The MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025 took to the internet airwaves ahead of PAX West and showed off a stream of independent games headed to hardware this holiday season and beyond. 

In 2012, a group of independent game developers and enthusiasts assembled to form the Media Indie Exchange (a.k.a. the MIX) and spread the news about their games. Its livestream was previously known as the Guerrilla Collective Online Showcase. Here in the fall of 2025, there’s also an in-person MIX showcase at Seattle’s Block 41 event space, and we'll be there later to go hands-on with some of the games featured in the presentation. 

Below, we’ll walk you through all of today's biggest announcements for Epic Games Store players. Be sure to follow along on our news page for more from the MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025.

Escape From Duckov

Developer Team Soda’s Escape From Duckov is a top-down shooter where you gather supplies, build your base, and survive. Failing that, you lose gear. 

A trailer from the MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025 showed off the deadly duck in action, shooting its way through a neighborhood, picking up and swapping out items, using a flashlight to see in the dark, and…making a mysterious offering. It wrapped up with a quick flyover of the game’s environments, from soccer fields to backyards to docks and industrial corridors.

Bandit Trap

In Bandit Trap, the 3-versus-1 multiplayer game from the developers at PICOMY, it’s your choice to play as the Bandits (who break into the Trapper’s house) or the Trapper (who sets up bandit traps). It's a bit Home Alone-esque. 

Today's trailer from the MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025 showed off the chaotic multiplayer, as the Bandits destroyed environments and attempted to make off with the gold—and the Trapper of course tried to stop them.

Yooka-Replaylee

Yooka-Replaylee is a remaster of Playtonic Games' 2017 3D platformer, updating the original Yooka-Laylee with new challenges, mechanics, secrets, and more. 

A trailer shown at the MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025 set up the story of Yooka and Laylee and their quest to save their friends and the world. We saw the updated graphics, how the dual-protagonist mechanics work in both puzzles and combat, and a bunch of costume changes—including some cheeky formalwear.

Rue Valley 

Rue Valley is an isometric role-playing game from the developers at Emotion Spark Studios, who infused their time-loop adventure with emotional stories.

The game’s MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025 trailer centered on the protagonist’s constant battle with his own mind. He spoke to various characters, engaged in a little dumpster-diving research, sat down at a bar for some drinking, beat up a vending machine, and gave dual middle fingers to his therapist. And then at 8 AM…he started all over again. 

Add Rue Valley to your Epic Games Store wishlist today ahead of its November 11, 2025 release. 

Godbreakers

Godbreakers is a co-op action game where you absorb your enemy’s powers and use it against them. 

We saw the colorful, neon-infused action from the developers at To The Sky during a new trailer at the MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025. Up to four players joined forces to platform their way through fantasy-inspired worlds, swinging two-handed blades, slapping enemies, and sliding around the environment. It’s combat at a frenetic pace, as characters slid around, attacked, absorbed, and unleashed mayhem—including the ultimate Godbreak attack.

Kernel Hearts

“Your boot sequence—it worked. Welcome to Babel. Will you be able to stop the ashes and save mankind?” 

That question set up the trailer for Kernel Hearts at the MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025. What followed was a mix of action and interaction in this co-op action RPG from the developers at Ephemera Games. It stars four magical girl protagonists on a mission to dethrone a god and save the world. 

You can add Kernel Hearts to your Epic Games Store wishlist today ahead of its upcoming closed alpha playtest. 

Don't Wake the Beast

Developer Artificial Disasters’ Don’t Wake the Beast is a roguelite stealth game about sneaking through dungeons that are always changing. 

A new Don’t Wake the Beast trailer at the MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025 gave a quick overview of the moment-to-moment action, as we watched the beleaguered protagonist avoid traps with a grappling hook, engage with enemies, avoid the gaze of a giant dragon, solve puzzles in the dark, and collect treasures. But here’s the twist: Every treasure that you collect makes your dungeon crawling adventure that much more difficult.

Add Don’t Wake the Beast to your Epic Games Store wishlist today ahead of its 2026 release window. 

Void Dungeon

Void Dungeon, the multiplayer action-RPG from the developers at TRIK Soft, arrived at the MIX Fall Game Showcase 2025 touting subterranean battles and copious costumes. Today's trailer gave us a rapidfire overview of character customization, retro 2D pixel-art worlds, and tons of hacking and slashing. 

Add Void Dungeon to your Epic Games Store wishlist today before its release in 2026.
