The autumn gaming reveal season is heating up, and the Galaxies Showcase is officially back to anchor it. The digital showcase returns on October 15, bringing with it fresh announcements from a heavyweight trio of developers: Embark Studios, ZA/UM, and Frontier Developments — along with, according to organizers, a whole host of other studios that have yet to be revealed.
When and Where to Watch the Galaxies Showcase
Mark your calendars for October 15, because that is when the showcase takes one more spin around the internet. The stream will be broadcast across IGN’s family of platforms, meaning you can catch every trailer and announcement live on the official IGN YouTube channel, as well as on Facebook, Twitch, and X (formerly Twitter). No matter where you prefer to watch your gaming events, the Galaxies Showcase has you covered.
As with previous editions, expect a fast-paced format: new trailers, release date reveals, gameplay debuts, and the occasional surprise premiere, all packed into a single broadcast.
The Headline Studios: Who Is Presenting?
Embark Studios
The Stockholm-based studio is arguably the biggest draw of the show. Embark made its name with the destructible-environment shooter The Finals, and all eyes are now on Arc Raiders, its extraction shooter set on a near-future Earth invaded by hostile machines. With Arc Raiders generating enormous buzz ahead of launch, whatever Embark brings to the Galaxies Showcase stage — whether it is new Arc Raiders content or something entirely unexpected — is guaranteed to dominate post-show headlines.
ZA/UM
The Estonian studio earned cult-classic status with the critically adored narrative RPG Disco Elysium, one of the most celebrated role-playing games of the past decade. ZA/UM is now attached to Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, and the studio’s appearance at the showcase suggests we may finally learn more about this intriguing new project. Given ZA/UM’s reputation for sharp writing and unconventional design, RPG fans should be paying close attention.
Frontier Developments
Rounding out the headline trio is the Cambridge veteran Frontier Developments, the studio behind the long-running space sim Elite Dangerous. Frontier has kept the game’s passionate community flying for years with steady updates and expansions, and any news about the future of the Elite universe — or perhaps one of Frontier’s other franchises like Planet Zoo or Jurassic World Evolution — will be big news for simulation fans.
Why This Showcase Is Worth Your Time
What makes the October 15 event particularly interesting is the sheer variety of its confirmed lineup. You have a breakout multiplayer shooter studio at the peak of its momentum, a beloved narrative RPG developer with something mysterious in the works, and a seasoned simulator specialist with a decade-spanning live game. That spread suggests the Galaxies Showcase is positioning itself as a genuine catch-all event rather than a niche stream — and the promise of “a whole host of others” hints that a few surprise guests could still be waiting in the wings.
With the holiday release window fast approaching, October is prime time for publishers to lock in release dates and build hype, so do not be shocked if at least one of the announcements lands with a “available soon” — or even “out now” — attached to it.
