The Summer Game Fest show was followed, as always, by a new Day of the Devs, focusing on a variety of exciting and upcoming indie games from around the world.
There were over twenty games in the show this year, and several were world premiere reveals. There’s a good mix here, with plenty of new games, some from developers we’re familiar with, and a few exciting sequels being showcased.
Here’s all the news and the trailers from Day of the Devs 2025.
Snap & Grab
Plan your heist well, and then steal items from marks in Snap & Grab.
Big Walk
The next game from Australian developer House House isn’t another Untitled Goose Game; it’s a game about going for a Big Walk. And this trailer did the best job of explaining just what the game is — a puzzle game with options to just get lost in the bush.
Sword of the Sea
The new game from Giant Squid Studios is being released on August 19, and here’s a new look at Sword of the Sea.
Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School
There are still options to either play this sequel in solo or in co-op, but this escape sequel is also building upon what players loved in the first game. You’ll also now be able to explore the campus between escaping.
Mixtape
Another Australian game, this time Mixtape from Beethoven & Dinosaur, the game behind The Artful Escape. This was a fun look at the game from the team.
Blighted
Drinbox Studios has announced their new game at Summer Game Fest, and here’s a breakdown of what’s new and different in this next game from the developer, including a dynamic difficulty system and the option for co-op.
Dosa Divas: One Last Meal
Cooking mini-games combine with turn-based RPG gameplay in this new game from Outerloop Games.
Possessor(s)
A new trailer for Possessor(s) showed the Metroidvania gameplay as well as the animated shorts that will showcase the backstories of the characters in the game.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault
Everything looks to be getting an upgrade in Moonlight 2: The Endless Vault, with improved combat and boss fights, plus new ways you’ll be expanding and selling items at your shop.
Please, Watch the Artwork
The sequel to Please, Touch The Artwork is about watching artwork and looking for oddities as the paintings come to life.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion
After revealing Rocket Raccoon and She-Hulk are coming to the game at Summer Game Fest, here are some new gameplay and developer insights.
Neverway
This is a dark take on a life-sim RPG as you play a character who will be looking to build a shop with farming and crafting while also battling monsters and more at night.
Relooted
It’s an intriguing new game that takes real-life South African artifacts that are in museums and makes a game about having to steal them back by planning your route in and out and then doing it.
Ratatan
The spiritual successor to Patapon is coming to Early Access on Steam on July 25th, with all the music, beats, and battles that fans of these games would have come to expect.
Thick As Thieves
Warren Spector and his team are working on Thick as Thieves, a game where you’ll be planning a heist against AI enemies using all the usual tricks, but with the added intrigue of other players, you’ll also have to deal with and plan around or take down.
Pocket Boss
This puzzle game is about fixing charts that your boss is sending you by moving lines to get the results they want.
Consume Me
A personal game from the team at Hexecutable is all about how being a teenager sucks and then attempting to fit too many things into your Day in a quickly over-filling schedule. Relatable.

Off is releasing on Steam and Nintendo Switch on August 15.
