Skystone Games

Skystone Games is publishing two upcoming projects: HODKA, announced in September 2026 for PC with a 2027 window, and SlashZero, which showed a new trailer in June 2026 for PC and PS5.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 24

Skystone Games has moved through 2026 as a publisher with two games in view rather than a developer of its own titles. SlashZero came first, with a trailer shown during the PC Gaming Show on June 8, 2026. Streetlamp Studio is developing it: a side-scrolling roguelike action game set in a cyberpunk world with anime-style graphics, where players are Chrono Hackers who travel parallel worlds and fight the void master Yeroso. The trailer focused on high-speed combat with aerial combos and character upgrades, and introduced new characters. It is scheduled for PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, and for PS5.

Three months later, on September 21, 2026, Skystone announced HODKA. That one is developed by Flazm, the Lithuanian studio behind Train Valley and Scrap Garden, and it is planned for 2027 on PC through Steam. The game has a player driving a battered van across an unmapped taiga to find a missing uncle, scavenging with a metal detector by day while fog and an unknown threat close in at night. Its Steam store page lists Japanese text.

Taken together, the two announcements point to a publisher working with external studios across different genres and regions: a cyberpunk roguelike from Streetlamp Studio and an open-world driving survival game from Flazm. Neither has a confirmed release date beyond SlashZero's lack of a stated window and HODKA's 2027 plan.
