All Game Reveals at the 2023 Humble Games Showcase
Wizard of Legend is Getting a Sequel
Wizard of Legend, the critically-acclaimed action roguelike from the team at Contingent99, is getting a follow-up title! The sequel will be helmed by Dead Mage, best known for creating Children of Morta, with the original team taking a consulting role on the game. The upcoming game promises that classic feel alongside an upgrade to 3D visuals and a four-player co-op. Wizard of Legend 2 is still fairly early in development, though more details surrounding a release date and platforms can be expected in the future.
Bossa Studios Announces New Title Lost Skies
Bossa Studios, known for games like Surgeon Simulator and I Am Fish, is delving into a new genre with Lost Skies, a co-op open-world survival crafting game for up to six players. The title sees you and your friends build up a skyship as you explore floating islands filled with all sorts of ruins of a lost age. These ruins hold valuable treasures and even greater threats. Like Wizard of Legend 2, the game is also fairly early in development but already holds a ton of promise.
#BLUD Mixes Classic Cartoon Visuals With Bloody Combat
Have you ever watched some of the classic Nickelodeon cartoons and thought, “I wish there was more carnage”? If so, then #BLUD is just for you.

As it stands, #BLUD will release exclusively for PC in 2024.
Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus Blends Hollow Knight and Japanese Folklore

Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus is set to blossom on PC in 2024.
Breeze in the Clouds Sees an Adorable Corgi Fight Against Polluting Foes
If you told me we were going to get a game about a corgi fighting against hostile animals that want to pollute the world, I would’ve called you crazy. Yet here we are, and dang, is it ever cute. As Breeze, you’ll control the force of weather itself as you stop your enemies from bringing the world to ruin, all while working to save your best friend Diana. Breeze in the Clouds has no confirmed release window or platform, though follow the team at Stormy Nights Interactive for more information.
Cataclismo Merges Fortress Building an RTS in a Beautifully Strategic Soup
Were you a fan of either Moonlighter or The Mageseeker? Then you’ll be happy to hear that the team at Digital Sun is showing no sign of stopping, with their next game Cataclismo being one of their most ambitious yet. In Cataclismo, you’ll control your survivors as they fend off hordes of monsters while building up your fort and creating defenses toward the impending doom. All of this, while bringing a mostly ruined world back from the brink of extinction. No release window or platforms have been specified, but we’re excited nonetheless.
