ScummVM 2026.4.0 adds 194 games and 12 engines on 25th anniversary

ScummVM released version 2026.4.0 "Never-slop" on October 11, 2026, coinciding with the project's 25th anniversary since Ludvig Strigeus's first public commit. The release adds 194 newly supported games across 12 new engines, including titles from the Nancy Drew, Star Wars: Rebel Assault, and Mortadelo y Filemón series. Seventeen existing engines received bugfixes and improvements, and platform ports were updated for Windows, macOS (including PowerPC), Dreamcast, Haiku, and OpenDingux.

Why it matters

The release significantly expands ScummVM's already broad preservation scope, adding commercially significant titles like the Nancy Drew and Star Wars: Rebel Assault series that were previously unplayable without original hardware or obsolete Windows versions. Continued maintenance of PowerPC macOS and Dreamcast ports demonstrates sustained commitment to legacy platform preservation.
