The last week of September and the first days of October brought not just one high-profile video, but a whole scattering of announcements: the return of Motorsport Manager, a new look at Persona 4 Revival, a strange GTA-like Alaturka, a demo of the new Castlevania and a free sequel to 007 First Light.We've collected what's really worth adding to your watch list.
Motorsport Manager 2 - the return of racing management
Playsport Games has announced Motorsport Manager 2 for PC in 2027.The focus is again not on the races themselves, but on the work of the team leader: the composition, car development, strategy and decisions that are made before the driver takes to the track.After a long break, this is one of the clearest announcements of the week - the series is returning precisely to the audience that was waiting for a full-fledged continuation.
Persona 4 Revival - Shadows come to the fore again
Atlus ended the week with a fresh Shadow Trailer.The video reminds us that behind the bright Inaba lies a story about murder, the Midnight Channel and Shadows - the unpleasant sides of personality that the heroes are forced to accept.The remake is released on February 18, 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC, and the Switch 2 version is announced for May 20.We already have more details in separate news about the new trailer.
STRANGER THAN HEAVEN – RGG Studio showed Osaka in 1943
SEGA and RGG Studio have released a large gameplay snippet of 1943 Minami, Osaka In-Depth Look.For the project, this is more important than a regular teaser: you can appreciate the wartime streets, the atmosphere of the area and how the studio transfers a familiar approach to urban action to a different historical era.
God of War: Laufey – new video and pre-orders
The God of War spin-off has received another trailer ahead of its release on February 16, 2027 on PS5.This time the emphasis is not on an unexpected announcement, but on a reminder about the project and the start of pre-orders.For Sony, this is already the stage of regularly warming up the audience before the winter release window.
Castlevania: Belmont's Curse - demo available now
For Castlevania's 40th anniversary, the series returns with a new 2.5D game.A fresh video accompanies the free demo version, and the save will be allowed to be transferred to the full version.The release is set for October 15 for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch and PC - a good opportunity to check out the game before purchasing.
World of Warcraft Forever - Blizzard explains the new version of WoW
Ahead of the launch on November 4th, Blizzard began a series of in-depth videos about World of Warcraft Forever.The overview trailer is needed primarily for those who are confused between Forever, Modern and Classic: the developers explain how the new branch differs from the existing versions of World of Warcraft.
Total War: Shogun 2 Complete Edition - remaster shows changes
Creative Assembly is bringing back one of the most beloved Total War titles.The Complete Edition review video shows the reworking of the classic strategy ahead of its October 13 release on PC.This is no longer just a nostalgic teaser: the video allows you to compare the update with the original.
007 First Light: Extended Operations - a free reason to return
IO Interactive has released Extended Operations for free.The set includes new TacSim tasks, Photo Mode, costumes and New Game+, and difficulty mode 00 is designed for repeated playthroughs without the usual indulgences.We discussed the update in detail in separate material SNBK Games.
Little Nightmares III: The Shores - the nightmare continues
The second expansion, The Shores, has been released for Little Nightmares III.The new trailer again relies not on explanations, but on unsettling locations and visual images - what the series traditionally works best on.The DLC is already available on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Switch 2 and PC.
Alaturka - as if GTA was stuck in the era of the first PlayStation
One of the most unusual videos of the week: deliberately rough retro graphics, Turkish flavor, cars and street life.The game does not yet have a date; a PC version is announced.It’s the image that’s interesting here—the project is easily recognizable from a few seconds of video.
Slam Tank - a tank that fights with a pipe
Slam Tank builds the entire first effect around an absurd idea: a heavy tank drifts and hits with a huge metal pipe.For now, this is a PC project without a date, but at least it fulfilled the purpose of the announcement trailer - the game is difficult to confuse with something else.
Four more projects that should not be lost
A Game About Digging A Hole Together turns the viral idea of digging a hole into a co-op and is announced for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2 and PC. The Ninth Legion - a pixel RTS with a large number of units, planned for March 2027. Ghost Eater stands out due to its black and white manga stylization. BrainWash: Zombie Cleanup proposes not to save the world after a zombie apocalypse, but to literally clean up the mess left after it.
Which one is most important?
If you choose not by the loudness of the brand, but by the fact that the videos really added to the understanding of the games, I would leave four points: Persona 4 Revival for the new thematic trailer, STRANGER THAN HEAVEN for a large piece of gameplay, Castlevania for the accessible demo version and Motorsport Manager 2 as a full-fledged return of the series.The rest are good radar for projects worth returning to after the next big show.
