Surfpunk Brings Updated Demo to Steam Next Fest
The demo update lands before the Early Access launch and before the festival window opens, so the build on show is the one Double Stallion wants judged.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Double Stallion and Vendetta will show Surfpunk at Steam Next Fest, which runs from October 20 to 27, 2026. The action RPG casts players as Raiders, surfer-pirate hybrids who sail from the mother ship Beast Ship and fight a lifeform called Smi. An updated demo is out now, with an overhauled forging system, new skills, and faster movement in solo play. A new trailer shows co-op play.
The updated demo went live alongside the festival announcement, not after it. Double Stallion and Vendetta have reworked forging, added new skills, and sped up movement during solo play. A co-op trailer accompanies the release.
The setting is a surface mostly underwater after a catastrophic disaster. Players are Raiders, part surfer and part pirate, working from the mother ship Beast Ship against a lifeform called Smi while hunting treasure. Steam Next Fest runs from October 20 to 27, 2026.
