505 Games

505 Games is publishing across sim racing, soulslikes, and shooters, with Assetto Corsa EVO and Assetto Corsa Rally in early access and a new co-op cooking FPS, Mayhem A La Carte, announced for PC early access in 2027. The publisher holds the Ghostrunner IP, and its next announced release is Nivalis Nights on September 30.

Synthesized from 9 Yomimono stories · updated 3d ago

505 Games' recent slate is split between games already out and games still being built in public. Mingmo: Wings of Despair passed 5 million cumulative sales worldwide by its first anniversary on July 24, 2026, with a 30 percent discount running on Steam and other storefronts. Crime Boss: Rockay City, developed by Ingame Studios, took its largest update to date on June 19, 2026: Update #21 added a Story Mode with two missions, including an alien-themed level, and a 90 percent off Steam sale brought the game to 230 yen through June 26.

Two racing titles from the publisher are in early access on Steam. Assetto Corsa Rally, with Supernova Games Studios, reached V0.5 on June 29, 2026, adding two laser-scanned Greek WRC stages with 12 variations, 22 km of road, and 16-player online multiplayer. Assetto Corsa EVO, with KUNOS Simulazioni, moved to Ver.0.8 on July 9, 2026, adding the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, the KTM X-Bow GT2, GT4, and Volkswagen Golf 8 R, plus expanded mod support and VR foveated rendering, then to Ver.0.9 on August 26, 2026, adding three licensed cars and a Special Events mode. Ver.0.9 also requires mandatory pit stops in online timed races over 20 minutes.

New publishing deals point in different directions. 505 Games signed Paradark Studio's post-apocalyptic cyberpunk western FPS ExeKiller for PC via Steam, with console versions under consideration, and announced Mayhem A La Carte - Chaos Kitchen, a co-op cooking shooter from Ingame Studios, for PC early access in 2027 with two restaurants at launch. Nivalis Nights, from ION LANDS, launches September 30 with Japanese language support, and its first Q&A video introduced a relationship system and a serial killer in the city of Nivalis.

The Ghostrunner series sits with the publisher. One More Level CEO Szymon Bryla said on July 3, 2026 that ideas exist for a third game or a spin-off, but development requires approval from 505 Games, which owns the IP. The studio's current focus is Valor Mortis, set for release on September 24, 2026.

505 Games and INGAME STUDIOS announced Mayhem A La Carte - Chaos Kitchen, a co-op cooking shooter, on September 9. The game is an FPS where players work as chefs in a restaurant kitchen and fill a steady stream of orders while armed enemies raid the room. Players cook with a weapon in one hand, defend with the other, and can press cooking tools and dishes into service as weapons: a frying pan as a melee weapon, a thrown knife, bread fired from a toaster, a burnt failed dish that explodes like a bomb, and a cold dessert that freezes enemies. It supports solo play and online co-op for up to four players. Ingame Studios, known for the crime action FPS Crime Boss: Rockay City, is developing. The game is planned for early access on PC via Steam in 2027, with two restaurants included at launch.
