Finish Line Game’s next title, DeadRoot, is a 3D Metroidvania Action-Adventure in a Barbaric Bug-Sized World; Exclusive Reveal at FGS Summer Showcase
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, June 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Independent game development studio Finish Line Games has announced its next title during this year’s Summer Games Fest. The reveal trailer for their new game, DeadRoot, was one of several world premieres during the Future Games Show Summer Showcase. DeadRoot is a barbaric medieval action-adventure set in a bug-sized world of underground dungeons and towering ruins. Splatter bug guts and slay colossal bosses as a lone snail warrior, who must draw his sword against overwhelming odds.
DeadRoot follows Kitt, equipped with blade and shell, as he ventures into a fallen kingdom where corrupted rulers have plunged the small creatures into chaos. What were once thriving realms are now infested and crawling with mean bugs, undead creatures, and towering figures that have become cruel and greedy with power. As Kitt journeys deeper into the mysterious world, he uncovers an unsettling truth beneath the roots. DeadRoot channels the weight and momentum of every swing into a ruthless, fast-paced combat experience with satisfying impact.
“We wanted to make a game that hits hard the second you see it,” said Daniel Posner, CEO and co-founder of Finish Line Games. “DeadRoot is about a tiny hero in a big, brutal world, and that contrast is the whole heart of the game. Underneath the conflict and carnage, there’s a really deep story about life, death, and the small creatures that get caught in between.”
DeadRoot is targeting release in 2027 on PC and consoles. For more information on DeadRoot, please wishlist the game on Steam and visit FinishLineGames.com. Follow Finish Line Games on TikTok, X (Twitter), Facebook, YouTube, and join their Discord.
