New on Steam. Shooter awaited by millions takes center stage this week
This week, games such as Mecha Break, Bloodrush: Undying Wish, Primordialis, Radiant: Guardians of Light, and Rekindled Trails will be released on Steam.
Welcome to the series that discusses the most important upcoming releases on Steam. This week is going to be slow, with just one big release and a handful of small ones. The reason for this drought is simple - the summer sale is ongoing, and most companies are not willing to risk overshadowing their own productions with a flood of discounts.
Release of the week: Mecha BREAK (July 2, 2025)
In this week, there is only one game that promises to be a big box office success. Mecha BREAK is a shooter game focused on online battles (both PvP and co-op), in which players will control fast mechs.
More than 207,000 players are following the game on Steam. The devs boasted last year that nearly 3 million people had registered for the title. It was also the most popular demo of the Spring Steam Next Fest, so the interest in the production is very high. The project release should be a big deal, especially since using a free-to-play model with microtransactions will help boost activity results.
Most important releases on Steam June 30 - July 6, 2025
June 30th
Atuel
Atuel is a game designed as an interactive documentary experience, in which we will explore a surreal land inspired by the valley of the Argentine river. The project won several awards at indie festivals, so it looks like it's going to be an interesting, albeit quite unusual, piece.
Bloodrush: Undying Wish (early access)
Bloodrush: Undying Wish is a hack'n'slash action RPG based on an interesting concept - during the game, the protagonist gradually loses health, and the only way to regenerate it is by killing enemies.
The game has a demo on Steam.
Primordialis (early access)
Primordialis is a simulation that puts a strong emphasis on roguelike elements. Our job will be to breed a fish trying to survive in the ocean of a fantastic world. This creature will have to fight enemies, and victories will allow us to acquire new cells, which will be used for further evolution. A powerful physics engine will control all of this.

Radiant: Guardians of Light
Radiant: Guardians of Light is an action RPG made in the form of a walking beat 'em up. The game will be set in a fantasy setting and will focus on a strongly cartoonish two-dimensional style. The title allows for solo play as well as co-op mode.
Rekindled Trails
Today we will also play Rekindled Trails. This is a cozy action adventure game with a bird's eye view, in which we will rebuild a fantasy land, gather resources, and trade with encountered NPCs.
The demo available on Steam makes a very good impression, so we hope that the full version will be equally successful.
