The game Mewgenics, developed by the renowned Edmund McMillen, has changed its release date. Instead of coming out in 2025 as initially planned, it is now scheduled to debut on February 10, 2026. This decision is due to the complexity of the holiday period, where AAA releases flood the market, and McMillen seeks for his game to receive the attention it deserves.
Edmund McMillen has no problem making us wait a little longer
In a message shared on Steam, McMillen mentioned that launching Mewgenics in November or December would be complicated due to the fierce competition from other titles arriving to take advantage of the holiday spirit. “We want this game to have the attention it deserves and we don’t want to compete with holiday releases,” he explained. Additionally, the delay will allow the team to have eight more months to perfect the programming and testing. This will result in a more polished and well-prepared experience for the audience.
Despite the fact that the holiday season is traditionally known as the “golden quarter” for retail sales, digital distribution has changed the game, especially for independent titles. While games like Balatro and Dave the Diver have seen notable success when released outside the holiday season, McMillen believes that choosing the right moment is more crucial than ever.
In order to keep its player community informed and excited, McMillen plans to conduct live streams and offer hands-on previews of the game starting in January 2026. “We know you want to play, and we want you to play too!” he commented. This strategy aims to not only increase the game’s visibility but also prepare players for its highly anticipated launch.
The Christmas deals have arrived on Steam, and so you don’t miss anything, we provide you with a summary of the best ones that you should definitely consider.
With Christmas comes the parties, the celebrations, and the holidays. Some people like them and some people despise them, but they are inevitable. Whether we like them or not, they are something we have to go through. Similarly, there is something that Christmas brings us that no one dislikes: the Steam winter sales. This year, like every year, they bring us a tempting selection of games to choose from.
But it is very likely that you have started browsing the page and do not know what to choose. There are many things and sometimes it is difficult to know what is a good deal and what is not. Or even which games are worth it. But you don’t have to worry. That’s what we’re here for. To guide you on which offers are the ones you shouldn’t miss for anything in the world.
In addition to being one of the best games of the year, celebrated almost unanimously, it is a game that has not yet had any offers. Until now. If it has won the game of the year title at the Games Awards it is for a good reason, and that’s why, if you haven’t bought it yet, now is a good time. Although its 10% discount is, by all means, extremely discreet, we do not expect to see a discount of at least 25% on this game until, at least, next summer. So it’s not a bad idea to take advantage of the Christmas excuse to get the game of the year.
Although it has been accompanied by controversy as to whether it should be considered indie when it has a multinational behind it, the fact that it is technically not an indie does not take away from it being an extraordinarily charming game. Funny, agile, and with a lot of personality, Dave The Diver is one of the most likable games of the year, taking the concept of fishing much further than we might think at first. Especially because it constantly changes mechanics. With a 20% discount, normally costing 20 euros, there is no reason not to give it a try.
There is only one Doom and a sequel to the game can only aspire to keep the spirit of the original by doing something different. That’s what Doom Eternal does. Very fast, very furious, it turns the concept of the arena and the need to use the precise weapon at the right moment into an art that makes this game a choreography of explosions, guts, and bullets. With very few dark spots, basically some questionable platforms and some midbosses that break the flow of the game, this is the best shooter you can play that is not the original Doom.
You may want a very long game. One that you can spend endless hours on. And you’re already tired of Fallout 4 and Skyrim, which you’ve already played inside out. Well, we have the perfect alternative for you. You can play Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen. An RPG in the western style with a certain aroma of JRPG in its cinematics and how it approaches certain aesthetic elements, but reminiscent of the classics of the genre. Plus, with its second installment announced for February, it’s the perfect preparation. And it promises endless hours for a really ridiculous amount of money.
Now that GTAVI has been announced, it’s the perfect time to play GTAV. We are aware that it’s a lot to assume that you don’t have GTAV, but it’s perfectly possible that there is still some human being on planet Earth who doesn’t have GTAV. Or even worse. It could be someone you know! Maybe it’s someone you would like to give a gift to. And could you make them happier than by giving them the fifth installment of GTA to accompany you in your excitement for the announcement of the sixth installment? We believe not.
Inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion and Silent Hill, this horror and science fiction game is one of the best indie games of last year. If not the best indie game of last year. Or the best indie game, in general. Now with a 30% discount, we can only recommend one thing: buy it. If you are a fan of any of the things we mentioned, or if you watch the trailer and are attracted to what you see, go for it. You won’t regret it.
Although it was released full of bugs, STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor is a game that has been improving over time. Now it is a game that improves everything compared to its predecessor, offering a richer story, deeper gameplay, and spectacular graphics without the issues it had in its PC version release. If we add to that the fact that you can get it at half price, it seems like it’s time to get a game that we should reconsider if it was worth it.
A murder has been committed and your duty is to discover how it happened. This detective game exposes you to bizarre and tremendously complex situations where your tools are always the same: texts of all kinds where there are gaps that you will have to fill in with the names, dates, places, and objects that you find at the crime scene. In this way, you will have to tell a coherent story with what happened, deducing what happened at the scene. An extraordinary game that you shouldn’t miss.
Two of the best indie games of the year are going to have a joint collaboration, adding more Lovecraftnian elements to the nicest of them
If I had received a cent every time an unexpectedly successful fishing-themed video game was released in 2023, I’d have two cents, which isn’t much, but it’s surprising that it happened twice. But the reality is, indeed, two of the big indie games this year share this theme. Focusing on the dangers of the sea, the joys of fishing, and each highlighting very different aspects of both extremes, Dave the Diver and Dredge stand as two of the standout games of the year.
Now, even though it’s true that both games have been successful, they haven’t intersected in any way so far. And it’s important to emphasize “so far.” Because before the year ends, both indies are going to collide to offer a new experience where they will meet in a free DLC.
Named Dave the Diver x Dredge, this free update for Dave the Diver offers us, in the words of Mintrocket, “to explore new depths and discover exclusive content from the fantastic world of Dredge.” Giving us the possibility to encounter the characters and fish some of the fishes—and what necessarily aren’t fishes—from Dredge, this update will bring the sinister Lovecraftian world of Black Salt Games into the friendlier world of Dave the Diver.
This update will arrive before the year ends because it will be released next Friday, December 15, for both the Switch and PC versions of Dive the Driver, completely free of charge.
Whether this crossover will have any kind of counterpart in Dredge is something we don’t know right now. However, Dredge has its first DLC available, The Pale Reach, which invites us to delve into a new icy archipelago where new horrors and environmental challenges await us in an even more dangerous sea than we’ve visited so far. But we wouldn’t turn down the idea if, in the future, a Dredge x Dave the Diver were to arrive as well.
