Nekmoe: Nazi Hunter and Crimson Moon, two games from the independent developer and publisher ProbablyMonsters, now both have release windows following their appearance during Summer Game Fest 2026's Play Days event. While Crimson Moon is seemingly right around the corner, arriving at some point in September 2026, which is quickly becoming the busiest month of the year for game releases, Nekome Nazi Hunter isn't faring any better with its early 2027 release window.
Beginning with Crimson Moon, a co-op action adventure game that ProbablyMonsters describes as "Gothic High Renaissance," was revealed earlier this year. It'll be heading to PC and consoles (save for Nintendo Switch 2) and its latest trailer shows off plenty of the kind of action-packed gameplay players can expect when they go to load it up in September.
"Crimson Moon is inspired by the team's love of classic fantasy, gothic horror, and metal music, all funneled into one epic action-adventure RPG, and we built it so friends can experience it together," said ProbablyMonsters' general manager and Crimson Moon game director David Lesperance, in a press release.
"With our release date around the corner in September, players won't have to wait long to embody the Nephilim and start their journey alone or with their best head-banging buddy through demon-infested streets and towering cathedrals."
Moving to Nekome Nazi Hunter, this game was first showcased this past March 2026, and was introduced as a deep and dark revenge story centred on Vano Nastasu, a young Romani man looking for revenge on the Nazis at all costs after they murdered his family.
The rub with Nekome: Nazi Hunter is its stealth-strategy focus, as you'll begin every level by planning out how to start culling the patrolling Nazis as you move deeper into each base. If/when things go array and you're out in the open, the game becomes a deadly brawler that doesn't seem to be as in-depth of Sifu, but seems reminiscent of Sloclap's brawler with how cinematic it all looks.
Just like Crimson Moon, there's no exact date for this game's release, though in this case there's also no exact month, as it's just set to arrive sometime in early 2027.
That said, if it goes anywhere near or within February 2027, then both Nekome: Nazi Hunter and Crimson Moon will have picked the busiest months we currently know of for the video game industry within the next year.
As Wccftech's Alessio Palumbo already dug into, every major game arriving in September 2026 to avoid GTA 6's arrival in November is really just trading one problem for another. It's also worth noting that Alessio published his piece after the June 2026 State of Play, and the number of titles releasing in September only grew exponentially throughout the rest of Summer Game Fest.
And if a game wasn't making it out this year, it was set for February 2027 instead, which is, once again, just trading one problem for another. Of course, it's possible that some or several of these games get moved, pushed forward or delayed to be more spread out, but the reality is that GTA 6 is seemingly making every publisher take the option of jamming one or two months out of the next eight with games instead of releasing next to GTA.
