PHASMOPHOBIA STUDIO’S PUBLISHING LABEL TO REVEAL SLATE AT NEW INDIE GAMING SHOWCASE COMING THIS AUGUST

Kinetic Publishing Showcase to be hosted by Ben Starr and feature games from talented indie teams from around the world

Southampton, UK – July 29th, 2026 - Kinetic Publishing, the publishing label from the award winning developer of Phasmophobia, has announced a brand-new indie game showcase taking place on 12 August 2026.

Narrated by Ben Starr (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Final Fantasy XVI), the Kinetic Publishing Showcase will reveal the exciting first wave of games from Kinetic Publishing coming in 2027 and 2028. Filmed and produced by DoubleJump, the showcase will include updates from the developers of a number of highly anticipated indie titles, confirming release windows and platform availability.

Kinetic Publishing aims to offer the support, guidance, and experience that Phasmophobia creator Daniel Knight would have wanted when originally launching Phasmophobia as a solo developer in 2020. The goal was to sign unique, creative games from talented indie teams and empower them to live up to their full potential, and now Kinetic Publishing is ready to reveal the first wave of its publishing lineup to the world.

The Kinetic Publishing Showcase will be streamed on the official Kinetic Publishing Twitch channel on 12 August 2026 at 20:00 BST / 21:00 CEST / 12:00 PT / 15:00 ET, with co-streaming partners to be announced closer to the show.

“Launching Kinetic Publishing is about creating the kind of support Dan would’ve appreciated when starting out. Since announcing Kinetic Publishing earlier this year, we’ve had hundreds of submissions, and had the pleasure of meeting some of the most passionate and creative indie teams across the globe,” said Asim Tanvir, Director of Marketing & Partnerships. “We’re so excited to show off the incredible games that we’ve got coming up at our debut showcase next month.”

“We’ve been blown away by the projects we’ve seen since Kinetic Publishing began. From cosy to sci-fi and horror, and everything in between, our goal is to help developers realise their vision and give them the support to succeed.” Said Chris Rose, Publishing Production Manager. “This showcase is our first opportunity to share some of those visions with players and we can’t wait for everyone to meet the talented devs and discover the special games they’re creating.”
