Five new Steam games you probably missed (March 9, 2026)

On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam, and it can be hard to keep up. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge unless you sort through every single release, so that’s exactly what we’ve done and present five recent titles you might have missed.

Homura Hime (Release: February 25, Developer: Crimson Dusk) is a third‑person action game the way they used to make them 20 years ago. Protagonist Homura has been tasked with defeating "five extremely powerful demon girls," and the combat blends Devil May Cry‑style slashing with Nier‑like bullet‑hell flourishes.

Planet of Lana II (Release: March 6, Developer: Wishfully) follows the hand‑painted first game with greater tonal variety — frozen peaks, deep oceans and forgotten ruins — delivering a carefully paced mix of platforming, puzzles and occasional stealth.
