Double Stallion's Surfpunk is in demo, with an updated build on Steam for Steam Next Fest in October 2026. Early Access timing is undecided.
Double Stallion's Surfpunk has been playable as a demo since December, and the studio has kept the demo current rather than moving on. In October 2026 it released an updated build timed to Steam Next Fest, with 32 new MODs, 4 new skills, 3 new cutscenes, revamped forging, lobby codes, and higher solo movement speed. The game is a surf-and-slash action RPG made with Vendetta, set on a submerged ocean world where Raiders deploy from a mother ship on engine-equipped Rushboards, explore randomly generated islands, fight monsters drawn to the resource Ebreth, and tow loot back by transport ship.
A hands-on report from BitSummit PUNCH in May 2026 had already found the core loop working: fast movement, combat, crafting, and a tsunami time limit. The same report noted the demo played in Japanese even though the Steam page said otherwise, and that Japanese in-game text is listed for the demo. The four weapon types are a melee Sword, a ranged Pistol, a hybrid Anchor with two stances, and a Guitar whose effects change with input timing. The demo supports solo play and online co-op for up to 4 players on PC via Steam. Early Access timing is undecided, so the Next Fest update is aimed at returning players and at converting them before a date that does not exist yet.
