I’m excited to dive into a new lineup of upcoming games that are either verified or playable on the platform. Let me walk you through some of these titles.
Launching on August 15th, 2024, this fully verified game immerses you in a breathtaking world where your choices shape the story. You’ll guide four unlikely heroes through lush forests, vast plains, and scorching deserts as they seek vengeance against the notorious Red Company gang. Along the way, you’ll battle warriors from different nations, fend off greedy colonizers, and slay monstrous creatures. The combination of an enchanted land, engaging narrative, and dynamic combat promises an unforgettable adventure.
Next up is Blueprints, a mysterious game marked as playable on the Steam Deck, though its release date is yet to be announced. In Blueprints, you enter Mount Holly, a mansion with ever-shifting rooms where each door leads to a new adventure. You have the power to decide what room appears behind each door, allowing you to craft your unique path through the mansion. However, the layout changes daily, turning yesterday’s safe passage into today’s trap. This game challenges your strategic thinking and adaptability, ensuring each playthrough feels fresh and unpredictable.
For fans of classic arcade beat ‘em ups, G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra is one to watch. Though it’s still coming soon for the Steam Deck, it promises intense action as you face off against Cobra’s infamous villains, including Destro, Serpentor, Baroness, and Cobra Commander. You can choose your combat style, whether it’s unleashing devastating combos up close or keeping your enemies at bay with a variety of powerful weapons. This modern take on the classic genre is sure to appeal to both new players and longtime G.I. Joe fans.
If psychological horror is more your style, Edge of Sanity is a must-play. With verified Steam Deck status and a release set for soon, this game plunges you into the unforgiving wilderness of Alaska, where you’ll face nightmarish creatures and unravel dark mysteries. Featuring handcrafted 2D art and an intense atmosphere, Edge of Sanity will keep you on edge as you struggle to survive and uncover the horrifying truth behind an abandoned lab. The game’s eerie setting and gripping narrative make it a standout in the horror genre.
On October 24th, we’ll see the return of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake, with playable status and packed with features. This game lets you relive the turbulent era of the Three Kingdoms with more than 55 scenarios and the largest roster of officers in the series. The Links Forge system adds depth by allowing relationships between officers to dramatically affect gameplay, making each decision you make even more impactful.
Finally, also arriving on October 24th is Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven, a full remake of the classic RPG.
