Tenebris Somnia
We’ve eagerly awaited this horror game from Argentina for several years, and with each glimpse, it looks more impressive. It’s a 2D survival horror with pixelated graphics that incorporates live-action scenes filmed with real actors.
It is scheduled for release in the last quarter of 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

Bulbo’s Belief System
In this peculiar game, you control a lightbulb-shaped character who must solve puzzles by only knowing four things at a time. What you don’t know can be as helpful as what you do know; for instance, if you’re unaware of gravity, it doesn’t affect you. It bears a resemblance to Baba is You and is being developed in Chile.
It will be released for PC on Steam in November 2026.

Colorbound
The concept of using colors to alter the world and solve puzzles struck the Panpipe studio in Chile during a game jam. The idea was so strong that they decided to build a full game around it. By changing the color of the environments, players can discover hidden paths, make obstacles disappear, and overcome various challenges to complete each level.
It is slated for release in August 2026 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

It will be released for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on a date yet to be announced.
Ghostless
In this 2D action-adventure game, you won’t just battle an evil AI in a post-apocalyptic world inspired by Terminator. You’ll also need to recruit survivors for your guerrilla force and be cautious, as not everyone you encounter is human. Recruiting the wrong person could lead to dealing with infiltrators. It is being developed in Brazil.
It is scheduled for release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on a date yet to be announced.
