Venn Studios Shows Rogue Reigns, A PC Deck-Builder For November 3

Venn Studios, a Sao Paulo indie developer, presented Rogue Reigns at Brasil Game Show 2026, held from October 9 to 12 at Distrito Anhembi. Maycol Marcondes Vargas described a deck-building roguelike with three to four characters, each carrying a separate deck, and a party whose agendas conflict so that giving a card to one character takes it from another. The PC release is set for November 3, with Japanese subtitles and voice.

Nerial, Studio Behind Reigns, Ceases Development After 13 Years

Nerial co-founders Tamara Alliot and François Alliot announced on X that the studio is ending development activities after 13 years. The studio is known for Reigns, a card-based political adventure game where choices determine a kingdom's fate, and the game holds a Very Positive rating across its Steam reviews. Nerial was acquired by Devolver Digital in 2021. Its most recent release was Reigns: The Witcher, a collaboration with The Witcher series, on February 26, 2026. The co-founders said the decision to stop development was made together with Devolver Digital. They looked back on past work, including The Crush House, and thanked people inside and outside the studio, including those who worked with them on a temporary basis. The announcement also said the shutdown "is not the end of game development for us," and that François Alliot's drive to make games remains strong, though he noted they first need to rest.
