Walnut Creek, Calif. (October 11, 2024) – Maximum Entertainment today announced that a brand-new demo for open-world city builder Overthrown will be part of Steam Next Fest along with the highly-anticipated, emotional puzzle-platform adventure Spirit of the North 2.

In Overthrown, players can pick up and throw anything from houses (or even citizens!) to massive trees to construct their land and rule their kingdom. Build and manage either alone or with friends in up to six-player co-op. The upcoming demo on Steam, beginning Monday, October 14th, will allow co-op play for the very first time. New structures such as the powder mill, ale house, blast furnace, and butchery will be present, as well as diverse player outfits and enemy types.
 

Harness the power of a magical crown to defend townsfolk from bandits and mutants. Build, gather resources, explore, and farm to turn a fledgling state into a commanding, self-sustaining community. Grab your friends, don your crown, and prepare to take your land from meager to mighty.
 

Spirit of the North 2, also making an appearance in Steam Next Fest, invites players to save the world’s lost guardians in a gorgeous world in which an extraordinary fox must make its way home. Solve challenging puzzles and develop new abilities to retrieve magical relics. Spirit of the North 2, sequel to critically acclaimed Spirit of the North, will come to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
