Some heroes carry swords. Boris carries his nose. Adorable Adventures, a relaxing third-person exploration game starring a curious baby boar, arrives November 12, and it asks players to reunite a family separated by a forest fire, one scent at a time.

Wild Sheep Studio and PQube are releasing Adorable Adventures on November 12, 2026 for Xbox, PlayStation 5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2. Players take on the role of Boris, a mischievous baby boar brimming with energy, who must learn to use his nose to find his family after a forest fire scattered them across the park.

Across rolling meadows, sun-dappled forest paths, deep caves and rocky highlands, players identify scents and follow trails to learn more about the world around them, searching for Boris’s brothers and sisters, uncovering secrets and expanding a library of smells against the backdrop of a gentle, heart-warming story.

The park itself is inspired by the Cévennes National Park in Southern France, with beautifully detailed environments, a peaceful atmosphere and soothing natural sounds. Boris can dash through open fields, root around dense undergrowth, scrabble over rocky ledges and splash about in cool riverbeds, while park ranger Maxime guides his journey of growth and self-discovery with adaptive storytelling and full voiceover.

Each of Boris’s wayward brothers and sisters has a personality of their own, and convincing them to join the adventure means solving puzzles that match them. There are playful side activities too: time trial races, photography challenges, tidying up the park and the mystery of a local legend, plus every scent collected unlocks handwritten entries in Maxime’s journal and adorable accessories to decorate Boris with.

Some tower defense games give you a path to guard. Shardwatch Dominion gives you a fortress in the middle of a circle and enemies coming from every direction at once. The classic top-down tower defense from Brainium Games asks players to protect a central stronghold and its glowing crystals, and every build, every crystal spent and every upgrade chosen between waves decides whether the fortress holds.

Released on October 23, 2026, Shardwatch Dominion is out now on Xbox, PlayStation 5 and PC. Its battles play out on circular arenas, so there is no safe flank and no quiet corner: waves of enemies assault from all sides, and the defense has to hold in every direction at once.

The heart of the game is the trade-off between building and spending. Players place towers around the fortress, dig in with crystal miners to keep resources flowing, and choose which upgrades to take between waves. Archers, walls, spikes, roots, fire and lightning all have a role, but a tower limit means every placement has to earn its place, and every crystal spent on one upgrade is a crystal not spent on another.

That pressure plays out across three environments, grass, desert and wasteland, each framing the same test in a different setting. The wave-based assaults keep coming, and the permanent upgrades earned between waves let a defense grow stronger over the course of a run, rewarding players who plan ahead instead of reacting to the next attack.

It all adds up to a simple pitch from the studio: place, upgrade, defend. Wrapped in a cute hand-drawn cartoon style, Shardwatch Dominion is a compact test of placement and resource management, and it is available now on Xbox, PlayStation 5 and PC.
