In mid‑July 2026, Powerbomb Games, in partnership with Umbrella Gaming and Tinker Town, announced Pro Jank Footy, an over‑the‑top arcade comedy sporting title that recreates Australian Rules Football. The game features more than 150 power‑ups that can boost squads or sabotage opponents, ten fictional Australian‑centric teams, and in‑game commentary by Australian comedy legend Broden Kelly. It is scheduled for a worldwide launch on 12 August 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, the original Switch, and PC via Steam, with multilingual support including Japanese and several European languages.

Shortly after, Headup Games and developer Goon Squad revealed Skatesterre, an arcade‑style skateboarding game following Dutch skater Sterre “Surfsterre” Meijer. Designed to recapture an early‑2000s feel with precise controls, combo chains, and an original punk‑rock soundtrack, the title was scheduled for a 13 August 2026 global release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.

Skatesterre officially launched on 13 August 2026, featuring mission‑based objectives, unlockable fashion, and Steam Deck verification. Both titles represent a wave of arcade‑flavoured sports games targeting multiple next‑gen consoles and PC with a focus on fast‑paced, nostalgic gameplay.
