Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 22

Total Mayhem Games has dated its next two-player puzzle adventure. We Were Here Tomorrow arrives on October 20 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the studio announced during the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct 2026 stream. The Future Games Show at gamescom 2026 had earlier put the release in October 2026. Japanese text support and cross-play between PC and consoles are planned.

The game moves the series to an Antarctic expedition that falls beneath the ice and wakes in a retro-futuristic research complex. The facility is run by Nolchek Industries, where a research team led by director Kathleen Bow has disappeared. Players move along separate paths and rely on walkie-talkies or in-game voice chat, with each player holding information the other needs. New items include generating square cubes and a slime-like attachment that can be pulled, and players must describe these to their partner.

Total Mayhem Games Executive Producer Leite Dauma said development ran two and a half years. Creative Director Martin Mitna said a full playthrough may take around 12 to 15 hours. The announcement stream also covered new items, gravity sections, and the story's revelations about why the facility was built and what happened to the people inside.

Prior entries in the series have gathered tens of thousands of Steam reviews, many rated Very Positive, according to the gamescom announcement. Total Mayhem Games has not dated a release beyond October 20.
