Whether you’re into haunting narratives, creative world-building, or cutting-edge action, PC Gaming Show 2025 had something for every kind of PC player. Below, we’ve rounded up all the major announcements, trailers, and standout moments from this year’s showcase.

Ambrosia Sky

Soft Rains’ Ambrosia Sky kicked off the PC Gaming Show 2025 with a haunting, artistic take on sci-fi storytelling. Set in a futuristic world teetering on the brink of extinction, this “clean-’em-up” adventure game places players in the middle of humanity’s struggle to survive a deteriorating environment. The debut trailer hinted at emotional depth, combining environmental restoration mechanics with narrative-driven gameplay that appears to mirror humanity’s internal decay. Rather than shooting enemies, players clean, restore, and perhaps even revive hope in a world turned sterile. With its visually distinct, melancholy tone and cerebral approach to science fiction, Ambrosia Sky introduces a unique blend of gameplay and storytelling. The term “clean-’em-up” might seem odd, but it cleverly encapsulates the game’s mission—purging a dying world of its rot. This premiere firmly established Ambrosia Sky as an intriguing standout, bringing thought-provoking depth and originality to the PC Gaming Show’s opening moments.

Terminull Brigade

Terminull Brigade, the action-roguelike from Pew Pew Games, lit up the PC Gaming Show 2025 with its adrenaline-charged gameplay and vibrant, neon-soaked aesthetic. Players take on the role of “Rogueteers,” futuristic warriors battling across the Nullverse; either solo or with friends in high-energy co-op sessions. The showcase featured acrobatic combat, twin-pistol gunplay, sword clashes, and high-speed arena battles against massive mechs and lightning-powered foes. The trailer also hinted at diverse environments, including a gritty desert setting and tech-laden arenas. Key mechanics include an upgrade tree for customizing abilities and a store system for purchasing powerful weapons. With its frenetic pace and striking visuals, Terminull Brigade aims to deliver stylish chaos, merging intense roguelike mechanics with a strong team-based core. It promises fast-paced synergy-driven combat and a rewarding progression system for players who enjoy both solo runs and chaotic co-op destruction. Fans of kinetic shooters and stylish sci-fi action should keep a close eye on this.

Enginefall

Red Rover Interactive’s Enginefall made a raucous debut at the PC Gaming Show 2025, introducing a unique multiplayer sandbox FPS that blends high-stakes combat with sandbox exploration and management. Set aboard a massive, customizable train barreling through a lawless wasteland, players must secure control, gather resources, and outsmart enemies in unpredictable heist-like scenarios. The trailer showcased chaotic, team-based firefights as players screamed commands, executed daring plans, and fought to gain control over the mobile fortress. Once secured, the train becomes a mobile hub, complete with passenger management and rare material harvesting. Interesting mechanics include escape pods, cryosleep for dodging danger, and open-ended survival strategies. Enginefall invites players to build, defend, and lead their own locomotive society through a harsh and unpredictable world. With a strong emphasis on emergent gameplay, player freedom, and absurdly fun chaos, Enginefall stands out as a bold new FPS sandbox that fuses mayhem, management, and multiplayer creativity.

Dawn Apart

Dawn Apart is a factory-building simulator set on an alien planet, developed by Industrial Technology and Witchcraft. Shown off during the PC Gaming Show 2025, this sci-fi colony sim blends industrial growth with action-packed conflict. Players are tasked with building up colonies, creating factories and living quarters, while also fending off attacks from hostile native populations. The trailer showcased blocky builders working tirelessly, even during a bathroom break, as the colony expanded and profits rolled in. However, peace is quickly disrupted by aggressive native resistance, who also come armed and prepared for raids. The result is a blend of efficient factory simulation and chaotic defensive gunplay. With its unique mix of industrial management and real-time action, Dawn Apart challenges players to balance expansion with survival. It’s an intriguing mix of creativity and destruction, bringing the complexity of economic strategy games into a hostile sci-fi setting full of surprises and threats.

