Hyperstrange

Hyperstrange is publishing DERELIKT, a retro FPS by Visuwyg, and has announced two in-house titles, ELDERBORN: VENGEANCE and Odd Town. DERELIKT is set for a 2026 release on PC via Steam and GOG.com.

Synthesized from 4 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 16

Hyperstrange has three announced projects in 2026. The studio is publishing DERELIKT, a story-driven retro FPS developed by Visuwyg. The game is set on a derelict station in Saturn orbit and draws from System Shock 2, Alien Resurrection, and Doom 3. It features 12 levels, over 12 NPCs, limited ammunition, and PS1-era visuals. DERELIKT launches on PC via Steam and GOG.com in 2026.

Hyperstrange is also developing two titles internally. ELDERBORN: VENGEANCE is a sequel to the 2020 melee slasher ELDERBORN. It is a first-person melee action game with a new warrior on a revenge quest through ancient ruins, deserts, and fortresses. New skill trees and weapon customization are teased, and the game is English-only. Odd Town is a first-person adventure set in a retro-styled town where players uncover a conspiracy through honest work or crime. It is being developed by solo developer The Flying Baguette, and a demo is available on Steam.

The three projects share a retro aesthetic and a focus on survival or melee mechanics. DERELIKT emphasizes limited resources and PS1-style graphics, while ELDERBORN: VENGEANCE continues the heavy-metal soundtracked combat of its predecessor. Odd Town adds a day-night cycle and dynamic consequences to its branching open world. Release dates and prices remain unannounced for ELDERBORN: VENGEANCE and Odd Town.
