Agent 64: Spies Never Die Launches August 2026, GoldenEye Finally Lives Again

Five years after a quiet start and a notable showing at PC Gaming Show 2022, Agent 64: Spies Never Die finally has a release date: August 2026 on PC. Behind this solo project from Replicant D6 lies the ambition to resurrect the GoldenEye 007 formula on N64—a first-person corridor shooter no one has truly replicated since. The stakes are twofold: satisfy a specific nostalgia and prove a solo developer can deliver on such a heavy promise.

Too Soon just hit Steam's "upcoming" pages. The game intrigues immediately with its subject matter: grief, loss, and how we attempt to put words to what resists language.

Luna Abyss and Halo: When an Indie Rediscovers the Art of Making You Feel Tiny

Luna Abyss isn't an FPS, doesn't resemble Halo, and probably never tried to. Yet something in its spatial construction awakens a lost sensation from Halo: Combat Evolved—the feeling of being fragile in a world that didn't wait for you.
