The post Everything Announced at Nacon Connect March 2025 first appeared on IndieGames.

While the full program details have yet to be officially revealed, Nacon Connect is expected to bring updates on several highly anticipated titles. Among them is HELL is US, an action-adventure game set in a semi-open world, as well as Edge of Memories, a new RPG from Midgar Studio considered the spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed Edge of Eternity.

Additionally, significant attention will be given to Ravenswatch, a roguelike game inspired by dark fairy tales, which may receive a new gameplay trailer or update. One particularly intriguing question is whether there will be new information about Terminator: Survivors, an open-world survival game set in the Terminator universe. The game was previously delayed from its planned October 2024 release to 2025.

In recent financial reports, Nacon hinted that they expect for Nintendo Switch 2 to launch between April and September 2025. Given that Nacon plans to release around 10 new games in the first half of its fiscal year, some of these titles might be aimed at Nintendo’s next-generation console. Although no specific games have been officially confirmed, Nacon Connect could provide the first hints.

As in previous years, Nacon has also teased several “secret projects” that may be unveiled during the stream. Community speculation suggests the possibility of a sequel to the successful RoboCop: Rogue City or new updates on Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Given Nacon’s focus on mid-budget game development, some unexpected reveals could also be in store.

The game pays homage to this genre, revealing an original dark fantasy world where the character classes are mutant hybrids between dragons and humans. Players can face challenges alone or in co-op mode with up to four players, following the story and battling powerful dragons to free the world from their domination.

We will play as Barbarian, Witch, Knight and Archer, and each of the heroes has developed fighting techniques to fight dragons. As you progress through the game, you can develop and improve your character, equipment, dragon, and Ancestral Grid. The innovative Ancestral Grid mechanic further enhances your character. Win loot in the form of abilities and place them within the grid with a variety of modifiers. Then adjust the arrangement of these elements to shape your own fighting style and become even more powerful. Each hero has its own grid with endless combinations of abilities and modifiers.

In the very heart of the mountains lies a large city and a fortress of humanity. This city is constantly growing and changing according to your decisions and discoveries. During your adventure, you have the opportunity to choose which area of development to pay attention to, upgrade your buildings, find new residents, equipment and additional services. All heroes in your city can actively participate in its development and contribute to unlocking new content.

If you're into all things zombie, then ParadiZe might just be what you're looking for. In the beautiful land of ParadiZe, resourceful survivors test the technology used to control zombies. When hacked, they become invaluable allies, although they are not always that smart and sometimes quite unstable.

After arriving, you must build your camp, a cozy little nest that you can gradually upgrade. Comfort is important, but don't forget to set up a defense as well. Add more traps and forts to fend off the zombies, who have a bad habit of never leaving you alone. Running a camp requires effort, but if you don't like that kind of work, don't worry, as we mentioned before, zombies do all the dirty work here.

First impressions of this game are mostly positive. The game currently sits at 70% positive reviews, with 45 reviews being negative out of a total of 180 user ratings. The excellent sense of humor and satisfying combat and crafting systems stand out positively, but players find a major objection to the technical aspects of the game, including a large number of bugs and frequent ejections.
