AREA35 is bringing a playable demo of 'Tiny Metal 2' to BitSummit PUNCH at Kyoto's Miyako Messe from May 22 to May 24. The turn-based strategy sequel introduces naval warfare with submarines, battleships, landing ships, and aircraft carriers, plus new terrain types like shallows and rocky areas. Over ten new characters join the roster, including the pirate-themed Admiral Adonis. Demo stations offer cooperative play for two players against two NPCs, and online multiplayer supports up to eight players with various battle rules. Director Hiroaki Yura said the team received advice from the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Australian military to ensure realism. The Steam version is scheduled for spring 2027. AREA35 will also exhibit 'PROJECT BLITZ,' a four-player party game inspired by Bomberman where players compete for a tank that drops from the center of the arena.
