GOG is expanding its publishing ambitions with Retrovibe by GOG, a newly announced partnership between GOG and independent publisher Retrovibe. The initiative is pitched as a way to help indie developers bring games to players across PC storefronts and consoles, combining Retrovibe’s hands-on publishing work with GOG’s platform reach and marketing capabilities.
For MacGaming.com readers, the key takeaway is that this is primarily a publishing and distribution announcement rather than a platform-support update. The press release does not call out macOS versions for any of the named titles, so Mac players should treat this as PC-and-console news unless individual game store pages later confirm Mac compatibility.
What “Retrovibe by GOG” means for upcoming releases
According to GOG, the partnership is designed to support games from development through launch and beyond, including funding, production guidance, QA, marketing strategy, community outreach, and coordinated PC/console publishing. GOG notes that the two companies will continue operating as separate brands, with Retrovibe providing publishing services while GOG contributes platform expertise and marketing.
First release: COP BASTARD is out now (Steam and GOG)
The first game under the new label is COP BASTARD, which GOG says launches today at 7 PM CET on Steam and GOG. Described in the announcement as a fast-paced first-person shooter with a gritty VHS aesthetic and slow-motion action, it’s positioned as a throwback to classic action cinema energy with an intentionally over-the-top tone.
Availability details here are specifically attributed to GOG’s announcement; platform support beyond what’s listed in those storefront releases isn’t confirmed in the press text.
Next up: Project Warlock: Lost Chapters targets Q4 2026
GOG also spotlights Project Warlock: Lost Chapters, continuing the series that found an audience among GOG players in 2018. Per GOG, Lost Chapters is planned for Q4 2026 and will be available on Steam and GOG from day one, featuring new worlds, enemies, and weapons while leaning into old-school FPS action.
Preservation Program adds five more classics
Alongside new releases, GOG says it’s adding five titles to the GOG Preservation Program, an initiative intended to keep classic games compatible with modern systems over time. The newly named additions are:
Mortal Kombat 4, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, BloodNet, Personal Nightmare, and Weird Dreams.
GOG highlights Mortal Kombat 4 as the entry that brought the series into 3D, and points to Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers as a standout adventure classic known for its supernatural mystery and storytelling. The remaining additions broaden the preservation lineup with more niche selections from different corners of gaming history.
GOG turns 18 and points to an anniversary sale
The announcement also marks GOG’s 18th anniversary. As part of the celebration, GOG is promoting an Anniversary Sale running until November 5 at 9 AM CET, with discounts across a wide range of catalog and newer titles. The press release name-checks games and collections including Baldur’s Gate 3, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, DOOM Eternal, Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition, and the Yakuza Complete Series.
As always, Mac players should verify platform compatibility on a per-title basis—especially for modern releases—since the sale list itself doesn’t indicate macOS support in the press text.
