4Divinity, the publishing arm of GCL Global Holdings, has been building a Western-facing slate through 2026. Its most recent move is a six-title lineup for gamescom 2026, the company's first participation in the Cologne trade show, running August 26 to 30. The lineup spans genres and studios: The Defiant, a World War II FPS by Hoothanes; Showa American Story, a retro pop culture RPG by NEKCOM; Guns of Eschaton, an occult Western soulslike FPS by Eschatology Entertainment; A Whisper of Fall: Jin Yi Wei, a Ming Dynasty ARPG by CangMo Game Entertainment; Taigu de Shen: Nezha, an action RPG based on Chinese mythology by Genigods Lab; and Sword Sage: Awakening, an action RPG by Sword Panda Limited. The six titles have collectively amassed over 2 million wishlists and 280 million views of related content.

Showa American Story receives its first major update since its delay to November 2025, signaling a renewed push toward Western audiences after a quiet period. The company plans five world-premiere trailers and over 180 meetings with media, creators, and partners at the event.

Earlier in the year, 4Divinity announced Guns of Eschaton for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The game is the final vision of art director Viktor Antonov, known for Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, and a new trailer shows in-game footage. Release date and price are undecided. In May, 4Divinity published Realm of Ink, Leap Studio's debut title, which launched on PC and consoles, peaked at about 7,000 concurrent Steam players, holds a 91% positive review rate, and has sold 200,000 copies.
