We show you the most worth seeing new trailers that game fans should not miss. Especially cyberpunk lovers can be excited.

Dark eye candy, mathematical perfection and total action overload: The most worth seeing trailers of the week do not spare superlatives.

We show you not the most watched, not the most expensively produced, but what we think are the best trailers of the week on GlobalESportNews

Place 4: Shapez 2


If you love games like Factorio, you’d better move your peripherals aside now so you don’t get a saliva thread running in. In Shapez 2 we have to create more and more complex shapes, we need more and more assembly lines and factories to construct the necessary components. These then travel sometimes long distances for further processing. This creates complex factories that are somewhat reminiscent of circuits.

The German developer Tobias Springer is giving his automation construction game Shapez, which was celebrated on Steam, a successor from 2024, which will initially appear in Early Access. An extra dimension is the most obvious improvement. So the graphics become 3D and give our gigantic factory a more tangible look. And damn, the trailer just makes you want to lose yourself in the optimisation frenzy for hours again.

Place 3: Hammerwatch 2

Wrapping a modern framework in retro graphics is a big trend in the indie scene. A new representative of this maxim is called Hammerwatch 2 and in the trailer it mixes the action role-playing vibes of a Diablo with the pixel art design of a Stardew Valley.

And it looks heart-warming. A few crackling spells, flickering light effects and gigantic fire dragons later, we have an urgent desire to try it out for ourselves. We can well imagine taking on the fantasy adventures with three friends. Hammerwatch 2 has already been released on Steam and for consoles.

Place 2: Neo Berlin 2087

Another representative from local climes, which is also set in Germany  In other words, in an oppressive, zappenduster version of it. In Neo Berlin 2087 the capital groans in the iron grip of mega-corporations, brutal violence is the rule rather than the exception and the transhumanist society modifies away the last remnants of humanity.

That’s what the trailer gets across. Hardly anything reminds us of Berlin as we know it today, everything is overgrown by high-tech. But old problems of humanity remain, for example crime. We slip into the leather coat of a brilliant detective who has to solve the murder of his boss. To do this, he first has to find his daughter. The trailer bleeds gloomy atmosphere and rainy cyberpunk flair.

Place 1: Turbo Overkill

Okay, please grab your sunglasses for a second before you fire up this trailer. Better. The flash may irritate sensitive retinas, but the fast pace is fun to watch. Turbo Overkill has left Early Access behind and has been released as a full version on Steam.

In the neon-burning street canyons and corporation-dominated areas of Paradise, we shoot from all guns blazing. Nimble, superhuman movement manoeuvres turn us into a kind of silversurfer on speed, while we wield dual machine guns like in an overdrawn action film.

Chainsaws for legs! The obligatory super AI Syn tries to slow us down, but we simply race past it on our motorbike and hover car. Extra points for the retro style, which may not be to everyone’s liking.

And you? Which trailer did you like best? Is it perhaps one that doesn’t get a mention here? Feel free to write us your opinion in the comments!
