Odd Object, a new studio led by Stevie Hryciw and Tyriq Plummer, is developing a game called Scrubbin’ Trubble, set to release on PC via Steam in 2025. It is a "roguelike clean ’em up" game that combines cleaning and combat, allowing solo or cooperative play for up to four players. Players can choose from six RPG-inspired classes, including Bubbaladin, Bleacher, and Washbuckler, each with unique abilities. The game features randomized levels called The House, where players face various enemies and must defeat one of the Four Filths of the Apocalypse to progress. Key features include character upgrades, pun-themed enemies, and specialized equipment like the "Wiper Rifle" and "Splash Bang." The game is designed for both short and long gaming sessions.

Obsidian Entertainment is developing the fantasy RPG Avowed, which is not an expansive open-world game like Skyrim. The game features firearms, diverging from traditional fantasy tropes. Director Carrie Patel highlights the series' blend of political intrigue with philosophical and metaphysical elements. The game aims for a scope similar to The Outer Worlds while focusing on expansive role-playing and action-heavy combat. Players can purchase firearms and use a classless system to combine melee and magic, which is uncommon in RPGs. Combat includes a responsive dodge mechanic and a stun meter for special attacks, with a balance between agility and weight. The game encourages exploration with climbable surfaces and hidden rewards, and player agency is emphasized. Avowed includes tutorials and customizable user interface controls. While the gameplay is engaging, some elements feel artificial, and the writing may not resonate as deeply as other titles.
