Neva: Prologue Confirms Release Date

Wow, Sony’s State of Play in February 2026 was incredible! I was completely shocked when the God of War spin-off just dropped out of nowhere, and it’s amazing to see a new Castlevania game after so many years. But it wasn’t just the big names – there were a ton of awesome indie games too, like a sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits and a new project from the Shovel Knight team! If you’re a Neva fan, you’ll be really happy to hear that game is coming out in less than a week, which is amazing!
