The final announcement from The Future Games Show, which we thought our readers would be interested in, is that sign-ups for the closed playtest of Shadowstone are now live.

As noted in the following Steam Blog, participation is limited and it’s encouraged that you sign up as soon as possible. The playtest is now live and is planned to run until the game launches in Early Access. Sadly, no progress from the playtest will carry over to the Early Access version.

Shadowstone, if you’re unaware, is a 1-4 player roguelite tactics game from Sunderfolk developer Secret Door. Survival here is said to hinge deliberate positining and utilising your hero’s unique skills.

The game is planned to launched at an unconfirmed date in 2026 on PC (Win).

You can check out the latest trailer for Shadowstone below:
