Endix Expo returns Nov. 6-8 for its Fall 2026 edition, bringing more than 50 games to a free, fully digital gaming expo. Attendees can explore a virtual show floor as avatars, play demos, and talk with developers over voice chat, all without having to travel to a physical convention. Endix City features several themed spaces, including a rooftop hall, a new Cozy Area, and the horror-focused Theatrum Obscurum.
I attended one day of the Spring Expo in May and plan to return for this edition, which opens in two weeks. I loved how accessible Endix Spring Expo was; it’s as easy to access as watching YouTube on your PC, and I’m excited for this new showcase. The lineup this time includes exclusive trailers, a release date reveal, and some exciting first-time announcements.
Reflecting on Spring Endix Expo
My time at the Spring Expo came down to a single Sunday, and most of it was spent away from the busiest paths. Instead of following a crowd, I wandered off with the adventurous spirit of hunting shinies in an MMO, where every booth turned out to be its own small environment with a look and feel of its own. Avatars were moving through the space, voice chat was active throughout the day, and I took a swing at the Alienware rooftop jump challenge. I didn’t clear it.
The best part of the day was an unexpected find at the Haunted Bloodlines booth. A quick hello to the developers turned into a long conversation that ran well past the time they had planned to stay. That chat later became an interview, and the game’s Steam demo has since been updated; I can’t wait to see what they did with the space this time.
I dove into the Endix Expo Fall 2026 Lineup and found some titles that might make the unbeaten path worth exploring once more.
Worlds to Build: Gateworlds and LocoMo
Gateworlds, from developer Hydrarch, will be on the first floor with an exclusive trailer. It’s a survival colony sim set in a mystical fantasy world, where every villager has their own skills, traits, relationships, and desires. Its description points to Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld as inspiration, which suggests unplanned stories that come from watching a settlement thrive or fall apart on its own. Playtest access can be requested through the Steam page, with notifications sent when more spots open.
In the new Cozy Area, LocoMo, developed by Stephan Hennion with publisher Halfmile Games LLC, takes a gentler route to a similar urge. It is billed as a cozy village builder that mixes the relaxed creativity of Tiny Glade with the system-driven depth of SimCity and Factorio, and it also arrives with an exclusive trailer. I’m curious to see how it comes together, especially alongside Gateworlds. Both games revolve around building something, but they seem to have very different ideas about what makes that process rewarding.
Third Floor Mysteries: Where Dolls Hang and Project ReMind
Where Dolls Hang, from Steelkrill Studio, is a first-person psychological horror game inspired by Mexico’s Island of the Dolls. It will be on the third floor and in the Theatrum Obscurum with an exclusive trailer. Players take the role of a detective investigating missing-person cases, examining bodies, marking evidence, and documenting crime scenes with an in-game camera.
A detail that might draw attention is the inclusion of VHS tapes hidden throughout the world. These play full-length public-domain horror films, including Night of the Living Dead. The game is also being developed by a single person who began work on it in December 2025, making the scope of the project particularly interesting.
Project ReMind, from Red Hog Studio, shares the third floor but takes on a quieter kind of tension. The first-person puzzle adventure follows a scientist who created an artificial consciousness and must reconstruct memories by operating machinery, opening hidden passages, and deciphering cryptic computer logs. It has an original score by Felix Wilson that features a real theremin, and Endix is where its release date will be revealed.
On the Rooftop: Kitman and SoulStream Saga: Chapter 1
Kitman, from the Dublin and Belfast studio Outlier, takes the job simulator to the backrooms of a soccer stadium. Players polish boots, patch jerseys, mop floors, and supply fresh kit on match day. The studio says it can be played solo or in online co-op. A playtest in May drew more than 50,000 sign-ups, a World Cup playtest followed in the summer, and the game is aiming for an early 2027 release. Kitman’s exhibit will be at Rooftop Hall A, and Endix will have an exclusive trailer.
Sharing space with Kitman is a game whose free prologue demo I played earlier in the year: SoulStream Saga: Chapter 1 from AFTER1MAGE 1NTERACTIVE. Its old-school 2D pixel art draws on the SNES and early PlayStation era, but the combat has a few ideas of its own. The shared Active Time Battle system makes timing important, particularly when trying to interrupt an enemy’s spell before it goes off.
I found that knowing when to use abilities and items could make a difference in tougher encounters, and there’s a darker story brewing beneath the nostalgic presentation. The demo had some rough edges, including issues with saving progress, but I still came away interested in seeing how the full story develops. The demo has about an hour’s worth of content to play, and Endix will feature an exclusive trailer. There’s no confirmed release date yet, but I’m curious to see what the team shares next.
Big Names With Even Bigger Spaces
The biggest footprints belong to the publishers who have been here before. THQ Nordic is back for its third Expo with THQ Nordic Island, featuring Titan Quest II, Expeditions: Samurai, Fatekeeper, The Eternal Life of Goldman, and REANIMAL. Titan Quest II even gets its own themed Greek Warrior avatar, giving visitors another way to explore the show floor.
Bohemia Interactive has its own area for Silica and Nailcrown, and 505 Games returns for a third time with Among the Trolls on the third floor. Frozen District joins for the second time in a row with House Flipper 2’s Pets DLC, Forgery Craft, and Dreampainters. Noodlecake Games brings Tiebreakers, Monkey Brain and Harpooner, Playism is on the rooftop with Homura Hime, and Crema’s Temtem: Pioneers sits on the City Mega Stand.
Two other games will be exclusive to Endix, with both kept under wraps for now. Each is billed as a world premiere, which, as far as I know, would be a first for the Expo. Those are worth keeping an eye out for when the show opens.
Sponsors Add to the Fun
Alienware is back for another edition with mini-games for attendees, while Elgato brings its own activation to Endix City. Both help make an event like this possible, and both give attendees something to do between booths.
Endix runs Nov. 6-8 and is free to attend. It is available on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
