The showcase is set to be packed to the brim with 20+ titles and will feature world premiere trailers and announcements, never-before-seen game footage, and much more. 

A partial list of announced developers presenting at the Top Hat Studios Showcase include: Kyle Thompson (Crypt Custodian, Islets), Casper Croes (Alisa), J.R. Hudepohl (Labyrinth Of The Demon King), Molegato (Frogun), Nico Papalia (Athenian Rhapsody), Slime King Games (Under The Island), and much, much more. Another 15 developers, many new to the Top Hat Studios family, will additionally present titles in the showcase.

Notably among the announcements in the showcase is the reveal of the Labyrinth Of The Demon King release date. The game, whose hype has built at a momentous pace over the past few months following its February Next Fest demo, has scored big with horror and dungeon-crawler fans alike and landed itself as one of the top wishlisted games on Steam. The title won’t be alone however — it’ll be situated next to many viral indie hits being revealed for publishing for the first time, as well as new, unannounced titles from returning developers in the Top Hat Studios family. 

Top Hat Studios is keen to tease its star-studded line-up on social media over the next two weeks leading up to the showcase, alongside its partnered developers. The publisher, known for primarily focusing on both Japanese-inspired and retro titles and working with bold, grassroots creators, is expected to reveal 8 new games in its portfolio, including several titles never before seen by the public. 

The Top Hat Studios Publisher Showcase will livestream on April 22, 2025, at 1PM PT / 10AM ET / 5PM UTC and will be streamed by The MIX (YouTube, Twitch) and on Top Hat Studios’ own YouTube, Twitch, and Steam Publisher Page.
