ScummVM 2026.4.0 "Never-slop" is released on the 25th anniversary It is hard to believe, but a quarter-century and a couple of days ago, the ScummVM Project saw its first public commit by Ludvig Strigeus aka ludde. So many things have changed, and we continue to follow our new release cadence. Without further ado, let's discuss what is coming with the 2026.4.0 release. First of all, we have a huge number of newly added and enhanced engines: Newly Supported Games: Mortadelo y Filemón: Una Aventura de Cine Edición Original Mortadelo y Filemón: Dos vaqueros chapuceros Mortadelo y Filemón: Terror, Espanto y Pavor Mortadelo y Filemón: La Sexta Secta Mortadelo y Filemón: Operación Moscú Mortadelo y Filemón: El Escarabajo de Cleopatra Mortadelo y Filemón: La Banda de Corvino Mortadelo y Filemón: Balones y Patadones Mortadelo y Filemón: Mamelucos a la Romana Dracula: Resurrection Dracula 2: The Last Sanctuary Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy The Cameron Files: The Secret at Loch Ness The Messenger / Louvre: The Final Curse Nancy Drew: The Secret of Shadow Ranch Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon Nancy Drew: Danger by Design Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave Chamber of the Sci-Mutant Priestess Star Wars: Rebel Assault Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire Dragonsphere Return of the Phantom Once Upon a Forest Alpha Polaris Art of Murder: FBI Confidential Barrow Hill - The Dark Path Dark Fall: Lost Souls Devil In The Capital Dirty Split Face Noir Ghost in the Sheet Hamlet The Lost Crown - A Ghost-Hunting Adventure Murder In Tehran's Alleys 2016 Murder In Tehran's Alleys 1933 Reversion series Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches Shadows on the Vatican series other Wintermute engine games, over 140 titles Der Schatz im Silbersee (Treasure of the Silver Lake) The Fool's Errand Harvester Lord Avalot d'Argent Dungeon Master Engine bugfixes and improvements: Seventeen engines were enhanced and improved.

We finally completed the Hopkins engine by implementing its shooter mini-game (based on a small engine similar to Wolfenstein 3D). Kyra engine got automap in EOB games, and Korean fan translations of Legend of Kyrandia are now supported. A long-standing bug with pathfinding in Lure of the Tempress has been fixed. Also, we fixed a handful of bugs in Riddle of Master Lu; it makes it not an easy task, since all the game logic is hardcoded and not in scripts. Might and Magic got several facelifts, crash fixes, and small QoL improvements. Nancy engine is on the roll, and we fixed bugs in already supported games, on top of six announced in this release. Even the SCUMM engine got its C64 and early Windows HE titles compatibility improved. We added MT-32 support to the TsAGE engine, and fixed deadlocks in the V-Cruise engine games. Port improvements - Performance boost since last version. - Minor bug fixes.

Engine bugfixes and improvements: Ten supported engines got their tweaks and improvements. Martian Memorandum got script bug fixes, Simon 2 multilanguage support became better, there is a new whole control panel for the GLK engine, allowing to adjust text rendering, Last Express had some corner case bugs squashed, which also happened to the Rex Nebular.
