A few days ago, a new feature landed in ScummVM. The new feature allows displaying interactive hotspot markers in games. When enabled, users can press a configurable key (default 'h') to show visual markers at clickable locations, with optional text labels showing object names. The new feature needs to be implemented for each engine separately, so don't hold your breath for too long. If you want to read all the gory details, check out the PR! https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/7135 #retrogaming

"So, I heard ScummVM is quite portable?" "Yes." "And it runs on a lot of platforms?" "Yes." "Oh, that's neat, how many platforms do you support?" "Yes."

🚨 FEATURE ALERT! At ScummVM, we support a wide range of audio and video formats - one of the keys to our incredible versatility! And a new codec just dropped. Microsoft MPEG-4 Video version 3. Now you are probably wondering _why_ we need this codec. Well, you'll have to wait for a few days until we can disclose it... https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/92f83dddc1c79e451a888e8ac275970d835c0244 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #adventuregame #linuxgaming

In the last few days, our SCUMM engine has seen some substantial changes.

Introducing: Partial support for two new games!

Please welcome "Star Wars: Rebel Assault" and "Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire"!

This is still work in progress, so there's no full support - yet.

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!

@dada78641 it depends on the operating system. On Windows, it relies on Microsoft Sam and Anna (and others if you install them), on Linux it leverages speech-dispatcher.
