Are you ready to dive into a thrilling world of gaming demos and industry updates? Get set for an exciting journey through the latest Steam Next Fest, where you’ll be the first to experience the most anticipated games set to captivate your senses!
The Exciting World of Steam Next Fest
Starting this evening at 19:00 Spanish Peninsula time, and running until next Monday, October 21, the Steam Next Fest is back, offering a plethora of game demos that promise to be the next big hits in the gaming world. From intriguing indie projects to potentially blockbuster titles, gamers will have the opportunity to explore a vast array of demos, following a tradition that has consistently offered early peeks at future favorites.
In previous editions, fans had the chance to test out games like Blue Prince, recommended by Daniel Mullins whom we interviewed in May during the Guadalindie event, and Caravan SandWitch, which we covered both in our analysis and on the Podcast Reload. Other notable mentions from past fests include I Am Your Beast, LOK Digital, Creatures of Ava, and Kill Knight.
From Leaks to Blockbusters: A Week in Gaming News
Before we immerse ourselves fully into the festival, let’s cover some critical updates from the gaming industry. On Monday, October 14, GameFreak experienced a massive data leak affecting Pokémon Leyendas: Z-A and revealing information about the tenth generation of Pokémon, other franchise projects, scrapped designs from past generations, dark lore pieces, and unfortunately, personal information of many employees.
Additionally, the gaming world welcomed the announcement of two new studios formed by former members of ZA/UM—the creators of Disco Elysium. On the fifth anniversary of Disco Elysium’s release, we celebrated the birth of Longdue and Summer Eternal, joining other emerging studios like Dark Math Games and Red Info in shaping the future of gaming narratives.
Record-Breaking Releases and Upcoming Launches
Metaphor: ReFantazio, by Atlus, has made a spectacular market entry, selling more than 1 million copies within the first 24 hours of its release. This phenomenal achievement not only highlights the game’s quality but also cements its place as a contender for the year’s best games, as discussed in our latest Podcast Reload.
Looking ahead, the week is packed with exciting new releases across various platforms. Noteworthy games include Neva, Just Dance 2025, and Squirrel with a Gun, launching on Tuesday. Crow Country is set to release on Wednesday, followed by Super Mario Party Jamboree and Citadelum on Thursday. The week will wrap up with Friday releases like Unknown 9: Awakening and Ninja Turtles: Mutantes Desencadenados.
