“This year’s No Time To Loot brings together more developers than ever before, highlighting the diversity and creativity of loot-driven design. In today’s highly competitive video game industry, many promotional tools can be costly or simply out of reach for developers. That’s why we host events like this, to provide a platform where their games can shine. We’re proud to support so many voices in this genre, and we will continue to do so with our upcoming festivals as well,” said Anton Bondarev, Founder of Human Qube.
Melvin Frank, the co-CEO and co-founder of Sidekick Publishing, added:
“Loot-heavy games thrive in content creation. Their chaotic and rewarding gameplay is exactly the kind of experience many creators love to stream for hours, and we’ve seen firsthand how well this type of game resonates with communities. It’s that ‘just one more run’ feeling that keeps people coming back. That’s why we’re excited to support No Time To Loot 2025 and help highlight the amazing devs behind these experiences”
Beyond No Time To Loot 2025, Human Qube is also preparing two additional major festivals this year: the Metroidvania Fusion Festival and Bullet Heaven Festival 3.0 (the latter will be launched in cooperation with Erabit and Sidekick Publishing as well). Looking into 2026, the team is planning to introduce a brand-new event format and showcase to further expand opportunities for developers worldwide.
