Join the Early Access journey from ex-Satisfactory devs on Steam

Gothenburg, Sweden – May 25th, 2026 – Feeble Minds are pleased to announce that their 1-4 player co-op soulslike, Serpent’s Gaze, is available now in Early Access. The game is priced at $14,99 / €15,99 / £13.75, but is available now for $13,49 / €14,39 / £12.37 thanks to a 10% launch discount. A Supporters Pack DLC for fans who want to offer some extra support for the game during its Early Access journey is also available today for $3,99 / £4.13 / €4,49.

Serpent’s Gaze blends punishing co-op third-person action with the creeping build-creation of roguelikes. Blessings from deities, gifts from your patron and strange relics can be utilised on your pilgrimage as you shape unique builds on each run. Create a character that thrives on quick kills thanks to Aspect of the Plague, which gives you temporary stat points when you kill a foe. Supplement it with blessings that increase the duration of buffs and upgrades that scale with your stats. Or, don the Aspect of the Bold to gain damage for each point of health missing to start building a character made for revenge. Combine this with a massive health pool, slow health restoration and a relic that can sacrifice your own health to stagger enemies, and you will be seeking out pain to return as punishment.

Serpent’s Gaze features handcrafted levels, with no procedural generation, from some of the key developers behind the 91 metacritic-rated Satisfactory and the cult-hit Goat Simulator series. Every run is unique thanks to a “Curse” system that applies stacking difficulty modifiers to your runs, from invading enemies, to minibosses that will hunt you down. Survive the deserts and ruins that belong to the nomadic Majin, fight through the cathedrals inhabited by the proud Attar’Esh and take down the brutal bosses you will encounter throughout your journey.  

You play as a scion – given life by the withering tree god Magnolia, with the sole purpose of vanquishing the opposing gods and usurpers who currently rule the lands. Learn more about the secrets of the desert and the truth behind your patron in a story that subtly unfolds as you play. There is only one way to make the desert bloom again: violence.

“We’re really excited for everyone to jump in and start playing Serpent’s Gaze today” said Feeble Minds CEO Jannik Reuterberg. “We hope that Serpent’s Gaze’s Early Access journey will not only be a co-op experience for people who are playing with their friends, but also a cooperative endeavour as we keep improving the game with our community on the road to 1.0.”

BITSummit announcement trailer highlights the nostalgic roguelike action-platformer’s claymation-style characters, diorama-like world and never-before-seen gameplay

Kyoto, Japan — May 22, 2026 — Get ready to rise, rebuild, and rediscover what it means to be a hero. During BITSummit in Kyoto, Japan, publisher Acclaim, Inc. announced that Kidbash: Super Legend, the nostalgic roguelike action-platformer developed by Indonesian indie studios Authentic Remixes and Fat Raccoon, will be published by Acclaim and released on Steam and consoles in early 2027.

Awakening in a world of forgotten game characters with no memory of his past, the hero Kidbash embarks on an emotional journey of redemption, training, and discovery.

“Kidbash grabbed all of our attention, instantly. It feels like somebody uncovered a lost action classic from the PS3/Dreamcast era and gave it a modern 2020’s soul. Authentic Remixes & Fat Raccoon built something with real style, real gameplay, and a ton of personality.” said Marc Anthony Rodriguez, Director of Publishing & Strategic Partnerships at Acclaim, Inc.

“The second we saw the claymation-real “Laika-esque” vibe of the game world, the mash-up weapon combat, and the sheer energy of it all moving together, we knew this game had something special. This is exactly the kind of bold, memorable indie game Acclaim was brought back to champion!”

Paying homage to the classic adventures of Mega Man and Kirby, the game blends fast-paced action and exploration with deep roguelike progression and a charming claymation-style aesthetic that brings its vibrant characters and vibrant world to life.

The announcement is accompanied by an all-new cinematic trailer, offering a first look at Kidbash: Super Legend’s larger-than-life cast, stunning diorama-esque world, massive bosses, and never-before-seen gameplay that highlights the game’s blend of frenetic combat and expansive platforming.

Key Features

• Play as a Lost Forgotten Hero – Our hero, Kidbash, awakens with no memory of his past, only his name and a burning desire to become a hero. After failing to save the nearby village of Mandala, he seeks training from the legendary master of the mountain, Tao Shen Long, only to discover that he has disappeared.
• Weapon Mixing – Fill the meter up as you slay enemies, and you’ll be able to combine 2 weapons to create a more powerful one, each with unique mechanics—totally not inspired by Kirby 64.
• Find Powerful Mod and Weapon Combinations – Pick from a randomized pool of mods that will enhance your platforming and combat. These mods even stack when you mix together your weapons!
• Village Building & Meta Progression – Help a cast of forgotten characters rebuild their destroyed village. Your meta progression and character development are tied directly to the village’s growth!
