The Big Catch (PC – 2025)
Part fishing adventure, part throwback 3D platformer. Explore a sun-scorched desert as Caster, a fisher-for-hire with a mystery to uncover and a rod that doubles as a tool and weapon. Expect slick movement, bizarre errands, and secrets hidden beneath the sand in this brand-new playable demo.
Moonlight Peaks (PC – 2026)
Live your best undead life in a supernatural town filled with vampires, werewolves, and magical crops. As Dracula’s grown-up child, you’ll need to prove that even the undead can live with compassion. Design your vampire lair, build relationships, and explore the moonlit world in this cozy-gothic life sim’s first-ever hands-on demo.
NARUTO Emblem Battle (Arcade – Released)
Drop by Booth #16102 for free play on NARUTO Emblem Battle, a collectible arcade fighter featuring massive screens and intense ninja battles. Use physical Emblems to build teams and engage in flashy, strategic combat featuring classic characters and lines from the anime.