The Alters

The Alters is a gripping sci-fi narrative adventure from 11 bit studios, spotlighted during the PC Gaming Show 2025. The game follows Jan Dolski, a lone astronaut who crash lands on a desolate planet and desperately seeks a way to survive and escape. His solution? Clone himself. However, as seen in the haunting trailer, creating alternate versions of oneself doesn’t exactly lead to peace of mind. Jan begins the game in despair, even contemplating giving up, but things spiral as his clones, each embodying different versions of himself, roam the rocky, inhospitable terrain. These “alters” serve not only as gameplay mechanics but as emotional and psychological challenges. The game emphasizes survival, exploration, and internal conflict, pushing players to confront the consequences of splitting their identity. With its emotionally rich narrative, mysterious world, and deep philosophical undertones, The Alters promises a tense, story-driven experience full of tough decisions and haunting encounters with the self.

Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults

Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults brings the iconic tabletop universe into an action-packed, co-op hack-and-slash ARPG, developed by BKOM Studios. Revealed during the PC Gaming Show 2025, the game thrusts players into the dark depths beneath Gauntlet Keep to confront the sinister sorceress Belcorra Hauuvex. Players can choose from four well-known Pathfinder heroes: Amiri the Barbarian, Harsk the Ranger, Kyra the Cleric, and Ezren the Wizard as they fight through massive enemy hordes, giant spiders, and dangerous dungeon traps. Combat is fast-paced and strategic, offering loot-filled treasure chests and deep character customization. The visuals capture the moody, torch-lit atmosphere of classic dungeons, enhancing the immersive fantasy experience. For fans of Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous, this title retains familiar lore while shifting into co-op action. Pathfinder: Abomination Vaults aims to satisfy fans of both traditional RPGs and action-heavy dungeon crawlers, merging deep fantasy storytelling with adrenaline-fueled cooperative gameplay.

Barotrauma: Home & Harbor Expansion

Barotrauma’s eerie underwater journey continues with the Home & Harbor expansion, coming in 2026 from developers FakeFish and Undertow Games. Debuted at the PC Gaming Show 2025, the expansion adds depth both narratively and mechanically to the original co-op submarine simulator. The haunting trailer stitched together painterly scenes, depicting odd yet human moments: conversations at a bar, surgical modifications like neural implants, farming on the ocean floor, and a chilling encounter with a laser-armed tardigrade-like creature. These vignettes hint at an expanded world where survival and mystery go hand in hand. The DLC promises more lore, detailed life aboard the sub, and new threats outside it. Players will manage the home life of their crewmates as intensely as their missions, deepening the social and survival elements. Home & Harbor looks to evolve Barotrauma’s claustrophobic tension into something even more compelling—balancing camaraderie, madness, and the deadly unknown lurking in Europa’s alien depths.

No More Room in Hell 2

No More Room in Hell 2, developed by Torn Banner Studios, is the intense eight-player co-op action horror sequel that continues to pit survivors against endless undead terror. Revealed at the PC Gaming Show 2025, the update teased new content coming soon, including a map titled “Broadway,” designed to bring cinematic zombie carnage to New York-style streets. The game is also adding a tutorial gym to help players hone survival tactics, individual extraction features for solo play, and character customization tools. The original’s gritty atmosphere returns with revamped visuals, heavier focus on teamwork, and the desperate struggle to escape rather than just survive. The addition of a gym suggests more skill-based mechanics, and the map design hints at narrative-heavy, urban horror. No More Room in Hell 2 builds on the cult classic’s legacy, promising high-stakes zombie action, strategic cooperation, and an ever-escalating sense of dread in its richly infected world.

The Last Caretaker

The Last Caretaker is a unique first-person survival shooter developed by Channel37 Ltd., placing players in the metallic shoes of a robotic caretaker tasked with rebuilding a post-cataclysmic world. Debuted during the PC Gaming Show 2025, the game introduces a compelling narrative through an in-universe instructional video. Players control a caretaker robot whose mission is to maintain a cryogenic facility, safeguard its infrastructure, and oversee the development and launch of human embryos into space. This blend of nurturing simulation and defensive combat mechanics adds a rare emotional depth to the survival shooter genre. You’ll manage the facility’s daily operations, defend against threats, and ensure humanity’s continuity in space, all while exploring the remnants of a destroyed Earth. The Last Caretaker promises a touching, futuristic tale of duty and hope, as your mechanical protagonist becomes humanity’s last lifeline. It’s a game about survival, legacy, and purpose wrapped in a distinctly sci-fi framework.

