For the first time at Summer Game Fest, Australia and New Zealand have a big foot in the showcase, and the ability to note: it’s winter here, not Summer. And more importantly, we make lots of cool games here!
The games showcased in this show highlight the diverse range of genres and the creative industry in Australia and New Zealand. With the show kicking off with the oddity that is My Arms Are Longer Now, adding in the throw-back violence seen in Anticitizen: Red and finishing up with a new reveal of a fixed-horror mystery in Parasensor. There was a lot to love
Here are all the games that were shown at the Frosty Games Fest 2025.
