What were the biggest reveals at the Triple-i Initiative Showcase?
The 2026 Triple-i Initiative Showcase featured 40 announcements, headlined by the reveal of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse and Don’t Starve Elsewhere.
Other major highlights included the survival-focused Temtem: Pioneers, the sequel Graveyard Keeper 2, and the supernatural Soulslike Valor Mortis, alongside several surprise shadow-drops like the CloverPit DLC and the typing-horror Final Sentence.
Heavy Hitters You Need on Your Radar
The following titles stole the show with brand-new gameplay and release windows that suggest 2026 will be a landmark year for indie fans.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse
This direct sequel to Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is being handled by the masters at Evil Empire and Motion Twin. It takes the classic 2D Metroidvania formula and injects the fluid combat seen in Dead Cells.
The trailer showed a young Belmont navigating a corrupted version of Paris. We watched him battle legends like Joan of Arc. It’s slated for a 2026 release.
Temtem: Pioneers
Developer Crema is pivoting the Temtem series toward the survival-crafting genre. Think Palworld but with the polished monster designs and world-building of the original MMO.
It features real-time combat and base-building in a new region called the Downbelow. You can jump into their Kickstarter campaign today to help fund development.
Don’t Starve Elsewhere
Klei Entertainment surprised everyone with the next chapter of the Don’t Starve series. It maintains the signature art style but introduces dynamic environmental dangers that shift depending on your base.
Expect the same uncompromising survival mechanics that made the original a hit. The team confirmed it will support co-op at launch, though a release window remains TBA.
Prove You’re Human
From the creators of 1000xResist comes a psychological horror game that feels incredibly timely. You play as a human who must convince a delusional AI that it isn’t a person.
The trailer features surreal CAPTCHA-solving sequences mixed with first-person exploration. It’s published by the same team behind Slay the Princess, so prepare for a narrative that messes with your head.
Graveyard Keeper 2
The “most inaccurate medieval cemetery sim” returns. This sequel expands the original formula by letting you manage an entire zombie-infested town.
You’ll automate production and lead undead expeditions to reclaim ruins. To celebrate, the original Graveyard Keeper is currently free on most platforms for a limited time.
Also learn how you can get the first Graveyard Keeper for free on your favourite platform!
Valor Mortis
The team behind Ghostrunner is taking on the Soulslike genre. Valor Mortis is a first-person action game set during a supernatural reimagining of the Napoleonic Wars.
You play as a resurrected soldier using flintlocks, sabers, and otherworldly powers. It’s targeting a Fall 2026 release date for PC and current-gen consoles.
