Guerrilla Collective returns with another stacked showcase of indie games coming over the next several months. The showcase started at 12 PM ET with announcements, reveals, and release dates earlier today.
At the top of the hour, hosts Jaye Watts and Justin Woodward walked us through the new video games about to be revealed. Here are all the reveals from today’s Guerilla Collective showcase.
Terra Memoria
From Dear Villagers and La Toutarde comes Terra Memoria. A shortage of magic crystals and the sudden awakening of ancient robots leads six new friends on an incredible investigation across Terra – a cozy and fantastic world that combines 3D and pixel art.

Developer Superkami and Toplitz Productions revealed Sengoku Dynasty, an Early Access title on Steam. Build and manage villages in an open-world feudal Japan. Survive, explore, meet unique characters, and establish your legacy. Play solo or in co-op multiplayer.
Forgotlings
Developer ThroughLine Games and Hitcents revealed Forgotlings, a follow-up to Forgotten Anne. As the captain of The Volare, protagonist Fig explores the Forgotten Lands in a quest to unite the tribes of the Forgotlings against a beast destined to end the world.
“The main theme in Forgotlings is ‘Purpose’—despite living in complex societies with more connectivity than ever before, we still see pervasive loneliness,” Alfred Nguyen, ThroughLine Games CEO and creative director, says. “We hope Forgotlings resonates with players in today’s world, providing an imaginative lens through which to view existential threats.”
You save settlements with your crew and explore a 2.5D semi-open Metroidvania world filled with secrets, some even hidden n the Dunes, to the Agora Mountains and beyond.
Forgotlings launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC in 2024.

Corruption and criminal groups seek to leverage her talents, and the player is faced with tough choices across a tale of deception and mystery.
Europa
Future Friends Games and Helder Pinto were part of the Guerilla Showcase today to reveal Europa, which is set to launch in 2023.
On the moon Europa, a lush terraformed paradise in Jupiter’s shadow, an android named Zee sets out in search of answers. Run, glide and fly across the landscape, solve mysteries in the ruins of a fallen utopia, and discover the story of the last human alive.
“It was just December of last year when I officially revealed Europa – six months later and we’ve come a long way. Though many changes and polishes and enhancements are being made, Europa is in a fully playable state,” says Helder Pinto. “Watching this project that I’ve been working on since 2017 come to life and become a “real” game is so rewarding. That’s the magic of games – when it all comes together, it’s like nothing I’ve experienced before. I get to see this happen through both my work on AAA games during the day and my work on Europa at night, and it’s an utter joy despite the (many!) obstacles that come with game development.”
