Devolver Digital has spent 2026 announcing and shipping a steady stream of titles. In June, it released STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions in early access and announced Pikuniku 2 for PC and Nintendo Switch 2. In July, it confirmed the final free update for BALL x PIT, which had already passed 1 million sales. August brought Serious Sam: Shatterverse, a co-op roguelite from Behaviour Interactive, and the announcement of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, launching October 14.
The publisher also revealed Volvy's Adventure: Reslimed, a 2D action game starring its mascot, set for November 19, the same day as Grand Theft Auto VI. This fulfills a long-standing Devolver promise to release a game on the same day as GTA6. The game is framed as a remaster of an unreleased remake of a fictional classic.
Financially, Devolver announced plans to delist and go private, citing a share price about 96% below its 2021 listing and estimated annual savings of $1.6 million. Revenue has grown, but operating losses have persisted since 2022. The shareholder vote is set for September 8.
