Akupara Games

Akupara Games is publishing two games in 2026: Montabi, a roguelike deckbuilder from Indonesian developer Mankibo, and Airframe Ultra, a hoverbike battle racer from Videocult. Both have demos on Steam.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 13

Akupara Games is a publisher with two 2026 releases from outside developers on its slate. The earlier of the two is Montabi, a roguelike deckbuilder from Indonesian developer Mankibo, set for PC and Xbox on August 6, 2026. A demo arrived at Steam Next Fest on June 15. The game has 22 creature types, evolution mechanics, and a 3x3 grid battle system.

Two months later, on November 5, 2026, Akupara publishes Airframe Ultra, a hoverbike battle racer from Videocult, the studio behind Rain World. The game is set in Mega City West, a ruined future metropolis where riders pilot floating machines called Airframes through underground races. Riders attack rivals with pipes, chains, plasma torches, and swords. It supports split-screen and online multiplayer, plus customization for the Airframe and rider. A demo is already live on Steam.

The two projects point in different directions. Montabi is a deckbuilder with creature collection and turn-based grid combat from a developer making a full release. Airframe Ultra is a violent racing game and a change of direction for a studio known for Rain World. Akupara's role in both is the same: publisher. In both cases, a Steam demo precedes launch, and the announced launch windows are specific dates rather than seasons.
