Daybreak Game Company has launched EverQuest Legends, a modernized version of the 1999 classic, and has shown a demo of Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 at Summer Game Fest: Play Days 2026.
Daybreak Game Company has two active projects in 2026. The first is EverQuest Legends, developed with Game Jawn and launched on August 6, 2026. The game keeps the original's retro visuals, soundtrack, and areas but reworks systems for solo and casual play. A multi-class system offers over 560 build combinations, and the game is available now via a base package.
The second project is Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, a sequel to the tactical shooter. A playable demo at Summer Game Fest: Play Days 2026 showed the game expanding from three-player to four-player co-op. The class system has been overhauled to six classes, including a flexible Specialist, and new mechanics include crouch, an electric shock baton melee, temporary health, and team-shared supply items.
Both projects reflect Daybreak's current direction: updating established franchises with systems aimed at broader or more flexible play. EverQuest Legends targets solo and small-group players, while Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 addresses fan requests for larger co-op and fewer class restrictions.
