Nubs!: Arena is bringing its fish-slapping competitions to Steam on May 15th and will be free to keep for the first 24 hours! Ever-changing loot and stackable roguelite passives make for fast-paced, unpredictable rounds filled with chaotic gameplay in this absurd multiplayer brawler. Play with up to twenty friends in one large, violent rumble, or climb the leaderboards in randomised free for all/2v2 matches with four players. Looking for a bit less mayhem? You can also chill out on the couch and get a local match going with up to three friends.
With a whole bunch of cosmetic skins available at the start of each battle, players are guaranteed to have chaotic amounts of fun as they chase each other around a variety of arenas riddled with traps and chests while dressed up as pandas, pirates and… cardboard boxes. At the end of the day every Nub is the same and will turn into a star once killed — the moment where other Nubs must grab them before they flee and come back to life! The Nub with the most stars at the end of a match — which consists of five lightning-quick rounds — is crowned king Nub and can take pride in the knowledge that they are the best.
Nubs!: Arena is launching May 15th — free to keep for the first 24 hours — and will offer players an addictive, chaotic multiplayer experience brimming with indie charm and nostalgia. Make sure to join the game’s Discord to stay up to date on the game’s development.

About Nubs!: Arena
Nubs!: Arena is an absurd arena brawler inspired by old-school, top-down adventure games. It’s brought to you with passion and care by numerous creators of Awesomenauts and Trifox. Play together with up to twenty friends and clash in lightning-quick multiplayer battles that mix frantic, party-style chaos with roguelite progression, or climb the leaderboards in randomised free for all/2v2 matches with four players.
The core of Nubs!: Arena originated at Ronimo Games, with Rangatang purchasing and adapting the intellectual property in 2023. With a solid foundation in place at Ronimo, Nubs!: Arena has since seen a great evolution at Rangatang and, together with Glowfish Interactive, the agile, indie nature of both studios has helped the core gameplay become even more refined and awesome.
The game is coming to Steam on May 15th and will be free to keep for the first 24 hours.
