New on Steam. WoW fans should get ready for something special

Welcome to the series that discusses the most important upcoming releases on Steam. There won't be much happening this week. Since Steam Next Fest is kicking off tonight with tons of demos, most creators decided not to compete with the event. However, this doesn't mean that the coming days won't bring any interesting releases.

Release of the week is Fellowship (Early Access, October 16, 2025)

Fellowship is an action RPG primarily focused on co-op for up to four players.

The creators are aiming to come up with a new game genre called MODA (Multiplayer Online Dungeon Adventure). It's like a mash-up of the intense raid vibes from MMORPGs (World of Warcraft inspirations) with action RPG and MOBA elements. The devs want to deliver everything great about raids, but without the need for grinding and other requirements typical of MMO titles.

The creators want to make sure the dungeons we explore never get boring. This will be achieved in two ways. First off, the maps will adjust to the team's skill level, and on top of that, the developers plan to keep dropping new features and tweaks regularly.

These ideas might hit the mark, as Fellowship is the most followed release on Steam this week. The project's demo was also very popular during the winter Steam Next Fest.

Escape from Duckov

Meanwhile, Escape from Duckov is a humorous extraction shooter with a top-down view. As the title suggests, it is a parody of Escape from Tarkov, where instead of humans, players will control armed ducks.

It sounds absurd, but among this week's releases, only Fellowship has more players waiting.

Sunken Engine (Early Access)

Sunken Engine looks intriguing. It's a ship repair simulator. However, instead of a realistic world, we will get the atmosphere of a Lovecraftian horror. Every ship that docks at our shipyard comes with its own dark secrets that we need to unravel, all while making sure we don't lose our minds in the process.
