Ixion

A world-exclusive reveal, Ixion is a space strategy game from Kasedo Games and Bulwark. Not much else was really shown, but the trailer intrigues us, with the plot being focused on managing a space station while searching for a new home. Strong Interstellar vibes.

A mysterious trailer for Warhammer Chaos Gate was next. Just don't tell the main guy from that Final Fantasy Origin reveal, he hates Chaos.

Pioner

Russian-language nuclear zombie shooters, name a more iconic genre. Pioner is another, but we have to say it looks good at least.
