Montreal, QC – July 1, 2025 – Outerminds Inc., the minds behind PewDiePie’s: Legend of the Brofist, Tuber Simulator, Pixelings and cult-classic-movie-turned-video-game Turbo Kid, have announced an August 5th release date for the Nintendo Switch edition of Turbo Kid.

Set in a retro-futuristic nightmare vision of the 80s, Turbo Kid is set in a world where humanity has broken down, water is scarce, tyrannical warlords roam the Wasteland, and bikes are the steeds of choice for would-be saviors. Massive worlds crammed full of surprises and danger await as you upgrade and build, blasting, slashing, running, jumping, crawling, and yes, riding your way to victory while immersing you in an original soundtrack provided by the masters of electronica, Le Matos!

About Turbo Kid

Turbo Kid is a singleplayer metroidvania adventure with insane weapons, skills, and pixel gore where you ride your BMX and blast your enemies as you discover the secrets of the Wasteland. Created as a continuation of the 2015 Sci-fi/Action cult-classic of the same name, fans of the movie were aching for a Turbo Kid video game adaptation. Heeding the call, Outerminds launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2021 and successfully funded their campaign within less than 24 hours. Turbo Kid launched on PC in April of 2024.

Key Features

• Pedal. Slash. Explode. Repeat. – Rediscover the Metroidvania you should have grown up with. Blaze your trail through a mutant-infested wasteland, upgrade your arsenal of absurdly deadly weapons, and leave a trail of pixelated guts in your wake—all from the seat of your trusty BMX.
• BMX Combat – Who needs a horse when you have a bike with attitude? Call your BMX anytime to boost through maps, unlock shortcuts, smash enemies, or just pull sick tricks. It’s the first true Metroidvania where two wheels matter (no need to fact-check that).
• Slash, Shoot, Splat – Machetes? Of course. Turbo Glove™? Absolutely. From electric blasts to saw blades, your toolkit is overflowing with over-the-top destruction. Rip through enemies with style and turn every screen into a spray of beautifully deranged pixel gore.
• Freedom to Explore, Freedom to Wreck – Set just after the events of the film, forge your path through a twisted world filled with bizarre characters and unexpected choices. Who you help—or hurt—will shape your journey across multiple playthroughs.
• All Killer, No Filler – Love lore? It’s here. Hate it? Skip it. We built Turbo Kid with pure gameplay in mind: no unskippable cutscenes, no walls of text—just fast, fluid action and flexible storytelling that works whether you’re exploring or speedrunning.

Turbo Kid Switch Edition will launch on August 5th 2025 and is available to play on Steam right now.

About Outerminds Inc.

Outerminds is an indie video game developing studio located in Montreal Canada founded in 2014 by Sylvain Savard, Nicolas Brunet-Messier, Alexandre Caron and Guiz de Pessemier. After creating our first game Tadpole Tap, we entered a game jam organized by YouTube Celebrity PewDiePie and decided to create a game starring the YouTuber himself. He quickly reached out and asked that we expand on it. The result – PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist – would be the start of a long collaboration with PewDiePie. Since then, Outerminds has made 3 more games including 2 with PewDiePie.

Live performances, developer talks, and world premieres anchor the first wave of six major announcements for Japan’s largest indie game festival in Kyoto.

KYOTO, Japan – July 1st, 2025 – BitSummit, Japan’s leading indie game festival, unveils the first round of stage programming for this year’s event, BitSummit The 13th: Summer of Yōkai. Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu headlines with his band conTIKI, joined by chiptune pioneer and Game Boy Camera creator Chip Tanaka and viral composer OkanP. Also joining the stage are industry veterans Hideki Kamiya, Boku no Natsuyasumi (aka My Summer Vacation) creator Kaz Ayabe, and Jiro Ishii, creator of the popular 428: Shibuya Scramble.

Making his BitSummit debut, veteran composer Nobuo Uematsu will perform Saturday, July 19, as keyboardist with his band conTIKI. Formed in 2021, the group’s live set often features a solo segment of Final Fantasy arrangements from the 2022 LP Modulation, conTIKI’s multimedia project and latest album Akarigatari—which blends narration, visuals, and music. 

Regarding his first appearance at the annual event, Uematsu says “Thank you for inviting me to BitSummit. I have never performed in Kyoto with an orchestra or band before, so this BitSummit will be my debut in Kyoto. …I wonder what will happen? We look forward to seeing you all at the venue!”

Composer, Hirokazu “Chip” Tanaka, the legendary sound designer, musician, and producer behind the Game Boy Camera, and the Metroid, MOTHER, and Tetris soundtracks, will take the stage on the final day at BitSummit for a special hometown appearance. An active chiptune artist since 2007, Tanaka’s set is shaped by decades of game sound innovation and a distinct electronic style.

Veteran game composer OkanP (aka Harumi Fujita) and viral TikTok sensation, best known for her work at Capcom on titles such as Mega Man 3, Final Fight, Pulstar, and Tomba!, will also perform on the BitSummit stage. In her first festival appearance since going viral, she’ll compose a brand new track live on stage, showcasing the same quick-fire creativity behind her debut video “Can you make a song like Rockman?”, which surpassed 2.8 million views, and sparked a following of over 300,000 followers across multiple platforms.

This year’s speakers panel is made up of a celebrated array of renowned game creators, some making their very first appearances at BitSummit, who will discuss and dissect their legacy, and do a deep dive on how creators shape their worlds. In a rare public appearance, Boku no Natsuyasumi creator Kaz Ayabe [Natsu-Mon! 20th Century Summer Vacation, Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale] will speak at BitSummit, tracing his path from early work to the creation of his signature series under his own studio, Millennium Kitchen. 

BitSummit is also excited to welcome back Clovers Inc., founder Hideki Kamiya [Okami, Resident Evil 2, Wonderful 101], joined by Crystal Noda, the creator of the Noda Game series of party games, for a special joint session, where they’ll dive into the evolving role of technology and individuality in game development.

Capping off this round of announcements is Shibuya Scramble Stories, a newly unveiled narrative game by Jiro Ishii, best known for the live-action title 428: Shibuya Scramble, with BitSummit hosting the first look at the project as a world premiere.
