As of July 2026, tinyBuild is publishing the co-op action strategy game Kingmakers, shown at Bilibili World 2026, and the PvPvE extraction shooter SAND: Raiders of Sophie, which was delayed for a fourth time on its intended June 10 release date to June 22.
tinyBuild's two upcoming titles are in very different positions. At Bilibili World 2026, the publisher showed Kingmakers, an action strategy game from developer Redemption Road. Executive producer Anton Pavlov said development took over four years, starting from the idea of making a game immediately understandable from its visuals. The demo featured single-player stronghold capture missions, but the game is designed for up to four-player cooperative play, with players using modern firearms against medieval forces.
Meanwhile, the PvPvE extraction shooter SAND: Raiders of Sophie has struggled with repeated delays. Announced during Summer Game Fest 2026 for a June 10 early access release on Steam, the game was developed by Hologryph and TowerHaus. It is set on a procedurally generated desert planet where players control a giant mobile base called the Trampler. A server slam playtest ran from June 6 to June 7. On June 10, the intended release day, tinyBuild announced a fourth delay to June 22, citing a critical server issue discovered during the server slam. A new server slam was scheduled for June 15.

At Bilibili World 2026, tinyBuild and Redemption Road showed Kingmakers, an action strategy game where players time-slip to medieval England and use modern firearms against knights and cavalry. The demo featured single-player stronghold capture missions, but the game is designed for up to four-player cooperative play. Executive producer Anton Pavlov said development took over four years, starting from the idea of making a game immediately understandable from its visuals. Guns range from shotguns to near-future laser weapons.
Jun 10
Publisher tinyBuild announced on June 10 that the early access release of SAND: Raiders of Sophie has been postponed to June 22, the fourth delay. The reason is a critical server issue discovered during a server slam held just before the planned June 10 launch. A new server slam is scheduled for June 15.
Jun 6
Publisher tinyBuild announced during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 6 that the PvPvE extraction shooter 'SAND: Raiders of Sophie' will release on June 10 for PC via Steam. Developed by Hologryph and TowerHaus, the game is set on a procedurally generated desert planet where civilization has collapsed. Players control a giant mobile base called the Trampler, which functions as transportation, storage, shelter, and weapon. The game supports solo or team play, with players looting other players and NPCs while extracting valuable resources. A server slam playtest began on June 6 and runs until the evening of June 7 European time; participants can join via the Steam store page and will receive a special weapon skin for the full game. The game also features a battle royale mode called Storm Dive Mode, where the safe zone shrinks and players fight to be the last survivor. The Trampler can be customized with different structures, engines, and weapons. The game supports Japanese display.
