Epic Games 2022 Summer Showcase

• Spring 2023
• Epic Games Store PC Exclusive

I’m not usually a fan of Lord of the Rings-inspired games, they take too many liberties with the setting or just end up being all about fighting. But Return to Moria looks totally radical. There's something great about taking inspiration from the setting but staying away from the main story. This is a LotR- adjacent tale, and that makes it something unique in the landscape of LotR games.

The only survival crafting game set in the Fourth Age of Middle-earth™, the iconic fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria follows the Dwarves as they embark on a new adventure to reclaim their legendary home of Moria beneath the Misty Mountains. Players will join forces to survive, craft, build and explore the iconic, sprawling mines. Courageous expeditioners will need to be vigilant as mysterious dangers await.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is a fun, multiplayer game perfect for all skill levels. Four proton pack wielding Ghostbusters attempt to catch a Ghost haunting unique locations in asymmetrical multiplayer battles (online or offline). As players progress, they will unlock cosmetics and upgrades for both Ghostbusters and Ghosts to evolve their gameplay experiences. The look and feel will deliver to fans an immersive experience in the universe, allowing them to play out their Ghostbusting fantasies. Whether hunting or haunting, the game is easy to learn and fun to master!

• Early 2023

Okay, I honestly don’t get deeply excited for new game releases that often, partly because we’re so often just looking at rehashes of the same old theme. Tchia is something unique and, I think, likely: something wonderful. This jumped to the top of my list as soon as I saw it, and I knew that I needed to add it to my wishlist right away.

This game features indigenous locations and characters, with native languages from the real-world island of New Caledonia. This clearly looks like a heartfelt game, but also one that is likely to be insanely fun to play, and I cannot wait for it to be released.

A Tropical Open-World adventure. Climb, glide, swim, and sail your boat around a beautiful archipelago in this physics-driven sandbox. Take control of any animal or object you can find, and Jam on your fully playable Ukulele. A game inspired by New Caledonia.

The world of Tchia was inspired by New Caledonia, A tiny island in the Pacific Ocean, homeland of Awaceb's co-founders. Inspiration was taken from the rich and varied local landscapes, cultures, music, languages, folklores and traditions and was used to create a fictional world and to tell a universal story that anyone can understand and enjoy. The characters are voiced by local talent in traditional languages, and subtitled in many languages including English, French, Russian, Chinese, German, and more.

Have you ever wanted to be a titanic monster, beating up other titanic monsters (and destroying the city while you’re at it?). Well, now you can! Or, if you really want to get your Kaiju-hunter going, strap into a monster-fighting mech the size of a skyscraper and mop the city streets with the blood of those abominations!

After centuries spent slumbering in the bowels of the earth, the primordial beasts known as Titans have awoken. Now they must battle humanity - and one another - for total world dominance.

GigaBash combines the chaos and creativity of titles like Power Stone, Super Smash Bros Ultimate and War of Monsters with the jaw-dropping scale of the classic kaiju movies.

Play as either a rampaging Titan or a Titan-hunting mecha; summon lightning from the heavens, use a radio tower as a baton, or roll a whole district (and your enemies) into a single massive snowball. Wreak enough havoc and you'll evolve into your final form, the terrifyingly titanic S-Class.

This actually looks wonderfully hilarious. A classic-vibe action game with a new comedic twist.

RAWMEN is an outrageous multiplayer battler that cooks up a refreshingly tasty take on the arena shooter. Dine solo or call on your broth buds to feast as a party of up to four in food-based fighting across locales around the world.
