Featuring its most ambitious line-up yet, with 40 game-makers, big and small.

The Galaxies Showcase returns next week, on 15th October, boasting the most ambitious line-up it's had yet. It will feature games from more than 40 studios and publishers, both big and small, including the Square Enix Collective, Krafton, Embark Studios and many more.

There's lots to look forward to and here, we'll break down everything you need to know about how and where to watch the show, and what to expect.

Hosted by fabulous friend of Eurogamer, Jane Douglas - who you'll probably know from Outside Xbox - the Galaxies Showcase airs 15th October at the very respectable hour of 8pm BST / 9pm CEST / 12pm PT / 3pm ET.

You'll be able to watch the stream in a number of places, including on Eurogamer's homepage, as well as:

• IGN.com
• IGN's YouTube
• Facebook
• Twitter / X
• Twitch
• IGN mobile apps
• VG247
• Rock Paper Shotgun

There's a long list of publishers showing their wares during the Galaxies Showcase, which include Square Enix Collective, PUBG maker Krafton, The Finals and Arc Raiders maker Embark Studios, as mentioned above. There will also be Focus Entertainment, the Phasmophobia studio's new publishing arm Kinetic Publishing, Team17, Saber Interactive, 4Dvinity, Raw Fury, Wired Productions, Frontier Development, ZA/UM and many more. We're promised "a spread of blockbuster franchises, anticipated sequels, and brand-new announcements" to be unveiled on the night.

None of the specific games appearing have been revealed, but our roundup of last year's Galaxies Showcase should give you a good idea of what to expect.

"Every Galaxies show is built on one belief: that a brilliant game deserves the spotlight no matter who made it – a global publisher or a team of one," said Galaxies founder Chris Thomas. "This October we've brought together over 40 partners, and the line-up spans everything from beloved franchises to small indie teams making creative and personal projects. We're keeping the games under wraps a little longer, but I can tell you this is our most vibrant show yet, and I hope everyone has a great time discovering new and exciting titles."
