Utrecht, The Netherlands, November 22, 2024 — Multiplayer arena brawler Nubs! is coming to Steam in Q2 2025! This was revealed during yesterday’s MIX Fall Showcase with a brand-new trailer showing off more chaotic gameplay goodness, such as a wide variety of weapons and ways to customize them.
Watch the new Nubs! MIX Showcase Trailer below:
Yesterday, Nubs! was featured in the MIX Fall Showcase, where co-developers Glowfish Interactive and Rangatang (ex-Awesomenauts developers) revealed that their absurd, NUB-tacular multiplayer game will be brawling its way to Steam in Q2 2025. Pick your Nub and join the battle against up to at least four other colorfully violent fellows. In the game mode shown in the MIX Showcase Trailer, Nubs must gather stars, and the one to gather the most stars by the end of a match will be named champion! Anything can happen in a round of Nubs!, so don’t expect the time for a carefully planned strategy — get ready or get Nubbed!
The showcase trailer demonstrates a variety of Nub costumes players can choose from — will you be bonking your Nub-mates as a chicken? Or how about a pirate?! And since a Nub without a weapon is like a fish out of water, chests containing weapons and buffs will be scattered about the fighting ground. Arm your Nub with the Burny-Stick to shoot fireballs from afar, a Giga-Pointer-Popper with its barely controllable volley of arrows, or a Ka-brrr bomb to inconvenience your enemies by freezing them. Then strengthen yourself or your weapons with a buff to, for instance, become faster or shoot more fireballs! More is MORE!!
Besides the maps visible in the trailer — Flaming Fiesta and Funky Frogwood — more will be available to wreak havoc in. Glowfish Interactive and Rangatang will also be cooperating closely with the Nubs! community to finetune the gameplay and create more weapons, for instance. The first ever beta test will take place on December 14th and 15th. Those who want to be part of the chaos can make sure to join the game’s Discord to receive a notification once testing is available. More information about Nubs! will also be revealed here.
Nubs! is expected to release Q2 2025 and will offer players a chaotic multiplayer experience brimming with indie charm and nostalgia. Wishlist Nubs! on Steam now.

The core of Nubs! originated at Ronimo Games, with Rangatang purchasing and adapting the intellectual property in 2023. With a solid foundation in place at Ronimo, Nubs! has since seen a great evolution at Rangatang and, together with Glowfish Interactive, the agile, indie nature of both studios has helped the core gameplay become even more refined and awesome.
