‘Routine’ (2025)

Lunar Software and Raw Fury finally deliver the sci-fi horror title ‘Routine’ on December 4. The game is set on an abandoned lunar base that was designed with a distinct 1980s vision of the future.

The game features a vibrant art style and an original soundtrack that drives the emotional story forward.

‘Mutant Football League 2’ (2025)

Digital Dreams Entertainment returns to the gridiron with ‘Mutant Football League 2’ on December 10.

It offers a chaotic and humorous alternative to traditional sports simulations.