007: First Light

007: First Light is the highly anticipated James Bond origin story from IO Interactive, the creators of the Hitman franchise. Unveiled during the PC Gaming Show 2025, this title takes a bold approach by presenting a young, pre-iconic James Bond. As explained by Narrative and Cinematic Director Martin Emborg, the game avoids piecing together past portrayals and instead crafts a wholly original Bond. He’s energetic, impulsive, and charming—but not yet the cold, seasoned spy we know. Set in a fresh narrative world, players will see Bond as a raw recruit, with his signature wit and charisma intact but unrefined. IO Interactive’s choice to ground Bond in youthful imperfection creates exciting opportunities for character growth and dynamic storytelling. With its rich storytelling pedigree and immersive spy mechanics, 007: First Light aims to redefine Bond’s gaming presence with originality and emotional depth, introducing fans to the secret agent before he became a legend.

EverSiege: Untold Ages

EverSiege: Untold Ages is an action-strategy co-op game from Tindalos Interactive that challenges players to reclaim humanity’s future from within its last stronghold: Bastion. Showcased at the PC Gaming Show 2025, the game unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world where shielded cities offered safety—but at the cost of freedom. Bastion represents the last haven, yet also a gilded cage. Players step in as agents of change, venturing beyond Bastion’s protective barriers to rebuild civilization and dismantle the oppressive EverSiege. The game supports up to three-player co-op, emphasizing teamwork in combat and strategy as players explore hostile environments, gather resources, and lead humanity’s liberation. Blending intense action with base-building and tactical decisions, EverSiege stands out as a gripping mix of gameplay genres. Its narrative roots in resistance and renewal, combined with its gritty visuals and cooperative mechanics, position it as a standout in the modern strategy-action hybrid landscape.

FBC: Firebreak

FBC: Firebreak is a team-based first-person shooter set in the paranormal universe of Control, making its explosive debut at the PC Gaming Show 2025. The game invites players to join a specialized unit called Firebreak at the heart of a catastrophic climax within the Oldest House. Styled like a recruitment video, the trailer sets the tone for gritty, cooperative gameplay where your role goes beyond mere combat—you’re also expected to repair, survive, and protect your squad. “If you can hold a gun and use a tool, Firebreak needs you,” the narrator bluntly states. The game leans into team dynamics, emphasizing collaboration, shared hardship, and tactical ingenuity. With a dark sci-fi aesthetic and the surreal, shifting environment of Control, Firebreak offers both fast-paced gunplay and eerie, narrative-rich immersion. Whether you’re fighting extradimensional threats or fixing arcane machinery, FBC: Firebreak redefines what it means to be a frontline worker in a world unraveling.

Due in July, this updated version retains the core mechanics of the original game, including its use of the 3.5 edition D&D ruleset and setting in the iconic Forgotten Realms. Fans of the Baldur’s Gate series will feel right at home, as Neverwinter Nights 2 delivers another epic fantasy journey filled with magic, mystery, and dungeon-crawling. The Enhanced Edition is expected to feature quality-of-life improvements, updated visuals, and compatibility upgrades for modern systems, while staying true to its strategic turn-based combat and branching narrative.

Players control a rebellious young prince as he parkours through deadly environments, slices through enemies, and battles formidable bosses in a fast-paced, procedurally generated world.

Every run offers new layouts, enemy placements, and combat strategies, keeping the experience fresh and demanding.

It’s a love letter to both combat-focused dungeon crawlers and life sims, delivering the best of both worlds with seamless charm.

Baby Steps

Baby Steps, revealed again at the PC Gaming Show 2025, is the latest offbeat adventure from Bennett Foddy, the mind behind QWOP and Getting Over It. True to form, this physics-based walking simulator is anything but straightforward. You play as Nate, an unemployed “failson” unexpectedly transported to a mysterious world, where he must learn the arcane art of… walking. Yes, literally walking one awkward, hilarious step at a time. The game embraces its absurdity, turning mundane locomotion into a comedy of errors that challenges players’ coordination and patience. Every footstep is a puzzle, and terrain can be both your playground and your downfall. With a September 8 release date and a Steam demo already available, Baby Steps is poised to be another viral sensation, equal parts frustrating and funny. It’s the opposite of a power fantasy—deliberately clumsy and delightfully weird, delivering laughs with every wobble and tumble.
