Sony Interactive Entertainment's September 3 State of Play presentation introduced Conq, a new PlayStation 5 title scheduled for release in 2027. The announcement came with a trailer showing pirate-like warriors clashing with an undead army, featuring grand cutscenes and large-scale battles such as siege warfare. Additional footage revealed combat scenarios where ships exchange cannon fire and board one another, alongside scenes of attacking fortresses on land, indicating that players can fight whether they approach by ship or on foot. Wishlist registration for the game has opened on the PlayStation Store, though further details are expected in future updates. The release window of 2027 and the PS5 platform were confirmed by the presentation, with no specific date provided. The title was one of several announcements during the broadcast, which also included updates on other projects such as Monster Hunter Wilds expansion Ascendance and Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition. Conq appears to be a new IP, as no prior installments or related titles were mentioned in the coverage.

Shueisha Games announced CONQUISTA: Tide of Wills at gamescom 2026, a new colony sim combined with 4X strategy elements, during the awesome indies show on August 27. The game is being developed by Micro Simulation, a small studio that started from individual development and is based in Akihabara. Its core concept is "a nation is a collective of people," with the goal of letting players manage both the micro-level lives of individual residents and the macro-level diplomacy, trade, and warfare of a nation. The game features a procedurally generated fantasy world where residents act autonomously, expressing desires and goals through a system called "Passion." Residents can send letters requesting support, and if ignored, they may declare independence or even start wars. Resources are managed through two layers: the national treasury and the market, with prices fluctuating based on supply and distribution speed. The game is scheduled for release on PC via Steam in summer 2027, with a playable demo available at the Shueisha Games booth at gamescom. A playtest matching the gamescom build is planned, with participants selected by lottery from the official Discord server.
