Game Informer
Day of the Devs, the annual non-profit indie video game showcase engine, shared a new presentation following the 2026 Summer Game Fest showcase. Below are all the games announced and shown. Many games were brand new, but others are games we already knew about that have new details, like a release date. Blood Dungeon Developer & Publisher: Messhof Release: 2026 From the creators of Nidhogg and Wheel World, Blood Dungeon is a platformer that the developer Mark Essen describes as a cross between Vampire Survivors and Spelunky that is ultimately about gravity. Tenebris Somnia Developer: Saibot Studios Publisher: New Blood Interactive Release: October 16 Tenebris Somnia is a pixelated survival horror game about being trapped in a nightmare that features professional live-action sequences alongside its gameplay. Mr. Records Developer: Neil Broadhead Publisher: Wired Productions Release: TBA From the creators of Headbangers: Rhythm Royale and Musical Story, Mr. Records is a new platformer rhythm game reminiscent of games like Bit.Trip Runner and Harmoknight, where you play as Mr. Records (a record shop owner) who essentially moves and leaps through music. 33 Immortals Developer & Publisher: Thunder Lotus Release: June 10 33 Immortals, the co-op roguelike that boasts up to 33 players, is exiting Early Access and releasing in just a few days. Dreadmoor Developer: Dream Dock Publisher: Digital Vortex Entertainment Release: Q4 2026 Dreadmoor is an adventure game set in a creepy, dark, post-apocalyptic world where you fish and loot treasure from the water to progress. Threads of Time Developer: Riyo Games Publisher: Balor Release: TBA Threads of Time is a throwback RPG with impressive visuals inspired by the greats like Chrono Trigger. Riyo Games teased that it is working with RPG development luminaries and will share more details soon. N Plus Infinity Times Two Developer & Publisher: Metanet Software Inc. Release: 2027 Developer Metanet has, in a way, been working on this one game for more than 20 years. Released as a browser game in 2004 and simply titled N, each iteration has been billed as a new version of the original game rather than a numbered sequel. It's a challenging yet simple platformer focused almost exclusively on game feel and mechanics. The oddly titled latest version is more Smash Bros.-inspired multiplayer, but there will be single-player challenges, as well. Into the Unwell Developer: She Was Such A Good Horse Publisher: Coffee Stain Publishing Release: TBA Into the Unwell is a third-person roguelite with a rubber hose animation-inspired style (think Cuphead or Mouse: P.I. For Hire). Bub Developer & Publisher: Paperfrog Release: 2027 Bub is a narrative adventure game about the nature of making art in New York City, with a style that looks like it is made of layered paper cutouts. Lazy River Developer: Mike Boxleiter, Kevan DuPont, Jake Yetter, Joel Corelitz and Karlee Esmailli Publisher: Mike Boxleiter Release: Summer 2027 Lazy River is a co-op first-person shooter set in a waterpark in space where peeing in the pool creates zombies. You also have to build a raft to help you survive and escape the park. Prove You're Human Developer: sunset visitor 斜陽過客 Publisher: Black Tabby Publishing Release: TBA The new game from the creators of 1000xResist was announced recently, but Day of the Devs revealed new details about it.
