Co-developers Glowfish Interactive and Rangatang have announced Nubs!, an “absurd arena brawler” they now have in development.

Nubs! is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) and will launch sometime in 2025. The game will be the first release for Rangatang, who are made up of ex-Ronimo devs that worked on Awesomenauts.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

All hail Konzumos the Unentertained, the one who demands to be amused. Guide your Nub through a variety of treacherous arenas brimming with traps. Unlock new power-ups after every match, and collect the most ridiculous gear to smack other Nubs down – all to become Konzumos’ favorite.

Nubs! is an absurd PvP arena brawler inspired by old-school, top-down RPGs. It’s brought to you with passion and care by numerous creators of Awesomenauts and Trifox.
