by

Twin Sails Interactive revealed its initial game releases planned for 2026, featuring the new cyberpunk action-adventure game Sky Dust, the fast-paced aerial combat game Wind Runners, and significant updates for their existing games, Terraforming Mars and Survival: Fountain of Youth.

Twin Sails Interactive is excited to announce the first wave of new content, including completely new games and significant updates to existing favorites. CEO Nicolas Godement shared that these updates include features players have been requesting for a long time.

Godement explained that the company is entering an exciting new phase. They plan to launch innovative games and brands with the potential to lead their categories, while also significantly improving existing games with substantial updates. They’re building lasting relationships with partners, and are particularly thrilled to announce new investment and the start of their first internally developed game. They’re eager to move forward and pursue these opportunities.

Here are the details:

Sky Dust

Developed by Orbit Studio in Brazil, Sky Dust is a vibrant, neon-lit science-fiction adventure inspired by the Metroidvania genre. It’s set in a dangerous and decaying Sao Paulo, where a mysterious lunar fallout has corrupted the city. Players take on the role of skilled mercenaries who accept jobs – both legal and illegal – and risk their lives navigating the treacherous streets for profit.

Get ready for Sky Dust, a new single-player game coming to PC and consoles! It combines the exploration of classic Metroidvania games with challenging, skill-based combat and quests you’d find in an RPG.

  • A City Built for Exploration – Traverse vast, interconnected neighborhoods through fluid platforming and Metroidvania-style exploration, acquiring special abilities and unlocking new districts.
  • A Storyline Impacted by Your Choices – A seemingly routine mercenary job spirals into a dangerous conspiracy involving lost secrets capable of reshaping reality. Every new area brings you closer to the truth… and to a collapse that could consume everything.
  • Brutal, Skill-Driven Combat – Dodge, parry, and chain deadly combos against augmented gangs, mutated cultists, and relentless machines. Face everything from simple mobs to elite and dreadful bosses and adapt your fighting style to their unique combat patterns and status modifiers.
  • Augmentations at Your Disposal – To stand a chance of survival, use your upgradable augmented arm and every tactic at your disposal, including stealth executions, fatigue-gauge openings, range control, and deadly finishing moves.
  • A Living World Between Neon Lights, Asphalt and the Cyberverse – Despite its collapse, Sao Paulo still pulses with life, as street vendors, shops, arcades and more illuminate the chaos. Your contracts will lead you into the city’s forgotten underbelly, through high-speed motorcycle battles, and even into the corrupted layers of the Cyberverse. You can roam the city’s neighborhoods and take on side quests from deal-cutters and outcasts—or simply help everyday survivors struggling to endure.

Wind Runners

Wind Runners is a fast-paced, action-packed dogfighting game where you play as a single pilot battling the powerful and cruel forces of the techno-teism Realm. With roguelite elements – meaning each playthrough is unique – and a bright, pixelated look, it’s the newest game from Brazilian developer Ludic Studio. It will be available on PC in Early Access in the third quarter of 2026.

  • Pure Flight Control – Experience precise, momentum-driven aerial movement where every dash, roll, and turn is fully under your control. Only mastering your skills keeps you alive.
  • High-Skill, Arcade-First Combat – The aerial combat system is built around reflexes, positioning, and mastery, rewarding players who learn, adapt, and improve every run
  • Intense Roguelite Runs – Dive into fast, high-pressure planet-liberation missions designed for replayability, experimentation, and “one more run” energy.
  • Overwhelming Forces – Face endless enemy waves as a solo combatant, as well as colossal Cardinal Beasts in visceral towering, God-like boss battles against the tyrannical Saints.
  • Endless Build Possibilities – Choose one of three distinct pilots and unlock new weapons and upgrades each run to create powerful synergies and strategies.
  • Immersive Narrative – Liberate the stars as you free planets from oppression, spreading your crest across the Realm and experiencing poetic dieselpunk odyssey, soaring through vibrant skies and rusted worlds.

Terraforming Mars Downloadable Content “Colonies”

The “Colonies” downloadable content for Terraforming Mars is a significant update to the official digital version of the popular board game by Jacob Fryxelius. Developer Artefacts Studios has consistently updated and supported the game since its initial release on PC in 2018, and later on mobile devices in 2019.

This exciting new expansion takes the game beyond Mars and into the wider solar system, adding a whole new layer of gameplay. Players can now establish and develop colonies on other planets, create trading networks, and build up a merchant fleet. This allows for competition with rival companies to gain profitable trade advantages. With the addition of new corporations, project cards, and colony tiles, each game will be unique, demanding that players constantly adjust their strategies and long-term plans.

The game “Colonies” will be available starting January 22nd for PC (on Steam, Epic, GOG, and Humble) and mobile devices (iOS and Android). It will cost $6.99 or €6.99 on PC and $3.99 or €3.99 on mobile.

Survival: Fountain of Youth

Twin Sails Publishing is completing its lineup with Survival: Fountain of Youth, a difficult single-player game where you try to survive in an open world set in the Caribbean islands of the 1500s.

The new “Co-Op Update” is a significant addition to Survival, finally letting players team up to explore the islands together. This long-awaited feature maintains the game’s focus on survival and exploration while adding a whole new dimension of shared experiences. To support cooperative play, we’ve updated core systems like crafting times, resource gathering, and building, and adjusted key features like combat and reviving players to work seamlessly in multiplayer.

I’m so excited! The developers just announced a free update coming in 2026 for PC – you’ll be able to get it on Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, and Humble. It’s also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S! If you haven’t picked up the game yet, it’s currently $27.99 on PC and $29.99 for the Captain’s Edition on consoles.
