Reanimal
- February 13
- Unreal Engine 5
- PS5, Xbox, PC, and Switch 2
As it has already been dubbed online, this is the real Little Nightmares 3, created by the original’s developers.

REANIMAL is a cooperative horror game about a brother and sister who are orphans. They find themselves in a nightmarish version of their own home, which is located on a hostile island. To rescue their missing friends, the heroes must explore a frightening world, solve puzzles, and escape terrifying monsters.
REANIMAL stands out with its claustrophobic atmosphere and psychedelic environment. Even a simple walk around the location can turn into a game of hide-and-seek with nightmarish creatures. The plot gradually reveals what happened to this world and why it became so hostile. You can play online, on one device, or alone (in which case the second character is controlled by AI). If you or a friend has a copy of the game, neither of you will need to buy a second copy to play cooperatively.

The long-awaited sequel to Capcom’s cult saga, Resident Evil: Requiem, transports us to a world 30 years after the tragic destruction of Raccoon City. The plot masterfully intertwines the fates of two very different heroes, offering players a unique, dual-persona gaming experience.
The story begins with Grace Ashcroft, a young FBI technical analyst who finds herself trapped in a gloomy, creature-infested hotel. Playing as Grace, the game offers a pure psychological horror experience from a first-person perspective. Every rustle will make you shudder, and the scarcity of resources will force you to rely on stealth and analytical thinking. However, as the plot develops, legendary agent Leon S. Kennedy enters the fray. With his arrival, the perspective shifts to a classic third-person view, and the gameplay turns sharply toward dynamic, intense action. Leon uses his years of experience fighting biohazards to battle hordes of monsters and unravel the secrets connecting this place to the past. Thanks to the RE Engine, the developers have struck the perfect balance between chilling stealth horror and large-scale shootouts. This makes the game a true “Requiem,” combining the series’ classic traditions with modern gameplay mechanics.
