LEGO Skylines and Gears of War: E-Day are two of the multiple titles freshly rated by South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee.
South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee has quietly rated an unannounced LEGO Skylines game from Paradox Interactive, hinting at a Cities: Skylines spin-off in the works. Gears of War: E-Day, Persona 4 Revival, and more also appear in the April 2026 batch

South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee has filed ratings for several key titles this week, with two entries standing out in particular — one unannounced, and one arriving at the perfect moment.

LEGO Skylines showed up out of nowhere

The bigger surprise is LEGO Skylines, listed under Paradox Interactive with no prior announcement. The title almost certainly points to a LEGO-branded take on Cities: Skylines. When it happens, it will bring together one of PC gaming's most beloved city-builders and the LEGO brand's mass-market appeal. Neither Paradox nor the LEGO Group have commented, but Korean ratings filings have a strong track record as pre-announcement indicators — so an official reveal may not be far off.

Gears of War: E-Day

The E-Day rating also lands at an interesting moment. Microsoft has already confirmed the game is getting its own dedicated Direct immediately after the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, where new gameplay and release details are widely expected. The fresh rating could only mean that the rollout is very much in motion. Developed by The Coalition for PC and Xbox Series X|S (curr. $545 on Amazon for a renewed variant), E-Day is a prequel following Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago through the original Emergence Day — and is one of the most anticipated Xbox exclusives of 2026.

Other filings

Rounding out the batch: Persona 4 Revival from Atlus, which has been announced but still doesn't have a release date — with Summer Game Fest potentially changing that — and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.
