Starting with Debian 14 (forky), the Debian project will enforce reproducible builds for packages in their repository, helping to strengthen software security.
This is a MASSIVE project, and we are very happy to report that ScummVM is already safe!

A new engine just landed in ScummVM!
Introducing: PELROCK, an engine adding support for the game
"Alfred Pelrock: En Busca de un Sueño".
The engine is complete with no identified major bugs and all features available.
The game is only available in Spanish, but an Android re-release has an English translation, so maybe we can do something about that.

ScummVM 2026.2.0 "Railmonicon" sees the light!
Three months have passed since the last release, and here we are again, with our new release approach. We are both worried and excited, but hope that in the current reality of the absence of pre-release testing, with more frequent releases, we will be able to deliver critical fixes faster.
Three months have passed, but the amount of new features is very noticeable!

A new engine has been merged.
yuv422 was working for a while on an engine for Darkseed.
So far, the engine takes 10,883 lines of code, which brings it to a lower end. However, all the game logic is hardcoded, so the development is not an easy feat.

Long time no post. Hello there!

“Your move, Commander.”
*Moonbase Commander*, one of the very last games ever created in the #SCUMM engine, is now finally supported and ready for public testing!
Even though the game can be played via single player Skirmishes and Challenge mode, you can also play multiplayer games either with other people online, or through other devices connected to your Local Area Network, both of which are fully supported!
