INDIE NEWS / SHOWCASE RECAP / 12 NOVEMBER 2026
There’s a certain amount of pressure involved in putting together a games showcase. You need trailers, release dates, surprises and somebody brave enough to say the words ‘one more thing’. Raw Fury has decided to skip some of the ceremony altogether.
The Swedish indie publisher held its first Games to Announce Unshowcase on 12 November, dropping new dates, demos, updates and platform announcements across a fairly eclectic catalogue. It isn’t just a collection of trailers either: some of the games are arriving before you’ve finished reorganising your Steam wishlist.
Dungeon Automata arrives on 26 January 2027
Dungeon Automata, from Medium-Rare Games, is now set for 26 January 2027. Its unusual idea is to let you program a party of adventurers with visual nodes, then send them into an RPG dungeon to see whether your instructions were brilliant or catastrophically misguided.
The game mixes dungeon crawling, turn-based tactics and automated battles. Studying an enemy’s behaviour and adjusting the party’s logic is intended to be the real puzzle, rather than pressing the same attack button until the health bar gives up.
A playable demo is already available on Steam, which is handy for anyone who wants to discover whether they have a future in combat programming before January.
Kingdom Two Crowns goes to Egypt, and a golf-platforming playtest opens
Kingdom Two Crowns: Pharaoh Lands is coming on 1 December 2026. The new DLC takes players into an ancient Egypt-inspired setting, with gods, the Valley of the Kings and more reasons for your carefully assembled kingdom to run into something horrible just beyond the torchlight.
Meanwhile, Bye Bye Bonnie from Brainwash Gang is preparing a Steam playtest in early December. The game combines co-operative platforming, physics and golf-like interactions, with support for groups of up to four. It looks like exactly the sort of game where a simple job becomes a half-hour argument about who sent the ball off the cliff.
The publisher says playtest sign-ups are available through the game’s Steam page. This is a test announcement, not a firm full-release date.
New platforms for KuloNiku and Dome Keeper
Two more games picked up platform dates. KuloNiku: Bowl Up! is scheduled for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on 25 November, while Dome Keeper is heading to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on 14 December.
For Dome Keeper, the appeal is straightforward. It combines mining for resources with defending your dome against attacks, turning the innocent act of digging into a race against the next round of visitors who would very much like to knock the place down.
Hillthorn is already available, with more games lining up
Hillthorn, a sombre detective game from Fool Moon and Finnegan Motors, is already out. It asks players to solve a mystery through cards and deduction without relying on spoken dialogue. No chatty companion explaining each clue, just you, the evidence and the uncomfortable possibility that you’ve missed something obvious.
The showcase also pointed towards Appulse, a pinball-inspired top-down shooter scheduled for 26 November, plus further looks at Cassette Beasts 2002 and My Cannibal Family. Raw Fury has teased one more announcement for December, without putting a name to it yet.
Plenty to pick through
What makes this line-up interesting isn’t one enormous tentpole release. It’s the distance between the ideas: visual programming in a dungeon, a physics-driven multiplayer game, an Egyptian expansion, a card-based detective mystery and a pinball shooter. Not many traditional press conferences could move between those without giving the presenter whiplash.
We haven’t tested the new releases or demos for this report. We’ll save actual judgements for when we’ve got our hands on them. As an overview of what’s coming, however, Raw Fury has given indie players plenty to circle on the calendar.
