Indie-Us Games pushed the superhero action title Undefeated: Genesis from a 2026 release to early 2027. Producer Daigo Hyodo and director Yuma Shinohara told Game Spark at BitSummit PUNCH that the delay allows them to deepen story-driven content. The previous game, Undefeated, has surpassed five million cumulative downloads, with North America as the largest market.
Indie-Us Games producer Daigo Hyodo and director Yuma Shinohara sat down with Game Spark at BitSummit PUNCH in Kyoto to discuss the superhero open-world title Undefeated: Genesis. The game, in development since 2023, was originally targeting a 2026 release but has been pushed to early 2027. Hyodo said the core loop-flight, superpowers, and environmental destruction-is already functional, but the team wants to enrich story-specific content before shipping. Shinohara noted that the project grew from a smaller vision as they decided to include a full narrative and voice acting.
The first Undefeated title has accumulated over five million downloads, with North America accounting for the largest share, followed by China, South America, and Southeast Asia. That overseas strength led Indie-Us Games to partner with Chorus Worldwide for publishing. Hyodo said the studio has been building an overseas-oriented social media presence, sometimes reaching two million impressions per post.
