Right off the heels of the Six One Indie Showcase on May 22nd, we're here with the tinyBuild Connect 2025, a bit of a shorter show, coming in at 26 minutes, but still packed with plenty of announcements. So let's take a look at what we have to look forward to from the teams working with tinyBuild.

Survive Dinosaurs and Mercenaries in the Upcoming FPS, FEROCIOUS, Playtest Live Now

Upcoming survival FPS FEROCIOUS got a new trailer to showcase some gameplay. You'll have to craft your equipment from resources you find in order to survive the onslaught by both mercenaries and dinosaurs in this single-player shooter.

Dungeon Crawler Shadows of Chroma Tower Launches July 2025

Ready for a rogue-lite PvE dungeon crawler with asynchronous PvP elements? Choose your faction, enter the tower, and fight your way as far as you can. Your efforts will be contributing to the global war effort, which the developers plan to weave into the game depending on how each faction does.

An Extraction Shooter with a Difference, SAND gets a New Trailer

SAND is a new PvPvE extraction shooter that takes a slightly different step than most other games in the genre, instead opting for players to roam the desert in huge mech platforms. Design your own mech to protect yourself from other players and the environment as you aim to recover valuable loot and hopefully, extract with it.

The main focus of the trailer is the fact that the game has been announced for release on Xbox Series consoles and PS5, but it's still good to see more footage nonetheless.

Pack Up Your Base for a Ride on the Tracks in Trainfort, a New Co-Op Survival Sandbox, Playtest Live Now

Trainfort is an open-world co-op survival crafting game. As a dwarf nomad, hit the road in this post-apocalyptic world with your bearded mates. Build a moving steam engine, pack your base with you, and explore the wilderness. The country is big, your legs are short, but you gotta keep moving!

Hozy Looks Like a High-Fidelity Take on Cozy Game 'Unpacking'. Playtest Live Now

If you liked the cozy game Unpacking, then Hozy might be right up your street. This one swaps the cutesy pixel art for a more realistic look, but it still looks like it'll scratch the same itch, with plenty of details in there to add to the charm.

Physics-Based Colony Builder 'All Will Fall' Enters Open Beta, June 9th

I had a great time when I played All Will Fall on the Steam Deck for a preview, and I was disappointed when I reached the end of the content available in that build, but now the game is about ready to enter Open Beta, and I'd definitely say this somewhat challenging and unique colony builder is worth your attention.

The King is Watching is a Unique Micro-Management Strategy, Out This July

The King is Watching is a unique roguelike strategy game. As ruler of the kingdom, it's your job to make sure everyone is working properly. The problem is, the moment you look away, they stop! You'll need to control your "gaze" to make sure your kingdom works efficiently, whether that's gathering resources or training armies.

Of Ash and Steel is a New Third-Person Open World RPG, Play-Test Sign-Ups Live

Of Ash and Steel is an immersive third-person open-world RPG created by a passionate team that values the essence of classic old-school RPGs and modern designs. Explore the lands of a once-prosperous island, hone your combat skills, and survive in the unforgiving realm of the Kingdom of the Seven.

Streets of Rogue 2 Gets a New Gameplay Trailer, but No Release Date. Updated Demo Available

After being delayed at the end of last year, Streets of Rogue 2 sadly still has no release date. This highly anticipated city sandbox game is still set for a 2025 launch, though, and the original Streets of Rogue game is available at 80% off for the time being.

First Person Hack n Slash 'VOIN' Teases Updates in Trailer

VOIN, a well-received first-person Hack n Slash, has just received a massive Thunderborn update, adding a new dungeon to the game, but the solo dev behind the game has also given us a sneak peek at what other updates are coming to the game in the future, including a new area and quests!

Speedrunners 2 Trailer Highlights 64-Player Tournaments, Playtest Signups Live.

Speedrunners 2 looks to stick pretty close to the format of the original, requiring players to do some precise platforming if they want to stay ahead of the pack and survive the round. But it's also offering innovation, including a new 64-player tournament mode, where players are eliminated in brackets until there are just 4 remaining to duke it out. The game launches later in 2025.

Drill Core, the Survival Roguelike Strategy, Leaves Early Access on July 17th. Nintendo Switch Release Later in 2025.

Fans of the Roguelike Strategy game Drill Core will be pleased to hear that the game is reaching Version 1.0 on July 17th and will officially leave Early Access. The 1.0 update promises to add a new gameplay mechanic, allowing you to co-operate with alien species, as well as introducing some quality of life improvements. A Nintendo Switch version of the game was also announced.

Hello Neighbor 3, Prototype 2, Adds New Gameplay Mechanics and is Available for Playtesting Now

Hello Neighbour might have originally started as a somewhat basic game, but Hello Neighbour 3 looks to add a lot more meat to the bones. You will encounter multiple houses with various owners, and it's up to you to figure out the best way to gain access, whether by being sneaky, using brute force, or perhaps kindness. It's up to you.

Kingmakers, the Anachronistic Medieval Shooter, Gets Delayed Again, to October 8th

After originally being due to be released in Q1 2025, then delayed in March to Q2 2025, Kingmakers has again been delayed until October 8th, 2025. Hopefully, these constant delays aren't a sign of deeper trouble, as the game really does look interesting, providing a mix of strategy and shooter action, alongside co-operative play and physics-based destruction.
