Nacon Connect 2026: Every Game Announced at the Showcase

Nacon held its seventh annual gaming showcase on May 7, 2026, and it did not hold back. Over 12 games were featured across the stream, with three brand-new titles unveiled for the first time. Here is a breakdown of everything announced.

The Big New Reveals

The splashiest debut was Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish, a first-person action-RPG set inside the World of Darkness universe. It drops you into a near-future New York City overrun by supernatural threats, with players taking on the role of a Hunter — a mortal who knows monsters are real and decided to do something about it. No release window was given, but the reveal trailer showed off a gritty, atmospheric world that fans of the tabletop IP will want to keep on their radar.

Also new: Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Rageborn, a top-down metroidvania that puts you in the paws of a Garou fighting to protect the natural world. This one is targeting a 2027 release, and the art direction looks significantly more polished than Nacon’s previous World of Darkness adaptations.

Rounding out the fresh reveals was The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, a cooperative horror game from ACE Team — the studio behind Zeno Clash and Rock of Ages. It is launching July 15, 2026, and centers on a group of investigators confronting cosmic horror in a small American town. Co-op is front and center, which should give it a strong multiplayer hook.

Notable Updates on Existing Games

Hell is Us got a big platform announcement: it is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on September 24, 2026. The action-adventure exploration game has been building quiet anticipation since its first reveal, and Switch 2 support significantly expands its potential audience.

Tour de France 2026 was shown with a new dynamic weather system that actually impacts race strategy — not just aesthetics. It launches June 4, and for cycling sim fans, this looks like the most substantial year-over-year upgrade the series has seen in a while.

Hardware: The Revo Range Controllers

On the hardware side, Nacon announced the Revo Range — a new lineup of controllers built around Hall Effect thumbsticks and fully programmable buttons. Hall Effect is becoming the standard expectation for premium controllers in 2026, so it is good to see Nacon adopting it across their lineup. Pricing was not confirmed at the show.

The Takeaway

Nacon’s showcase does not generate the same hype as a Nintendo Direct or a PlayStation State of Play, but it consistently delivers for fans of niche genres — action-RPGs, sports sims, and tabletop adaptations. The World of Darkness reveals in particular are shaping up to be two of the more interesting licensed games on the horizon. Keep an eye on Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish specifically; if Nacon gets the tone right, it could be something special.
