evil,” is already enjoying high approval ratings. Thousands of fans are eagerly awaiting the release by developers Dillon Rogers and David Szymanski of New Blood Interactive.
In the new game, you play as a nameless protagonist who wakes up in the dark Victorian town of Gloomwood, confronted with a lack of memories and a mysterious illness. Get ready for a new oppressive sewer network with slimy pustules and a seemingly four-legged monster with claws.
It doesn’t hurt to stock up on plenty of bullet casings before the release. But continue to keep quiet and inconspicuous to avoid alerting your enemies. Look forward to new puzzles that need solving. Don’t miss out on the soundtrack! There is no release date yet, but we expect it in 2024.
4. Haunted Chocolatier 🍫
Xeet by @ConcernedApe:
Who would have thought that an indie game about the world of chocolate making would rank so high among the most coveted new releases? Maybe it’s because the game was first announced in 2021, and now people are really excited to see what it’s all about?
In Haunted Chocolatier, you step into the shoes of a chocolatier who inherits a shabby old chocolate shop. Your task is to revive the business, create chocolate creations, and attract customers. But there’s a twist: the shop is populated by ghosts, and you’ll need to go ghost hunting to tame the spirits and use their help in making chocolate.
The game offers a mix of building simulation and ghost hunting elements. Players can manage chocolate production, discover recipes, build relationships with the spirits, and explore the secrets of the ghostly world. The game from Stardew Valley creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone is expected to be released in 2025. But it’s precisely these games that take a long time to develop, focusing not on quick development but on being crafted with love, that end up being real gems.
5. Hades 2 🌪️
Xeet by @_Deez_Games:
In the sequel to the highly successful rogue-like dungeon crawler “Hades” by Supergiant Games, you’ll once again venture beyond the underworld of Greek myths to battle against the dark titans of time with dark magic. Supergiant Games is known for developing games with deep stories, unique characters, and impressive art, so it’s likely that “Hades 2” will continue this tradition. “Hades 2” is scheduled to start in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store in the second quarter of 2024, no earlier than April, and will be playable not only on PC but also on consoles.
Other games presented at the PC Gaming Show: Other presentations included the city-building simulator “Frostpunk 2,” the sandbox heist game “Teardown,” the sci-fi spaceship simulator “Jumplight Odyssey,” the hardcore survival FPS “Road to Vostok,” and many more. There were also announcements for games like “Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin,” “Dune Awakening,” and “Baldur’s Gate 3.”
Wait, are we missing one? 🕵️♂️
You got us! The most announced and eagerly awaited game is “Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl”. You can find a separate article about this game in our news section.
