Jan 31, 2026: ScummVM 2026.1.0 "Like a Version" is finally released
Posted by sev

Another year has gone by, therefore we are releasing a new ScummVM version. As you may notice right away, we are changing our version numbering schema, but that’s not all! We are also planning on more frequent releases!, which you can read about on sev’s blog.

This could be the biggest release we have made so far in terms of the added features and engines. If I count correctly, we have added 12 new engines to our compatibility page. Not games, engines. In terms of games, it is challenging to count, since two of the engines, SLUDGE and WAGE are authoring tools, but if you count games in our detection tables, that adds up to at least 194 titles.
Newly Supported Games:

Dark Seed
God of Thunder
The Adventures of Willy Beamish
Heart of China
Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand
Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake
Ripley's Believe It or Not!: The Riddle of Master Lu
Little Longnose

Pilot Brothers 3D. The Case of Garden Pests
Pilot Brothers 3D-2. Kennel Club Secrets
Features of National Fishing
Mom Don't Worry
Dog-n-cat: In the Footsteps of Unprecedented Beasts
Dog-n-cat: Island of Dr Ratiarty

SLUDGE-based games
Adibou 2: Nature & Sciences
WAGE-based games
Penumbra: Overture
Tex Murphy: Martian Memorandum
Mort&Phil: A Movie Adventure (Special Edition)
Trick or Treat
Hodj 'n' Podj
The Last Express And probably various other games…

Apart from the games and engines, two very noticeable features are the massive improvement of Keymapper and Text-to-Speech. We ran a successful Google Summer of Code last year - Ellen Moon (ellen) worked on TTS and Aun Noman (Prime) added keymapper support to a huge amount of games. TTS is currently limited to desktops (Win/Lin/Mac), but we are working on support on the mobile platforms.

As usual, we have added support for more localizations - we love them! We also squashed a number of nasty bugs - we do not love them so much.
Engines and Games Improvements

The Private Eye engine got a major sound subsystem update, in addition to support for external subtitles. The SCUMM engine had a significant overhaul, and it now supports the original in-game GUI for DOS, Macintosh and Windows. The Humongous Entertainment subengine was fully revisited with practically impeccable compatibility, thanks to the efforts of Bosca. The Stark engine for The Longest Journey now has much better compatibility with graphics cards. The Wintermute engine is undergoing a complete code review with the game compatibility improving daily. Last but not least, the ZVision engine, running Zork Nemesis and Zork: Grand Inquisitor has acquired widescreen support, better sound, and better panorama rendering, upgrading your game experience to a new level all thanks to the work of Thomas N McEwan, who joined our team last year.
