TAGN Fantasy Critic League 2026 – Week Twenty-4, The Again Half of Summer time Sport Fest, and Beastro

We rolled into week twenty-four as soon as once more anticipating solely a single title to launch, but in addition ready on the again half of the information from Summer time Sport Fest and the ship dates that have been introduced with it.

Fantasy Critic League – Like Fantasy Soccer, however for Video Video games

However first a assessment of the place we left off final time round.

Week 23 Scores

With that set… not a lot occurred.  Because the week opened up Gothic took a success.

• Gothic 1 Remake
  • [Picked by Hidalgo Trading Company (Pallais)]
  • Rating has gone DOWN from 72.5 to 71.5

Then as we arrived on the far finish of the week, the one title we have been exception, Beastro, arrived.

• Beastro has launched!
  • [Picked by Pretty Blue Fox Games (Bhagpuss)]

You could find it over on Steam the place it’s listed as a rogue-like deck constructing informal cooking RPG or some such.  They could be abusing tags… or that could be what it’s.  I’m not certain.  Additionally the title and the emblem appears to suggest that you just play as animals doing this.

Beastro

All positive I suppose.  I don’t want to grasp each title that ships.  The issue is… it didn’t appear to get a lot consideration.  It’s on sale for underneath $10 to have a good time its launch and it has a “Very Constructive” score on Steam primarily based on 164 opinions as of this writing.

However Open Critic hasn’t setup a web page for it but, whereas over on Metacritic is has a single assessment.  However not less than it’s listed.

So we’re ready on that.  Perhaps subsequent week?

After which, as a bookend to the scoring portion of the week, Gothic took one other hit.

• Gothic 1 Remake
  • [Picked by Hidalgo Trading Company (Pallais)]
  • Rating has gone DOWN from 73.1 to 70.9

Clearly, this week wasn’t actually about titles launching as scores shifted a bit, however the lineup on the scoreboard remained the identical.

Week 24 Scores

What else can I add to that?

Then there was a bit this week.

• Bids in TAGN League
  • Lords of the Fallen II
    • Received by Inexperienced River Gaming (Nimgimli) with a bid of $12
    • Dropped sport Witchbrook conditionally

In order that was a factor.  Congrats to Nimgimli on the brand new alternative.

All of which leaves us with the bulletins that got here out of Summer time Sport Fest initially of the week.  There have been a bunch.

Breaking this up, there have been titles that acquired ship dates for this yr.

    • to ‘Tuesday, October 13, 2026’
• Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse
  • [Picked by Play Forever Mwahahaha (Shintar)]
    • Launch date modified from ‘2026’
    • to ‘Thursday, October 15, 2026’

So all of that’s now on the calendar.

Then there may be one title that moved out to 2027.

• Persona 6
  • [Picked by Rodent Entertainment (Arhanta)]
    • Estimated launch date modified from ‘TBA’
    • to ‘2027 or Later’

I anticipate that can find yourself being dropped by Arhanta forthwith.

Lastly, there may be no matter that is.

• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake
  • [Picked by Corr’s Creative Collective (Corr)]
    • Sport title modified from Unannounced The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake.
    • Estimated launch date modified from ‘Unannounced ‘ to ‘2026’.
    • Announcement date modified from ‘No Date’ to ‘Tuesday, June 09, 2026’.
    • Word eliminated: ‘That is fully unconfirmed hypothesis.’.
    • Word added: ‘This sport’s last tag remains to be to be determined. The primary teaser actually didn’t give any indication of what to anticipate so we’re deferring the choice by giving it two tags. As soon as we all know extra, one shall be dropped. Contemplate this sport 49.5% Reimagining, 49.5% Remake, and 1% Partial Remake. Partial Remake would actually shock me and that argument would have an uphill battle. However contemplate your league guidelines earlier than you bid on this, and league managers, don’t overlook that tags might be overridden.’.
    • Tags modified from Unannounced Sport to Reimagining, Remake.

All of that and… possibly it’s going to land in 2026?  We’re nonetheless undecided.

There was additionally nothing concerning the Unannounced Mainline 3D Mario Platformer throughout the Nintendo Direct that was a part of the chain of bulletins final week, so I’ll have to consider that.  It is usually in some state of competition such that you just can’t even counter decide it at present.  We will see.

That leaves the subsequent ten titles on the listing wanting like this.

Coming Up for Week 25

That provides us two title set to launch in week twenty-five, the Dave the Diver sequel and The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.  And possibly Beastro will get some traction.
