Phoenixx Inc. (based in Musashino City, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kazunori Sakamoto) is pleased to announce its participation in “BitSummit the 13th,” Japan’s largest indie game festival, to be held both online and offline from Friday, July 18, to Sunday, July 20, 2025.
In conjunction with this exhibition, we are announcing that Phoenixx has been decided as the publisher for SUMMER ROAD.
Furthermore, to celebrate “BitSummit the 13th,” the “Phoenixx x GYAARCon Edition” Steam bundle will be available for purchase starting Friday, July 18.
Phoenixx to Publish “SUMMER ROAD”!
SUMMER ROAD is an award-winning title from the “2nd GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest” hosted by GYAAR Studio in cooperation with Phoenixx. The game will be prominently featured for hands-on demos at the GYAAR Studio booth at the BitSummit venue.
SUMMER ROAD
Platform: Steam
Release Date: Scheduled for 2025
Developer: REBUILD GAMES
A 10-minute roguelite RPG for the busy adult.
An auto-battle roguelite RPG that combines “auto-battle,” “dress-up,” and “roguelite” elements, focusing solely on the hack-and-slash fun of swapping items. With visuals aiming for both novelty and familiarity in 3D, built on the charm of nostalgic 2D RPG sandboxes, this is a title we hope to deliver to the adult players who were once captivated by those games.
At BitSummit, “SUMMER ROAD” will be MASSIVELY featured at the “GYAAR Studio Booth”!
At the BitSummit venue, in addition to being exhibited at the “Phoenixx Booth” (3F IP3-09), SUMMER ROAD will be extensively featured at the “GYAAR Studio Booth” (SV-13), located directly opposite. Visitors can enjoy hands-on demos of the latest version of the game, as well as space exhibits including a photo spot to experience the game’s world.
The latest updates will be posted on the official X accounts for Phoenixx (https://x.com/Phoenixx_Inc) and GYAAR Studio (https://x.com/GYAAR_Studio).
