Hey Rivals,
Team DeGen is hard at work on DeGen Rivals and we cannot wait to ship the full game this summer. We’re super pumped to show you what you’ve been working on: new features, new maps, new gamemodes, and a few surprises along the way.
In preparation for launch, as of 26 May 2026, the DeGen Rivals demo has been sunsetted and is no longer available in Steam libraries or on the Steam store.
We are so grateful for your support and your feedback, and we can’t wait for you to try DR with your friends.

Huh. That was weird. Not sure what that was?
Anyways— in the meantime, we’re organising and taking part in CHAOS Fest 2026! Check it out at
See you soon! Be sure to follow us at x.com/degenrivals for more regular updates.
